I haven’t seen TLJ, but I don’t see how anyone could describe TFA or R1 as films with any kind of creative or artistic vision. I’m not even saying that as an insult to them. There are plenty of Bond movies or other films that I love and find entertaining as hell that have no real creative or artistic vision, but I don’t find the Disney SW films entertaining. And since they don’t entertain me or interest me and they don’t have heart, I can’t appreciate them as films.
I’m not sure you’re the best person to judge if a movie “has a heart.” (joking, I guess I need to clarify)
I am.
The Disney films are the director’s vision being made with massive amounts of input from Disney/LFL overlords who don’t care about Star Wars.
Citation needed.
Would you prefer Solo to be directed by people who turn Han into a lovably comical rogue, or to have KK step in and replace them with a director who will do justice to the character?
I would prefer that Disney allows the people who they hired in the first place to make the picture they feel works best. And maybe I’m wrong about the studio execs not caring about Star Wars, and I apologize for making baseless claims, but I’m not getting any glimpses of the contrary from what has been happening with the new films.
Kennedy hired them, not Disney. Kennedy is the producer, she has the creative right to fire them, whether justified or not.
Kennedy is part of the Disney machine now. She runs one of their biggest moneymakers.
Also, just because you don’t like the movies they’ve made doesn’t mean your speculations are right. Baselessly blaming “studio interference” for everything is a completely sophomoric way of looking at things.
I blame studio interference when there is more attention to things (like shoving in recognizable crap from the original films) that are completely devoid of any artistic merit, because it seems like the most obvious reason.
