Are we supposed to feel sorry for Iger being under-pressure to serve up what "Disney" thinks Star Wars is all about: regurgitation?

I guess all those fans that hated the prequels are kicking themselves now , Haha. At least those built on the lore this crap that disney is making is a cheap knock off that attempts to hook u with cheap nostalgia instead of genuine story and plot development. I knew we were screwed when those arrogant ***** said they would not adapt any of the books, comics or game, instead they were going to craft a new story, which in reality ment they would redo the original trilogy and make up some story in part 2 that had nothing to do with the first batch movie.
It's too late to save this trilogy they are not following a story rather its simply a reaction movie to undo all that came in the previous version.
What a farce. I hope this **** bombs at the box office.

I’m so confused about my Star Wars fan status. I have galactic dysphoria.
As one such fan, no, not kicking myself.
Those films have a more legitimate reason for existing because the story they told was different from the originals and led into the originals but it doesn't change my opinion of them - that they're terrible.
The ST serves no purpose.

I can’t think of a compelling reason to go see 9. They’re down to Billy Dee, deleted Leia, and Nubacca.
Disney was so concerned with having SW "return to OT form" they could have just led off with RO (which started filming four months before TFA was released) and then followed with George's ST. I'm sure someone out there (Denis Villeneuve perhaps who was very vocal about wanting to direct SW) could have made George's crazy microbiotic Saga into something sweet.

Your idea doesn?t sound too crazy although TFA was definitely a huge win and probably made Lucas think that just maybe he was wrong and Iger was right.
I mean I get why Disney ran as fast as they could away from midichlorians.
I am super curious now though just to learn why Iger decided to reveal this now so close to Mandalorian and TROS especially with Lucas supposedly being on board with IX story and his involvement directing a scene.
This whole thing just blew my mind that is some crazy candor from Iger.
He?s in good company Lucas and Spielberg killed Indy and Nolan killed his Batman trilogy lol
I honestly think had Star Wars land been soley OT focused it wouldn?t have failed.

Kevin Feige's new memoir just revealed that Stan Lee's dying wish was that BW and IM never appear on screen again, lol.
Yeah what the hell were they thinking there. Even if they didn't want to go full OT they could have at least done it like their awesome SW Weekends where all eras are represented.

Kathy Kennedy’s memoir, “Rian Johnson often misses a lot of leaves in my pool.”

Well, it was pretty clear from the get-go that Lucas wasn't happy with TFA, there were a few interviews where he expressed his disappointment.
But yeah, it's surprising that Iger comes out with his memoirs laying all that out right now.
There's a lesson to be learned here for Disney. Taking what was probably the most beloved and important pop culture phenomenon of the XX century, a cultural juggernaut that changed movies and toys, and the business around them, and making it this divisive and fractured... Wow.
I think the repercussions of TLJ have not really been felt yet, but they must be huge inside the company.
Anyway, bring on Ep. IX! I want to see how it all ends. Not with fandom-induced giddiness, but with calm curiosity.

I don't even have that. They could pull a Cameron and keep delaying by a year for the next 10 years and I'd be
and yet you keep posting in this thread a-dev. Downtime at work, something to do, it's one of the only active threads in this place etc etc
