- Star Wars Disney Plus shows should move away from Jedi-centric stories and explore other aspects of the Star Wars universe
- Andor is a successful example of a Star Wars show without Jedi, focusing on the Empire’s control and morally gray characters
- Suggestions for new Star Wars show ideas include Pod Racing, Jawa Storage Wars, and One Man and His Droid, among others
Hey, 8 tried to tell a different story. It’s a story about how the legend of “Luke Skywalker” is overblown and doesn’t do justice to the man himself or to anyone around him. It’s a story about how war has a big negative effect on the rest of the world, even places far away from the war. It’s a story about how sometimes the world doesn’t work the way myths do, with awesome magic powers and heroic sacrifices. It’s a story about how everyone is important, and the “great man” idea of history is false. Those are stories that Star Wars hasn’t told before.
8 redeemed the mistakes of 5 and fixed Star Wars.
if it was a standalone movie, sure
but it wasn’t a standalone movie
it was a sequel to a movie and basically just served to undo everything 7 did
why make a trilogy if you’re just going to have the first two films cancel out? just make 1 film
Name one thing 8 undid from 7.
snoke as the overarching villain
wow that was difficult
So, you also maintain that 6 undid 5 by killing off the Emperor, right?
setting up a character to serve as a villain for three films then killing them off partway through the second is very clearly different than setting up a character to server as a villain for three films then killing them off at the end of the third film
by the logic you seem to be using, 9 also didn’t undo anything 8 did, which is patently absurd
Snoke wasn’t set up to serve as villain for three films. He was set up to serve for two films, same as the emperor. You’re just salty that your fantheory didn’t come true.
Well it didn’t “undo” anything in 8, it just undercut and betrayed its core themes. That doesn’t erase 8, it just spits in 8’s face.
It’s impossible for 8 to have undercut 7’s core themes, because 7 doesn’t have any.
