>Tons of games about the original trilogy

Where are the sequels games? they never made games about these movies for some fucking reason
>>
Because there is absolutely nothing worthwhile about the sequel era
It's just a really fucking boring and gay ripoff of the original
The prequels at least had cool vehicles
The sequels have admiral dangerhair

They came out in the time where a movie maybe got a cell phone game tie-in. Also, they suck and Disney knew nobody would want Rey the video game. There are a decent number of Star Wars video games made after Disney bought it, but they usually make up characters or just use the characters people like.

Awakens is not fine. It actively removes all the accomplishments from the OT in favor of setting up A New Hope 2: Diverse Boogaloo.
The New Republic that replaced the Empire? Incompetent and then destroyed.
Han Solo's character progression over the OT? Reversed. He's a smuggler again, and not even a good one.
Leia? Right back where she was in Episode IV but old now.
Han and Leia's relationship? Wrecked, failed, evil son.
Luke Skywalker's Jedi Order? What Jedi?
The Empire? Back, and their Death Star is even bigger this time.

Acting wise Hayden and Jackson are the only clear weak links, and even then Hayden does some very underrated physical and facial acting. His expressions are absolutely brilliant despite the dogshit material he has to work with.
Everyone else ranges from just phoning it in to being genuinely good.

The ST has almost everyone phoning it in or being generally shit. On top of absolutely abysmal writing it’s leagues worse than the prequels.

I don't like sand isn't even a bad line. He says it in response to Padme reminiscing about laying on beaches during her swanky childhood. Meanwhile Anakin was a slave living on desert planet. It's in character and holds subtext. Hating the sand line is a meme.

Why should I say anything to the monkey when it's the organ grinder that deserves my contempt.
I don't believe Jonson was responsible for a single creative decision in that movie. There are just too many narrative fuck ups that anything more than copy-edits could have fixed, which indicates it never saw a single revision.
If it never saw a revision, it means the script was mandated and not allowed to be tampered with, and Jonson did not wield that kind of power.
>>
>>739310213
Because outside of shipping Rey and Kylo, nobody really cares about the sequel trilogy, at least not enough to help it stand on it's own in the merchandising department, which is why anything involving it video game wise tends to be tacked on to other games that either encompasses the entire franchise, or is collab material, such as Lego Star Wars, EA's Battlefront 2, The Sims 4, and Fortnite. Matter of fact, ask yourself how much fan content you've even seen of Rey online that wasn't pornographic.

Shitty uninteresting worldbuilding, or rather total lack of. Everything is basically zeroed in on the main characters to the point even the aliens care boring in the sequels.

He didn't though, that was the funny part. Aside from Rey, he played literally everything TFA implied straight.
TFA implies snoke is a nonsensically powerful force user, then TLJ confirms it.
TFA implies the first order is a nonsensically powerful faction, then TLJ confirms it
TFA implies Luke was a cowardly bitch, then TLJ confirms it
TFA implies that the republic losing five planets will somehow cripple it, then TLJ confirms it
TFA implies the "resistance" only has one base, then TLJ confirms it

>JJ has Kylo immediately repair the mask that should have vaporized
>JJ says Holdo's bullshit was a one in a million chance so she was clearly just a cowardly retarded idiot
>JJ kills off Rian's faggot lolcow version of Hux and replaces him with another serious evil type that Hux was in TFA
>JJ sidelines Rose harder than Jar Jar got sidelined in the prequels
All the sequels are pure shit but it was fun to see the pissing match between two faggot crybabies.

>>739310213
The Sequels are just the OT but less interesting. Why make a game where you fight the First Order when the Empire is there? Why play as Rey or Poe or Finn when Han, Luke, and Leia are more compelling characters? For all the faults of the Prequels they're at least distinct from the Originals. Like for God's sake, you reveal Rey is Sheev's granddaughter and it does nothing for her character, she's still just "Luke but bland and girl".
>>
>>739320714
TROS was a direct respone to TLJ's *public response*. Behind the scenes, if you look up interviews from after the movie was done and JJ had seen it but before it came out in theatres, he unironically loved it. Hell, they went with JJ over Colin Trevorrow precisely because they hoped he'd recapture the "TFA magic" that made normies love that movie.

