Sequels ignoring sequels is an established trend in Hollywood. The Halloween series has done this like twice now with H20 and now Halloween 2018. They should do the same. Ignore TLJ exists.

its way way way too late for that now

what they did was bad enough but when they called anyone who complained about it idiots and morons for not liking it, that cemented the split and people are now divorced from emotional attachment to the star wars fandom and caring.

whatever they do will make money as brain dead zombies will watch anything today but they are never going to see block buster ratings and people lining up in the streets to watch a star wars movie again

now with that said, im gonna go watch and see what these guys say

I was just listening to this, and I think it would be just great. Star Wars was a core pillar of my childhood, but it's such a giant cluster frick now I just want them to go crazy.

that was pretty interesting

the point where the guy suggested they would bring the emperor palpatine back as a possessive force to draw kilo wren to the death star wreckage in order to merge with him and take over his body since he was too much a cuck to be the head bad guy was interesting and could be right on with where they go

but when he suggested there was a paradox with luke not being the one to fight the emperor possessed wren because then rey is left with no purpose.

i think if they go there they have to have the spirit of luke equally possess rey so its the palpotine possessed kilo wren vs the luke possessed rey in the final battle scene. i think that would work and im surprised these guys didnt see that. but im guessing there was just so much bad that needs fixing to get into that it went right passed them.

Last Jedi was not as bad as I first thought upon re-watch.

I think a lot of you have forgotten that these movies are owned by Disney and they're made to be a vehicle for children's entertainment first and foremost.

Prequels are also a lot better than the average poster on here probably thinks.

Mike has been pretty spot-on with many of his predictions in the past, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Abrams takes the time-travel route and acts like The Last Jedi mostly never happened.

It’s an unenviable task. Quite frankly, I don’t see how they can salvage the story of this new trilogy after what Rian Johnson left them to work with. They fricked up the character arcs and plot development so badly in The Last Jedi, I don’t see a path forward for this story. This is what happens when you have different writers working on different parts of a story, instead of a unified vision. It’s astonishing how badly Disney has mismanaged one of their most valuable properties.

Not watching 41 minutes, but if they're talking about Ep. 9, it's way too late. Selling the franchise to Disney was a horrible mistake. We all knew it then, but were blinded by optimism. Them taking a sharp, SJW turn puts it into super crap territory, but it was already bad nevertheless.

I think their point about how absolutely forgettable and irrelevant almost the entire cast of the new trilogy is, is one of the strongest indictments of how terrible the sequel trilogy has been.

People are more excited to see geriatric Lando than anything that the new crew is up to.

It's mind boggling they could botch such an important IP so badly.

Evil Ewok death cult twisted by and worshiping the re-animated corpse of Palpatine / Darth Sidious? Sounds great, sign me up.
