It’s almost like they rushed the movies just to set up merch sales and their theme park section at Disney land. I just don’t get it. They are going to look back and shake their heads at this disjointed mess

I remember hearing that Lucas had prepared an outline for all nine installments of a triple trilogy back in the 70s or 80s. If true, I assume that must have been tossed aside. Can't imagine that he would penned such a disjointed mess, especially back before he became a bloated, egomaniacal jackass. As bad as I, II and III were, at least the overall story line was mostly coherent. It was the execution that failed. If only someone could travel back in time to 1983, make him watch the shitshow that his baby would devolve into later, and scream at him "DON'T ****ING LET THIS HAPPEN!" |

Finally watched this shit show. Better than the previous one, i guess that's about as high as praise as i can muster. Ignoring the major problems for the moment, how in the **** do they have c3po willingly agree to have his memory wiped and not use THAT opportunity for the callback on the line "never underestimate a droid?"

It was his money, though. It wasn't like he was taking money from a studio, then producing those films.
I've mentioned this several times before but Lucas did reach out to every A-List director at the time but no one wanted to touch a Star Wars property because in the end, it's a losing proposition. Just look what's happened to JJ Abrams, Rian Johnson, Chris Miller and Phil Lord, Gareth Edwards and Ron Howard since directing Star Wars films. Outside of Howard, their reputations were dragged through the mud for months, if not years, on end, they were threatened on Social Media and fans boycotted Lucasfilm releases. Sometimes the best move is the move you don't make. |

FYI, Lucas' third trilogy treatment was even more ****ed up than what we got.
It was like the "Innerspace" version of Star Wars, with a whole lot of shit about midi-chlorians. We dodged that bullet but still got a terrible knife wound. Like I said, should have just given it all to Filoni, or hell, anyone who did a Marvel movie. **** JJ and **** Kathleen.

...completely explains their acting in this scene, too.

Having now read about 8-10 of the EU novels, it's even more mind-boggling to me that Disney ****ed this whole thing up.
They were spoon fed several great characters and storylines. All they had to do was make a half-hearted effort to harmonize them and turn them into screenplays. Hell, they didn't even have to stick to those stories, but the foundations were in place. And they just absolutely gacked all of it. It's completely inexplicable.
