so like, i know they got rid of the extended universe, but what about the prequels?

for instance im thinking of how the Empire only really existed for 25ish years, not really a significant amount of time for people to forget about space wizards with laser swords

Disney is retconning the prequels.

The Boba Fett movie is the first one that will do this and the Darth vader movie will do the other parts.

Star Wars is about selling toys to little kids and it will do that in spades. Hence it will be a huge success.

The are all lovely movies for the most part, though. None are what you would call "good."

you gotta adjust expectations depending on what you're watching though bro

like yeah it's not going to be some cinematic masterpiece high brow art thing but it'll have space ships pew pewing at each other and it should be good based on those low standards! it's fuckin' star wars lol goons gotta be so serious all the time.

How about instead of watching a trailer for a kids movie, we act like adults and talk about how we're going to avoid the trailer to not be spoiled for this movie? This movie that is for children. Don't spoil this movie for children for me.

the reason i think star wars is going to be bad beyond it being star wars is the star trek movies weren't very good. the first one was fun but the second one was terrible. abrams is a hack. should have had sam mendes direct star wars. then i'd be excited. spectre is gonna be better than the force awakens.
