Does anyone realize that SW has been creatively bankrupt for 35 YEARS NOW!
Besides redlettermedia?
I was like “oh look, gf posted in Random Thoughts, I wonder if it will be a doomsaying prophecy?”
I was close.
Well the franchise is worse off than it was than in 1997. Even if Disney gives the OUT in 4K quality, we still have to deal with half a dozen films that just cover the same ground as ANH/ESB. How many times can you see AT-AT’s in a film before the audience gets bored? Disney is a far more cynical filmmaking company than prequel-era Lucas ever was.
In your opinion. Which most of the world doesn’t share.
No one has to “deal” with movies. You can ignore them (like I wish I could to you on this forum again) and the rest of us can enjoy them.
How can you ignore them when 95% of movies released today are corporate tentpole blockbusters pandering to Chinese audiences? Will anyone like it when the Star Wars franchise is reduced to two good movies and twenty mediocre ones?
Disney is not about storytelling anymore, its about EXPLOITING NOSTALGIA to make a profit.
