SPECULATION You may not Live to See the Final Star Wars Movie

That doesn't really depress me too much. I already know I've seen the best 3 they'll ever make.


I'm excited for the new film and all, but looking at all the unnecessary spin off films and things planned, we're very close to the point of where they're just milking it if we're not there already. I'm sure the Star Wars BRAND will continue until people are sick of it, hate it, and then like it all over again, Disney will continue it until they burn it out, which could be forever. The Star Wars brand will always go on, but will the Star Wars heart? I'm not so sure, and that's ultimately what I consider to be Star Wars, not just something with the name or characters slapped on it. So while I may not live to see the last Star Wars movie, I know I've seen all of the Star Wars movies that matter, the "real" ones, if that makes sense.



And my first introduction to Star Wars was on VHS a couple years before the Special Editions were released. I loved it immediately (5 years old), and I loved the special editions too when I was a kid (7). My dad got them for me and my siblings, and we always used to watch them together. My mom would get tired of me watching them on a loop, lol, but both of my parents supported my Star Wars "obsession". It was a week before my 9the birthday when The Phantom Menace came out, and I liked it as a kid, but I didn't love it like I did the original films. If I hadn't seen the original films beforehand, and The Phantom Menace had been my first exposure to Star Wars, I probably would have just liked the movie but as just some movie I saw in the theater. I don't think I'd have become a huge fan, follower, and collected all the toys (micro machines), etc.

 

Hopefully I live long enough to see them finally kill off Boba Fett

I kind of disagree on a few points. I'm pretty sure it's the nostalgia speaking and I'm sure you would have loved the prequels just as much as you love the original trilogy had you seen them first as a kid. Many of the younger generation of today grew up with the prequels and they loved them but when they saw the original trilogy for the first time they greatly disliked it. I love both but I have to look at them with childlike eyes. Do you really think you would find the Speeder Bike scene impresive if you had seen the Podracers first? What would your impresion be if you had seen Duel of Fates as your first Jedi vs Sith confrontation and much later you would have seen the Ben vs Vader duel on the first Death Star? I loved Tauntauns as a kid but I would never have loved them more than I did an Ackley had I seen it first. What you consider ''real'' does indeed look silly and outdated in the eyes of the new generation of SW fans. I love the original trilogy with all my heart as I am one of those lucky fans that had the honor of growing up with it but I do indeed think that though it might be very hard to topple, maybe one day there might indeed be a SW trilogy that way surpases the original.

 

My first introduction to Star Wars was seeing it in the theater in 1977 during its original release. I loved it immediately (5 years old).

With all the amazing storytelling opportunities the franchise affords I have to say I'm a bit underwhelmed with the spin off choices they made so far

You don't like something do it yourself and I tried
We tried to get a sci-fi fantasy franchise moved into video games or animation
It's been a traditional RPG for 25 years but after 6 years of trying to get investors and exhausting my life's savings we had to close up shop. Guess it was for the best cause a few months later Disney bought star wars. I'm sure had we continued most would say we were just trying to cash in on the star wars craze. As it was people would say "oh! Like Mass Effect?" (Even though we had started trying to get a video game made before Mass Effect existed)

Guess it was a good franchise. It inspired the writer that wrote knights of the old republic
(I saw our books behind him on the shelf during an interview)

But whatever... Just for fun I wish we could continue the web comic we did... It had started to gain traction and seemed to be popular with readers. Funny enough the character was a scavenger like Rey living in an old wreck on a backwater world. The main difference was she lived in No Man's Land between two waring hives of an insectoid species. She also talked to her gun, who was artificially intelligent (kind of like a sci-fi version of the D&D Intelligent Sword). She's a genetically engineered species that was created by a madman to cause havoc within the Alliance. In the Franchise, the PR machine pitched the Alliance to new species like it was the Star trek Federation but it was more like the Star Wars Empire



As a last ditch effort to keep going we tried crowdfunding (it was still a relatively new concept at the time). One of perks was going to be a spoof T-Shirt



One way we still are rather unique is it focuses on the aliens, not the Humans. Humans exist but they are the youngest space faring species and only got into deep space with the help of another race.

Now that Star Wars is here to stay I guess it really is a dead dream.

With so many movies coming out it will end up like the MCU... there will be some great movies to watch.. and some will be blast.. but at least there will be some good ones.

