Well, not a huge shock if that's real. Their plans always seemed focussed on characters from decades ago. I'm not sure how popular a Boba Fett origin film would've played if they Disney'fied it.
Hell, even Darth Maul in Solo wasn't very pleasant.

They could have just tried not making a SW movie every single year, and allowing directors creative freedom instead of hiring two meta comedy directors and then getting mad that they made a meta comedy before reshooting the thing and ballooning the budget.
But I suppose just not making spinoffs altogether also works.

In other words, after the horse bolted Kathleen Kennedy decided to close the stable door. It makes me wonder how Disney and Lucasfilm will react when Episode IX underperforms. I see there's a poll on TheForce.net where over 50% of respondents say "I was more excited for both TFA and TLJ than I am for IX".

I heard they're planning a Rogue One spinoff series on Disney Plus, maybe that's where they'll take any of these spinoff ideas worth exploring.

But I suppose just not making spinoffs altogether also works. They fucked up royally with TLJ and they know it. They've going to have to figure out a way to win back fans before pumping out side movies.
After TLJ and what they did to Luke Skywalker SW is dead to me. That was the first main story SW movie I haven't seen in the theater. I was too young to see the SW when it came out but I saw it when the SE were released.
But I didn't go see TLJ. I finally caught it on Netflix and it is truly awful. How they could fuck up that badly with something as big as SW is just baffling to me. But they clearly realize they fucked up and did permanent damage to the golden goose.

Had you not seen the prequels before?

Well I'm sure you didn't walk in wanting to hate it what with it being "the first one you hadn't seen in the theater". BvS' shittiness didn't effect Wonder Woman's box office. It did its actual followup, JL, however. So we'll see how much this "no one went to see a movie they never really wanted to see because of TLJ" theory holds up based on Rise of Skywalker's box office. |

This is probably a good thing. I think at this point Star Wars works better for shows. Clone Wars and Rebels are the best Star Wars we've gotten the past 20 years and I'm still waiting for my Mandalorian show.
Also, those who are saying Star Wars is dead or ruined, grow up. One bad movie doesn't kill a massive franchise. Star Wars survived Jar Jar Binks, it can survive TLJ.

#MakeSolo2Happen was top news on Twitter all day.
I think an Obi-Wan movie would conclude a nice trilogy fitting inbetween the PT and OT trilogys nicely.

Knights of the Old Republic. WOW, That is Pretty Interesting.
Could it be that's what either Rian Johnson's Trilogy (if it hasn't already been canceled, I know that there are a lot of rumors saying that it has) or the "GAME OF THRONES" Writers Trilogy will be about ?

Since " SOLO" showed that Darth Maul was still alive, If they do an " OBI-WAN KENOBI" Movie then they have to have the 2 of them have 1 Final Lightsaber Fight against each other (to settle it all).

Best Plan for Star Wars IMHO...
Do only Trilogies. Part X, XI, and XII or another prequel trilogy when Yoda was young...
And do them 3 years apart. Make people miss them.
Episode X in 2022, Episode XI, 2025, Episode XII, 2028.
No Spin Offs.

It did its actual followup, JL, however. So we'll see how much this "no one went to see a movie they never really wanted to see because of TLJ" theory holds up based on Rise of Skywalker's box office. TLJ made 700 million less than TFA too. How do you lose money on a SW movie? The fucking PT made all kinds of money and they were garbage.
Quit making excuses.
I didn't go in "wanting" to hate TLJ and that's a pathetic excuse. I was looking forward to seeing Luke Skywalker back in action after 30 years. I TLJ hated it because it's a POS and it shit all over Luke Skywalker. TLJ's plost was like something out of bad fan ficiton. In a universe where they have the ability to destroy planets from orbit......the climax of the movie is a bunch of AT ATs and a giant laser shooting at a door lol. Think about how fucking stupid that is. And the heroes are flying a bunch of crappy old speeders straight at these giant war machines.
Boy, that Rose Tico was a great character huh? I bet your favorite scene was her riding around on the space horses and telling Finn that the only way to get rich in the SW universe is by selling weapons. I mean, on Earth the richest man on Earth made his money in retail and tech. Sam Walton owned stores, Ray Croc sold hamburgers, Warren Buffet made his money by buying and investing in companies but in SW despite there being thousands of planets and untold trillions of customers in SW apparently you have to sell weapons to become rich. That's the only way lol. Or Johnson was just making a stupid hamfisted political comment. It's definitely one of those.
It's all been gone over before but right off the bat they're making your momma jokes and making the Empire look like Spaceball villains. Did you really enjoy that? Did you really enjoy the opening scene when the Rebels are using slow lumbering easily destroyed ships 30 years after the OT where they CLEARLY had much superior ships and weapons? Yeah, I get it, they looked cool and were a WW2 reference.....but it was DUMB and didn't fit in with SW.
Neither did wacky Yoda or him using lightening. If force ghosts can affect the living world why the fuck didn't Yoda and Obi Wan help Luke? Why didn't Qui Gon help Obi Wan? Why don't all the dead Jedis help Obi Wan?
Did you really enjoy seeing Finn and Phasma fight again? Boy that was memorable, right? How about BB8 piloting a chicken walker (after the top had been conveniently removed of course. Did you enjoy Super Leia? Did you Enjoy Admiral Holdo and Admiral Ackbar being killed basically offscreen? Ackbar's only been a mainstay in SW for 35 years. Why not invent a purple haired spaced lady nobody knows or cares about to be in charge? Did you enjoy Holdo using a ship to destroy a giant Star Destroyer? Why didn't they just do that to destroy the Death Star? Just get a bunch of old junk ships and launch them at the Death Star. Did you enjoy how Holdo had to sacrifice herself? You know, because in SJW Star Wars apparently they don't have auto-pilot or droids? Even though the PT had droids piloting ships and computer controlled ships and that was what, 60 years before TLJ?
Did you like how Rey was such an amazing fighter literally days after she left her desert planet? She was taking out Snoke's elite guard. That make sense, right? She had so much training in the week before lol.
And that's not even getting into what they did with Luke. We waited over 30 years to see Luke Skywalker again......and instead of him doing anything he's a bitter old hermit and we have to watch Finn and Rose get arrested for illegally parking. ILLEGALLY PARKING THEIR SPACESHIP lol. That's like something out of a Mad Magazine parody.
But yeah, it's definitely just because I went in "wanting" to hate it. Or it was a godawful movie that made 700 million less than it's predecessor and caused Solo to bomb.

Episode X in 2022, Episode XI, 2025, Episode XII, 2028. No Spin Offs. Disney just wants to make money. They're going to run it straight into the ground.
George Lucas lost it in between the original trilogy and the PT and he's been accused of being all about the money when it came to SW but the man could have kept pimping SW out after ROTJ. But he didn't. He quit making SW movies, he quit selling toys. I mean people forget but from the late 80s until the mid 90s there was almost no SW merchandise being sold. It was a big deal when Zahn's novels came out because it continued the story.
But Disney is just going to keep making SW movies and they've already lost their uniqueness. SW is just another franchise now, like Fast and Furious, Jurassic Park, Transformers etc.
And they've fucked up the SW mythos and universe so badly with TLJ I honestly don't see how they can fix it without just ignoring TLJ.
