1 of many insulting issues but yes I agree

@@tena2013 It's sad but I'm starting to think the prequels were not that bad, lol.

@@kickytink they never were lol give it another shot (ignoring jarjar and the weird rapey anakin parts in episode 2) and its a great trilogy

@@tena2013 Yes, if you just ignore all the terrible parts the prequels were pretty good. :P They do have their moments but they're not great. Anakin for instance in the prequels is an obnoxious, whiney, self-absorbed idiot which is a shame because he could have been an epic tragic hero. The Clone Wars series at least gave us the competent, selfless, powerful yet ill-fated hero Anakin should have been prior to his fall from grace, which makes his fall that much more impactful.

That might just be crazy enough to work!

Hmm. That reminds me to purchase a Jar Jar action figure at my earliest convenience.

I think the thing about Prequel characters like Jar Jar is that even though adults hated them, they were still very popular with children. The Sequel characters meanwhile were popular with no-one.

@@rattis the prequels got yung children hooked to starwars. The sequels hooked the much older Raylos that do not buy starwars toys.

when they try to blame the fans for not liking movies that are crap? Pretty much the ultimate in attempted bullying. Not to mention utter gall. I take some consolation knowing I haven't paid for anything Star Wars for a long time... boring me senseless is one thing, paying for that privilege something else entirely. I wanna pt out i saw Ep IV at least 20 times in theater - my point is I'm very happy to pay for something as good as "A new hope". WHERE ARE THESE MOVIES?

@@chadcreamer8146 They are creating misogyny and racism! I have been constantly accused of being an "...ist" or a "...phobe" for years now, I have actually begun to hate women in leading roles and I'm refusing to buy movies or games where I'm forced to side with yet another strong female character, I'm sick of it. And being a straight, white male that watched ANH in the cinema back then I have been bombarded with so much sexism and racism towards me, I have become exactly what the screeching blue-haired Twatter mob sees everywhere: A pissed off, deeply racist old, white man. And I have learned it from them: "What, the lead character does not look, talk and vote exactly like me?! REEEEEEE!!" and I hate them for ruining everything!

Agreed.

Remember, remember, cash is legal tender, And Star Wars merch need not be bought. I know of no reason why we should still be appeasing, A franchise devoid of great plots. ;)

It's not a conspiracy it is a narcissist's fantasy. One person wants to steal the spotlight from another.

Me too. Kyle Katarn is fucking awesome.

The EU gave us the single best Star Wars game of all time: TIE Fighter. Imagine a game that dared to let you play as a loyal Imperial pilot.

Even if it isn't canon... Ppl hate when something is or isn't canon. I was like that. But there wss something that changed my mind. I remember seeing long ago, how someone explained some of the Terminator movies and The Sarah Connor Chronicles: alternate universe, parallel realities and all that. So technically it can be ALL canonical, just from different universes, realities, even time-lines. I mean the OG Battlefront, Rogue Squadron, Republic Commando (even the PSP game), SW Galaxies, even Force Unleashed have ppl arguing about the canonical nature, but they're still good, and they're still a part of our lives. And still awesome. So wether it's canonical or not, it's still awesome. And one can always explain wether it's canon or not, we can say it's a different universe or whatever... And still enjoy it. And I can agree with you...

That was always the star wars for me. I loved Jaina solo and growing up with her. Admiral Daala is still probably my all time favorite Star Wars villains. Losing them really hurt my fandom and interest.

That's been his attitude concerning Star Wars in general for a loooong time now, not sure about other characters he's played but yeah he's been done with Star Wars since before ROTJ finished filming. Probably the most heartbreaking crime of this mess is squandering having the original trio back together one more time.

He wanted to quit while shooting Empire, because of Carrie Fisher's sniff-sniff sick days off! :-0

So Mando isn't creative? Or Rebels?

I've never seen The Force Awakens because I knew it would be design by commitee trash. But I never knew how much worse it could get. Disney is so shallow and heartless, like any corporate machine

EU is and will always be the canon for me because there is love and passion put into the stories

Hey now, I worked hard on that character. Though his original name was going to be "Rocky" but Stallone wasn't playing ball.

“It’s not just a Boulder… it’s a Rock…”

I bet their mother was massively disappointed though.

i bet he was originally just a joke in a pitch meeting

And Geode had to approved by about 6 persons I bet for us to see Geode.

how that wasn't leia prequel political thriller I will never understand.

​@@TheCoderaven24 The idea of political machinations, infighting, disloyalty, and the quite possible byzantine intrigue of an Authoritarian State in the hands of Darth Sidious sounds *awesome* - if competent writers were in charge. You want to go somewhere else than Disney for that. Even the fanfiction community.

I did. When he was called Kyle Katarn.

I do

It's my suspicion that the reason Disney de-canonised the expanded universe so that they could cherry-pick and steal ideas from all the writers and artists and programmers etc to pepper their "spreadsheet-dominant, demographic-obsessed and committee-created" films, and not have to pay any royalties. That's why we have Han n Leia having a boy, who trains with Luke and falls to the darkside; or taking a character like Kyle Kattarn, as you said, and repurposing him into a bland cardboard cut out in a film composed of bland, one dimensional characters and constant call backs n references, to tell a story that we already knew from the first SENTENCE of the original opening crawl; and just basically rinse-and-repeating the same tired old story, or telling stories that no one wanted (like, prequels in general are shite. Because they fundamentally lack any tension as we know what the ultimate outcome will be. Han Solo's alive in the OT, 🙂so no worrying there. Chewie? He'll be fine too. Lando as well. All the Rogue one characters : never appeared in the OT, so they obviously all die. And we know that the Rebels succeed with the plans. I don't need to know how Han got his gun. Or how he calls Chewie "Chewie" because it's quicker than saying "Chewbacca". It's tediously mundane and there's simply no stakes or suspense. Creatively bankrupt as Rich Evans says. Christ, what a long, looong rant... X

Facts-aint that the truth (typing while drinking out of my ROTJ burger king coca cola glass)

Absolutely true. The end was brilliant.

