I’ve already seen it. Back in the day, he constantly bashed the prequels years after they came out. If he had this platform back when the prequels were coming out, he would have acted much the same as he is now.
Also the only way The Emperor could still show up is if his HATE got imbued on to the crashed death star and he was Sith force ghost trapped in the wrecked death star he died in. That is the ONLY way they could bring him back canonically. Because he is a Sith and abandoned the will of the force for the will of the self. Sith can only become force ghosts if a part of their darkness gets trapped in an object. So being more powerful in life makes them weaker in death. That's why it's really good that Vader became good again before he died or he would have became nothing or be trapped with his hate inside of an object.
@@arthurmorel1943 I don't think that was the reason it was just cheap nostalgia bait. I was really worried with the palpy laugh and I was right to be worried it was a copy paste dumpster fire wasn't it. I'm mad.
True, but the animated series would have helped people seeing the prequels. So let us not leave that medium out of things that shouldn't be required before viewing a movie. (btw: read the Thrawn Trilogy and make that your sequel, as lots did 20 years ago.)
You can still understand the movies though. The books are just added detail. The original trilogy doesn’t really explain the state of the galaxy that much either
I agree here for the simple reason not everyone is interested in reading a bunch of books to make them understand the movie. A movie should be able to stand on its own without having to do extra reading. I personally loved the expanded universe pre disney era but I can't say i am enthusiastic about reading any of the books now.
asingh53 but do you really not understand the new movies? They aren’t as detailed on the state of the galaxy as the prequels, but I don’t think it’s much different in detail from the original trilogy.
@@zacharywolff2886 I do understand the movies even if I am not the biggest fan of them. I was more agreeing with the point that it should be completely optional. The original trilogy didn't need that detail at all. I remember having those movies on VHS and watching them at least 3 times a week and I didn't need to read a book to see well oh thats why he did this. However, when I started reading it helped me understand a bit more but it was completely optional in the end. But all in all I will definitely be there opening day to see rise of the skywalker because no matter how bad it may get I will stick with it.
The Jeremy Jahns Star Wars playlist is one of the saddest sagas of progressing disappointment you’ll see. From the trailer reactions to Force Awakens to this video, the difference is night and day. It’s happiness and sadness. If Jeremy Jahns is no longer excited by Star Wars this is truly the darkest timeline
Harrison Ford asked for Han to be killed off, Luke's death was important to the story and he will return as a force ghost in the Rise of Skywalker, and how is Leia being still alive a bad thing?
@@planetdeadwing5895 Because the one character they kept alive now has a dead actress to portray her. And they never had all three characters meet before that happened, which should've been a crucial thing to do.
@@poleythepolarbearandfriend7684 Right, because fuck character development and substance, making him generic space Jesus who shows up and kills all the bad guys like the fans wanted would REALLY be showing him respect...
George Lucas deserved some blame also. George Lucas should of close out his trilogy then sold it. George Lucas sold Star Wars to disney because Bob iger just pulled off a huge deal by purchasing Steve Jobs Pixar and George Lucas felt that Disney had the assets to expand star wars in different mediums. George Lucas had the upper hand but Steve Jobs made more calculated moves than George Lucas did. George Lucas chose KATHLEEN KENNEDY becsuse of friendship and the other reason is they go way back to Steven Spielberg days. George Lucas is a great storyteller but he can at times make cheesy movies like the phantom menace hence its Goku on cloud ☁ Nimbus and Attack of the Clones is another cheesy movie. Now revenge of the Sith is a good movie. The Clone Wars tv 📺 show saved the pre sequels, it made Anakin turning to the dark side more believable Dave Filoni needs to just make a animated series about Luke jedi school and how he became the luke we see in the last jedi. Now Star Wars needs to grow and expand by telling stories outside the Skywalkers. Like deep in the past and far into the future when rey and luke are myths. They should also explore more of the jedi and sith history but they should also explore more light force users who are not jedi and dark side users who are not siths or first orders. Just something new and fresh. Star Wars ia big galaxy and it should feel like one and its very diverse in genre because its a fantasy,sci-fi,western, and a mythological tale. The OT Star Wars had more of the Tv 📺 show Firefly feel and the Original Battle Star Galactica feel with a dash of fairy tale like the wizard of oz and flash Gordon mix together. The Prequels had more of a biblical, lore and Mythological medival feel. Ancient historical feel. Star Wars have to explore the past, lore of the jedi and sith and explore the deep future when the sequels are myths. And have great sory telling
"You were the Chosen one, Disney! You were to improve the outlines, not destroy them. You were suppose to bring balance to Star Wars, not leave it in Darkness!" - George Lucas confronting Disney on Mustafar
I love how Jeremy is in a robe and sippin from a Star Wars mug like he was just lounging around his house thinking of how pissed he is about this stuff and just walked into his recording room and started this video. So awesome 😎👍
I personally didnt think I would get to a mindset where I didnt care that a new stars wars movie was coming out, and that almost anything star wars is just kinda depressing.
I am surprised by myself that I do not care anymore. Even the other star wars movies got uninteresting for me. I dont feel like to watch then so often like before force awakens.
I've loved Star Wars since I was that 6 year old kid watching A New Hope in my uncle's lounge room. Now after what's been done to it I just don't care. And to me that is genuinely heartbreaking.
You see, so many people love to criticize the people who hate on these crappy new movies, but these new movies have robbed us of our joy of what once was the greatest film franchise ever. It’s like they’ve turned us against a good old friend, and that just sucks! When you can ruin something which many have loved for decades for those people who have loved it, you deserve to be hated upon.
Exactly. The outline, script, dialogue, and plot points of the sequels, both jj and Rian versions, play out/perform/feel like fan fiction dreamt from the pure thought "what if this happened". Rather than creating a succinct and strong story with rhyme and reason. They just said "whatever questions arise from our malfeasance, you can't criticise us because then you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing as fans. Just enjoy the damn movie and move on".