Difference is ANH was the very first movie in the 70s with nothing before it and TFA was the seventh mainline movie in a 40yo established mega IP of the film industry. Plus there's no foreshadowing one way or the other about Vader's origin in ANH so when ESB hits you with the revelation and Obi's "w-well from a certain p-point of view..." it works. TFA had said foreshadowing that now goes nowhere, not to mention the pre-release material from before the script was altered (ie all the early leaks where Rey was referred to as Kira).

>>739313846
Episode 3 being the best one is a pretty common opinion. It’s an opinion I agree with, but it’s not really an original take. 3 and 5 are near unanimously considered the two best ones.

An actual hot take would be saying you like Attack of the Clones. Which I also do. AOTC is really underrated and gets memed almost solely for one clunkily delivered line about sand.

Prequels were weak films because Lucas couldn't cram 15 years of orchestrated galactic civil war + the Shakespearian romantic tragedy of Anakin + light slapstick comedy for children into only 3 two hour films. However the Clone Wars became the perfect backdrop setting for other writers to basically just invent whatever planet/jedi/clone trooper characters they wanted and set them against the CIS. It's fun and immersive for fan OC as well.

Sequels were shit because they're nothing films about nothing. All "events" happen within 1 in-universe year and they don't justify the runtime. The first film is a shitty New Hope clone that destroys the New Republic so that setting is gone. The 2nd film fucks up the New Order and reduces the Rebellion to 5-10 people, narrowing the scope even further. The 3rd film just tries asspulling more things from the OT out of the aether because again, there is no actual established setting outside the frame to draw inspiration from. This completely handicaps anyone trying to make new stories about or beyond the Sequels.

I like Revenge of the Sith but it feels off with the politics side story being missing. The deleted scenes should’ve been part of the theatrical cut.

>>
>>739321472
“From a certain point of view” was admittedly a handwavy excuse that they had to retroactively justify with the Prequels.

The entire saga is better for having that twist, but it was clear it wasn’t the original plan and was included simply because nothing outside of “he murdered your father” contradicts the twist.

It wouldn’t be the last time Lucas would change his mind like that either (see how the original plan was for Jar Jar to be a major character across all three prequel movies, but he back-pedalled on that because people hated Jar Jar that much). That’s not even a knock against him either — writers change their minds all the time.

I think the Prequels are excellent movies, but they were definitely hurt by the fact that the story was too ambitious to fit into the runtime of 3 movies. When people say that the OT is less messy, that’s solely because the OT’s plot is the most basic and simple hero’s journey plot imaginable. Meanwhile, the Prequels try to condense enough events and lore to fill a multi-season TV series into 3 movies. I think people suck off Filoni Wars so hard because they focus on events and details that the movies simply didn’t have enough time to focus on.

It might not have been possible because he financed the movies himself at the same time as the was figuring out the tech at the time with both Jar Jar and digital filming but he should've given zero shits and done 4 hour versions of each movie, Lord of the Rings style. Give me more George.

>for some fucking reason
even putting "the Disney Wars movies are fucking shit" aside for a moment, the movies came out long after tie-in games were the go-to marketing strategy like they were during the prequel era. or rather, when you do get licensed titles that coincide with a new release these days they're usually more about keeping the brand in the public consciousness rather than being "The Force Awakens: The Game." I guess those shitty EA Battlefront games would be considered their tie-in games, more or less? Or more depressingly, the fortnite event that's canon to the last one with that "somehow, palpatine returned" shit.
>>
>>739322465
I think the only part of TPM that’s aged poorly visually is the fact that the Gungan/droid battle at the end of the movie takes place on a field that looks like the Windows XP screensaver. Other than that, it’s a gorgeous looking film. Every SW film George was involved in looks top notch. Even ANH, which was made on a shoestring budget and was notoriously rife with technical issues, still somehow looked about 10 years ahead of its time.

I still think it’s really amusing that JJ Abrams tried to pander to the RLM and Prequel hating crowd by soft retconning the Prequels and then the Sequels flopped so hard that Disney now has to go all in on Prequel nostalgia just to keep the franchise afloat and they’re apparently considering removing the Sequels from the canon.

It feels like karma.

Rogue Squadron 2, one of the best Star Wars games ever, has like 3 missions that are actually based on events from the movies, the other 10 are all OC.

