The future/force is White Men? George Lucas is being brought back as the final say in creative direction for Star Wars going forward. Timothy Zahn is secured and looking to get Christopher Nolan, Matt Reeves, even James Cameron their own projects (m.youtube.com)

Unless he's able to say "it was all a dream" there's nothing he could do to fix things.

Just pull a Disney, make everything Disney did non cannon and pretend that retardation never happened

The shame of it is, they will never be able to get all of the original cast together again. Carrie Fisher is dead, and I think Harrison Ford has said he's done with Star Wars (although the latest Indiana Jones flop proves he'll do anything if enough money is involved).

They had one chance and they blew it.

In my early, hopeful stage of hearing this, I don’t think it would make sense for Lucas to have gone back only to have his hands tied - as a marketing stunt basically.

That being said, it would be far easier to try to “recapture the spirit” of Star Wars to him, than to actually try to fix their total cockup of a “trilogy”...but it’s not impossible either.

It could probably even be done without explicitly using “time travel” but just some shiet about the universal balance of the force, “parallel” universes based on our choices, a wound in the force, whatever.

I guess I’m just

a) cautiously optimistic

b) tired of being preemptively negative (even if that’s been borne out basically 99% of the time).

If they continue to suck, great, I’ll continue to not give a shit. But a Christopher Nolan or Timothy Zahn led Star Wars could be dope.

So:

  • Luke Skywalker's struggles and the sacrifice of Anikin to bring about the end of the Sith are meaningless
  • Han Solo was a deadbeat dad who can't even remember where he parked the Falcon
  • Luke was going to gut his nephew with a lightsaber
  • Ben Solo gutted Han like a fish
  • Luke ran off and sulked for twenty years, because he is a coward
  • The Holdo Maneuver
  • "Somehow Palpatine has returned!"
  • Rey SKYWALKER has the power of all of the Sith and all of the Jedi, ever

But all is forgiven, because Daddy is home and the "force balance?"

Yeah. All yours buddy. Keep it all.

You make one change, Luke never tried to kill child Adam Driver, and the rest falls into place.

If they had any brains they'd just print money by adapting the EU novels. The hard work is already done, and Hollywood loves reboots and living off other peoples' efforts anyway.

Dude this is Mike Zeroh putting this out. The guy has been making real life fanfiction about Disney since The Last Jedi released. I'm surprised he even has a viewership at this point.

Didn’t even consider that, what a goof...of course “two more weeks” “trust the plan” hopium is getting peddled even in the most mundane of places. I’ve never really followed anything SW since Disney started their prolonged public sadomasochistic humiliation ritual, so I’ve never heard of this guy but it seems like more than a few people here know him well enough to totally disregard him...

Does this loser straight up make shit up or just report rumors of dubious truth? Looking now I’m not seeing anyone else saying this, and the video is two months old (I thought it was weird I hadn’t heard about it but just figured everyone was sick af of SW).

How to fix things :

"The only canon thing about the recent Star Wars is Kathleen Kennedy getting shot out of one into a thick concrete wall."

That’s what I was hoping when I saw the video title, but Disney can’t have that if they’re going to sell themselves to CrApple eventually, I guess

I want them to sell the Blade Franchise to Wesley Snipes. They actually cast a man known to be mixed up for Wesley Snipes as Blade.

As for star wars, when they ignored people and tied calling them bigots for not liking the trash produced... No one is going back to Disney.

I’d also accept selling the Blade franchise to Kirk “Sticky Fingaz” Jones. He was great in the Blade TV series.

Wesley set the bar too high. My son is subscribed to his son, it prompted me to look him up. I was always a fan, what I learned made me more of a fan. Wesley Snipes is a black belt that did his own stunts. And, his son can do the Blade voice perfectly!

Post Reported for: Rule 12 - Intentional Falsehoods

Hmm. The presenter doesn't cite any sources. OP, do you have any information to support this claim?

– Graphenium [S] 2 points 2 years ago +2 / -0

Read the thread. Some state the guy who made the video is a rumor-monger. I had never heard of him, but can’t find anything to back up the claim (or debunk it).

Who reported it and does their dad know they’re a faggot?

As we all know, gg was founded on "listen and believe". Only faggots want verification of wild claims.

No... Wait... It's the other way around.

Don't post faggotry and act shocked when people call it out.

Someone posts a link to something which turns out to be an unconfirmed rumor - does the reasonable person:

A) point out in the comments that the video uploader has a history of spreading unconfirmed rumors which don’t pan out

B) secretly beg the moderator to hide the post so that no one can ever be fooled by this dastardly video again

One of those is the action of a faggot. Which is the action of a gamerg8r?

At this point, Kennedy will either take over Bob Igor‘s position or Disney will be sold to Apple.

MIKE ZEROH

I keep seeing videos for this guy being recommended. Does he have ANY real source? Because his titles are absolute clickbait bullshit.

Eh.

Firstly, although vastly preferable, Lucas has made a series of blunders himself, so this isn't something to get too excited about in my opinion. Secondly, and more importantly, I'm not even sure I believe it. This may just be throwing more money at the man to get his seal of approval. This smells like marketing. Just because they claim he'll have final say, doesn't mean he will. Or even if he does, that that final say won't be biased by his wanting to stay attached to the project. I think Star Wars has almost as much of a chance to be bad with Lucas as without him, at this point.

This is potentially a marginal improvement, but nothing to write home about.

The only thing missing was Kathleen Kennedy being exiled out of the entertainment industry forever (and then we all have banana bread)

– LastRights 2 points 2 years ago +2 / -0

Even if this is true, it would just be idea laundering. George Lucas himself is a woke nut and he won't put a stop to the female-centric garbage that has hijacked this entertainment franchise for little boys.

Left-progressive feminists are running Disney and Star Wars is just another battlefield for their war against men. Feminists should have never had a place in Star Wars. Pure entitlement.

Dragging out George Lucas to defend terrible DisneyWars will just make me hate George Lucas.
