Disney has demonstrated repeatedly it is focused on hypothetical female audiences it has dreamt of creating for a decade. In the process, it has alienated the overwhelmingly male audience that watches all things sci-fi/fantasy. Males do not ever want girl boss Disney princesses in their shows. No one wants WNBA Disney. That is why Disney is struggling. To be sure, guys will show up for Star Wars/marvel…but the rate of this is dropping more and more and more as guys get long tired of the assembly line of girl boss better that every man trope characters. There is an activist agenda at play at Disney that surpasses business decisions…it is a philosophy to take traditionally male genres and make them into feminist vehicles to create future female fans. That’s why I checked out and don’t watch. Nor bring my kids to these shows. Nor have Disney plus. Which is a shame because I’m such an OG fan of Star Wars and was a very avid comic book collector. I’m past the point of anger over what they did to Han and Luke to total apathy. I watch KZread when I need entertainment to fill my time.

A Godfather franchise?? Godfather had three films but the third one was torn apart when it was released. Star Wars is more like the Terminator franchise. Disney will keep beating this dead horse into it's grave.

Disney is on a downward spiral. Everything they have been releasing recently, Marvel or Star Wars, feels like they're trying to course correct their plane crash of an entertainment company. Nothing is worth watching, or exciting, or getting the support it should. Everyone behind these products are too out of touch or just don't have enough care/enthusiasm to make something worth while for these IP's. Putting someone new behind these products is not the solution. The people behind it need to decide where they want to take these products and come up with at least a 5-year plan, because throwing things at the wall to see what sticks is just losing money for them. I want good Star Wars, I want good Marvel. I would give them all of my money but I need to be entertained. I want to WANT to see these movies but they are so bad, generic, and just uninteresting. They're making movies I'd rather just watch on streaming or pirate services, not events to be seen in theaters. They need to do better, actually care about the products they're making, and they will see the money.

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again... and expecting different results."

Rey, in and of herself, wasn't a terrible character, but she - and by association, Daisy Ridley - were done dirty by a team of utterly incompetent writers and filmmakers. She couldn't just be a totally new character with no ties to who had come before her; a nobody from nowhere who, by twist of fate, was granted with great power through the Force and, thereby, destined to be the one to bring about the rebirth of the Jedi Order. No; she had to be PALPATINE'S FREAKING GRANDDAUGHTER through plot contrivances so sloppily conceived that the worst fan fiction writers on the planet would look at that and say, "Hmm, that's kinda stupid". I liked Rey, and I liked Daisy as Rey, but I hate what the people behind the Sequel Trilogy did to the character, and I don't know if this new film can rectify all that. No; you know what? I'm going to be realistic here: I am quite confident that this new film WON'T rectify all that, no matter how hard they try. And, I'm sorry, but I don't worship at the Altar of Filoni like other people here do. Yeah; it's clear that he LOVES Star Wars, but I don't see him reaching beyond what he loves about it to try anything NEW. I just see him making more and more of the same stuff with the same characters, like a kid who only plays with his favorite Star Wars figures while others remain untouched. He's not going to bring anything truly innovative or new to the table; he'll just find new ideas for the same old characters. That's not moving forward or letting go of the past.

Director: we ruined the Mandalorian series but now it is ending we have nothing left to ruin. Kathy stairing at Andor: there is another.

Rey is a character without a likable personality. The only conflict she ever had was her own narcissism: feeling insecure, needing affirmation, needing validation, only to realize that she needed no-one at all and that she was awesome from the start. She could even come out as a Skywalker just by saying so. I understand why that resonates with some people, but there is just nowhere to go now. How believable would it even be to give her some kind of actual struggle now, after 3 movies? What good will a 4th movie be that pretty much undoes what the previous 3 movies have done? And this would even be the good option. The bad option would be a Rey movie that just keeps doubling down: she battles the patriarchy, AGAIN. She is the most awesome hero, AGAIN. She won't need anyone's help, AGAIN...

My take on the sequel trilogy is: Ben Solo should have been our protagonist. Rey is a nobody mirroring Anakin, she is a child of the force, conceived to work as a dyad with Ben, an attempt of the force to bring balance in itself since the Skywalker lineage is too strong being created by manipulation of the force. Both Ben and Rey continuously change places in this light side/dark side battle (could even be a tragic love story considering they love each other but the more one pulls to the light the other is instantly pulled to the dark) which eventually leads to the death of Luke and Leia, leaving them both as the only strong force users in the galaxy. This all leads them both to investigate into this lineage, understanding the force deeper than ever and (without introducing him physically but as a force ghost) we see Plaguis motives on creating Anakin and the nature of balance. In the finale, they’re both doomed to die together to keep balance, or live and battle each other all their lives.

