>go to a "Star Wars" movie in 2015>no 20th Century Fox logo>no fanfare music>the Lucasfilm logo appears in dead silenceI knew something was wrong immediately.
>>217129934This post reminded me that there is a new Star Wars movie coming out very soon.I had completely forgotten about it and almost certainly will again.
>>217131479I don't think it's gonna do that well. The last season of Mandalorian sucked even by the show's own standards.
>>217129934i don't know how anyone who liked old star wars manages to persist past the bad robot logo. it immediately presents that a 'pure reddit' aestheic sensibility, antithetical to any Lucasian imagery, is what you're going to get this time
They wanted to do something different. Make it grave and ominous.
>>217131479>This post reminded me that there is a new Star Wars movie coming out very soon.Aren't there two?
Never watched them
>>217132796>They wanted to do something different.The gall.
>>217132810Mandolorian and what else?
>>217132810No, theres a pet project and a 2 hour commercial for a grogu plushie and maybe a lego fuckin yoda ball or something.
>>217129934>I knew something was wrong immediatelyi knew that was the case in 2013 when they announced george was no longer involved>>217132954starfighter in 2027the one with goose that looks like waterworld
>>217132954Original cut or Star Wars (1977) and Starfighter in 2027.
>>217129934You now remember normies petitioning to have the Fox logo put back in TFA even though it's not a Fox movie and that they also apparently had no issues with how much of a betrayal of the SW formula the movie was in the first place
>>217133490but we have 4k77 already
>>217129934THUMP... THUMP THUMP... THUMP THUMP... THUMP THUMP
The sequel series exists to kill all the existing main characters. That’s what it did.
>>217134598kino
>>217133579I just can’t believe how massively fumbled this all was. The hype was bigger than anything I’d seen before. Now it’s just a punchline.
>>217134756Episode 1 had a bigger hype
>>217129934An intro you can hear just with a single picture. Kinda amazing how Fox managed to imprint their brand in the minds of entire generations though all they did was throw money at the product.Fuck, time to rewatch the OT again
>>217134756what the other guy said, ep1 was another level
>>217134756born after 1999 huh
>>217134830>>217134893>>217135082I was there for TPM too. TFA was bigger.
>>217132480The trailer was bad and just looked like a rehash of what already happened in the show. I will not be surprised if the theatrical release is canceled and it just releases in Disney Plus. No one fucking cares about it, at all. The meme novelty of the baby puppet is long gone.
>>217136393No it wasn't.
>go to a Star Wars movie in 2015You're correct. Something was wrong immediately.
Reminder that Filoni is to blame for the current state of Star Wars more than anyone else.
>>217136567Trvthnvke
>>217129934Wait that was 2015? Are you fucking kidding me? It was THAT long ago? The FUCK...
>>217132954and the grogu
>>217129934I knew it would ne bad when I saw the first trailer with black skinned character.
>>217136526Dude just by sheer numbers it was bigger.
>>217134598WE WENT FROM THIS.....
Seethe more
>>217136908It's like the Star Wars equivalent of the girl and the Unix System.
>>217136393lmao not by a long shot
>>217136975>fanbase literally doubles in size>biggest opening for a Star Wars movieHow the fuck was it not?
>>217136393>I was thereNo you weren'tTPM was a once in a lifetime monster, nothing like it before or since in terms of anticipation and exposure
>>217137107
>>217138385Episode VII was anticipated since 1983 dude. OT fans were excited for it because it wasn’t the prequels and they had hope that “it would be done right”. The fans of the prequels too were hyped. It finally continued a story that we waited 30 years for. I know you want to rewrite history, but the hype for TFA was the biggest in Star Wars history. For 3 years since the Disney buyout, the biggest thing to talk about and speculate on was TFA. It was absolutely massive. TPM being a close 2nd.
>>217139342NTA but I grew up watching the OT on my old VHS tapes and I don't recall any overwhelming fan demands for sequels back then. I thought it was pretty clear that ROTJ was the conclusion of Luke's story.
>>21713944649 yr old here. Watched the originals starting in 82 on VHS, then saw RotJ in theaters in 83.Honestly, there wasn't much of a hype for an episode 7. We had the books, which came out when I was in highschool, and those extended universe books were all we needed. That and the RPG sourcebooks.I remember the hype and the crowds for TPM being way, WAAAAY bigger than TFA. I wasn't even that hyped for ep7. I went in expecting nothing and was still disappointed.
>>217132710Helvetica, all caps or nothing.
