Has Star Wars finally "jumped the shark"?

Jumped the shark? Definitely not. I’ve liked all the new Star Wars movies, even Rogue One which had many problems (mostly with characters), and The Last Jedi might be my favourite of all the films.

I do think, however, that it’s become a very saturated franchise. Even now I’ve lost most of the anticipation for the new films. The Force Awakens was easily the most excited I’ve ever been for any movie ever, but each conesecutive film I’ve been less hyped for. Not because I think they’ll be bad, just because there’s have been four movies in less than four years.

If they retain the level of quality they currently have, and return to releasing the films every three years, that’d be perfect, for me at least.

I think it’s weird that more than one movie in a year qualifies as saturation. I know Star Wars was an every three years thing and then there were long periods with no films, but still, a year is a very long time.

JEDIT: Also what Wook said.

Is Star Wars "Better Than It's Ever Been"?

I’d rather that fans have less content to enjoy if it means that I see less advertising for Star Wars content. It may be selfish, but that’s how I feel.

Anyone who wants Star Wars to just give up is selfish.

I don’t give a shit about the MCU but you don’t see me wanting it to go away just so I don’t have to see commercials for it.

Star Wars was at its best during the late 1980s into the early 1990s. You had the three original movies which were all really good, and you could watch them whenever you wanted on your VCR.

Believe it or not all the things you just described still exist.

Yes, but now there’s a whole lot of crap floating around in and polluting the Star Wars pool (bad/mediocre prequels/sequels, “special” editions, active suppression of the original movies, etc.).

Star Wars was better back when the worst thing you had to worry about were Ewoks.

Before the dark times…before the Empire!

This makes no sense. Just ignore what you don’t like.

Mine too! And my college. Ugh.

ah ha! So the team with the offensive name that you referenced in a debate about the Washington NFL team was either your highschool or college team.

Well thanks for dredging that discussion up again. Didn’t you see the part where I got yelled at?
