It's 20XX and people are mad online about Star War!

Watched Attack of the Clones and it's better and more cogent than any of the sequel movies. I said what I said.  I liked it.

You can't complain about Mandalorian S2 having video game fetch quests without referencing the literal 2D side-scrolling video game stage smack bang in the middle of AotC.

I sure can complain. Mando s2 is a multi episode tv show. Episode II is a complete movie with a mostly cogent core. No nonsensical Canto Blght quests like TLJ either and unlike the sequel trilogy the characters fall naturally in their place.

Terrible movie though.

Terrible is stretching it I think. It's flawed but enjoyable and more cogent than any of the sequel movies. Finn and Poe are barely characters. Obi Wan, Anakin, Padme as a trio run laps on Rey, Finn, and Poe. Obi Wan's detective story contrasted with Anakin falling to the dark side and killing Tuskan's is good, entertaining shit.

Main criticism is how lazy the filmmaking is. Two camera set up very scene.

Note that because I don't think it's terrible doesn't mean I think it's great or even good. It's just fair, average, and enjoyable.

Watched Revenge of the Sith.

I hadn't seen any of these movies beyond the theatres and honestly it was pretty good experience and I really liked watching them. Revenge of the Sith is one of the best movies in the franchise. Sequel trilogy is leaps and bounds worse than the prequels and it's not even close.

Have to finish Mando s2 which sucks, then I'll start Clone Wars - something I've never seen. Glad to love SW again. I've been itching to replay KOTOR.

I knocked it on the head after the first two terribly dull episodes, glad to see and hear it's only gotten worse.

It's amazing how they've seemingly tanked something that had an easy formula for success.

I, for one, am excited to see how far down Disney can take Star Wars before someone has the sense to fire everyone responsible for killing the golden goose.

[NekoFever]

It's baffling how bad it's been. Especially considering, for all their flaws, Disney's shepherding of the Marvel movies has been pretty good. They all fit together and clearly have a goal in mind.

It's got to be a lack of planning. They started the sequel trilogy with no clue how it was going to go and ended up with three average at best films that barely fit together. Both the spin-off films were radically reworked in production. Mando was a breath of fresh air at first but seasons 2 and 3 (and BOBF) have been aimless crap. Andor was admittedly great but so was the first season of The Mandalorian so IDK.

Think back to when Disney bought Lucasfilm and announced a sequel trilogy and spin-off films between numbered instalments, and I couldn't see how they could fail.

[Pissy F Benny]

I still enjoyed Mando szn 2 for what it was and didn't hate Bob a Fett (after it turned into the Mandolorian series 2.5 anyway).

[Uncle]

it's weird because I feel like the types of stories I see in the above clips are fine and a decent way to expand the star wars universe beyond force users and lightsabers and evil empire

as noticed by richard evans long ago now, star wars is very small, and there are ways to expand it, hell george lucas did a decent job making the universe bigger in the prequels, one of the few things they did right

I'm ok with two different alien species falling in love and a conflict arising due to that

but the problem with the above clips is it's written so shittily and shot like an SNL skit and overall just embarrassing to look at

is star wars doomed to be cringey when it expands, but boring when it sticks to already-covered ground?

I guess what was shown above would be fine if they were episodes of the cartoon show instead, make it explicit that it's for kids

[Nintex]

I think the Star Wars magic has simply run out. It's just no longer unique in a variety of super hero, sci-fi and cinematic universes.

All they can do is make content^TM in the same family friendly milquetoast Disney style with a different coat of paint.
With the Mandalorian they had an interesting angle but they milked that dry already.

There's just nothing at this stage that sets is apart, no innovative filming, practical effects or storytelling techniques like the original Star Wars trilogy, no groundbreaking CG animation like they had in the prequels.
Star Wars pre-Disney was always about pushing new things. 

[Pissy F Benny]

George Lucas is only 78, throw all the money at him again for a new trilogy before it's too late

[Nintex]

Things that other films brought to the table that could've been Star Wars innovations:
- '2 perspectives' from The Last Duel (a movie showing the events from the perspective of both a Sith(Kylo Ren) and Jedi(Rey) leaving the audience to decide if they side with the dark side or the Jedi)
- a 'single take' like 1917 (we follow a hero character throughout a massive battle that seamlessly translates between the planet surface and space dogfights in the 'single take' format)
- Choose your own adventure like Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (during the film you can decide how the story plays out by making 'Mass Effect' like morality choices (will you end up as a Renegade Sith or as a Paragon Jedi?)

[Uncle]

"if Rey should join Kylo, please proceed to theater #4 down the hall to your right where your Choose-A-Film™ will resume shortly"

Mandalorian just needed to be a space western with monster of the week episodes interspersed between an overarching story arc focusing on Mando bringing down the big bad Moff Gideon who is trying to regather and revive the remnants of the Empire in the outer run, far from the New Republic's influence.

They could still have the Mandalore stuff, but just make it a character focused western/samurai gunslinger style show.

Pulp shit like it was supposed to be.

[Pissy F Benny]

Pretty much. hasnt the Mando been cucked by Dana Walsh from 24 now anyway, might as well out a bullet in it if it's gone down the on the nose woke hack path.

Star Wars announces three new films on the way, with Daisy Ridley to return as Rey

Lucasfilm has announced three new live-action films, and confirmed the return of Ridley’s Rey to build ‘a new Jedi Order’

They learned nothing...

[NekoFever]

Somehow Rey returned

[Nintex]

The two new films will be overseen by the James Mangold, the director of Logan, and Dave Filoni, the co-creator of The Mandalorian TV series and director of the 2008 computer animated feature Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Kennedy said that Mangold’s movie will “tell the tale of the first Jedi to wield the Force and harness it as a liberating power in an era of chaos and oppression”, while Filoni’s film is about “the escalating war between the Imperial Remnant and the fledgling New Republic” and will “close out the interconnected stories told in The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and other Disney+ series”.

The third film to be announced, a project to be directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, has been known about for some time, but appears to have been dogged by changes of direction and staff departures. Obaid-Chinoy’s film will take place 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker and feature Daisy Ridley returning in the role of Rey; it will “tell the story of rebuilding the New Jedi Order and the powers that rise to tear it down”. Lucasfilm recently announced that Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight had replaced Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson as writers on that film.

[Pissy F Benny]

I bet 2 of those end up getting shit canned. I'm guessing the origins,one males it due to a lack of baggage, the Mando crossover thing will probably about end up being retooled as a Disney plus thing, and lolwho wants to see a Rey film she fucking sux and no one who isn't a hard Disney dickrider thinks otherwise.

[Potato]

Catching up on last two mandalorians episodes and holy shit that e6 intro!!!

Edit: OMFG, it does get worse. It's Reeeeesetera paradise with Jack Black

Look, Vader was his dad. Discount Vader was the son of the dude who stole his girlfriend.

Ahsoka Star Wars the Star War is out and boy! is Sabine Wren wacky!

She doesn't go to the speech like she's 'sposed to! She just rides her speeder bike and almost kills herself and a pilot who tries to stop her.

And she's not 'sposed to take the mcguffin off the ship! But there she goes, taking it off the ship.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Survives stab wound because of course lightsabers aren't lethal.

First two episodes should be titled Ahsoka's Pal Sabine Doesn't Listen.
