There is one glaring difference here. Its freaking Star Wars! Disney owns Marvel and they seem to be doing OK. I don't have the numbers but I'm guessing Pirates made some money. While the fourth one was kind of a dud, they did make FOUR.
They are going to make multiple Star Wars movies. They will make money. Young kids, teens, adults, and old farts are going to see it regardless of who its marketed to. People on the internet will make fun, bash, be critical and love it.

They're using Yoda's dialect. So it's seven is the subject and it ate six.

yodas dialect inverts the last word into the first.
the words are seven eight nine.
you swap those words, not introduce totally new ones.

"wrong you are" instead of "you are wrong".
Not, "of you are", that doesn't even make any sense.

They're not seven eight nine. They're "six" "seven" and "eight". It's a twist on the old joke. Because Yoda yodas.

Let it go, you must.

Good point, we should be happy because a big corporation will make money and not worry so much about whether a movie series we love and want to see redeemed is actually redeemed.

ok, you are just dumb. Yoda doesn't use entirely different words, he just inverts the order. Its not a twist on a joke. Its not a joke at all. Unless you are going for absurdity.
"why did the chicken cross the road?" "Banana".
which they weren't. It was just someone who doesn't understand Yoda speech patterns.

Take your own example. you just moved "let it go" to the beginning of the sentence.

You are missing the joke caliane... The punchline changes because Yoda uses different speech patterns. That's it. Forbyoda, the joke makes sense to him but doesn't translate right, hence Luke's confusion. That's the joke. Move along

yes... he inverts the order of words... you guys can instinctively do Yoda speak, because the patterns are so simple and easy. yet the "joke" completely fucked it up, and did it totally wrong. Why are you guys defending this?

NO shit the punchline changes. it should be NINE, seven eight. the NINE moving from last to first.

But they still wanted to keep the numerical order. That's also part of the joke. You're a fucking idiot.

also, movies with kids as main characters can be fine. they can be great, even. most of the time we immediately sigh when we find out kids are main characters but let me provide you with exhibit A: Goonies.

besides, the "kids" are more "young adults" at this point. the same age that luke was in a new hope. i'm reserving judgement till we have more info. clone wars did a great job of picking and choosing EU characters... let's hope the movies can continue the trend. They've already said that star wars: rebels is going to do the same... though... not sure if i'll be able to watch that... it seems too juvenile for me. we'll see.

When I said "Star Wars Babies", I was more referring to the fact that nearly every one of the younger actors has been rumored to be a child of one of the characters from the original trilogy, which I think would be lazy writing. I'm doubting that is actually the case, but I really have no issue with the ages of the actors since it was obvious this trilogy was mostly going to be following a new generation. I'd just prefer the new generation not consist entirely of Luke Jr, Han Jr, Lando Jr., etc.

It's dumb because the Star Wars Universe is an very large stage. But you can thank Lucas and his objectively terrible ideas for terrifying them away from the idea of using it as a setting rather than a specific story. Or even a story with different kinds of characters. Star Wars = Han Solo + someone named Skywalker + Magic + Spaceships.

I'm still crossing my fingers that someone at Disney wakes up and realizes how much material they have to work with and ditches the idea of the origin stories between the sequel trilogy. There are endless possibilities of what writers could come up with when they're no longer forced to continually draw from a well George Lucas dug over 30 years ago. I love Han Solo and Yoda, but there's really got to be more to this universe than just this small handful of people and their connection to the Skywalker family.

I figured you were thinking of a reimagining of Muppet Babies and I got temporarily a little more excited than a 30 year old man should be for Star Wars Babies.

You're thinking too small.

Han Solo origin story = Corellia history, basically the origin of the Republic and all that goes with it. Not to mention they ought to include Green Jedi.

Boba Fett origin story = Mandalorian history, and all that goes with it. Fucks sake that's a multi-billion dollar franchise in itself, and it takes us beyond the Empire/Republic. And two words....Darth Fucking Vader. Everyone wants to know how those two met and why Vader told him No fucking disintegrations.

Using Lucas characters as the framework to expand the story is far better than just making up new shit and hoping it all goes to plan.

This is a guy trying to explain a joke because he has no sense of humor.
