It was one of the ones that I never got around to watching growing up in the 80s/90s, and I still have quite a few to go through (especially 80s rated R movies I wasn't allowed to watch but thankfully Tubi exists).
The movie was fine, but unfortunately I couldn't help but think about how Disney totally butchered the IP. I cancelled D-Plus in 21 but I heard about the Willow tv show and while watching the movie I couldn't help but say "you really couldn't come up with some sort of family friendly followup without injecting gay crap or current year nonsense into it". They constantly talk about diversity but it seems like the writer rooms are people with the exact same worldview off of a factory conveyer belt. Best example is an article I read when Star Trek Discovery had first started about how the writing room had to do a Star Trek boot camp because they didn't have any knowledge of the IP.
I remember when they'd make a movie. You'd watch it. And that was that. Next year, they would make different movies, with different people and ideas and shit.
Star Wars nerds fucked everything.
I enjoy pre Disney Star Wars and am a big fan of the expanded universe books and comics. I remember thinking in the 90s that the future of stars was novels which I was fine with. I’m all for making different movies since reboots or remakes are being done all the time but having books for the more hardcore fans is fine.
