Larry O 115 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 The TIMING of this...https://variety.com/2019/film/news/star-wars-2022-movie-game-of-thrones-creators-1203214646/ The rumor is that Benioff & Weiss are going to be making prequel movies - specifically, Old Republic movies. It's essentially the "Game of Thrones" era for Star Wars, hence why they were tapped. People are going to have their prequel nostalgia tested really strongly by these guys, because if the last 2-3 seasons of their show are any indication, every plotting problem, character inconsistency, and general storytelling jank that the Prequels got raked for are coming back in full force. People wanted to know what it was like to live through that era, I think they're about to find out. Ramin's probably getting a Star Wars trilogy though, so that's good.

Larry O 115 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 yeah, there's quite a few people who were like, 5-6 (basically little kids) when those things were first coming out, and so there's not really a frame of reference for what a weird madhouse the internet was when those movies were being made. They got online way later and only found out long after the fact that those goofy kids movies they liked were the center of some ridiculous hijinks for years on end. There's a lot of Star Wars fans now who only know of that era through second-or-third-hand stories. It doesn't make sense to them (and it probably shouldn't, it was crazy back then) why Star Wars was such a controversial thing. Now they're gonna live through their own prequel era courtesy of Benioff & Weiss. It's gonna be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpy 4,145 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Well, it seems like Lucasfilm and Disney aren't solely in this rut. It seems commonplace for a studio nowadays to have the shit hit the fan constituting in massive reshoots, going over budget, failing test audiences. Films, especially these big blockbusters are more a commodity now than they ever were and again we're seeing these studios compensate to make a film which can be sold to audiences. I would like to know what Netflix project D&D chose to work on over producing a trilogy of Star Wars films which isn't some small pittance, but a lot of money they're walking away from.

crumbs 14,300 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Ditto. Dedicate all resources to Johnson's new trilogy (Old Republic?) and throw the bank at Williams to compose a suite of totally new themes to establish that trilogy and hand off the complete job to Powell. They've worked together already which would probably give Williams some confidence to reunite with him. Fabulin and Remco 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe don’t announce a brand new trilogy from people who haven’t begun to put pen to paper on it! (same for Trevorrow and, gulp, Rian Johnson’s upcoming series), and maybe this kind of thing won’t happen! Disco Stu, Chen G. and Remco 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
