Interesting director choice. Though, I kind of wish they would pretend Ep 7-9 never happened. Rey could have been a much better character and the sequels could have been better than a rehash of Ep 4-6.
- don't worry, 10 years from now people will be treating the sequel trilogy the way the prequel trilogy is now.
  Disney always wins their molten torch forever burns.
  EDIT :
  To those disagreeing :
  You're probably forgetting how badly the ~~original~~ prequel trilogy was percieved. here's a reminder :

  see you in 4 and a half hours!
  EDIT2 : I'm not saying anything regarding the quality of any of the trilogies (1-3 , 4-6 , 7-9) , people hated and adored them all for different reasons, but the inevitability of nostalgia or disney shills are inevitable.
  EDIT 3 : My dad , in the 90s, seeing the 50s, 60s and 70s nostalgia themed stuff was talking about how there was no 80s nostalgia because the 80s sucked. You guys are probably aware of the avalanche of 80s nostalgia stuff from the past two decades, and 90s are coming back at the moment, albeit slowly.
  Nostalgia is inevitable. With all the damn kids going to disneyworld's star wars section and the bb8 advertising on everything including oranges when the film came out, you can bet your ass that when those kids grow up, they're going to be nostalgic about star wars 7-9.
  And you know what? I'm willing to bet 20 years after Star wars 10-12 comes out, not only are the kids that see it when it comes out will be nostalgic for it, I'm willing to bet they're going to hate on episodes 15-18.
  
  I've been wondering about this for a while. Silly as the prequels were, they were still the result of one person's vision and tried to tell a story. The new ones are neither, theyre corperate and disconnected from each other. So will they be met with the same nostalgia and re-examination that the prequels got? I really don't know
  
  No. The last movie ruined the entire trilogy. And I liked TLJ, but there was no overarching story to the trilogy and the whole thing was completely pointless, but mainly the last movie was so so fucking awful.
  There is no fucking way anyone is going to appreciate them in 10 years. Sometimes movies just suck.
  
  The sequels are better than the prequels at least.
  
  Does this imply that in Star Wars X, we will have a fight or convo with a contact in an arcade?
- Must’ve been expensive to get the director of I Am Somebody and Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge.
  
  She’s got a lot more credentials than that.
I think they should move onto different titles than X/XI/XII if the Skywalker Saga is over. And A New Beginning is worse than The Phantom Menace being called The Beginning in its early stages. I hope they change the title.
Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw in my life. I really want to be excited about this. Really badly. But I'm just not. The title is awful, the last movie is awful. I'm not going to stop loving the Star Wars that exists, and every once in a while they have a happy surprise like Andor, but my excitement for new stuff is dead.
The people making Star Wars movies today don't understand the things that make it unique from everything else, so they make it garbage.

  Call me a heretic, but I think last Jedi was the best of the 3 if you separate it from the star wars universe. TFA was just a meh rehash of the original, and ROS was a dumpster fire.
The Jedi Order has failed twice now. Each time those failures produced a person so powerful that it enslaved the galaxy. Maybe don't do that again.
- Seriously, maybe start a movement that teaches the Force belongs to all, whether as powerful as a Jedi or as simple and every-day as just using it to grab stuff.
- Blind faith in organizations claiming to protect our long held traditions makes us vulnerable to fascism?
  I don't like to jump to conclusions. I'm going to give it a few more films to see if the pattern holds. Lol.
A NU START!
Title crawl:
A NEW BEGINNING
After Palpatine returning, somehow, and being defeated, the NEW NEW REPUBLIC is established. But not much has changed, because not enough time has passed.
Anyway, REY, along with a redeemed BEN SOLO, have become the sole JEDI MASTERS of the entire galaxy and decided that the time was ripe to begin training a new generation of JEDI
Among the first pupils, the young TALTAPINE shows great promise, but dark clouds loom over the JEDI once more...
- I’m not sure optimistic is the right word exactly… maybe hopeful. Sadly I don’t really think it’s gonna be great but I hope it is. 100% agree about Ridley. I know Boyega burned some bridges but I would otherwise put him in the same category.
  
  I'd say more that disney burned the bridges and Boyega brought them to light. The entire cast was done dirty by those movies and he was the only one with the backbone to say something.
- Going for episode 10 rather than the prequel approach of spamming the market with adjacent media feels like they haven’t learned from their mistake
Pregnant in Tatooine
- There was no father.
The emperor is back, somehow!... again!
Woof. Different production team than nine? That was the trashiest trash I have seen in a very long time.
- IMO Lindelof redeemed himself with The Leftovers and Watchmen. Kurtzman and Orci would be worse.
- No? Just because they make shitty movies for 25 years?
The emperor’s new shoes
I totally agree about the EU, some of the finest pieces of Star Wars fiction are still not considered canon, and that kills me 😅. To put a point on my thought about Lucas's contributions, while he didn't write the finest of Star Wars, he did create the fertile soil it could grow in. It was his strange mixture of Taoism and science fiction that intrigues me so much, and I think it created a rich environment for storytelling and a very visually engaging struggle between the light and dark of humanity. Plus, he would actively draw in EU content that he liked, which is actually where the idea planet of Coruscant came from. Not only does Disney actively restrain and manage star wars third party storytelling, it also (generally) has drained the soil of it's imaginative and creative inspiration. I can't imagine much fiction being inspired by the characters and plots of the sequels, but I actually haven't actually looked, maybe I'm wrong there.
- Speaking of visually engaging, Ralph McQuarrie's artwork for the original trilogy is incredibly inspiring.
Is it this one?