 

I'm older than you, @Old Biff from the Future
I'm so old I might not live to see this movie!
As long as they make Star Wars movies, I'll watch them. Laissez les bon temps rouler!

 

The first time I've seen a star wars movie I must've been 5 years old. My dad had the OT on VHS and my remember my favorite movie was ROTJ. When my dad took me to see episode 3 I was 13 years old. I'm currently 24. I'm pretty confident I will see a ton of Star Wars before I leave this world.

 

Well I'm sure it's not the nostalgia speaking, I can give several reasons why the original trilogy is objectively better, but since you mention the speeder bike scene, that was actually never one of my favorite parts in Return Of The Jedi...and the podracer scene in Phantom Menace was cool to me as a kid, but not as exciting as the lightsaber duel with Maul, and they hyped it up more than it was worth, IMO -- and that's the 8 year old's impression.

I thought the speeder bike chase in Return Of The Jedi was neat, but it never made sense to me that they would go so fast when there's so many trees around. The space battle scenes for me is what really helped hook me in the original trilogy, and I'll take the space battle in Return Of The Jedi over the speeder bike scene and anything that happened in the prequels. In fact, I'll take all of the battle sequences from the original trilogy, especially the space scenes, over anything that happened in the prequels. They were just cooler to me, the ships had better designs, the assault on the Death Star in Episode 4 feels real. The prequels don't have anything that compares to that.

The original films had chicken walkers (AT-STs)....those things were badass. That whole sequence to me in ROTJ was cooler than the speeder bike chase or any podrace. Half of Star Wars to me was the ships, and the prequels hardly had any good ones, and the ones that were good weren't nearly as cool as the ones in the OT.

Most of the good ships in the prequels were in Episode 1, I think. I liked the naboo starfighter, the droid starfighter (but I never liked that it reminded me of a TIE Fighter), Queen Amidala's ship, the Republic Cruiser, the Federation ships, the droid tanks, the droid carriers and landing crafts on naboo, the flash speeder, and the gungan ship, but I didn't like them as much as the original ships. Mostly because I have some minor gripes with them: Naboo starfighter had a really sleak and simplistic design, and that is why I liked it, but that's also part of my problem with it since it was supposed to be in the PAST, and technology gets smoother/more compact as it goes along, so this ship would have made more sense in the sequel trilogy than the prequels, IMO. The prequels needed more ships with that "gritty", "lived in" quality that the OT ships had, and needed to look even more primitive instead of advanced, and that's probably my biggest problem with most of those ships.

The only thing that the prequels had that I really looked forward to as a kid were the lightsaber fights....I liked Obi Wan, but the characters weren't anywhere near as likable and memorable to me as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewie, Leia, even old Ben Kenobi. I always liked the OT fights as a kid, and what was going on during them: Obi Wan becoming one with the force, the banter between Darth Vader and Obi Wan, the sense of history, the Emperor attempting to manipulate Luke, seeing Like and Vader on "equal" grounds in ROTJ, watching Luke fight for his life in Empire against the man he thinks killed his father and killed Obi Wan....I thought the fight scenes on their own out of context were also cool. Whereas the prequel fights are mostly just cool sword fights, and I enjoyed them on that level, and thought they were awesome. They were examples of what the jedi were like in their prime, so it all fit to me as a kid.


But when I said "real", I don't mean in terms of special effects so much as a genuine, sincere idea, artistic creativity and originality, which the OT is full of, before the greed of needing to generate more money and commercialize itself became the chief interest, which is what it is now. Now, originality, story, character, etc is all secondary, and if it ends up being good it's in spite of itself, not because of itself. It used to be the toys, merchandise, commercials, etc came AFTER a movie was successful, and that's why A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, and most of Return Of The Jedi is purer and more sincere to me, they didn't know for sure just what they had then. Now all they see is $$$$, which is why -- and I hate to say it -- but that's why we're even getting an Episode 7 in the first place now. Hopefully it just turns out to be good.

