Star Wars needs to focus on the future

The creators should start a series or movie 100 years after the Rise of Skywalker.

There they can start with brand new characters (with the exception, maybe, of Grogu or Chewbacca) and have new adventures that doesn’t hurt the established canon.

This latest fiasco with Kid Adi Mundi just sealed it for me.

It’s just impossible to make a product about the past timelines that will not contradict some canon. Clearly, the creators are not cautious enough to handle these stories with enough care.

At least by going 100 years after the Rise of Skywalker they have more creative freedom and don’t have to be thinking too much about canon.

That or just come up with a new idea and make something original.

[–] Boricanator (1443) 6 months ago

That would be ideal. But we need to be realistic. The Star Wars brand is popular and money talks.

If they fast forward 100 years they can keep using the brand name, have more creative freedom and minimize damaging the canon and pissing off fans.

Maybe instead of (as we are now finding out) openly discriminating against white males and hiring from demographics that massively over represent minorities they could hire people based on whether they actually give a shit about Star Wars.

That would still be set in the past.

[–] Boricanator (1443) 6 months ago

Lol, I see what you did there.

Star Wars shouldn't have expanded beyond the original trilogy.

[–] Tam87 (1259) 5 months ago

Exactly. The original trilogy was a stand alone saga. The prequels added very little to the backstory and the sequels were rehashes of the originals. The less said about the spin offs, the better.

There's still so much of Legends can that be adapted.

[–] Boricanator (1443) 6 months ago

That’s true. However, the problem is the current creative team. They are reckless enough to find someway to actually contradict canon, even going 5,000 years to the past.

That is why going to the future might be the best option.

No, because Luke Skywalker IS Star Wars, the pretend fans need to learn this. The only thing real fans want to see is Luke as a young Jedi having adventures, training Han and Leia's children and turning a non race swapped Mara Jade from a Sith to a Jedi.

I am glad Michael Jackson clarified that he does not believe in the occult.

How do the Lizard People fit in with all of this?

[–] LoveCatsHateDogs (1962) 6 months ago

Yeah, Lizard People, what was I thinking?

Ah yes, the highly known and highly regarded V-remake that was cancelled.

>Lizard People stuff has been programmed into the populace along with a WHOLE lot of this other nonsense people fall for. "Demonic Portals", "Alternative Timelines" etc.

You know no-one actually thinks alternative timelines and demonic portals exist, right?

Someone on here certainly has multiple personality order, to be sure.

"Many times" from an account with 32 posts. So another alternative account from a user now banned, I suspect.

Your posts are just baseless unsubstantiated conspiracy prattle over and over.

>Sadly many people Do believe it. You have top tier scientists (At least the frontmen) online that push these fantasies as fact and people fall for it. The massive increase of the populace self medicating through things like Drugs dont help either. People lose touch with reality and chose fantasy for escape.

Not sure what this has to do with The Acolyte, or tv/film, or Disney in general. Use of drugs for various reasons has all kinds of factors behind it.

The "occult" has been scaremongered for many decades. Nothing has happened. I am left with the absurd conclusion that you think all fantasy and sci-fi is evil, or "occult". It's comical.

It doesn't need to move to the future or the past. It needs to get the hell away from this handful of same planets, races and organizations. It's an entire freaking galaxy we're dealing with here. Plenty of room for whole entire other factions of Force users and whatever else. The scope of the saga was always hilariously tiny.

[–] Boricanator (1443) 6 months ago

They did do that with the planets in the ST.

Whoever, we need to remember that there was Galactic Republic and a Galactic Empire that pretty much covered most of the galaxy. That would snuff out a lot of what you said.

Maybe going to a different galaxy? Ashoka seems to be building on that.

One of the problems is them trying to flesh out the Star Wars universe too much. Most people don't care about the Star Wars universe. They didn't care where Chewbacca came from, they didn't care about the history of the Jedis, they didn't care about the Mandalorians, they just cared about the simple story in the original trilogy. If they want people to care again then they have to get simple again. Explaining everything takes the fun out of it.

[–] LoveCatsHateDogs (1962) 6 months ago

They certainly didn't care how the Kessel run was done in less than 12 parsecs.
