Star Wars franchise abandoning Skywalker legacy to create new content

When are they going to cease ? The saga is beyond tired .

They screwed up the SkyWalker story …

I know . The Last Jedi was dreadful

Was that the one about a ship running out of gas? How ironic.

The force is female.

They ruined the Skywalker saga with their tired rehashes of old plot elements, and a lack of structure and coherence with the sequel trilogy.

[quote] When are they going to cease ?

When they finally kill the cash cow. When people stop buying what they're selling.

Just say it, they demolished the saga by going woke.

To me, Return of the Jedi killed it. I was hugely disappointed in that, and I was only 11 when it premiered, so not exactly highly discerning.

Wokeness didn’t kill the Skywalker saga, a lack of planning did.

Hiring three different (initially) screenwriter/directors with no over arching vision was the first problem.

Wokeness didn’t help

I would rather watch something Star Wars related than another comic book movie

I think the Mandalorian showed that a bit of Skywalker magic (Baby Yoda, CGI cameo of Luke Skywalker) goes a long way. I loved Rogue One and I liked the Han Solo story (mainly for sexy Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover).

The main movies always felt a bit meandering to me, where every quest and mission is just a plot device and the characters failed to really sell what's at stake.

For the most part, they are fun roller coaster rides. Rise of the Skywalker didn't deliver on that, and the reveal of the Emperor being back was such a lame twist.

Yes it did. Kennedy deliberately tried to diminish Luke and replace him with a female character. “The Force is Female” was their woke mantra. Luke Skywalker is to Star Wars what Mickey Mouse is to Disney. It’s incredible and inexplicable how Disney, of all companies, allowed to her to trash the studio’s essential iconic character.

OP- It’s been TIRED 😴 since 1999 when they first revived the Star ⭐️ Wars franchise.

So true R14!

I wish Dune would take off to be the next space franchise, but it's too grave and not appealing to children.

They could integrate Pluto Nash into the mix.

I blame that fat Asian chick.

When I was a lad I served a shift As apprentice to a Lord of the Sith I studied the Force and the holocrons Of Plagueis and the midichlorians (He studied Plagueis and the midichlorians) I studied the Force so carefully That now I am the ruler of the Clone Army

As apprentice of the Sith I learned That power craved must soon be earned I studied long and played the fool Then challenged my Master to a final duel (He challenged his master to a final duel) I challenged my master so ironically That now I am the ruler of the Clone Army

As senator of Naboo I made Inquiries into a trade blockade Behind the scenes as a Sith Lord dreamed A thousand year old vengeance scheme (A thousand year old vengeance scheme) The scheme was planned so thoroughly That I became the ruler of the Clone Army

As senator I made such a name That chancellor I soon became As more and more planets broke away The Separatists declared war that day (The Separatists declared war that day) Emergency powers were awarded me And now I am the ruler of the Clone Army

As chancellor I watched the spree of war spread across the galaxy The clones and droids, the battles waged Were all the battles that I had staged (Were all the battles that he had staged) I staged the battles so tactically That now I am the ruler of both armies

The Jedi came, "It's treason then!" They fell at my blade, all but Anakin He pledged himself upon his knees The last apprentice that I ever would need (The last apprentice that he ever would need) To bring order and peace to the galaxy That's why I was the ruler of the Clone Army

Episode IX Edit: For twenty years and four years more I ruled the galaxy as Emperor Till Vader in parental draft Threw me into a reactor shaft (He threw him into a reactor shaft) But death would not be the last of me That's why I am the ruler of a NEW army...
