Those Reylo "shippers" just won't let up!

Spaceballs had more character development than the ST

She knows the story of ONE movie… I hope to god that doesn’t mean they don’t go into making a new trilogy without some sort of plan again…

Nothing Disney has made has been good. The Force AWOKEN wad bad. It got a pass because it was the first of Disney's agenda and this was before the split between mainstream and YouTube critics.

lol yea seems like they are fully committed to making another rey movie. Good freaking luck lol. Disney truly needs to take a big step back for a moment.

I actually like the Rey Character. Shes a typical hero in most senses, but I really liked TFA, and thought they were headed in a good direction with her in TFA, I had no issues with Luke and Her in that film.....most of the rest was trash,

But they literally wasted Finn and Reys arcs for typical stuff in the end.

So a Rey movie? Yeah sure, bring it on...lets see some new story with a character we are at least familiar with .

The kids really love Rey also, so giving them a SW film abiut her for that generation makes sense.

Its kinds wild to watch the young kids flock to Rey at Galaxys Edge.

She more popular than Mando or Fett with them.

But, Kylo draws the most followers by a long shot in those parks.

If that's true then it goes to show that the ST will have its fans in years to come and it's why Disney won't simply de-canonize it as OT and PT fans wish they would.

Against my better judgment I posted a response to a youtube video complaining that PT haters, including the likes of RedLetterMedia, had ruined Star Wars by influencing Disney to make the films that they did. While it's partially true that Disney were responding in some aspects to what people didn't like about the PT, there's a naivety amongst those who are fans of the PT but who hate the ST - this idea that the older fans were wrong about the prequels whilst only they, the PT fans, have access to the objective truth of the matter - that it was the ST that universally sucked and will for all time be considered ***t. Nope. Because guess what. I, as a PT hater, once assumed the same of the PT. I was proven quite wrong. People today love those films. Assuming Star Wars remains in the public consciousness, and I expect it will, then the ST will also be loved one day. I won't understand it, PT fans won't understand it. But.....

edit - oh and what response did I get in the comments section of that youtube video? Mindless accusations of being a basement dweller and so on. Apparently that's what anyone who doesn't enjoy the PT is.

There are going to be lawsuits.

OK, so you can't sue someone for making a single bad Star Wars movie. However, you can sue institutional large scale investors for breaching their fiduciary duty to their shareholders ( lots of times, we are talking public pension money) when they intentionally pursued ESG mandates when making investment/financing decisions in film and television.

There is NOTHING about ESG mandates that have proven to make a profit across the industry. For smaller level pundits and influencers, the answer is Yes, it can be a goldmine for some people. One could argue it has become a legitimate career path now in many industries ( particularly the education sector)

Lawsuits will create discovery, which will end up raising light to big movie studios and institutional level investors coordinating with the mainstream media, Big Tech and most of the large social media companies to do specific marketing blitzes but also information suppression and shadowbanning. The latter issues now create a problem with those who advertise through those companies. Now that's also a breach of fiduciary duty.

Here's is what many people are talking quietly around the industry but no one is going to say it out loud and no one is going to cover it in the mainstream media. The last four months of 2024 are expected to marred with widespread violence. No one is going to want to go to the movies when there is looting, burning and rioting around them. Not in the larger cities. The film industry is quietly shuffling things to 2025 because the idea of a 2024 Xmas day release isn't so appetizing from a risk vs reward analysis. Depending on the dynamics in play, the violence could extend into the first six months of 2025 as well.

The Sequel Trilogy are not films. They are "product" It was product that the suits knew would lose money. They did it anyway. I don't agree with you in that ST will be looked at fondly. Because the industry needs a "reset" and the ST is a subset of The Big Mouse's problems, which is a subset of what should be future lawsuits that will end up with people getting clipped. You can't lose this much money, this fast, even as a strategy, and not have people get clipped. I'm not talking people being given an empty cardboard box and being escorted to the parking lot by security. I'm talking being driven to an empty cornfield.

History will not be kind to "mass entertainment" we've seen in the last decade or so. What was done was never possible with real longevity. As more working class people can't retire and lose their pensions and/or investments, this kind of stuff will become more and more unsettling to the general public. The long term perception of modern Star Wars will extend beyond just unhappy legacy fans. This was gambling with other people's money.

The film industry, from a financial perspective, cannot survive another major shut down like before. It's clear the institutional large scale investors don't care. Before this gets fixed, if it ever does, there are going to be a lot of busy cornfields.

I think one difference may be that when the prequels came out, there was such a thirst for star wars, and sci fi in general that the hype was off the charts, and the market wasn't saturated with other options. When the force awakens came out we were in a different landscape. Star wars had a consistent presence with cartoons and the prequels weren't so distant in the minds of fans. Plus the entertainment market was very saturated with all kinds of movies, tv shows, etc. doing geek comic and sci fi. People had so many options that they were less likely to cling to the sequels. So, I don't know if those movies are going to breed the large fan base over the long term that the prequels did.

Well said...

I myself have repeated this exact thought several times. But alot of hard headed people cannot understand the the impact a very stupid film to us, can have on a young non cynical mind....

I absolutely LOATH the PT. I find about 45 minutes of the entire trilogy watchable, the rest is horrible horrible pulp. Yet, here we are. with the PT making a strong showing in recent titles and aome folks going gaga for it.....Those young PT kids grew up to be older PT fans....no surprise.

What surprised me is how people cannot see the same thing will happen with the ST. It absolutely will, and like my younger self with the PT, they will not understand it until much much later.

The ST has a fan base, its pretty big, and I would say on par with the PT, which when released seems to be universally hated.
