      Can’t use material you don’t own, if your primary interest is money.

        No books or comics*

      So on one hand, that reads to me like she meant “we are not pulling from the existing comics or books”, as opposed to “we are unaware of them”.

      On the other hand, the Darth Caedus (aka Jacen Solo) might have something to say about Kylo Ren being an “original concept” that “was not pulled from the books or comics”.

    Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow was slated to write and direct Episode IX before you brought J.J. Abrams back in. Is this final entry in the trilogy a particularly hard nut to crack?
    Every one of these movies is a particularly hard nut to crack. There’s no source material. We don’t have comic books. We don’t have 800-page novels. We don’t have anything other than passionate storytellers who get together and talk about what the next iteration might be.

      As bad as that last movie was, I’m still glad Colin Trevorrow want allowed anywhere near it. There are few directors who are that out of their depth when given a big budget…

      What the Michael A. Stackpole is she on about?

  Lol what? That’s like saying drawing is hard if there’s no connect the dots

  source

  • static09@piefed.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I have a biased take here, but:

    It’s so much worse than that. It’s like saying “We can’t trace any completed connect the dots drawings” when there were 200 already completed connect the dots drawings specifically based on Star Wars.

    I would kill to have a Darth Bane movie trilogy or two movies based on Revan. There’s even a Star Wars zombie book they could have turned into a movie at the height of the zombie media craze for crying out loud.

    Horribly, horribly mismanaged.

      Two zombie books, one set during the Old Republic and then another set during the Imperial era. Both are pretty solid, though I’d give the crown to death troopers since I get some real Dead Space vibes from it.

    It is like she is saying filming Lord of the Rings was hard because there were no books to start from.

  There are Star Wars books and comics??
