They can put together some sort of “remake’ but it will never be seen because they don’t own the rights to produce it.
It was a big clue. I did not go.
That has been my shorthand for a long while:
Left Score > Right Score = PC/SJW Propaganda.
Left Score < Right Score = Possible Entertainment.
The only good thing I can say about TLJ is that it at least didn’t completely rehash The Empire Strikes Back, unlike TFA regarding A New Hope. Otherwise, it was pretty much a stinker overall due to being more overtly political than even the prequel trilogy, not to mention outright breaking story elements.
As it is, remaking it is going to be impossible after Carrie Fisher died during production, so sad to say, I don’t think we CAN do it.
And yeah, it’s getting irritating that they are attacking the fanbase. Seriously, as much as I really hated that game for how it needlessly ruined Samus and Adam, the guys who did Metroid: Other M had far more class than the current guys at Lucasfilm. When that game proved to be a sales disaster for the Metroid franchise, they didn’t insult the fans by accusing them of being “fearful of women” or anything like that. Far from it, they went out and asked in person why they didn’t buy it and what they found bad about it. Besides, a good rule of thumb regarding making products for people and selling them is to never, EVER insult your customers. That’s actually a fireable offense at various restaurants. And for good reason: if you insult them, you drive customers away, and with them, any money you and your company might make. Unfortunately, to fix this problem, we need to do far more than just have Paul Kemp, Chuck Wendig, JJ Abrams, Rian Johnston, or even Kathleen Kennedy fired (and believe me, ALL of them had attacked the fanbase). This needs to go straight to the top, we need to get Bob Iger himself fired like his predecessor Michael Eisner. Let’s not forget that he didn’t fire that Jemele Hall lady when she went on that anti-Trump screed on ESPN and claimed she was “an angry black woman” despite her explicitly violating protocol. And he’s had three failures in a row right now: Last Jedi, Solo, and the Wrinkle in Time movie, so that’s another reason he needs to be fired, since he’s getting Disney to lose money.
The latest one-off, SOLO, is the one movie of the new bunch that comes closest to feeling like the original series. Yes, it has an SJW ‘bot in it, but I found it funny in how seriously it takes itself.
Dr. Who is the only one I can think of that hasn’t reached it’s jump-the-shark moment.
You might try seeing SOLO by yourself one afternoon. I expected the worst but was pleasantly surprised.