@@Hirnlego999 The Prequels had bad dialogue but the story was straightforward, clear and easy to digest. The Prequels was the epitome of so bad its good. Meanwhile the same thing could not be said about the Sequels. Its the kind of bad that's offensive.
@@marcelinauy9037 "story was straightforward, clear and easy to digest" Well, can't agree here. I've read tons of politics but the trade war nonsense puts me to sleep. What the sequels do better is actors with more emotion, and more clear as to who one should root for. Basically I agree with most of Plinkett's points of view.
Mar10 At least those changes were minimal and made with his own characters. Like, Greedo shooting first does matter, but certainly nowhere near as much as Luke willingly attempting to kill a child. George Lucas’ choices aren’t all great, that’s for sure, but that doesn’t change the betrayal he went through in the end
@@guldmattbb473 Luke didn't try to kill Ben Solo though. He saw the suffering, the genocide, and the destruction that Ben would cause and Luke's instincts told him to prevent it all. But the good in him stopped him before he could take action. His lightsaber activated, Luke froze filled with shame and the knowledge that because of his instincts, (instincts similar to when Vader threatened Leia) he had failed not only Ben, but his entire purpose as a Jedi. Ironicly, that moment was the event that semented Ben's turn.
Gavin Hamilton That still was a drastic change to Luke’s character nonetheless, at least in comparison to Greedo shooting first. It’s not even that specifically that I took issue with personally, it was the fact Luke never even attempts to correct this wrong after the fact. Like, it’s Luke Skywalker, the man who willingly gave himself up to the Empire just to save his supposedly ‘already lost’ father from the dark side. You’re telling me that after causing something so monumentally bad, he’d just cower away and blame the entire Jedi order on it? Luke making an impulsive decision is one thing. Running away like a coward and never trying to fix it for years is one other thing. Hell, he doesn’t even try to reason with Kylo Ren after the fact. He just shows up, taunts Ben Solo for a few minutes, then fucks off with a snarky ‘see ya, kid’. That was his chance to actually be Luke Skywalker. The man who sees the good in even the worst people in the galaxy. The man who saved Anakin. To finally admit his wrongs to Ben and tell him he still has a chance. But no, they couldn’t even give him that.
They should have actually kept him on as a story guy instead of just saying they would. He’s not a good writer or director, but he knows this shit better than anyone and would’ve helped with the transition.
Me too. I know if George would have finished his version of 7,8,9. We would be a much happier fan base. Disney totally destroyed everything about Star Wars. Actually I believe that there is only 6 Star wars movies....the one's that George did. The Disney ones "DO NOT COUNT!!!!!" 🖕off Disney 🖕off
nvrules27 I agree too. I think he could work well as a Kevin Fiege type of producer-overseeing everything and the entire saga will have a clear, one minded, story. I hardly believe Kathleen Kennedy knew what she was doing tbh. George doesn’t have to write scripts because we all know how goofy his dialogue is when it’s unsupervised and he’s not the greatest director.
I can't say I like Mr. Jahns but I feel he is taken on the burden due to others cuz of their popularity. I am referring to those ignorant cynical assholes at Red Letter Media. Anyone see their attempt to make a movie on their own terms titled "Space Cop"? They failed with the easiest, sluttiest lay- their own fan base and all they attempted to do was an attempt of a parody of a parody. That level of incompetence is (and should be to EVERYONE) incomprehensible to me.
Can't Imagine tbh. Feel for him too. I'm sure he is aware of how strong his influence is here on youtube. channel is crazy popular.. Really cool he made this.
zymosan123 quick questions since we're on the topic of politics and Star Wars now...did you watch any of the previous movies before Disney took over? Just who did you think the rebels represented. The rebels were represented by everyone from every species, race and so on and so forth. The Empire was made up of one species. The Jedi were about peace, love and harmony amongst all creatures, the sith were all about power through force, they were about greed, and deception. Jedi WERE SWJs. George Lucus essentially displayed the flaws of the Liberal Philosophy through the Jedi. Hence why they eventually fell and the Sith won, if not Temporarily. It's pretty much cut and dry. So before you go blah blah blah talking point sjws bitch and moaning yada yada You should really come to grips with the reality of the Story George Lucus was telling and how it was meant to parallel our own Universe. It's like it when right over your head
As much as it killed him to sell it, I imagine being hated by people he’s entertained for years probably destroyed him more. People actually had the audacity to say he raped their childhood. By saying that shit do you know what it can do to someone’s mental state? This man took all the hate till he broke. You have people saying he should apologise for his movies. How fucking entitled do you have to be to demand a man apologise for trying to expand a world he created. And now I hear of some of the reasons he sold beside the hate was he was trying to save peoples jobs at Lucasfilm and much more. If I ever met the man, all I could do was say thank you the absolute brilliant world I and million other fell in love with and sorry for all the shit you went through.
Lets say you built this amazing car and then didn't use it for years. You get mad because some people didn't like the wheels you added to it. Then someone buys your car for $4 Billion and you were planning to paint the car purple. You say hey I have this great paint for the car, do you want to add it to the deal since I can't use it now? The guy says sure. Is the guy required to use your paint? No. Did you get your $4 Billion? Yes. Do you have right so tell the guy what color he paints the car, he now owns? No. Can you be disappointed your vision wasn't complete? Yes. No one made you take the $4 Billion. This by the ways is all very old news, is was talking about a lot prior to the release of AFW. Also did you really want a trilogy about the Midichlorians and the Whills? I know I didn't.
@@bobbyvee260 I've loved George Lucas' vision since I first saw A New Hope and would gladly and wholeheartedly take anything he has or had to offer over what Disney has given us. I'll bet that car would have looked amazing in purple - instead, we got hot pink with yellow polka dots and brown squiggles, a bag of googly eyes stuck on in random places all over it, and a dead fish hanging from the mirror.

