re: Episode IX is the lame duck in Disney's Star Wars saga (Forbes)

Star wars has always been the original trilogy and will always be the original trilogy.

It's the foundation of everything. To think they can replace it for a new generation is insanity.

I'm okay with moving on from it...but what we've seen up to this point, is them completely running OVER the OT


Literally everything that was gained over the course of the OT in terms of character development and narrative was thrown into the garbage.


Topple the empire?- Nope, First Order is just new empire with a different symbol.


Luke goes from farm boy to legendary jedi?-Now hes just a cynical, crotchety old hermit who drinks blue milk and calls lightsabers "laser swords" .

Balance of the force?-Nah, that didnt happen, Rey will balance the force.

The ancient jedi texts to restore the jedi order?- Nah, those are just silly old books, in fact, "force ghost" Yoda is going to set them on fire via lightning.


They were supposed to CONTINUE the story, continue a new path, not rehash the original and write over it.


Rey should have been a Jedi student of Luke. Instead they just turned her into a female Anakin Skywalker without the internal struggle and without any external adversity either.