I had this idea that Kylo and Rey would switch roles in Episode 9. Rey learns to embrace her powers of darkness because she learns her parents abandoned her due to that. Kylo realizes his grandfather's and his uncle's sacrifice and decides to keep Rey on the good side, but realizes he has to stop her. But is conflicted because he sees a lot of himself in her. And ultimately he sacrifices himself to bring her back to the light side before she dies as well. Doesn't even need to have a shoehorned love story. It would've been a bittersweet ending.

Seeing the clips again in this video has reminded me: those cinematics Bioware created as part of SWTOR are straight up better and tell better stories than anything we've got from Disney Star Wars. I'd love to see Bioware make a full animation in that style, even though that would be prohibitively expensive I imagine.

New Rey movie is basically Star Wars Legends of what Luke Skywalker did! Seriously it feels unneeded.

The question is, will they actually make the film? Many previously announced SW movies were eventually thrown in the bin. Disney is hemorrhaging money, and it won't surprise me if by this time next year we'll hear about the movie being cancelled.

18:33 How about someone from the Extended Universe/Legends days like Timmothy Zahn or James Luceno. Those where Star Wars creators who pushed the franchise forward and respected what other creators did.

If Ahsoka & Guardians 3 don’t succeed, Disney will be in serious trouble

@RawnchyDeard I would love to see a series of Luke's adventures where Mara is a force in his life. Luke's life is still unexplored in this new Canon. Thrawn's new cast of characters brings more of Thrawn's humanity to the forefront. Eli Vanto and Thrawn have such a great relationship similar to Frodo and Sam. Ara'lani is an older sister figure for Thrawn that has his back 100%, even when Thrawn drives her insane due to his lack of subtly. Thalias clearly deeply loves Thrawn, and Che'ri is their adopted daughter. Ba'kif is the father that Thrawn needs to help him stay the course while serving the Chiss. Thrawn is a hero who knows the greater good is worth the harder path. Thrawn cares deeply for all people. The Chaos is a perfect setting to explore how other species use the force and allows the Star Wars Universe to expand. I hope Filoni sees the opportunities with these characters and the treasure trove of untold stories waiting in the world of Thrawn.

The reason Disney doesn't want to completely disavow the new trilogy is quite simple: doing so would mean admitting their complete failure on top of accepting that doing the movies/shows for the sole purpose of sending the questionable morale and messaging (without telling a good story with good characters) to the masses doesn't work. Disney has the resources to f*ck around, at least for now, but the cracks are starting to show, and it is just a matter of time before the entire thing collapses on itself if they keep on forcing their present course.

It isn't just Star Wars, but all of Disney's products in their entertainment media division. Their parks aren't doing so well either. Disney and LucasFilm just aren't listening to the *CONSUMER* or *FANS*, and that is the real problem.

I would have even been OK with Luke failing to restore the Jedi IF they had made that the subject of Ep7. Instead they just tell us about it. I mean, whoa. That's a pretty big plot point for mere exposition. Please show us what happened, don't just tell us. The sequels didn't need both Rey and Kylo. Just one of them for Luke to pass on the knowledge of the Jedi would have been enough. And yes, it can go bad like it did for Obi Wan and Anakin but unlike the prequels, in the sequels they need to triumph in the end. With two characters, however, it's not clear who the focus should be on. Rey is the protagonist of record but is she really? The sequels are really Kylo's story, his fall from grace to his redemption at the very end.

The director actually worked on documentaries involving strong women fighters in the war, I think she can bring some of that to Rey, and not make her a shitty character like she is now

I actually do remember people loving The Force Awakens and couldn’t wait for the questions to be answered but then TLJ released and then suddenly every sequel film was hated. If they had kept JJ working on the whole sequel trilogy then I feel it would’ve been decent and not shit. Disney will be Disney though.

If I were Disney, I'd want to make adaptations of the Various Legends-specific stories (The Karen Traviss RC novels, Legacy Of The Force novels, Labyrinth Of Evil, the Rogue Squadron novels, the New Jedi Order novels and Splinter Of The Mind's Eye are notable examples) instead of a Rey-Centric post-ST film. Heck, if I wanted to, I'd tell a few more stories set in the Dark-Times era (19 BBY-2 BBY) about the various separatist holdouts and other early rebel group/cells.

