A lot of people talk about Disney’s Star Wars being dead. Could the franchise be revived back to its old glory? Well that could be a bit hard to achieve with Lucasfilm hating George Lucas’ work and the new fans also thinking it wasn’t very good. And with the old fans leaving in droves, is it time to throw the last shovel of dirt on to the grave?

THANKS FOR MAKING LOTS OF VIDEOS LATELY
🤖 Dear Robot Head, Imperial Probe Droid was the other spy in Mando Ep. "Spies",
But no one figured it out because we are robot bigots and only saw a tool.
9:42 why did you decide to make viewers go through the pain of hearing what those ingrates had to say?
i see your point though, it is mind numbingly stupid
as the internet is a place that serves to congregate the masses all around the world. of course the majority wil be people mindlessly clacking away the dumbest shit onto their keyboards.
surely they werent even human! id be more comfortable beleiving they where bot accounts kennedy made herself, as to not feed my misanthropology any more
Love your intro. Idea..
Can you put your robot head on top of the ABC robot from the Stallone Dredd movie.
Saw The Force Awakens, thoughts were similar to yours, saw The Last Jedi and took a life boat. I did like Rogue One but I would guess that was forced to fit into the original series of films. I don't want to sound arrogant but I reckon I could do a better job.
Now I only see modern Star Wars as a video- game franchise with some movies and shows around it.
You have to give Kathleen Kennedy some credit, she achieved what the Emperor and Vader never could, she killed the Jedi.
It is/was the ultimate Sith move 💪🏼👏🏼
*Kathleen Kennedy* _(taking over Lucasfilm)_ : "This will be a day long remembered. It has seen the end of George Lucas... it will soon see the end of Star Wars."
What the sith couldn't do in thousands of years she did in less than a decade
Kinda like how Moffat and Chibs killed Doctor Who.
Pretty much.
Can not argue about that lol
When Luke threw the lightsaber off the cliff it was actually the franchise he was throwing.
actually facts lmao.
The Force Awakens was good
@@PatoChu Force Awakens was bad. Same Rebels Vs Empire conflict with another Death star. What a brilliant idea 👏
@@PatoChu TFA *_could_* have been considered good... if the 2 movies that followed it were not utter garbage.
No, that was when the opening title of TFA said "Luke Skywalker has vanished. First Order rose from ashes of Empire, Leia is the leader of the Resistance". All achievements and events of OT are thrown away off screen.
TFA was probably the best sequel movie but that doesn’t mean it was good
It went from “I have a story I want to tell thats awesome” to “how can we use the story to sell toys, wokeness, and as many spin-offs as possible?”.
Sadly, it’s not just Star Wars being ruined. Video Games, TV shows, Sports, EVERYTHING.
Goddamn this is painfully true. I wish it wasn't but I guess Hell on Earth really is a thing.
@@TheFearsomeWaffle Woke culture has destroyed all forms of entertainment and burned our childhoods to the ground.
The worst part of all this is they’re using existing IPs to perpetrate all their woke BS. Instead of creating their own. Truly evil.
What have you done to stop it? What are you going to do? I have a feeling both of those questions have the same answer.
@@GrimGianni What CAN I do?
People hating on the Jedi is mind blowing to me. The fantastical and religious aspects of Star Wars are what makes it unique amongst sci fi. The prequels ancient and monk like aesthetics combined with space stuff is what interests me most in the series.
To make matters worse, calling Luke boring. He had a far better personality even than his father. He had the hero's personality that we can all get behind.
I totally agree with you! Although I also want to point out that Star Wars took those ideas from older sci fi epics like Dune and A Princess of Mars. In my opinion, Star Wars is more Space Fantasy than Science Fiction. Which is cool cus that’s a genre we rarely see.
They arent real people, just some wierd form that exists but shouldnt
Woke femnazis always hate everyone who is more competent and humane than they.
@@terryrocks2jhis personality was heroic young man, I'd argue Anakins being troubled young man makes sense and works to make both characters stronger. I've always preferred Anakin because his is heroic but in a less common way, and given his upbringing it makes sense. It also makes his fall hurt, because we get to see glimpses of him and knowing his son we can imagine what he could've been, especially knowing he is redeemed at the end of the OT.
So long as Kathleen Kennedy is there, yes. The sad part is even if she gets fired, she'll just be replaced by someone like her, if not worse.
The damage has already been done, unfortunately. I gave up on Star Wars years ago.
It is suspected, that the reason she doesn't get fired is because she got plenty of dirt on some Disney higher-ups, you know, the Harvey Weinstein type of dirt.
Star Wars died when they gave it to Kennedy
The true clone wars.
The woke clones
@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 fuck off dude Kathleen is bad you're just using this to get mad at anyone who is different to you.
Yes. No one can sit here and tell me they’re excited to watch “REY” and “The acolyte”
I'm willing to pirate The Acolyte just to see how badly they mess up introducing The High Republic to a general audience.
What is the acolyte ?
The acoshite
@LeeseMedia it's a 3rd wave feminists wet dream !
The fact that these are the new shows announced and they absolutely Fd up Manalalorian, BoB, and Obi-wan as of recent is why I have no Disney+ subscription anymore
"the people left on the ship love the iceberg" sums it up perfectly.
Just watched Episode 6 again (in theater) and it made me sad because of the horrific episode 8 can’t be undone, the way they treated Luke is a crime
We all knew he was going to die anyway who cares
The thing is that in the books Luke had a family. But now he was just a crazy old guy.
You are absolutely correct in your comment. Shameful.
Who gives a shit it's still a good movie
@@Misery7531 keep coping.
I remember someone once saying something perfect regarding this
"Star Wars, the greatest film franchise of all time only to be reduced to a category on a dying streaming service."
All that's left is apathy
I think we can the same about The Lord of the Rings.
Yup…the only thing Disney managed to do that was impressive is make die hard fans become apathetic and don’t care…even their last hope excuse the pun is now down the toilet, the mandalorian was the last thing they had and they ruined that too
What exactly are you expecting from a forty year old franchise? We went through a sixteen year gap where there were no movies at all. Now there are tv shows and more movies on the way.
