Cancel this shit and release the original trilogy theatrical cut in 4k.

I rewatched Return of the Jedi when RLM put out a commentary track for it and I was not prepared for how much of a detriment all the changes were to that film. The ending has a fucking Jar Jar Binks cameo along with Hayden Christensen as well. It was bad.

JJ has his share of revered films, whether they're substantially good or not is subjective. He fits a certain style, and I straight loathe a lot of his work in television (I'm sure I'll get hate for this but Lost was fucking stupid). He doesn't fit Star Wars, as much as he didn't fit Star Trek. It was explained quite well in that those two films are the greatest fanboi fan films...but they're not very good movies, simply passable. Star Wars is such a fuckin simple premise and yet even it's original creator couldn't help but fuck it up with some convoluted story that doesn't make any goddamn sense. They've escalated where things didn't need to escalate; stupid, unnatural dialog. They push political agendas because it drives press. Fuckin WHY.

I'm in a shit mood. Also, fuck this movie it gave me cancer and I hope Rian Johnson gets hit by a bus at high speed and survives, so his barely functional corpse can sit in a hospital where a brilliant attending can put this movie on repeat until he voluntarily stops breathing from all the BAD.

A company spends $4 billion, to buy this franchise. And that's before any other funds get put into production. They are already $4 billion into the red. You want to have the right people running the show.

They've gotta see what's going on and ditch KK. Fuck they could put Abrams in charge, someone who knows how to make a solid film.
the rumor mill was that after Solo flopped, Iger held a big skype meeting with all the heads at Disney, Lasseter from Pixar. even JJ Abrams too. and Iger chewed Kennedy out for ruining the SW franchise and asked if anyone would take her place. they all supposedly noped out and thats why KK is still running the show. literally nobody wants to have anything to do with this IP anymore. they dont like the fans and they dont want to be the ones to fuck it up.

There is absolutely no way this is true.

Different sources and chinese telephone et al, but from what I got JJ wasn't on this particular conference call.

He was approached seperately along with the head of Marvel. JJ turned it down. Head of Marvel also said no but not as "FUCK NO" as JJ did. All sources have JJ as a very firm no.

So the door is still open for someone at Marvel to take KK's place.

if Disney didnt fuck him over with Antman i think Edgar Wright would fit in quite nicely , he is a great director, a HUGE Star Wars nerd and has a vision for the way things should be. never gonna happen though, they did him dirty.

If that shit with James Gunn hadn't come out, he was supposedly taking over Kevin Feige's job. Now why would Kevin Feige leave a cushy gig like he's got? maybe his boss wanted him to set a different ship back on course...

But now they can't even get him OR Gunn. Maybe the Russo Brothers? hell at this point I'd even give it to Jon Favreau

MARVEL/Disney Wars... Needs someone different. Would be interesting to see what someone like Shane Black would do with Star Wars, but honestly it needs someone without a huge fucking ego that tries to place their cumbucket style on the whole thing, and just sticks to the theme of Star Wars. Imagine that.

I think a lot of these guys think they are donald trump and can just say whatever they want and that there wont be any repercussions because "trump gets away with it". Johnson, Trump gets away with it because hea a multibillionaire and is his own boss, he has major fuck you money. he has top tier pussy and is the president of the world. he is also much smarter than you. you answer to kathleen kennedy who answers to Iger whom you are on shaky ground with. you shouldnt even be on twitter right now. if Iger sends word down that you are out, there aint shit anyone gonna do to help you.

Twitter baffles me. A major director attached to one of the greatest film franchises in history is out on twitter taking shots at the community. How is that even something you're paying attention to, how do you have time for any of this nonsense, and why are you continuing to inflame the fanbase?

Because they hate the old fans.

They want to make their own Star Wars with their own version of the characters and hate the old version and it’s fans.

At least, that is how it seems to me.

TLJ doesn’t seem like it was made by someone who loved Star Wars

Try this exercise: Name the planet Luke was on. What was green titty milk creature called? Or the native inhabitants (assuming you remembered there were any). How about just 1 of the 2 worlds with a resistance base. Casino planet? What were the animals that Rose wasted time saving? What was the designation for the busted old ships they used on the salt flats? First Order's flagship? Do you recall if Benecio Del Toro's character ever said his name? Rose's sister?

"They" did a terrific job with TLJ and managed not to create any new characters, ships, aliens, or planets the least bit memorable. At best toy buyers got a new plushie critter that will be forgotten and never mentioned again.

Casino planet is a bad example, I know that's Canto Bight (sp?) and I haven't even watched TLJ.
