I like Star Wars, but do you all think this series can be salvaged?
What would (you) do to improve it from its current status?

What's a Star Wars?

A good question, anon.
Star Wars is a franchise, owned by The Walt Disney Company, whose main themes involve fantasy and space. (formally owned by some fat fuck).
>>
>>221087763
Here's an experiment. Pick up the Bible, old testament. Open any page, pick any section on the page. Now read the three sentences there. This is the core of your story. Fill in everything else with the established canon of the Star Wars Universe. Tell me about the resulting movie!
>>
>>221087909
What
>>
>>221087763
What? Nothing. Original three will always be held in high regard. Prequels have gotten their acceptance because they are Lucas canon. Everything is good, carry on.
>>
>>221087943
It's how to write good Star Wars stories. Try it!

stopped reading there.

Simple 3 step plan
Drop anything to do with the original trilogy
Dont let some big director ego trip and duel write it as well. Get a proper writer
Care more about quality than advocacy
>>
>>221087763
>salvaged
??? The Original Trilogy is right there for me to enjoy.
There's no need for more; you must understand, endless growth, endless production, this is the nature of a cancer.
Learn to let a good thing rest.
>>
>>221087763
Decanonise the sequels and some of the Disney-slop series.
Make more Dave Filoni series.
>>
let any random anon in this thread be in charge, even if the person hates star wars they would do a better job
>>
>>221087763
The OT has been already saved by the despecialized edition.
The rest was always shit and never belonged to SW so there is no need to save anything
>>
>>221087763
have Disney sell it to someone who actually cares about writing good coherent stories with consistent world building and plot development
>>
>>221087763
Retcon the prequels.
Vader should start as a young cadet pilot fighting a space war, not a young cringe kid. Have it survive it but his side loses or something, he gets very bitter bla bla bla basically Hermann Goering/Red Baron origin story in WWI but combine it with some mystic buddhism shit and samurai bushido, american wild west etc. gets groomed by Palpatine, his methods seem more and more extreme but he brings results. More shit happens, he turns into Vader
THE END.

Ctrl+alt+del the sequels, the Skywalker saga ended with RotJ. Invent new stories far from that imediate family and their collegues.

Literally all you have to do is cut out everything involving Disney or Filoni and Star Wars goes back to how it was in the 00s minus TCW (nothing of value was lost).

At this point, I think something that is LIKE Star Wars but is NOT Star Wars has a better chance of being popular than Star Wars itself does.

If Hollywood was smart, they'd be plundering the fantasy/sci-fi section to try to find their next Game of Thrones or Star Wars, some sort of power fantasy hero's journey shit. There is plenty to choose from and I'm sure, if properly adapted to TV and film (LOL sorry), some of them could be popular.

>>221087763
>What would (you) do to improve it from its current status?
Just focus on smaller projects about personal stories with characters we can like. Stop trying to tie it into any of the re-established movies. Basically do what Kotor did after the prequels caused the Star Wars luster to wain.
>>
>>221089646
KOTOR isn't a small story at all, it's a huge, sprawling, multi-world galactic-stakes story.
It's just not shit.
>>
>>221089595
TCW is pretty great though. Would be a shame if it was outright disregarded.
>>
>>221087763
remove women from decision making.
>>
>>221089931
Nah, we'd still have the clone wars content that came before which was better.
