You can't even really blame the 3rd movie for shitting the bed so much when you're dealing with a 3 movie series with different writers, zero pre-planning, and the writer of the 2nd movie specifically went out of his way to ruin and subvert as many plot hooks as possible from the first movie in some weird act of sabotage

They assumed that the braindead consoomer whore star wars fanbase would buy literally anything that had the Star Wars logo stamped on it regardless of quality, and they were completely right.

there are constant hints and mentions of the amnesia problem right from the very beginning of the game, though. It wasn't something random that came out of nowhere.

Sure there were hints of the amnesia plotline but when the story suddenly comes to a screeching halt for “anyone remember when we were kids and all of us lived in an orphanage? and uhh, the evil witch who is the principal’s wife is also our nanny?” It’s pretty bad pacing and the idea of all of them coincidentally being in an orphanage with Edea is extremely stupid

The heroes go to a desert planet looking for a "wayfinder", which is pretty much just a map they need.
When they get there, they just sort of wander around randomly for a while until Rey randomly falls into a hidden underground pit. There she finds a special weird dagger that doesn't have any explanation for why it's in that random cave on this random planet, and she decides it's important for no reason.
They translate the text on the dagger, which tells them to go to the location where the Death Star crashed (the dagger was made before the death star crashed, it just knows where it will have had crashed in the future somehow).
They arrive there, and then they wander around randomly for a while. It turns out that the place she randomly wandered to, if she looks at the wreckage, the shape of the outline of the dagger exactly matches the outline of the wrecked death star. She then pulls out the little side slide thing for no reason, and she decides for no reason that the little slide pull thing is pushing to the location of the wayfinder in the death star. She then goes to the massive death star and immediately finds the wayfinder in the massive city sized wreckage in the very first room she checks.

There were tons of rewrites throughout the movies like Obiwan claiming Luke's dad was killed by Vader, Vader being a completely different dark jedi, Luke and Leia being siblings, Luke's sister being "another" person from Leia, Ewoks originally did not exist and were supposed to be Wookies, etc. That's all from the top of my head.

But the difference is that it was still done by one person (Lucas) so he wasn't actively sabotaging himself between movies and the coincidences could explain away the rewrites. Rian Johnson famously undid pretty much every plot point that JJ Abrams setup to the point that a solid 1/3 of the Rise of Skywalker movie was spent retconning or handwaving them.

>>717942184 (OP)
That's a dagger. Lots of fantasy games have them.

>>717943290
Yeah, in Jedi Outcast, you fight cortosis-clad dark Jedi. The game made them seem a lot more threatning than they actualyl are.

>game with a retarded deux ex machina that conveniently happens right when the protagonist needs it
I don't play too many games, but i can think of 1 game that does this constantly: conker bad fur day.
the entire game is built upon random bullshit happening and somehow, for some reason, conker has the means to fight/fix the threat right there and then.
but conker is a parody game. they could get away with it because they were doing it on purpose and didn't demand you take it seriously at all.

>>717943757
>>717944124
it's much worse than the Goonies because in the Goonies at least you could reason that the person who made the mcguffin was just copying existing terrain. The magic dagger was made BEFORE the death star crashed, but it has the location of the crash inscribed on it and the blade is shaped like the exact shape of the crashed and crumbled death star.

Also, this is an aside, but it's kind of retarded that a shard that large was even left after it exploded that violently

>>717944337

Didn't they have some vague notion about looking for the remains of some Jedi hunter guy? It was supposed to be his dagger, right? Not that it justifies how shitty of a macguffin hunt it is.

>>717942584
The 2nd and 3rd movies both had chances to salvage existing plot hooks and they both threw them all away. JJ Abrams is terrible at finishing anything or developing existing plothooks, but they still should have just stuck with him or someone else for all three. Not having a story outline for a trilogy is the most hare-brained non-plan ever, and it effectively killed any future Star Wars had. Interest is going to wane until it fades out completely with millenials.

