Considering that Disney said none of the EU content other than the cartoons they did before the buyout was canon the moment they bought LucasFilm, I would have to agree. Though I wouldn't say it was lost. Shit was straight up thrown in the garbage.
“I’m a stubborn guy and I didn’t want people to tell me how to make my movies,” is how Star Wars creator George Lucas summed up the
secret to his successreason the Prequel Trilogy is problematicFixed that for you George. You're welcome.
I think the prequels were fine. Not as bad as people made out, but still not a good as the original. The sequels were just bad and I think they'll stay bad.
If Lucas did the sequels I don't think they would've been good, but I would have preferred to see whatever they would have been than what Disney made.
Holy shit he's absolutely right.... They should have been 'Munchendizing' from day one!!! Thanks papa G!
Grow up George. Those are Disney's movies, not yours.
( George Lucas said, "Grow up. These are my movies, not yours” when commenting on fans restoring the original movies instead of Lucas' version where Greedo shot first and Jabba was poorly CGI'd.)
What if I told you I like all of Star Wars?
Then I would name you a liar, Ser Reach!
Just kidding. You can like it all if you want. I love that modern Star Wars is basically a big buffet where you can take what you want and leave what you don't want. If you want to gobble down everything on the buffet table, have at it.
Honestly it is great that Star Wars has such variety! I never used to like it all, but finding head canon and leniency has helped a lot to enjoy the more disagreeable parts (think episode 9).
But yes you’d be right, since I will never like the holiday special, nor allow myself to see more than a YouTube video about it 👀
lol, ya think?
my list:
Star Wars (no, I will never ever call it that other thing) The Empire Strikes Back Rogue One Andor The Mandalorian Solo
that's it, that's the whole list. and no I didn't forget that one (killer jungle teddy bears my dick). you can keep every other bastard "Star Wars" thing they've tried to foist on us, which has all every one make me feel run over and used for either my cash and/or my time.
If you haven't seen it, check out The Clone Wars. Quality from episode to episode varies, but overall, it's highly rated and towards the end of the series it's some of the best Star Wars content there is. You can find lists online of the best essential episodes to watch.
I've been rewatching the series (...again, for like the seventh time), and it really is excellent at filling in the missing details regarding how Anakin fell from being a hero of the Republic.
I just hit season 3 with the Mortis episodes. They are * chef's kiss * excellent episodes.
I really thought that Rebels followed a similar trajectory to The Clone Wars in that the first season was good but not great, but then the seasons that followed were fantastic at world building and character development.
I cannot stand nor can I watch that style of animation (all angular and ugly) couldn't do it the first time I saw it, and was supremely disappointed they kept that style throughout all the subsequent SW animation. Could be the holy grail of Star Wars for all I know, I can't enjoy watching it, is all.
Star wars: the original series
Star Wars: the previous (next) generation
Star Wars: lite, new recipe
Star wars: original, a retro call back to the original flavor
Star wars: clones....
