Hmm. I don't know. I'm not sure Disney is able to save the franchise honestly. I enjoy The Force Awakens, but it had its issues. But The Last Jedi was downright suicide on every level. It spelled complete disaster and cost Disney everything. That's when I decided I was going to pretend the sequel trilogy never existed. My collection ends at Return of the Jedi!
They're doing all right. People just get too involved with Star Wars. They forget it's just a movie. I tried watching Phantom Menace on those grounds, though, and still, it's too awful. I mean, it doesn't start that bad. There's nothing I can't get past. Thinking it's pretty good...and then here comes Jar Jar Binks. I swear the appearance of Jar Jar must be nerve racking even for fans of the movie.
Also, what's with the gentleman's agreement between the Jedi and the Sith not to fight when someone is using the force to move a heavy object? Count Dooku can apparently defend against Yoda for up to four seconds with one hand while he focuses completely upon something else. They don't show Yoda, but what is Yoda doing, just aiming for Dooku's lightsaber?
George Lucas said during an interview his favorite character in the Star Wars Saga is Jar Jar Binks. You know he was lying through his ass, but wtf did he care, he just sold the franchise to Disney and now has a net worth of over 6 billion dollars.
The Phantom Menace was ruined for me when a Jedi could not avoid running into jar jar binks, near the beginning of the movie. Qui gon could deflect laser blasts, acrobatically fight Darth Sidius, control objects with his mind, but could not avoid a ridiculous goofball who was standing still
See, I'm not that anal about movies even. But I can't get past Jar Jar, period. He just doesn't belong there. And his character is never really developed, either. I'll still watch the whole movie for the good parts, but I can't deny that the movie isn't essentially ruined by the Gungan.
I thought about Mark Hamill today. It would be trippy to see him. There's no way for me to think of him as anything other than Luke; though I know he must have a life. I was thinking about when Star Wars came out (the original)… I bet Hamill went to Studio 54 (the famous nightclub).
There is a Matrix 4 coming our way in 2021 Ist Matrix movie is the only movie I have watched more than the Star Wars ones Even though Matrix 2 and 3 were shit, still excited about 4, and yes Keanu has already signed on as Neo
Matrix two and three which I enjoyed, were a nice complement to the original movie which I admit was a superior film.
It's the same with many sequels; Ok but not as great as the original. Pirates of the Carribean is another good example. The second and later ones might be entertaining, but the first one did everything right.
