Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

The prequels are not amazing, sure, and Lucas should have not directed them by himself that's apparent but they were at least inventive in look and story. The second and third for sure. But for all their faults they weren't a tired rehash of trying to catch lightning in a bottle. I enjoy them despite the issues and more importantly, I remember the storyline. I had to refresh myself on The Force Awakens because I couldn't actually remember a lot of then plot other than finding Luke and Han dying. NuSW is just not memorable.



I'm guessing it might be Han's ex-wife but she's sassy black woman (tm) in the Marvel comics.

Well the Prequels for all their problems were a united vision of one man and created with for the most part with general love for the series that Lucas created. Those movies added to the Star Wars mythos which told how everything got to where it was. The new slate of movies are sadly wheelspin. Alot of revving and smoke, but the story isn't moving forward at all.

Not to mention that the main conflict of the Prequels was interesting, exciting, and fresh enough to open the floodgates for tons of comics, novels, games, and a couple of acclaimed TV shows. The main conflict of the Sequels is so derivative of the Original Trilogy that I highly doubt it will be as popular or expanded upon as the Clone Wars ever was.

Heck, the Clone Wars went on to become a rather good television show with something for kids and adults alike to enjoy with making us care about "disposable" cloned men. Why should we care about the conflict about the same scrappy Rebels against a massive empire when a war between two equal forces leads to more interesting conflict in the long run?

Plus it had a good female character who grew as the show progressed (Ahsoka Tano), brought back Maul along with building his character, and included characters from the 2D animated Clone Wars series (Asajj Ventress) and other new characters not seen in the movies (Cad Bane).

Gotta disagree. The only thing that was novel about the conflict in the Prequels is that the name now makes no sense (if wars are named after the weapon you use to fight it, shouldn't every war be named the Gun War?). The prequels fail from a storytelling standpoint because they commit the crime that most prequels do: they don't make us rethink what we knew. You can understand the story if you cut them out completely.
 
I hate the new film because it didn't interpretated what I want for a film. And has a great reason to get a petition to be removed from the theater

I love the prequels. I think the new films shouldn't count as canon whereas the prequels act as an actual film. The new films is just Las Lindas in space. Why does every movies I hate on rotten tomatoes gives higher ratings than movies I love? What a terrible world that I live in.
 
I can see the Solo spin-off being the first nu-Wars that bombs when even normies can catch up on the abysmal difference between classic Han Solo and the inevitable Marvel quipfest that the new one will be.

Although maybe I'm giving the average moviegoer too much credit.

It's hard to say if the Solo movie is going to do well, taking into account that it's bassically competing with marvel at the moment, for the dumb fun blockbuster movie and most people seem aware this movie is going to suck. On the other hand it's star wars so can fucking say?

The house of mouse is most likely getting quite twitchy , not in the least because its other big tent pole franchise is running out of time. The flawed nature of current industry practises means they need Star wars to pick up the slack once Marvel runs its coarse but that means cashing fan good will hoping enough small children latch on. The Mouse controls its public image very carefully and it's hard to discern what's going on behind the scenes I think their's a real problem with lack of unified vision and confused executive meddling.

Looks more like an EU novel cover than an actual film poster, sadly. Then again, this is something that would work better as a novel, anyway, IMHO.
There was a trilogy of novels covering Han Solo's early life.

I thought that she might be playing Bria Tharen (pictured in the cover above), but according to IMDb she is playing a character named Kira.
