      @l0s78 8 месяцев назад

      ​@@thegoldman25 I think you're thinking about the film, much of the time, in isolation. TLJ had some 'potentially interesting' plot threads, that weren't explored. But it largely didn't fit well in the larger arc of the Skywalker saga. And I was literally getting angry at how dumb some of the characters were while I was watching it in theaters on opening night, before any reviews started coming out. It was VERY bad in the larger context of the series. It's impact score should have been 1/10, regardless of your opinion of it. You even acknowledged that it had a "nuclear" negative impact on the series standing. It can't really get much worse than that.
      TFA was also a fine enough movie, I guess. I enjoyed it well enough when it came out, despite its style being markedly different than what came before it. However, basically acting like the New Republic wasn't a thing, and not setting up a "grander" more compelling 3 movie story arc was a missed opportunity. It didn't really move the needle much.

    • @thelyghter7927
      @thelyghter7927 4 месяца назад

      The big problem with TFA is that its not Star Wars anymore. The scrolling credits were the most Star Wars thing there. And then, suddenly we have an entire different style, a super dark setting with torture, mass murder, blood on screen, but suddenly Marvel jokes, world building is a mess, pacing is a mess, not feeling of anticipation, climax, etc.
      And everything is because of JJ: so the movie us not a Star Wars movie, is a JJ movie. Is a Disney movie. You can literally SEE the causes of some plot points being totally outside of the movie, and starting in production rooms, while you are watching the movie.
      Its corporate as f***, is souless, clueless of what a good movie needs (spoiler: a personal espiritual question or drive). They thought people wanted lightsabers, when they only wanted mothers, childs, fathers, friends, bonds.
      This is probably the worst thing ever created in Disney era, not because of quality (a lot of worse things have been made, i.e. Book of Boba Gett, RoSkywalker, Obi-Wan), but because of cimenting what axes do Star Wars is rooted on: personal axes or Corporate axes. Things made by humans or by I.A. Archetypes, or Cliches. Self-respecting, or self-ironic-referecing. Old 70s Golden age rythm, or Marvel epilectic humour and editting.
      This movie has every ingridient that will come in later bad productions of Star Wars, just not as evident.

      Agreed. The Last Jedi created a divide between fans as large as the Grand Canyon. It remains the source of so much controversy and hatred in the fandom. The Book of Boba upset people or left them apathetic, but didn't turn fans against each other in the same way. When people want to rag on Disney Star Wars, The Last Jedi is the first target while Book of Boba might not even get a brief cameo in the discussion.

    I’ll never forget seeing “ The Last Jedi “ in theaters and I went by myself . I remember sitting there and was thinking “ what’s happening “ “Is there a hidden message “ “ is it my fault for being here and being a starwars fans “ . I left the movie more confused about what I just watched rather than trying to recap the whole movie because I was lucky enough to see another starwars film in theatre’s. Since I was a kid ,
    I’ve seen every film since ep 1 going forward . Leaving the theater after watching the last Jedi was a very different experience. Weeks later I found out I wasn’t the only one that felt this way and you’re right , it divided the fan base and all the fans that grew up loving starwars, had starwars themed birthday parties, and collected all
    The merch and video games , are called bigots now for not liking modern audience starwars

      Some fans said what you said about TESB, literally a star wars magazine stopped publishing issues because they couldn't get behind TESB,
      They said it divided the fan base.
      Some Star wars fans have just always done this with every movie since Empire.
      So I kind of think the sequel hate is overblown and just a repeat of what fans said about Empire, Jedi and then the prequels.
      And as Time goes by most fans end up enjoying and appreciating the films.
      Like why can't people just like whatever star wars movies and shows they like, and why are some people obsessed on the things they hate more than enjoying the things they like?
      I'm not saying that's what you do, but I don't understand the people that do that?

      I think DIsney Star Wars is hit and miss. TFA was a good blank slate to start from, R1 was good, TLJ felt like a fan fiction, Solo was a victim of TLJ's reception, TRoS was damage control, Mando was good (but Disney went overkill because of Grogu, which led to BoBF being underwhelming), CWs7 was a good wrap up to the animated series, the Jedi gaames have been very good, Obi-Wan (again) was underwhelming due to Disney's ego and overuse of the Volume, Ahsoka was good if you apprciated Rebels and The Clone Wars. I also enjoyed Battlefront, TotJ was also good for small insights to some prequel characters.

