Should the sequels have followed the groundwork that this trilogy laid?

Do these have Luuke?

Is that the one where Luke is teaching students and one of them secretly builds a lightsaber with multiple magic crystals, creating a gay pride flag lightsaber

The idea of light sabers is laughable anyway.

They should've copied Foundation and Dune and taken place several hundred years after the OT so as to give the cast a new galaxy to play around in.

>>24634048
but that would require originality

>>24633554 (OP)
Should've gone the Gundam route and made the new trilogy an AU not connected to previous films outside of themes and concepts.

>>24634048
They should have copied Dune and made Jabba the god emperor

>“Is that Luke drinking hot chocolate?”
>”Is that Luke’s clone with a SECOND U in his name? A second fucking U?! I’m going insane!”

People have been seething about that second U and Luke sipping hot chocolate longer than I’ve been alive. Kek

They took this from you. Sith Lords hating hot chocolate is no longer canon because of Disney.

>get your Thrawn trilogy on film
>it's Filoni Thrawn

>>24634261
Yeah. When they brought back Luke, Leia, and Han and made them the most important characters in the new trilogy I knew it was going to be bad. As if the entire universe is centered around these three people.

>>24636191
They didn't even get all three of them in one scene together.

>C'Baoth having Dagobah Luke Doppelganger identity and memory crises was everything nuWars failed to capitalize on with Finn: clones aren't supposed to be force sensitive, ever. It's a mystery Vader and Sidious' own clone projects failed to deliver on for essence transfer: this is the mystery and the intrigue that fascinates Luke enough to perhaps tempt him.

>3rd Trilogy: Admiral Daala (Tarkin's mistress) and her Red Wedding-ing the Imperial Warlords, detente with the New Republic-- Vong.exe from there

The Thrawn Trilogy is fairly plot anemic and broad strokes; it required fleshing out arch-Boomer Bob Iger in acquisitions mode was in no mood to not churn out something within less than 5 years to get a return on the 4 billion outlay-- catastrophic given the Prequels' box office and merch revenue was built on a decade of multimedia (Shadows of the Empire). At this point they ought to just farm out the EU to some Jap company to make animes out of the entire thing for the next twenty years like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9GRYa_3gno

>>24636010
Luuke is such a bad name for a character it almost wraps back around to become good

>Hey… hey is that?…. No it couldn’t be… IT IS!!! It’s heckin Ahsoka tano!!!! Oh fuck yes! And boba fett? Annnnnd luke?! This is Star Wars infinity war!

Watching filoni shit is like watching a kid bash his favorite action figures together. It gets old after five minutes.

>>24633554 (OP)
Oui.

Should have done a trilogy where the Yuuzhan Vong invade and the force doesn't work on them.
Second movie in the trilogy ends with a hologram recording of Palpatine explaining he knew this was coming, and overthrew the useless jedi, the slow democratic system, and built a weapon that could stop them, so the New Republic realise they've killed themselves, because they need a death star.
But third movie gets every single species, faction, vehicle, droid, everything that's ever been in Star Wars, on screen for a big showdown, which can be seen as Star Wars vs not Star Wars.