Because it was made with passion and love and he put a little of his soul into it. Especially the end, that little bit was art. And there was no art in the sequel trilogy. KK would not allow it.

@Disney Luvs Big Dix I've seen you post then exact same comment on other videos. Disney Plus is well ahead if its plan and projects, like millions more users than they were expecting. Its doing well, fastest growing streaming service. HBO max is doing well too but has something like half as many subscribers. Plus some of those didn't actually subscribe but got it with other existing packages. Dunno who your "friends" at Netflix are but maybe checkout the actual numbers.

Your not wrong, I thought the same thing

And it'll work too.

Nice idea, fire him

@@Rac1Recon4469 lmao

She said in that one line, that 'there is no source material' outside the movies.. She ... I thought honestly she was trolling because no one in CHARGE of star wars would not know about the ENCYCLOPEDIA of material available.. right? That should have been all anyone needed to know, to fire her before she even began.

It's hard to believe ANYONE could be that stupid-the EU worked-yes, it had plenty of stinker stories, but not in a way to diminish its immense success in the hardcore fanbase, such that you never found many Star Wars books in second-hand bookstore, because fans wanted to fill out their collections. The stories mattered, and built on each other-the hardcore fans could be pleased without pandering and by risks being taken-Thrawn, and later, the Vong, foes different from yet another Sith user or turncoat Jedi. Kennedy should have atleast incorporated the EU's greatest hits, and used them-but didn't think to, becaus all she was was a film gal, and a shallow one at that.

There's corporate demand to make a movie, but they have no story to tell.

I gotta admit, that's probably my favorite Vader scene, with Ep. 3's butchering-the-Trade-Federation in close second. : )

Nah! Another example of butchering a legend. He was turned into a low level thug. I will give a poor example as I don't have the space for a detailed explanation.

@@jtcob8486 Because The Mandalorian firs had to prove that a series like this is profitable.

Star Wars: The Universe Of Madness!

Mando is the only decent thing that's come out of Star Wars in many, many years.

Literally NO exaggeration! I watched this TWICE in a row, [yes, a full hour!], and it still feels like it was too short! I almost SWEAR this should be an OFFICIAL television program of some kind! A+! Case in point: As a Trekker, Star TREK is going through virtually the EXACT same thing since Paramount/CBS bought it! The corporate producers and directors BOAST about how they are going to take Trek in whole new directions, [almost bragging about proverbially SPITTING IN THE FACES of the decades long loyal fanbase]but then when their corporate vision doesn't pay off....they start bringing back all the vintage characters and actors, they arrogantly turned their back, as damage control! Again, I think Michael has possibly outdone himself....again!

Disney = garbage

@Vili T Excellently put! On all points. 👍 As Michael has said before (paraphrasing) "I'm not afraid to confront my interests.....for what they ARE. Too many people let their interests be their proverbial security blanket.....for what they are NOT. It's like if I tried to sell you a literal bag of crap, you would refuse and turn away because it would rightfully be utterly disgusting. But I guarantee you that if I put an official Star Wars logo on that same bag of crap.....I guarantee you that about a hundred people out there would be like 'Take my money! I know it's a bag of fowl crap! But now that I know that it's LUKE'S excrement? I GOTTA have it!' " 😂👏👏👏

@@tadpolegaming4510 It’s hard to when your recommendations keep giving you stuff like this. Seriously, first I got nothing but countless Captain Marvel rant videos, now this “I hate Lucasfilm now” stuff.

I think the firing of Gina Carano has an even bigger effect then of Luke. Mainly because it was based on extremely hypocritical political reasons and especially if you take into account that what Gina said is extremely benign to all the vermin the rest of their new brought in actors & writers have been saying over twitter. Personally I think Lucasfilm is done. They even managed to sour any interest over Indiana Jones by going to the press and proudly proclaim how woke & 'the fedora is female now' the next instalment is gonna be, which for normies means: absolute dumpster fire garbage!

@John jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt My dad visits me regularly. So no need to jump to conclusions there.

Have you seen that video that explains why they scrapped the EU? There was a theory (proven true) that Disney was essentially broke after buying Lucasfilm and didn't want to pay out royalties to the authors of the various EU books the films were going to be based on. So they did their own terrible knockoff versions in the hopes of saving money while still being able to turn a profit simply because of the Star Wars name.

@@tadpolegaming4510 Disney? Broke? Sadly that’ll never happen

This sounds like an episode of Kitchen Nightmares!

How was it a mistake? He made billions of dollars. He didn't do it to make better stories.

Wrong! They don't want to milk or not doing it right(by selling to fans what they want). They use the name Star Wars as a vessel for their woke propagandas and indoctrinations aimed at younger generations and to and to distance themselves from the old fans in an attempt to destroy existing Western culture. Their goal is control of opinions.

The biggest mistake he ever made was not firing kk back in the 80 when he was making the Indiana Jones movies. I just don't understand how such a worthless human being (that's me being generous) can fail up like that. It's like she was being groomed to destroy everything Lucas built over his lifetime.

@@zerosaber257 they wouldn't really have much profit in doing so, and as such they wouldn't really do that

No it doesn't. I have questions. If she was that bad, why didn't he fire her? If she was that bad, why did he recommend her to Lucas, aren't they friends? What exactly did she do that Spielberg kept her in the game, knowing that she is actually useless?
