I don't have much hope for Episode 9 being all that great, although I'm sure it will sell plenty of tickets. Solo really let me down hard, so I'm approaching all Star Wars material with extreme skepticism now. I think the best SW films in the future will be when Disney tries something bold and fresh with very few references to these films while still not turning into the prequels. Yeah. TFA was great when it came out because it was well-made and enjoyable, but it hasn't aged well. I think TLJ will age better (except the casino plot) due to the strength of the Luke-Rey-Ben story, and I'm still holding out hope that IX will be a solid ending...but I also know that JJ loves nostalgia and cliche stuff. My biggest hope is in Johnson's new trilogy, which I hope has zero ties to any existing characters. I'd be fine with it involving Jedis and all that, but I want an end to the Rebels vs Empire story. EDIT - I want to be clear that the ST so far is still much, much better than the PT. But it's not new, which is what kind of sucks. Luke is the only one that needed to appear in it, if anyone.

Me thinking something is stupid doesn't make me a terrible person. I'm not sure how you're connecting them there. You're original response to Ort was pretty asinine, I thought.

number305 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Once again it has been proven. TLJ can't be discussed rationally. There are now 3 things that should never be brought up with polite company. Religion, Politics, and TLJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkableriots Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 https://movieweb.com/last-jedi-remake-star-wars-fans-offer/ Quote It's unclear at the present time who exactly these producers are and how they're going to come up with the financing, but there are a lot of people in support of the idea. The website says the producers have "pledged to cover the budget." For some perspective, The Last Jedi is said to have cost around $200 million to produce. It's very unclear where those funds would come from, but the site offers fans the chance to pledge money toward the remake so that they can have their "voice heard." As of this writing, the site claims those pledges have raised a staggering $14.8 million. The site provides some further information on the goals of this campaign. "This is a campaign to provide Disney an opportunity to course correct with the Star Wars franchise. The fans are completely divided and the core goal of Star Wars has been abandoned. The goal is to not make one half of the fandom happy over the other, it is to make a film that the fandom in general as a whole enjoys. The hero archetype's of the original films is what made these so great, it made characters that everyone could relate to regardless of their background and beliefs. No longer having this core element along with poor storytelling, has made the franchise divisive and in disarray." @skillzdadirecta Can you believe this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more impressed of they took that 15 million and made their own movie with their own characters... you know how many filmmakers and creative folks I know would KILL for 15 mil to produce their own scripts? "Fans" today are such clowns with zero perspective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
