And he has a good reminder, Star Wars isnt for aging adult males anymore so stop expecting it to be aimed at you and grow up and get over it not matching your head canon.

I've always found "its not aimed at you" to be a shitty defense of something

it's just admitting you have no actual rebuttal to valid criticism

I mean the original Star Wars wasnt aimed at aging males in the first place

I mean, he's not wrong. But doesn't mean Star Wars isn't necessarily making poor choices/going in a bad way it doesn't need to.

Not that I particularly have an issue with how it's going, the films have never been what kept me interested in Star Wars.

So in other words, I was right to avoid the new trilogy because it was never meant for me anyway.

Well, okay then, I wasn't looking for vindication, but I guess I'm forced to take it.

The first thing he says is people are upset that movies are not aging with them. They very people he is saying it not for are the people who are keeping it alive. Moreover people of all age can love stuff. Movies is enjoyed by people of all ages. So why do people think that Star Wars can't be. Also TLJ was not for kids at all. It was a boring slow speed chase in space. Mos kids are not going to say wow did you see them fighting for fuel. Did her love the power dynamic between Poe and holdo.

Next look was not the best Jedi in the world in no time flat. He was train by Obi-Wan and still had a lot to learn. So he went to get trained more by Yoda. WE don't know how long this lasted some suggest it took months. However even with that he was still BEAT by Vader when the fought.

The Force does not dictate who wins, idea of that is dumb as hell. If that was the case then no one would ever need to train.

Losing younger fans .

rant inc:

the thing is that star wars is kind of for aging adult men, they're the ones who have kept the franchise alive for 40+ years. thats why the new movies prominently are featuring luke, leia, han, etc from the old movies, it's not because zoomers today are demanding to see 70 something year old harrison ford slur his way though cheesy dialogue.

the prequels failed to catch on so pretty much any kid in 2019 who has become a star wars fan probably did so because the kid's parent(s) are star wars fans themselves and decided to show the OT to their child.

if i had to guess id say the plan for star wars is to make it a generational thing so parents keep showing it to their kids, thats why they did that massive investment into all the disney parks to make the star wars land. however i think with the decisions with the brand, i think star wars' time as a cultural landmark is fading fast

If youre an aging adult then your criticism of the films doesnt matter, its just not for you anymore.

Also I was so happy back when Toy Story 3 got nominated for Best Picture. It went against The Kings Speech, Black Swan, 127 Hours, The Fighter, & True Grit.

If youre making a trilogy you should have a plan set in place, not let each director do whatever they what with no communication with each other.

They still do what they can to trick that demographic into buying tickets.

But, thinking just that demographic are the ones complaining that the new trilogy sucks, shows how much of an idiot that dude is.

Anyway, alienating the core fans all but ensures it will continue to go downhill, until they have to hang up the franchise for good.

This dude is another prime example of why the franchise is failing. Someone get his dumb ass back on his leash, and pull the choker chain tight already.

I agree with him in the idea of "they ruined the characters by not having them act the way I wanted to", but at the same time, being made for children doesn't excuse bad writing.

TLJ was a visual spectacle at times but when you think about it the story doesn't make sense. TFA was practically a retelling of the first movie.

No, he needs to shut up about everything. And Bioware needs to stop shoving him into all their games. He's shit at voice acting too.

Why is it so wrong to not like the direction beloved series is going again? "It's not made for you anymore" can apply to almost anything. Guess nobody can complain about anything ever again after a certain age.

You like TLJ? Good for you, but many of us don't and our opinions are as valid as any others.

george lucas taught dave filoni who directed Freddy Prinze Jr to play a jedi teacher.

There's a lot of cool star wars stuff in the extended universe and the video games. But tbh as I've gotten older and shit. The movies are kinda wack. They're littered with inconsistencies and weird motives. Anakin didn't have a realistic "heel turn" and then he just turns baby face so easily.

Star Wars doesn't needed to be "aimed at white aging males" to not be complete garbage like the TLJ was. It just needs to be a good film. ESB was most certainly not aimed at men in their 30s, and it managed to be one of the best films of the 80s.

Honestly, the only people I've seen who really loved TLJ -- critics included -- are folks who hate the stereotypical SW fan. They see it as a way to stick it to nerdy white guys and assert power over them. They're largely the same group who constantly criticizes the "incel" boogeyman.

Freddie Prinze Jr needs to tell Mark Hamill that the films are aimed towards little kids and that he needs to grow up & get over it.

Freddie Prinze Jr is such a fucking loser now. Doesn't he have a weird Star Wars meltdown like once a year now because it's all he fucking has in his career after Bioware went to shit?

Also the whole "Star Wars is for kids" argument is dumb since Star Wars hasn't been aimed towards kids since Rogue One at least. If anything they need to start catering to six to twelve year old boys even more.
