It's explained in the awful Aftermath book. It's a fucking shame that creativity has been snuffed out by nostalgia and an unwillingness to take a risk. The 'Empire' will regain power, the Jedi will win it back. There's just going to be 'twists' to that story, but that's what is going to happen. They've set up a "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi". They didn't set up a Republican Star Wars universe. There were an infinite storylines they could have chosen for this movie, but they chose the most sedated version with meaningless destruction. He appeared so they could sell figurines.
But you know what was a cash grab? Luke Skywalker appearing in the TFA. It was lazy pandering to an audience.Īs for George Lucas cynical cash grab.sure.

I didn't even mind the acrobatic fights, they were era appropriate (matrix, for example) But then you had him plopped in with binks and. In good hands, a near silent antagonist can be bad ass to the point of going down in history (no country, for example). To give an idea, which people will know what I am talking about but I just want to be clear, episode one had one of the most beautiful villains I had seen up to that point. The poisoning of that is that so much of it was a cynical cash grab that was trying to sell as many toys to toddlers as possible and the backlash forced him to backpedal and he had to course correct creating tonal inconsistencies that were distracting. Please trust us" on the meta even above that, I really hope that this doesn't encourage Disney to do movie after movie of planetoid super weapon with huge design flaws exploited by plucky resistance fighters.Īlmost nothing worked about the prequels except one minor poisoned thing: George wanted to flesh out a galaxy. It was sort of fan service "see, everyone, we get it. As a movie that is part of a lineage of films, it bugs me how similar it is to anh. As a movie that stands alone, it was well done.