There’s a difference between a strong female character and someone who never has any adversity, never loses, and has no noticeable flaws and never takes damage.
There's a big reason why people love female characters like Wonder Woman (notice how "sexist males" never appeared with that film), Alita and even Black Widow are loved characters and why people are hyped for WW84 and Black Widow and really want a Alita sequel. Hell go further back and you will find mountains of love for characters like Ellen Ripley, Sarah Conor (T1/T2 version) or even Furiosa from Mad Max. Hey though you hate Rey and Captain Marvel so you're a sexist pig.
@@wallywest4727 no one would have minded about Captain Marvel that much if the lead actress never opened her mouth saying she won't take criticism from white males and tell us what movies aren't meant for us or it would have been just another MCU film some would have enjoyed and others not.

"George Lucas is a visionary, his world building is amazing. His script writing meh.. So you get someone else to write." See the Clone Wars for what thats like. George Lucas' vision executed by better directors and writers.
And the original trilogy. Each of the three movies had a different director, and additional writers to help. And there's nothing wrong with that, there's some writers who just need a hand in properly expressing the story they want to tell on screen, or on whatever medium they work on, the same way most book writers have editors.
The thing is, George Lucas did tried to get help in the Prequel trilogy. The problem was, they all rejected on helping Lucas cause they felt like he should be able to tell the story himself.
@@mikegrady5669 Chris Stuckman shitty "apology" attempt if you want to call it that, was even worse than all his prequel hate and his sucking off red letter media's prequel hate
It's kinda depressing when someone like Jeremy, who was (is?) a superfan of star wars, just sort of giving up on the new trilogy. He doesn't see the new movie as a culmination of anything, just damage control at this point. I felt like he held out longer than most of the fans, but in the end, even he fell to cynicism because of the greed of Disney.
Star Wars means that much to our boy. Star Wars means a lot to many people and Disney Execs decided that our passions must die for profits. I hope the company goes under and LucasFilm ends up being owned by Dave Filoni and gang.
Some of the Actors are good people but it seems like all the Billionaire studio higher ups are just VILE assholes out to fuck over as many crew, actors and creators as possible to make EVEN MORE MONEY!!!!
@@Blynat George Lucas is one of the people that tries to wring as much money out of people as possible as well though. He's the godfather of making tons of overpriced merchandise with his films targeted towards children, he's the one that started trying to extort theaters into getting all the money for the first weeks after release, etc.
Just want to say I was one of them too. I bad talked George. But I respect he tried to evolve the universe with the prequels. And despite me not liking them very much I realize he knew Star Wars better than anyone else
@@wadebishop1413 nope, they are both the same amount of crap, just crap with the inverse problems. In the end the sequels are pristine and polished and utterly hollow and worthless with absolutely no longevity in mind. No soul.
@@seanc9520 i know right, i remember watching his videos talking about the original trilogy and how happy he was to talk about star wars. He seems beaten and battered by disney.
That was nothing. You just said nothing. At least the people who desperately nitpick at TLJ are making actual observations, "care" and "passion" and "special" can mean literally anything. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that what you really mean is "I have nostalgia for the old movies but not for the new movies".
Congratulations Disney. This is the quintessential RUclips reviewer, a man who used to don a Star Wars blanket in response to every trailer. *You have exhausted all of his goodwill.* Congratulations.
@Jimb0 eh, fans were complaining about how Midi-chlorians ruined the Force, how Jar Jar was an Abomination, politics had no place in a SW movie, how Anakin ruined Vader. People said George *raped* their childhood. They even went so far as to demand an apology from him! I mean, the entire reason the Prequels are called Prequels is because the fanbase tore a 6 part saga in half to better pretend 1,2, and 3 didn't exist. I personally like the Prequels, but It was really bad.
To be honest, watching someone take one of the most successful stories and franchises of all time like Star Wars and senselessly destroy it... "I guess some people just like to watch the world burn."
@@unofficial_gamer6813 I mean even if you take the original Battlefront 2004 game, it's got multiple times more offline content on the initial release disc than the new games?! If they had just remade that classic game with 2019 graphics, that would have been a hit. There are videos on RUclips of the Battlefront 3 planned game which got cancelled and hell that concept sounds incredible. The sheer irony is if they produced Lucas' actual scripts which he left them AND made proper stories and games, they'd make more money.
The reason why The Prequels have been “validated through time” is because the fans that grew up with them as kids, are now old enough to speak up for them. Basically give their opinions on it.
Right, exactly. My first Star Wars Experience was Star Wars Clone Wars and after that I watched the movies from 1-6 in order and it was the best movie experience of my life. I love this franchise that's why this pains me😢
The prequels weren't good but they still felt like a Star Wars film. They were what happens when Lucas doesn't have an army of people slapping him on the back of the head for stupid lines/ideas. But compared to the Disney stuff, they are good.
@@drewb2444 we grew up with both you fucking boomer, why would we watch the prequels and not the original trilogy? Not gonna be surprised if you don't know how to reply to my comment.
I'm so glad I finally found someone else that shares my concerns about the fact that the new movies are so empty. Why are we following these people? What are they fighting over? Why are they fighting? What does the galaxy look like? Who runs it? Who was Snoke? What do the first order want? These movies are senseless
Apparently, the New Republic didn't believe that the First Order was a threat, so they didn't build an army (this was APPARENTLY explained in the books). Instead, some people within the Republic built the Resistance, using outdated and stolen tech. And then the New Order completely obliterated the government in The Force Awakens. So now it's a fight over who runs the Galaxy, I guess. But yet, despite the New Republic's absence, the rest of the people seem to be doing pretty okay. So the whole premise is just broken. It's less rebels vs an empire of Roman space Nazis and more two factions having a pissing match over whose lightpenis is the biggest and most powerful.
They threw out George's outline and started making the movies without a plan for the trilogy, hence the confusion and emptiness. For me, the saga ends properly with ROTJ.
Have you really struggled to find people who feels that way about the new trilogy? Its everywhere dude, I struggle to find people who like them apart from die hard fan comment sections
@@isaacholland6587 looking at how Igor literally black listed Finn(who was originally gonna be the main lead) for two white leads makes Lucas look like a prophet
@G Ren I didn't ask for nostalgia, TLJ was boring. I wanted to see why Luke was in hiding. The first scene shows him throw his lightsaber without even asking where he found it (and we still don't even know how it was found) and this movie took place mere minutes after TFA and and was a slow chase scene. Remember Snoke? He was hyped up to be the next Sith master but oh wait, he was only there to die in a comedic way. These series could've been great the way JJ set it up but TLJ ruined all of it in my opinion. I was so invested in TFA and now I don't even care for TRS
@@j9brando87 **Luke throwing away the lightsaber is actually justified:** Jedi are NOT defined by their lightsabers. Why are so many people thinking like the flawed Jedi in the Jedi Order? Remember when Obi-wan in AOTC said "this weapon is your life." to Anakin in the first chapter of the movie? Those were the wrong teachings! A lightsaber is just a tool that only force-sensitives can use to a greater effect than normal people, such as using it to deflect blaster shots. Did anyone notice Luke won his ultimate test as a Jedi in ROTJ as he threw away his lightsaber and refused to kill the mass-murdering monster that is Vader? As for TLJ as a whole, Rian Johnson was taking risks, and yes we definitely need that especially after the risk-averse Jar Jar Abrams's hack job with TFA, but Rian was too lazy to put in the proper work. He wanted to do something grand, but he never did the groundwork to put supports for a bridge so it the whole thing was just shaky, and it boldly leads to somewhere... or nowhere, ultimately. Because Jar Jar Abrams screwed the screw-up with another screw up by averting any chance of risk with TRS, making all that fandom drama worked up over nothing. What a hack. Doesn't even know how to surf on bad publicity. I mean, the underlying story for how Luke changed from the most forgiving person to trying to kill a nephew who hasn't even completely fallen to the Dark side could have been interesting, but we never got a satisfying answer. The greater the risk, the greater the work needed to provide a tight explanation. I mean, as it stands, Luke's change is as drastic as seeing the charitable Anakin turn into the angsty Vader. Going from helping strangers by offering the winnings of his race rather than taking it for his own to a galactic villain took 3 movies (and it is still arguable whether the story of his change was properly told!), but for Luke we get a... spotty flashback? That's the problem with TLJ. Like I said, greater the risk, the more work you need to get it to work. But boy if you pull it off, it will be a lot more dramatic than whatever formulaic corporate pig shit the likes of Jar Jar Abrams loves to roll around in.
@You tube Star Wars shouldn't be Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, or Breaking Bad. It should be STAR WARS. Why is it so hard for people like you to grasp that simple concept? Lol

