The films are what they are. Its not like they can redo them with the original trio (nor Williams). Enjoy their scores (and movies, if they are your cup of tea) and call it a day.

Chen G. 3,943 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 This sounds like utter nonesense, particularly this bit: Quote here is some kind of “civil war” going on at Lucasfilm, between a faction that seems to be headed by Kathleen Kennedy, representing “new Star Wars” and one headed by Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau, representing the “classic Star Wars” and the Lucas vision for the franchise. Its just a fan taking the people helming the Star Wars product he (or sh...okay, lets be honest, its a he) happens to like, and labeling them "good" and Kathleen Kennedy as "bad" and inventing some kind of war between those people and the person who is, in effect, their boss. Ludicrous. Also, how are the sequel trilogy/Skywalker saga boxsets selling? That'll tell you everything you need to know about any interest in decanonizing it.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Long before this "leak", I read chatter on a Disney forum about a potential shakeup in Disney's LucasFilm. Any CEO should be concerned by constant firings over "creative differences", dwindling box office returns (Including a huge flop--Solo was an absolute monster) and the lukewarm response to a baffling billion dollar expansion of Disneyland with none of the classic characters or charm of the series that seems to have been a curse on the resort. Attendance was possibly never lower in recent years than last summer when Galaxy Edge opened. A place that was normally a madhouse was a ghost town. It's a lot of wasted time and money. The Mandalorian was a huge success and it's a big card that Disney has to play right now with their company in the dumps. It's SW getting back to being like SW with cool masculine characters, believable strong females and Nick Nolte. The film and theme park industries are in the shitter for the foreseeable Coronian future, but the future of SW on streaming services is viable. Disney+ launched right as everyone was forced to stay home because of the 'Rona. Tydirium and Unlucky Bastard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpy 4,145 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 This rumor seems like utter bollocks. It's the same bitter wishful thinking all the butt-hurt Star Wars fans had when they wanted a remake of The Last Jedi, or that there were a bazillion cuts of the Rise of Skywalker and in-fighting between Abrams and Disney. It might be true, however, that Disney have seen the mixed reaction to this trilogy and the experience of making it and moving forward they'll simply just leave it be and invest in the newer trilogies they're planning. crumbs and Chen G. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. Neither fans nor the casual moviegoer will forget about the “bad” ST just because they’re taken out of canon. Do you think the general public would care? The damage is done. 15 hours ago, Arpy said: A retcon won't change that outcome, if we think it's a loss for Disney in the first place. Correct. Better to move on, forget about losses and bad decisions, and focus on whatever “wins” lies ahead. Better to focus on new endeavors such as TV shows and games until they’ve grown popular enough to warrant a spinoff movie, or enough time has passed so that they just make a new movie with new characters all together.

What is there to flesh out about the ST, though? We all got what we wanted, right: Rey searching for her parents for three movies, learning they were fine people and then discarding them completely because Skywalker needed to be the last word of the movie.