@@G360LIVE Not at all. The Tolkien fanbase is huge and very well established and respected. No one cares about the crappy amazon show. Only the books are canon anyway. Rings of power is irrelevant.
Palpy: _"Yessss! Let the hate through flow you!"_
Me: OK 👍🏻
It's no longer art. It's content.
Sooo true.
💯
content is meant to be enjoyed... this franchise by disney is NOT enjoyable in the slightest. its a slog and demeans EVERYONE worth 2 bits or less (they ONLY care about the finance). What i THINK you mean to say is; "It's no longer art. It's drivel. Pure and utter trash " xD
@@swizzamane8775 Back in the day, people had passion and wanted to bring their imagination to life. The art came first, then the content. Now you just have companies demanding content get made, and the "art" comes second.
@@jeremyswanson6513 Hard facts my dude ^_^
Honestly a lot of this is why I’ve just switched from the main-stream Star Wars content to the more “niche” parts of it. Funny how the further we get into the Star Wars Canon, the further I jump back to Legends for some sort of entertainment since it at least had a modicum of George in it.
Where do you find this more niche part of it, from the books?
@@squidmanfedsfeds5301mostly, yes. A few games like KOTOR and old Jedi Knight series aren’t bad either. Honestly if you want to jump into a less explored period like the old republic or post-return of the Jedi, games are often the best place to get a footing in them and then start expanding by going through EU books and comics.
@@callmecloby8365 I’ve played all three old republic games and loved them
Tried a few books and graphic novels but can’t really get into them not really sure which ones are worth reading
@@squidmanfedsfeds5301 I’d suggest some of the audiobooks like Plagueis and the Bane trilogy to get started (that’s what I did). Excellent writing and voice work in all of those and it’ll help get you more used to the writing they use in EU material. I will say I haven’t had a chance to look into the KOTOR Comic series yet so I can’t vouch for them, all I’d suggest when it comes to them is pick and choose the ones that interest you most and don’t force yourself to read one (otherwise you’ll hate it, trust me I know).
Oh and a last minute tip; if you haven’t picked them up the Essential Guide to Warfare and other indexes are surprisingly fun to read (and if you don’t feel like reading just gloss through the illustrations, they’re really damn good). They give you an overview on time periods and can help with choosing one to look into. Additionally they’ll give you some small excerpts from in-universe characters about each time period.
@@callmecloby8365 plagueis books and stories do sound interesting
I appreciate the comment friend maybe I’ll give one of the books another shot
I have a feeling that the idea of Andor having no Jedi= good show is because of the fact that Disney ruined the Jedi. The whole Rey having no character and basically being like this overpowered person who’s loved by everyone and who can only be good made everyone associate the Jedi with her because she is the most recent depiction of them (in the movies). This is why Rogue one, Andor, and Bad Batch are well liked. They give a change of pace for the universe and distance themselves from the whole “Rey is a strong independent woman who can do no evil and has no flaws,” that Disney has been pushing.
Them: no one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans.
Us: The truth is no one hates George Lucas Star Wars more than Disney Star Wars fans
disney Star Wars fans are not fans of SW. They are pretending to be fans, hijacking the IP to push their disgusting ideologies. Knowing it annoys millions of mentally healthy people brings them joy.
How can you not hate those who destroy what you love?
Pretty much.
That is one thing Prequel lovers and haters can agree on.
Most disney star wars fans do not hate George Lucas Star Wars.
@@fatakcz5962 They do when they resort to going after the OT to make the sequel trilogy look better.
Buddy, the “iceberg” was “the force awakens”, that was when it first hit, “the last jedi” was when people started to realize their socks were wet.
No The force awakens was the fire in the boiler room they rushed to put out and everyone ignored and the last jedi was the iceberg
That's good 👍
@@Cadian-8th-4676 That's very good 😅👍
I'm sorry, but it was a Special Edition iceberg that hit Star Wars. That's when the water started leaking in. Fans were told that the theatrical versions would fade away and be gone forever, and this is when the Star Wars community began turning on George Lucas. I do believe that part of the reason he sold Star Wars to Disney was because he was so hurt by the fans hating on him, even though it was their love for Star Wars and wanting the franchise to stay as it was that pushed that hate. I think the boat was sinking slowly until George sold Star Wars to Disney. Even George said that fans would've hated his idea for the Sequels, but I feel like the boat was rising up out of the water to all the good will that surrounded The Force Awakens and Rogue One. Then the boat snapped in two when The Last Jedi came out. Some people still had hope of a rescue even as the boat was going down fast, but Baby Yoda couldn't keep the ship afloat. And now, it's underwater and sinking down into the deep, dark ocean.
@@G360LIVE People don't have a memory or attention span long enough to come to grips with any of that. Lucas' own ego was the real enemy all along. Case in point: Instead of accepting the situation with grace, he deliberately sold "his children" to the "white slavers," like some kind of petty child doing so out of spite. The heart and soul of Star Wars was shared by all of the production crews and myriad EU artists kicking around from 1977 to about 1999. It's been shadows and dust ever since. Disney is merely finishing what Lucas began.
The OT was incredibly inspiring. Luke’s journey from farm boy, to pilot and war hero, to mystical warrior was, for all its fantastic elements, handled in a way that made it believable.
My biggest gripe with the prequels was that Anakin should have been an adult in the first film. I think it would have been better to have Anakin start out as a hot shot Z-95 pilot rather than a pod racer. Overall though, while Phantom Menace was a poor start, the movies got better as they went along because they were handled as a trilogy and had an end goal to work toward.
The sequels were a disjointed mess, that was written by a committee of people who viewed it as a marketing opportunity rather than an opportunity to craft a good work of fantasy-military science fiction.
It was impossible to make The Phantom Menace withoput showing Anakin as a boy because it was intrinsic to the entire saga's plot to know that Anakin was conceived by Darth Sideous. For that to be made apparent they had to have Shmi explaining to Qui-Gon that she became pregnant without a man being in her life i.e. an 'immaculate conception'. This is the 'phantom menace' of the title, and was the only way that the sith could return with the jedi around and contantly vigilant for new births of anyone with the force; a child created by a sith who then shielded the boy's existence from the jedi as he grew. See, Darth Sideous, AKA Senator Palpatine, is also inherently important to the Anakin Skywalker saga and consequently *had* to be shown as well and this was when ANakin was still a child. Had the saga started with Anakin as an adult the early plot points about his conception, the failure of the jedi to discover him until he was 10 years old, Qui-Gon's belief that Anakin was a 'vergence' fortold in a prophesy - all would have had to have been handled in flashback (or worse still, simply revealed through expository dialogue) which was not in keeping with the Star Wars narrative style.
