The TRUTH Behind Lucasfilm REVEALED! (Why Star Wars Has Been Terrible)

[@ClassicHarleyQuinn]

Truth is they've announced 14 Star Wars films and non of them are ever getting released. 😂💀

[@maxmazzotti6651]

Star Wars was better under George the Disney change my mind

[@Paul_1971]

And all getting announced a week or two before major shareholder calls, funny that.

[@svenkampen1647]

Rumor has it that they announced one every time they had bad press so people would focus talking about those, but they had bad press so often... well....

[@spectralnighttravel]

I think they announce a ton of new things to see what generates enthusiasm. As none of them have, they're moving forward with what Kathleen Kennedy wants, which is more Rey.

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

[@maxmazzotti6651]

Rey isn’t the most important Star Wars character. It’s just Anakin and Luke. Father and son.

[@animelytical8354]

They are dead

[@ngrjordi2352]

[@svenkampen1647]

Yoda, Obi-Wan, Han Solo... the joke is to assume that a pointless trilogy like the sequels has any character importnat to the greater star wars. Kylo is just a retread of a Jedi that fell to the dark side and then died redeeming himself. Poe is just some good guy pilot, Finn could have added a new dimension to Star Wars by exploring the bad guys grunts, but was little more than comic relief, and Rey is just some Jedi chosen one awkwardly rehashing and trying to one up the original ones. Snoke is essentially a stock Sith-Lord cut out of the movie, Hux a clownish version of a villainous officer. No character is anything than a fairly badly executed Star Wars archetype that failed to add anything. Is there anything Rey did not any Jedi character could have done if the plot had decided to put them in the position? I don't see it. If you replace her with Mace Windu hiding out on a desert planet and becoming the hero of the resistance nothing changes. He can hold up his lightsaber and get Palaptine to electrocute his face. Try replacing Luke. I don't see him dropping his lightsaber and being like "sure electrocute me I disproved your philosophy" and get Vader to turn around and save him. We know that because like Rey and Luke he had a confrontation with Palapatine. Heck, friggin Jar Jar Binks as an outsider of an indigineous population who becomes a bridge between two people allowing them to defeat their common enemy and built lasting peace between them is as annoying as he is still something new Lucas added to Star Wars and has more of a claim to being an important Star Wars character than Rey.

[@iceprism367]

Funnily enough one of my favorite childhood shows is based on OG Star Wars with a similar father/son parallel (Ninjago). It was great for over 10 years. Then some new writers came in about a year or two ago and changed it to feel more like it's based off the sequels and changed all the lore. They added a new protagonist who is held up to be so much better and more talented than the original protagonist (just like Rey). This shit has infected another beloved franchise by association because of grifter writers who had just left Disney Star Wars after a failed animated show. Yeah, the new writers for the show had just left that one Star Wars Resistance project no one liked that got canceled before they started on Ninjago. I swear destroying Ninjago and disrespecting it's lore is some sort of cope from them after their actual Star Wars endeavor failed.

Same here. I was young, exactly the target audience, and the only thing that's ever captivated me this much was when the Lord of the Rings hit the big screen (I'm a bigger Tolkien nerd than SW, but I digress). Disney did manage to speak to my inner child with the first two seasons of Mandalorian, and Tony Gilroy (who does NOT operate on Disney's playbook) captivated my adult self with Andor. But almost everything else this company has put out has been sheer garbage. I can only hope my kids will fascinated by Skeleton Crew as I once was, and I can be as happy with Andor S2 as I was with S1, but beyond that, Disney has effectively ruined my childhood.

[@MoriMemento117]

So, they are having trouble making star wars because they can't storyboard, and they think a plank of wood is their most important character? Hmm, I agree. That's quite the conundrum.

Great video. Thank you. The sad truth may be that Rey is their "most valuable cinematic asset", which tells you everything about how worthless all their other "assets" are.

[@TheChristianPsychopath]

Here's how you fix things with a Rey movie. Ashoka and Rey cross paths on Ossus. Rey follow Ashoka into the World Between Worlds. Ashoka has realized Ezra screwed up time by saving her, so she nobly sacrafices herself, letting Vader kill her to restore the timeline. Ashoka fades and Rey emerges to see a thriving Jedi Academy run by Master Skywalker and his wife Mara. No one believes her about the old time line except Marcos (Finn) who is training there. She sees Kylo, only everyone calls him Jacen in this timeline. His redheaded young apprentice is Ben. Worried he'll fall to the darkside again, they follow him to a peace summit with Correllian separatists. There Rey senses the presence of a Sith, Lumiya. She and Finn confront and kill Lumiya, preventing Jacen's fall to the darkside. Rey realizes this new timeline is better for everyone and makes no effort to change it back. Luke and Mara have a daughter cause that was a missed opportunity. And Rey accepts she's not a Skywalker and that's okay cause she can forge her own identity now.

