There might be a couple of extra parsecs between future Star Wars films.

Disney CEO Bob Iger has confirmed there will be a 'slowdown' of its Star Wars output, following disappointing returns on the Solo standalone.

'I made the timing decision, and as I look back, I think the mistake that I made — I take the blame — was a little too much, too fast,' he admitted to The Hollywood Reporter.

How about an origin story for Jar Jar Binks?

About how Jar Jar as a young dweep tried to feel up
a female dweep.

Meesa lika you boobies yassir!

Now as candidate for Galactic emperor, his reign is being put into question for something that happened 26 parsecs ago?

Yeah, that story.

Mark Hamill, not a conservative by any stretch.

HE DID NOT LIKE WHAT THEY DID WITH SW7 AND SW8.

THEY DIDNT LISTEN TO HIM EITHER. REALLY HATED 8. WAS VOCAL ABOUT IT, REPEATEDLY.

I mean you know its bad if Mark is very unhappy about what they did. To the characters, to the overall storyline.

Ewoks is where the decline of Star Wars began. Fuching jungle teddy bears. Then the prequels hastened the demise with the most montonic acting ever recorded on camera, plus Jar Jar sealing the deal. 7,8 and 9 seek to kill the franchise with giving the finger to white men, either killing off or they are all evil, bringing in social justice warrior mary sue and her gynological brigade...

Disney should let someone adopt Star Wars who is actually interested in pursuing the themes of the original motion picture.

And NOT Lucas.

Huh? Black Panther and Infinity War were SMASH hits. Because uberfeminazi Kathleen Kennedy hasn't ruined the MCU. Ridiculous how they are circling the wagons to protect that male-hating bitch.

The fat black woman in blue stripes is the hidden villain. She is the HEAD WRITER, and her first act was the FIRE EVERY MAN on staff and replace them with women. SHE is the one who re-wrote the source material to make Rey the hero, emasculate the male Rebel characters, and "democratize" the Force by removing the Skywalkers, Miticlorians, etc. She is a HUGE Bernie supporter ans Socialist, so not surprising she wanted to "spread the Force around."

The WORST part was all the potential they pissed away.

I could think of hundreds of better storylines even if I had to be stuck with TFA to start with. Make Ben a Light side Sith at the end. Have Rey fall and Ben has to ally with his family to redeem her. Put the bad guys in a civil war with each other. TELL SOME BACKSTORY.

But what we got was this... this THING. Not even Jar Jar was this bad. At least he didn’t invade the whole plot!

You mean Darth Binks? He’s going to be the scariest SW villain ever once Episode IX From Outer Space is released.

They really are playing that up in the next episode with Leia feared and hated throughout the criminal underworld as the great Huttslayer. That phrase alone is the best thing that’s arisen in Disney Star Wars.