The prequels have tons of flaws but at least they tell a coherent story.
That is my biggest gripe about the sequel trilogy. I will accept a ton of bullshit as long as it makes relative sense and is consistent.
Just wanted to see George's episodes 7,8 and 9! Also all the Legacy books brought to the big screen!
I remember that time, but now I'm worried anything from Expanded universe(or legends) comes out it'll be ruined
@@samwilsoncaptainamerica233 That's the messed up part. Disney originally was not going to use the EU and now they are as part of damage control and possibly screwing up more legacy characters.
@@terryrocks2j They're leaving no survivors on this ship. We'll just have to remember what it once was and it's best to not look at the wreckage
I will never forget the amazing and epic fan theories for the last Jedi that ended up being a thousand times better than anything Disney could ever dream of. Also it’s not just Star Wars that is dead, but Hollywood and movies in general.
Same.
I actually theorized that Snoke was actually the ancient Sith Lord Vitiate returning to end the Force’s tyranny by consuming all life and becoming a force god.
What was more annoying was Rian and his 'your Snoke theory sucks' bullsh*t. The Last Jedi comes out and we see that Rian actually had no plan for Snoke other than as a vehicle for 'subverting our expectations'. To me it really just showed how creatively dead Lucasfilm was.
that's one of the most annoying thing about Rian Johnson for me. He posed with a 'Your Snoke theory sucks' even before the movie came out, before all the backlash. While I thought it was an asshole thing for a professional writer to lambast hobbyist fans about their ideas, I could have at least accepted him as a genius jerk if he could deliver. Only for him to literally not even give us any theory or do anything with the questions of TFA.
The most frustrating thing about listening to all the fan theories is that I knew non of them were true. I did a lot of research going into The Force Awakens and after watching it I knew for certain these people had no plan. I didn't see Mystery Boxes with questions to be answered. I saw problems that needed fixing. Funny enough I took Rian Johnson being director as a good thing at the time since J.J. Abrams bungled everything so bad with TFA. Rian Johnson managed to dig an even deeper hole than Abrams did.
Whenever I pointed out a problem with the movie like Rey's sudden use of the force, I often got the retort that Episode 8 would answer all these questions. This is why I've come to dread a piece of media when people start making theories about the world and its past instead of getting excited about what happens next.
@@nemdenemam9753 People should realize by now after Glass Onion that Ryan Johnson is the conman from The Emperor’s New Clothes, selling pseudo-intellectual crap to rich, dumb people who all are too scared to call out that the emperor is naked.
Watching Disney tank Star Wars is like watching a loved one succumb to dementia and old age. You begin to hope that they will go quietly rather than continue to deteriorate, so you can at least remember the good times
Perfect Analogy. My grandmother just passed away and was showing signs of early onset dementia. I'm thankful that she passed, surrounded by family and did not have to go through full on dementia. For the her sake and the family.
The Lord is merciful.
Personally I think it's more of a layup.
You have to go out of your way to destroy Star Wars...
Just wanna say that Andor is a revolutionary piece of Star Wars that is one of those diamonds in the rough
@@James_Bee sorry to hear of your loss, but glad she went the way did. The good time memories with her will live on with you. God bless you 🙏😌
The clone/genetic experimentation subplot of the Mandalorian implies that the only reason someone has the Force is because of their blood/DNA.
Disney heavily reinforced this belief with stuff like Rey being strong in the force just because she's a Palpy, among other things.
It would have been nice to bring back the sentiment that Force sensitives could appear anywhere in the galaxy and was not tied to lineage, that anyone could be special.
I watched Solo with my younger kids. When I had to try to explain what the human and Droid meant by "It works"...was the worst moment of my parental life. Most shills think that is a good thing. 🙄
Robot Head,I just want to thank you for all these Disney Star Wars bashing videos.I really enjoy them and they are like therapy after suffering through the destruction of this franchise.Keep doing what you do and keep up all the good work!
Hear hear!
As long as KK is still involved, there’s no hope for Star Wars
Women and anyone with rainbow coloured hair.
@@CrispyHulk1Women in general? Calm down.
It's bigger than a KK problem. Look at Marvel right now. It's an Iger problem as well as a larger cultural problem. There won't be hope for Star Wars for a LONG time, if ever, I'm afraid.
A New Hope?
Nope...
If Bob Iger was smarter he would have fired Kennedy, she probably has something damaging against him which is why she is still there.
When I put on TLJ for my family, my grandmother thought it was Spaceballs. My dad screamed in disgust at Luke milking the space walrus.
I will never understand people who are happy with someone being mad/sad/disappointed
My wife and I weren't even that impressed with TFA and left the theater disappointed and we never even bothered to see the other 2 sequel trilogy movies. The writing was on the wall from the get go.
Best decision you’ve ever made.
Not sure why more people needed tlj to see this. The 1st installment was equally atrocious.
My same reaction really, TFA was the only star wars movie I've seen in cinema, and the last one I watched. Although I have seen so many video essays and reviews about the newer ones that I might as well have seem them by osmosis.
You were smart, I watch the last Jedi knowing it would be bad and watched to the the end.
Robot Head I clearly trying to cover his azz bc he's on record praising TFA.
- I'm assuming he's a Prequel hater. We can thank them all for G. Lucas selling off to Disney 👏
It's not just Star Wars. These days, I feel like my entire childhood is dead.
And just when you think that your childhood couldn't be any more completely dead, Hollywood comes along to exhume another corpse from your childhood just to desecrate the body. There's supposedly a Babylon 5 reboot in the works, and I am firmly confident that it will be hot garbage.
Real (it’s dead)
Hollywood is on a mission to destroy everything you ever loved and twist it for their own insidious agenda.
The worst part is that it ain't mine or your childhood that gets the worst of it. It's the childhood of modern day kids that gets decimated beyond belief.
