Yes. I have liked both The Force Awakens and Rogue One, but it was a mistake to let Disney get their paws on Star Wars.
We're now going to see a Star Wars movie every year for God knows how long. Star Wars was always the most premiere saga ever put to screen. The original trilogy were all three years apart from each other. So were the prequel trilogy films.
There was a feeling that each movie wasn't just a movie, but an event. Or an experience.
That will all be lost soon. We're about to see Star Wars be released more rapidly than the Fast & Furious, Transformers, and 007 franchises.
I'm just disappointed that the franchise I grew up with and loved is now a cash mule for Disney.

The characters don't fit. The Rathtars don't fit. The dumbass force vision from an object doesn't fit. The force being magic doesn't fit. The character arcs from the OT characters don't fit. The Mary Sue doesn't fit. Seeing a planet explode in real time as if it were in the same solar system when it's actually 10's of light years away doesn't fit. ...I could go on. You really need it all spelled out for you, don't you? It can be a shallow rehash with shit characters and dialog, it's the plot tropes and major points that happen in nearly the same order as ANH that make it a rehash. then star wars isnt for you my friend, you dont get it the way we do , do no watch any more star wars films , do not comment on this board anymore, you dont get it , you are not worthy , you are too young to get it Couldn't you say the same thing about the prequel trilogy? Assuming you like those films of course. I mean that was literally an argument made by the prequel apologists in the past.

Yousa ever gone to an ethnic restaurant and ordered something off da menu that was from a different culture? For instance a Japanese dish at a Chinese restaurant? Or an Italian dish at a Spanish restaurant? They might've used all da ingredients from da recipe but it just doesn't taste da same. And that's TFA. They grabbed all the parts and ingredients from the OT but it's not real OT SW. Of course some people will gladly gobble down da fake stuff and then chastise you for pointing out the difference. Silly moof milkers!

No, the prequels proved Lucas was no longer interested in making great SW movies consistent with the classics. Picking Kathleen Kennedy to run Lucasfilm was the big mistake, not selling to Disney.

You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever. You can Trump-grab them by their pussy, you can do anything.

Shut the hell up, Cheetarah Thunderkitten. hey, I used original Trump quotes, what are you a self loathing Trump-tard? Make Umerica a joke again, Jonny! Btw the Thunderkittens have long gone to Moscow to honey-trap horny old Trump. When the videos should come out one day, will you be loyal enough to fab to them? From Russia, with love.

And yes, I agree that it was a mistake for Lucas to sell to Disney. I'd also compare Star Wars now to what the Simpsons became under Mike Scully's run from Seasons 9-12. Instead ending on top at Season 8, the show continued on under Mike Scully and began declining in quality and never recovered. Even I though I don't hate the Mike Scully era, I think it's a perfect comparison to Star Wars because I thoughts Episodes I-VI were excellent and we didn't need anymore Star Wars movies. But no, George Lucas had to sell Lucasfilm to $i$ney and $i$ney decided to announce they are just going put out a bunch of new movies with no heart, time or hard work put into to make them good films that will live up to the Star Wars moniker. And now $i$ney has made Star Wars appeal to a whole new demographic of kids and turn it into something like Power Rangers and Gi Joe. Now Star Wars appeals to people who never gave a shit about Star Wars in the first place. Just like how you could say Mike Scully dumbed down the humor of The Simpsons to make the show popular than it already was. As time goes on, more and more people will start to realize that these $i$ney films are not good, nor are they authentic Star Wars. And people will consider the golden age of Star Wars to be 1977-2005, while the newer movies will be forgotten and rightfully overshadowed by the far superior George Lucas/20 Century Fox films.

Yeah, it amuses the hell out of me that there's this grudging appreciation for Lucas creeping back into the fandom. I hope it grows proportionately as Disney continues to fundamentally misunderstand Star Wars and run it into the ground.

it seems to me that most people today only know how to pick movies apart, and bitch and complain, instead of just sitting down with some popcorn and having a good time for a couple of hours... ^^^THIS^^^

Kathleen Kennedy is LucasFilm, isn't she? I really don't see her as a Disney product at all. ...These decisions and others paint Kathleen Kennedy as a Disney appointee directing and overseeing LucasFilm rather than a LucasFilm boss who answers to Disney. Um, you do know that George Lucas HIMSELF appointed her head of Lucasfilm BEFORE he sold to Disney, right? And that it was a paramount demand of his that she REMAIN head of Lucasfilm, right?

But that was when she was shadowing George Lucas during his production of the Clone Wars animated series. And that was when Kathleen Kennedy was brown nosing, telling George that he was the architect and visionary to the saga that everything should be harmonized to when it came to future projects under Disney. She was even quoted as telling Lucas that "the main thing going forward is to protect the image (& sanctity/heritage) of the characters George created." But that was obviously a lie she told Lucas to get his recommendation when she went to Disney, hoping they would give her the job.

Folks, this right here is proof that when you hate someone you will misrepresent and re-write history to suit your facts no matter what! Lucas HIMSELF appoints this person to be the guardian and caretaker over Lucasfilm and that's STILL not enough for this guy. People believe what they WANT to believe.

George Lucas didn't know (when he chose her) she was going to trash his ideas and push him out.
