>As far as the primary story goes, once we Episode IX arrives, that will be it for a while.

>Disney and LucasFilm are looking to have a similar hiatus that we got between the three trilogies so far (1977-1983, 1999-2005, 2015-2019), to ensure that fans aren't flooded and eventually bored by a constant stream of Star Wars movies.

Enjoy these next 2 episodes lads, because we won't get another for 15-20 years.

All franchises should do this.
Everybody is getting sick of endless reboot after reboot. There's been fucking 3 spider man origin stories in the past 10 years.

The rule should be that there is a limit. You can reboot a series ONE time every 20 years, to retell the story to a new generation.

This is very good news.
But don't kid yourselves into thinking this goes for the side movies like Rogue One and Han Solo's. Even if the main saga enters a hiatus and is thus safe from turbo jewry, Star Wars movies will still keep coming out nonstop until they stop being profitable.

I can't wait for the Dexter Jettster movie.

It's abundantly clear that The Last Jedi is in SERIOUS trouble production-wise and they think it will have a high likelihood of tanking.

I'll bet that VIII will be STID-bad and damn-near kill the franchise, and that they'll shit out a phoned-in IX a-la Beyond just to save face, before walking away and never coming back until they find someone up to filling George's gigantic shoes.

The Anthology films should be alright, though.

Good. If we got a steady supply of Star Wars movies every year for 15 years people would get tired of them. Waiting also makes the experience more special. When TPM came out it was a huge event because there hadn't been a movie for 16 years. When TFA came out, same deal because 10 years.

There's all this talk of Force Trees and casino planets with vampire alien secret societies of doom serving the same old shitty villain from TFA that nobody cared about. It's Guardians Of The Galaxy-tier tripe wearing a cheap Star Wars skin. On top of that, now Han is dead and so is Leia so all we have to go on is fat Luke and the rest of TFA's shitty cast.

The fact that we're barely 8 months from its release and we've yet to see even a teaser, after Disney leaked all those set photos that were received with laughing derision, just SCREAMS that VIII is a turkey mired in desperate reshoots.

"tanking" for a SW movie means that it'll probably pull BvS numbers with a huge opening weekend and an utterly precipitous drop-off once word of mouth spreads.
>>81238641
Absolutely, it will. But Disney will shoot for Avatar numbers with VIII and get Suicide Squad grosses in return.

Screencap this: it will be a disappointment at the box office.
>>
>>81242729
Marketing. Pretending to retire the series will make them more cash in December. It's the principle of 'limited availability' which influences the title 'The Last Jedi' as well...there's no narrative reason why the Jedi should be extinct again after 'Return Of The Jedi'.

We know pretty much nothing about this movie. You're pulling all of this out of your ass because you hated the TFA characters. You disliking something doesn't mean it's going to financially fail.

We know that the set and new character designs look like hot ass, that's for sure.

It sounds like someone can't stand the idea that his beloved MCU-wars could collapse under the weight of audience apathy once the "fans" all start to realize just how shitty and uninspired the Disney episodic SW films are and will be.

What, seriously, did TFA offer other than
>quips
>non-existent character arcs
>uninspired production design
>Dr. Who-tier creature designs
>forced quips
>toothless villains who don't do anything even remotely frightening
>a predictable, derivative story
>even more dumb, forced quips
>the OT actors phoning it in in full-on "well, it's a paycheck" mode
>that fucking tentacle monster sequence
>an incoherent post-ROTJ universe that's such a convoluted mess that it makes AOTC look as straightforward as ANH
>orange Yoda

It was an utter, unredeemable trainwreck, and the only reason why people are afraid of saying that the emperor is truly wearing no clothes, is unlike in 1999 for TPM, we're inundated with the opinions of idiots (reddit) and the never ending torrents of shill reviews on RT and the nerd blogs, all desperate for those sweet disney bux.

At least in TPM we knew that boy band-looking Ewan MacGregor was going to turn into Alec Guinness, that the sweet old man senator was going to turn into wrinkly space Hitler, and that the annoying little shit was going to get turned into a char-broiled amputee in the end.

With TFA, at the minimum, we're stuck with Rey, Poe, Finn, and Kylo, characters so boring and one-dimensional that you'd swear they were from some autistic high schooler's fanfic collection, thrust into a universe that wouldn't make any sense even if anyone could actually muster the effort to care about it.

On yeah, anon, that totally sounds consistent with a major blockbuster that's on a good track, production-wise, and not the sign of a movie that had its central plot macguffin squarely panned when they leaked it to test fan reaction and has spent the past 6 months in crash reshoots as the studio struggles to rewrite and entire plot into something that won't be Star Trek Into Darkness-bad.