AS Steve Carrell once said "No, No! God No!"
The soup has been pissed in waaaay too much. Don’t taste good.
The hardest part of decoupling from Star Wars as man in his 40s wasn’t stepping away from a franchise I was obsessed with as a kid, I’m a grown man ffs, but it’s getting the message across to my family.
You see, if people of my generation ‘were into Star Wars’, we stayed that way. That’s why Lego started bringing out loads of expensive kits, not for kids, but for people like me with cash in my pocket.
For most of my life, Xmas/Birthdays it’s been an easy go to. An R2D2 pen here, a storm trooper notepad there, a Star Wars advent calendar at Xmas.
I’ve now got to delicately tell my mum that I don’t want this crap anymore without hurting her feelings that she’s been buying me stuff I don’t want for the last two decades.
I don’t want to whole “Why are Disney turning down my money?” route because I’m sure they’ve done their calculations and selling garbage to idiots works out more lucrative than tapping into the old school fans but I genuinely don’t understand why they couldn’t have worked both angles. All it would have taken was a bit of planning and a decent script writer. Christ, they don’t even have to be decent, just capable of imagining and maintaining a story arc over three, two hour films!! And this is Star Wars ffs, your basic world is already there!
Anyway, I’m done with it. Until Denis Villeneuve is brought in.
What on Earth are you talking about? They 'are' working both angles. Die hard fanatics who can't let go are so easy that they're still buying all of this shit without any marketing necessary whatsoever. Just look at the recent theater showings of ROTJ, where everyone is "shocked" that it wasn't promoted. A huge portion of that money just went to Disney, effectively for free. If you can break away from this pattern at all then you're not a fanatic, simple as that.
I'm the same. Star Wars merch was always a easy gift for this 40 year fan. But now I don't want most of it, especially if it's Disney era crap. My son recently bought me a Mara Jade Black Series figure as a gift, he knows what I like. In fact he hates the Disney era stuff more than me, he's lucky in that he's been able to detach himself from Star Wars much easier. Most of my family know I don't like the new Disney era Star Wars thankfully so now I just get gift cards. If Disney LucasFilm had created good stories that appealed to the old fans these new consoomers would eat it up anyway so it would be win win for them.
Denis Villeneuve doing a EU faithful adaptation of Darth Bane or Old Republic trilogy would be awesome, really liked what he's done with Dune.
Having Rey be Luke’s student with amnesia woulda been mad cool and a call back to KOTOR and maybe even prove that luke had battle meditation
Or maybe we found out that all of Rey’s powers were Snoke’s doing and the real awakening was from Finn.
how is it there are so many people out here with far better ideas for a story than the actual director was...😭😭
That'd be a dope ass way to throw the Sequels out, and potentially salvage the characters people liked (Her, Finn, and whoever else. Personally I like the Slug Man.).
@@fuzzblightyear145 Easy: Because they actually care about the story while Ryan Johnson did not.
No keep kotor/swtor away please. Once disney gets their hands on it theyll politicise it too
No it isn't because it is so fascinating to watch how one can distroy a golden goose like Star wars with so much determination, passion and twisted anti-creativity.
This new generation is all about tearing things down. They want to restart it with what they see in their imagination. But as we've all seen, the plot/story/characters all take a back seat to wokeness which is Priority #1/2/3 at this point. This method can't produce anything decent so we are left with movies that just lecture and guilt viewers.
They did it to Star Trek too
@@dumbguydepot304 there's nothing wrong with tearing things down. But what you build is supposed to be better, or get better fairly quickly. Star Wars is getting worse and worse.
When they tore down the empire, people didn't say, "gee, i wish that autocratic fascist regime would come back." The new Republic may not be perfect, and it may have some issues and take time to work those out, but everyone felt the collective relief of the jack boot no longer being on their neck
@@O1OO1O1 Agreed, the first Reboot film was great, 2nd not so great, 3rd well....
@@dumbguydepot304 I also liked the first film. Ironic that ST fans hated it, but like the new series.
What was everybody's first moment of realising that the Disney sequels was not up to par with the OT? For me it was when Poe said to Kylo after just witnessing the entire town as well as his friend getting killed, says "who talks first? Is it me or you?"
When Rey was able to do everything perfectly. She mastered the jedi mind trick, in 2 tries. But star wars died to me when Luke threw that saber over the cliff
I'm a 100% with you on TFA. It left a bit of a bad taste in one's mouth because it was so incredibly derivative, but it also had original aspects and great moments. I too thought that it was a great setup for the second part in the sequel which I was hoping to be calmer, deeper, and more mysterious. What a slap in the face TLJ turned out to be. I don't think I was ever so flabbergasted in my life and was considering multiple times to walk out of the cinema mid-movie, something I had never contemplated before, such was the extent I was taken aback by the shit show Rian Johnson had proffered.
After having watched TFA in a theater I was first feeling "wow what a slap in the face, this was a great moment !" Then we started talking with my friend , and agreed with each other on the fact that it was a bit like A New Hope.... After a few days it felt clear that we fan of the original trilogy got completely cheated by JJabrams. TFA was just a copy/paste of ANH in an isanely outrageous way.....
But we know how the USA and hollywood work right ? So I told myself ok this is not so surprising , the guy took no risk at all , it is "fan service" but at least it gave us goosebumps and there is going to have two more movies so that the real plot can start and improve......
How wrong was I.......
The last Jedi is non only bad it is also stupid. And for the rise of skywalker I had already given up so I just didn't care anymore and had more laughs than hate.
Thankfully the download of torrents exist so after TFA I didn't give my money to Disney anymore.
TFA suffered by JJ's complete inability to understand space and time and how it relates to plot narrative progression. All of his movies are literally collections of masterful set pieces strung together by bullshit. That doesn't really work for SW
I'm sure it could be turned around, but you would need such sweeping firings and replacements I'd say it's pretty much never going to happen. I haven't seen Picard, but the Trekkies seem really pleased that one guy came in who actually loved the series and the canon and put out something supposedly quality.
Picard S3 was two seasons too late.
@@ajclements4627 true but better than nothing at all
Nice pfp, NERD.