    Abrams has a track record of making shows that set really compelling mysteries, then leaving before he has to actually answer them.

    Force awakens should have been a solid launch to an amazing trilogy. Instead, it’s a disappointing reminder of lost potential.
    The biggest issue with Rebels is that it’s a kids show. As a middle aged dude, I can only watch highlights of the best parts. Can’t watch a full episode cause it’s for kids.
    Season 3 of Mando was so disappointing because they setup a fantastic character arc for Dinn. Instead, they completely backtracked and it felt like a cartoon.

      TFA holds a special place to me. I know it has major problems but like prequel fans, I can’t bring myself to dislike it. This was the very first movie event I’ve ever been to. When that theme played and the opening crawl began, everyone in my theater stood up and cheered and I was flabbergasted. I was like “We can do this in the ? We can be loud and obnoxious and no one will bat an eye?”

I had people cheer in all 3 sequel trilogy films when I saw them in theater.

    I am going to disagree with the masses and say that overall the Disney era of Star Wars has been pretty good. I think it has been just as good as when George Lucas had full control. There have been lots of excellent things to come from it like Andor, The Mandalorian, Rebels, The Force Awakens, Rogue One, and Tales of the Jedi. There has been some bad stuff as well in Solo, Resistance, Book of Boba Fett, but besides those three I have positive feelings for every other Disney Star Wars product. Some might be middle of the pack and just barely like, but still pretty good. I give it like a 7.5 overall and while not great, I probably give the George Lucas era a 7.1 based of my same calculations.

It shows the fandom that Disney was not only willing to branch out away from the films, but that they could make their own unique era.
    While the sub-fanbase for the era is rather niche than the TV shows. With the High Republic being shown in Jedi Survivor and the Acolyte show coming soon, I could see more people becoming huge fans of the High Republic soon.

    The people who love Luke’s portrayal don’t understand the reason why we hate it.
    The problem is that RJ got Luke completely wrong. We’re expected to believe that after episodes 4-6 Luke learned absolutely from the failures of his predecessors. Luke rebuilds the Jedi order and instills his students with the same flawed dogmatic teachings that brought about the fall of the Republic, the Jedi and Anakin. All this, even though it was dogmatic masters who urged Luke to act against his beliefs and instincts.
    In TLJ Luke rants about these flawed teachings, making fans think “oh, wow he’s so right!” missing the fact that 1: we’re retreading grounds already explored in the prequels and 2: it was up to LUKE to correct them.
    RJ portrayed Luke to be an idiot incapable of learning from mistakes. He literally had to be told you could learn from failures. Completely maddening.

    I am 26 and never watched Star Wars like at all. But 2 weeks ago I started with a new hope and now I’ve watched all their live action media. Am I a Star Wars fan? I’d say so. Would most Star Wars fans consider me a fan? Probably not. That being said here’s my opinion. OT is amazing. Way better than I possibly could have expected. Even knowing most of the plot it was still very enjoyable. PT is my favorite trilogy. Is it better than ot? Nah but it is gorgeous. Absolutely stunning visually, fight choreography was so much better and revenge of the sith is my #1 movie out of the 11 live action films. Now the sequel trilogy? Visually stunning, effects were top tier, sound and score were great, characters could have been dished out better but the characters themselves were not bad. But the story? Terrible. A kid could have done better. What I disliked the most was that TFA takes place after all the interesting stuff already happened. Did the story have to revolve around Luke? No but I’d like to at least be told his story along with han and leia, I was hoping to see more of their actual story. We went from Rotj to Luke already restarted the Jedi order… and had it burned down, han and leia had a kid, Luke and Mara had a whole relationship we NEVER SAW. The republic made a come back andddd it lasted for 10 years. Empire is gone but 10 years later now empire is back??? But it’s not the empire it’s “the first order” 😉 Hans son gets trained in Jedi arts and ends up being a sith apprentice ? Luke didn’t even try to fix things bro just ran away… Han leaves leia. Leia has been doing the exact same thing her ENTIRE life. Except for when she trained as a JEDI. There’s more but all of this is what we would have loved to see. But nah they said fuck showing actual sequels let’s reboot it and claim that everything that is unbelievably stupid happened off screen. And that’s why I think the sequels suck. Mando? 10/10 I love it. Highly recommend. Bobf? Ehh. Obi wan? Very nice. Could’ve been better but it’s the best Disney could do lol. Andor? Amazing. Very good. Would recommend. Ahsoka? Mid but enjoyable. Visually beautiful. Story sucked. Now that said I think Disney buying lucasfilm was a good choice. How can anybody think different? Oh you don’t like it? So im assuming you would rather just have no Star Wars content?
    Edit. Solo was enjoyable. Probably would have been better as a series where he epidically goes on smuggling adventures. Rogue one?? Amazing. Knowing they were gonna die had me biting my nails.

