I hope the Rey movie will be a hit. We've had too much hate online and some people I've gone into discussions about discourse with want to give her a chance.
Zero interest in Rey anything. BOYCOTT Disney Star Wars is now unintended PARODY of itself. They are 60% of the way to Spaceballs; and they don't even realize it.
I'm most looking forward to the next Rey movie after the Mando movie. I'm super excited to see the ST characters AFTER the Skywalker Saga has concluded. As I'm reading thru the Legends "Fate of the Jedi" series, I could see a similar story opportunity. Definitely excited to hear more news about the Rey movie moving forward!!
…Besides, Lucas did THAT already, it was called the PT! But so called “fans” hated it so much that they took him to court over ruining their childhoods…Guess they forgot THAT? Well, I didn’t.🧐 And it was because of that lil’ tidbit of history that led to him selling Star Wars to Disney in the first place. I say let this serve as a lesson_ You can’t have it both ways.😌
Hey sevenfold. Andor too! That show is amazing. Best of the disney sw. Can’t wait for s2. its definitely better than mando and is just as good as the original trilogy.
I agree with you. The Fandom palette needs to be cleansed. The Mangold movie would be something fresh. I'm not against a Rey movie, but the writers need to develop a great story. Don't rush anything. A good story wins every time.
She has directing experience in different genres, one of which is Star Wars. I trust Brice a whole lot more than Obaid-Chinoy. They still need a good writer though.
Well to be fair, the last three movies really weren’t a trilogy. Other than the characters, there was not much in the way of connective tissue in the sequel trilogy.
I disagree. One of the themes in the sequels is bloodline and how it affects your identity (Bloodline was also the title of a SW book released just before The Force Awakens dealing with Leia). The sequels have their flaws, but so does the original and prequel trilogy. Also, imagine Return of the Jedi being released today. Teddy bears defeting the Empire on Endor!
@@Sevenfold120 You underestimate the power of Disney. They can bring any character back from the dead, or place them in a timeline before they were born. Such is the power of Sith Lord Kathleen Kennedy.
There seems to be a major disconnect between studios and the fans. It says so much that someone within the production machine says 'forget the fans.' (Has no one looked at the numbers for Aquaman 2 where the same was said?) The other major issue is the writing. Do these writers understand anything about the genre, the project or why the revenue source, aka the fans, are so passionate about the stories, characters and the built worlds? Too many of these projects seem to be ego driven without a care about outcome.
@@MeanMrMustard1 LOL. Ok Disney simp. I've been an avid SW since before you were probably born. And I was looking forward to this one as much as anyone.
@@bsmithhammer I've been a SW fan just as long, simpleton. And yeah, I like Disney. So what? Nearly everything they've touched has turned to gold. They have very few stinkers. That tells me they always get the best people for the job.
I don't like this argument. If you're a writer, and you have a story you want to tell, even if it's a bad one, you shouldn't be restricted on telling it just because it might "upset fans."
My god, this is insanity. Meg is spot on about making the “Dawn of the Jedi” movie first. The only way to get excitement back into the franchise at this point is to do what Favroe did in the first season of Mando. Something new.
Why making a spin off with a character that never was all that popular to start with? I could imagine watching a spin off with Finn, making him have the character arc they imagined for him to have from the beginning for instance
Why does it only seem to make sense to the few, that if you have something that works, move in that direction. If you have something that doesn't work, move away from that direction. DISNEY has it backwards.
Agreed. You can’t please everyone, and it doesn’t go well when you try. I’d say TFA gets that a little, too. But then again, I rate TLJ alongside the prequels (flawed, but overall good stories with interesting ideas), so I’m a bit biased.
This movie needs to get shelved like Rian Johnsons trilogy. Just act like they are still working on them but slowly stop talking about them until we know the movie is scrapped. Every project that comes directly from Kennedy is doomed. These people are not even trying to be diplomatic
I hope they don’t cancel the Rey movie especially if they are setting up Abeloth as the main antagonist for the post sequel era like I’ve speculated due to the events of Ahsoka
Hey kevin. Why are they doing this?! Why can’t Disney understand?!🤯🤷. After the acolyte disaster im completely done. But! Andor is the only one im excited about! Can’t wait for s2 of that good show. Best since original trilogy.
I liked The Force Awakens. I liked Rey. Is is the right way to get a huge, triumphant return of Star Wars to the big screen? I doubt it. If Disney wants to generate excitement about the return of Star Wars to the theaters, they ought to do something that the fans - not the creatives at Disney - would be *excited* about.
