Can't wait for A New Hope reboot with Shia Lebouf as Luke and Kristen Stewart as Leia. Ice Cube will be playing Obi Wan Kenobi and Vader will be voiced by Michele Rodriguez.

Earlier in the thread when the name was released, and particularly the foreign translations, I tossed out how it would not be inconceivable for a resurrection of sorts for Luke based on the material from the other media sources.

Was reading a "easter egg" breakdown for the lasr trsiler that went heavy into one of those sources concerning the force "angels"(?), and I have to admit that would be a pretty brazen route for the live film series even though it's been contained in multiple animated episodes/series at this point.

Got Dec 19th tickets at 6pm on the UltraScreen (first showing).
Also, as is tradition, family reserved a theater for Dec. 29th for everyone to see.

I'm not a fan of TLJ (it has a few good moments and ideas, but overall it was horrible). TFA was fine. Rogue One was fantastic - top 3 in the franchise. Solo was a pleasant surprise. It was entertaining, but not a movie I needed or wanted. Solo's backstory should have remained a mystery. Madelorian looks GREAT.

The real question is, when will they go the route of bypassing all of the shit? That's the next evolution. Like they did with Halloween. I think there's been one or two others (I think I read that the new Terminator is basically doing that, bypassing everything post T2) that went that route as well and they were lauded for it.

Which, I'm surprised Disney isn't sectioning off their streaming service into tiers. So Star Wars would have its own, Marvel, Pixar, etc. That will probably happen at some point.

Or actually, the realest question is, when does Disney just claim that its a religion to get tax exempt status. Its too late for the Star Wars fanboys since Disney now owns (which that could be interesting, it'll be like a Star Wars movie with diehard fanboys trying to fight the evil empire aka Disney. I mean, Epcot kinda is a Death Star.

I think the upcoming projects are going to do just that, bypass everything else. Not in the way though that it retcons half the existing movies, but rather, start their own overarching story. These 9 episodes have all been about the Skywalkers.
There's a lot that's kind of forced to fit into that overall story. I actually think Disney has quite the opportunity (and I hope they don't blow it) to really reimagine what Star Wars can become as an entirely fresh new story told in a trilogy format.

As for Disney+ getting sectioned off, I'm presuming you mean as if to have different subscription packages? So if you want all Disney stuff you'd end up paying two or three times as much? Honestly, I don't see Disney doing that. I've heard it said that they might only put some new content on Hulu, perhaps anything not so family friendly? So in a way they could kind of do that, double-dip the Disney streamers. But Disney is in a huge position to affordably price their "all Disney" streaming service, and I think that will work more in their favor. And because they are already such a multi-industry behemoth they won't need to increase subscription rates to fuel their investment in future content.

Then its not at all what I was talking about. I've already said my piece on this stuff so I'm not going to keep at it. I'm not saying its impossible for them to make good new ones, hell I'm not even saying the stuff they've made is entirely terrible (there's actually a few aspects that I like or at least weren't problematic about the newer stuff; but then again, I don't even hate the prequels although they are incredibly terrible movies). But I think overall they've messed up from the start and have made progressively worse decisions, and so I have no clue where the optimism that people have for Star Wars is coming from, let alone why they keep supporting it endlessly.

Yes that's what I mean. I absolutely do, because they're actually already doing it, like you point out with the situation with Disney+ and Hulu. And that's going to get worse. You do understand how much content Disney actually controls now, right? They won't do it right away (after all they still have to try to make Disney+ a success), but it'll happen. They'll probably start by just raising prices on a unified subscription bit by bit until people start to really bitch, or more importantly, them to start cancelling service. So it'll take some time, all the while Disney will get more and more control and consumers will have less ability to speak with their wallets because Disney will control so much of the content. Plus, Disney will make it easy. By that I mean, it'll all be a single login/service, so a big part of what people complain about now (having different logins for everything), which will make it more palatable for people to accept. It'll be just like how people sign up for like $25 digital cable promo period and then 3 years later are wondering why they're paying $125 a month (+ extra from on demand rentals, PPVs, etc) and they watch like 3 channels. Plus they could nickel and dime people by offering single "rentals". And then we'll have people going "wow, I spent $1200 on Disney, I could've just subscribed and paid $600 for the year instead" (kinda like how some people don't realize they've been spending $5 a day at Starbucks and wow, that means they spent $1500 for the year on Starbucks).

Which obviously for some fans they'll do well as they'd likely be willing to pay even higher amounts for a Disney streaming service. I've seen an alarming number of people that have like multi-thousand dollar yearly passes to Disney parks (and they live in Phoenix or like Chicago and places that are nowhere near a Disney park), because they go like 2-3 times a year. And they go see every Marvel, Star Wars, and Disney movie that gets made.

Wonder how long before Disney buys Stranger Things and tries to connect it to either Marvel or Star Wars (or both!).

Because they're drug addicts hoping the next hit will be as good as the first one.

New story out there from Carrie's brother that as s payoff to the name of VIII, Leia was to be heavily featured in IX as The Last Jedi.

Would have been an interested debate, whose blade does she wield, daddy's or brother's?

I would have loved IX being all about dead Leia.
use a body double and put Leia's face on her.

and bring back Admiral Akbar!

'Star Wars 9' theory: Forgotten Yoda quote reveals his plan to beat Palps

Long time in motion, this plan has been.
www.inverse.com www.inverse.com

My mention that it would not be inconceivable that Skywalker physically returns given all source material seems to be getting even deeper theorycrafting by others. This one takes it at a twist and has it as Anakin given his status of the chosen one.

but it says so right there its only possible for jedi, and anakin wasnt a jedi, or at least, was not a jedi at a time when he should have learned the technique. of course that doesnt mean that it cant happen anyway because nobody really cares.