    Any love close to what they did to Finn will always get a thumbs down and the person saying it kept at arms length. :/

  • @dantheman_cunningham
    @dantheman_cunningham 8 месяцев назад +4

    Interesting analysis. I also think one thing I'll give attention to is some of the books and comics, some of which have honestly been pretty good. I'm currently reading Shadow of the Sith, and that book does a good bit to elaborate on elements from the sequels, in particular Rise of Skywalker, and I suggest checking it out. It doesn't fix the issues and decisions made with the movies, but it does try to remedy them. Rise of Kylo Ren also does a lot of heavy lifting and goes into the relationship between Luke and Ben that quite honestly should've been in the sequels. The new Thrawn books are also great, unsurprising given Timothy Zahn came back to read them. I don't have any real interest in the High Republic, but I actually think it's a cool idea to have a sort of subseries focused on a particular era.
    Ultimately though, Disney's reign to me has been a mixed bag. The sequels left a lot of people disappointed, and the shows tend to be hit and miss. That said, it's not impossible to fix things. Yeah, there's a lot that's a mess, but this isn't a DCEU situation where the best solution is to hit the reset button. I know there are many people who would find that ideal, but in the case of Star Wars, I honestly think that'll just create more problems in the long run. It's better to find a way to fix what you have, and pave a new path forward.

It also doesn't really make sense as it implies that if the clone wars dragged on for a few more years or decades, the clones would really quickly be past their prime, but the way it limits characters is the biggest problem.

    Coming from someone who was excited by Lucas selling Lucasfilm so others would have the chance to tell Star Wars stories (since Lucas seemed content to sit on the property, which, as owner, is his right), my interest in Star Wars has never been lower. It started out with some promise, had some definite high points (I did like parts of the sequel trilogy--though not entirely as a whole--and I'm one of the few who really loves Solo), but now I feel like I'm watching the shows out of brand loyalty, hoping for something great again. It's just been a downward slide of quality since the first season of The Mandolorian, and it just seems like nobody working for Lucasfilm nowadays cares enough about the property to put out a quality product. Book of Boba Fett took a cool character loaded with mystery and made him painfully uninteresting, Obi-Wan looked cheap and wasted the potential behind Ewan returning to the role, Andor took the dullest character from Rogue One and stretched that dullness out over 12 episodes, and now I'm slogging through Ahsoka. Every character is flat, has no personality, and I just don't care. There's just no passion being put into the series, and it shows.

But I understand that just saying that is enough for the fandom to consider me a criminal. But those are also the same people who never wash their hands after using the bathroom.
    Despite all the flaws that Disney Star Wars has, I still really like a lot of what we were given. I still remember all the emotions I felt while watching Rise of Skywalker opening weekend and having the most satisfied feeling I felt in a long time, and even almost 4 years later I still love that movie regardless of all the problems it has.
    It's generally heartbreaking seeing what the fandom has turned into now. It's impossible to go anywhere without someone scolding you for liking x because of y. It's just exhausting to be a Star Wars fan, and even calling myself a Star Wars fan fills me with shame nowadays.

That time was the height of anti-Disney Star Wars to that point and I'd argue the most vocal and heard of the "toxic" fans. I don't think the film is great but I don't believe the box office is an accurate depiction of its overall quality. I think it easily could have made more money and the course of future projects would have been different if The Last Jedi wouldn't have been so divisive.

