My point isn't to tell you Lucas's secret goal, or what it became, and in the world of opinion there is no such thing as "no, no , no , oh and no". To the original fans that made Star Wars popular it was all about the futuristic technological sci-fi fantasy. Politics didn't creep in until the prequel, but it was necessary for Padme's poorly conceived role oh and the muppet senate:/. The clear line between good and evil is supposed to be there(unlike in rogue 1). The princess may have been a smart female, but she appealed to teenage boys because she is needs to be rescued by a sword wielding knight. Tension between Han and Luke over the princess simulated the need to win the princess(another teenage boy fantasy), and the same thing is true for Lando's original role. In fact the cherry on top is when it is clear by ROTJ that Lea is Han's girl, while Luke and Lando break the evil emperor and all of his toys.
Are you trying to say it is liberating for females to want to be a maiden in distress like the princess, or choked to death by their much more powerful Skywalker husband? the first 6 star wars were totally cannon in that the ending is the death of the sith and darth Vader(though vader's redemption is un-cannon). The endings of the last steaming piles of crap churned out by Disney are so un-cannon they may as well leave the words "Star Wars" out. So far Yoda and Luke are apathetic and Luke couldn't be bothered to do anything outside of his home. Even if Disney pointed the cannon in the right direction again and made Luke come back as the new sith lord the other 4 movies made by Mickey mouse will still wreak of emotional drivel.
complaints about the prequel seem kind of insignificant at this point. Now we have a situation where Luke Skywalker and master Yoda's blue-glowey both tell us that the force and all of the knowledge that they have means nothing. Essentially we were told as fans that Jedi is unimportant to star wars and that we like star wars for no reason at all. They could have just as easily stopped mentioning silly scientific reasons to fight tyranny and just kept the epic battles going. What people liked about Star Wars was the way good beats evil in a hyper-technical future. Luke Skywalker was supposed to be "you", or someone similar to you as the viewer, and lets not forget the demographic for sci-fi fantasy:teenage boys.
It felt to me more like a standalone colonoscopy.
The same thing was true of 5 year old crybaby Anakin
It would almost be poetic if they forced Harrison Ford to come back with some hidden contractual obligation. They could make him get killed by Kylo Ren again. I'll bet Kylo Ren gets killed in slow motion by remote control the same way Snoke got killed, and Kevin Bacon got killed in X-men: First Class. It makes an epic battle much easier to write, and if someone whiney screams about how terrible it is then there might be an emotional response...in silly teenagers.
I think a-lot of people stopped caring when JarJar said "meesa gosa bombastic boom!"
Also when Anakin said "I am haunted by the kiss you should have never gave me"
Now they just can't find a nail big enough for the coffin with whatever these new movies are supposed to mean.
Haha
They will, but not through ticket or toy sales
Ray will impregnate Fin with the force, and he in turn will impregnate Ray and Rose to have force sensitive children. Fin will then revisit his name and say "FN-2187 doesn't sound like Fin, it sounds like F%$#ing to me". Since Ray is secretly a Skywalker, the new offspring of Skywalker will be the F%$&ing skywalkers". Luke will re-materialize and tell us how unimportant George Lucas, lightsabers, blasters, and muppets are. By the end of the movie Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck will defeat the F$%&#ing Skywalkers thus making Disneyland, DisneyWorld, and original Disney movies ticket sales skyrocket. In the years following the end of good cinematic experiences the new socialist order that steals all money and freedom the entire world will confiscate all guns and use them to kill off the lazy unmotivated slobs of the modern era. Don't forget to take Dramamine before you sit down for this one!
