Sepucher 11/25/21 10:41:05 PM #1:	The sequel trilogy and season 2 of the Mandalorian have shown that Disney is having difficulties moving on and doing its own thing. The series seems stagnant in terms of creativity. Rebooting the series did wonders for the James Bond series, giving the series some of its highest grossing and most critically acclaimed entries it has ever produced. Perhaps this is the jumpstart that Star Wars needs. A fresh start. Do whatever you want. What do you think? --- The Living's in the way we die <cite>Sepucher posted [p:960356302] in Do you thi...

FortuneCookie 11/25/21 10:45:40 PM #3:	Yes. When you've fucked up as spectacularly as they have, there's no moving on. They're much better off to hit the reset button. Make Han a Black man and Luke a woman. Redesign Palpatine to look like Trump. But put some fucking effort into it. Star Wars was not only imaginative, it was well-paced. It's stories reached logical conclusions. It's characters were memorable and fun. Above all else, they should remember that Star Wars is a fantasy story with a science fiction paintjob. Just having a bunch of people in helmets shooting lasers is missing the point. Star Wars's nearest comparison isn't Star Trek; it's Lord of the Rings. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:960356410] in Do you thi... [t:79779910]...</cite> <quote>Yes.

The Catgirl Fondler 11/25/21 10:52:37 PM #8:	Eh, could just as easily start setting stuff in the large expanse of thousands of years before Episode 1. It's so far removed from the movies they could do anything and it wouldn't clash or cause inconsistencies. Or just do more "what-if" multiverse stuff like they did with Marvel maybe. As much as I don't like the Star Wars movies (not even the original trilogy anymore), there's no reason to dumpster them and start over yet. --- IDD <cite>The Catgirl Fondler posted [p:960356566] in Do you thi...

Blightzkrieg 11/25/21 11:17:27 PM #14:	They're never going to grow the fanbase if they keep making films that are tied to the bagged of the original series. Make a film set 1000 years apart or something and sell it on its own merits. It's not like the MCU's primary audience is comic nerds.
