Damon Lindelof to write a new SW movie set after TROS

[fireproof78]

The Ewok movies--undoubtedly infantile--feel more like SW than anything released by Disney.

You know. I thought the same thing about The Phantom Menace. And, while I care very little for the film, I think the different feel is what Star Wars could use. I think fans rely too heavily on feel, not realizing how stuck that makes a franchise. All these different styles ate what makes Star Wars engaging to many fans. If it doesn't feel like Star Wars I have to ask is that a bad thing? Empire didn't, The Phantom Menace didn't, Attack of the Clones didn't, nor did the Clone Wars. Our feelings are not always clear.

And, even if it doesn't, what harm is done?

The Ewok movies are where Lucas' crazed obsession with casting a young child as the lead started. And we all know how that turned out.

The Phantom Menace was a quarter of a century ago, anyone still crying about that movie I just can’t take seriously at all.

Damn.............that just makes me depressed. Talk about feeling my age.

The Finn-Rose romance story we've been dying to see?

You mean the Finn-Poe romance story. The one people actually care about.

Can't be worse than Phantom Menace. Or Ewok movies.

You underestimate the power of the dark side.

Not really. I've seen the Christmas Special.

Lindelof-bad like Watchmen and The Leftovers, two of the best shows of all time?

"Of all time" is a stretch, but those were solid shows. Lindelof is nothing if not hilariously inconsistent. There's LOST Seasons 1-3 Lindelof and LOST Seasons 4-6 Lindelof, to pick one example.

Watchmen honestly belongs in all time 100 lists. Never even watched leftovers honestly, but heard universally good things.

I liked the show a lot, but there's no way it's top 100 material, if for no other reason than the entire "Ozymandias on Jupiter" subplot or whatever was awful.

That was the best part.

Jupiter is a gas giant ffs

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Good thing he was actually on Europa instead.

Europa is part of Jupiter, just as Long Island is part of New York.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Yes, but it's not a gas giant like Jupiter which was the point I was making here.

 

[Crewman6]

You weren't making a point, you were being pedantic for its own sake. (though it was shared with the other poster.)

 

[fireproof78]

Technically correct...the best kind of correct.

Which is interesting, since only a month or so ago Kennedy apparently stated they are focusing on shows at the moment.

Haven't we all agreed by now that Kennedy probably makes public statements about the future of Star Wars based on her latest shake of a Star Wars-themed Magic 8-Ball?

Brutal. But most likely correct.

I don't remember agreeing to that.
