The designs are pretty disappointing. Though they brand them as “evolution’s”, they really come off as quite lazy. I just wish they had the boldness to actually do something different from the classic star wars ships. Take risks people. That is why the new rebel ships seen on Crait actually really excite me! They look unique and unlike anything I have seen in Star Wars so far.

The people making these movies are not visionaries. Their only concern is to package you something you are familiar with and sell it to you in a nice corporate fashion. I bet they even have that manufactured new car smell.

goood…the new designs you want will probably be awful…i hope we never get away from the OT aesthetic

Here’s an idea…you can do new things that are still true to the original.

Possibilities?

  1. New things that are true to the original
  2. New things that are counter to the original
  3. Same things that are true to the original
  4. Same things that are counter to the original

I would like to see movies like choice #1. The third option is basically the original movies.

#2 and #4 are the worst. The prequels were visionary, but their vision sucked. The Disney movies have taken something beloved and co-opted it for soulless, corporate profit. Total lack of imagination. No vision. Frankenstein’s monster of plot contrivances where every little producer and executive gets their pet idea into the picture. Sell more toys. Sell more video games. You get the idea.
