This is her teasing it

I'm ready. Call me a Star Wars poser but, I'm going to see this, and odds are I'm going to love it. And Disney will take my money and probably make more Star Wars films that diehards don't appreciate. I can't say that I'm sorry about that. However, I am a little sorry that I am not sorry.
Next up, the Star Wars film about the brilliant Imperial industrial designer who makes all of that sick gear.
And yeah, daughter of fighter pilot (who died in service of...) makes sci-fi / Fantasy film about a squadron of fighter pilots. Internet, please start your complaint engines... now.

And I know you dont like the streaming part of it but as a fan of the property and what they are doing is this something you want? Or would you rather see different things?

The new wave of Star Wars movies just aren’t for me. I’m glad for everyone that can enjoy them. I understand the excitement. But I’ve lost interest in all of it personally. Maybe I’m a hard headed OT purist, but I’ve learned to accept that.

Ok thats fair. Look I have my issues with everything Star Wars has done since Empire. Yes, Return of the Jedi isnt one of my favorites. However its all on a level that I can enjoy a lot. Especially The Mandalorian. I have high hopes for the Ashoka show and The Rangers of the New Republic show. They are set in the same time line as The Mandalorian. And you know what that means? Cross overs. And everybody loves cross overs.

And my definition is admittedly very rigid. I personally find something vital missing from the series since the OT.

I personally find something vital missing from the series since the OT. What is that something if I may ask? It’s difficult to define, but I suppose it comes down to a few things. The Lucas/Spielberg approach was to take the action serials they loved as kids and make movies in the same exact spirit and style, but with big budgets and the highest standards for quality. This resulted in something special: Star Wars and Indiana Jones. I think that once the original creators left Star Wars lost those influences. And the passage of time, the changing of cinema and other factors made it impossible to capture the lightning again. It’s like trying to be The Beatles in 2020. It can’t work. I know that all sounds super specific, if not pretentious, but that’s kind of my view on it now.

There’s also a soul-less sort of pandering and exploitation that goes with these new projects. What is there to care about in Rogue Squadron other than “Yay! X Wings!”? I don’t mean that as a swipe at anyone that’s excited for it. Again, that’s totally cool that people are into it. I just find the whole idea of it rather cynical in its calculated approach to pleasing fans on a superficial level only.

I see what you are saying and I kinda have to agree (see my earlier comment on that everything after Empire has issues). I just look at stuff differently. My entertainment should just be that. Entertaining. I will not set a bar for new content. That doesnt mean I like everything but if you keep this kind of golden standard, and you are well in your right to do so, you will always end up being disappointed when there is no need for that of you go in without expectations. George Lucas messed up Star Wars himself with the prequels. That was all him. One could argue that Dave Filoni and John Favreau are reviving it. I think Season Two of The Mandalorian is on par qualitywise with the OT. Thats high praise but it deserves it. But hey, you are more than welcome to not like what they are doing.

To be honoust and dont see this as a personal attack in any way, Star Wars is superficial. It looks cool but there is no real message. Besides the obvious struggle between good and bad and trying to strike that balance that is happening in each person. But as far as depth goes this the like dipping your toe into the sea shore and think you know all about the ocean. Its done in so many media. Its nothing special. Whats special about Star Wars is its universe and its look. And that is exactly what they are exploring now on multiple shows and set in different times.

Oh I definately realise that I'm setting an impossibly high bar. And I do admit that the new movies had almost zero chance of pleasing me. But sometimes I think an intellectual property just needs to end with its creator, even if it's creator screwed it up.

Its not so much that Star Wars was ever deep or wholly original in its storytelling. It's more about the tone and style and spirit, and maybe even the era, that those movies embodied. I don't know.

Young Star Wars fans... in love.
People seem to be excited. But don't read the comments.

One more thing I must add: Meeting these standards isn't entirely impossible as Blade Runner 2049 proved. As a huge fan of the original I had the same outlook on the sequel as I do the recent Star Wars movies and was set to hate it. But damn if I didn't fall in love with it. I might like it more than the original!

I loved the video game when I was a lad. Skipped many a school days to play it! I enjoyed playing that^ game too. I was especially happy when I was able to use the 'cheats' to unlock the Tie Fighter and Millennium Falcon as ships to use in the game.

I'm a fan of Clone Wars, and I hope they bring more of that side of the universe into live-action. The "squash buckling" and new-age force bits are hit or miss for me (although I love Donnie Yen's take on that stuff in R1). It can be a bit too overly orchestrated - dance wise for me - so you need incredible pairings for that to feel right. The chemistry has to be there... I stan for rad villainous industrial design and Cobra ("...a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world) and the Empire gets high marks. And respectfully, I would say it's more than just a "nice touch" that Jenkin's comes from a lineage of service. I found out about her father right after CM came out and wanted to go kick Kevin Feige in the head for not offering her all the moneeyyzz...

I'm all for it!
I had no idea that Jenkins had served in the Air Force. I'm surprised that Marvel didn't get her for Captain Marvel.

So...does the reception to Wonder Woman 1984 affect this at all? Perhaps they just won't let her write the script.

Chris Pine apparently knows the plot. My next question, is he gonna be cast in it?