    I feel like the sequels are the perfect representation of Star Wars under disneys reign, it started out well and it never got better, I’m not gonna say what happens next but it’s the same thing with like the mandoverse it started out great but now we are where we are, even though Ashoka was good in my opinion, of course the only thing that has stayed wonderful is the animated series such as clone wars 7 tales of Jedi and bad batch

    Completely agreed, overall there has been great stuff from Disney Star Wars, but there has been a lot of not as great/poor stuff they have released. Stuff like Andor and Rebels was fantastic, but theres also stuff like Book of Boba Fett, 6.45/10 is a fair score

    To this day I still do not understand what people enjoy about Luke's character in The Last Jedi. It completely contradicts his character arc in the original trilogy.
    Why the hell would Luke even consider killing his own nephew when he tried to get Darth Vadar, the enforcer of the Emperor himself, to come back to the light after knowing full well all the attrocities he has committed.
    There was a way to write Luke into that situation without him attempting to take away the thing he values most his family and friends.
    Not to mention the total insanity of Luke not even knowing that Han died in the previous movie. The idea of cutting yourself off from the force is a very contrived concept that Disney Star Wars just loves to throw into their projects and I utterly despise it. Luke should have felt the death of his best friend and THAT is what should have caused him to come out of hiding.
    In the Force Awakens when Anakin's Lightsaber flew past Kylo Ren towards Rey it should have went to Luke's hand not Reys.
    The sequel trilogy is a goddamn embarrasement to the franchise, Lucasfilm's legacy, and filmmaking in general. It should be cited as the #1 example of what you shouldn't do to continue a franchise.
    If you are a fan of the sequels. Good for you im glad someone can enjoy them. However as a fan of the old movies I couldnt feel anymore aliented or betrayed by Disney Star Wars.

    Yes The Gold Man, Favreau was forced by KK to put Grogu back which caused a lot of tension between the two and season 3 of the Mandalorian was being tampered by KK so much Favreau almost quit.

    Idk why people hate on Solo. Yea we didn’t “need” it, and it’s not really an important movie that ties into anything larger, but It’s a fun and cool Star Wars movie, that doesn’t leave me scratching my head or pulling out my hair like with some of the sequel movies. I enjoyed Solo, visually it was great, had amazing action, the humour in it was also pretty good, and it told a simple yet effective story. Easily imo at least an 8/10

    • @davidbeer5015
      @davidbeer5015 8 месяцев назад

      As just one person, I don’t hate it, personally. But I don’t love it. Like, it’s fine. Music and visuals are really good. I think my biggest things against it are…1) I’m not a fan of Han or scoundrel/thief stories; 2) it felt like everything we associate with Han came from 1 adventure. Tatooine was mentioned and I look at it like “You know, all he’s missing before ANH is failing Jabba on a shipment.”

