re: Is Disney about to Let Favreau Retcon the ENTIRE Sequel Trilogy?

Doing that is easy, make the Expanded Universe cannon drop the HIgh Republic shite.

They should just punt on the Skywalker saga

I understand WHY people want this, but as long as you have jedi, the Skywalkers are going to be involved.

What really should have happened with the Skywalkers was that after Anakin fulfilled the prophecy, the Skywalker line should have been relegated to strong force users.

Instead of nerfing them to shite, or ignoring them, just make them a more minor part of the universe, they could even be a strong background presence.

We need to move on from the "prophecy" shite. The star wars universe needs the "after prophecy fulfilled" time period where small skirmishes across the galaxy are being addressed, and the values of the galaxy are re-imagined and explored in a post-Anakin world through the lens of the jedi order.

We never even got an answer on what the jedi order should have learned from Anakin. Was Anakin right about the jedi? How was he right? How can the order evolve to become a stronger and more noble organization?

There's so much there, but they're too interested in cheap social justice pandering and it prevents them from going into any amount of philosophical depth.

With Ashoka being cast for live action, and 1 one of the core 3 being dead, another not giving a damn, and Hamill looking rough, I say they just cast Sebastian Stan as Luke and have he and Ashoka out doing awesome Jedi stuff in the Universe.

No. It wasn't. Sorry you've been conditioned to like formulaic crap. It's not your fault. It's Hollywood's.

You clearly didn't read the second part of my statement. At the time it was created, it was a solid film.

Nah, there were plenty of WTF's in TFA.

What is the Resistance resisting... we were following a timeline where the Empire had been taken down. People expected a progression from the OT, not a rejection of it.
Han being a deadbeat, then murdered by his emo son; just one of the most unpopular resolutions of a highly popular character ever.

The following films may have been down an unpopular road, but the road started out bad.

We wanted, we NEEDED a new and different conflict. An external threat to the Republic would have been incredible.

Hail Doomcock!

Hopeful, but I'll believe it when I see it.

The idea they have to explain why these movies aren’t cannon in such a ridiculous way baffles me.

Just say you’re sorry they were all terrible and we’re going to try it again

That sounds nice, but we're not talking about a B movie franchise here. We're talking about an iconic franchise that Disney invested 4 billion in, just to get the rights to make a story. People have seen them, and "serious" fans are borderline autistic about integrating timelines and what-not.

So you can go ahead and make that statement, but you need to throw out some reason for their existence other than "we chose the wrong writers".

I think they really WOULD like a do-over, but they'd have to clean up the mess they made. Using the original actors makes that more important, because we've seen Harrison and Mark die on screen.

I also think it was a huge mistake to ever cast the original characters the way they did, as it just blows the rest of that character's potential (even with a re-cast), and their timeline with it.
I would have been hugely interested in a recast group, and their adventures in the Mandalorian (post-OT) timeline; but not anymore.

Y'know at this point, why the frick not. Let's bring the fan fiction threesome of ghost dad Vader wingmanning for Luke to get it on with his old padowan.

It can't be worse.