Anyway that's what I meant when I referred to the "heart" of Star Wars and it being something "real", as opposed to now where it just plagiarizes itself because now Star Wars has a "formula" for "success" according to studio heads, instead of just telling an original new story. Now all new heroes must parallel Luke. There must be a super weapon because that worked in the first movie. And there must be a big twist because that happened in Empire Strikes Back. These are demands the movies have to be built around instead of forming something original and natural because people who couldn't create Star Wars if their lives depended on it have broken this down as the "formula" for what makes a metric f*ck ton of money with a Star Wars movie....simply because it happened once before and made a lot of money. Now they want to stay in that safe zone and keep doing the same thing again and again.....which is why The Force Awakens is basically a remake of A New Hope, plot wise, among other things.

 

The first one I seen was TESB. I was 10 or 11. I was hooked. My older bro and I saw it at the Theatre.
,
I will pick and choose what I see. Depends on what interests me with the side movies. I will for sure see Rogue One and the Han Solo movies.

And of course the ST.

But I sure don't want to ger burned out on them. I love SW but oversaturation might not be a good thing

 

Sorry, long post incoming. I have a lot of thoughts on this one.

While it's cool to think that Star Wars could go on forever (and in some ways, it will), there is a part of me that is really scared about this prospect. Based on my guess of the average age of people on here, most of us have the chance to live another 40-60 years. The idea of 50 more Star Wars movies is kind of gross. I don't care how much I like chocolate ice cream, I can't eat it everyday. At some point I'll get sick of it. And I don't want anyone to ever get sick of Star Wars.

In my opinion, one of the things that has made Star Wars maintain it's popularity is that so far it's been an event - something that only occurs every 15 years or so. It goes away just long enough for you to miss it and celebrate it's return. That's how nostalgia is built, and why you have generations of fans passing it on to their children and grandchildren. If Star Wars becomes an annualized franchise from here to eternity, that magic is lost. Please Disney, don't Call of Duty-lize Star Wars!

But for any of you that might share my concerns, here's why I think we don't have to worry. If you are a person in your late 20s to early 40s, you probably will see a "final" Star Wars movie. Don't get me wrong. I think for the next decade or two we're going to get a ton of Star Wars movies. But that momentum is going to peak, and eventually Star Wars will need to be put away for awhile.

First, despite the success of the MCU, no other company has yet been able to replicate what they've done. There are plenty of companies that are trying, but the verdict is still out if any will actually succeed. We're still waiting to see what happens with DC, Transformers, Universal Monsters and numerous others I'm probably forgetting to mention. Nobody yet knows where the saturation point is or if Marvel was just a lucky accident. But mark my words, these movie universes are products and every product goes through a life cycle. These franchises, Marvel included, will see growth, maturity, saturation and eventually... decline. It's not a matter of if but when. And it's how a company handles that decline if people ever want it to return.

And second, Star Wars is fairly unique in that it has maintained a single continuity for almost 40 years. That's crazy! Think about this. There are children who are going to see The Force Awakens whose own parents weren't even a thought in their grandparents' minds when A New Hope was in the theater! And yet these kids still know who Luke and Darth Vader are! But eventually...eventually...the backstory of Star Wars is going to be too dense for new fans to jump on board. And sadly, even our beloved Star Wars franchise will eventually need to be rebooted.

Maybe it will be a soft reboot where a new trilogy takes place so far in the future of the GFFA that nothing we grew up with even matters any more. Or more likely, we'll eventually get a retelling of the story of Luke Skywalker. It's human nature to retell stories, and it's happened to pretty much all of our favorite characters throughout history. Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes, Snow White, Cinderella, Superman, Captain Kirk - they've all had their stories retold. Even Optimus Prime and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been rebooted. Would it be cool if 100 years from now stories are still being added to the original Star Wars timeline? Heck yes! But in all likelihood, this isn't going to happen. You will see a final story to "our" version of Star Wars.

But despite what I think, there is a way Disney could extend the life of Star Wars if they wanted to. As a matter of fact, if I could give Disney a friendly piece of advice it would be this. Go ahead with your plan for the sequel trilogy and three anthologies over the next six years. But then...STOP. You're the company that invented the Disney Vault so you understand how nostalgia works and how to build up demand for your classics. Put Star Wars movie-making in the metaphorical Disney Vault for the next decade. And then in 2030, you can announce Episodes X, XI and XII. Just in time for kids who grew up with the sequel trilogy to start getting nostalgic and wanting to relive it with their children.

 

Haha well ranking it so high so soon seems a bit preemptive to me, but no, I don't have a lot of confidence in the filmmakers because Hollywood mostly sucks and is expert at ruining things these days.