@@HarleyQuinn-ec1ws I'll admit, for the first few weeks I was blinded by the nostalgia of TFA. From a visual point of view, it did seem like Star Wars at first. But something kept bothering me...even when I was watching the movie. As corny as it sounds, I have this very strong allegiance to the Skywalker characters. And that included Kylo Ren. The very fact that someone with no training like was able to beat someone with Skywalker blood was what turned me against this sequel trilogy.
@HardikG121 I can't fully fathom the people who like them at first (definitely can't fathom the people who still do). Cause when my family and friends went to TFA we stood outside the theater for an hour and a half afterwards just bitching about how much we hated it. And we were huge SW fans growing up; collecting the cards, reading the novels, etc.
You know who saw this from the beginning? James Cameron. “I have to say that I felt that George’s group of six films had more innovative visual imagination. This film was more of a retrenchment to things you had seen before.”
I think it's a shame that filmmakers like Ridley Scott, James Cameron, and George Lucas seem to get so much ridicule for trying to do something new and innovative wit film, even if that means they occasionally fail, yet films that repeat the same old tired formula (the MCU, Force Awakens, Disney Remakes) are consistently making over a billion.
@@Deathlygunn I still love the MCU, but I have to agree. I love it when I see movies that are so different they take my breath away. It doesn't seem like Disney has a vision anymore, just dollar bill signs in their eyes. I don't even know what to say.
Yeah, maybe most of the fan base but I've always enjoyed the prequels. I feel like one reason he sold the rights was the massive bullying and backlash from the prequels.
This is why I follow Jeremy Jahns. Hes so genuine and he doesnt rant but elaborates his opinion. And I cant help but follow him. He validates every fan who had issues.
You know, it's sad/funny in retrospect. We prequel fans were so worried the PT was going to be ignored or ruined by the sequel trilogy. Little did we know it was going to be the ENTIRE saga, original trilogy included. We were so innocent then.
I'm so glad he brought up the galaxy structure thing. That was on my mind since the force awakens and I was amazed no one brought it up. Like what is the first order. Where did they come from. What wad the point of the original trilogy if everything went back the way it was! No one asked this
@glitter I read the synopsis online since it was bugging me so much. But I shouldn't have to. It should have been explained in tlj. the last jedi was just the worst, don't understand how anyone can defend it. Just made no sense whatsoever
I know you don't mean it literally, but people did question the serious lack of world-building in the new movies, obviously this is because Kennedy ordered them to be nothing like the prequels so they just went back to barely explaining anything.
I didnt find out about the first order until recently due to channels that cover the comics. I legit sat through the force awakens thinking it was the empire.
@@darkspirit1911 Thing is, the old movies explained plenty, using the lost art of visual imagery. You might not have noticed it, but your brain did.....
Also, it's great that more and more people are starting to appreciate and accept the prequels and George, being more mature and recognize their mistakes in the overly-criticism against Lucas.
@J. C. George didn't sell his soul for money George sold star wars cause the fans kept bitching and bitching and bitching oh and ya did some more bitching, so he got tired of it and sold the company and ya of course he sold it for billions it was his love, I think it's time for fans to take some responsibility which none really have that star wars is the way it is now cause of George selling it and cause we fans pushed George to do it, since fans were no different now then they were then.

