James Mangold's Star Wars Movie Will Not Be 'Handcuffed By Lore'

  Rise of Skywalker was the last Star Wars property I’ll ever watch. I haven’t even watched the originals ever since then.

  Others are free to feel differently, but Disney killed Star Wars. I’m not even angry, I don’t feel anything about Star Wars anymore, aside from apathy.

    …i give the phantom menace a weekend-matinée pass for the creative sincerity behind it, then andor, rogue one, and the original trilogy: done…

    …all those are fine films comprising a sound canon; it’s easy-enough to ignore the rest…

    I got burned out on the volume of media they’re pushing out. It doesn’t help that a lot of it is crap

      The animated shows were all pretty decent, some really good, but there is a lot of content.

  The fact that they feel handcuffed at all is the issue I have with the entire Disney Star Wars run. If these were being made out of a sense of love and passion for the Star Wars universe, the lore would serve as a rich well of inspiration to draw from. It’s only a problem because these are all soulless cashgrabs designed to make money first and be Star Wars second.

    Disney purchased a brand name and that’s it. Star Wars is now whatever they want it to be, as depressing as it is. But let’s not pretend they ever intended to treat it with respect. No, they wanted to slap the Star Wars logo on some shitty merch and only make the films because they have to keep the brand name relevant.

  So it’s going to be about the Dai Bendu and the founding of the Jedi order on Ahch-To? Sith will be an actual species on the planet Korriban? We’ll see Prof Huyang’s early years and the discovery of Ilum, the use of proto-sabers. It will end with the founding of the first Galactic Republic.

  Apologies to Mr. Mangold, but if he thinks he can create a Star Wars product in a time without existing lore, he’s quite mistaken.

  Hopefully we finally get away from Tattoine

    They’ll use the totally-not-Tattooine-planet of Jakku.

    IMO just as likely that the lush jungle world of Tatooine will be the test site for the planet-killing superweapon du jour.

    25,000 years, they could make Tattoine a lush forest planet.

  I hope it’s handcuffed by quality at least

  If it’s not “hand cuffed by law” make war stars not starwars fuck off on ruining existing titles if you don’t want to play in that world

  Finally; now when a Jedee (the correct pronunciation really) is like “you can’t even imagine all this force power” the heroes can karate chop the force away cause frankly the existing lore is kinda weaksauce.