That said, there's also other reasons: I know just logically that they will never make another character as cool and iconic as Darth Vader, or Luke, Han, R2-D2, 3PO, Chewie, Leia, etc...there will never be another ship as cool as the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars, the X-wings, TIEs, etc. They'll never make the same cultural impact the original trilogy characters and films did, they'll never be as iconic, and they'll never be as original/memorable. The most they can hope for is to just be good and worthy additions to the mythos, which is why the less they try to make them like characters (and places) we've seen before (as far as creativity goes, not quality/likable/relatability), the better.

Which is why I'm kinda bummed out at the moment with some of the new characters/direction....so far, Finn is the most intriguing to me character-wise because he's a stormtrooper who is defecting, and we've never seen that transition before in the movies. I guess Poe is probably the second new character I'm most interested in, we've never chronicled a rebel soldier as intimately as it seems like we may do with Poe in the film, and that excites me. But Kylo looks like he's trying to be Vader 2.0 even down to his costume and voice, Darth Poser is more like it, and I hate that crossguard lightsaber, that's got to be one of the laziest/most unoriginal things I can think of to have done in a Star Wars movie, and Rey is just a female version of Luke, but "tougher" and "harder" of course, because god forbid a woman be vulnerable and need help once in a while.

But hey, we haven't seen the movie yet, and I could be totally wrong. I hope I am, but that's just the perception I have right now.

I agree with a lot of your points, but the difference between Star Wars and something like Superman or James Bond is that Star Wars is one big singular story, with a beginning, middle, and end....kinda like the original Wizard Of Oz -- but Superman, James Bond, Sherlock Holmes, etc, aren't really like that, and the only way they are is if you're adapting a specific story about them, like Batman and Dark Knight Returns, for instance, and following that particular comic/story to a T.

Superman, Batman, etc, are characters who have backgrounds and a basic set of rules with which to adhere to with them that define them, but they can be copied and pasted into almost any story you want to tell with the characters. Star Wars isn't designed to be serialized like that -- I mean, they SAY it's serialized in the sense that it's inspired by old Flash Gordon serials, but it really isn't serialized at all: the characters change from episode to episode, they develop, they get older, they die, etc, they have a very set story, the status quo is always changing for them, whereas something like Superman is he's always between 29 and 35 years old, he is Clark Kent, he's a reporter and works with Lois, Jimmy, his archenemy is Lex Luthor, etc, there are personality traits and visuals that must be present to define him as Superman, and that's consistent in every Superman story. Superman is the same age today as he was in 1938, and that's the way we like him, that's how he works and what the character is, and they just take that and tell new stories with him, which is what they've been doing for nearly 80 years. Indiana Jones is probably much a more serialized character than Star Wars, and it's easier to accept someone else in the role and just telling a new story with that character, like James Bond.

Star Wars and the Star Wars characters aren't really like that though. Luke is an "old man" now, Darth Vader is dead and turned out to be his dad, Leia turned out to be his sister, etc, the Star Wars characters aren't meant to be serialized that way, they're more dependent on "legacy" to remain relevant rather than rebooting and retellings.

How could they reboot Star Wars anyway without telling the exact same story? If they go back and try to redo the bumpier things in the OT like Leia being Luke's sister for instance, the whole franchise sort of comes apart now. The only way Star Wars should ever be remade is if one day the technology with which we entertain ourselves has made movies completely irrelevant, and we can't look at Star Wars without seeing how "dated" it is in every scene, THEN they could remake it, because by then it will have faded into obscurity and its contributions to culture will have been completely absorbed and assimilated to the point of where it seems monolithic to people and is now irrelevant.

But right now, Star Wars still has that timelessness to it like the Wizard Of Oz still does in terms of quality, and I don't think that reboot should happen until a very, VERY longtime from now when most of the people on this board have went on to become one with the force, if at all.

