Re: Star Wars
In reply to phoenix9lives (msg # 8):
Pretty sure you're right. There's a corner of the Star Wars fandom that's going to hate it, no matter what they do, because it isn't what 'they' (the fans in question) wanted to see. The fans that actually did like the sequel trilogy (and, believe it or not, there are actually quite a few) will be disappointed because they liked what was already there and it was taken away. On top of that, Disney hasn't 'erased' ANY Star Wars, they've just relabeled it as legend instead of canon.
I also find it somewhat amusing that people keep going on about how the sequel trilogy 'killed' Star Wars when Clone Wars is possibly bigger than it's ever been and the Mandalorian became a cultural icon in a matter of DAYS. Star Wars is doing just fine, and with the Skywalker Saga concluded, they're now free to go off in a thousand different directions, if they want to...it would be counterproductive to turn around and go back and rewrite a different ending. As a viewer, it would totally reduce the impact to me, because that would mean that nothing that happens in the movie has any impact...if they decide enough people don't like it, they'll turn around and write another one...and another, and another.
And then Star Wars truly will be dead.