@@vileluca I’ll agree to disagree lol
I liked Picard season 3 as a good send-off. I have zero faith that Star Trek will be good moving forward 👍
Star Wars before Disney is the best films in my opinion. RIP to Star Wars
What I meant to say is the episodes 1-6 is where it’s at. I remember anytime I was a kid sick from school I would pop in a vhs of those said movies and they always made me feel better. Also revenge of the sith is my favorite movie out those six with empire close behind
Star Wars = I - VI
Your not a true star wars fans unless you only enjoy the OG trilogy, anything that comes after is trash.
Yeah hearing kids moan about OTSW being boring or whatever the fuck, just tells me we have an overestimulated population that doesn't have time to pay attention, or it's just not cool to. Which really just makes me feel like people not liking actually good art is the least of our worries in the time well have to spend with these snot gobblers.
@@renzmanzano4010 Dude...I know the Prequels aren't exactly loved by everyone. People know they are flawed, but even with the flaws, they were about a thousand times better than the cheap rip-off Disney movies. George actually gave an interesting story about the fall of Anakin Skywalker and the Jedi. His talent made him prideful. His past made him fear losing people. It led him to the dark side as he pressed forward without ever considering to take a slower more wise approach. THAT is some incredible characterization. Top it off with Palpatine building a connection to Anakin and Episode 3 which showed an epic fall of the Jedi and it is hard to say that the movies were full on trash. There was something pretty good there, even if it was clumsily executed. I honestly wish George Lucas would remake those movies, while having some competent writers by his side. George has ideas, but he just needs some help to really put them to paper better.
I will never forget after leaving the theater after watching the last Jedi I said to my girlfriend… idk how I felt about that… I think I want to see it again cause I’m not sure how I feel.. now looking back I realize it was because I didn’t want to admit I didn’t like a star wars movie for the first time.
You just described exactly what happened to me. That's why no matter how many reviews I watch or how many people try to defend this movie, I'll never forget the day I left the theater totally lost, because for the first time in my life I disliked a Star Wars movie and I couldn't believe that. I even watched it two more times on theater (to never more) and I can say: I really, deeply hate this movie with a passion.
If Star Wars taught me anything is there is always those that remember the way things were before the empire took over. And are waiting and biding their time for a resurgence in the force to produce a hero that will lead us out of the darkness and into the light once more. I haven’t given up hope that someday I will have new Star Wars to share with my children someday. Well maybe my grandchildren. They can continue to twist it into something evil and twisted but a New Hope will arise.
We all knew Star Wars was gonna die under the hands of Disney back when they bought it in 2012, but when it was announced that Episode 7 was being made under JJ Abrams, the guy that brought back Star Trek, Disney tried to reassure us that it was not gonna die, that it was gonna be great, and it worked on the fans
Star Trek was a better Star Wars than The Force Awakens.

"we all Knew" is horseshit. sure i knew the moment the announced they were throwing out the EU (98% of the franchise they just bought) but after 7 came out i remember being basically harassed for not liking it like everyone else. most people though it was "good" but i hated it, and was told constantly to stop being so negative. i even got some death threats because i was at the time sill a notable leader of a particular star wars fan community then, and some "fans" were upset that i could have a leadership role while "hating star wars" cant tell you the number of times i had to explain that i wasn't the one who hated star wars... i was the last one who loved it, because i seemed to be the only person desperately trying to save a franchise i had loved my whole life from what i saw coming because of disney. obviously i failed miserably and all my worst fears came to pass, and now star wars is dead. and while part of me is glad people finally came around after 8 came out, by then it was too late. so had "we all known" star wars was gonna die in 2012... well then maybe this would not have gone this far... maybe after terrible reception of 7 disney, would have backpedaled and just farmed the EU for writing instead of thier own garbage and maybe star wars would not be forever tainted by this disney wars crap today.
I think there's people out there that just take pleasure in dispelling the enjoyment of others, and they tend to be the same people that laud the moral relativism that permeates most modern media. To those people I say: real life is harsh, and many of us just want a bit of encouragement when we can get it. Star Wars, the old Star Wars, had tragedy in spades but ultimately our hero Luke was driven by a desire to reunite what had been broken, to save, to protect. I can't help but think Johnson got satisfaction out of throwing that back in our faces with TLJ. It's just so predictable..."all your heroes are flawed" "there is no light and dark" and so on. They think this is original? It's more cliche at this point to have a deconstructed hero.
Well said - should pin this comment
Luke was flawed. He had doubts. He made mistakes. But the important thing was he learned from his mistakes and grew as a result. Luke has an amazing character arc in the OT from naive, impulsive kid to confident, thoughtful man.
The sequel Luke was a character regression. He should know that, even if his stupid dream about Kylo Ren was a real prediction, that a person can be pulled back into the Light. Because he friggen did it!
@@fattiger6957 Yes, I wasn't meaning to suggest that Luke wasn't flawed, or that I want perfect heroes. I'd just like to see characters who strive again...
It's easier to destroy than create.
Honestly, my guess is that because these writers live in relative wealth and don't have to actually stress about paying bills, caring for children, etc. they have no excitement in their lives. So they don't watch movies to escape dark reality and feel hope. They watch movies to give themselves something depressing to look at.
Love the flurry of videos lately, my mechanical friend! Always love to drop by for some deserved roasting and a good laugh! Thanks for all you do man, keep it up!
As a self proclaimed titanic historian and enthusiast of Star Wars before 2015. I loved the whole sinking ship thing.
If they had just re arranged a few key elements of Disney's Trilogy it could have been something interesting. Little things like actually turning Rey to the Darkside like they consistently teased...and then having Kylo Ben rise up as the Jedo Reborn to kill her and her grandpappi. That would have been cool and made the RISE OF SKYWALKER title make sense and that idea came from my 13 year old who thanks to MANDO 3 is 100% done with SW. RIP STaRWaRS
It would still have been shit. Surface level tweests. It needs a deeper theme, which was supposed to be the passing of the torch, the conflict and reconciliation between the older generation and the new generation.
Interesting is maybe overstating it. The first 2 movies did destroy the trilogy - the final movie of a trilogy cannot carry the trilogy on it's own. But at least RoS could have attempted to salvage the lore, and what you lined out would have been one way to do that.