Rey spent all her life on Jakku, a desert planet. Yet in the next movie, she can swim. And in the following, she pilots a boat better than who it belongs to

The problems started in TFA, it recycled the first film, reset Solo's character, forced us to focus on a mystery they clearly didn't have an answer for, had a lead with no character arc nor growth, made a soldier who was a kidnapped child rebel because not wanting to kill perfectly happy (ecstatic even) to kill his former fellow kidnapped soldiers, got both the force and hyperspace wrong and insinuated Luke ran away. This movie needs to fail for Star Wars to succeed.

It's hard to take Lucasfilms serious with Kathleen Kennedy as the head of the company. She let Rian Johnson write quite possibly the worst movie in the history of blockbuster films. They literally gave him the authority to do whatever he wanted despite how illogical it was to the already established universe and how damning it was to the individual characters and storyline. Hell his own script contradicts itself so many times it was hard to believe what I was watching.

It would've been interesting to see a mainline Star Wars story where we see it in a Sith's perspective. Then as the saga continues, we slowly get to see them lean more and more to the Light Side.

Breaking Good

We will look back at this, and laugh because this film will never see the day of light.

Here's how I envision exactly why Disney (and KK) want to double down on Rey and the Sequel trilogy. First, if your initial forays into a character or time period are not necessarily successful, you can redeem those eras or characters through extra content. Look at the Prequel era. Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones weren't exactly beloved when they came out, but Lucasfilm persisted and created a lot of extra content for both the characters and the setting. And what happened? A lot of current SW prequel fans became fans through the animated series as well as the other material and games that came during that time. Additionally, we had games, comics, and other media that fleshed out the Prequel era. But what have we had with the Sequel trilogy? We've had a few books, I guess, and there was that one animated show. But there's been very little extra content to make people even begin to like the Sequel trilogy (at least for those who didn't really like it). So what do you do? You create extra content around the Sequel trilogy era to flesh out characters and settings that were not fleshed out in the prior movies. In that regard, I can totally understand why Disney is doing what it is doing with the Rey sequel. Second, I think there is an ideological point to it. What does Disney lose if it abandons the Sequel trilogy? They admit that they were wrong, and that some of the fans (and yes, some of the haters) were right. Given that a lot of people have branded the Sequel detractors as some sort of "-ists" or "-phobes," you would be admitting that some of your ideological opponents were in fact correct. I don't think that the current Disney believes that they can make that decision.

Kennedy's ego and legacy are on the line. If she can't get the MaRey Sue Palpatine movie made and if it doesn't do well if it is released, her "sequels" will be erased sooner or later. She's desperate to prove they still work. They don't. They never did and never will. The "sequels" made money by burning through ~40 years of goodwill and a desire to see Luke, Han, and Leia again. Those three are the main characters of Star Wars and there's no escaping that fact. That's why Luke's return in The Mandalorian was received as if Jesus had come back, but MaRey Sue Palpatine's announced return was met with anger from most people, those clapping seals at a highly screened live event notwithstanding.

The MarySue thing is actually worse than people made it out to be.

I agree with you 100%. Dave Filoni would be a great choice to lead the Star Wars Franchise, I think many of the issues he is having with his current shows is that is trying to weave a tale in which the Sequel Turdogy somehow makes sense and somehow tying it back to the Lucas Films but that sort of artistic gymnastics is something I am not sure anyone can pull off.

Star Wars - Tales of the Jedi, is amazing, and I really recommend it.

It’s so funny to me that there are people who manage to convince themselves that “Star Wars is dead” or Star Wars is “shaky” and “needs to find it footing”

When The Force Awakens came out my first thought was that it was harmless nostalgia bait. Calling it a Sequel and claiming it was standing at the same level as GL's work was jumping the gun, but it wasn't upsetting content. I didn't love anything in it, but I didn't hate it either. Within minutes of the movie's end, though, I realized my problem: it had no passion. The love was quite literally gone. I had no desire to watch more Star Wars after The Force Awakens and was perfectly willing to let other people risk it to decide whether or not the coming projects were worth it. So far, only Mando 1-2, Rogue One and Andor have managed it. Amongst the vast ocean of new content since Disney acquired the franchise, 2.5 successes is...dismal. My only hope was that they didn't ruin Ahsoka, but your interest in Dawn of the Jedi at least reassures me that my current strategy might still get some good results.

