George Lucas, by selling it to Disney, whose only mission is to milk every penny out of their properties.

"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?

reply

Yes, but they didn't suck monkey balls like most of Disney's shite.

Not 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.

"DiSnEy!"

*shakes fist*

Yawn. "Star Wars" is now just fan fiction. And today, acolytes like you just parrot whatever Disney tells you to say. Keep being a tool. That's all your life is ever going to be.

reply

Star 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.

reply

Maybe 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.

reply

They're well made when it comes to production value, but they aren't well made when it comes to storytelling.

reply

Lucas, but way back when he first claimed he had a plan to make three trilogies and decided to become a toy salesman.

reply

I 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

reply

Kenner 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.

reply

George killed it, and now Disney is pissing on its grave.

reply

Lucas didn't do identity politics.

reply

Capitalism.