Yet, so would Trevorrow's Duel of the Fates, which Disney paid money for. It's not about Disney and KK not having access to creatives who can write Star Wars. It's them actively going out of their way and spending insane amounts of money to destroy the lore.
@@Peter-jl4ki that was an idea spawned from my kid who's been very disappointed in the new movies like nost of us and openly said that is what the whole trilogy should have been about. The redemption and rise of ben skywalker... nope we got Mary Sue.
When they announce the REY movie coming up.. he said I would rather see a movie about the Knights of Ren who were the Knights of Ren anyway? That's a good question kid.
Disney Star Wars has lost its target audience in little boys but it's clear that is by Design.
When the kids are coming up with better story ideas then the company itself the future does not look great but if you ask Kathleen Kennedy..the future is female LMFAO UGH
@@doltBmB It that could have covered the whole trilogy... point is that a thirteen-year-old is coming up with logical story ideas. Something the supposed professionals behind the Disney trilogy failed in every way imaginable to do.

Star Wars died with The Force Awakens. It caused permanent damage that could not be undone.
Yes. And I can't agree with anyone who tries to say it was good at first. It made money because of hope. That hope is dead.
@@alexgillis9446 Agreed. TFA had massive problems. I mean, destroying the Republic the OT characters build? Resetting Han Solo's character development, so that they could develop him and then killing him off. Jedi's being unheard of as a myth with no Luke Skywalker in sight.
There were huge red flags. It simply wanted to recreate ANH without ever knowing what made the movie good in the first place.
@@hoppa_2184 yup. I turn off any video that says TFA was good. Haha. And then make sure I don't get recommendations again.
If I watch episode 1-6 or clone wars I feel like I could dive into this universe, I could watch it all day. Everything Disney made I watched literally once because I think it’s so boring I never could watch it twice. Imagine to watch the boba series again… hell nah.
I just watched ROTJ in theaters, Star Wars is not dead, you just have to go watch it. I have never seen the original films in theaters, and this was an incredible experience. It was like seeing the film for the first time.
Yea there was some dumb shit but goddamn that movie was good, so much charm in it.
Yeah the theatre was packed
For people not to see Lucas as a visionary you have to have some serious screws loose
They just have no sense of history. They think the only thing worthwhile happened in the past few years.
What was his vision? Dollar signs? Because he got a bunch of those in his bank account.
As a businessman, he did some amazing things with Lucas Film and Skywalker Sound and ILM, THX....
As a film maker, though... he had some crazy ideas that were thankfully tamed by the people that surrounded him and the editing of his ex-wife.
You don’t realize how many hats Lucas because of the prequels.
@@James_Bee Making movies is a collaborative effort. There has never been a big budget movie made entirely by one person. All the greatest movies ever made have been the result of many people's efforts.
Were the other people pivotal in making Star Wars? Of course! It would be absolutely absurd to say otherwise. However, at the end of the day, Lucas thought up the premise, created the characters, developed the plot and wrote the script for New Hope. He is unarguably the creator of the franchise. He deserves respect for that since nothing would have come along if he hadn't started it.
@@James_Bee really dude? Give me a break.
Star Wars was slated to be a flop when it was released. Most studios didn’t want anything to do with it.
People aid film makers, that’s how it works.
I still love the OT. Have four boys and we just watched Return of the Jedi in the theater and we loved it. We also watch the OT on my original VHS without the add one and as low of quality as they are, they are so much better than todays Star Wars. I refuse to let Disney ruin the love I had and still have for the originals and I love sharing that passion with my kids. Prequels and Clone Wars we also still watch. We were just like you after TFA and now, I can’t bear to watch any Disney Star Wars. There’s plenty of joy in the past for us though.
I've only watched episodes 7-9 once and never felt like rewarding them again. Every other star wars prior to that has been rewatched multiple times.
Same, I have the original trilogy on VHS before Feorge discovered cgi. It's still the best. TLJ was the death strike for me. Haven't touched anything Star Wars and never will.
Good to see some light and hope in this fanbase, Di$ney can try and try, but they'll never crush our love for this legacy.
It breaks my heart that something that defined my childhood is being treated with such disrespect by people who don't understand it. But that is life...
That ship metaphor aged... interestingly
I went to recent comments to check if anyone mentioned this since the video was on my watch later
I dunno. I was one of those old school fans that came out of seeing "The Force Awakens," looked at my buddy, and said, "I got a REAL bad feeling about this." The problems with Rey were there from the start, if one was really paying attention. The treatment of Han's character was a clue. They were already playing fast and loose with long understood ways of how things worked in the Star Wars universe. All that, combined with the fact that Rogue One, as much as I liked it, seemed to check a LOT of identitarian boxes, made me extremely skeptical of the second movie in the Disney fanfic trilogy.
But, boy, how wrong I was when the movie turned out to be far worse than my wildest expectations. Since then, Star Wars has been completely dead to me. The only way they could get me back is to find a way to undo the damage they did to the OG character arcs, restore them to their rightful places in the SW pantheon, and de-elevate Rey from being basically some kind of Force goddess. Basically, they would have to find a way to decanonize the sequel trilogy (or find a way to consign it to having taken place in an alternate timeline, a la the Kelvin timeline in Star Drek). That ain't gonna happen as long as Disney in charge, let alone with KK in charge of Lucasfilm. Rey is both a Disney Princess (thus untouchable) and KK's self-insert (and thus untouchable).
TFA was nostalgic, but it set a *really* high bar for the other movies, by forcing them to explain so much that was simply skipped in TFA. By being part of an officially announced trilogy TFA could rely on the other movies to fix/retcon its numerous and massive plot holes without it being considered retcons. TFA massively relied on this and passed the buck to TLJ.
When Rian decided to not pick up the buck, he managed to destroy all three movies in one go. But even if he had picked it up, writing a sequel that saved TFA was a very difficult task.
I realized quite quickly into the movie it was a remake of New Hope but kept hoping at some point it would take a turn and surprise me. By the last third of the film I realized nope, it is just a straight up copy of New Hope and disney have no new ideas beyond nostalgia. I don't know why people always hold up Last Jedi as where it fell apart.