Honestly, I think Andor S2 is pretty bad aside from Syril's character arc, which is a bit funny since I hated him in S1. Aside from him, S2 is a poorly paced mess with a bunch of blunt, rushed character arcs chopped to bits by the timeskips. I know they planned for more seasons and they felt compelled to cram as much in as they could, but they should've just gone back to the fucking drawing board.

>>717944884
I think you can cheese them with quick style, force speed and by fighting very aggressively. They're left completely defenseless when they throw their lightsaber.

I liked the bit in the Disney comics where Vader goes to Exogol and finds the Death Star Destroyer fleet and nobody bothers to ask why they're still building Death Star 2 when there's a fleet of ships that are already its superior. Don't even make fun of it, just straight up ignore the question.

The real reason the Prequels are viewed fondly today is the vast amount of cross-media that resulted from the revival of the brand. 1998 - 2005 was the best time to be a Star Wars fan.

She isn't even the one responsible for the worst of the Disney Star Wars junk. The Disney board was directly responsible for deciding how the new movies would be a trilogy with no plot outline, refused to use any of Lucas's existing material or notes, and hamfisted a bunch of female/black protagonists into the movies while simultaneously trying to downplay that fact to woo the Chinese market. Kennedy has been in charge of some good shit and some bad, but ultimately she can't defy the Disney overlords. She's just done exactly what they told her to for the most part.

>>717943779
The majority of books that I've read were fine, but other than that, it's been rough. The movies were forgettable at best and the shows have been awful (haven't watched andor). Plus, the amount of games released have nosedived after EA got involved.

>>717944503
I just find it hard to believe since not even the kids are especially fond of the sequels. Who's going to grow up and feel nostalgic about this stuff like the kids who watched the prequels did?

>>717945179
The Kestis games are great. I consider them the spiritual successor to Kyle Katarn. Battlefront 2 was also great and well worth its money on sale. But you are correct that there simply has not been enough SW games due to the brand being mismanaged.

>>717945329

I really don't see a world where the vong would've translated to the big screen that well. If it was animated, I could see it working.

>>717944347
as mediocre as you may think Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor are, at least they have a fanbase and the people in charge of making these games know what to do.
none of the Disney slop shows feel like they were written by a human or by people who have a plan on how things should fare besides Andor and Mando S1, and the people who watched them threw the towel the moment things started looking like shit and they have no audience, no fans, no one who wants to watch this shit besides Youtube review channels to let everyone know how shit the dogshit they just ate is (wow!)
its not ineptitude, its planned, this was always going to be the outcome of Disney Star Wars, they executed their 2D animation studio behind a woodshed so they could push out their own 3D movies because they were tired of Pixar stealing the show from them, shat all over their staff, fired Laserter and sentenced them to make mediocre movies for the better part of a decade now.
Disney wants to be the only one sitting at the top of the mountain, they will keep buying studios and companies just to turn them to shit, just like EA does, just like Microsoft does, they are the multimedia version of this.

Even worse is that a lot of movie critics loved The Last Jedi the most specifically because it "subverted expectations". Which is another way of saying the director Rian Johnson didn't give any fucks about trying to make it a coherent trilogy so he YOLOed it then bailed leaving JJ Abrams trying to salvage the pieces for the next movie in that haphazard poorly planned shitshow of a trilogy.

>>717946267
It's gets worse if you read her novel. Easily the most wasted character in that entire trilogy.

I want to bash woke wars, but honestly I'm sick of evening making fun of this or woke trek. Let these franchises die while everyone plays roblox.

You only have the 4x jump to their 8x jump so getting there drains a lot of force while they might quickly chase and corner you from further away and you don't wanna be against the wall with just yellow style saber blocking against red.
>>717945115
I never tried because I thought it wouldn't do enough damage and because the manual recommends using medium style to fight multiple saber opponents but it probably would have been less risky.

At least the KOTOR remake isn't coming out. R-right?

>>717946329
I'm usually pretty good at sniffing out cliched backstabbers, but somehow I didn't expect him to betray us until he stayed behind and obviously stole Dagan's lightsaber after that boss fight. Fantastic writing. Better than anything from the ST honestly.