Fans have never been solidified since 4 to 6. They moan about writing ,the cast , the producers anything that a movie has with a SW brand attached 2 it. Best leave it be.
Nicholas Meyer wasn't a Star Trek fan. During his research, he figured out what the fans found appealing and how to appeal to non-fans. He was respectful of the source material and the audience. You know, a professional.
Totally agree. I don’t much care about the era or the setting or the characters so long as all three are tied to a great story. Stories are what draw people. Not nostalgia, cameos, lightsabers or explosions.
Yaaay! More peg warmers to look at on the shelves at Target. The Rose Tico and Rey figures were lonely sitting by themselves for years. How do you have access to probably the greatest IP from the 20th century and F it up? Disney: hold be felt ear hat.
@@MeanMrMustard1 False. Fans were begging for more after the first movie, the second movie. Fans were begging for more after the first season of Mando. Many fans are begging for more Andor.
@@bsmithhammer False. Disney clearly had plans to continue Mando past the first season. It wasn't because fans demanded it. Same goes for Andor. It was designed to be 2 seasons from the beginning.
Why in the heck did Disney not use Lucas' storyline for the sequels? His story was faithful to the story overall and was a natural sequel to 1-6. The movies filmed, though, are not faithful to the overall Skywalker Saga (how could they forget Anakin is the core character???)
The Rey movie will work if Jon and especially Dave are very involved in the story creation. My problem was never with Daisy but with the bad writing and directing. I'll give it a chance should it come to fruition. My biggest complaint is the fact that episode I was supposed to be end of the Skywalker saga, yet Rey took that name and now there will be more films. So apparently it was clearly not the end. So despite there now being multiple galaxies in Star Wars canon, they still can't come up with original movies. Go use Legends storylines that the fandom already likes, if you are desperate. All I know is Dave should be the one picking the stories and directors, rather than KK.
my hope is Dave Filoni can rein in all these rogue story writers and turn the ship around. Acolyte has proved rogue, F you in the face fans, shows need to come to an end. On the flip Side Andor is fantastic. Doesn't try to re-invent lore, just gives us what the fans want, compelling script writing, stories that really attract the fans ( and gain new ones). Andor is a perfect example of how to dive into new areas of Star Wars, remain cannon, and excite the fandom.
They cant really scrap Rey. They invested in this character. They fucked up the story and lore and how they wrote Luke Skywalker but they cant abandon this lore now otherwise everything they invested will be for naught. Hopefully, they dont write a BS script and the story is actually worth watching.
I’m so glad SWM is here to tell me what I do and don’t want to hear and what I do or do not want from future Star Wars movies. With such wisdom it really saves me having to think for myself. Can you tell me what I’m having for tea tomorrow?
If Ben Solo is alive, then maybe I will be interested, but they killed him (the last true skywalker). I hate that Rey (a palpatine) now bears the name skywalker.
It seems to me that this Shabeen-Obaid-Shinoy mayby is not the right choice for the Rey movie cause whe need someone that understands the starwars universe and thats not her.Whe might get a Acolyte disaster.Better choice would be Bryce Dallas Howard mayby she did a good job in the mandalorian.She also did her thing in the skeleton crew it seems so thats something to looking out for.Her and Jon Favreau together and it might be a hit .
The big screen is dying, I don't know that they'll get very many people to come see it and even if it's something a lot of fans are looking forward to, we just want to stream it at home.
I think that, for many people at Disney, making the Sequel trilogy work is a matter of professional survival. They'll insist on it until they make it work or get kicked out. They don't want their legacy to be to have destroyed one of the biggest cash cows (never mind the art or the fans) in the show business.
Looking forward to Andor season 2, I hope we get to see K2SO. Also (forgive me I don't know his name) the wounded Rebel Andor kills early on in Rouge One. Give them some history, it adds more weight to Andor's actions.
Star Wars Meg, I hope that Rey Skywalkers movie does come out and becomes worthwhile knowing everything and probably some other legend stuff becomes cannon very soon.
I think Daisy is great and very likable and I have enjoyed her other movies. I believe she would have been bankable in 10, 11 & 12 if 7, 8 & 9 were any good. Disney & Lucasfilm are in dire need of real leadership that makes a product that the customers really want. They should put quality first. I really want so much to love Star Wars again.
