Don’t forget the feature-length film of Luke’s time with his aunt and uncle...

Yep. Killed off by the passage of time and lack of any more story line.

They should put the whole franchise on hold. If I want to watch the View, I’ll watch the View.

I was kinda looking forward to the Kenobi one because it was going to have Ewan McGregor in it. But knowing Disney they would have had him hiding out on Tatooine after getting a sex change, reversing it partially only when Luke was grown up enough to no longer need a governess.

Make a film about that cantina band in the first film. Did they get into any epic rap battles with Jabba the Hut’s house band?

Put them on hold. They’re sure to be filled with anti-male, anti-white, anti-straight, anti-Christian propaganda for kids anyway.

I'm sorry, but George Lucas is an idiot for selling the franchise to Disney.

Star Wars could have been its own studio. He could have sold Netflix on a mini-series, for example. Could have created multiple spin-offs under its own studio name.

Remember when Facebook turned down a $1 billion dollar offer from Yahoo and we laughed at them? Well who's laughing now. When you have a product and an eager market for it, you have to hold onto to it.

ENOUGH! Sick and tired of it. Obi Wan kenobi? Seriously. I dont care which high school he went to and which chick he dated. Rian Johnson was the leftist clown who had a major hand in why Last jedi sucked to kingdom come and they want him back?

Who didn’t think Disney was going to run this franchise into the ground?

“In 2012, Disney bought Lucasfilm for $4.06 billion and took full control of the “Star Wars” empire.

Five years later, the studio has made that amount back from just the ticket sales from the new “Star Wars” films.

With the saga’s lastest movie, “The Last Jedi,” passing $900 million worldwide at the box office on Thursday, the Disney-owned releases of “Star Wars” (”The Force Awakens,” “Rouge One,” “The Last Jedi”) have combined to surpass the $4.06 billion pricetag Disney spent on San Francisco-based company, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Though this doesn’t count the millions spent to make and market the movies, this figure also doesn’t count the money Disney has already made from “Star Wars” merchandising and attractions at its theme parks (both of which are more lucrative than what the studio gets from ticket sales).”

Congratulations to Kathleen Kennedy for killing the Star Wars goose that laid golden eggs.

Just the opinion of an old guy:

The original Star Wars was magical. A couple of the sequels were ok and interesting, and helped further advance film technology.

Later entries, lacking direct linkage to the original captivating cast of characters, left me with little desire to watch. Can’t really say how many of them I saw or didn’t see. Or remembered/forgot.

Saw the last two, first the one with Hammel and Carrie Fisher. Made me mist up a bit at their appearance, but otherwise had little reaction.

Went to see Solo a couple of weeks ago. It bored the snot out of me. I just don’t care anymore...

J.J. Abrams could make Episode IX passable, but Rian Johnson destroyed the mythology, and should never be allowed near any Star Wars movie again.

I propose that Rey turns on the rebels, embraces the dark side of The Force, and becomes Empress of a reborn Empire after annihilating Kylo.

That would be entertaining.

It’s the sequel trilogy that did this to the franchise and those still go on.