Yeah, you could see the problems coming in TFA, especially after a second viewing. I was one of those who dropped out of the sequel audience after that first movie with a 'wait and see' attitude. After watching lengthy spoilers of the rest, due to those suspicions, I never paid to watch them. Apparently it was a slow but steady realization for most people, judging by the large drop-off with each successive theater viewership. Hope dies at varying rates.
Only one I spent to see after that was Rogue One. While it was flawed, it still managed to be a decent SW movie. Despite the KK clan stepping in with it's usual interference and "creative differences" firings. Makes you wonder whether it would've been better had that not happened.
"Star Drek" I know its a simple typo... but this KEEL'D me xD
TFA is the worst of the sequels and the ONLY reason people fail to see it is because it was a nostalgia trip. JJ could have advanced the story after episode 6 in any way he wanted and he chose to reset the universe. Everything looks and feels the same, no creativity whatsoever. All the events that happened between episode 4 and 6 were undermined and accomplished nothing. He also betrayed the original cast and undid all their character development. Han and Leia? Divorced, failed both in marriage and in parenting. She went from a princess to a general (about the same job, but with a masculine title) while Han went back to being a smuggler and a scoundrel. Luke on the other hand, failed his nephew and abandoned his friends in their time of need. None of this was Ryan's fault, it was all The Force Awakens.
Then, not satisfied with this, JJ decided to recycle the plot of episode 4, but with worse characters and full of propaganda. The movie is creatively bankrupt and undermines everything that came before.
Again, why are people still pretending TFA was ok? It's where ALL the problems began.
*I grew up surrounded by Star Wars...*
I would like to humbly apologize on behalf of modern society. We have failed you with this modern SW drivel
I'm 28, when i was like 6 years old my parents bought the original trilogy in VHS, i saw it and fell in love with it. Then the prequels came out and my father took me to the cinema to watch them as they released. I loved them, i was a kid and didn't notice many of the fair criticisms of too much reliance on bad CGI or quirky redundant lines. It didn't matter honestly because the mythos was there. The heroes journey, the great worldbuilding, the legends and mythology. It felt deep and wonderous, full of mystery and shrouded in endless possibilities. No one will ever take that away from me. Later on in my life, ive seen some sparks of the real star wars mythos. Some arcs in the clone wars series are worth seeing and episodes like episode 1 "the duel" in star wars vision is just pure genius. That said, Disney star wars is not star wars. It is a bastardization of the original mythos and it's ok if you like it, but it's a shame that it had to ride on the coattails of something real
I think I might actually love Ruin Johnson. After the TFA came out, I was largely alone in my hatred for it. People liked JarJar's mystery boxes... even though I knew nothing would come of them, because nothing good has ever come out of any of JarJar's mystery boxes... But people wouldn't listen. Then came Ruin...
I've never been more vindicated. He systematically took every single mystery box and made of joke of it. It wasn't neglect. He clearly identified them all and just said "Nope, its nothing. Get that s*** out of here!" The crazy mfer even doubled and tripled up every complaint from the first movie, kills the main villain half way through a trilogy, mocks his boss's greed, and makes a self insert character whose words and actions only make any sense if she was a traitor and saboteur. And somehow managed to do all of this with the full blessing and support of everyone at Disney and Lucasfilm. But the BEST part of it all... he may not have even done it on purpose.
say what you want about Rian
you have to gave him credit that he achieved what he wanted to achieve
a huge shitpost, the movie
On Andor, which I really enjoyed, I agree with both sides. The Jedi don’t have to be integral to every story and it’s nice to have a different feel,but, at the same time, everything should flow together. The Jedi are awesome and, even if they aren’t integral to every story, they are integral to the franchise as a whole. It always feels like two extremes when, in actuality, you can do both and still have a coherent, enjoyable franchise. In the end, you just need to hold true to the main story and universe. You should never disregard the Jedi in a SW story but you also don’t need them at the forefront of every single one. It’s about striking the right balance.
Andor is easily worst Star Wars media ever released to screens

*"BRING OUT YOUR DEAD BRING OUT YOUR DEAD"*
"I'm not dead"
"Yes you are, you'll be stone dead in a moment"
I miss the days when the original Star Wars movies were received and overall loved. There were always waves of haters from the beginning, they just weren’t quoted individually for no reason whatsoever other than being “ON THE INTERNET.” The internet has given far too much power to all that is SH*T.
I think a big problem is that social media has led us into the age of "influencers". Marketing departments can pay people to sit on social media all day and comment about how great their product is in an effort to convince other people that the product is great. It's the same idea as commercials on television. Companies have their commercials running multiple times per day, because they want to repeat their message often enough to stick it in the brains of television watchers. That's how I still know that McDonald's Big Macs are made of "two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun" because McDonald's played that commercial so many times when I was younger and had time to actually watch a lot of television. Today, it's all about influencers on social media. If they repeat a marketing message often enough, some people will begin to believe it, and the only way companies can fight any pushback by the real fans is by turning off comments.
In short, I think the comments you read that praised Andor while trashing the OT were from influencers paid by Disney/Lucasfilm to sit on social media all day and push their products on the unsuspecting masses. Disney only cares about the OT when they want to throw some nostalgia bait into their new products, but they're focused on selling the new products. Not to mention, I'm sure part of their future plans is to eventually remake the OT "for a modern audience", so trashing the original films isn't a big deal for them.
It's become a big circular, mutual form of destruction. They make movies for the influencers, who are only fans because they are paid to be fans. I guess the hope is eventually people will just adapt and learn to like it. Which means they're basically trying to condition the entertainment industry to be a reverse of what it used to be, where you like the movies and shows on THEIR terms, rather than making movies and shows with the goal of reeling you in and entertaining you. It's like a weird communist experiment. You don't love it, but you will learn to love it because that's all there will be.
Bro, andor is the best star wars show for me, even better than the OT
@@Travelling_Heart15

oh my god I did not think about that possibility of Disney remaking the OT. Seeing as they're making all of the Disney fairytail classics that would be a very possible scenario and that's scary to think about. I think I would actually kms if they remade those movies. Keep your hands off our OT!!
