imagine the script a bluehair could write through. backstory that the empire's greed mined the plant's renewable resources that resulted in the planet barely being habitable, and the mission of the capt planet crew (my 1st thought at the biker gang) to 'save the planet'
I dunno, you have a lot more faith in disney writers than I do. About the only reason I can think that they'd do the ole magic terraforming of tatooine is because it'd piss lots of people off. If it's one think woke writers like doing its shitting on things.
probably, im just trying to figure out why they're harping on the water thing. they seem to intentionally be talking about how important water is on tattooine and how it was once a planet with water. the tuskans had to go into hiding when it disappeared and the water mongers are screwing the citizens over on water prices. if it turns out to be nothing then thats gonna be a real headscratcher. maybe thats the big reason why the Pykes want that sandy shitball so much, they intend on drilling for water or something like a big lake. i do expect some kind of payoff, at least locally.
I'm not saying they can't write their way around it. I'm saying I doubt they would try to handwave the last three SW movies with some macguffin from an animated series.
they may not need to write their way around it since the disney sequels take place 30+ years in the future. they can write whatever they like as long as its before that timeline. my theory is they will continue to do that and stall until Kathleen Kennedy is out of the picture. whenever the fuck that happens. this year, 3 years from now or whenever. i think they will take a serious look at what direction they wish to go. the disney sequels are not remembered fondly, by anyone. not even the SJWs, there would be very mild pushback if they choose to sort of forget about that whole thing. we want to remember Luke and and Han as heroes, not fuckholes. Chapek has stated recently that his new direction is audience based. or profit based. that means what sells is whats driving the current Disney model. if profits dictate Luke and Han get a reset, then they will be reset. at least thats the hope.
not now, no. maybe later when the atmosphere changes. they wont even need to go 30+ years in the future. with de-aging software, they can make a whole series of films set just 5-10 years in the future from ROTJ. I'm telling you, they have a lot of leeway even if Hamill or Ford drops dead. their likenesses have already been sold. they can make them do whatever they want. the tech is only going to keep getting better.
