RUMOR More Pressure-Cooker Nonsense for New Film Trilogy

Disney, like every mega corporation, have bitten off more than they can chew. They own too many franchises...and sadly in their eagerness to make money first and good films second they are going for quantity over quality.

 

LOL! What exactly about the OT is quality? Because I don't see it. Also if the KK 'should get fired' crowd (despite her having a successful 40+ career in a shark tank like Hollywood.)

Why do they not put their money where their mouth is and finance a film and put it on Youtube? Since they think they can do so much better?

I honestly can't wait to see it.

 

Very difficult to take this seriously. It's an example of how people in fandom have no idea how difficult it is to produce and make great movies.

 

So your example of a company that doesn't know how to make movies is Disney, the most successful movie producer in the world today?

 

If someone says the OT isn't a quality product, well I don't know what they're doing here. They weren't just 'quality' they were industry game-changers.

 

???

You post this and consider the OT to be quality? The wooden acting the cheesy lines? Really?

 

Absolutely, it is not a new trilogy, but 3 movies that won't be related one to the other.
- 1st movie starring Rey and said to occur 15 years after TROS
- 2nd movie on the very first Jedis, 25.000 years beforre Yavin
- 3rd movie by said to be "The Mandalorian" by Dave Filoni and located in the sequel era
inb4 : I don't know if the délivry schedule will be this one.

 

"I know." ​

 

I'm hopeful about films #2 and #3 but I have a bad feeling about this one. I hope I'm wrong. I liked Rey's introduction in TFA. But the next two films in the ST didn't do the character (or the actress) any favors.

It's certainly possible that a kick-butt story could change the opinion of her that currently exists. But given the lineage JJ and Company gave her in TROS, she's got a lot of baggage for the screenplay writers to overcome.

One of the key ingredients to a great character is someone dealing with flaws and fears the movie-viewing public can relate to. But in Rey "Skywalker's" case, do they dare 'go there' and remind the audience of Rey's true lineage? My gut says their natural inclination is to go the opposite way and double-down on her inherent goodness. IMO, that's not the way to give Star Wars film-hungry audiences a compelling and relatable character.

 

Since this is the project Lucasfilm has spent the most time on the past 3 years it clear they believe (as well as the Disney numbers crunchers) a film built around Rey is the surest bet. So while you may not like the character or relate to her you are speaking from a position that may be seen online, but not really reflected by the general audience.

Rey is a very popular character and has been at the center of their film productions for almost 10 years now. That means all those 8-12 year old kids that loved Rey are now 18-22 when this film comes out. She part of Disney best theme ride and an essential part of the parks.

Lucasfilm choosing this film first should be act as healthy dose of reality for those who think she's an unpopular character.

 

Okie dokie. We'll see.

 

Well, they are the entire reason there's a franchise so they must be pretty good.

 

EXACTLY, @NunbNuts! The thing that young Star Wars fans don't 'get' is what a monumental seachange the original SW film ignited. It completely revolutionized the film industry. It was never the same after George gobsmacked audiences with his sci-fi film back in 1977. One could argue that today's 'blockbusters' (e.g. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3) can be traced directly back to the success of George's first Star Wars film and its two sequels.
