Andor is the best Star Wars since the original trilogy. Rogue One too.

I also like Rogue One, but it's easy to imagine a timeline where Disney was actually good and Rogue One ended up the awkward, badly paced reshoot party at the bottom of a heap of good movies.

It did what it set out to do while respecting the OT and not faceplanting, which was a major accomplishment worthy of praise. But it's not a brilliant movie.

Die hards are worried about Disney Star Wars, they crave lots of nostalgia and anything else is bad, force awakens is really complicated, perfect amount of nostalgia, disciplined story, and in the end a good movie that Rey and Kylo Ren fight was crazy.

They only good thing they've done for the IP is greenlighting remasters of classic SW videogames

Good god everything about that project sounds like a DISASTER.

Multiple writers, including Lindelof. New director with no major film experience, just a little TV and "indie shorts". Taking a character with no great promise based around an actress with no major success.

The list of dead, abandoned, or stagnant Star Wars films is endless. Mando and Grogu seems like the only one likely to hit the screen and that's likely to be just a longer episode of the show. But at least it has Favreau attached and he has an impeccable record.

When they are butting heads even with writers of that high caliber and making them quit, it makes me pretty scarexcited to see what monstrosity it will become. I hope they don't abandon it. It would be a glorious and possibly last movie for Kennedy.

I'm assuming its because Lucasarts aka Kathleen Kennedy has a long list of "requirements" for the film that are very difficult for any writer of merit to meet. Agenda first writing is never great. I would think you could gather the core minds of Star Wars (i.e. Filoni, Favreau, maybe even Lucas) and hash out a vision for a new trilogy that could then be farmed out to accomplished action/adventure directors with strength in effects work to flesh out the details, coordinate links between the films to avoid disasters like the TFA-TLJ-ROS "continuity", and then get to work in pre-production to cast roles and film them all in relatively short succession to tell a nice 6-7 hour long story following traditional story and narrative beats. They KNOW what the "audience" wants, the problem is that the head shed DOES NOT LIKE the audience, they would rather try to find a new one and in that they are failing miserably.

The Nerdrotic 10 ten Star Wars failures he put out today is amazing.

 

[Kamina]

“Bad” doesn’t even begin to describe how much they suck at handling the IP

The Nerdrotic 10 ten Star Wars failures he put out today is amazing.

That was a great intro for the show.

 

[GloveSlap]

You would struggle to do worse on purpose.

 

[FunkMiller]

That was a great intro for the show.

Nerdrotic is a massive cunt, but this video is pretty much spot on.

Disney Star Wars is a litany of idiotic failure - brought about by corporate greed, lack of foresight, utter creative bankruptcy, and forced political ideology.

 

[Badlucktroll]

what i feel they should do is bring on george to do a sequel sequel trilogy

 

[Neon Xenon]

Disney Star Wars has had so many fuckups, that it's easy to forget what I actually did like. Andor is my favorite, which still feels weird to say, given that it's not a feature film. But the style of that show was very appealing to me from the very first episode.

Oh no. Not the Rey movie. Everyone was so excited for the continuing adventures of Rey when her solo movie was announced.
