Was being funny. My comedy license was revoked.
End it.
Let it die.
take it away from Disney
This is the only and best answer.
- stop creating characters solely for merchandising, i am looking at you porgs…
- actually come up with an overarching storyline. John Favreau stated some time ago, that other than the MCU Disney currently has no goal to work towards and is basically just freestyling
- give characters weight and meaning, instead of developing them and write them out of the plot, as soon as they are getting interesting. This is one of my main gripes with Obi-Wan
One, Chewbaca needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever Chewie’s not on screen, all the other characters should be asking “Where’s Chewie”?
right now its pushing ou garbage as much as the mcu, need to slow down and work on writing and plots. the streaming service isnt doing it any favors.
Just stop? Some things don’t need to be a “brand”. There fine as one shots.
If you wanted a one shot you should’ve posted this in 1977 😀
Basically make young James Bond in space, but he’s an imperial spy. Every season or movie could be a new story.
Upscale and release the Christmas special.
Does it need to be improved from a money standpoint? It seems to continue to be a money printer and my coworkers who like this kind of shit keep watching every new Star Wars thing and enjoying it even more than the original movies so from that standpoint I think it’s doing just fine. There is no issue with the “brand” from Disney’s point of view. As long as the general public continue to consume whatever slop they slap the star wars name on and love it, why would Disney ever do anything different?
I’m not sure how recoverable it is at this point, but if you want Star Wars to act as a forever-story, don’t treat it as one single story. Its okay if plot doesn’t directly build with each release. Its okay if it doesn’t connect to other parts of the cannon. Its okay if you have no shared characters. Hell, its even okay (if not ideal) if some media contradicts each other. The important part is making good stories, and if a new peice of media wouldn’t work when attached to a larger plot, don’t attach it to the larger plot. Simple as.
Look at something like 40K, for example. While yes, there is a “main” plot, its only a small part. Honestly, fans often outright ignore the “main plot” Horus Hersey books, in favour of the more fun and compartmentalized books like the Eisenhorn Trilogy or the ork books because those are the books that most revel in the setting and themes of 40K and aren’t burdened by dozens of other books that they have to tie in to.
they should have episodic plots, much like with old trek.the current formulation, is build up to a very low effor galaxy threat.
The problem isn’t the length, its the fact that stories are warped or straight-up built around every single (often not even) loose thread from the original trilogy and to a lesser extent, the prequels. For example, the Madalorian was great for the first season, where yes, it was episodic, but it did still have an overarching plot that built up to a climatic final battle. Where it started to run into problems was when it had to tie back into the original plot. Mandalorians lost all mystique, pacing was hampered by exposition, and the focus was draw away from the main characters and the plot in service of tie-ins to Ashoka and the main franchises.
Ultimately, it should be about telling the best stories. Sometimes, that might be episodic as worked well for Mandalorian, sometimes a continuous plot like Andor, and sometimes it is a full movie that does fit alongside the original cannon like Rogue One.
Explore stories with lower stakes that focus on different aspects of Star Wars. Not everything needs to be an epic galaxy-wide conflict that somehow includes ten OT characters as fanservice.
There are millions of planets, trillions of sentient beings, all with their own motivations and philosophies.
As controversial as Acolyte was, I really liked that it showed us force users that were neither Jedi nor Sith and how incapable the Jedi were of accepting that.
Hire Kai Patterson who did an amazing job fan-editing some of the shows into movies. He is of course still limited by the source material but especially his version of Ahsoka was a lot more enjoyable than the show.
Same with Doctor Who… it’s not a franchise FOR kids, it’s a scifi/fantasy franchise that kids CAN enjoy.
its for british audience, they butchered the current series.
honestly, it’s been going downhill since it first released. The first 4 doctors of new who were great, but the last few have been shit. mega shit, even.
jodie whittaker, the one before ncuti, and the “rebranded tennant” said she dint like the direction dr who was going, her dr had so much potential but the showrunners trashed it.
Change the name to Star Trek and get a crew together composed of beings from around the universe and a black lady. To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, yadda yadda yadda…
Don’t you mean, “(Baby) Yoda Yoda Yoda…” 😋
