Good for a laugh, the way they worked the Disney brass's names into the song parody...

Star Trek got PC'd out of existence with multiple movie and TV production companies with different timelines.

Star Wars going the same way. Same coming for James Bond.

They’ve already made the franchise non-recoverable.

There’s no need for a Jedi order when some Mary Sue type can just practice swing a light saber a few times and presto! Instant super Jedi warrior. There’s no more dark side, no light side, and ships 20 miles across can be destroyed by any ship with hyperspace capability.

Not really. I suspect I’m too old for this foolishness.

Screenwriting by committee.

Every minority group wants to see their minority represented.

Extend that to every minority subgroup and you have a mess.

They want their minority story line of 'fighting oppression'.

Lando is now bi. We have a 'strong female Jedi role model'.

Do we have a trans character yet? Is there a way to include a Muslim character?

I only looked at this because I thought it was a reference to "Cool Hand Luke", the film.   I just recorded it on the DVR a couple of nights ago.

I have noticed that the closer they are to the books the better the movie. “Dr. No” was very near the original story.

The next few as well.

Eventually they had nothing in common with the books but the name. A good example was the awful “Moonraker”. I can’t understand why as the book was fascinating.

Finally they didn’t even share the title. I do think “Skyfall” was Ian Fleming’s estate on Jamaica tho.

They won’t, it is J J Abrams, one of the best in the business.
