Re: Disney ruined my childhood
Yeah, they reboot the Khan character and totally miscast the recast.
Also, Abrams has no clue how to do the slow burn tense space battle. Those reboot movies have Shatner rolling in his grave....and he ain't even dead yet.

Re: Disney ruined my childhood
There are many books and graphic novels regarding the Star Wars franchise and after Disney took over, most of them have been declared "legends" to introduce their own timeline resulting in e.g. Rey being Sheev Palpatine's granddaughter and other nonsense ...
Life is what happens while you make other plans.

Re: JJ Abrams ruined my childhood
This is a company failure at so many levels. They developed one of the most beloved franchises, with one of the most critical fan bases, with no plan? That level of incompetence and/or arrogance is just beyond me.SPerman wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 7:27 am image.png

I can only blame J.J Abrams and Rian Johnson so far....someone else gave them free range to do what they wanted with no oversight. I blame Kathleen Kennedy mostly.

Re: Disney ruined my childhood
They had material already that was good and accepted by the community. Rey and Kylo Ren should've been Jaina and Jacen Solo. They wouldn't be able to do the early years due to actor ages but could've handled it in flashbacks.
Disney literally had material handed to them on a silver platter.

Need a happy ending.
All they need to do was make movies from all the books.

In my mind for the last 30 years, the Thrawn series has been the true sequels (Episodes 7-9).Frederick_Law wrote: ↑Thu Jan 12, 2023 9:23 am All they need to do was make movies from all the books.

This problem is apparently contagious. Looking at you Amazon and your Rings of Power series.

Re: Disney ruined my childhood
I just learned about this. Fans are scanning the original theatrical release and converting it to 4K digital.

Re: Disney ruined my childhood
The sequel game Hollywood has been playing for the last decade has hopefully come to a end, the bean counters have realised it needs altering.
