It's going to be safe that's what it's going to be.
The lesson Disney's going to take away from the ST is that taking risks and being "subversive" hurt the brand so the NU trilogy will be written to be as inoffensive as possible.
They'll also probably be some effort made to get the old fans back on board.

It is incredibly sad that director's would rather work for Netflix, take that money and work under the shitty wokeness that is Netfux, than make a star wars movie and/or series of movies.
This is what the Star Wars brand has come to. Making a Direct to Streaming project > Cultural Icon Movie.

Problem with that is: What does inoffensive mean in that context?
This term means a lot of different things to many different people, so I guess they will learn the wrong lessons from this shitshow and accidentally double down on some of their worst decisions. They might not shame Han or Luke any more, but they will certainly stumble further down the slope of the shitty agenda added to -nay!- forced upon Star Wars.
And for that matter, with Leia, Luke and Han disgraced and every other character from the OT made insignificant or shamed, how could they hope to bring back old fans?
Maybe by using R2D2 as a staple of the brand? Since Anthony Daniels now has been thrown by the wayside, they could go with R2D2 being the last OT element in SW to remain, which is awefully convenient, since all he has to do to invoke nostalgia is random beeping and bobbing.

1, 2 or 3? 1 is where Leia save Luke from the Dark Side, 2 is where Anakin Solo is born and 3 is where Palpatine is destroyed forever when he is destroyed forever by this guy https://darth.fandom.com/wiki/Empatojayos_Brand

I only know about Dark Empire, the thing that launched the Dark Horse releases. I don't know about sequels.

Somewhere in between I guess. 3 Chicxulub-teir asteroids hit before the rest are intercepted. The sky is completely blanketed by dust for at least 3 months and it takes 30 years for the environment to recover. In the immediate aftermath there's anarchy and public utilities are all broken of course. After a few days less fucked up areas get food and medicine from the UN. Lots of people migrate to Luna. Amos is at ground zero and it turns into a post-apocalyptic book for 6 chapters. Other than those chapters the story is about the war going on but I really like the sci-fi idea of everyone living in space colonies and ships after a disaster. There's... something oddly comfy about that.
Sadly I doubt the belters will wear anything that interesting.
Book 4 was my least favorite so hopefully the new season is better.

So it seems even Wikipedia is trying to salvage Galaxy's Edge's reputation.
en.wikipedia.org
www.fool.com
Typical top-notch research there as usual Wikipedo. I always like how they use "some people", "certain individuals" or "certain professionals" with choppy references to get their point across and create the illusion of hard hitting and unbiased research. That shit may be excusable in a conversation but not when you're trying to make convincing articles on a site that supposedly prides itself on professionalism which too many people take at face value. But even this little entry is nothing compared to their management of the reception sections in the TLJ and ESB articles.

And by "some visitors" they mean just one guy from the Motley Fool called Rick since that's the only reference they have. And the reference in question doesn't even post any physical proof of these "mass crowds" except for a video showing the park being empty and one picture of Rey and Vi Moradi with Rick's hulking girlfriend.
If Disney World's "Star Wars" Land Is a Flop, Why Is It So Crowded? | The Motley Fool
Crowds seem to be picking up at the second of the two Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge expansions, fueled by a media blitz and the opening of a new mode of transportation to get there.

Technically, it was Luke, his jedis and Han who finished Palpy off. All Robo-Humpty Dumpty did was protect Anakin Solo from crazy Palpy's possession by getting in the way only for him to die right afterwards. And the reason he looks the way he does is because he was rebuilt by a primitive species of aliens with backwards technology. Its definitely a prequel-tier conclusion which is probably why George liked it so much, but as I've said before, I'd rather deal with silly prequel-tier shit that doesn't treat its characters like battered housewives than the hostile and arrogant creations of Disney.
So this is really what they're going with? A fucking webnovel in this day and age where Chinese audiences would rather play gacha mobile crap or watch shitty knockoff cartoons? They couldn't even spring enough Disney bucks to make it a webcomic or webmanga like they're doing for Japanese audiences? Not even some poorly animated webtoons? This is just beyond pathetic. Its cheap and desperate to boot. They're so desperate for that Chinese cash but they hardly put any effort into it out of fear of failure, again. And they choose to start doing this shit now instead of more than 5 years ago when they should've been doing market research? But even so, TFA did well enough in China that it did inspire some interest before release, but as I've said before, the Chinese weren't moved by cheap nostalgia that has little relevance in their culture and the groups of Chinese SW fans didn't want the hollow and unoriginal crap Iger, JJ and Kennedy were pushing.If Disney Star Wars wasn't already crazy enough, now the ride is going to get even weirder. Disney and Tencent are now teaming up to write a Star Wars webnovel that includes "Chinese elements" and is intended for a Chinese audience. So, basically we're either going to get relatively grounded wuxia Star Wars, or an over-the-top xianxia or xuanhuan version instead. I wonder if we'll see a multiverse-destroying Luke Skywalker or Rey by the end of the book, as is typical of many xianxia and xuanhuan novels.
And 40 older webnovels are going to be translated into Chinese, apparently, but I don't know what is meant by that vague statement. Presumably, the article means older Star Wars books rather than 40 random webnovels.
Catering to the Chinese market to this extent most likely means that the Chinese market really does not like Star Wars, and that Bob Iger is desperate to change that. I wonder if Disney is basically Blizzard 2.0. behind the scenes.