If they wanted to do it, they would. The problem is that Rise of Skywalker ruined the entire era and basically made it look like Disney was embarrassed by it, now it's dead in the water. I'm the biggest TLJ shill to ever live and Rise of Skywalker made me feel like a retard for even liking Star Wars in the first place

The only memorable set piece from the sequels is the salt planet. Every other thing is such a bland rehash of old shit you can't do anything with it in a video game, because why bother sticking XYZ ripoff in when you can just use XYZ
Prequels gave devs so much to use with a ton of unique droid/vehicle designs, politics, etc. That's why they still get shit out

finn's character was to be the clown, his backstory was written by people who were either sidelined or booted off of tfa's production when abrams got involved
the only scene that people actually liked with finn was the opening of tfa where he gets some kind of ptsd attack, as soon as he meets poe he 180's and has no qualms killing everyone he grew up with, including the ones who were just like him
he spends the rest of the trilogy hooting and hollering for rey

I have no real dog in this race since I never watched the sequels and don't particularly want to argue their merits (or lack thereof) as a result but I distinctly remember when TFA first came out the number one scene everyone talked about was Finn fighting that stormtrooper with the stun baton
Can't help but feel like they coulda done far more with the IP by focusing on side stories like this (stormtrooper leaving the empire to do resistance work) rather than continuing the grand epic jedi legacy stories or fucking whatever
it's like how star wars galaxies, when it first launched, had arcane and inscrutable paths towards becoming a jedi so 99% of players had to settle for just living in the universe as-is instead

Lul, not only do Vader and Kenobi fight twice when they should have never seen each other since Mustafar; Kenobi beats Vader's ass, accepts Anakin is gone, and then just walks away despite having Vader at his mercy and his plan in the OT being to train Vader's son to kill him.

Indy blows up the plane, the trucks and the submarine base.

It would've killed a whole lot more people, then remained in the center of Europe for anyone to further do nefarious things with.

Lucas has a really strange trajectory as a director when you look it:

>start out as an indie director making niche, experimental arthouse films
>Francis Ford Coppola talks him into doing a comedy movie.
>it’s a surprising success, and gives him cred as an up and coming director
>decide to make the first chapter of a sci-fi epic that he plans to be his masterpiece
>it ends up becoming one of the most successful films of all time, but it takes a toll on his health to the point he doesn’t want to direct any more.
>continues making his series, but hires other directors so he can just be the creative overseer of the whole thing and is worshipped as a god for decades.
>decide to direct the last 3 chapters in the late 90s now that technological advances have made filming less strenuous
>the films are divisive and people call him a hack
>retire from directing forever once you’re finished because you’re sick of making films
>years later, people reevaluate his divisive films and consider him a genius again


I genuinely can’t think of another director with that kind of trajectory and is largely famous for one franchise to boot.
>>
>>739320415
The sequels were made in a time where prequel hate was pretty in vogue so Disney tried their best to avoid wacky colorful aliens, CGI fest planets and ship designs, which resulted in them making all aliens look brown and ugly, making every single fucking battle and encounter take place in the First Order's toilets, a desert or a forest, and of course all vehicles being ripoffs of OT tech.

High Republic is so strange when they could have just done a Kotor 1 series or movie. They clearly took a lot of inspiration from it but just didn't do it. In fact a lot of what Disney has created seems to be heavily inspired from old canon or games like Kyle Katarn getting the Death Star plans which ended up being Rogue One which I did like but I still wanted Katarn.

He was able to do that because he had the money to not need to rely on the Hollywood system. Hollywood secretly hates George because he beat them at their own game.

Star Wars games were always consistently good though (aside from exceptions like Teras Kasai) and not even always directly adapted from the movies. Not to mention that every actual direct movie adaptation into vidya has been exceptional as well. The SNES OT games and Star Wars Arcade are classics, Phantom Menace’s tie in game was surprisingly ambitious and ahead of its time in some ways, and the Revenge of the Sith tie-in game is a top-tier PS2 era action game. That’s not even getting into the LEGO Star Wars games, which are arguably some of the best kid’s games of all time.

Star Wars as a vidya franchise generally never missed until the buy out happened, and the Prequel era was the golden age for SW vidya.

It boggles the mind that they didn’t rehire the art directors, designers and choreographers of the Prequels for the Sequels. Were they that desperate to shit on the Prequels that they wanted to do a complete scorched earth to any association with them even at the expense of quality?