This was such a fucking waste of a character. They spend screentime building her up and then do nothing with it until she jobs. It's like she existed for the sole purpose of selling another model figure instead of any story-related purpose. Either give her a reason to exist in the plot or cut them, it's not fucking rocket science. I guess she's another victim of the incoherent trilogy writing because they didn't actually write or even outline the plot in advance like competent writers would.

A couple decent Vader/Anakin scenes doesn't make up for the rest of it being horrendously shit. Even fucking Ahsoka had a good Anakin scene. It's kinda fucked up that Hayden Christensen showing up is the high point of multiple shows.

>>717942732
>zero pre-planning
Feels like the closest thing they had to "plans" was to dramatically kill off a major character from the original trilogy in each film of the sequel trilogy. I'm just theorizing but
>Han Solo: dead in first film
>Luke Skywalker: dead in second film

I presume Leia was supposed to get a dramatic death in the third film but even that was a major fuck up since Princess Leia (oh I'm sorry GENERAL Leia) had to go and die in real life.

>>717946850
>It's kinda fucked up that Hayden Christensen showing up is the high point of multiple shows.
Why would it be, he's great and everyone loves the prequel trilogy. It's okay you don't need to pretend anymore. It's not new so new bad old good doesn't apply anymore

>>717946520
I don't remember how push/pull works in SP but in MP if you are moving at close range you always fall.
In your webm most of the hits landed on enemies are on grounded siths which are very easy to pull. Basically you just run around pull and left click.
I don't see what could be difficult in that fight.

Also I mentioned the platform because their AIs take time to follow you through the platform and you can always push one away to solo the other on them.

Rogue One is extremely mediocre aside from the Battle of Scarif, which is possibly the best battle sequence in all of Star Wars. Imagine if the rest of this dogshit Disney Wars at least had battles that good.

>>717945784
It doesnt help that they gave EA exclusivity rights to make SW videogames for a decade alongside closing down LucasArts studios, cutting all LucasArts funding for developers working on games based on their IPs and that they cancelled every videogame project after signing the exclusivity contract with EA.
EA made like 3 videogames under that period, and a half dozen of mobile garbage and the only game that still lives and gets updates from that era is one of those mobile games.
EA has made more Star Wars games AFTER the exclusivity deal expired, thats some dumb ass shit i could never understand.

The prequel defense force happened because the children who liked them wouldn’t be on the internet for close to a decade after they released. They weren’t reevaluated, it’s now-adults defending their childhood from perceived insults.

Children did not watch the sequels. Children primarily use social media. There was nothing insulating them from how most people viewed the movies.

>I don't remember how push/pull works in SP but in MP if you are moving at close range you always fall.
It seems to mostly land on jumping enemies and enemies not facing you and I think how well you could block it was affected by your own level in it vs the level of the one using it on you and even if it gets blocked it slows your movement for a moment and drains at least some of your force.
But never did I put it together that the range was the difference between making someone fall over or not when it lands, cool to know.
>In your webm most of the hits landed on enemies are on grounded siths which are very easy to pull.
It is, but the push is also expensive especially if it hits both of them and if you get gripped without force available to push it off it's trouble. I just end up spamming the push/pull too much because I played with them bound to Q and E for quick use.
>their AIs take time to follow you through
They might but jumping is like the only force power the AI is actually good at using and I think the AIs actually jump better than real players. I never had a player(s) surround me by jumping after me in MP but happened before with saber combatants in SP.

>>717944653

The only thing I like the sequels for is the fact that Palpatine fucking wins, every Skywalker and Solo is dead, leaving only a Palpatine at the end of it all.

It's got the trappings of something great. Good sets and effects, the actors are putting in effort, the scenes are individually well directed. But the big picture is just broken and you can feel it bleeding through often.

