ENOUGH With The Star Wars Announcements!

Another day, another pointless announcement from Disney Lucasfilm, for a Star Wars project that will probably never happen. In this case, a whole new trilogy of movies overseen by Simon Kinberg. What are the chances this will ever actually happen?

For me it is far from apathy. Now I get angry whenever I see a new project because I know how good it potentially could but most certainly will not be. And it just reminds me of all the damage SW has suffered during the years. It is such a sad state of affairs. The only thing that bothers me more is when I see what they are doing with my precious Lord of the Rings.

Not even a trilogy of movies (on Earth) about how a Kirsten Kelly tricks a Jerry Lemas into giving her his ultra-successful franchises that Jerry created and invested his life into. Once Kirsten Kelly has the franchises, she ruins the franchises by focusing on irrelevant/conflicting goals and neglecting the quality of the movies under her hand. Kirsten wants to change the world but her actions result in "her" company losing millions of cash. This causes anger and arguments with her "boss" Rob Ivan who wants to fire her but cannot do so (either because of signed documents or because Kirsten knows where the missing bodies are). Jerry Lemas hating the franchises he created because Kirsten Kelly ruined it. Anger, tragedy, drama etc. One could even make a great tv show (instead of movies) out of the concept. It wouldn't be a happy show. One could really make a good series "not based" on how existing celebrities and companies have behaved and existed... (Of course, this idea is not related to any living people or existing companies, so do not sue me.)

Star Wars works when it is a trilogy roughly every generation. The problem is the trilogies have to be good and even when they're good you can't just spam the franchise with absurd amounts of filler content in between. Video games and books are one thing, because they allow the audience to use a greater amount of imagination in their interaction with them. What Disney is doing with the film and TV overload is killing any and all hype for their next set of movies, and that's before you account how bad their trilogy sucked.

[@csurampower]

A long, long time ago when I was in college, our class studied Joseph Campbell and "The Power of Myth". A part of that is how ancient mythology informed George Lucas on "Star Wars: A New Hope", and how classic mythology tropes were used to make the story for that film interesting yet familiar, and involving for the audience. Today, I look at the Star Wars content being churned out, and I can't imagine any classroom finding any educational value in examining it, except for a business class looking at how a giant corporation managed to strangle a golden goose.

Yes! And its worth a mention that Campbell was a mentor of sorts to Lucas, personally. Campbell was not only a mythologist but also a Jungian, which lent the aspect of deep psychology to the mythic forms Lucas presented that captured us so well.

The original is about humanity's attempt to understand itself. The current films are about humanity thinking that it already understands itself perfectly and only needs to express this perfect understanding. The problem is, the white male characters and heroes are embodiments of this first original aspiration, whereas the minority characters embody the latter.

I do remember getting tons of grief, when I once correctly wrote I didn't like the farce awakens. I was sceptical of anyone other than Lucas making a Star Wars film, because when you really think about it, what made Star Wars stand about the rest, were small things. The style, the aesthetics, the colour, lighting, cinematography etc. It wasn't just the story, so when I saw the first trailer, I just said, nope, that's not Star Wars. I was called the r word, amongst other things, but, they were missing the point. I didn't like any of the new actors, not just their characters. The actors were never right from the start. Disney doesn't have a clue how to make Star Wars, and they never have. There's no reason to think that will change. Star Wars will be resurrected one day, when it's been long forgotten, and it's a passion project for some future director. Hollywood will look a while lot different byvthen too. Disney will be gone, along with all the big studios. Hollywood, not only have a liberal bias, which is decisive and not what people want from their escapism and entertainment, they also purged all the talent, they don't know how to make a film at this point. That's quite a big problem for a film studio.
