I didn't read any of the post, but the title of this thread alone speaks that a level of social deficiency exists with you, which it tells me you might need some friends or resources to help you. This is a genuine offer to lend a helping hand. Feel free to PM me when your ban is lifted.

lmaooo

I literally have more friends than I know what to do with. Tbh being popular is low key exhausting. Maintaining relationships takes a lot of work.

[ShawkFactory]

Never heard of this show.

[John8204]

Never heard of this show.

It was a Star Wars prequel series about a pair of twins one good and other evil. The evil one went around killing Jedi's for some reason. The series was a launch for Amadla Stenberg who is best known for playing Rue in the Hunger Games. It was produced by Leslie Headland (Russian Doll) who it looks like left Disney.

The show looked great but it felt like it should have been a Star Wars film but it was bloated out to a mini-series. And it's not a shock that it flopped

It's literally to watch any of that propaganda.

Deadpool and Wolverine is the highest grossing rated-R movie of all time. So they don't always miss. They must have missed hard with Acolyte, I haven't seen it, but they don't miss with everything.

I will say that both Marvel and Star Wars have grown stale. It's difficult to reinvent the wheel over and over with the same tired concept of good guys defeating evil villains. They had a new formula with Andor, and that worked.

[hiphopanonymous]

Good. Disney will still keep producing more crap that drags the star wars name though. Star Wars was basically George Lucas telling stories by putting his own atmospheric twist on classic story arcs, ancient tropes and universal truths. Disney for the past 30 years has only ever been subversive trash that comes from their belief that they know better than the bigoted audience and want to steer you into their morals and ethics which have to do with all the gender and other left leaning crap plaguing today's society. Disney is so corrupt as a company, they actually hate and never discuss their actual founder... Walt Disney. Bunch of pink haired weirdos are steering that company. Just wait for all the articles to pour out about how it's the "fans" that are the real reason they were "forced" to cancel a morally and ethically superior show.

No thanks.

Disney has absolutely, positively, killed Star Wars. I grew up with this IP since the 80s and they've managed to do something worse than make me hate it. I just stopped caring all together.

they've milked the living shit out of the IP. and deadpool & wolverine was all because Ryan Reynolds lobbied hard for the film. I never understood the lure of Andor, and I'm a fan of Diego Luna.

They should only focus on what works. The Mandalorian works and it looks like they sort of gave up on that project. Where is season 2 of Boba? And when are they just going to focus an entire series on the years of Darth Vader before his untimely meeting with Luke?? There are several years there to focus on, but nope.

The actor who plays Boba said he won't be appearing in the Mandalorian movie due to fan backlash from his own show, which leads me to believe there won't be a Book of Boba Fett season 2.

They need to leave the Skywalker period, point blank. We've seen the rise of the empire/fall of republic. We've seen the fall and redemption of Vader. We've seen the fates of Luke/Han/Leia. We've seen multiple versions of the Clone Wars. They've gone so far into having to explain every bit of that period that they're tripping over the canon.

Go 1000 years back or forward, when the events of the day would be unaffected by the shit they've been showing us the last 50 years. Move on. And drop the identity politics bullshit( which is something all of Hollywood needs to heed).

Supposedly the new film trilogy they are working on will be the first to completely detach itself from the Skywalker saga.

I think it's a great move. Luke, Vader, Yoda, Obiwan etc has been done to death now. Time to try something else.

Of course if it is just another Jedi vs another evil Sith, it will still be the same old stuff. So what they really need to do is try something new. Maybe build the entire story around someone who is just a human, and not a Jedi at all. Or start the trilogy off centered around a Sith. Just anything other than the cookie cutter of super good guy beats super bad guy.

Ha, I just typed that same thing. And from what I have read this is exactly what they are doing.

[Phoenix]

I think they had the right idea with Mandalorian but they couldn't help themselves by sticking it in the timeline we're already familiar with. That's the kind of story they need to do, just a regular joe making their way through the galaxy, just don't make him/her Lukes cousin or some dumb shit. Go wayyyyy into the future or past. That's been their problem, breaking away from the original cast because they're so iconic. And yeah, we don't need to do Jedi vs Sith again, at least not as main characters. I mean, they are part of the universe but you can only do so much with those archetypes/tropes.

And frankly, Star Wars became over-saturated. Part of the charm years ago was bringing out a trilogy, waiting X number of years, then bringing out another one. The quality dipped over time but even the Force Awakens was MASSIVELY hyped when it came out. Having multiple disney plus shows made it feel less special( same thing with the MCU).

[Patrick Chewing]

I also agree. They should focus on the Sith Lords from way before like Bane, Nihilus, Revan, etc.

Agree.

If they REALLY REALLY wanted to set shit off? They would make the new trilogy rated R. Have light sabers ripping through blood and guts.

Look at Deadpool and Wolverine. Highest grossing rated R movie ever.

Because the fans of Star Wars are old people who grow up with it. Children don't give a shit about Star Wars. It's grow adults that do.

Now I type all that knowing damn well there is ZERO chance they make a rate-R Star Wars trilogy. But if they did? You can bet it would break records and revamp the entire thing.

Frankly, I think it's done. Star Wars is no longer the cool piece of pop culture. You have old farts like myself that don't care about the new shit, and the younger generation seems less inclined towards pop culture like years past( at least theirs takes different forms). The MCU was basically Gen Z's Star Wars and the actual Star Wars has been shit over that period of time, so you've already lost them ( or never had them). I got a 25 year Stepson who doesn't give a single **** about it despite my many efforts to get him into it as a kid.

[j3lademaster]

I don't understand why they keep doing the same tired era when Star Wars has thousands of years of detailed history. Do the old republic era from the Kotor games.

In terms of the cool pop culture? It's been done since the 80s. That is impossible to recapture. Completely impossible. It was created during a time when new SciFi concepts were still being explored. You can't recapture that feeling today. These kids today are flooded with all sorts of choices. Endless crap.

That's why I am saying, the only real way to breath new life into it all is to create a Rated-R trilogy. That would make it something we have yet to witness. Have a vicious evil Sith who is drenched in blood, decapitating people left and right. Make him a Sith version of Jason Voorhees. THAT would open some eyes.

I wouldn't go that far. As divisive as the prequels were they didn't completely kill the fanbase. No, Star Wars has died officially in terms of pop relevance since Disney took over in 2012. You are correct in saying the 'feel of Star Wars isn't something you'll quite be able to capture again, for various reasons,even if Disney didn't completely **** everything up.

Hard disgree. The prequels told a story that we already knew, with some of the worst writing and acting in the history of cinema. They tried to explain the force with science, and had a Jar Jar Binks clown to top it off. They were so bad. Prequels were much worse than the Rey trilogy, and Rogue One is the best movie since the original trilogy. Vader scene in Rogue One was the closest I felt to recapturing that original feeling.

The originals introduced us to the concept of the force. They introduced us to light sabers. During a period when the only thing to compete was Star Trek, and the toys were a smash hit because electronics had not taken over yet. It just happened at the perfect time to capture the world's imagination.

Yes, but what I'm saying is, it didn't break the fanbase. The last decade did. I'm not disputing that the Prequels were shit. In fact I'd argue the last truly great Star Wars movie was Empire.

True. It's just completely over saturated now. And yeah, I've lost interest.

Hopefully their new trilogy will win me back, but I'm not holding my breath.