I kinda liked them but they're deeply flawed in many ways. Storytelling is super meh, they throw you a bone now and then with Darth Vader or Boba Fett but the core story is just awful. Tha main character has the worst punchable face imaginable and the whole cast is just mid-school tier. I think that level design is both smart and oversimplified, with plenty of neat ways to travel around but way too often limited to main way of going forawrd.
>Oh this wall doesn't have scratchmarks? You can't climb it, sorry!
>Oh, this piece of flat surface is sticking out? It's a deathtrap obviously!
Way too often your progression is all about jumping around weirdly placed walls, even though your enemies are living and working in these halls. There's no logical structure for most levels, just a lot of disjointed jump puzzles.
Now fighting is another pie of bullshit, because, again, I like how it adapts Dark Souls/Sekiro but then again your lightsaber is just a glowstick that can't do any proper damage.
And for Metroidvania parts, I enjoy finding secrets and finding collectibles, there were hidden paths and chambers full of good stuff, but then again most of your unlocks are worthless cosmetics and unlocking half of your abilities is just a matter of story excuse
>I can't climb, let's just look around this pile of garbage and volia! I have a grapling gun!
>Oh, those green fields you couldn't access for half the game? Here, this gimmick will let you pass through! Oh, you could use it sooner? Sorry I wasn't in the mood of giving it to you earlier!
Honsetly it's kind of baffling how many mistakes they've made in the progression system and story telling aspect of the game.

The Last Jedi wasn't even good on its own terms. The stupid battle on Salt Hoth undermines everything they'd been doing up to that point. If they'd ended the movie earlier, with Rey taking Kylo's hand and the First Order breaking off the pursuit, then MAYBE the movie would've been worth shit.

>Way too often your progression is all about jumping around weirdly placed walls, even though your enemies are living and working in these halls. There's no logical structure for most levels, just a lot of disjointed jump puzzles.
I mean that's what a Metroidvania is. The architecture of whatever place you're exploring never makes sense. You just have to accept that's part of the genre.

>but then again your lightsaber is just a glowstick that can't do any proper damage.
I do wish there was a mode like GoT where you are incredibly lethal, but so are your enemies. Sort of like how real Jedi are in that they can kick your ass with the force and slice you clean in half with the lightsaber, but land a good hit on them and they're also dead since they don't have any armor on.

Sequels for Disney films are almost always cash grabs. The MCU and Star Wars were the first time Disney ever gave a shit about creating multi film narratives, but at least with the former you can hire whoever you want to shit out a film about a hero no one cares about. Say what you will about the prequels, but they so greatly expanded the universe of Star Wars that without them the IP wouldn't be the massive media giant that is today. The setting invites people to want to explore the lore and the people who are in it. However, what Disney saw is a run of the mill sci-fi plot of a hero fighting against an evil emperor and she could only win by unlocking her "full potential". It's something an AI could generate in less than a minute. They made a Disney movie, not a Star Wars movie, and that was the problem. They planned it like they would for a film like Frozen or Big Hero 6. The execs only realized their fuck up after the sequels finished due how universally reviled the movies were by Star Wars fans, and decided to milk the nostalgia cow with series like Andor, Obi Won, and Mandolorian.

>>717948929
The light saber in this fight was not wielded by a jedi though.

Regular people in the Star Wars universe do not see the light saber as a great weapon. Han Solo in ANH said he prefers a good blaster on his hip than a saber. It's only when a jedi/sith force user has one that it becomes something to be feared.

>>717949248
I wouldn't even call it fun. There's too many parts that are just pointless slogs like the podracing segment and the anakin portion of the naboo battle. And I'm not even going for low hanging fruit like Jar Jar.

>>717943465
Watching TFA in theaters was really weird, I was really enjoying it a lot but something sucked the air right out of the film when the rolling monster thing showed up
And when Han started walking towards Kylo I knew instantly what was gonna happen and it also sucked
Rey just locking in and winning the fight against Kylo was also super hacky and again took me out of it
Idk how other feel about him but I wish Finn was the mc, he was 1000x better than Rey. I was thinking for a moment they were gonna have them both be Jedi and have to share the lightsaber for a bit until the next film or something, thinking about them taking the lightsaber from each other with the force and shit.
I just walked away from it very unaffected.
Wasn't until i rewatched the og and prequels and played some of the old games that I remembered I actually still liked star wars

>>717948114
No its not. ME3 is the most jarhead hoorah horseshit imaginable.

