I thought the same thing. The concept is cool, but I would have preffered it be a Netflix exclusive movie or something rather than a theater release. I don't mind movies coming out yearly, but Star Wars has always seemed like the type of movie that should come out at least 2 years apart from each other to seem like an event.

It'd really obvious Disney's just milking the cash cow.

I don't mind there being a main plot line and side movies as complements. The side movies they can really try shit that thinks outside the box.

Hell maybe make a movie that talks about Jedi first contact when the sides made peace I dunno that could be cool. But no as you said it's just milking.

With the MCU it's different. You can just watch Iron Man, Thor, or Captain America movies and not really miss anything.

Rogue One, Han Solo, Boba Fett and all these other spin-offs aren't separate series. None of them make sense if you're not familiar with the core episodic Star Wars films.

Marvel and DC can work as cinematic universes because they're just adaptations of shared comic book universes. Making a shared universe of multiple series is just a way of maintaining accuracy between the comics and their film adaptations.
>>

What I witness from Star Wars, all the hype from such a mediocre movie is adults DESPERATELY trying to respark the magic they got seeing these movies as kids. It's sad. I actually like the story of these movies and the lore so I would rather that gets expanded but you have these older millenials and gen Xers who make this movie to be something bigger than it is and it's sad.

You know, it's sad seeing star wars resurrected. Star wars... had a hard life. I'd prefer it just rest peacefully and be fondly remembered (well, at least the first 3 movies).

But I can say with utmost certainty that there will never be an end to star wars now. They will keep shitting out movie after movie for as long as it is economically viable, and that means a long time.

And I'm sure most of these movies will range from decent to good. Maybe a few great ones, given a large enough sample size. But the milking is just going to completely kill any hype for star wars, just as it's killed hype for capeshit.

George Lucas is a fucking hack, but at least it was his baby and he knew when to stop.

At least with TV shows, I think they can actually put down the series without worrying about it being milked. Worst thing that can happen is a TV show reboot in 2 decades.

But with all the movie franchises... fuck, I don't think any of them will ever "finish" unless they're based on hard-canon of a preexisting book (such as LotR or Harry Potter). Everything besides that will just keep getting milked and milked. And like The Amazing Spiderman showed us, once they milk it enough, they'll just reboot the IP and start all over again.

What is the 2018 Star Wars thing?
>>
Making Star Wars into a cinematic universe like this will never work. I'm sure they're thinking "If it worked for Marvel, why can't it work for Star Wars?" The answer is because with Marvel, the individual stories came first and then they were combined into crossovers.

Marvel made a standalone film about a rich playboy who makes a robot suit. Then, they made a standalone film about a scientist who turns into a big green monster. Then, they made a couple more standalone films like "Man With the Magic Hammer" and "Mr. Smith Goes to Nazi Germany". All of these are treated as standalone, unrelated stories. There are mild hints that they take place in the same universe, but it just feels like an afterthought. Then, they hyped the fuck out of their audience by announcing that Robot Playboy, Green Scientist, Hammer Man, and Mr. Smith are all going to team up for a common goal in a crossover film. It sounded like the coolest thing ever.

With Star Wars, it's like we have this cool, classic series of seven films that the audience loves, and they're hopelessly trying to milk it further by asking "Hey, what if that werewolf from the cantina in A New Hope had his own movie?" or "Wouldn't you like to see the life and times of Jabba's pet rat thing from Return of the Jedi?" Now that they're making it a cinematic universe, it's like the crossovers came first and then the standalone film were an afterthought.

It's funny that they're basically declaring the EU invalid so that they can make their own EU-tier stuff. Remember how everyone would joke about every random one-off character in a star wars film being a big deal in some random EU novel? Well, it's going to be that but with movies. Terrible.

They need to learn how to leave things unsaid. Some characters are cool because you don't know everything about them. I don't WANT to know the entire backstory about Han Solo or Boba Fett. The prequels were basically an origin story for Anakin, and look how THOSE turned out.

Shame there is no effort put into it, the framing, the direction of the action scenes, the sound design, the editing all leaves something to be desired.

Yes it is, the plotline is right in the mess of the war during The Empire Strikes Back and after A New Hope, the Death Star in the concept trailer is thus the second one.

lack of complete creative control by an autistic man baby gives me hope about the quality. they'll spend a bunch of money to ensure it looks great and is available in imax too. so whatever. there's no way to quantify how by the numbers it will be just because it's disney and they don't want to fuck up star wars but they know how to entertain.

