Mining the mythos is fine, just keep wokism out. Otherwise I don’t care if you lose $150 million.
That's why it was good.
Star wars was never that great in the first place. If it weren’t for Marcia Lukas having reediting the movie, the British version was a humor film Grade B. She turned it into what it was, and it was a terrible movie. So much was missing and she had a hard time getting any continuity.
That’s why I root for The Empire.
I disagree. I thought it was the best Star Wars film. Even better than the original trilogy. Mark Hamill was not a good actor although everyone liked Harrison Ford, obviously.
I agree. I think George Lucas had a good imagination, and he came up with a broad canvas that was suitable for many stories. But he was a terrible writer (the dialogue in his movies is painful) and he was a terrible director (the acting in his movies is awful). And he allowed others to totally debauch his source material. He made a ton of money. Good for him. But, as an artist, he has always been really, really bad.
Originally Star Wars main audience was nerdy boys and young men. That is who bought the Lego sets and other merchandise. Disney is producing products that cater to women and transexuals and turning off their core audience. I don’t think a software game with a female lead will be successful.
I don’t understand the pig headiness of converting what boys like to girl preferences. You don’t see them coming out with a male version of Little Women or male version of Barbie in the suburbs. Most young men think Star Wars is deader than a leisure suit.
Put a chick in it and made her a GUY! WE’II MAKE MILLION!!!
IMHO The Force Awakens was about the same level or lower than the prequels. Certainly not better like this writer feels. The next one The Last Jedi killed the franchise for me and a legion of other fans. I know I wasn’t alone. Since then I haven’t watched anything new out of the Star Wars franchise. I loved it before Lucas sold it to Disney and in retrospect The Force Awakens is now something I’m trying to forget along with The Last Jedi.
Beyond Star Wars I also stopped going to movies in general and watching network tv about the same time. Good bad or indifferent it’s all over for me. Big entertainment isn’t getting any of my dollars anymore.
Movie history was made with the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special when the producers openly mocked and spit in the face of Star Wars fans.
It may be the most cringe-worthy movie to ever hit the screen.

Isn’t that Han Solo’s backstory?

Totally agree!
It’s a video game. Why did they force everyone to play one female character? Couldn’t they allow the gamers to choose their own avatar, their attire, and their screen name?
I don’t know how successful this will be… like I said above this sounds like Han Solo’s storyline (a slickster who smuggles and owes money to the syndicate) but for some reason they are forcing a different character in the same slot and forcing players to be her. It would’ve been better if they let people choose their own avatars.
The Empire lost because of that stupid Death Star. And then, they did it again!