Say what you want about the prequels, but at least they gave us

>Clones
>Order 66

wtf did the prequels come up with? Everything is an ot reskin.

I know they were, but the peak of Prequel hate was dwindling by that point. Plus, kids who grew up with the Prequels were teenagers in 2015 (I would know as I was one of them), so there were people who liked the Prequels.

Episode VII started development under George and Arndt's script with concept art being made in Skywalker Ranch with people like Doug Chiang and it wasn't until months later, when JJ came aboard, that he threw that out the window, moved the artists down to Bad Robot, and started anew with the TFA we got which is why if you look up TFA's Concept Art book which shows all designs in chronological order, the first handful of pages randomly reflect George's vision with drawings of Kira, Sam and Darth fucking Talon just... there, because George already wanted her as the new Vader back in 2012.

All of Star Wars is a high budget B-movie. The camp is part of the appeal.

It’s why I’ll never get why people shit on the series for wooden dialogue when it’s just imitating how characters in films from the 30s and 40s talked. It’s like they assume any style that isn’t naturalism is bad.

I always liked the prequels more, I just think that everything was more interesting during that time and the clones are really cool

The main reason for the lack of sequel games was Lucasfilm had an exclusivity deal with EA that lasted about a decade. To no ones surprise EA's output was pitiful.

As someone who loves the Prequels and considers Episode III the best Star Wars movie by a landslide, I feel the biggest problem the Prequels had is that you need to have knowledge of lore that isn’t covered in the movies to fully grasp how brilliant they are. To a casual viewer, the OT is more immediately appealing because the lore is so straightforward that they can cover everything important during the movie’s run time. There might have been something to be said of making Attack of the Clones the first movie and then having a Clone Wars movie in between, but then you’d miss out on Qui Gon, who’s an extremely important character for the trilogy. Maybe a trilogy just wasn’t big enough.

He over looked the red flags because Kathleen Kennedy was a long-time close friend of his. He never expected her to stab him in the back. Then there was JJ Abrams who was a rabid Prequel hater that just wanted to erase George’s influence entirely and make the franchise his own.

This is false.
There's not a single time in the cartoon where the clones act like this.

Yes, but all the iconic villains from that era like Malak, Nihilus, Kreia and so on have their fates locked in by their respective games. I feel you’d want to include them in some way, but also not betray the events of the games.
>>
>>739328832
imo that's the only way to save the franchise at this point
the old republic is such a broad era that you could do stuff that could take place before or after the kotor games and not really damage either of them

It’s definitely an unnecessary movie. People hype it because the Vader hallway scene is admittedly kino and a flash of the pre-Disney Star Wars coming through.

The only salvageable part is the middle when they're infiltrating the island. The beginning in Jedha and the base Mads Mikkelsen works on are bad, and the ending with the space battle is bad. It's a shame that this flawed a movie is the epilogue to Andor.

>>739329432
I’ll be totally honest: Maul coming back wasn’t a terrible idea on paper. He works with his obsessive Captain Ahab revenge arch in the cartoons and he also works as just a one-off disposable assassin like he was on TPM.

Either works, and even before his revival, I never considered him an underwhelming antagonist, since he’s not even the antagonist of TPM to begin with and his fight is genuinely one of the most iconic sword fights in all of cinema.

unironically RLM's fault. They hammered it so hard into people's heads that every part of the PT was toxic to the brand. To this day they're still digging their heels in and saying SW can only ever reiterate the first two movies, or it's bad.
In reality, all we ever really needed was the PT again, but with maybe a bit of script tightening, Dooku or Maul being less of a nothing villain, and less awkward early 00's CGI. Even Jar Jar is a workable character. They could have done Jar Jar well. A lot of fantasy stories have some kind of well meaning fool who gets dragged into something larger than themselves.
>>
>>739329508
It’s a classic archetype. I think people forget that Star Wars is a fairytale and so has a lot of fairytale tropes.

I actually don’t consider Star Wars sci-fi. It’s a fantasy myth like LoTR wearing a sci-fi skin.

The hatred some people have for RoTJ is bizarre to me. The Ewoks are funny and perfect for a more lighthearted movie after Empire. Not to mention that that the entire finale and throne room sequence is a 10/10 in every way:

I'd probably play him as something more like Samwise Gamgee or Merry and Pipin (in the movies). Characters who are kind of dopes, but they have their specific skills, and you like them.
Jar Jar is almost that. He just needed to be ten percent less over the top.

