We need to go back to beating up nerds and taking their lunch money

Jessica Jones was hunting down an abusive ex. Daredevil was trying to topple a crime syndicate while hiding who he is. Luke Cage was looking to clean up Harlem and dealing with being a black ex-con. Sure...they all involve superheros fighting bad guys, but the characters and plot points for each were very different. One was about being manipulated by people you love. Another was about black crime. Another was about sacrifices for justice.

I don't think Disney has the stones to make a Star Wars flick not connected to established events and characters. They want fan-service to create "member movies."

They’re going to have to at some point. The Skywalker market is just about tapped out.

Which is why Episode IX will be the final installment in the Skywalker saga, according to Lucasfilm.

Does anybody have any behind the scenes knowledge / rumors of the Battle Escape attraction?

Last week I looked through a knothole in the Critter Country fence and saw this going on
Figured it was normal and walked back upstairs to order lunch at Hungry Bear.

For what it's worth, I hope the "3D" in this ride is more like the hallway/mirror scene at ToT and a lot less like the 4k tv's in M:B.

I know you're just trolling, but by the very fact that you're posting on a Disney fan board, you're a nerd.....

Here’s the thing: Star Wars was the ultimate MOVIE movie, a celebration not just of adventure, but of cinematic adventure. It’s there from the opening crawl, to the hissable villains, to the Errol Flynn swing in the Death Star, to the grand medal ceremony. The original two sequels added depth and repeated the refrains, but they simply expanded the canvas of what was more or less a complete artistic statement.
Everything that has come after has tried to be the same thing whilst harboring ulterior motives, either personal (Lucas’s prequels) or corporate (the Disney films) with varying degrees of success.
It’s true that the galaxy is vast and holds endless possibilities for stories, but they can’t ALL be another variation on the same themes, at least not without a few years separating them.
The idea of anthology stories, spinoffs, and new genres in SW is perfect for your streaming service at home. Stories that don’t aspire to be the “ultimate” movie adventure (ie, like Star Wars) can still be in the universe. But don’t expect them to be in the same league.

Hate to break it to you dude, but you're on a Disneyland forum...

The all start by introducing the character and then the bad guy. Eventually the good guy and bad guy meet and have a sparing match to feel each other out. Then the good guy tries to figure out how to beat the bad guy. Finally they meet again and the good guy wins. No substories. No one offs. It's a formula.

They are screwed either way. They tried simi-safe and got blasted. They are never going to go totally new and original. It's sad.

You basically described most stories. We are introduced to our protagonist. We meet our antagonist. They go up against each other and the protagonist loses the conflict. The protagonist tries different tactics to eventually try and achieve their goal and overcome the antagonist in the climax.
There's substories. Daredevil and Luke Cage had multiple big bads. The style and themes were different enough. I mean, they are all gritty Marvel shows set in New York. Are they the greatest television ever? Nope. But they are different enough where people like certain ones and dislike others.

I have a feeling they'll use the streaming service to explore totally new aspects of the SW Universe.
