I read this leak/speculation on Bounding into Comics but considering it is Disney Star Wars I can totally see this happening. The working title is also New Jedi Order which leads me to believe it will be giving Rey what Luke's story was in the EU. I love how they didn't want to use it but feel the need to bastardize it. Like that Ahsoka series looks like an Heir to the Empire bastardization.
What would really crack me up would be to see Rey being a grumpy hermit on an island who has given up, and then wait for the critics to call it brilliant and subversive.
My interest in this film is subterranean, I care more about my shit in the morning that watching this film.
Same. I hope it fails and Disney sells Star Wars. I’m currently reading the last book of the New Jedi Order series. What is crazy is that they could’ve had their own canon while doing some Disney plus only animated adaptations of EU content like how DC made animated movies. I guess the one problem that may arise is that those stories would be enjoyed more than the movies.
I'm honestly so glad that early shitballs like Cpt Marvel and TLJ showed me just how much effort was put into making good movies vs defending dumb choices. Saved me going on a decade of movie tickets and online forum debates, more fun just talking to regular people without the lens of mass media goyslop.
If anyone watched anything Disney star-wars related after TLJ they are fucking numb in the head. And yes, that includes the soy-boy-lorian
Yeah it was weird as there was a slight glimmer with Rogue one (especially with the final battle and Vader appearance) but they blew it all with that film onwards.
Oh yeah it's REALLY easy to make a good sci fi, the 'fantasy tech' is no longer an issue to come up with do to it being explored enough, what you need the focus to be on story and character development.
There's a reason Star Wars, Star Trek are falling down the tubes yet Gundam is so strong because they have a sci fi setting but focus on character development and political intrigue.