He's working class. He's a man of the people. He knows how to talk to tramps and bums. Maybe he's a petty thief. That should be Jar Jar's character.

Yeah, the fart joke was arguably the low point of the Lucas era, but thankfully it’s easy to gloss over and the rest of the film is enjoyable. I think the only reason people found Jar Jar annoying is because the film is trying so desperately hard to make him funny that he ends up being loud and over the top even when it’s not appropriate. They just needed to tone him down slightly and have him be more like Shaggy from Scooby Doo.

Jar Jar's presence is somewhat odd because you're right, the amount of wacky Jar Jar things in the movie clearly indicates the movie wants you to laugh at the silly jester.

There's nothing to work with in the sequels to make a game with. Luke's Jedi Order gets wiped out offscreen, the New Republic gets destroyed in a single scene, the first two movies take place of the course of, at most, a week, probably more like three or four days, the last movie doesn't even bother with the barest hint of worldbuilding. Do I need to go on?

>>739331010
Correct, but people missed the point of him. It would have been interesting to see what the original plan for him in the Prequels was since he was intended to have a bigger role.

>>739331075
I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that older fanboys wanted a gritty and edgy film and were instead met with both Jar Jar and young Anakin, who are both characters designed to appeal to a young audience. They had an irrational hatred for the Ewoks and early Clone Wars seasons Ashoka for the same reasons.

In a nutshell, it’s manchildren who want Star Wars to be Warhammer 40k and forget that it’s a campy fairytale series for kids.
>>
>>739310213
The sequels were already bad modern video game stories, adding underwhelming gameplay would not have helped.
>>
>>739331181
They scrapped them because they just wanted to rehash the OT, and a lot of post-RoTJ EU content acknowledged the Prequels in some way, which Abrams didn’t want to do.

A big part of why the Sequels suck is because they ignore the Prequels, which is hilariously ironic considering that’s exactly what the Prequel haters wanted from the Sequels.

The sequels are painfully uninteresting. They're yet another "weak rebel partisans fight the evil oppressive gigaempire with superweapons" story.

no that was all rian. rise of skywalker took any interesting creative thread left and yanked it all back on the corporate rails. remember george considers his star wars films his magnum opus because they're films crafted as homage to classic film making and it's a large part of star wars's identity. the pod racing segment in phantom menace for example is there because george wanted to homage racing films.
there's a lot of that in the last jedi. the premise of the extended chase itself is homage to ww2 films. the problem with the last jedi is rian had no oversight and he's a dipshit with terrible taste so we got the casino planet sidequest that ended in an attempted suicide instead of anything endearing.

Order 66 always came across like some Manchurian Candidate shit. Upon hearing it all clones go "Yes, my lord" and act like drones. The fuck do you mean "my lord"? Who normally calls the nice grandpa Chancellor that is totally not Sith Lord Sidious "my lord"? The whole "clones didn't know and were simply following one of many orders" was initally fanfic created by Karen Traviss that the fanbase accepted then got mad when George followed the thread from his movies which implied the moment they hear the order, something unnatural shifts in the clones. Hell he added the Cody scene to show the immedaite before and after, where Cody goes from bantering with Obi giving him his lightsaber back to nonchalantly shooting him off a cliff with a tank.

ROS was clearly someone’s idea for the second movie but had to be modified to a finale. If it had been the second one, I’m pretty sure the trilogy would be the story of Rey and Ben crossing paths from light to dark side with that cross happening in the second film. The finale would have Ben eventually sacrificing himself at the end and breaking the dark side’s grasp on Rey.

The sheer audacity of Disney with this movie
It's actually going to hurt the Star Wars brand even more, which I didn't even think was possible
This is meant to be the big return to the big screen after the ST flopped and yet, as expected, it's shit.

They're going to try to release their post-sequel movie next year but this will just leave a sour taste in people's mouths. People will know that Disney really hasn't changed in 7 years, it's still the same fucking shit
They would've been better off just keeping this on Disney+ and having Star Wars' "comeback" happen through Starfighter.

I was born in 1998 and got into SW sometime around when RoTS came out. I was COMPLETELY aware of the hate the Prequels got and I thought said hate was dumb even after hearing the arguments at that age. It was so hip to call the Prequels bad that you even had normies calling it “the bad trilogy”. All the kids my age who were into SW loved the Prequels and OT equally though.