>>717949376
Like all the prequels you can at least find fun in the worlds and art design and new concepts they introduce, like pod racing, which is cool as fuck. The sequel's worlds and aliens are almost entirely forgettable or rehashes of the original trilogy. Naboo alone floors every single location in the sequels and it's not close.

The OT always had a plan, it's just that the plan changed over time. Very big difference. Early in the OT George planned that the first trilogy would end with Luke defeating Vader, and then Luke meeting his twin sister in the trilogy which would end with defeating the Emperor. Compare JJ who didn't ever think about how to wrap up any of the plot threads he created or how the trilogy would end.
The difference is that when George had to wrap things up with RotJ, he wasn't up shit creek without a paddle. All he had to do was say Leia was Luke's sister, kill off the Emperor along with Vader, and end the war.

>ewoks
They were going to be wookies but the crew found it easier to dress up dwarves and kids than find a bunch of super tall actors willing to get in dog suits.
But that's also like the least consequential decision here, RotJ could have been done without the Endor moon sequences entirely and it wouldn't have created any inconsistencies with the previous films like you're suggesting.

tl;dr To quote general MacArthur, "Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable".

Not in the short term actually. Years after purchasing LucasArts and they still didn't make up the money the paid for it. Granted merch isn't included here, and merchandise is always how Star Wars made its fortune, but sequel toys were infamous shelf warmers.

>>717949780
>Kotor 1 and 2 get a pass because the story of Kotor 2 is better written than even the OGs.
KOTOR2 isn't. Kreia's ideas at the end of the game are insane - she wants to destroy the Force because it has "some control" over her even though the first movie established it's symbiotic. The Jedi have to all act like Mace Windu (and there's only three of them in the entire universe) because Avellone can't have the player sympathizing with anything besides Kreia's perspective. No one remembers the other companions besides Kreia. Kreia's assumption that the Force causes conflict and creates Jedi and Sith in equal measure is retarded just from what Phantom Menace already established (Avellone didn't pay attention). She wants to destroy the Force not knowing how many people will die when she claims that the Force causes people to go into conflict. Next she'll want to get rid of gravity and entropy because they have "too much say". Not to mention, you can't confront on any of this, especially when she doesn't entertain the idea that if the Force controls people, how would she argue it's not controlling her actions?

It's ludicrous given the rules Avellone had to ignore for his Force Marxist to exist in the story.

>>717949714
Knives out is shit actually

I feel like Star Wars was fucked by Marvelisation. Disney desperately wanted to repeat the MCU's success. So much of the tone, the humour and decisions ooze this sensibility. They wanted alternating sequel movies and Star Wars story movies. When it failed (TLJ/Solo) Bob Iger blamed Star Wars fatigue. But the Disney+ era just gave them a new excuse and so much of it was repurposed from cancelled Star Wars story movies. Many studios tried to copy the MCU, many studios have forgotten the formulas for success and many studios have failed at making their own universes. The Mandalorian was literally directed by Jon Favreau (who did Iron Man) and made as a vehicle for spin offs/cameos (Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, the cancelled Rangers of the New Republic) and is now spearheading their attempt to recontextualise the sequels with a big Avengers style team up on the horizon (Ahsoka, Mandalorian, etc all teaming up to stop Thrawn).

>>717949387
Did they say that in the movie? He did not look like Palpatine at all and they clearly weren't going for that.

>>717943226

Fuck, we even could have avoided the stupid breaking ground scene too, but chances are that specific scene is the whole reason the planet looks the way it does

JJ abrams MO is to set stuff up any stuff up make vague references to things and have something shocking to keep people talking about it and then let other people work it out.