A new hope is boring direction as well, save for the editing on the finale space battle, it's definitely the weakest of the series.

George Lucas can't direct
>>
Star Wars video games had more original story lines and fleshed out lore.

There is literally no excuse for a multi-billion dollar franchise to treat their material like with such disdain.

They weren't happy with just turning one of the most beloved tales in all of human history into a shekel leech, they went out of their way to make it as generic and vapid as possible as a big fuck you to the people who sincerely love it.

I'm not going to defend lucas, but at least with him, it was his own creation and he could and did put his foot down and say "enough is enough"

But with disney, there's no reason for them not to milk it since they're in it 100% for the money.

>. they'll spend a bunch of money to ensure it looks great and is available in imax too.

This is all true, but I have to compare it to the marvel movies. Oversaturated and while they're all good movies on their own, they just aren't "special". They just good in a decent sort of way. Expected. Mundane. That's what star wars will be. Just another marvel movie. Just another madden or call of duty. Always being "good enough", playing it safe and never being bad but also never being absolutely fantastic. That's where I see this going.
>>
>The plot revolves around a band of resistance fighters uniting to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Galactic Empire's planet-destroying battle station

Ok so now that you know the plot and the ending (they succesfully steal the plans and give them to Leia), you can now go without Rogue One without fearing spoilers

Lucas was totally in it for the money, stop acting like he wasn't.

This

The reason he wanted Jar Jar to be funny was so he could sell alot of Hasbro shit to the kids.

The man didn't give a shit. But everyone here is acting like it's an issue of principle when they know damn well the cynism hasn't been disintergrated or emboldened by it switching from Lazy Lucas to Somewhat Trying Disney.

I bet you guys will be defending Adam Sandler's latest comedies if Reddit and Tumblr started liking him
>>
>>64416714
Lucas only put his foot down because he was tired of all of the fan hate. For a man who made more money off this stupid movie than most countries entire existences, he sure had a reality check that money can't buy that sort of respect.

When you get to be his age, you want a legacy because young pussy and parties full of guests that brown nose you become meaningless the more exposed you are to it. For a long time it is satisfying, but after awhile you start to realizze that you surrounded yourself with a hugbox and lost track of what really matters.

It's the reddit dilemma, if I may coin the term.

Of course it has. Disney shilled out loads of money to get Star Wars. They're going to milk every last shekel out of it.

As someone else said, he was interested in making more movies it was just the fact everyone hated him that made him do the filmmaker equivelant of "I'm taking my toys and going home".

because a bunch of souless corporate executives feltched up the story of the trilogy in one meeting. They rubber stamped it like they do all of the capeshit because it is guaranteed megabucks and they know that even having the biggest pleb audience the world over, even the most boring minds will get tired of it sooner or later.

Trends are short-lived and people want to contrast the recent with the near future..
>>
>>64415046
what?
>>
>>64418850
I'd really like to know where the budgets on these CGI gay fag movies are going, the reason that they use CGI is because it is cheaper than fabricating practical effects.

There has been nothing since Titanic and Dream works circa. 1999 that cost any studio jack shit in developing CGI.

CGI in the modern day looks like still-framed play-doh of the mid 80's.

These supposed costs of production are just money laundering for hollywood degenerates that get a pass because they are in the corrupt employment of the Democratic Party.

Not only that, but the acting has taken a dramatic turn because the actors are on green screens talking to tennisballs on a stick, and they are expected to pull off a performance with zero ambiance or scenery to evoke a believable emotion,

In this day and age lairs and phonies are easier for the every man to spot, the problem is that most people care more about advancing a political agenda to hurt their neighbors more than they care about the truth.

That's a poor excuse.

I wonder what kind of agenda one would have to completely distort a very rational criticism. Does it make you feel inferior for enjoying a bad product?

Nobody is saying that you can't enjoy it, but you are completely dismissing other people who have a greater passion for it than you do.

Face it, you only like Star Wars for the social aspect of using it as a vehicle to have superficial conversations with your friends about how awesome it was to see Star Wars in the theater, as if it replicates seeing the original in the theaters in the 70's when cinema was just reaching the special effects era.
