At this point, who cares? Star Wars is dead and gone. They let KK raze the ground and salt the earth over the last decade. No one gives a shit because even a new boss can't salvage the franchise. The literal only way to actually save Star Wars is to decannonize everything that has come after the Disney purchase and immediately reinstate the Expanded Universe, but no one at Disney is willing to do that and so the franchise is effectively gone.
Yes, but they can move past the Skywalker bullshit. Come up with new characters that are not Jedi or sith but still have force abilities. There are no limits to what can be developed in a world of magic. Just make it interesting and relatable.

Lol, you need to re-read what you just wrote. What part of anything that Disney has done leads you to believe they are willing or capable of any of that shit?

If they were capable of that don’t you think they would have done it?
It has been almost 10 years since The Force Awakens came out and look at what they have done with the franchise?

But maybe you are right and the ship will be righted and good Star Wars will be coming out and you can pretend they didn’t piss in your face with tlj, acolyte, and others.

Shitty Star Wars is better than no Star Wars, right?

I don't expect these fucksticks to do something like that. They're clearly incapable of anything outside the box. Christ, they can't even move past John Williams style soundtracks. Everything is encrusted in member berries. Even the dialogue has to have OT callback lines like " I got a bad feeling about this". It never ends. But my point is that they SHOULD be able to create something new within the Star Wars universe.

The opening intro to GOTG was so refreshing, a space movie that was fast paced and interesting with good music to match the tone of the scene. Disney star wars spent more time copying OT Star Wars that they forgot to make GOOD Star Wars instead . They forgot why people liked Star Wars in the first place.

Before star wars, space themed TV/ movies was slow and laborious. It's now fast and laborious.

I mean their latest boondoggle was ripping off the Vader origin story but making him 2 black chicks. Well really just the same terrible actress, but still.

The only way to save Star Wars is to retcon all the taco bell diarrhea and bring back the colonoscopy prep diarrhea to replace it!

They should remake the prequel trilogy but make it good this time instead of dogshit aids. I mean completely re-envision the prequel trilogy keeping nothing from the shit that currently exists. Then re-release the pre-lucasized versions of the original trilogy without all the dumb changes in theaters. By this time everyone will have forgotten the sequel trilogy and you can go any fucking direction you want.

AI is going to be good enough to use the likeness of any actor at any age you want so the story is no longer limited by the age of actors/their deaths so you can still have the sequel trilogy follow the original trilogy but like 5 years after return of the jedi not 30 years later, again depends on where the story takes you no limitations having to deal with faggot mark Hamill

Yeah they spend what 4 billion to buy lucasarts and 2 billion on that park hotel and they've made, after production costs, like 2 billion total on all their movies so they are still in the hole a good 4 billion dollars.

Oh wait forgot about all the shit TV shows those are all fucking money pits too.

Guessing tv wipes out any profit from film so they basically set 6 billion dollars on fire

I'm sure they've made their money back but that isn't the problem. The problem is they should have been taking in profit, AND they lost out on comparable investments (even just basic bitch index funds) on top of inflation. When everyone else in the world made 50% on their money in that time and you did 4% over costs, that's a huge loss.

Touche.

If they had took 6 billion dollars and literally set it on fire they could of boiled enough water to generate steam and probably made a few hundred thousand dollars in electricity generation.

Nevermind just earning interest on thst money.

Instead they just vaporized 6 billion into the ether with no return at all, destroyed multiple brands and drove the value of the brand to zero

One news source said KK is leaving. Something called "Puck". Anyone ever hear of it? That's what every YouTuber is hanging their hopes and dreams on. Nothing has been confirmed. Don't get your boners going just yet.

If the have the reigns to Filoni and Farve, I'd have faith in Star Wars again.
The fuck? Filoni has done nothing but jam his idiot Clone Wars garbage into everything. What has he done that would give you any faith in his ability to direct the franchise? I just see more insufferable girl bosses and Asoka in every possible scene.

Don't need to worry about Filoni becoming studio head. He has 0 qualifications to run a studio. Being a creative on a few shows doesn't count.

Favreau is a maybe. JJ already turned it down after Solo flopped.