I read this last year and, while cool as a book series, I don't think it'd work as movies that well.
J'baoth just slinging rocks at Luke is not a good ending fight, and Luuke is pretty hacky, also the clone force disruptiong thingy isn't great.
Also Thrawn deducing that the emperor was coordinating the empire via his force powers and needing a jedi for that was a bad idea
>>717944189
>>717946316
Also a minor thing that annoyed me as that we didn't get a moment of Thrawn showing understanding to his underlings until the third book while it would've made more sense to establish that side of his character in the first.
IIRC the part where Luke pulls that sick trick with his x wing inside the other ship in book 3, an imperial gets scared he's gonna get offed by Thrawn by fucking up but Thrawn comments that it was something hardly anyone could expect so it was fine to fail
It contrats with Luke escaping a tractor beam with a tricky maneuver in book 1 but Thrawn kills the dude their for saying it was a mistake.
IDK feels out of order to me; or at least both should've happened in the first book.

you are making argument against yourself
lots of re-writing indicates not lack of planning but exess of it. as in lucas had plan but as he started writing he figured things can be made better and wrote it better. theres not a single good piece of great media which doesnt go through this, noone is so great he can write something incredible from the get go without "upgrading" his work in a process.

>>717942184 (OP)
Bioshock infinite

Rather than write a sequel, they decided to reset things back to underdog goodies vs powerful baddies, aka rebels (resistance) vs empire (first order). Many video game sequels have this issue where you need to start the next nerfed and lose all your powers at the start due to contrived plot reasons. The dagger shit is just the equivalent of how so many quests in games have no flow aside from go to place with x and do y.

And, in all honesty, even as someone that prefers the og trilogy, the clones are just cooler than the stormtroopers and work even better as kid magnets. The colors, the variety. They have that same "your dudes" appeal of space marine chapters. Made the prequels fucking perfect for video games.

KOTOR 2 is literally just Babby's First Book of Philosophical Debate.
>DUH WHAT IF BEING GOOD ALSO HAD CONSEQUENCES??? 11/10 BEST WRITING EVER
You can't live your life by succumbing to the logic of a decrepit granny. Not every action has a consequence, that's just ridiculous, especially considering that being good and doing good things is far, far more difficult than being an uncaring asshole IRL. Now, there does come a time where too much help can be a bad thing, like a parent that coddles their child too much so that they end up ill-prepared for the real world, but if the question of "If I help this person, will they become weaker for it as a result?" prevents you from helping people in need (from holding a door open, to assisting someone who's fallen and broken their leg), then you're just allowing some old, cynical crone to think for you. It's honestly such a obnoxious debate that the fact people are still arguing about it just tells me that people just want to justify their negative behaviors without having to think too much about it.

>>717949167
No. Kids loved the prequels. Teens and adults gave tpm a soft pass contingent on the quality of the next movie. The sequel was attack of the clones. even worse despite its attempts to fix some of the flaws of tpm, as it was written by someone who was only vaguely aware of how people talk.

The plan was to maintain the fan interest and find new fans along the way so that multiple projects can be coming out for a lot of money all around.

Personally I think the bad guys should have been small in number but completely fanatical, the kind of guys who would kamikaze themselves. Pure unhinged loyalists.

>hey we need prison labor to assemble this extremely easy to assemble pieces which we cannot make machines to assemble despite having machines to deliver that shit to prison. its just so fucking overcomplicated. just make them mine some plot minerals for those things or something.

>she wants to destroy the Force because it has "some control" over her even though the first movie established it's symbiotic
The movies reference destiny and the will of the Force and letting the Force guide you pretty frequently. It's a two way street, you wield the Force as much as the Force guides you. That's the symbiosis. Kreia is mostly just skeptical about how benevolent this guiding force actually is.
>The Jedi have to all act like Mace Windu (and there's only three of them in the entire universe) because Avellone can't have the player sympathizing with anything besides Kreia's perspective.
Zez Kai Ell and Kavar are both sympathetic when they meet you. It's only once they get back together with Vrook that they start getting sanctimonious again. Vrook is pretty much the embodiment of the judgy Jedi Council behavior that Lucas harps on in the prequels.
>Kreia's assumption that the Force causes conflict and creates Jedi and Sith in equal measure is retarded just from what Phantom Menace already established (Avellone didn't pay attention)
Well going by Phantom Menace, Anakin was immaculately conceived in order to bring balance to the Force. In other words, the Force literally created a person to act on its need for balance. But even Force Jesus got seduced by the Dark Side and ended up destroying the Jedi. That raises a lot of questions about the nature of the Force and its apparent will.
>how would she argue it's not controlling her actions?
She can't and that's what makes her so mad. Kreia is a hypocrite and she basically cops to it if you point it out to her.
In the end, Kreia's true goal was always (you). She manipulated you into destroying the Sith and Jedi (or gathering the Jedi so she could destroy them) so that the slate was cleaned and it was just you. That included killing her too. She believed that you, who was able to truly abandon the Force, were the only person worthy to decide the fate of the Force.