Never forget the day Disney bought LucasFilm. Everyone cheered, while I said this was not going to go well, and Disney will ultimately do what Lucas never did....actually kill Star Wars.
I was cautiously optimistic, but in my eyes disney makes awful live action movies (outside of the mcu, which they bought). Im bummed my caution was warranted.
@@raidthanfl They used to (and occasionally do) make good live action films like the early pirates of the Caribbean movies and Mary poppins, but yeah, they have been slacking off recently.
@Nostalgia Poodle agree but lets say you create a book/movie/music and no one can add anything to it after your dead. it stays the same (LOTR books) it literally becomes legacy. look at all the ancient books written. Homer wrote the Iliad and that became his legacy, he will be forever remembered by all humanity
Honestly, he needs to stop being a whiny bitch, this video was pathetic and hard to watch. It essentially boils down to "George 'Jar-Jar' Lucas is sad that disney didn't use his certainly terrible notes when he sold his franchise to them for BILLIONS of dollars and I'm so fucking triggered over it!" Based on the prequels, I hope disney literally wiped their asses with his notes. Jeremy loved TLJ when it came out but he's become such a bitter old man caricature lately that he's pretending that never happened and he doesn't even have a reason why, I think the whiny little bitch fanbase is rubbing off on him too much. Lately he can't review a fucking baked potato without going off on a tangent about how some "sjw" somewhere probably doesn't approve of the sour cream.
@@RoguSpanish he isn't an apologist who defends George Lucas with his life. He only felt extreme sympathy for what Disney did with his characters, his universe, his creation. He already seemed burnt out on Disney Star Wars to begin with if you saw his Solo review, but it's ok to feel sympathy towards the person for basically being lied to as he signed a contract that he couldn't reverse. But perhaps that's lost on a certain portion of Star Wars fans these days.
@@icedcapplord710 JarJar Lucas ruined Han's iconic introduction by trying to make him a more one-dimensional good guy from the start instead of the morally grey character he was supposed to start off as. And remember how he ruined Vader by revealing that he was just a whiny little turd who turned evil on a whim because he had a bad dream about his girlfriend? His ideas aren't perfect and shouldn't be treated as sacred, Star Wars would have NEVER been the big deal it became if he had full control over the original trilogy like he did with the prequels, it would have been forgotten and buried by time. He sold the franchise, it wasn't his anymore, he doesn't get to complain that they didn't use his terrible ideas.
You know what, your going to find your wrong about a lot of things. Lucas has helped design hundreds of films and helped on hundreds of episodes of startrek series,he helped make the golden era of 80s films, so just sit back and watch history unfold because hes not done film making yet, starwars is just the one he put his name on and Indiana Jones, but he helped make terminator and terminator2, notice how the sequels aren't epic? Guess why
deathsdoor07 People in the fandom let these movies to dictate their lives so much that it has caused real life consequences for themselves and others. Some of these consequences include harassing and affecting the lives of the many actors involved in the Star Wars films when they are just doing their jobs. Jake Lloyd was driven insane, Hayden Christianson had quit acting cause of the hatred for his role in the prequels, and both Daisey Ridley and Kelly Tran were harassed to the point that they had to leave social media when they did nothing wrong. And it’s not just the cast members. I myself have been threatened by members of the fandom cause I chose to like some of the movies they claim ruined their lives forever. If those are not signs of an unhealthy fandom then idk what is.
Bob's not the one who betrayed Lucas. Kennedy is. Lucas pushed Kennedy (who George had running LucasFilm) on Igor believing Kennedy would keep his story true, because Kennedy said she would, then Igor gave her full reign because Lucas told him "she knows what she's doing". Then Kennedy crapped all over Lucas and made Igor look like an A-Hole. That's why Igor acknowledged it. He also acknowledged it's his fault, but it's a fault of negligence, not a fault of malice.
@Gamer 4 the eternity I would say you are correct in that there is a reason. The reason he didn't stop her earlier is because he made a deal with Lucas to give her full control. Lucas was afraid Disney wouldn't respect his IP, so he pushed KK on them, not realizing she was the one who was about to destroy it. . At the end of the day, both Lucas and Iger messed up. But there "sin" was one of trust, and they believed KK when she lied to their face saying she would respect and protect the universe she was being given control of.
While Iger was negligent, I believe Kennedy's malice to be indirect. I say that because Kennedy wasn't directly involved with the writing nor the production of the movies, rather she was only involved with hiring and promoting the morons who would end up trashing Star Wars.
@@youtubeviolatedme7123She was supposed to oversee it! That's a what a producer does. Keep the bigger picture in mind, because unlike the writers and directors, who come and go, she stays on. This trilogy didn't even have a frickin' OVERARCHING STORY. There might as well have been no producer, because they clearly just made it up as they went along, anyway. I'm not a hater, but she neglected her responsibility big time.
“The main thing is to protect these characters and make sure that they still continue to live in the way you created them." - Kathleen Kennedy What a crock.
@@ImperiaGin yeah because regret isnt a thing. Money isnt everything and the man sold it expecting to have something to do with it as they said he would. In the end its still his creation and what disney did sucks.
autumn girl it’s so annoying. I HATE the prequels still, and I love the sequel trilogy. Both sets have their own problems, but at least the sequels are entertaining. The best thing would’ve been Lucas to write the story treatments, and have Disney change whatever necessary to make an awesome product.
David Miranda I think what Disney did was far worse. Two people he trusted to take care of his baby ended up turning it into what we have now just for easy money.
@@davidmiranda1785 The prequels and the sequels have their strengths and weaknesses. The prequels had Lucas' vision and added new ideas to the mythos, but lacked the execution and had terrible cgi. The sequels lacked Lucas' vision and ended up being too anchored on the past, but has better execution and production. Lucasflm needs to have a compromise and balance the familiar and the new in their next Star Wars content, kinda like the Mandalorian.

Tadicuslegion78 that’s how I feel too and I hate Disney for it.
I’ve already seen it. Back in the day, he constantly bashed the prequels years after they came out. If he had this platform back when the prequels were coming out, he would have acted much the same as he is now.
this is how Marvel fans felt after Disney tried to shake down Sony for Spider-Man
I never thought I'd see the day _I_ was sick of Star Wars.
Arthus850 yes but you would think they would have learned for that... but no they didn’t
George Lucas clearly and absolutely said Palpatine was dead in an interview in 2013.
Also the only way The Emperor could still show up is if his HATE got imbued on to the crashed death star and he was Sith force ghost trapped in the wrecked death star he died in. That is the ONLY way they could bring him back canonically. Because he is a Sith and abandoned the will of the force for the will of the self. Sith can only become force ghosts if a part of their darkness gets trapped in an object. So being more powerful in life makes them weaker in death. That's why it's really good that Vader became good again before he died or he would have became nothing or be trapped with his hate inside of an object.

“I shouldn’t have to ingest the books to understand the movies”
TRUTH
True, but the animated series would have helped people seeing the prequels. So let us not leave that medium out of things that shouldn't be required before viewing a movie. (btw: read the Thrawn Trilogy and make that your sequel, as lots did 20 years ago.)
You can still understand the movies though. The books are just added detail. The original trilogy doesn’t really explain the state of the galaxy that much either
I agree here for the simple reason not everyone is interested in reading a bunch of books to make them understand the movie. A movie should be able to stand on its own without having to do extra reading. I personally loved the expanded universe pre disney era but I can't say i am enthusiastic about reading any of the books now.
asingh53 but do you really not understand the new movies? They aren’t as detailed on the state of the galaxy as the prequels, but I don’t think it’s much different in detail from the original trilogy.
@@zacharywolff2886 I do understand the movies even if I am not the biggest fan of them. I was more agreeing with the point that it should be completely optional. The original trilogy didn't need that detail at all. I remember having those movies on VHS and watching them at least 3 times a week and I didn't need to read a book to see well oh thats why he did this. However, when I started reading it helped me understand a bit more but it was completely optional in the end.
But all in all I will definitely be there opening day to see rise of the skywalker because no matter how bad it may get I will stick with it.

