I guess they made all of the money they can, and now they will turn the franchise into a virtue signaling vehicle.

Aside from those going the first weekend, no one will go based on the sex and color of the people producing the product.

These morons are destroying a fun industry so they can worship at the altar of the Cultural Revolution. I liked it better when they worshiped money.

Star Wars needs to stop taking itself so seriously and return to its roots as a western, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, comedy set in space, just like the first one.

Go with what works: that old Hollywood standard of unambiguous masculine and feminine characters battling against bare-assed evil, with some witty dialogue, a few well-written plot twists, friendly camaraderie, falling in love, taking some losses and, of course, ultimately with the good guys winning the day.

Go back to telling a good story, but something new this time, instead of remaking a past hit in a woke new way or giving us the same old rehashed characters, but now reborn in some new dimension or alternate reality or time.

We’ve had more than enough of that already, thank you not so very much.

I thought George Lucas said that the Viet Cong was the inspiration for the "rebels" in the first Star Wars movie.

Yes, I thought she was very pretty and had a lot of charisma, as well as seeming nice.

Kind of sick of Star Wars, so glad to see Shahid is finally putting an end to it.

No kidding … I didn’t know that.

To me, it’s always been more spiritual in a lot of ways, so I was thinking there was more of a biblical, Old and New Testament kind of inspiration for the story, including Jewish prophets in the guise of the Jedi, with similar mystical powers thrown in just to make it more interesting.

But from what you said, I was not even close with my guess!

And now that I do know what you said, I’m not sure what to do with it now that I do know it.

Hmmmm … I like my version better, but if I’m wrong, I’m wrong. Oh well ….