I’ve seen a lot of biased bullshit on Wikipedia this year, but sadly this takes the cake.
Can someone help me understand what the fuck compels your average ideologue Wikipedia editor to tank current events articles with a political bias then immediately turn around and suck the Disney’s multi billion dollar corporate dick?
Because you know it’s all the same people.

I've honestly come to expect this kind of shit from Wikipedia that it doesn't even surprise me anymore when I see anything new about them mentioned. What I do find kind of weird is how divisive SW has become, a level of divisiveness and arguing that's almost on par with modern political discourse and cult-like devotion to one's party. With shit like Game of Thrones, Terminator and CISbusters, everyone just kinda rolled over and accepted how bad it all got with no attempts to argue against the hate. Defenders just surrendered or claimed "let's not talk about it anymore okay?" and Critics didn't go all out to call haters Bigots, russian bots, nazis or some other buzzwords while defending said media to death, but with SW its like a sacred cow (even if its not the same cow anymore, just a horse Disney painted to look like a cow) and you'll see people go into lengthy discourses over its status and defame anyone who goes against it. SW is without question a key part of American culture and holds a special place in the memories of many people in the Western Hemisphere who grew up enjoying SW media and merch with their parents, but to go this far into discourse and biased faggotry over it, which is most prominently seen in media outlets, despite that these same media outlets had no problem shitting on George and his prequels (even for years after the fact), just seems so very odd... Is it because SW merged with another shitty cultural icon with a cult-like following ie Disney? Or is all this just a result of Disney controlling so much of the media now that it only feels like things are so big and divisive?
Also bad news, Anthony Daniels is getting harassed on Twitter by Reylos for speaking his mind about Disney Wars.
Some even wishing him and his character to die. Like how fucking exceptional have these Disneytards become to wish death on people for speaking their mind? This is beyond political discourse and just straight up "BEHEAD THOSE WHO INSULT DISNEY WARS! Holdo Ackbar!" If any of you have Twitter accounts, I suggest you go and show Daniels some support before he's pushed into giving into the fear mongering.

I don't have a twitter, but if you do, tell him that there are still old fans who appreciate everything he's done, and that we're sorry for him, for Hamill, for Lucas, and for everyone else harassed and driven away by this new, toxic fanbase.
C3P0 is a billion times more human, relatable, and real than Rey will ever be. I'm sorry that Daniels is now getting shoved into a corner, just like Hamill before him, by angry Reylos. Their tears will be like the finest of wines.

I am okay with admitting that it’s not the end of the world that the new movies are mediocre at best, but god damn if you even suggest to the nu wars fandom that hey maybe the movies kind of suck, the amount of hate you get back is astounding. It goes beyond anything I’ve ever seen from the elitist nerds and enthusiasts by suggesting that if you don’t like product, then you’re not just stupid or have bad taste, but you’re actually a terrible person.
How the fuck did we get here? This weird modern place where your opinion on mass media is treated like an ideological line in the sand? It’s fucked up.
I just wanted to them to make a decent fucking film.

There is one big difference between a Disney Monopoly and say a Ma-Bell monopoly. I don't need movies, I can get by without TV entirely, you can't do that with Phones, or Railways (back in the day), Disney buys everything..and makes it sucks so much ass that people don't watch it? Whelp they will just go watch other things.

Because for these asshats, it's about taking insular communities and opening them to the mass market (even if the market appeal is already there or doesn't exist), while at the same time demanding their own personal sacred cow stand alone and uncriticized. It's part of the same shit you've all seen by now politically, so I need not elaborate on that part further.
In the end none of them care about the franchise; they care about it being something they can take away from someone who won't kiss their ideology's ass (Nerds in general) and turning into one more propaganda outlet from which they can fap themselves raw over how morally superior they are to you.

I remember when Anthony Daniels was at DragonCon in the Mid90s. This was when it was OK to walk around with leather, electrical tape on your nips, and be one step out of a BDSM Mad Max film. Ole C3PO himself was the "Guest of Honor" at this fetish event where he was the narrator while women (barely more covered than a thong and X with electrical tape) on stage were:
1. Getting eggs broken over them while being saran wrapped to a spinning wheel
2. Being beat by a flaming Cat O'100 tales (Daniels himself took a few wacks at that)
3. Basically being tied to a cross and electrocshocked on all the fun parts, again C3PO himself laughed while cranking up the voltage.
All in all a great time that probably scarred me for life (I digress) , and all these fucking harridans can't wait for him to move over so ReySue can shit all over the screen.
I so wish we could fry these KarenKlones in a 1MegaWatt Microwave oven.
