Datameister 2,044 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I can relate somewhat to a lot of this. I feel like my own excitement about upcoming movies has just generally decreased with age. Probably very normal. Part of it is just a scarcity thing, I'm sure. It's great to have near-instantaneous access to almost any noteworthy film or show, including a steady stream of new Star Wars content from the last 5 years, but to get really hyped about something, you've got to be denied it for a while.

Hm. I think, I don't agree. It is mainly a matter of the quality of the content. The main reason why my excitement about start wars decreased that much in the recent years is the dissapointment on so many aspects of the recent Star Wars content from Disney. The Rise of Skywalker was the death blow in conjunction with the Mandalorian soundtrack. I treat everyone to enjoy current Star Wars content. Simply I can't. At least not in the way I used to. Last time was probably Rogue One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1Ø66 4,718 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 The last time I was genuinely over the top excited about a film was the first time I saw the ROTK trailer. "Become who you were born to be" and "I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me..." (that latter of which is a different, and superior, delivery of the line than the one in the film) still gives me chills. Just an amazing trailer. Was so excited to see ROTK I flew from Moscow, where I was living at the time, to Amsterdam just to see it opening weekend.

GerateWohl 4,370 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 It is obvious, that the people currently developing star wars content don't have the point of view of the inventers who made this stuff up from scratch more or less out of nowhere or from all the known classical references. They have the view of people that grew up accepting it as given and existing, so they just play around with it, quote it, repeat it or bring in ideas that where already overused at the time Star Wars was created and why Lucas avoided them. Exception to a certain degree, I have to admit is Dave Filoni. It is a little bit like composers who claim to admire John Williams music but are not able to achieve the depts of his work. Even if some people say Williams refuses to evolve. I think, we heavily evolved. With Star Wars, Empire, Indy and others he made heroic marches in filmscores popular, and while almost all other composers afterwards were starting and still writing marches for their adventure movies Williams moved on and did something else.

Last time was probably Rogue One. Sure, I think disappointments totally play a role in it, too. In the world of Disney Star Wars, my biggest disappointment was probably TLJ. Although the film has grown on me since, that letdown definitely affected my excitement about what's come after. And the way TROS failed to bring the whole trilogy together didn't help. But I still maintain that scarcity is a factor, at least for me. It's a lot harder to get truly excited about something that's always easily and plentifully available.

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 It's strange. For me, I was always very suspicious of The Force Awakens. So even while I thought the trailers were great, I went in a little arms crossed and after seeing it, I let myself get swept up with the hype because why not? It was fun. Of course that deflated hard two years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