Rey is a Mary Sue by definition. I think the actress is fairly competent, which helps with Rey’s character, but the script will never allow the actress to rise above the confines of what a Mary Sue is. She’s uninteresting because there’s no way she can’t be. I think there’s backlash against the Mary Sue thing in the fanbase because the media was super quick to brand anyone who said the words “Mary Sue” as a sexist, which is absurd. It’s a well-defined literary term. Many people examined themselves and wondered if indeed the media was correct, and they started to avoid the term because it was now, along with pretty much every other dissident sentiment, a political issue. Don’t back down. Mary Sue is the term for Rey because that’s what she is. It’s ok to admit it. She’s a bad character, written by bad writers who were hamstrung by bad producers who wanted bad things to make good money for themselves.

Disney star wars is the best when they write new storys that do not follow the jedi-sith conflict. See Andor, the Mandalorian and Rogue One. but when it comes to jedi they just brain dead go: unga bunga need skywalker name and papa Palpi

In the end The Apprentice realizes what Luke was trying to tell them, that the Balance, basically the Grey path is the right one to follow. That's just me though

They need to straighten out the story line first. I'm so confused on who even Rey is. If you want to do another story on Rey you need an origins story released first. Or at least a few TV episodes to explain things. But the bigger problem to me is not Rey it is how Palpatine came back and was he just a clone or did they move his mind/spirit from his old body into a new one, or did Palpatine somehow just survive the fall or what. I'm so confused on the whole story right now and if it was me I would just start over and can 7,8,9 films. Like you said episode seven was good, it gave us a good backstory to build on. But also like you said episode eight destroyed Star Wars. Episode nine felt like a salvage job but failed to explain things. Now how do you build on that. The whole thing is a mess, either reboot 7,8,9 or do a movie/show/series leading up to 7,8,9 that explains Rey, that explains Palpatine (which they are trying to do now), that explains Luke and how he turned into a bum, that explains the Knights of Ren, that explains the mess they made with those movies cause it will be hard to move on if you don't do that first.

While Kathleen Kennedy (KK) is a brilliant producer, she is a bad creative head. You're right about Star Wars feeling corporate right now. The Sequels had no plan, they were led by higher ups who thought the best way to sell this product was constant nostalgia. Whenever there is something good that gets popular the corporate people start taking over and say "the chart says this is the best way to go". Mandalorian Season 1, left alone, it was amazing. It got super popular, so the higher ups got involved and made it so their cash cow Baby Yoda would be back with Mando by the beginning of season 3. Doesn't matter if they're quickly reunited in a spinoff, doesn't matter if people who only watch Mandalorian are confused that they're back together, all that matters is the fan service and selling Baby Yoda toys.

They can't fix a systemic issue within Lucasfilm. It's not their job. These are living human beings not tools we use to get the content we want. They can only do so much at once.

What is killing me about this is that they first lied about having no source materials to base the sequels on, killed the EU and turned it into Legends once they realized that was not the case, and didn't want to be hampered by what they felt was inferior works, and then they realized their movies/ideas sucked and are now stealing ideas (have been) from the EU they killed and are instead pushing it with their new crap characters. Luke was suppose to rebuild the Jedi academy, not Rey. Why was it so hard for them to just adhere to what was already present and loved and then just build on it? They could have easily introduced new characters like Rey, Finn, Poe and so on so forth while paying homage and respect to what came before and sending off legacy characters in meaningful ways, and don't even get me started with how bad the new writers are and how much they seem to not understand anything about Star Wars whatsoever. This is why I quit Disney Star Wars and will not be coming back to it no matter how much they try to salvage it. Disney is a cancer. When I think of how Disney has handled Star Wars, I see a company who bought land with a nice mineshaft that was decently maintained and packed with gold ready to be harvested.

I don't think most people dislike Daisy Ridley, and I think a lot of people, if not the vast majority, would be open to any Star Wars film she's in, or helming, that's "good." The problem is, the specific director they've hired for the new film, and the way she's being "advertised," really seems to reinforce a lot of the fears and apprehension that a lot of fans have for it. It's just not hard to make a "pro-feminist" film that's also not misandrist. Alien. Aliens. Terminator. Terminator 2. Every Hayao Miyazaki film. Arcane, if you want a more recent example. The problem is, Kathleen Kennedy, and a lot of people working in Hollywood today, don't seem to understand the difference, or are actively misandrist. It doesn't help that they constantly employ hacks like J.J. Abrams who don't even understand how the basics of a story work.