Better a few years late than never
George Lucas deserved some blame also. George Lucas should of close out his trilogy then sold it. George Lucas sold Star Wars to disney because Bob iger just pulled off a huge deal by purchasing Steve Jobs Pixar and George Lucas felt that Disney had the assets to expand star wars in different mediums. George Lucas had the upper hand but Steve Jobs made more calculated moves than George Lucas did. George Lucas chose KATHLEEN KENNEDY becsuse of friendship and the other reason is they go way back to Steven Spielberg days. George Lucas is a great storyteller but he can at times make cheesy movies like the phantom menace hence its Goku on cloud ☁ Nimbus and Attack of the Clones is another cheesy movie. Now revenge of the Sith is a good movie. The Clone Wars tv 📺 show saved the pre sequels, it made Anakin turning to the dark side more believable Dave Filoni needs to just make a animated series about Luke jedi school and how he became the luke we see in the last jedi. Now Star Wars needs to grow and expand by telling stories outside the Skywalkers. Like deep in the past and far into the future when rey and luke are myths. They should also explore more of the jedi and sith history but they should also explore more light force users who are not jedi and dark side users who are not siths or first orders. Just something new and fresh. Star Wars ia big galaxy and it should feel like one and its very diverse in genre because its a fantasy,sci-fi,western, and a mythological tale. The OT Star Wars had more of the Tv 📺 show Firefly feel and the Original Battle Star Galactica feel with a dash of fairy tale like the wizard of oz and flash Gordon mix together. The Prequels had more of a biblical, lore and Mythological medival feel. Ancient historical feel. Star Wars have to explore the past, lore of the jedi and sith and explore the deep future when the sequels are myths. And have great sory telling
He seems first of all drunk af.

@@yarpen26 yeah, it hit him pretty hard.

I personally didnt think I would get to a mindset where I didnt care that a new stars wars movie was coming out, and that almost anything star wars is just kinda depressing.
D3ATHPROOF1 eeeeeeexactly
I am surprised by myself that I do not care anymore. Even the other star wars movies got uninteresting for me. I dont feel like to watch then so often like before force awakens.
I've loved Star Wars since I was that 6 year old kid watching A New Hope in my uncle's lounge room. Now after what's been done to it I just don't care. And to me that is genuinely heartbreaking.
For me, I still have season 7 of TCW to forward to at least.

The prequels feel still authentic. The sequel trilogy feels like a fake fan fiction.
Exactly. The outline, script, dialogue, and plot points of the sequels, both jj and Rian versions, play out/perform/feel like fan fiction dreamt from the pure thought "what if this happened".
Rather than creating a succinct and strong story with rhyme and reason. They just said "whatever questions arise from our malfeasance, you can't criticise us because then you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing as fans. Just enjoy the damn movie and move on".
Authentic with all that CGI? :P

Yes, that's one of the unfortunate side effects of...betrayal.
Hahaha! Laughed because it's funny, cried because it's true.
It's KARMA. Now he knows somewhat the fans felt with all his stupid special editions, Greedo shot first, ghost of Anakin BULLSHIT.
Mar10
At least those changes were minimal and made with his own characters. Like, Greedo shooting first does matter, but certainly nowhere near as much as Luke willingly attempting to kill a child. George Lucas’ choices aren’t all great, that’s for sure, but that doesn’t change the betrayal he went through in the end
@@guldmattbb473 Luke didn't try to kill Ben Solo though. He saw the suffering, the genocide, and the destruction that Ben would cause and Luke's instincts told him to prevent it all. But the good in him stopped him before he could take action. His lightsaber activated, Luke froze filled with shame and the knowledge that because of his instincts, (instincts similar to when Vader threatened Leia) he had failed not only Ben, but his entire purpose as a Jedi. Ironicly, that moment was the event that semented Ben's turn.
Gavin Hamilton
That still was a drastic change to Luke’s character nonetheless, at least in comparison to Greedo shooting first. It’s not even that specifically that I took issue with personally, it was the fact Luke never even attempts to correct this wrong after the fact. Like, it’s Luke Skywalker, the man who willingly gave himself up to the Empire just to save his supposedly ‘already lost’ father from the dark side. You’re telling me that after causing something so monumentally bad, he’d just cower away and blame the entire Jedi order on it? Luke making an impulsive decision is one thing. Running away like a coward and never trying to fix it for years is one other thing. Hell, he doesn’t even try to reason with Kylo Ren after the fact. He just shows up, taunts Ben Solo for a few minutes, then fucks off with a snarky ‘see ya, kid’. That was his chance to actually be Luke Skywalker. The man who sees the good in even the worst people in the galaxy. The man who saved Anakin. To finally admit his wrongs to Ben and tell him he still has a chance. But no, they couldn’t even give him that.

zymosan123 quick questions since we're on the topic of politics and Star Wars now...did you watch any of the previous movies before Disney took over? Just who did you think the rebels represented. The rebels were represented by everyone from every species, race and so on and so forth. The Empire was made up of one species. The Jedi were about peace, love and harmony amongst all creatures, the sith were all about power through force, they were about greed, and deception. Jedi WERE SWJs. George Lucus essentially displayed the flaws of the Liberal Philosophy through the Jedi. Hence why they eventually fell and the Sith won, if not Temporarily. It's pretty much cut and dry. So before you go blah blah blah talking point sjws bitch and moaning yada yada You should really come to grips with the reality of the Story George Lucus was telling and how it was meant to parallel our own Universe. It's like it when right over your head
I absolutely LOVE the longer rant videos! It feels like we're really hearing an old friend talk about his dissatisfaction with the world.
As much as it killed him to sell it, I imagine being hated by people he’s entertained for years probably destroyed him more.
People actually had the audacity to say he raped their childhood. By saying that shit do you know what it can do to someone’s mental state? This man took all the hate till he broke.
You have people saying he should apologise for his movies. How fucking entitled do you have to be to demand a man apologise for trying to expand a world he created.
And now I hear of some of the reasons he sold beside the hate was he was trying to save peoples jobs at Lucasfilm and much more.
If I ever met the man, all I could do was say thank you the absolute brilliant world I and million other fell in love with and sorry for all the shit you went through.

Each of the three movies had a different director, and additional writers to help.
And there's nothing wrong with that, there's some writers who just need a hand in properly expressing the story they want to tell on screen, or on whatever medium they work on, the same way most book writers have editors.
The thing is, George Lucas did tried to get help in the Prequel trilogy. The problem was, they all rejected on helping Lucas cause they felt like he should be able to tell the story himself.

He doesn't see the new movie as a culmination of anything, just damage control at this point.

People said George *raped* their childhood. They even went so far as to demand an apology from him! I mean, the entire reason the Prequels are called Prequels is because the fanbase tore a 6 part saga in half to better pretend 1,2, and 3 didn't exist.

There are videos on RUclips of the Battlefront 3 planned game which got cancelled and hell that concept sounds incredible. The sheer irony is if they produced Lucas' actual scripts which he left them AND made proper stories and games, they'd make more money.
The reason why The Prequels have been “validated through time” is because the fans that grew up with them as kids, are now old enough to speak up for them. Basically give their opinions on it.

