I think most people prefer imaginative creativity though.

Lazy references and recycled images are not clever or interesting though.

What do you guys think? Do I make sense or have I gone too deep into schizo territory?

Nope you are correct. What you’re describing is the process of writing a sequel properly in a way that addresses previous threads and consolidates earlier details. Unlike TROS which is just a shambles.

What they needed to do was:

1. Bring back Rey’s visions and work out the details of the saber connection
2. Address what exactly was awakened in The Force… Awakens… and why Snoke cared
3. Finished the Rey and Kylo arc in a meaningful way, in particular the idea that Rey was desperate for belonging and Kylo rejected it
4. Explicitly say that Palpatine funded the First Order to forward his plans
5. Explicitly say that Palpatine used his foreknowledge of the Dyad to forward his plans
6. Explicitly say what Snoke was doing and how this gave Palpatine a good reason to exist in this trilogy
7. Actually write a story about family instead of just having Carrie’s soundbite become a joke
8. Finish the potential of a First Order vs Final Order conflict
9. Finish the potential of Finn vs Kylo or by extension his former death squad team members
10. Or just actually write a script that fills out the trilogy in a nice interwoven triangular format instead of it being three disparate movies. Is this so hard? How can a corporation with so much time and money make such a mess, when just 5 minutes typing this on the fly offers a better outline?

If TROS ended like this, it would end up being a two-parter. Part 2 would be released in 2020 and be a greater film.

‘Video not found’

Yeah that would have been a better ending.

The porthole in the back of the TIE Fighter isn’t a jet engine.

From the small and incredibly vague comments people from LFL have made over the years, probably yes.

Lucasfilm and Disney have to know how many people are at the very least interested

Yeah this shows them. The wider fandom barely cares at all and the general audience cares even less.

Because they usually just show how few, not how many, people are involved.

It would have made for a fun Maz/Lando subplot in the final movie. Instead of them doing nothing…

I hate to say it but the low number of signatures over such a long time tells them what they already suspect; it’s not worth the effort.

Yeah that’s a bot or something.

The Filoni pilot movie? Yeah.

They’re dumb, but the question is was it on purpose? A lot of the TV material afterwards fills in the context, bit I have to wonder if this is damage control.

Misunderstood is an odd choice of phrase. People understand were the problems lie. Most would agree that in terms of pacing it leaves a lot to be desired, especially in the second act. And Han’s character arc being… guy who opens door isn’t exactly compelling stuff. But on the other hand people that think it’s worse than any of the subsequent films are dead wrong, in the same way that those who say that 4th Indiana Jones movie is better than Temple of Doom.

The Bizarre World of Fan Edits - Royal Ocean Film Society

A look at fan edits and restorations in general from The Phantom Edit to Harmy and everything else.

The second one was the best if I recall, more polish and better recreations of the classic battles compared to N64. The third, yeah, adds a bunch of weird stuff that doesn’t work. There was a Clone Wars game later had more fun mixture of play styles even if it was lacklustre overall. Never touched any Naboo or Jedi Starfighter games.

For some reason there were also GameBoy versions back in the day but only ROTJ retained the “Super” moniker. I think because it was more of an attempt at a direct port and the other two were based on the older NES titles.

In TFA there’s a clone army reference by Hux, and the city that houses the New Republic capital seems intentionally similar to Coruscant.

Oh god they’re doing it. They’re releasing this random stuff and not the OOT.

Yeah maybe. Escape From New York was like 4 years later.

Jeez why are all the pro-Lucas and pro-prequel videos like 2 hours long or more

Yeah the speed of movie releases these days compared to like 2005 is also a factor.

Their Re-Imagined videos are funny and yet so painful.

it’s something that needs a lot more work from a storytelling perspective

What an understatement.

Putting a few disclaimers up on something that will get them more subscribers? That’s one thing. Putting up terrible Ewok movies they’d rather deny exist in their current Saga? That’s something else.