 

You make some interesting points my friend but you know where the problem really lies? It's in us hardcore fans. You see, there are movie series like Godzilla that have been going on ever since I can remember and they have a strong following yet Godzilla comes and goes and we see what we like and what we don't we don't see it and it really doesn't bother us. Star Wars is another thing and sometimes it's us fans who really are extremly demanding as we want each and every thing SW to be to our liking or else. Disney may be thinking in many posiblities but we want everything SW to be for us and that's where the fans can get to a point where they will prefer for SW to die than to go on living if what they make is not to their liking. I have become aware that people want everything to go on perfectly as they desire and they bash anyone who thinks likewise. You can't say that you think that Bossk is better than Boba Fett without having people complain and in the case of this site, slap negative quotes on you simply because you don't agree with the mayority. This is something that I think will be a major factor in the upcoming movies because we want everything for us to be awesome but saddly that is not going to happen. Each generation has their favorites and the time is going to come when Disney will choose stories and characters that the hardcore fans don't want to see and that's when all hell will break loose. Take Fett and Han for example. I have heard that they are planing on making anthology movies about them. I would rather see an anthology movie of Bossk or Tessek than seeing those movies already planned. We already know so much about Han and Fett but Tessek and Bossk didn't do anything in the movies. I know maybe this won't happen but imagine if it did, would those movies really suck or would diehard Boba fans just bash the movie because they prefered to use Bossk instead of Fett? What happens when Disney gets to making movies about someone many of us don't like but the new generation does? Does that mean that Disney burned down the fanchise or does that mean that we can't accept that not all movies will be made with the OT fans in mind? That is what I think is the real problem cause many of us fans don't know when to back down and simply decide that said SW movie is not for us. I can asure you that PT haters would still go to the movies if movies of Jar Jar, Watto and Sebulba are made. Why they would do this I don't know but fans don't seem to want to accept that some things are just not for them. We have to have this in mind for the future of the SW franshise if we hope to keep loving it and not grow bored with it. Movies about Ree Yees, Amanaman, 4-LOM, Embo and Durge would have me in the theatre with high hopes but what happens if movies are made for the Jek Porkins, Jar Jar and Ben Quadinaros fans? Shouldn't I at least expect these movies not to be for me and know that if I pay money to see them, I might come back home bummed? Maybe I hate them but does that mean that said movies sucked? Not at all. It's just that it's a diferent generation and I can't expect everything to be made for me. I come from a time when Thundercats, Silverhawks, He-Man, M.A.S.K, Transformers and G.I. Joe were the best of the best. I can't comprehend how the generations that followed prefered Ed EDD and Eddy, Sponge Bob, Codename Kids Next Door, Catdog and Cow and Chicken over the cartoons I loved but that's the way things are. Are those cartoons a piece of trash? To me they are compared to the ones I loved but to their generation they were awesome and they would see my favorites as lame. Are they wrong? Am I wrong? It just depends on a certain point of view and I think that's what SW fans should think before expecting every single movie to be to their liking. We have to learn when something is just not meant for us.

 

I will not die. I will learn to cheat death just like Plagueis!... oh wait

 

Same here, saw ESB first on TV when i was 8, i think it's the way to go, nothing can be better than watch the best Star Wars movie first, and then discover there are more 2 of them.

 

I only see this as a good thing.

Disney is about as big as it gets, so we will be getting quality movies seemingly indefinitely.

Bring it on - a new movie every year, great.

It could get to a point where the spinoffs have ongoing films, concurrent with whatever mainline story or STORIES have going on.

There is SO MUCH, literally a universe in scale, to draw from the EU, and so much more that can be created. We can go lightyears in any direction, and thousands of years in time in either direction.

This allows for something for everyone that is a scifi/epic anthology fan - Star Wars, traditionally speaking, or not.

Of course we can continue with the mainline lore indefinitely and each gen of viewers could get a new, relatable gen of characters on screen. Each iteration would be further from the OT, but that's how chronology works - both IRL and in the movie frames of reference.

Not to mention countless side characters and stories to elaborate on from the beloved OT. Say what you will about the PT, but an entire movie came about from 5 seconds of dialogue about The Clone Wars.

Imagine how exponential that could get from a storytelling perspective. Well, you don't have to imagine too hard because we have seen DECADES of comics and novels doing just that with no end in sight, and not only does the subject matter not limit the imagination causing production to slow, but we've seen it increase and grow.

Of course there will be lulls and booms and busts intra-franchise. But there will always be moviegoers and they will include hipsters that like the OT even though they were born well after. Or maybe they have familial memories of dear ol' dad playing the OT.

It will get so timeless that eventually you'll have an entire new gen of future fans that will see the PT on CLASSIC MOVIE CHANNELS lol

But none of this detracts from OT. OT isn't destroyed, but elevated by all of this.