Sounds like they are adding all the same ingredients that left me with a horrible taste in my mouth previously.. I understand Disney making some mistakes but at this point, there has been a lot of discussion about where fans feel the franchise has let them down. Most of it is unhelpful hate, but plenty of well-thought-out criticism. There seems little excuse to continue to throw in the same deaf-eared people at the project.. and F*&K JJ Abrams, he's only good at making pretty explosions.
I'm interested to see it. I'll give it a chance, it's what has to happen in canon anyway. Idk if it's going to be a hit bc idk what it's going to be about. I hope people give it a chance but, knowing how ppl are, it'll never get a chance. I think they should make this thing no matter what and put everything into it, all the bells and whistles. She shouldn't worry about people trashing her. That's what she's talking about. Do you really think it matters what movie they do first? I don't have that kind of confidence. Rationally, I'm ready for 10, 11 and 12 and want to give it a chance. I want to see John Boyega and Daisy Ridley again. Let's do it.
Truth be told I thought the Force Awakens was great, then things started going downhill with TLJ, and even worse with adding of TROS. If you only watch the movies they are horrifying but reading the books gives more clarity as well as watching Bad Batch and Mando. They need balance in listening to fandom but also taking into account what is wrong with recent Star Wars because not everything is terrible. Listen too much to fandom and the fandom hates it. Listen not enough and they hate it. Look at the Acolyte with how many people wrote it off because they weren’t listening to fandom at all.
She's supposed to get us excited about coming to watch the movie in the theaters. But doesn't care to hear from the Fans. I am a bit confused. When she says FANS who is she referring to? Anyone that is coming to a Stat Wars movie because it is a Star Wars movie is a Fan. Right? Or does she have different opinions on which types of Fans? My opinion has no valid points? I mean I only watched the original trilogy first week.(before the lines) Then a couple more times when they were lines. Took my kids to watch a Marathon of the first three (4,5,&6)before the second Trilogy. (1,2,&3). Never read any books about any back stories. (I know I'm a philistine) I do however have the 1st 6 dark horse comic books. Still in the bags. We do stream Disney+. Loved Mandalorian, Andor and Bad Batch. Watched all the others too. Looking forward to Shsoka and second season of Andor. I watched the moat recent Trilogy (7,8,&9)also. So I and many others who have been consistent viewers like me are to be excited about this new movie in Theaters! Pay around $15.00 per ticket for something that she has no interest in what I think. Nice! Well we will see what happens with this type of talk. It did so much good for the Acolytes. Not wanting to seem mean Maybe they should put a gag order on the directors. As much as the stars. 🤔 Thanks Meg 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺 (Sorry to be so wordy)🤦🏼♀️
I could care less about a new ray movie, but I'm onboard for a birth of the Jedi flick. Day one has been an interest of mine since '77. I don't know why I just started world building way back in the day and would love to see the big guys bring their vision to the big screen.
Was it really necessary for the Acolyte??? Learning from mistakes is better when learning from what has FAILED with the FANS. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, SHE has her work ahead, but she is getting the th direction of Ms Lucas. I believe she has to LISTEN to the fans. After the DISASTER that WAS this Acolyte major mis-step. To even create a DECENT MOVIE, WELL i KNOW EVERYONE HAS TO LIKE IT HA HA HA The Force is neither good or bad. The blance is as we've seen Ray struggling. It's probably not an excellent movie idea, but it will show the STAR WARS we believe in. Well, like you, I am a fan. I'm not up on the lore, but I did see this Acolyte for what it is NOT, it's a mess. The Ray movie has got to be more than anything the Acolyte was pretending to be.
All I want is for them to get the time lines right. I think that the Ray movie cool there is a time line in there somewhere with all of the stories in books and comics that they could piece together a story for Ray. Like I said I am a Nubie so.May the Force be with you.
There's about 3 films, 2 shows, and 1 video game that are canon to the story of Star Wars that I criticized about, but I make lemonade out them. 'Attack of the Clones' fits more better as an opening for the Star Wars 'The Clone Wars' animated show. 'The Book of Boba Fett' would be better watched during the 'The Mandalorian', cause 'TBOBF' takes place whenever the events in flashback sequences take place while during 'The Mandalorian' story. Starting with watching 'Andor' season one first brings a serious tone before getting into an almost light-hearted tone you watch later in Star Wars 'Rebels' and then watching 'Andor' season two will bring you to one of my favorite Star Wars films 'Rogue One' which then leads into Original Trilogy and so on so forth.😄✨️💕
I think we can all agree that we want to see Adam Driver back as Kylo/Ben. And of course, she should not listen to the "fans" because most of them are toxic these days. And I think, Meg, you're forgetting how many sequel fans there are now these days.
