That would be a fair assessment, but AOTC didn't destroy merchandise profits as TLJ has. TPM was so bad that it was the beginning of the end. TLJ was the final nail in the coffin. TROS was a failed attempt at necromancy.

Ha ha, in more ways than one, huh. ;)

It's so interesting how the stories and characters of TFA and TROS both parallel the actual mindset of creating those films. TFA was all about Kylo trying to copy Vader and fearing that he wouldn't live up to his grandfather's legacy (like Abrams both copying and fearing the standard of the OT) with TROS trying to bring back both Palpatine, and the ST, from the dead. And then who knows what they were thinking with TLJ. Burn it all down I guess, lol.
 
I love your parallels between the plots and JJ's vision.

Burn it all down I guess, lol.

That should be Lucasfilm's mission statement. Can't wait to see what Kennedy does to Indiana Jones.

Kennedy's new character to take over the franchise - "I am a strong independent white woman Rey Jones and I am ALL THE ARCHEOLOGISTS!"
 
I assume you're referring to 2002 when AOTC was outgrossed by Spider-Man, Harry Potter and The Two Towers?

And yet the force awakens had tremendous hype and outgrossed avatar domestic. The franchise was fine.
 
Repels the power of the Ark, kills God, lol.
Khev's obvious talent has been noticed. JYE can we get Khev put into this shot to make it official?

Anyone else still not see this movie?

Have to say, quite proud I didn?t give this **** a dime.
 
RO is not in tone with OT's pure good vs evil thing but Mando is? People shout at pure good vs evil movies nowadays, look at ST.
 
I haven't seen it yet.

Maybe when it's on Disney+, but most likely not. Why watch a movie that's gonna do nothing but piss me off. Took too long to get past TLJ.

Wish I had waited. They handled Leia well, no doubt. Actors do a good job as expected. Aside from that, it's uninspired. Emperor alive with a secret fleet of 500 plus ships feels like such a cop-out for the story.


How has Kathleen Kennedy not be removed as head of Lucasfilm?
