Disney has gotten so much bad news lately, I wonder if they could actually fail at this point.

Their movies have have been successful at the box office, but outside of the MCU movies they haven't been universally liked. If people get tired of bad Star Wars movies, remakes of old movies, lack of original content, and even MCU movies what will happen to Disney?

Bad news doesn't mean much when the bad films still make near billions.

Well the Sequel Trilogy is the only trilogy that is truly Disney. Makes sense.

Not our fault the ST was trash. They should have followed George Lucas' sequel outline. At least he has interesting universe ideas.

Dude had to be on some super drugs to think basing the park of some original planet instead of one of the ones everyone already knew about would be a good idea. Remember when Iger came out a year ago and said Solo flopped because of Star Wars fatigue and refused to properly place the blame on KK and her terrible management of the brand? And now this nonsense comes to light. Dude has been terrible for Star Wars.

Yes they fucking should. It was his story from.the beginning. Finish it out to complete the saga, then let Disney do what they want with spin offs and remakes.

It couldn't have been worse than what they came up with.

Also, as said above, it is his story. Disney can make their own Star Wars movies.

When the Disney/Star Wars deal was struck before Episode VII, Lucas offered himself as a sort of creative consultant. He would allow Disney to write and direct, but there was a story he wanted to be told.

Disney declined. Unsure knows exactly what the story was about since it was never made. There are hints from interviews and such since the 70s. Hamill seemed to know something about it. Not surprised Lucas would share a bit with the lead character.

I remember it some themes to include an emphasis on the force and legacy. Probably had to do with more of Vader's grandkids and Luke's new Jedi Order.

Imo, George Lucas was setting Plagueis as main baddie. Never got to explain how or why Anakin was created. The sequels would have tied up all loose ends.

The prequels were already worse than every Disney Star Wars movie. Lucas burned all his credibility.

This is such a bad take considering that Star Wars money maker was always the merchandise and branding.

The PT still produced iconic characters, memorable music, and story we've been waiting for for decades. Yes, it was executed poorly, but the star wars universe flourished in its creativity.

Sure, but... they still made enough to run a small country.

Dialogue may be better, but the story isn't.

Which characters and music in the ST do you believe compares to those in the PT?

Poe is great, Kylo Ren is excellent, Rey is a vulnerable and emotionally selfish version of the typical hero archetype, Luke's story in TLJ is infinitely more interesting than the version from the EU.

The ST has a lot to say about the fallibility of legends and the consequences of arrogance. I like that.

He can be fired anyway. All it takes is shareholder vote.
