Does anyone else feel the new Star Wars film would be better

But we had Rogue One.

>I feel like the story and cast of the original were done with and there wasn't much reason to revisit them

There is an excellent reason to revisit them: Easy money.

>LOLOL 12 PARSECS
>"I'll talk my way out of it!?" CLASSIC Han Solo
>"When has that ever helped? And DON'T say the Death Star!" LOLOL I'm so glad I get to see Han and Leia washed up. They referenced the Death Star! I know what that is!
>Did u see what Mark Hamil posted on Twitter? He's such a darling! I love Luke. Hope he's in the next 90 movies!

These new Star Wars movies are for the Loot Crate crowd. They'll buy any piece of shit sight unseen as long as it has the promise of being related to something they like.

Rogue One was an embarrassing 2 hours of fan service.

>I feel like they really missed an opportunity with the new films in trying to bring back nostalgia instead of heading in a new direction

You seem to be laboring under the impression that Disney gives even a single fuck about the Star Wars universe or story.

These. Disney didn't buy Star Wars out of love for the franchise and a desire to tell interesting stories in the universe. Disney bought it to make money and filling the screen with references is what the fanboys want.

Disney has no incentive to change their formula as long as it keeps making money.

Explain.

You do know that putting in tie-fighters, light-sabers, etc, the things that are associated with Star Wars, makes it fan service? Could you imagine if they made a Bond movie without Q or the gadgets, or without fucking Bond? What the fuck are you smoking.

I don't mind reference dropping but for Dog's sake, tell a story. By telling a story, I don't mean re-telling A New Hope with Luke taken out and a bunch of whos thrown in and a whinier Darth Vader.

The two Disney produced Star Wars films were good. They are better than the shitshow that was the prequels, and much better than a lot of the scifi garbage that studios have been making recently. Fact.

You just can't win with you faggots, you'll always find something to bitch about, and in this case it has nothing to do with the movies themselves but the fandom that surrounds it.

hopefully they take that direction after episode 9. have it take place 100 years after. don't even care if it's another """""""""""""""strong""""""""""""""" female """""""""""""""""""character""""""""""""""""""""" led movie as long as it has nothing to do with the previous era.

Darth Vader had no reason to be in the movie.

CGI Tarkin was ghoulish and awful.

The "you'll be dead" guy.

R2 and 3PO for literally no fucking reason.

Actually using footage and audio from ANH for the X Wing pilots.

Hideous CGI Leia and ending the movie on her smiling and saying "Hope" while her ship is under attack and Vader hacked through like 30 soldiers.

The whole movie is winking at the audiene and saying "DID YOU GET IT!?"

I don't understand why so many people on here have such a problem with revisiting old characters or things from the Star Wars universe. If you're not a fan of these characters, why get so upset about it? Besides, the new trilogy isn't even about Leia or Luke. Han, Leia and Luke probably have a collective screen-time of 10 minutes in The Force Awakens. Rogue One wasn't about the old characters either. They are adding new things to the universe, they are going in new direction, but at the end of the day it is still Star Wars.

I like the prequels. I understand why a lot of people don't though. They're falwed in a lot of ways. Cheesy dialogue and wooden performances. Over reliance on CGI, etc.

They were interesting though. They treaded new ground.

The Disney movies are comparatively better acted I guess. That's all I can really say though. The Force Awakens at least. Daisy Ridley and John Boyega are good and JJ Abrams got good performances out of them.

The movies were dull and uninspired though. TFA traded heavily on nostalgia and Rogue One was nothing but nostalgia.

And now we're getting a Star Wars movie one a year. They're disposable products, and it shows.

Just like the Marvel movies, it they're more like broadcast television than films. i.e. Most of the episodes are cheap filler that doesn't matter.

Money obviously.

Why would Disney want to change the brand when it's exactly that brand (and the characters ect that come with it) that sells.