They're totally just saving the teaser trailer that should have accompanied every single release in January for some stupid Star Wars celebration that nobody who isn't autistic cares about. It totally has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that they're rushing around the clock to avoid a repeat of Rogue One in which the trailer footage is nothing but completed shots from the older, completely different film.

But the Matrix is from 1999 so it still counts as "old"

Hollywood will never reboot a post-2000 movie, because 2000 is used as the benchmark between "old" and "new" for most people.

It makes sense to put the saga on hiatus, but you're foolish if you think there won't be a Star Wars universe movie every two years minimum. They will use the trilogies to introduce new settings for which their spinoffs will take place, sort of like how the clone wars brought forth a totally new setting.

TFA was also the first star wars movie to have come out in quite some time and nobody had any clue what the new trilogy was like, there was every reason for people to watch it. Now that the novelty of new star wars movies has worn off and people are well aware of what Abrams Wars is like the reception of this movie won't necessarily be the same.

Every franchise drops the number after a certain point because it scares the new people away. Except for FF I guess

So how are they going to handle anthology films? Just whenever a director approaches them with an idea for a Star Wars story?

I don't know how it's a surprise to anyone that this didn't work. The films have clearly performed under Disney's expectations even if they're remaining tight-lipped about it. TFA was clearly marketed so aggressively in an attempt to depose Avatar from the top spot and become the first ever $3 billion film, and it couldn't even beat Titanic. Rogue One didn't even make as much as Civil War.

If Disney want to save this sinking ship, they need to fire Kennedy immediately and put someone sensible in charge. Also maybe get Gary Kurtz on board if he's willing. And most importantly of all, start hiring quality filmmakers and writers instead of obedient young puppets and that hack Lawrence Kasdan.

Because absolutely nothing has significantly changed in the 30 years after return of the jedi besides the two sides of the galactic civil war changing their names and very slightly changing some of their designs.

As tryhard as TFA was, it's still more coherent than pic related. TFA might be less interesting, and less funny, it may even have less dramatic tension and believable characters, but it's more coherent.

Lucas is fucking senile. He's been senile for decades. It's his own damn fault for not raising up an apprentice.

No. They won't. They'll do 3 main series then a billion smaller movies involving other characters and what they did inbetween movies that will do Rogue One levels of money.

Then they'll realise that their fanbase will felch the dollars right out of their own ass to watch a mediocre series of movies that don't require much advertisement and just make all dem shrekels.

Finally, someone who gets it.

Tfa was a major disappointment at the box office because it was a bland and merely "OK" movie in the vain of the MCU movies, and even the most die-hard disneyaboos still thought that it had major flaws.

I walked out wishing that I had at least seen the disjointed weirdness of a Lucas movie. Episode I had it's flaws, but it was still clearly a Star Wars movie, Jake, jar jar, and all.

Rogue One should have scared the shit out of Disney. The last hour or so was legitimately the best battle sequence in a Star Wars movie since ROTJ, and Lucas damn near said it himself. Disney's meddling and Kennedy's pathological desire to shoehorn in as many feminist storylines as she could completely killed the first two acts, and RO was an incoherent mess as a result, even if that mess ended with the best stretch of Star Wars this side of the OT.

Still, there'sno reason whatsoever why it shouldn't have out-grossed Suicide Squad and Civil War.

Hopefully, heads are going to roll once VIII inevitably underperforms hard enough that even the Disney spin team can't keep people from talking about the failure.

Why does everyone hate episode VII and the prequels? I love them. I think Episode III is the second best mainline Star Wars film after Episode V. Much better than poor quality films like episode VI.

I'm not sure they do, it's just the general insecurity of /tv/ types sets ém screeching to the effect that if they personally dislike something "everyone"does.

The prequels and Rogue One are all inconsistent, but really fucking good in a bunch of places.

VII otoh was just garbage throughout.
>>
>>81258776
I haven't cared so much during a space battle on screen since the Exodus Episodes of nuBSG.

Rogue One might have even topped that.

It almost makes up for the "forced diversity rebel alliance filled with brown people vs the all-white empire" angle. Then again, I have a feeling that Gareth Edwards was probably forced to do that by (((them))), and it's pretty clear elsewhere the kind of film that he actually wanted to make (Star Wars getting the Galactica reboot treatment)

Gen X ruined Star Wars.

Da prequels suck! It'z not real Star Wars!

I need muh TIE Fighters, X-Wings, and Han Solo!

TFA is one of the best Star Wars now! I brought muh kidz to see it and I almost cried reliving muh childhood!

We definitely need a Han Solo and Boba Fettz movie!

>>81262267
The prequels were horrendous but the new movies with their blatant copypasta and pandering are not any better. The jews running the SW IP in both instances missed the mark.