As a kid, my ranking of the movies was:
3 > 5 > 6 > 2 > 4 > 1

Nowadays my ranking is:
3 > 5 > 4 > 6 > 2 > 1

>without the influence of the rebellion figures, the new republic fell into infighting and corruption
>A group took advantage of this and subverted a faction of the republic to get access to troops, ships and eventually starkiller base
>Leia finds out, and knowing how fucking useless the republic is, she tries to fight them on their own
>Rey is introduced as Han's scrappy young sidekick he picked up after Ben went space columbine. Jakku is scrapped entirely, instead they do a favour for Leia and try to pick up a lost pilot
TLJ changes
>Snoke is revealed to be actually incredibly weak, but good at getting under people's skin. He uses Kylo as an attack dog while mindfucking him into thinking he needs Snoke
>Luke left because, despite being able to curb stomp Snoke and Kylo, his pure rage at how the republic devolved so rapidly makes him at severe risk of falling to the dark side and being an even more powerful and terrible Emperor.
>sensing Han's death and the uselessness of the republic makes him even more reluctant to act
>however, he forgets that he's not the only powerful Skywalker
>Leia is revealed to have voluntarily dropped her Jedi training, because unlike Luke she was never able to be at peace with all the horror she's witnessed
>When she finds out the republic rolled over for the first order, she snaps, boards snoke's ship, brually murders him and takes over

I just came back from the theater and only because I had to wait three hours there for something anyway so I watched this to pass the time.
The film was highly inoffensive. Its Mando doing two separate jobs and then getting out of a Hutt style execution because he did the second job in a way not explicitly stated in the contract. The perfect description of it is its just three mid season episodes stitched together into a movie. There is no galaxy wide consequence or change, there is no character development, there is no philosophising about life or the human condition, its just a bounty hunter in an adventure.
What was actually shocking to me is that this is opening day, and I was the ONLY motherfucker in the entire room. If circumstances hadn't led me to watching it then, there would have been a screening for literally fucking nobody. On opening day. Of a fucking Star Wars movie. What the fuck happened to this franchise?

There’s nothing to make. The sequels have negative world building. And why would you make a game about them? If you want a empire/rebels game you’d use the original trilogy which has a way more compelling conflict

No, it was actually decent if you read it like an old timey melodrama depiction of a doomed relationship.

I don't think so. Their movies brought in less profit with each movie, culminating with TRoS bringing in $50 million profit on a $500 million budget. That happened seven years ago and it frightened them so bad they haven't put out a movie until literally today, which is flopping.
The good will is gone. Just saying "hey, we're going to forget the shit you guys didn't like and try again" won't work because it'd be the same retarded writers and creative team. They'd have to clean house and they'd never do that.
>>
>>739333972
I'd have Starkiller base not be another giant death laser, because I think it's lazy, and I don't see the republic doing that specifically. Maybe a fleet of computer controlled battleships referred to as a defensive measure to weed out piracy. Naturally, bad people seize control.

Imagine if they did a classic OT style story but it's following the defeat of Darth Icky and they hold back on millennial/zoomer lolrandom shit and play Darth Icky straight with everyone taking him seriously. Other than that you could do a prequel trilogy to KOTOR dealing with the Mandalorian War + prelude and end on the intro to the jedi civil war.
>>
>>739334164
Gritty realism contradicts what Star Wars is. I think the only times a super edgy Star Wars was done well was in Episode 3 and KOTOR 2 (I wouldn’t call ESB that edgy), and even they had camp.

Even TCW got the whole “adventure serial” vibe that the franchise was designed for.

George Lucas knew how to strike a balance between swashbuckling adventure serial and dark/scary/edgy things. Everyone else can't do that. Neither EU writers nor Disney Star Wars. It's all either giga kiddy shit, or grimdark super edgy and joyless "TAKE ME SERIOUSLY, I AM 13 NOW" slop.

It doesn't need to be going-out-of-its-way-edgy, just not shy away from dark themes.

