There’s only one reason they’re having problem finding a replacement, because everyone they’ve approached has made the same demand: in order to come on board, Iger has to allow them to remake TLJ. TLJ ruined the franchise and gives you nothing to work with going forward. The hyperdrive weaponry alone is a deal breaker. Rey is too perfect and needs to be brought down a notch. It’s got to be respectful to previous entries in the franchise. There’s stuff that you can work with in TLJ to where if you just reshoot some scenes and carefully edit others, I think you can keep it under $100 million.
But with this Disney has to admit they fricked up hardcore and the critics are pretty much in their pocket. At this point though, it’s the only logical step forward. Keep RO and Solo cannon, but TLJ has to be written out of it.
It will never happen, but wow, imagine if it did.
Imagine a franchise that SO loved it's IP that it was willing to eat crow and publicly admit it made a mistake. An international media campaign mea culpa the likes of which has NEVER been dreampt of. Disney actually saying "Dear fans, we're sorry. We fricked up and we want to fix it. We love Star Wars as much as you do, and we love you, our true fans, as much as you loved our films. Looking at this now, we realize TLJ is a turd, and there's no room in the Star Wars universe for turds. So we are retconning this travesty. Coming this Christmas, The Last Jedi, How it Really Happened!"
It would be HUGE. If they went back and fixed all that's wrong with TLJ and gave us a GOOD movie I really think it would be like printing money for them.
It kinda reminds me of this last clip from Mr. Mom:
The tuna with a heart!

Star Wars has always been about the story. It's why people can watch the terrible acting and writing of the prequels and still enjoy them, b/c they told a story we cared about.
The Twilight movies are terrible acting, but they told a story that was compelling to it's fans.
TLJ was a movie that could care less about telling a good story as it relates to Star Wars.
TLJ was like watching a Toy Story 4 movie where new characters are presented as the main characters for some reason b/c they want to move on from Woody and Buzz and the gang. We find in this 4th iteration of Toy Story that Woody and Buzz gave up on Bonnie as she grows up and doesn't need them anymore and essentially turn into that Fatso bear character from Toy Story 3, and they are both assholes to the new main characters.

It's interesting that the two of you post almost exactly the same things and complain about downvotes at exactly the same same time, all in lock-step agreement with each other. Even more interesting is the obsession with alters. Interesting...

You're still following me around to all the Star Wars threads? Don't want the OMLandshark persona used up on that I guess...
Move on. Get help.

Yeah, but Disney is definitely going to fire her because a bunch of people who create fake accounts to lower the ratings of films they don't like are emotionally scarred from one mediocre movie.

Great news. Now make TLJ a dream Rey had.

1) There's no reason to project your issues on us. We know you have multiple accounts.
2) You mentioned me in this thread without being prompted. I'm not the one obsessed.
Please stop trolling. It's fricking pathetic.

1. You're the only "two" constantly bringing it up.
2. And you came running...do you have notifications set up?

Don’t be an idiot. She wouldn’t have advanced to where she got if she didn’t have talent.

And whoever decided it was a good idea to write a trilogy one movie at a time with different writers is a complete moron.

None of that will Ever happen. If you believe any of that is a possibility you are more idiotic than Johnsons script.
What will happen is JJ Abrams is Gonna make a way better episode IX that will. Shift in tone and focus on the 4 main characters. I also believe he will find a way to Bring Luke back to life.
Having Luke die for no apparent reason at the end of 8 was a coup de grace. Hat is an easy fix. We even saw Yoda interact with the physical world in episode 8 so it's not outnof the realm.
One of the biggest mistakes nobody is talking about with 8 is how they neutered Hux. He should have been built up to become a serious threat to Kylo and perhaps even a secret apprentice to snoke. Instead they made him a cowering imbecile.
That has to change.

Maybe if they had gotten Speilberg to do the Star Wars movies they wouldn’t have been disasters.
Sounds like super feminist Kennedy road the coattails of a man to success and the bombed once she was actually in charge

I can't remember, but when SW and ESB came out, was it already known that it was part of an overall trilogy? I'm wondering if they somehow negate TLJ, instead of cramming everything that fixes this and also trying to wrap up the trilogy all in Episode IX, surprise the fans and make this part of a tetralogy instead and end it at Episode X.

Also there was no development of Kylo. He was an angry spoiled brat at the beginning of VIII and is still an angry spoiled brat at the end of IX. Never grew up or learned anything.

Why does everyone always have a stick up their arse? I didn’t say I believed that was going to happen. Congrats though you really put me in my place!

Don't frick with the Mouse's money. That's rule number one.
They got greedy and wanted to print money a couple times a year...they couldn't wait or be bothered to actually flesh out the franchise with a cogent story-line on it's 3rd leg.
They bought it and thought it was foolproof.
Star Wars was never Shakespearean drama, but it did have an intelligible storyline running through the OT, and extending back into the prequels. The first 6 films together, it's fairly easy to project certain plots going forward.
It was actually a lot harder to imagine a coherent plot emerging from Marvel, than from the Star Wars framework.
The sheer level of incompetence required to frick it all up so massively is impressive. The worst it should have been, would have been a safe vanilla storyline. That alone would have raked in billions, and left things in place when someone came up with the right new idea. They just had to NOT arbitrarily destroy the base concept... which they did. Kennedy poisoned the well.