  • @RaikenXion

    I just wish you could see how most us fans see Disney Starwars, we ALL wanted to love the SEQUEL TRILOGY!!! Understand that guys!! those of us you call the "Fandom Menace" we never set out hating on the sequels movies! WHY do you even think TFA was so well received, but you have to also understand that a HUGE part of WHY that movie was so well received and loved in the beginning was because many of us fans had the expectation something of substance was going to be done with the Legacy Characters and they would be handled properly. We expected there would be some level of *World Building* and to be given a understanding and insight into whats happened with the older characters, and the Galaxy in general over all those years.
    The Mandalorian was purely a breath of fresh air for those of us fans who had literally checked out after TLJ and TROS, and so when Luke showed up in all his glory at the end of Season 2 Mando, this took so many of us older fans back to much happier times; all they could have done was give Jon Favreau his own spin-off, focusing on Luke & Grogu's adventures just for a while, coming off of when he rescued Grogu at the end of Mando Season 2. JEDI ACADEMY, and just let us hang out with this young Luke and his first student Grogu for alittle bit. don't even hint at anything that will be to come, no showing Ben turn up at the Academy, we all know the FAUILURE will happen down the line, but just give us some insight into Luke his first early time as a actual teacher of the force himself; this is what so many fans had dreamed of from his tales in the EU. But nope, Disney just had to get Grogu back to Din ASAP, and when you say it almost felt like Disney forced Favreau to do this, dude! That is literally what happened!! Don't believe me!? Just wait and see in a few more years, once Kathleen Kennedy has left Lucasfilm, i'll bet you any money Jon Favreau will reveal this Fact. Adam Driver has eventually spilled the beans on his character Kylo, was ALWAYS originally meant to go full on DARKSIDE, and descend further and further into the Dark throughout the Sequel Trilogy. These actors, they have to wait some years until there's no risk to their careers, and a certain movie is done and the studio has moved completely on.
    Anyway, lastly i'm gonna give you ALL here a hard pill to swallow but i gotta tell it as i see it, if you think im wrong on this one please tell me and give me your argument but i dont think i am. Okay so i believe DEEP DOWN, on a subconscious level, ALL you Sequels fans (especially the younger ones) you defend these movies because deep down you badly feel away, at the fact all us Fans on the other side hate the Sequels. You have been given something you've gotten into for the first time, that you can say is YOURS, that represents YOUR *Generation* and now others, older generations, who have their *Star Wars* are hating on your stuff; this is hurtful, because you want to show this is YOUR STARWARS!! That is for your generation, and have it become part of this whole Fandom as a whole.
    But because it's widely rejected and hated even, you cannot take this, and so you defend it to the last. That's what all this is really about. Some of you can see the disjoint, the inconsistencies, how it even undoes things from the OT how that all concluded. Most of you (i suspect) cant and Wont see those things, you defiantly love it regardless because ITS YOURS and NOTHING is going to take that away from you!! It's part of growing up i guess, you have things that are made in your time, of your specific generation, that's how they were made and they were made for YOU so this is it.
    We are ALWAYS gonna be divided on this one i'm afraid. All i can say is i just really wish Disney had not made Luke and his Jedi School ALL about FAILURE. Not made him walk into ben's hutt and contemplate killing him, but handled that whole backstory differently and made it where Luke actively senses who and what is behind corrupting his nephew, poisoning his mind, and playing heavily on his insecurities and just angst. And then that Luke discovers the person responsible - SNOKE!!! and Luke goes after him, but fails to defeat him.
    Now IF they had done that, and the sequels become about Luke joining with the new, younger generations of heroes, Finn & Rey, and he's actually ALLOWED TO TRAIN them!! And then they all work together to eventually take down Snoke, and ofcourse then make the focus more of Rey and Finn defeating him. Then this Fandom would not be *Divided* the way it is.
    Nobody is threatened by a female character kicking ass, and at the sametime i ask this, is it even "regressive" to have Luke "train" Rey?? And don't tell me he did because that what we got in TLJ was NOT "training". This is all about being consistent to what came before, and respecting your characters.
    IF you're the kind of Fan who thinks being Subversive and Deconstructing tropes that have always run through starwars is NEW and Original, then you don't understand *Star Wars*. And if all you want is for STAR WARS to be as DIFFERENT as possible to where it out right undoes, contradicts and subverts EVERYTHING in the Saga that came before, and the very *Lore* that George Lucas established; then i'm sorry but you also don't know *Star Wars*.
    There are ways to inject NEW IDEAS and Elements while still staying faithful to *Star Wars*. One e.g. is Filoni creating the Purgill and them being able to natural hyperspace travel from even different Galaxies; that in of itself is a wholely NEW and very Original idea that's never really been fully explored in star wars lore before. It also expands the lore alot and it doesn't contradict anything. Even the idea of the Nightsisters, force users different to the Jedi & Sith, they may not be everyone's cup of tea, yet they're still new ideas that add to the lore.

