Lorenzo_2003 09/04/17 8:36:19 AM #15:	It's Disney. Their biggest claims to fame are theme parks aimed at children and animated movies and toys to promote those movies, and vice versa. I wouldn't say Disney ruined Star Wars (they can throw absurd amounts of money and marketing at both franchises), but everyone should know what we're getting with this union. Star Wars is just Disney's new platform for featuring more princesses, but in space. That is a good thing in its own way. --- ... <cite>Lorenzo_2003 posted [p:885995631] in Did Disney...

K181 09/04/17 9:37:56 AM #27:	Please. Force Awakens and Rogue One were both great and, at the very least, a lot of fun whereas the past three (well, four, including Clone Wars) movies were crap (including Revenge of the Sith, which was just less crap by comparison to the Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, but was still quite bad). Star Wars is fun again. Even if you don't think that the past two entries were great, I can't for the life of me understand how anybody couldn't appreciate the new direction they're taking the films and the breath of vitality that they've received. And the EU was overall trash.

DarthAragorn 09/04/17 5:41:39 PM #40:	Lateral movement IMO Movies are an upgrade in quality but the only video games released/detailed are a step down from what we got before, and the Thrawn Trilogy was a significantly better sequel trilogy than what we seem to be getting so far.

Mr_MacPhisto 09/04/17 5:50:43 PM #43:	I saw TFA on Imax opening night. It was so much fun. Rogue One was pretty decent too. I like what they're doing with their theme parks too. Especially that rumor about them working on a Star Wars hotel like WestWorld where vacationers gets their own character story or something. If it gets too shitty and saturated I'll just not watch the movies. Simple. --- Off with the horns, On with the show! <cite>Mr_MacPhisto posted [p:886020440] in Did Disney...