>inject leftist identity politics in a series initially devoid of it
You got it backwards. Star Wars has always been a very politically charged series. The sequels had no politics whatsoever. They were rehashes of the originals without any understanding of their nuance. People get this mixed up because they think Disney's social media posting
>The Rebellion says trans rights!
is the movies being political, when it's just a corporation virtue signaling (except in China and Saudi Arabia because they have no values besides money). Lucas meanwhile said the Emperor was Richard Nixon, made the ewoks the Viet Cong while the stormtroopers were Americans and had Palpatine's subversion of democracy in the prequels be a take on the Patriot Act.

This.
The fact that the sequel trilogy had basically no politics at all was one of its main issues.
We get no understanding of how the New Republic worked and why it failed.
If anything TFA went out of its way to avoid politics by blowing up all the Republic planets. They saw all the people who called the Senate scenes in the prequels "boring" and overcorrected by removing all the political intrigue.
Yes we get blatant "First Order = Nazis" symbolism but that's the lowest common denominator for writing villains and it doesn't actually reflect the First Order as a whole because it's still incredibly diverse. Meanwhile in the original trilogy the Rebels were diverse (in Empire and Return at least) and the Empire was consistently nothing but white guys.

>>717951901
Ticket sales going down for each convective movie in a trilogy is pretty normal. It happened with the OT and the PT with return and revenge doing worse than new hope and phantom respectively.

The main difference was online perception between movies. That's what really brought down ticket sales this time around.

>>717953345
In the prequels they're clones Obi Wan found so they use them to fight robots
Then it turns out that the Emperor hits a switch to turn them on the Jedi and then the empire uses them as troopers

no they are bad guys by the time 4 - 6 start and they are no longer using the clone template to make them.

In 1-2 and parts of 3 they are specifically all a clone of one guy whos known to be able to kill force users with guns ect. Basically the bad guy changes the politics and turns himself into emperor by creating an a fake threat in the galaxy through civil war and trade wars ect. Once that army was fully setup and accepted by the people, he frames the jedi into looking like they are trying to usurp his position. Jedi are marked for kill on site from there on.

>Why are stormtroopers both bad guys and good guys?
The clones from the prequels are not the same as the stormtroopers. The former were cloned from the best bounty hunter in the galaxy and were actually incredibly proficient. In spite of that, they were actually only a few degrees of seperation from droids and were equipped with chips that allowed anyone with clearance to switch their allegiance at will, which the Emperor did with Order 66.

>>717953639
and I can even give you example of this trope being used right
in dd2 champion old sergant guy is a general of the army which is wrecked by guilt over leading his men to the slaughter when he was yound and inexperiences and full of himself. its such a powerful and tragic backstory. and very realistic too.

>>717953838
>Why is there aim so bad then, couldn't they have cloned someone not shit?
on the deathstar its because they want them to escape, so they can track them, the rest is because the rebellion is sabotaging their gear. As for the clones they were expensive, and when you got a leader who doesn't really care about lives, you can just human wave tactic.
>And why do they use armor? It doesn't stop blasters or anything so they just instantly die, may as well wear nothing?

