That’s because you didn’t read the sequel novels like I said dark empire, thrawn or of the solo twins and the Vong War, you took the anti sequels as legit Star Wars, when it was a copy paste of the original trilogy with some of their hidden tweaks (WOKE)
SW Obi-Wan Trailer Disappointment
I did actually. Read over 30 of em. Comics too. Stopped when Jacen and Jaina were teenagers, i found them annoying and turned Chewie into comic relief when they were toddlers. Like Fred Flintstone chasing Pebbles into a washing machine all over again. Those zany hijinks!! How i hated them. But the Thrawn Trilogy was brilliant. As was Darksaber, Dark Empire 1 &2. I think i have 3, but havent read it yet. Kyle Katarn is my favorite EU character. And I’m ok with the sequels. No one is crazy about a complete reboot, but you can’t just assume it’s gonna suck. There was plenty of sucky EU content, lest we forget Children of the Jedi and the Swarm trilogy placing Luke, Han n Leia against giant bugs, or Red Harvest following a frickin Jedi botanist… 🤦♂️. Things could always improve, but don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. And the only thing I count as woke in the sequels was Holdo, and she died anyway.
But they made Luke a failure even the actor himself hated it
Jedis fail. It’s kinda their move. Yoda failed Dooku and really every other padawan, cuz he was the gand master and taught the younglings personally, then lost to Palpatine. Went into exile. Obi Wan failed his best friend, Anakin. Went into exile. Luke failed his nephew because his own fame went to his head and he started liking the smell of his own farts. Pride comes before the fall. He admits as much. Went into exile. He damn near did the same thing he did to Kylo to Vader at the mere mention that Leia could be corrupted. Skywalkers have anger issues. Anyone can fail (you even posted that amazing video about it), but far worse is to never get up and try again. Plus, the sequels do a great job of showing the consequences of actions. Plans don’t always work out perfectly. Sometimes you don’t get to see friends again in a war setting. This was something the OG trilogy mostly failed to show. The only important good characters that died were Obi Wan and Yoda. Now, if say, Chewie had died, we’d have felt that and loved him even more and missed him. Like how we felt when all the main cast in Rogue one died. War has consequences. And in life, you can never stop learning lessons. Otherwise, you turn into some stuffy, tenured college professor with their head up their ass, cozily nestled in their classroom cocoon. And that’s bad. Luke still had some learning to do. I get that Hamill wanted to come back and be super awesome, who wouldn’t, but he was mature enough to be a professional and do a great job. If you like, I’ll begin a new thread and do a long form review of each and debate them.
That’s what Disney wanted! 😡 They totally disregarded the fact it was prophecy of the chosen one which was not a messianic Jedi to restore order but a fallen one repenting and defeating the dark side which was Lucas attempt, since during that time there was a lot of child abandonment issues and Vader represented those fathers who would be a father and apologize to their children! Then Disney dose something worse CREATE A SITH PROPHECY AND THAT THE FALL OF THE JEDI (because they were men) THEN IT PUT REY IN THE POSITION OF THE JEDI AS A AVATAR! Or as she puts it THE FORCE IS A WOMAN! (Feminism) WOKE! And whatever you want 😁
There is never any mention of it being because of men anywhere. I get that Kathy Kennedy wanted more women in SW, but there’s actually literally no mention of that anywhere in there. That’s nonsense. And, I’ll add, were it Leia, or if she’d had a daughter and she was the hero throughout the sequels, no one would’ve raised an eyebrow. Like Jaina Solo. Not one person would’ve bitched if Jaina Solo were the lead.
Plus, did we not think that Star Wars would continue after ROTJ? Of course! It already had, with the unofficial EU. If the prophecy had the Sith end with ROTJ, then almost none of the EU would even exist. No Heir to the Empire, no Dark Forces series, none of that stuff. You’d only get stuff like Shadows of the Empire, which was fine, but you’re still limiting it to one Era.
Now, I wish the whole trilogy had been better planned like the MCU, or the Prequels, sure, that way TROS would seem more coherent, but they also had to scramble with the loss of Carrie Fisher. That movie was supposed to be her big moment in the trilogy aaaaand she died. I have my own ideas on what should’ve been done, but it was ok. A little Avengers-y, but still ok. Lots of loose ends to clean up tho.
Exactly
Ya the Jedi academy series
Um Thrawn has nothing to do with the force but the complicated re structuring of the Republic against remnant imperial forces and how diplomacy and alliances can bond enemies to defeat a common foes
Rest her soul 😔
How no one died came back?
Thrawn was tied to C’Boath in Heir to the Empire, don’t forget. Still got force stuff there. And, be honest, do you really want only political/military SW stories and no more light side v dark side stuff?
And you’ve proved my point about Jaina Solo. It wasn’t some anti-male thing making Rey the lead. Just a choice. Now, not liking that it wasn’t EU characters the whole time is another issue entirely. Not a battle of the sexes issue.
There’s still room and time for Luke to have his jedi academy. He will. The seeds are sown.
The end of TROS where all the ships showed up to save Poe and Finn with Lando at the helm is quite reminiscent of the return of all the disappeared characters in Avengers Endgame and Palpatine being the Thanos level threat… “I am inevitable…I am Iron man”… “I am all the sith… I am all the jedi”.
See it now?
Clone doesn’t count, his power is not as strong and dark as the Emperor who was literally able to summon force storms
I’m mixed, I mean I use to but clone wars changed my mind, it’s not all just armies fighting but small details like padmes speech
How she’s better then Rey and a actual relative, I’d be happy if they made one of her…and her twin who became a Sith Lord and the clash was awesome
I wouldn’t mind if they brought legends characters back like Kyle and ugh forgot rest ya know kip and stuff
Never will I watch them ever!
Bruh… C’Boath counts. And Kyp Durron and all that count, if you take the EU stuff seriously. You can’t pick n choose. Now, it being legends these days gives a little more flexibility, but he still counts, and you know it. Don’t give me that guff.
Well, I’ve never liked Jacen, Jaina, Anakin Solo or any of that stuff. I found it annoying. Han and Leia should’ve used protection. Im happy they’re gone. Now, Mara Jade showing up in a Luke show would be nice.
You mean to say you haven’t watched any of the sequels? None?
YOU A HOLE!
And nope never will ever!…but for research purposes I read the books and still doesn’t justify anything they did
Watch them and then decide. Same as I am with Harry Potter currently.
Never!
I can complain, I don’t have to watch it hmph 😤
Then I demand you change your name here and profile pic to Debbie Downer.
Even if I knew how I’d never do it NEVEEEEEEEEEEEER! Lol
Maybe Kass and I can figure it out…
Nope
