Star Wars Saga (OT/PT/ST) Discussion Thread

[Felinx]

Do you know any boomers that are huge SW fans? If you do they are the rare exceptions, New SW is kid centric , as was the OT. It was never ment to last with that age group. The PT was (and still is) an abomination to me because I was an adult when I saw it. So it really has not lasting impact on me besides more SW content. Same as the DSW universe , more content , much of it is not lasting to me. Entertaining , but it can never capture us the way OT did when we were kids.

Biggest of them all - Steve Sansweet.

Not to mention Fran Tarkenton from NFL/"That's Incredible" and pop heartthrob Rick Springfield.

All in their mid 70s to mid 80s.

Similar tonal shift that occurred with Indy.

Changes culturally and movie-wise from late 1970s to late 1980s, also what was going on personally for Spielberg/Lucas (divorces, kids, ageing, etc.)

You could say that about Bond as well, which had gotten silly long before Star Wars and Raiders. I think its the nature of milking a franchise -- eventually it all becomes a wink and a nod -- a joke. The filmmakers lean into the humor.

Mad Max (Mel) became silly... Die Hard became silly... Lethal Weapon became silly... Alien, Terminator, Predator... all silly.

Exactly. They need to just stop "announcing" projects altogether. Wake me up when something is actually filmed and has an assigned release date.