[@ChildOfTheFlower]

The problem is that their idea of "new things" is undermining the accomplishment of the original trilogy, the Jedi and any character created pre-Disney.

[@JurassicRod]

Pure propaganda when they tell us Rey is so valuable. Trying to convince us she's great!

[@SoloJona]

Star Wars is probably the first fantasy thing I ever remember watching. I was raised both with Episode 6 on VHS which I rewatched constantly, as well as all the hype and marketing for Episode 1 back in the late 90´s. Star Wars has been my life, my toys, my videogames, my costumes, my birthday parties, and my reliable escapism entertainment since ever... and I felt so empty the other day when my little brother asked me if I watched the Acolyte and I just couldn't muster the words to express how I don't care anymore for my favorite thing ever. I stood there trying to say "I don't-- I-- I don't--" all I ended saying was "I just don't, anymore" and it was as sad as losing a loved one

[@MrFish1124]

They need to just stop hiring writers who openly hate or are completely apathetic towards Star Wars as a franchise. That would help a lot already. Second, they need to realize they actually do have a lot of younger Star Wars fans, but a lot of us are white men and that makes them angry. Thirdly, and this is the biggest one, decanonize the sequel trilogy. If they can they can come out and say they messed up and commit to those films no longer being canon so Star Wars, they could potentially earn back some good will. Not complete forgiveness, but potentially leniency on an upcoming project.

[@insertclevernamehere1186]

We don't have anything other than passionate storytellers who get together and talk about what the next iteration might be." This is why Star Wars is failing... because you have ignorant people like this in charge.

I've noticed a growing trend of talking brand names instead of author names in fan spaces lately. In my opinion it's always better to know who's writing, if they're the original author or if they actually care about the initial thought/intent behind the franchise. Overall the original will always be the purest form of that initial thought/intent and anything else is purely fanwork which can only get close, but never truly be the original.

I still don't understand how you expect them to admit that you were right. At this point they are like a mortally wounded animal that runs away, as soon as it stops it dies.

They will continue until they hit the iceberg rather than change direction and get off the helm.

[@arobotarmy9878]

All they have to do is rollback all the Disney Star Was “canon”, produce the real sequel trilogy from Lucas’s treatments, and then faithfully adapt the beloved stories from the EU novels, games, and comic books. Easiest and most profitable path forward.

It’s not that Star Wars only works on nostalgia. It’s that the ENTIRE DISNEY MODEL WORKS IN NOSTALGIA. Disney? Live Remakes Marvel? Comic book references Star Wars? The same things people knew but worse. It’s ridiculous how the Legacy era and even cases of the Old republic era could make connections and references to both the original trilogy and the prequels while still remaining on its own, now even considering bringing Darth Revan and his era to life would also mean exploiting a nostalgia that shouldn’t be touched. I mean, come on! Just by looking at the sith! The last sith, Darth Wred? Inspired by Vader, defeated by a Solo, still died a noble purpose like 150 years after the movies just before Disney showed up with the bills. Darth Krayt? Former Jedi, lived the prequels, lived after the originals, still forged a name for himself a century after what we knew Darth Talon? People can call out sexist designs all they want but she managed to be a villain not easily forgotten There were countless sith across the past and future that reflected how much authors could dive around with creativity around the filmic property, building a bigger place, how do you get stuck as a director of Lucasfilm with a bunch of films that won’t even happen and try to force Rey to save it all???

Since they are incapable of creating new things, they have to always fall back on something, but nothing else exists besides Rey.

Or make a new Sith that isn't intimidating in the slightest, if Kylo is anything to go by, they way he walked looked sloppy, an emo brats who he screamed all the time. They even did this to Vader in the Kenobi show, they had Vader shouting. Gone are the days of great Sith villains, Vader, Sidious, Dooku, Maul and that's not even mentioning the Sith in the EU, Vitiate/Valkorian is one of the goats in my opinion, up there with Revan, Nihilus, Malgus & Bane.

Darth Vader with an AI generated voice under license is the strongest asset Lucasfilm has under its exclusive license. If I was heading up Lucasfilm, I would cash that token for a three movie project that explores Vader from the end of episode 3 to the end of episode 6. Take all of the woke out of it and make it the story it was meant to be. Three movies would be grrat byt you would get more out of three seasons of 12 episodes each. Maybe more. Vader is going to sell and you can springboard the reboot with lots of characters that already appear in the rxtended universe. Stay consistent with the EU canon. Nerds are gunna nerd. But there's a couple billion dollara yo he cashed and that is the ace in the hole. RIP James Earl Jones. May theybdo right by your legacy.