@@drewb2444 we grew up with both you fucking boomer, why would we watch the prequels and not the original trilogy? Not gonna be surprised if you don't know how to reply to my comment.
I'm so glad I finally found someone else that shares my concerns about the fact that the new movies are so empty.
Why are we following these people? What are they fighting over? Why are they fighting? What does the galaxy look like? Who runs it? Who was Snoke? What do the first order want?
These movies are senseless
Apparently, the New Republic didn't believe that the First Order was a threat, so they didn't build an army (this was APPARENTLY explained in the books). Instead, some people within the Republic built the Resistance, using outdated and stolen tech. And then the New Order completely obliterated the government in The Force Awakens. So now it's a fight over who runs the Galaxy, I guess. But yet, despite the New Republic's absence, the rest of the people seem to be doing pretty okay. So the whole premise is just broken. It's less rebels vs an empire of Roman space Nazis and more two factions having a pissing match over whose lightpenis is the biggest and most powerful.
They threw out George's outline and started making the movies without a plan for the trilogy, hence the confusion and emptiness. For me, the saga ends properly with ROTJ.

Original trilogy: My Dreams
Prequel trilogy: My Childhood
Sequel trilogy: Adulthood
@G Ren I didn't ask for nostalgia, TLJ was boring. I wanted to see why Luke was in hiding. The first scene shows him throw his lightsaber without even asking where he found it (and we still don't even know how it was found) and this movie took place mere minutes after TFA and and was a slow chase scene. Remember Snoke? He was hyped up to be the next Sith master but oh wait, he was only there to die in a comedic way. These series could've been great the way JJ set it up but TLJ ruined all of it in my opinion. I was so invested in TFA and now I don't even care for TRS
@@j9brando87 **Luke throwing away the lightsaber is actually justified:** Jedi are NOT defined by their lightsabers. Why are so many people thinking like the flawed Jedi in the Jedi Order? Remember when Obi-wan in AOTC said "this weapon is your life." to Anakin in the first chapter of the movie? Those were the wrong teachings! A lightsaber is just a tool that only force-sensitives can use to a greater effect than normal people, such as using it to deflect blaster shots.
Did anyone notice Luke won his ultimate test as a Jedi in ROTJ as he threw away his lightsaber and refused to kill the mass-murdering monster that is Vader?
As for TLJ as a whole, Rian Johnson was taking risks, and yes we definitely need that especially after the risk-averse Jar Jar Abrams's hack job with TFA, but Rian was too lazy to put in the proper work. He wanted to do something grand, but he never did the groundwork to put supports for a bridge so it the whole thing was just shaky, and it boldly leads to somewhere... or nowhere, ultimately. Because Jar Jar Abrams screwed the screw-up with another screw up by averting any chance of risk with TRS, making all that fandom drama worked up over nothing. What a hack. Doesn't even know how to surf on bad publicity.
I mean, the underlying story for how Luke changed from the most forgiving person to trying to kill a nephew who hasn't even completely fallen to the Dark side could have been interesting, but we never got a satisfying answer. The greater the risk, the greater the work needed to provide a tight explanation. I mean, as it stands, Luke's change is as drastic as seeing the charitable Anakin turn into the angsty Vader. Going from helping strangers by offering the winnings of his race rather than taking it for his own to a galactic villain took 3 movies (and it is still arguable whether the story of his change was properly told!), but for Luke we get a... spotty flashback? That's the problem with TLJ.
Like I said, greater the risk, the more work you need to get it to work. But boy if you pull it off, it will be a lot more dramatic than whatever formulaic corporate pig shit the likes of Jar Jar Abrams loves to roll around in.
OT: WOW!
PT: huh?
ST: meh.

@@HarleyQuinn-ec1ws I'll admit, for the first few weeks I was blinded by the nostalgia of TFA. From a visual point of view, it did seem like Star Wars at first. But something kept bothering me...even when I was watching the movie. As corny as it sounds, I have this very strong allegiance to the Skywalker characters. And that included Kylo Ren. The very fact that someone with no training like was able to beat someone with Skywalker blood was what turned me against this sequel trilogy.
@HardikG121 I can't fully fathom the people who like them at first (definitely can't fathom the people who still do). Cause when my family and friends went to TFA we stood outside the theater for an hour and a half afterwards just bitching about how much we hated it. And we were huge SW fans growing up; collecting the cards, reading the novels, etc.
You know who saw this from the beginning? James Cameron. “I have to say that I felt that George’s group of six films had more innovative visual imagination. This film was more of a retrenchment to things you had seen before.”
I think it's a shame that filmmakers like Ridley Scott, James Cameron, and George Lucas seem to get so much ridicule for trying to do something new and innovative wit film, even if that means they occasionally fail, yet films that repeat the same old tired formula (the MCU, Force Awakens, Disney Remakes) are consistently making over a billion.