They do when they are order to turn on them. I guess them catching the Jedi by surprise and having numbers helped.
They supposedly wiped out most Jedis but then it turns out all kinds of Jedi survived

>>717954131
yes they killing hundreds in raid on the jedi temples. You can write off the bad aim in the later films as a lighter tone for a family movie. The prequals have a drastic change in tone and are little more serious. Main reason he added Jar Jar to the series was to lighten it up. They also have some gay lore reasoning being that troopers no longer come from the OP guys DNA and are just regular retards with guns

I'll admit when I was a kid it was the Genndy Clone Wars cartoon and Lego that I really loved. The movies were cool but it was more that I liked them because I liked the cartoon and stuff, not the other way around. Worth noting that this applied to the OT too. I warmed to the movies over time and eventually loved them as a whole, but the 2D Clone Wars is still the core of what I love about Star Wars.

>>717954286
The whole thing was the Emperor (back when he was just Chancellor) engineering a proxy galactic war in order to distract the Jedi while he accumulated political power. Once the Jedi had caught on to him right as the war was ending, he flipped the switch, eliminate the Jedi, and declared himself Emperor.
Bonus propaganda points, the Jedi had basically tried to assassinate him right beforehand, so he got to flaunt the scars to portray the Jedi as traitors and win public sympathy.

Disney was high on their MCU success at the time. Kathleen Kennedy complained that Star Wars was harder to develop than the MCU since there was no source material to pull stories from like the MCU had.

>>717942924
George had the general feeling of what he wanted to do. He had all these ideas bouncing around in his head and in various treatments and it was just matter of putting them together in a way that made sense in his head. Even when he had other people direct V and VI, he was still involved and he still got the final say. Pic related.

TR-8R could have been what they wanted Phasma to be. They wanted a cool Boba Fett character and tried to force Phasma to fill that roll, while never doing anything interesting with her. Then our boy comes out of nowhere, smacks the shit out of one of the MCs, and just dies. Fans decide who the next Boba Fett is and Disney refused to listen and cash in.
Imagine our boy being part of Finn's original training squad, rising through the ranks, and being the final obstacle that Finn needed to overcome to prove himself as a capable soldier in the end of the trilogy.

>>717953345
So, there's one set of stormtroopers called clonetroopers that are fighting for the good guys in the prequel trilogy. They are clones that are printed out for combat.
The main bad guy of the original trilogy took control of the good guys and turned them into the empire. The stormtroopers you see in the original trilogy are the successors to the clonetroopers. Instead of being clones, they are just regular people who sign up for military work.
When the empire fell, a smaller remnant of it later rose up to try and fill it's place. This group kidnapped children to train them up into a new set of stormtroopers.

>I still can't wrap my head around how they threw out the entire EU, employed like 10 Star Wars lore experts to keep the new canon consistent and that's the stories they came up with
To play devil's advocate I think it made sense. Star Wars has expanded media going all the way back to the beginning and fuck, even comics got messy when the OT sequels came along and changed things (like Vader being Luke's father). It is hard to keep it all straight. Rebooting the EU didn't erase those stories from existence. Just made it so that they wouldn't have to always pay lip service to various things and could have a fresh start. In theory this was a fine strategy if they had actually decided to play to the strengths of an EU reboot.

Now the issue is that the people they employed were politically active and decided to inject their politics into all these nu-canon projects (do we need an ABC squadron and non binary characters?), that and they couldn't even keep the nu-canon straight because they began contradicting themselves (Kanan comics were contradicted by his appearance in Bad Batch etc) and the nu-canon explanation of the Resistance was retarded (the New Republic demilitarised for reasons and Leia had to make the resistance?) The stories they wanted to tell with the new EU was just plain awful. And they stopped paying old EU writers for a while and that became a thing.

Basically the new season of Andor gave an origin story for his funny robot buddy from Rogue One, the director not caring that they had given the robot buddy a completely different origin story in a comic book like 7 years ago. The guy supposedly in charge of keeping Disney canon all in order, when asked by a fan about there now being two contradictory origin stories, in effect admitted that live action directors are allowed to ignore and contradict anything established in the comics or videogame stories or books whenever they damn please. Thus in effect saying none of the Nu "expanded universe" which Disney made such a big point of saying is all super-canon, is actually worthless and can be thrown out at any time on a whim if the writer of whatever new season of the Glup Shitto show on Disney+ feels like it.