IIRC, Chris Avellone likes Star Wars, but just finds Lucas’ black and white world view naive. I think KOTOR 2 was one of the few EU projects George outright said he didn’t approve of because someone like Kreia is a straight up villain according to his philosophy. Personally, I think both readings are valid. Kreia does make some good points, but she’s also a hypocritical snake who wants to corrupt people. Her claiming that she isn’t “really” a Sith is a cope. She’s similar to Dooku in that sense.

I liked it until the last episode. It's fine for the most part, visually it's beautiful, has Maul talk all poetically with Sam Witwer being cool while still having the corporate Disney need to shove in other characters the audience doesn't give a shit about like a detective and his son. Maul fights a couple Inquisitors and the stakes feel just right. But then in the last episode Filoni couldn't keep it in his pants and he has Vader appear and duel Maul for like 10 minutes.

They should have released Rogue One first, so people could get all of the classic era wank out of their systems, and then made something actually new.
Rogue One and even Solo would have been a lot more welcome as classic era throwbacks, if the main trilogy wasn't also a classic era throwback. The way Disney decided to handle this franchise is beyond incompetent.

And the ST era really only needed to look like 30% different. Show us Republic ships and uniforms that aren't just stuff straight out of the OT. Show us a villain that isn't just Empire 2.0, or is at least a visibly distinct permeation of the Empire.
A kind of "what if groups of Nazis survived into the 70's, and fused with the Italian mafia and African militias" kind of vibe. A less proud, and more scummy and desperate Empire. That would have been cool.

The main problem of Disneywars it's a Disney princess series with memberberries coating. It was always destined to fail because they want more female audience while having the oldfags' money.

These fags can't make any sequel era games because they fucked the whole world building to bend over for Rey (self-insert).

The Sequel Trilogy came way too late. Everyone was too old and too out of shape. With that in mind they should've just did the logical conclusion and use Han/Leia's daughter and Ben Skywalker as the protagonists. They don't have to adhere to any of the old EU beyond that. They can show Luke training generations of Jedi, show Leia doing deskwork for the New Republic and have Han with her. Nobody would've complained

>>
>>739340174
Disney wanted the nostalgia angle. Which would be a requirement if it was any other franchise but not Star Wars. Star Wars is absolutely begging for a setting, a story, a world, a mythos NOT having to do with any of the ideas and locales or characters its touched on before. There is an entire fucking galaxy of things to use. If they announced pre Disney buyout that Lucas hired directors to make a trilogy of movies set 5000 years before ANH in lets say 2011? Do you know how many people would be excited? Everyone because its Star Wars.

prequels may have been shit stories but they designed a lot of characters to be cool toys for boys, which translates well into video games.

Luke’s Jedi school could’ve just been Hogwarts with lightsabers and that alone would’ve been a toy/vidya/merch/books goldmine with an entire TCW styled show.

But clearly doing the OT again but shit was the better choice.

How come when a male protagonist like Luke goes from being a farm boy to saving the universe in a few years there are no problems but when a female one like Rey does it suddenly it's "disney princess self insert"?
The sequels are generally shit for lots of reasons but I swear if Rey had just been a male character named Ray with absolutely no other changes to the events of the story no one would be focusing on that at all.

tcw didn't make those though, they're from this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Courtship_of_Princess_Leia

>It was always destined to fail because they want more female audience while having the oldfags' money.
It failed because they thought that girls would watch star wars if they just made the protagonist a girl when really they should've made some show with a genre that'd appeal to them, aka Luke's academy where some girl's in a love triangle

A New Hope Luke at best was a force sensitive pilot.

Force Awakens Rey can repair and pilot the Falcon better than its last user, used jedi mind trick on shitters and shit on a trained dark jedi. She doesn't even have any jedi training at that point.

afaik they're completely different in tcw though, to the point where the only similarity is the name like most other things tcw poorly ripped out of the eu

She also overpowered the trained Kylo Ren when he tried to mindflay her.

Witches aren't EU. Lucas came up with them for the Ewok movies. Witches in TCW are very similar to that witch from the Ewok movie, but they look more sinister. When Lucas brought up Witches, he was likely told about all the shit with them in the EU, and he just liked the name Dathomir and used it.

The most deranged thing Lucas ever did was make Samuel L Jackson a monotone bureaucracy man

Its been 11 years but I'll indulge your bait. If Luke somehow fought and beat Vader after telling Han how his own ship ran while fighting off the Sand People himself, everyone would complain. You don't have to shill for Disney Wars, everyone has seen their failure.
