| Topic | Who is to blame for the failures of the Star Wars sequel trilogy? |
| DarkRoast 08/07/21 6:33:57 PM #15: | Abrams would have made a safe, predictable trilogy. The third movie wouldn't have needed to spend such a large amount of time deliberately undoing the second film, which would've helped. Johnson's film suggested he would probably have taken the more "expanded universe" route by introducing moral ambiguity (IE, the Jedi are too dogmatic, the Sith too self-destructive, etc). You could tell he was trying to set up Rey to be less "good" and Kylo to be less "evil" without either having to suddenly reject the light/dark in some weird epiphany. Knights of the Old Republic II's Kreia was a perfect example of a character that would make this sort of thing work. I probably would've liked Johnson's films more, just because Star Wars really needs some subversion. It's just too good/evil black/white. Winds up feeling far too predictable (RoS being the shining example of this). But ironically, TLJ probably ruined this new trilogy simply because it started and ended with Abrams. --- Razer Blade 15 - Core i7-9750H, 32 GB RAM (2666), RTX 2080 MQ ... Copied to Clipboard! |
