In an ideal world, George Lucas would have kept directing and writing films, keeping his craft sharp.
Yeah… that didn’t really work out.
I suspect something else: without him, there will be no more great Star Wars films.
There’s been two since he stepped down.
Which ones?
The two that have been made so far.
I don’t know if I’d go so far as to call them great, but not sure why you feel the need to ask that question.
There’s been three good movies.
So that means you liked Rogue One I guess?
I did. I don’t get all the hate around it.
Me neither. But I did not like it. I rented it (!) from my local video store and fast forwarded through the last third. The Vader sequence at the end seemed like the biggest, cheesiest piece of fan service ever.