The reylos won't accept a Rey movie without Kylo Ren/Adam Driver involve. And Adam had said he wants to move on from this franchise. If Lucasfilm give her a new love interest or recast Kylo with another actor, I think they will lose that part of their fandom. Also John Boyega and Oscar Isaac won't come back. What will happen to their characters? Who else is left ...Rose Tico? The girl who was the ex- stormtropper from RoS?

it's amazing that disney rarely makes a muppet project, and when they do it's near perfect. can't say the same for the 14+ star wars projects they tried to release and they try to make it the main tentpole of the walt disney company.

[@kolkagaming1234]

I think they should’ve not have Milked Star Wars after the Sequel Trilogy came to an end. Now I feel like a few projects have made Star Wars look like Scrap Wars.

Star Wars will go on in history as the first franchise to fall victim to the decade long woke regime in hollywood.

[@andrewostman3135]

I remember Star Wars.... What ever happened to it... I remember their last film :the last Jedi....did they make any more after that?.... I thought there were supposed to by 9 from what Lucas said...

[@martinporter5219]

This was fing hilarious!!! I enjoy your videos. Keep up the hard work.

[@iceprism367]

It's rediculous that the beginning feels like something you'd actually have to say by this point. It would be hard to believe Star Wars was universally beloved with what they've done to it. 😢 Edit: 6:33 Omg, this clip is pure accuracy 😂

[@sulijoo]

If you think Star Wars is far from George Lucas's vision now, what the hell do you think Star Wars will be like in 20, 30, 40 years? Who said these IPs should go on forever? Star Wars was 3 bloody movies. That's it. It's done. We all need to move on, not just Disney. Disney Star Wars failed precisely because it is so contrived and forced; it was never authentic.

[@hamiltoncox7651]

Amen. It's a story that has been told. Everything else is just fanfic no matter who is producing it. It's ludicrous to think these ancient IP's are like sports teams.

[@NotFadeAway522]

I clearly am in the minority but I'd like to see a Rey movie, but only if it was meant to redeem the sequel trilogy and the character. Episode 8 was a huge mistake and Episode 9 was an absolute disaster. Making a movie that tries to get the series back on track and logically transition to the next phase of the franchise is not a bad idea at all. If they succeeded, it would also show that the the fanbase isn't against female characters, but against bad movies.

[@jspaingreene6350]

While I don't have your optimism or love for Rey, I respect your opinion. Unfortunately, I don't think you'll get what you're reasonably hoping for. They just don't have the vision.

[@nicolasferreiro4492]

​@@jspaingreene6350There's no vision capable of redeeming the ST. It's a whole nonsense that can't be explained, and those who think it was 8&9's fault are still on denial over 7.

[@ryangreen6255]

Yup. I feel that way with Star Wars and Marvel. I'm done with both franchises.

[@gridman2742]

Say what you will about the prequel trilogy, but it tried a LOT of new things. Nostalgia wasn't the ONLY driving factor, and the Sequel Trilogy never understood that

[@takanara7]

5:15 - I wasn't looking at the screen and I though they said "Star Wars is a nostalgia bait enterprise" ( 'bait' instead of 'based') lol.

[@ItachiUchiha-ut6xj]

"Star Wars is your kid on drugs." 😂😂😂

[@JacobDeem13]

It's a shame Star Wars used to be the most popular franchise ever to being lower than dirt. Lucasfilm did it to themselves though. Unless they start to make. new. things & make them good (I doubt they will), I can't be excited for SW anymore. But visiting SW legends material has been great

[@kimcampagna9383]

Good job, J.B.!

[@troypeterson2156]

lol. Perfectly stated. “Star Wars… was”. Period. It is no more. It will not, I cannot be ever again.

[@eltiket]

Here is the hard truth: The sequels ruined Star Wars. Particularly for its handling of the original characters and their stories. When you deconstruct everything good that the franchise had built and put in its place an inferior soft reboot, you put yourself on a collision course. After the sequels, I no longer have any interest in how the story continues. Not even for new stories. Not even for the new characters. As long as the sequels exist, I have no choice but to return to the expanded universe. Even with all its problems, it is still an infinitely more satisfying sequel story than the one Disney made.

[@williamedwards4151]

I mean...they tried making something "new". It was called The Acolyte. Honestly, they're just hopeless. I'm in agreement. I'm just...done. I've got better things to watch and do.
