Not sure why they can't just get a director to do more than one film rather than this piecemeal thing they seem to be doing.
At least Lucasfilm has (and should) tight controls over their vision of the story (for better or worse). Throwing someone else's "vision" into the universe could just throw things off.
I was a big optimist (shocking...I know) to Disney's purchase of lucasfilm. George needed to go away and they needed a stable, deep pocketed company that knows how to cross market across all
Media platforms...
But since 12/18/15...I have to say I have become skeptical that they have no idea what Star Wars' success is based In and that has clouded their vision...
Star Wars isn't a "visual" spectacle that is looking for new avenues for social expansion or to be introduced into the world market.
And it pains me to say this: but it's become apparent...it's never gonna be as popular for all genders/cultures and it doesn't need the box office of the Chinese.
I think if they would just write for western cultures...and make the spectacle secondary to the basic storylines...it would sell itself for another 40 years.
I don't think what they are doing can...I don't think Kathy Kennedy is strong enough...and I think its taking to much of a "global" tact and it's forced.
TFA just doesn't grip you...and rogue one was better but THEY seem disgusted by it. That was more heart and that's what they need.
The Han Solo thing was an awful idea that now is a debaucle.
They're writing a movie about a character that has all but 15 years of his life already portrayed on screen...
First they say that episode 9 was going to be "Leia's movie"...then they announce she won't be back...
Huh? Plan B? Like wwe?
Both rian Johnson and mark hamills comments make me think this one isn't standing well either.
...I don't know...and that doesn't even cover what I feel is a misguided Park vision and timidity in tv and multimedia to this point...and honestly the product has been bad.
Lots of uncertainty. I thought Star Wars would be fully resurrected when disney bought it...but apparently it's impossible to eclipse the early 80's on film?
How? Wha???
