Empire was the peak of Wars.
Progressive downhill let down since.

Looking forward to checking out Snyder's non-sanctioned Wars (Rebel Moon).

Waititi seems like one of those directors who needs someone to tell him no.

The only thing I'm slightly looking forward to that he is working on is his movie adaptation of The Incal. Which is an incredibly lore dense and rushed graphic novel. I am morbidly curious how they are going to distill that down to movie length. Seeing as how it was based off a project to make a Dune movie which would have been 7 hours long.

Rape is also a major recurring theme in The Incal. But they will probably keep that in seeing as how it's essentially a story about a dumb, greedy, absurdly shortsighted white guy constantly being screwed over by various cosmic horrors.

The Jodorowsky version of Dune, for those keeping score at home.  I read the wiki for the graphic novel.  I'm sure it's insanely stylish, especially with Moebius helping out.

Most non-conformist "it will piss people off" thing anyone could do would be to make a good movie, true to any source material, cast by predominantly white actors.

I'm sure he means he put a chick in it and made her gay and lame

About Thor he said "I'll ruin your mythos in a minute". Well, it's not really a Thor movie if it doesn't follow the mythos, is it?
Why do these morons want to piss off the fan base?  I guess it plays well in Hollywood, but it's not a formula for success long term.

Kathleen Kennedy seems to be determined to destroy the IP.

I think people are way too hard on the TV shows for the most part, but Disney completely blew any credibility they had with the sequels.

Andor was really very good. Filoni/Favreau seem to know what fans want if they'd just leave them alone to deliver it.

If they just get Revan right I'd forgive the weak parts of the series.

I view Taika Waititi as mixed in terms of quality.  Some of his stuff is funny and some not.  Take JoJo Rabbit for example.  It's not really a bad movie, but not as funny as the trailer made it seem.

His style is emotional rollercoaster. If you look at a lot of his movies they follow the light and funny format up front then you get dick slapped in the face with some harsh reality and feels toward the end.

I used to like Star Wars when I was a kid, I didn't like the 3 Prequels at all and I only watched a couple of the new new ones. At this point I'm just apathetic. I don't care as I'm not going to watch it anyway.

On a side note, if you like Star Wars that's fine, I enjoy some questionable stuff as guilty pleasures knowing they aren't awesome. That being said Star Wars is so fucking mid it's not even funny. The amount of people that seem to dedicate their lives to it and Harry Potter just baffles me. Last time I was in Orlando for a work conference all the obese adults walking around in their robes...

He did, but I think that was an example of Taika Waititi under reins, i.e. a little of his offbeat humor works, when there are folks to go, "OK...maybe not that..."

I think Thor: Love and Thunder is an example of Taika granted free rein due to tge succes of Ragnarok, and Love and Thunder was a MESS. Out of the blue, Korg's entire race is gay. The whole Russell Crowe bit was just

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, because I thought GOTG 3 was in a whole different league to T:LAT.

I found GOTG 3 enjoyable. I can't count how many times I went, "W...T...F..." while watching T:LAT.

Ragnarok and Love and Thunder, are like watching the awkward kid telling a few funny jokes, then when he gets more confident and daring, he starts pushing further and stuff goes from funny, to "WTF is wrong with this guy? I knew he seemed a little weird, but daaaamn..."

No...

At cloud city, Luke would find out that Vader was his Mother.

Vader's entire motivation will revolve around dead naming, troon rage.

But then Luke would later come to understand the "but you told me Vader murdered my father" conversation much differently and in a hilarious new light.
