It used to incense me the lie that it was always the Saga of Darth Vader. It was Luke’s story, Star Wars from the adventures of Luke Skywalker. But now i think Star Wars has to evolve beyond Luke, and his story. Being stuck in the past is stuck in the past. That doesn’t mean i think Disney treated the characters with reverence from the original trilogy. And now they are running on nostalgia and have gotten the wrong message. Instead of evolving Star Wars they’ve regressed it. Its the biggest problem with episode 9, they needed to be bold and do something that didn’t waste Rian’s reset of the Star Wars universe. And i’m not sure what Lucas plans were, midichlorians and mortis leave me cold. They and Darth Maul don’t excite me in the least.
Basically Disney Star Wars is a waste of time, unless they somehow fix things with episode 10 and Rey returning. i’m glad my nieces and nephews enjoy it, but they aren’t big Star Wars fans its just another thing like Disney Marvel to them.
I don’t really have a Star Wars, the EU and the unaltered originals were my Star Wars. and a potential Lucas sequel that respected the originals and didn’t make the same prequel bs would have been great.
Have you not enjoyed the tv series so far, or looking forward to the series and films to come?
Saga-wise, George was always full of shit, and it shows, even in his unused Sequel ideas. Incoherent stories, discrepancies, retcons, and some lazy storytelling throughout the PT & his ST. Probably not much to do there other than enjoy the Original Trilogy and the EU. Maybe find some fan edits for the PT & ST to your liking?
But I am hopeful on the tv and new film front. Mandalorian, Bad Batch and Visions are all thumbsup, BOBF mixed (but decent enough overall). Andor should bring us something different. Rogue Squadron something familiar from the EU, with its own style. I hope so, anyway.
