Boba Fett: A Star Wars Story

The OT are the first films I saw. I remember the special editions when they came out in 1997. Everyone was cheering and had a great time. The same held true when I saw the prequels, and it continued in the current era. The general public, by and large, has accepted these films with open arms and see the greatness within that transcends every flaw. Flaws that were inherent even in the original trilogy, when your precious Kurtz was running the show. In fact, many tasks were delegated during the prequel era, and there was Carrie Fisher's uncredited script doctoring. The stories, the characters and the cast of those films are great. The only improvement those films needed were Kasdan polishing the dialogue to be as close to perfect as possible.

The "George Lucas raped our childhood" narrative was not the one that was prevalent at the time. It came later, through gaslighting and whiny, butthurt fanboys who cling to an outdated image as holy scripture and any deviation as heresy, and a compliant, lazy press willing to lap it up for big ratings. When Lucas, Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson made their statements that are claimed to be "distancing themselves from the fans", what they were actually saying was that the series wasn't dependent on and shouldn't cater to toxic gatekeepers, the ones who are so wrapped up in the OT and EU as the only word, determining who is and who isn't a real fan, who are susceptible to being swayed by the even worse and more malicious trolls who threaten to kill anyone involved in the films and throw childish temper tantrums over YouTube. If you cater only to these people, the films have no chance of real success. You have to get as wide an audience as possible and be willing to adapt to the times without losing sight of what made Star Wars what it is. This, Disney has done very admirably, but if they ever cave to these mouthbreathers and act like their picture is the truth, doing the same harmful "course corrections" the DCEU has done, then the picture they paint will ironically become true.

Or, the new movies just Suck. Which they do.

Actually, I am discussing. I just happen to be blunt about it and am willing to call a spade a spade.

Except you’re not “correct”...you have an opinion - which is fine. But it cannot be validated. Others have opinions as well.

But Talking their concern for continuity and trying to psycho analyze the descent is pointless incorrect...you can think that - but if you use millenials internet muscles it makes you no moreso correct.

I totally agree. But in my opinion they did loose sight of what made star wars in ep8. I'm not a last jedi hater, but there is a lot wrong with that movie as a saga film. The force awakens was a good start. But it's blatantly obvious to me that Rian just wanted to do his own thing for 8. The sequel trilogy is a wasted opportunity in my eyes for a lot of reasons. The biggest reason is the total lack of a singular vision for the franchise.

Well I don't hate the movie, I just don't think it's the way the saga films should have gone. I don't know, I see a difference between the two but we shall wait for the call from upstairs. Lol ;)