It really seems as though they can't complete a thought when drumming up a new movie. It's alarming were this far in with not even a script, I don't think Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is the right person for this.
02:00 the current writer for Acolyte knew nothing about Star Wars at all, so documentary smentary... go ahead and make a movie. Signed Kathleen Kennedy. 03:00 poor meg... you used the word Logical when speaking to Kathleen and her crew... As Family guy's Mort said when told to have a sale. "What language are you speaking? I don't understand. Sounds like a faa lump a lump or something." 🤣🤣🤣
There's no script for the "Rey movie"? In that case it's 3 years off, even if LFL find some money to produce it. LFL hasn't been revenue positive since TFA. (See Caroline Reid's coverage in Forbes) They have no money. They cannot cross-subsidize from Marvel or Pixar. It's bewildering how they pretend it's biz as usual.
Dear meg what they need to do is get an older mark Hamill back along with Daisy .And do a proper master luke and rey movie. They could retcon all of their mistakes in one movie.And give rey a proper set up as a follower of luke. Unfortunately the leadership there is too much of a coward to think outside of the box. Remember GL was going to give us his final explanation of the force.
Lucasfilm should make MY Star Wars trilogy, where Luke Skywalker, in the Universe’s oldest galaxy builds the first Time Machine and a back travelling create-the-universe-machine, the Corellians snatch all the galaxy’s stars into a huge sphere called Systemcity and brat Sith kills 99% of Systemcity sentience to bring anarchy to sentience! The Strange Birth of Michael Star-Warrior, Challenge of the Wrestlers and Invasion of the Multiverse are the best!
I feel like Disney, is moving ahead for what George Lucas image, which is why they're getting the hate they're getting, As a star wars fan, i don't want to be a hater. It does feel like they're turning Stars wars to something it's not
So Ms. Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy should be listening to the Star Wars "Fans" on how to direct a Star Wars movie? Which fans? The ones who made death threats at Kelly Tran and at the editors of Wookiepedia because they dared to update their Ki-Adi-Mundi entry to reflect the events of episode 4 of the Acolyte?
Nothing against Daisy Ridley, and any of the other actors from the sequel trilogy. But I don't want to see any sort of continuation of those movies. What are they going to say now, "they can swim now!" Or, "somehow Yoda retururned".
They still don't get it. Star Wars was made as a rebellion against studio control and studio interference. Kathleen Kennedy, JJ Abrams, Leslye Headland, and the rest are the anthesis of what George was trying to do. What they need is to strip it down and bring Star Wars full circle. No studio input. Let the storytellers tell their story without corporate interference. Get back to the themes, influences, and concepts that made OT Star Wars work.
Homelander: “Go ahead release it… Let’s light this candle! First I’ll make Rey the heart of Star Wars. Next… I’ll make her bisexual and have a girlfriend.” “Thennnn… I’ll make another season of Acolyte… for fun.”
God I hope to all that's holy this movie never sees the light of day. Ya see what's going on with the acolyte? Expect much of the same. I have a feeling SW fans arent done having their paddy.
Frankly, the decisions of the powers-that-be leave me lackluster in feeling for any movies regarding Rey. The sequels were abysmal, and I've little interest in seeing anything along those lines. Nothing said by the powers leaves me optimistic. I am awaiting Andor with excitement, but even for that show, I'm rather concerned. I hope they don't muck it up, too. Andor was the last season of any show I truly loved in the SW universe.
She isn't suited for the job at all. So the perfect person as far as Disney are concerned. Fans are getting slated for not liking the newer stuff but it's show runners that draw out the battle lines before a single shot has been taken.
Hot take: artists own and decide what they want to make. If you like it, great; if you don’t, great. What I do hope changes from all this is that these artists no longer have to suffer the immaturity and venom of the group of incels who believe it’s _their_ right to try and ruin people’s lives or drive them out an industry they love because “wah, they didn’t make the movie for _me_ !” If this doesn’t describe you, then I’m not talking to you. But before you ignore this message, be _sure_ this doesn’t describe you…
Personally, after force awakens, there was possibility of such a bigger universe and taking star wars in a new direction, but last jedi destroyed it all, good film, but had nothing to do with star wars and where force awakens left off