    I think the franchise is currently in a good place because there is something for every fan or every era’s fan to look forward to. Fans who wanna explore a completely new era have the James Mangold film and Acolyte to look forward to. Sequel triology fans have the Rey movie (plus the upcoming Dave filoni film is leading up to first order. Plus the mandoverse fans have Skeleton crew and new seasons of Mando and possibly Ahsoka. Like I’m more excited for Ahsoka s2 than season 1. Plus tbb s3 and Andor s2 is coming so fans have that to look forward too. I agree that tales of the Jedi has a lot of potential if it uses it. Honestly I’m more excited for the future of franchise and I think it’s because of all good things which have come before

  • @JediMasterIsaac24
    @JediMasterIsaac24 8 месяцев назад +5

    The Disney era for my money has been a mixed bag:
    There have been some good ones like R1, TFA, Mando S1&2, Bad Batch S2, and Rebels. Heck there have been some GREAT ones like TLJ, Visions, TCW S7 (particularly The Siege of Mandalore), and especially Andor. But there has also been a lot of mediocrity like Solo, Resistance, Bad Batch S1, Ahsoka, Book of Boba Fett, and Mando S3. And then there’s TROS which is tied with AOTC for the worst SW movie ever created.
    I think this era has demonstrated that it can be great when they let trust their creatives to tell their stories and take bold and exciting directions like with TLJ & Andor. Where they get it wrong is when they do projects only for the sake of fan appeasement and just play it safe like with TROS or Kenobi.
    If I could change one thing from this era, I would have kept the episode IX “Duel of the Fates” script and have Rian Johnson direct that film as opposed to JJ Abrams or Colin Trevorrow. Even if it wasn’t great, I would have preferred it for the sake of having an actual complete trilogy as opposed to TROS which was nothing but nonsensical nostalgia and a hollow end to what was a pretty solid trilogy before then. That and I think people would have still had a mostly positive opinion on this era of SW as opposed to the mixed to negative with the occasional positive response it seems to get nowadays. (The fact that they did let episode IX down as badly as they did is like if you were playing in the Super Bowl and you lost 70-20. Not only did you fail badly in front of billions of people, but you also failed in the most crucial game of the season. You could have won a championship and instead you became the biggest punching bag and the prime example of choking in the moment when it mattered most.)
    Still tho, there’s been a lot of good (some great even) and a lot of mid with an extremely bad movie that was supposed to close out a 9-movie-saga. Could be better. Could be worse. Not the best era of SW, but not the worst either.
    Rating for the Disney era of SW: 6/10 (Trust your creatives like with Andor & TLJ. Let them cook. Listen to fan criticism, but not at the expense of the story your creatives are telling like with TROS. Do all this and we will see a golden age of SW yet again.)

    Here are my 2¢ regarding Star Wars under Disney: I think that, OVERALL, Star Wars & Lucasfilm are in good hands under the Disney Co. But there are several areas where they really should improve on.
    - It needs to be better organized to have more coherence, both with the films/shows general storylines and as an organization.
    - Don’t make announcements for new projects that are not in current development. I think there are currently 12 previously announced projects that are still in development hell, with varying degrees of actual production
    - I don’t fall into the camp that says The Sequel Trilogy is bad and/or needs to be erased. In fact, _The Force Awakens_ and _The Last Jedi_ are still great films in their own right and as part of the franchise & saga. But _The Rise of Skywalker_ is where I feel the “trilogy” aspect fails to pay off, especially since they listened too much to the fans and backtracked (which STILL didn’t work). That being said, I d argue that it was Carrie Fischer’s abrupt death that threw the biggest wrench into production. Instead of backtracking, try to to build-off of what was done.
    - With TV projects, focus primarily on one at a time. Don’t try to pump out too many per year. While the shows have been generally solid (I like Obi-Wan a lot, but it does feel like a movie stretched out to 6 episodes; Boba Fett needed to focus more on Boba as a major character and commit to him as the protagonist), releasing several just months apart can create a sense of over-saturation for the fans.
    - Personally, if I was in charge, I’d have the company immediately take a minimum of a one year break with any & all releases (Movies, TV, Games). That way fans & viewers won’t worry too much about the over-saturation while also letting the hype for new projects to build over time.

    The enormous issue I take with Obi Wan is the blatant neglect for continuity or logic. A clear example is the fact that Lea, on the run and separated from OW, entered the tunnel to meet a pilot who would take her to safety. Reva, quite a bit later, enters the tunnel to give chase, but somehow is waiting at the end of the tunnel, having already killed the pilot. Wtf? Did she just apparate Harry Potter style to the end of the tunnel? Did she not run into the woman who turned back to protect Lea and help OW, since she entered prior to her leaving Lea? Mando Season 3 was a masterpiece compared to this trash.
