A New Star Wars Trilogy Announced

[Jamesfett]

I for one am very excited, and I cannot wait to see what Kathleen Kennedy does next with Star Wars. Her achievements have been so impressive and she has done such a great job with this franchise I cannot imagine why they would ever even think of letting her go. Her list of well received products since taking over Lucasfilm continues to amaze. With all the amazing success it's blue skies and sunshine ahead.

With the fan love for the sequel series, and all these fantastic TV series you just can't help but wonder what's the hold up. Why so long without new movies. More Rey movies. More awesome TV series. They have all been so well received no wonder this woman still has a job.

Let's not forget the greatest Indiana Jones film of all time. It's so great I can't even bring myself to watch it and I'm as big an Indiana Jones fan as there is. I just don't think I can take the greatness of Dial of Destiny. More than anything I wanted Indiana Jones to be old, miserable, split up from Marion, and bullied around by an obnoxious, snotty, smarmy, brat. And Kathleen delivered.

Long live Kathleen and all her accomplishments.

In my opinion...let me preface that...it's an opinion for all those that think i speak matter of factly too much...that the PT couldn't ever be good or exciting because the OT sealed the story and most had individual ideas in their heads about what led up to Luke in the original Star Wars.

I feel much of the poor execution of the PT is what is the issue. It lingered on the wrong things and cheapened the characters by failing to write them properly. The overall ideas and progression had promise and it could have been heartbreaking to see the good man Anakin fight and fail to stop Palpatine... but instead they showed him as this quitter, who didn't even fight when facing Palpatine. There was no sense of being up against an overpowering force, feeling Anakin's resolve being tested and bested and eventually broken. He just gave up. We should have seen his goodness. We should have seen the jealousy from the other Jedi. His constant struggles to keep going even when all semed to go against him. We didn't get anything other than the constant - look, this kid is Vader, see how Vader he is before he becomes Vader. That's not tragic, that's not sad. That's just plain dumb writing. It got boring pretty quickly. You never felt there was a fall, because he was already fallen.

It's the same when movies show evil character's backstories making them evil back then, even by how they look and speak and you look at all the characters around them and can only think that they are utterly blind and stupid to not notice. It's boring and lazy.

great points...agreed

It also cheapens Luke's confrontation. It would have been cool to see Anakin keep fighting and fail compared to Luke stopping to fight and win. Would have made that more impactful.

The best things in the PT are Obi-Wan and Palpatine.

Oh, god. Milking that money cow.......again. I can only guess what story they come up with this time. Let me take a shot at it............a lonely teen eat up with teen angst, with a father he never knew, that really was a "bad guy" that killed a lot of "good guys" because he violated the code of his "lodge" and fell in love with a politician, and married her in violation of his "lodge's" code of "honor", and she got preggers, and when she died in childbirth, "dad" got angry and went on a rager, attacking his best friend. The best friend then whooped his ass and cut off some body parts, which made "angry dad" have to wear life support equipment for the rest of his life, only to be "saved' when his long, lost son showed up to "redeem" him as he lay dying, while his unknown teen daughter's buddies blew up his really cool planet-killing superfort. AND THEN Disney wants you to buy their merch advertising that! Did I get it right?
