Water isn’t wet. It makes things it comes into contact with wet.
I agree with the sentiment she’s saying, but there are a few inaccuracies. I don’t think the new saga was good at all, just to put that out there.

‘Star Wars’ Editor Marcia Lucas Slams Kathleen Kennedy and J.J. Abrams: ‘They Don’t Have a Clue’

I was pretty disappointed when the prequels came out and it was just Jango fetts everywhere. I always thought the clone wars was more like secret invasion from marvel and the jedi were the only ones who could tell who were clones so they were killed off. So kinda like Zahn.Zahn’s trilogy is the perfect sequel trilogy. It’s my canon. It introduced great new characters and ideas, did the OG characters justice, told a ripping yarn, and captured the essence of Star Wars. Why the fuck they didn’t adapt the Thrawn Trilogy is something that pisses me off still to this day.
Instead we got absolute drivel from Abrams and his merry band of morons, and whatever self indulgent crap Rian was trying to pass off as a Star Wars movie. Abrams has single-handedly ruined two great franchises, but the prick keeps floating up to the top. Grrr.
edit: just realised I already said the same shit, in this very thread a year ago
Kathleen Kennedy needs to go. Filiono and Favreau surpassed her years ago. Her lack of direction and planning helped ruin the sequels. Now they've completely cheapened Star Wars, especially the films.

Agreed, how they never used those books seems moronic.

They didn't make it rhyme, like poetry.

Actually the new movies rhyme a lot with the two previous trilogies.

She's clearly got no idea what she's talking about, the sequels were masterpieces.
That looks like clown world supreme.

They hilariously scream into webcams in YouTube videos how they must bring back George Lucas to remake the sequel trilogy...when his outline was The Last Jedi...

I imagine the waiters at Red Lobster are dressed up as lobsters like this. I'm not from US so cannot fact check.

Some of her complaints….
Leah’s out because carrie fisher died. Harrison is old as fuck and probably wanted out…he’d be out in a decase anyway. Luke…yeah that was dumb I’ll give her that. All told, I get her attachment to the OGs but must we keep them forever? At some point we have to move on.

Skywalker, AT walker.
Han Solo, yolo.
Chewy, wookie.
R2, pew pew.
CP30, let's go.
Kylo Ren doesn't rhyme with anything.

Yeah, did you notice the delay from the Imperial guard when attack his saber? Shit choreography. That Imperial Guard also looked like he was a bumbling idiot after the two interactions. lol..... . .. .. .

Seems like one of many articles trying to justify how awesome TLJ was or deflect criticism by trying to attach Lucas to it and well forgetting that execution is a great deal in delivering this and details can make it or break it even though there may be surface level similarities (let alone how this was how VII started and how it was given space to develop instead of killing Luke off right away to try to remove a barrier to the new lead character… which has failed btw).They hilariously scream into webcams in YouTube videos how they must bring back George Lucas to remake the sequel trilogy...when his outline was The Last Jedi...

For the faults the prequel trilogy had, a coherent story arc was not one.

The prequels were poor, the originals were a hit... but nothing's as bad as the Disney sequel shit.

No they actually released the concept art from Lucas’ version in books. That’s what it’s from and it’s true whether or not you want to accept it.

The sequels were so utterly bad, they made the prequels look kinda rad?

I am not saying it is not true, but if you think it would have come out like TLJ instead of sharing “some” beats in different ways… but no, concept art proves Lucas was doing a TLJ like effort. Luke would have almost certainly have had a proper arc, not being put down / demystified to make space for a new generation that has failed to generate anywhere near that impact.

The books confirmed his outline for 7 was TLJ. When Abrams was hired, he threw that out to remake ANH.

Even from the description posted the movie was really different (why he felt broken and the self reflection more than rejection of everything he believed in), if Luke had died would have been in the last episode. Outline means little… execution, details, and how it fits inside the trilogy means a lot more.

Luke died in Lucas' episode VIII.

A page from an upcoming book asserts that George Lucas planned to kill off Luke Skywalker in Episode VIII as well.

Oh whoa… two movies vs part of one. Again, final movie Vs excerpt and concept art of not a finished script… once more execution and detail matters, but we are moving forward. From angered defense to “Lucas too”Luke died in Lucas' episode VIII.

… and well rumors and speculation (we do not have Lucas’s own work stating that) as we have “people defending TLJ trying to paint this as Lucas too” that are pushing this line.

Yes, we do. That's what the official books are drawing from. These are official releases, not gossip rags.
JJ took Lucas' outlines and threw it away to remake ANH. Lucas' original Episode VII was basically TLJ but with different character names, and The Jedi Killer (who became Kylo Ren) was seduced to the Dark Side by Darth Talon from the SW Legacy comics because Lucas had some kind of fetish for her (he also forced her into the cancelled Darth Maul game). Rey/Kira came from a snow planet in his Ep 7 instead of Not-Tatooine and the sunken Death Star wreckage and Palpatine used in TROS was a Lucas idea; although Kira was ALWAYS a nobody in Lucas' version. His point of his ST was that the family name was stronger than the bloodline, coming from his 20 years of raising three adopted kids. Kira was to become a Jedi in Lucas' version and take the Skywalker name, but she was never meant to be the daughter of anyone and just have a high midichorlian count. That too, Lucas' ST wasn't going to have any X-Wings, TIE Fighters, or nostalgia bait and be all about the midichorlians everyone hated from TPM.

I've stopped caring about most of my childhood fandoms. The only thing of marginal quality from Disney Wars is Thrawn, but it's still bad fanfiction. Same way that Star Trek ended with the last episode of Enterprise.

It had one key thing the sequels lack.
Amazing world building. The creativity in the worlds, tech, clothing, etc., shits all over the super serious drama in the ST, that is even devoid of a coherent story.

Again, we can stop talking past each other, TLJ taking some story beats and jamming them in a single movie (story beats or certain element != full movie script != letting it breath over a trilogy). We are at the “well from 10,000 miles those two painting look the same, they have similar colors right?”.Yes, we do. That's what the official books are drawing from. These are official releases, not gossip rags.

You keep saying TLJ was Lucas’s EPVII and conveniently side step aside you know on tiny fact that why and how Luke is there (and the relationship to this Jedi Killer Vs Kylo) was different and how he was not due to die until the next movie or the end of the saga (if at all, what has leaked has been contradicted and the people leaking and “revealing” things has a quite clear new trilogy protecting motive).