Holy shit I now have a new fear: Disney remaking the OT for "Modern Audiences"
Brilliant, thoughtful commentary on the commentary. Thanks for the hardwork.
You make a good point. I feel like Disney really hates the original star wars mantra of good versus evil, jedi versus sith. They're trying to get rid of it all together. It's all mixed up mumbo jumbo now.
I find myself watching old "Behind The Scenes" features of the OT and The Prequels. I like to remind myself of a time when Star Wars was made by people who care for the universe and its miriad of awesome characters, and stories.
Yeah it’s long dead. Disney has dressed up the corpse in girl power cringe and parade it around, but that’s not for me.

After the Force Awakens I was convinced the story would progress towards the overpowered Rey turning to the darkside and Finn evolving into the role of protagonist. The setup was there, the name of the movie „Last Jedi“ more than hinted at it and the trailer went as far as suggesting it for crying out loud!!
Not to mention all the nods to KotOR and the Old Republic as a whole.

Star Wars isn't dead. Disney is.
Robot Head has hit the nail on the, well, the Head as it were. The comments which Robot Head refers to are very enlightening. I actually would have loved to be able to contact those commenters and do a follow up questionnaire and ask questions regarding their thoughts on the matter. Not as an elaborate troll but to gain more insight in to this sub group of movie goers.
It's impressive not just how hateful these people are, but also how intellectually limited they are. Commenting on a franchise you know nothing about is one thing, but some of these don't even seem to understand the basics of cinematography or storytelling.
I agree that these people should be questioned. They should be studied. Science would grow immensely if we could discover how humans can survive with such massive amount of brain decay.
Come on, at least half of those commenters are paid Disney shills. Don't bother.
The thing is, a few of the comments were ok. Not the ones who disliked the OT etc but just the ones stating that Andor was good. It was, and it actually is a lot more in line with the OT than the rest of the Disney stuff. Rogue One and Andor are the 2 Disney products I would happily add to the Lucas OT. Maaaaybe Solo too. The rest of Disney Star Wars is pretty much trash (yes, Mandalorian has some great moments but it is also full of stupidity and even universe breaking moments like the magical tracking fobs...the Empire could have just used one to find Mon Mothma at the rebel base and kill em all).
I think I do agree with RH that Star Wars is dead now though. maybe a resurrection is possible at some point but really what is needed is for someone who respects the source material of the OT to come in and reset the franchise, deleting the Disney canon entirely. It won't happen but it needs to.
Their thoughts would provide very little insight.
@@PenitentExile All of them have the exact same shitty attitude and ways of expression. It's quite obvious how they're just sticking to a guide on how to defend Disney's GARBAGE.
Pretty much. I feel as if Star Wars is more focused on quantity over quality. Instead of telling stories that are meaningful and have an impact on the whole narrative as Lucas did they're just pumping out content for the sake of it. The only two SW content that I'm even mildly interested in are Ahsoka and Acolyte. Haven't seen Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, or those anime style Star Wars not even Andor.
I watched the anime style stuff, from all of them there is only one i actually liked. And it was more because of the old Kurosawa style they made. It is gorgeous. BUT, the story is quite simple, if not unoriginal because it is a kurosawa ripoff but with lightsabers, and no other episode is good.
You should check out Andor.
Just have to keep in mind it's more of a spy thriller than what you're used to out of star wars but the build-up is so worth it.
Feels like the old EU stuff I actually like.
Andor is really quite excellent and if your looking for quality writing, but its pacing is different, slightly slower but you get used to it
Andor is actually great! You should totally give it a watch
Disney had no planning when they bought star wars. Just plot treatments from Lucas that they abandoned, atleast when they bought marvel there was a plan up until endgame.

In 1983, I queued up at 6am to watch the Trilogy in one day (I was also watching ROTJ for the first time) I was 12, in Liverpool, 2nd in line, the guy in front had to go to court and I held his place (as you would) I went alone as none of my friends couldn't afford it and my family weren't arsed about Star Wars. To me, it was the most important thing to happen at that point in my life. When Phantom came out I was living in London and stood on the passenger seat of an open top car, racing across the QE2 bridge, screaming, as we went to the first showings. Family and jobs and children happened and when The Force Awakens came along, I was there at the midnight showing and felt cheated by the signposting and the Five Go Mad In Dorset vibe and the feeling that not only was it not made for me, it was also a poor remake and surprisingly, a poor JJ film. I watched the Last Jedi and the only good thing that came out of it was that I thought of the phrase " I would piss on Ryan Johnson if he was on fire, I just wouldn't put the fire out"
I'm a big Artoo fan boy, in a way I'm glad he wasn't involved in this shit show.

Audience apathy to Disney Star Wars is what kills it. No one is excited about any future Star Wars content anymore.
Love the OG intro! Your videos are hilarious…😂
I wholeheartedly agree, and that Titanic metaphor was impeccable. Star Wars was down on the floor bleeding out after The Last Jedi, but The Rise of Skywalker was the execution shot. Now it's just a rotting zombie searching for someone with a brain.
I was a little worried Yoda would be stomped by the AT-AT. Glad to see it was Gideon instead.
Disney has done a bang up job of helping me save money. I haven't bought a book or movie since they released force awakens.
Funny how people would say the Jedi are OP gods that always win on screen. Obi-Wan "lost" in Ep.4 (more like sacrificed but w/e he didn't just own Vader and escape with Luke.), Luke lost in Ep5, Qui-Gon lost in Ep1, almost the entire Jedi Council in Ep3... how out of touch.
Yes, Jedi influence in the franchise _can_ get a bit stale at times, but some people don't want to look beyond their own steps. The Jedi stand for hope, not for superpowers or flexing. For instance (and I can't blame most for not delving) they carry _only_ lightsabers because it's a weapon that doesn't appear as imposing or intimidating. You see a guy in a robe, he carries a lightsaber, you know he's there to settle an issue. It's a symbol first and a weapon second, as are the Jedi diplomats first and warriors ...as a last resort.
So yeah, the viewers of SW media are given the superhero aspect of the Jedi, but to be a "fan" of SW, they should dive into the very rich and easily accessible lore before they pass judgment on what a concept is.
Disney bought a money printing machine and then stripped it for parts to fix the office printer
