I guess maybe there was more to it than I'm aware of though.

It wasn't just the Fett, it was the systematic theft of $200k worth of items over a number of months after IJ ingratiated himself with Sansweet.

"A long time ago in a galaxy far far away" meets modern day superheroes here? Or are we talking ancient heroes? Am I the only one that thinks a Star Wars / Marvel crossover is a very bad idea?

AVP
21 Jump Street/MIB
Disney/Lucasfilm

Why not just throw in LOTR, Toy Story, and Fast & the Furious too? "Luke Skywalker, meet Hot Toys Luke Skywalker."

Need I go on?

there will be time travel involved of course

Rey is so amazing she can LITERALLY BEND TIME..... so she, poe and Finn and Tico will end up in New york and meet the avengers.
Rey will find a way to make the Falcon to travel in time of course. so then anything can be done

That Campea Video is funny. He’s like “I love everything Kathleen Kennedy is doing. Love all the movies under her management but she has to step down because so many others are unhappy with what she’s done.” He’s too afraid to not like anything. What a shill!

thats why it is kind of amazing. the fact that hes saying that means enough people in his circles are hating on Kennedy. he wouldn't do this video unless something happened. unless he heard enough backlash.

He loves everything though.

He said he loves the DCEU movies and watched JL 6 x but they must end lol

They’re all just silly film pundits.

7.5 billion people in the world and he has 100k subs and Grace has 700k lol

First of all: that was a great read. Thank you for posting the food for thought. There's one point you make (and plenty of other people have made it too) that I look at very differently. It's your point about Rian Johnson being stuck having to come up with a reason for Abrams having Luke just "sitting on his ***." Wouldn't any alternative to Luke sitting on his *** have been problematic when you need to establish a sustained new villain/threat for three sequels?

Here's what I mean. A lot of people seem to want it both ways: they want 1.) a Luke who is the greatest Jedi ever (the Chosen One, if you will), and 2.) a Luke who would never go into exile. I get that; a part of me wants that too. But then, how could you build a credible antagonist for a sequel trilogy if Luke is still the all-powerful Jedi master who'd be there to take on any emerging Dark Side threat?

Luke, the guy who defeated the legendary Vader (when Luke was still a Jedi knight), would now have become even more powerful/knowledgeable (and rise to Jedi master). How would the "bad guys" gain enough of a foothold to pose a dramatic and credible sequel antagonist in a galaxy that had an active ***-kicking legend like Jedi Master Luke Skywalker? Shouldn't a more evolved (more knowledge and ability) Luke be able to thwart any post-Palpatine threat (like Snoke and the rising First Order) before it gets powerful enough to last three movies?

Moving the uber-powered Luke chess piece off the board seems to me like a sensible (maybe even necessary) device for clearing the way to a new Emperor/Vader level of threat. What's better: Luke being out-dueled by Snoke and Kylo in actual combat/strategy/Force use (which would likely have to be the case to make sense with their rise to power if Luke isn't sitting it out)? Or, a devastated Luke off the board because he doesn't want to be responsible for empowering anymore new Vaders? Can't really win either way, so what's the lesser of two evils here?

Would an older Luke be preferable for all of us if he was a badass who never lost the unshakable optimism and fight that he had in the OT? Absolutely. But, Abrams had to figure out a way to come up with a Vader/Emperor type of antagonist in a landscape that contained a more powerful version of Luke than the one who was destroying a Death Star, defeating Darth Vader, and standing tall as both of the last two Sith lords had been vanquished. In the lead-up to the ST, Abrams had to either sit Luke on his ***, or have it kicked. I prefer the former option, even if I don't like either one. Without choosing one, though, I don't think the rise to prominence of the new evil power would have been fully credible.

Maybe I'm just missing a better way to go about creating drama while keeping Luke the Legend in the fight the whole time. I don't know. Either way, thank you again for a great thought-provoking read.

Thanks for the respectful reply. My idea to keep Luke around as the super badass Master Jedi that doesn't have to make mince meat out of every threat was to say he was like MCU's Odin overseeing the new Jedi Order from on high with too many responsibilities to just drop them and fight everyone else's battles. If a "Thanos" (or Snoke if you will) came along then sure he'd be forced to act which is why I wish that TFA didn't just lead off with another Galaxy-threatening Empire 2.0.

We could have been introduced to Rey, Finn, Poe, etc., as they dealt with more localized threats (like what we just saw in Solo) before things escalated into Galaxy-wide conflicts many films in and *then* Luke could have shown up to help save the day. In some ways this new SW has followed the MCU approach (big team films offset by individual character films) and in some ways I'm sad to agree that they've emulated the DCEU (rushed too quickly to bring everyone together.) Which is also ironic since in their rush to get the Big Three back together they still failed to actually have all three actually meet.

I'm not going to lament "woulda, shoulda, coulda" on these new films because they've still been entertaining and obviously if they'd held off on Leia's involvement then Carrie would have never lasted long enough to make an appearance but still, that's how I would have been inclined to do things had I been in charge. But since the current mindset by the powers that be has given me RO and Solo it's hard to quibble about the other stuff.

Asking for equality rights..yet refuse to take responsibility like a man and playing viction role and blame others.

Looking good queen "Kathy"

She asked for equal rights? Wow, imagine, a female human having the same rights as a male human, dark times!

I don't know, I know a lot of men who can't seem to take responsibility either.

You sound kinda like an incel saying stuff like that.
