People were on the prequel hate train almost as hard as they're currently on the sequel hate train now, until the younger millennials and zoomers who watched them as kids grew up and started contributing to the Internet in a meaningful way. Playing it safe was DEFINITELY the right call. Besides, it's not like it brought nothing new to the table. I was actually QUITE fond of how they deconstructed some of the ideas of the originals and presented the rather topical generational struggle in the context of a borderline remake that left on a radically different trajectory than the original. It's a shame about 8 and 9 though. I thought 8 at least had a few interesting ideas in it, but 9 was just bad. In what way did TFA end on a different trajectory? Killing the New Republic made the Resistance the same as the Rebellion. Snoke is an obvious narrative copy of Palatine. A New Jedi Order founded by a person that beat Vader by not fighting him would struggle with a new with threat but instead of that new avenue we got a repeat of the last of the Jedi are in hiding. What exactly is new? RetuenOfDevsman posted... If I had to guess, the cutting room floor was positively littered with scenes that would have explained/fixed everything. Just like Lost, JJ never had a plan to explain. --- "Something's wrong! Murder isn't working and that's all we're good at." ~Futurama <cite>bfslick50 posted [p:979268885] in C/D: Force...
