Could JJ Abraham reboot this?
Hear me out. I think there is a conspiracy where Hollywood hates its audience. It is for political reasons. For example even ESPN tries to inject political content into sports, and has recently banned all their comment sections similar to how Amazon eliminated IMDb.
This is why a hugely profitable too big to fail franchise like Star Wars was purchased only to be run into the ground. The profits are still large but dwindling. That's unimaginable. It should have been a slam dunk. It had to be intentional. What they did is they took a beloved franchise and tried to universalize it by removing all value and culture. I have heard some people say they turned it into a superhero franchise where anyone can use the force and do anything as a pretext for frenetic battles between cyphers. It is accessible to anyone and used as a platform for espousing Hollywood political values, like tokenism and the global shopping mall. Star Wars was a shared cultural experience for many people who grew up with it, a way they can relate to each other. Hollywood wants to take away anything that unites us culturally and have us all isolated from each other with nothing distinguishing because everything is a big brown mass of sameness. It's dehumanizing.
Movies about Ancient Greece and Rome like Gladiator conspicuously leave out anything to do with religion or gods, compared to Mel Gibson movies like Passion of the Christ or Apocalypto. The usual pattern is Hollywood allows a good movie to be made, usually by accident, and then sucks out all the exhilaration and replaces it with blandness. There was no sense of space exploration in new Star Trek. The other method we see used by Hollywood is for something like Harry Potter which is very heavily marketed and pushed into culture. You see entire categories about Harry Potter on quiz shows like Jeopardy, or college classes about it. It is inorganic top down cultural Astro turf. The woman behind it is extremely political in the way that Hollywood likes.
Discuss please.
