My issue with Botw and Totk if you made a few very slight changes (particularly thenames of characters/items associated with Zelda), you wouldn't associate the games with the Zelda universe at all. They are good games sure, but if they were a new franchise instead of Zelda they'd have actually been better

As Snoke talks in that scene it became increasingly obvious he was going to die. "True Target" was a dead giveaway. The only thing surprising or a twist from TLJ for me was how much potential it wasted (especially Snoke and Phasma). A much cooler twist would have been if Snoke wasn't force sensitive at all. Disney Star wars movies are a fun watch, but ultimately they all seem to lack actual substance.

Successfully 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for the laugh.

For real though, it the words of the great and wise Yoda, "Do or do not, there is no try."

(Other than "That's a story for another time", I can't think of a single quotable line from Maz Kanata... Or the entire sequel trilogy honestly)

Maybe just maybe instead of trying to "replace" these great established characters, maybe make the new characters their own thing... Then again that would require Hollywood to have original ideas...

As a once avid Star Wars fan it saddens me that I'm more scared than excited for this movie. While the SW franchise has had some interesting ideas under Disney's reign, their movie record is atrocious. The movies are mediocre at best, I know a lot of people like Rogue one, but even it just DOES NOT work if you take the ENTIRE franchise as a whole. I it even if they do not really fit in with the established SW Universe they are a fun watch if you don't think about it.

Except for Rise of Skywalker - you have to think for that one to appreciate the efforts to make a cohesive storyline after Last Jedi ran off like a toddler not wanting to share the ball.

What a let down... To think "how did they find this planet" is considered a big mystery is laughable. There's plenty of explorers and scouts in the SW universe that the "How" really doesn't matter and needed NO explanation... Unless you're one of THOSE people that have difficulty forming coherent thoughts... Too many pointless things are trying to be explained under Disney's reign and it's creating terrible stories that just DO NOT fit in with the OT/PT when taken as a whole.

Continuity is important, and that's the problem with Disney. The Sequel Trilogy, Rogue One, these movies just don't work well with the original movies. There's plenty of issues, such as less than 30 years under the reign of the New Republic makes 0 sense for the force to have been "forgotten" to the degree it was. Under the Empire makes more sense due to them being hunted and suppression of information that an empire typically invokes. Rogue One just doesn't work either. If the empire can shield an entire planet with a small access window, why wouldn't they use the same technology on the Death Star (hell, Episode 6 even had a planetary generator - why not a shield generating ring like Scarif?). Still even if Disney movies don't fit the established Canon of the pre-disney movies they are a fun watch, so I view their canonicity like that of "Legends" - more as stories with (many) incorrect details, than true Canon.
