TonyTricicolo Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Disney intends on releasing two Star Wars movies in 2026, one of which in May and the other in December. It also looks like Rey's movie will be first. https://screenrant.com/star-wars-new-release-dates-2026/ Edited June 14, 2023 by TonyTricicolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTricicolo Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 I'll hold judgement until I see it. I like Daisy Ridley and she didn't deserve some of the hate she got. People tend to conflate actors to the roles they play. Yes, Rey was a Mary Sue and the premise of her deserved the hate, not the actor. People did the same to Hayden Christensen. The dude was a chill guy just playing a role and didn't deserve the hate he got either. Does that forgive a lousy movie? Absolutely not. However, time and separation does weird things to the human mind. When the prequels came out I just couldn't stomach them. 10 years later, I rewatched them and actually really liked them. Now I consider Revenge of the Sith to be the best in the series. Who knows? Maybe in ten, twenty years the sequel trilogy will be somewhat watchable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that highly. The Prequels had soul, the sequels are corporate trash. They haven't aged well until now and will age even worse if you give them 20 more years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EanothBoba Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) I have mixed feelings about the Sequels, On one side, I enjoy the idea of it and it would have been amazing for the characters to reach their full potential, yet I also feel like they were wasted and that Disney just wanted to capitalize on the Star Wars brand and didn't put the thought or effort into it like George did, so by sending off the sequels they lost more OG Star Wars lovers and gained ones that think that's the normal, while I think that Daisy Ridley and everyone else did a great job and tried their hardest and didn't deserve all the hate, they just had wasted potential. Even George Lucas hates the Sequels, so I'm not sure what to think. (Also, there are rumors that there may be another three movies coming into very early production to try and fix the Sequels, yet you didn't hear it from me) Edited October 17, 2023 by EanothBoba 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThanderSnB Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Weren't they saying the reason Solo failed was because they released too many Star Wars movies in a short time? Why would they think it has changed now? To me the biggest problem with the sequel trilogy was the story not connecting well. They should have sat down and wrote out the whole trilogy in the beginning, then made the movies based on that with small story tweaks as needed. Instead, each movie was written independently and somehow had to fit with the previous movie. It was stupid to think independently written movies would fit together as a trilogy. Hopefully, they aren't making that mistake again with the second sequel trilogy. I think a second Star Wars movie could work if it was different enough. A Revan/Old Republic might have enough interest or an animated movie like Clone Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In and of itself, isolated from all Star Wars lore that came before it, it wasn't a bad film at all, even in the context of all those releases. The problem (for me) wasn't that context, but the weird conflict with the previous lore of the SW universe and the film, especially the fact that the young Lij Tafari Makonnen(1) (er, oops, someone whose initials are LC) turned out to Spoiler cheat at cards which was (for me and certain others who post(ed) here) a major disappointment. (1) You might be more familiar with this person by his better-known identity of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Elect of God.

It didn't blow me away, but I did have a good time. I also read the book and think the extra material there (without the cuts they had to make for the film) improved the story.

It's one thing to make Star Wars stories that are your own, but remaking and ruining that which many grew up on and came to love SW because of would be the death of Star Wars.

TonyTricicolo Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 Yeah, apparently Rey is becoming Luke from the Expanded Universe. Kind of insulting if you ask me. I'd much rather prefer a show with a de-aged Mark Hamil or Sebastian Stan as a young Luke set right after ROTJ then this. Disney is destroying their IPs. Don't even get me started on the new Avengers lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the moment GL sold the franchise, Disney owns it. Of course Disney will eventually remake the OT and PT. I think, just like with Marvel, they're just waiting for GL to pass on. Most fans won't like it but then Disney's target aren't the older fans but the younger ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, Lucas explicitly stipulated in his sale deal contract to Disney that they wouldn't remake HIS 6 films.

Therefore, utterly superfluous to argue it. -------------- Now then, back ON-topic here.... The 'Rey Trilogy' should be released only in theaters ( no initial streaming ) . Yes or no? Go!

Daisy R. wants to do 3 ( since she doesn't have much else career-wise ) and signed on for 3 potentially but technically it of course all depends upon *Box Office* receipt$. I'm very curious to see how--or if-- Disney handles that large vocal section of fanbase who absolutely HATES "Mary SueWalker" more than Anakin hates sand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, side note: Do you think all the haters would've turned ( pun intended ) if Abrams had the guts/greenlight to make Rey actually BECOME the Darkside---> https://www.starwars.com/databank/rey-biography-gallery?image_id=5ea8b6e4a00250005906f069 in Ep. 9 ( Chewie would've maybe had to die after all ) thereby truly completing her more logical 'arc' AND honoring her post-haste *Emperor* bloodline.....which btw would also solve the whole "Mary Sue" problem. This way, Kylo/Ben Solo's redemption could've still come at the expense of his life BUT it would've been REY who betrays him and slays him.

Look what they did to Boba Fett. They took the Alpha Predator and castrated him then made him a comical Beta. Now they can sell his toy to children. He's PG friendly and marketable. Okay, if Rey is the new "Luke from the EU" then she will have to mirror his trials and tribulations. If she is not tempted by the Dark Side then it's going to be one boring a$$ movie. She most definitely has to have a more darker wardrobe. I'm going to call it now.... "Somehow, Palpatine returns" She is after all a Palpatine. Deep in the recesses of her soul lies old Sheev and I guarantee you that he'll be involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, i believe back in the ole original days ( 1980's ) bad Boba still sold wayyyyy more toy$ anyway, no? Lucky for me , i refused to give Disney+ money and never even watched "Book of Boba Fretts" ( just read about it and saw YouTube highlights ) Ep. 5 Empire Strikes Back Boba will forever = the TRUE Boba!!!!

What I'm talking about is that Disney already owns SW. It can do whatever it pleases with it since they have ownership to it. So if Disney wants to remake the OT, it will. Undercutting their 4b purchase? Well Disney is already doing a fine job at it even without remaking the OT and PT. I suspect Disney is only doing what it did to Marvel--to wait on GL's passing before they remake the OT and PT. But make no mistake about it, they WILL. It's Disney. If they're remaking their own Disney classics, nothing will stop them from remaking the OT and PT. And if we're unlucky, we may see it as well.

No sir, that's what i tried telling you above ^^ but i'm not sure if you really read everything i typed in detail. Part of Lucas' contract/deal states that Disney WON'T remake HIS 6 films. ugh i wish i had the reference link to help you understand but whatever not like it matters much lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTricicolo Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 @Nee-Elder Get this, Rumor has it that one of the possible scripts for the Rey movie involves: Spoiler She being pregnant. How, you say? By that "cringey" kiss. Yep! The Reylo fans will rejoice as her 9 year old daughter will be a "true Skywalker" and together they will fight Darth Plagueis.
