And Guess what??? That was George Lucas's Story before Disney bought it, told him they would use it, then didn't. I dispise Bob Iger & Kathleen Kennedy for it.

The former is a carbon copy of New Hope that took no risks and was a hollow feel good nothing burger. TLJ was a preachy, pretentious, incoherent mess of unsatisfying subversion. I hope there's a 30 for 30 style documentary one day on how, against all odds and millions of dollars, they dropped the ball on Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I found hilarious about ROS, that's ironically similar to this Gus "solid' stuff - Abrams took the reigns back and knew TLJ ruined the new trilogy. So in the trailer for ROS he actually explicitly showed he was undoing Johnson's stuff with a clip Kylo Ren repairing his helmet. Like, literally, "hey see, we are fixing this."

I was really young watching the prequels and loved them at the time. My parents had me watch them in chronological order. I was REALLY attached to Anakin because kid Anakin and I looked alike. Boy was I devastated. Haven't rewatched any of them in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so many stories that they could bring back into the canon or make films about. Movies about Revan, Bane, or Exar Kun would print money if they were made well.

AuburnEagle79 2,169 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Rian Johnson is a curse word in my household. He was given the keys to a Ferrari and drove it like an idiot. Mando is doing a great job bringing the Clone Wars, Rebels, EU, and newer novels together. If it weren't for this show, I'd have already lost all faith in the saga. Give the keys to Filoni and never look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my wife's as well and I really cannot point to flaws to argue it. It's in a great spot as far as the timeline, and has something for everyone to enjoy. Crazy how great it turned out given all of the production drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abrams having Rey put up a great fight with a trained Solo/Skywalker with no training in TFA just because she's a Palpatine was total crap too. Especially since they didn't decide to make Rey a Palpatine til near the filming of ROS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since they didn't decide to make Rey a Palpatine til near the filming of ROS. I really enjoyed TFA in theaters, and it's still probably my favorite of the sequels, but they definitely needed to build on why she could do everything exceptionally well with virtually no experience at anything. What irks me the most is as far as the storyline was set-up, the whole Palpatine thing made sense had they built it up from TFA. She had the same fighting style, and her musical theme, Kylo Ren's, and Palpatine's all play into each other as if it were planned from the onset. Unfortunately the marathon style disaster of directors led to whatever the heck RoS was supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
