  • It was set after The Rise of Skywalker.
  • Scott Z. Burns was brought in to write a script.
  • He spent 2 years developing it with Steven Soderbergh.
  • Lucasfilm loved the idea but Disney said no: They didnt see how Ben Solo was alive.
Because if there's one thing that Star Wars absolutely does not do, it's bring back characters presumed dead, certainly not characters who have:
  • Fallen into a living pit from which there is no escape
  • Been sliced in half with a lightsaber and fallen into a pit
  • Been tossed down a pit and exploded
Look I'm not saying it was gonna be good. I'm just wondering if there's anything remotely interesting to be looking forward to in Star Wars even for those of us who haven't given up.

Lol. What I want to know is, which slop show was the d+d game of thrones writers in charge of? They've churned out so much stuff, and so far none of it was the canceled star wars project? is that possible

Well, his corpse was literally on screen, versus others falling off somewhere, so i get it not being greenlit.

Truth be told, I'd be more interesting in bringing a vengeful Mace Windu back.
Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

If you look at what got greenlit and released, you just gotta imagine the unwatchable slop that got canned

I'm not convinced Bob Iger is the best arbiter on what is and isn't slop.

I think it was actually a trilogy of movies they were going to make. They got fired i believe from that, when Disney saw how they handled the last season of game of thrones, which they ironically rushed through to get to the star wars movies. Maybe if they hadn't fumbled game of thrones, they would have got their trilogy
I thought everyone hated the sequel trilogy? Now yall are upset they haven't continued the story?
they really have no idea what they are doing with Star Wars

truly sad

Can we just throw out the entire sequel trilogy and chalk it up to time travel crap?

Literally every character is a nothing burger.

Just multiverse your way out of it, honestly.

Though I doubt they'll ever do that. Luke getting married was something George Lucas famously didn't like and wanted to retcon out himself.

That would've been good for Rise of Skywalker.

Somehow, Mace Windu returned too, AND HE'S PISSED OFF!

He didn't fall in a pit therefore he's dead. Han Solo did though, so I look forward to his cgi cyborg return.

This.

The 15 minutes or so that we got was awesome, Driver is a fantastic actor and the way everything from his general body language to his facial expressions changed when he rejected Kylo and became Ben again was great.

Should have happened in the second movie to give more time with Ben, but a lot of things should have happened differently with the ST.
There isn't actually any source on D&D being fired from star wars. The official story is they pulled out for a netflix deal.

It would've been interesting if Ben had survived and spent the rest of his life trying to atone for the things he'd done. Rey should've been the one to kick the bucket.

Even erasing the sequel trilogy from existence wont save the franchise Becuase the OG cast did absolutely fuck all up until said trilogy.

That and for whatever reason they seem to and avoid that era and its characters like the plague. Even though an animated show would be easy. But They seem obsessed with live action for whatever reason.

That and I suspect Kevin

That comment is interesting to me because you can read it in a couple of ways, neither of which is right.

"The OG cast did absolutely fuck all up until said trilogy" implying they individually fucked up pretty thoroughly until the new trilogy

"The OG cast did absolutely fuck all up until said trilogy" implying the actors did fuck all until the new trilogy

The problems with Ben wasn't Adam Driver but the writing and directing.

From a literal standpoint sure. I Didnt think I needed to make that clear so my bad on that part.

I mean be more clear with your argument. Is your criticism that we don't know what they were up to in those three decades? Because we do.

Is your criticism that they didn't make movies out of those 30 years? Legit, I suppose, but be clear about that.

It's not just me thinking your argument is weird. I guess I'm just wondering what you wanted.

George Lucas didn't care very much about what EU authors did, but he did veto some things that too definitively went against his own ideas. For example, since at the time the Thrawn trilogy was being written there had been no indication of what "Dark Lord of the Sith" meant (or that anyone other Vader held that title), Zahn had intended for the Noghri to be the Sith. And he proposed having the evil Jedi Master be a clone of Obi-Wan Kenobi, which was also vetoed.

If he'd actually been so adamantly against Luke getting married, he could've just said "no" when told they were going to publish a story where that happens. Instead, at worst his reaction must have been "I don't care".
"We will end our resilience for bad things." "We have pioneered the fatality rate."

Love Adam Driver and his character was the best part of the trilogy, but no thanks. No reason to undo what was done. If his character status at the end was different I would love it.

I wasnt arguing with anyone. I only said nothing happened but not in a literal sense. More like when someone ask what you did for the day and your reply was nothing.

Which sums up most of those 30 years for the OG trio. Hence the lack of any content, official or otherwise regarding that era vs the prior ones.
