The prequels (and the whole discussion) were just thriving on the hope that - with some luck and some genius - Star Wars could be resurrected. And we watched the stuff because we just WANTED the stuff to be as good as the saga we've grown up with. Some might even say that the shit hit the fan with ROTJ. In any case, SW is dead. And it has been dead for at least 25 years. Come on. Why do we lie to ourselves. Watch something else. Disney releases Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) Me: So this is how Star Wars dies.

SteveMc 2,674 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 This was a strange thread. If anything, by the way, Star Wars helped set the tone for the Reagan era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 How did it die? Drugs? Was it drugs? A heroin overdose? Was it apathy? Was it raped and murdered? Type 2 diabetes? Too many skin tags? Someone tell us please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 No it isn't. The spin offs were horrible(especially Solo) but VII and VIII were both very good movies. Can't wait for ep IX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_deleted_ 203 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I look forward to the new trilogies. But Star Wars without John Williams is a fundamentally different experience. It’s like Der Ring des Nibelungen without Richard Wagner. lol what if Hans Zimmer wrote the ring cycle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