for 4 billion, I don't think I would give a shit
@Nostalgia Poodle agree but lets say you create a book/movie/music and no one can add anything to it after your dead. it stays the same (LOTR books) it literally becomes legacy. look at all the ancient books written. Homer wrote the Iliad and that became his legacy, he will be forever remembered by all humanity
@A Frustrated GamerOk, I see what you're saying..but a large chunk of stock in Disney, is still a LOT of money..and after all, he did sign it over
He never said that, my guy.
tHeWasTeDYouTh Keep in mind
that was not really worth it for somebody that was already worth billions of dollars
It does not feel right to see Jeremy this heartbroken.
Feybrad Yeah I agree it’s just not the same 😔🤦🏾♂️
Honestly, he needs to stop being a whiny bitch, this video was pathetic and hard to watch. It essentially boils down to "George 'Jar-Jar' Lucas is sad that disney didn't use his certainly terrible notes when he sold his franchise to them for BILLIONS of dollars and I'm so fucking triggered over it!" Based on the prequels, I hope disney literally wiped their asses with his notes. Jeremy loved TLJ when it came out but he's become such a bitter old man caricature lately that he's pretending that never happened and he doesn't even have a reason why, I think the whiny little bitch fanbase is rubbing off on him too much. Lately he can't review a fucking baked potato without going off on a tangent about how some "sjw" somewhere probably doesn't approve of the sour cream.
@@RoguSpanish he isn't an apologist who defends George Lucas with his life. He only felt extreme sympathy for what Disney did with his characters, his universe, his creation. He already seemed burnt out on Disney Star Wars to begin with if you saw his Solo review, but it's ok to feel sympathy towards the person for basically being lied to as he signed a contract that he couldn't reverse.
But perhaps that's lost on a certain portion of Star Wars fans these days.
@@icedcapplord710 JarJar Lucas ruined Han's iconic introduction by trying to make him a more one-dimensional good guy from the start instead of the morally grey character he was supposed to start off as. And remember how he ruined Vader by revealing that he was just a whiny little turd who turned evil on a whim because he had a bad dream about his girlfriend? His ideas aren't perfect and shouldn't be treated as sacred, Star Wars would have NEVER been the big deal it became if he had full control over the original trilogy like he did with the prequels, it would have been forgotten and buried by time. He sold the franchise, it wasn't his anymore, he doesn't get to complain that they didn't use his terrible ideas.
You know what, your going to find your wrong about a lot of things. Lucas has helped design hundreds of films and helped on hundreds of episodes of startrek series,he helped make the golden era of 80s films, so just sit back and watch history unfold because hes not done film making yet, starwars is just the one he put his name on and Indiana Jones, but he helped make terminator and terminator2, notice how the sequels aren't epic? Guess why
Kinda sad how disney broke Jeremy’s excitement for Star Wars, who can blame him
tom devinney replace Disney with Drama brought up by an unhealthy fandom.
@@Megaproductions302 What is unhealthy about being part of a fandom?
@@deathsdoor07 He is saying the star wars fandom is unhealthy which is very true
That unhealthiness came about for a reason.
deathsdoor07 People in the fandom let these movies to dictate their lives so much that it has caused real life consequences for themselves and others. Some of these consequences include harassing and affecting the lives of the many actors involved in the Star Wars films when they are just doing their jobs. Jake Lloyd was driven insane, Hayden Christianson had quit acting cause of the hatred for his role in the prequels, and both Daisey Ridley and Kelly Tran were harassed to the point that they had to leave social media when they did nothing wrong. And it’s not just the cast members. I myself have been threatened by members of the fandom cause I chose to like some of the movies they claim ruined their lives forever. If those are not signs of an unhealthy fandom then idk what is.
Bob's not the one who betrayed Lucas. Kennedy is. Lucas pushed Kennedy (who George had running LucasFilm) on Igor believing Kennedy would keep his story true, because Kennedy said she would, then Igor gave her full reign because Lucas told him "she knows what she's doing". Then Kennedy crapped all over Lucas and made Igor look like an A-Hole.
That's why Igor acknowledged it. He also acknowledged it's his fault, but it's a fault of negligence, not a fault of malice.
G Ren you’re an idiot.
@Gamer 4 the eternity I would say you are correct in that there is a reason. The reason he didn't stop her earlier is because he made a deal with Lucas to give her full control. Lucas was afraid Disney wouldn't respect his IP, so he pushed KK on them, not realizing she was the one who was about to destroy it.
.
At the end of the day, both Lucas and Iger messed up. But there "sin" was one of trust, and they believed KK when she lied to their face saying she would respect and protect the universe she was being given control of.
While Iger was negligent, I believe Kennedy's malice to be indirect.
I say that because Kennedy wasn't directly involved with the writing nor the production of the movies, rather she was only involved with hiring and promoting the morons who would end up trashing Star Wars.
@@youtubeviolatedme7123She was supposed to oversee it! That's a what a producer does. Keep the bigger picture in mind, because unlike the writers and directors, who come and go, she stays on. This trilogy didn't even have a frickin' OVERARCHING STORY. There might as well have been no producer, because they clearly just made it up as they went along, anyway. I'm not a hater, but she neglected her responsibility big time.
“The main thing is to protect these characters and make sure that they still continue to live in the way you created them." - Kathleen Kennedy
What a crock.

Take a breath
I'mma sell my companies and my properties/rights for $4 billion and then complain.
**Proceeds to kill them**
@@ImperiaGin yeah because regret isnt a thing. Money isnt everything and the man sold it expecting to have something to do with it as they said he would. In the end its still his creation and what disney did sucks.
These are the videos that separate you from the rest of the movie reviewers. Good job
Bob Iger: “What I told you is true from a certain point of view”
George: 🖕😞
George: *"Then my franchise is truly dead..."*
5 years ago: "George Lucas was the worst thing to happen to Star Wars."
Now: "George Lucas please come back..."
😟
autumn girl it’s so annoying. I HATE the prequels still, and I love the sequel trilogy. Both sets have their own problems, but at least the sequels are entertaining. The best thing would’ve been Lucas to write the story treatments, and have Disney change whatever necessary to make an awesome product.
David Miranda I think what Disney did was far worse. Two people he trusted to take care of his baby ended up turning it into what we have now just for easy money.
@@davidmiranda1785 The prequels and the sequels have their strengths and weaknesses. The prequels had Lucas' vision and added new ideas to the mythos, but lacked the execution and had terrible cgi. The sequels lacked Lucas' vision and ended up being too anchored on the past, but has better execution and production. Lucasflm needs to have a compromise and balance the familiar and the new in their next Star Wars content, kinda like the Mandalorian.
The prequels were awesome
George Lucas Replies: NO
I remember seeing your reaction to TFA and it melted my heart seeing the excitement in your eyes. Now all of that is gone and its sad.
That's why you shouldn't get overly worked up about sci-fi action movies...
bicknell67 when you let yourself get pulled into drama then of course it will dampen your mood. That’s why I don’t join the drama and enjoy Star Wars for what it is... movies. People seem to forget that and I think Jeremy might be doing the same.
Nothing's ever REALLY gone....
@TheWearyWarlord I agree
I wonder if he burned the curtain.
George Lucas even said he hated the idea of the emperor coming back in the EU because it ruins Anakins story arc
Giving Anakin a story arc at all was already ruining him.
@@0Fyrebrand0 Anakin had a story arc on the original trilogy
Bruh Lucas ruined Anakin long before Disney got involved
@@staggerdagger2035 it was his to ruin bud, they were independent films and his creation, and ruined is your point of view, I would like the story from the person who created it
@@joejoyce2129 You are right it was his to ruin. I am just merely stating Star Wars was ruined far before Disney came along
George Lucas: I felt betrayed.
Game of Thrones fans after season 8: At least you got paid for it.
Edited: OMG!! 3.1K likes lol
For real though
"I don't even know who you are"
And those same morons are still probably getting a trilogy anyway.
This is the most entitled thing I’ve read in a cool min
What is Game of Thrones Season 8???????? It doesn't look like anything to me.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of George Lucas the Wise?...
I thought not. It's not a story Disney would tell you.
@G Ren yeah?, and how the disney trilogy turned out?
well said
@G Ren The real thing to not believe here is Rotten Tomatoes. It's a bogus review website.