As long as they keep quality high and the content relevant to fans both new and old, this industry will absolutely continue indefinitely.

It's already approaching 40 years as a franchise. And it's picking up momentum.

An extended cinematic production is not some fad to fall out of favor. Unless going to movies somehow becomes obsolete. And SW as content will continue indefinitely, so I absolutely disagree with those that think this will fall off at some point.

I think Disney will print Billions indefinitely. Movies drive franchise and games sales, let alone the actual box office/media sales.

And there's no need to expect the content to get stale or played out. It doesn't even require a reboot per se as again there is so much to get into.

The franchise, cinematically speaking, is dynamic by nature allowing movies that will continue to be relevant and interesting to consumers.

The formula will be tweaked via story and characters and approach to keep it going. Even if they get a flop here or there (think Green Lantern for DC cinema), with enough time they can reapproach or just write it off entirely as the mass of the other work will raise the tide and more than make up for a loss or disinterest in one singular branch of the greater universe. Say Rogue One falls flat, we always have the other spinoffs or the main story. And I don't think it will for the record. Maybe we'll get a Fett SERIES and Disney could crush it with that instead.



I can also appreciate what this means as a fan of specific content inside the EU. Maybe I won't get Plagueis in the ST. Oh well, maybe he'll see the light of day in a DARK PREQUEL.

I've said before that antiheroes and antivillains are gaining in popularity in film. Consider Deadpool or Suicide Squad or Spawn etc.

An entire spinoff or series from the Dark perspective, perhaps Sith Chronicles, would be amazing and refreshing from the litany of 'good guy' films.

Now maybe that's not Disney's formula but they have so much to work with the possibilities are literally endless. It could be done if done right, and I have faith in the studio itself but also the quality of talent already brought into the fold. And I think this will just snowball and attract even more talent over time.

Maybe it could be the Dark Horse (Dark Mouse) subsidiary of Disney. Disney After Dark if you will.



Oh well, fingers crossed. No one has a crystal ball (or a crystal skull), but Disney is not stupid, neither are the LFL and other execs. 4 BILLION spent seems like a lot, but they will make 10X that. More really, if you consider the possibilities of this train going on forever like some at the top seem to think it will.

 

im only 13 so i may not live to see episode 12

--- Double Post Merged, Nov 30, 2015, Original Post Date: Nov 30, 2015 ---

we have countless charecters that we can build on Ashoka,Ezra,Kanan,Zeb,Sabine,Hera,Cad Bane,etc

 

Not to sound pessimistic or anything but it's two minutes to midnight, if you know what I mean. We'll be lucky if we get to see IX.

Edit

Wait a minute, that sounds pretty pessimistic right. On a brighter note, I dreamed I saw The Force Awakens last night and after a confusing crawl that didn't stick the camera moved through space, closing in on a Star Destroyer, closer, closer, until it "entered" the hangar bay of said Destroyer, where a batallion of TPM battle droids were playing in an orchestra (playing the background music).

Wait another minute, that's pessimistic too. Daw
Still, the image of a battle droid with cymbals and battle droids with an assortment of trumpets, horns etc. just won't leave my mind today..

 

My kids (7 and 5 years old) disagree. I'm preparing them for TFA awakens and showed them both the OT and the PT (OT first, PT afterwards). They are perhaps a bit too young to get hung up over technical details and wether a visual effect is photorealistic or not. No nostalgia factor here. In fact all six films probably look 'dated' in a way to someone who was born after the PT.
The stories and characters are what mattered most to them. It didn't come as a surprise to me that they liked the OT far more than they did the PT and that was because of the princess, the wizard (Obi Wan and later Yoda), Luke, the friendship between Han and Luke, Chewie, the funny robots, the evil that is Vader and Palpatine and so on.

They enjoyed the action scenes in the PT but found large portions of those films just plain boring. Taxations and Trade federations indeed!

I can't wait for the 19th when I'm taking them to an afternoon screening of TFA ... Boy are they (we) looking forward to it. I'm just grateful they'll get to see a true Star Wars film in the cinema at that age. Fingers crossed it'll be as good as the trailers promise.

 

Pardon my saying but IIRC some of the latest Disney movies like Lone Ranger or Tomorrowland didn't really do too well.
