George Lucas, by selling it to Disney, whose only mission is to milk every penny out of their properties.
share"whose only mission is to milk every penny out of their properties"
Lucasfilm didn't sell games, books, comics, and toys until Disney bought them?
Yes, but they didn't suck monkey balls like most of Disney's shite.
shareNot only do they suck, that trilogy is rated lower than the sequels:
The Phantom Menace 52% & 59% at RT and 6.5 at IMDB.
Attack of the Clones 65% & 56% and RT 6.5 at IMDB.
Revenge of the Sith 80% & 66% and RT 7.5 at IMDB.
Avg. 65%, % 60%, and 6.8.
The Force Awakens 93% & 85% at RT and 7.8 at IMDB.
The Last Jedi 91% % 42% at RT and 6.9 at IMDB.
The Rise of Skywalker 52% & 86% at RT and 6.5 at IMDB.
Avg. 79%, 71%, and 7.
Or are we talking about the old books? Where Luke became moody and brooding in Dark Empire? And Palpatine came back like 3 times? Or the Zhaan trilogy, which I generally like, that had an evil Luke named Luuke? LOL!
Yawn. Go back to playing with yourself. That's as productive as what you just wrote.
shareStar Wars is not ruined, but if you're referring to a drop in quality, the first example of that was none other than Lucas himself. The "Special" Editions and prequels blow.
shareMaybe older fans like me who saw the original in theaters. It was a big deal back then when I was 11. I was still relatively young when the prequels came out and I liked them.
As far as the sequels, they just didn't do anything for me. Not saying they aren't well made. Just not interested.
Regardless of "wokeness" or casting or story, I'm just not interested in these types of movies anymore. Same with superhero movies.
They're well made when it comes to production value, but they aren't well made when it comes to storytelling.
shareLucas, but way back when he first claimed he had a plan to make three trilogies and decided to become a toy salesman.
shareI don't play with toys but my college professor has a couple of small children who do play still with toys. He told me that the company Kenner made the Star Wars toys, and not Lucas
shareKenner makes the toys. Lucas made two hour long commercials for the toys which he got people to pay to watch. Brilliant in it's own way.
shareGeorge killed it, and now Disney is pissing on its grave.
shareLucas didn't do identity politics.
shareCapitalism.
