But I’m also of the opinion that the OT was fine as it was, the story was complete, and we didn’t actually need these new films from a story point of view.
We absolutely didn’t need these movies, but we don’t need any movies. What does need have to do with it at all?
Anyway Rian is supposedly working on an unconnected trilogy so there’s that.
That’s true (although I’d argue that humankind does need stories, and movies are stories).
What I mean is the story was done, it had an ending. These new films are enjoyable and cool, but ultimately they are bonus material.
