He doesn’t exactly think out story arcs all the way.

Disney got the hint re: Star Wars. Spin-off movies likely on hold

Too bad. I liked them.

Yup. I appreciated a good action movie without the Hollywood filth.

they got the wrong hint

Yup. The stinker was TLJ

That sucks. The spinoffs are better than the main releases.

Carnac

yeah, it should be fairly obvious Solo was too close to Last Jedi

Do one movie every other year.

displacedute

Agreed

Carnac

6/20/18 2:17pm

What hint? That prior movies were too uninspiring?

Paco

Released too soon together and not good enough.

Cougarrr

6/20/18 2:26pm

Too soon? Nope. Non-issue. Not good enough? Bingo! If Solo had been better peopl

Even the best movies can fail if marketing is poor.

Cougarrr

6/20/18 3:16pm

And Solo was only "OK" with poor marketing...

This. The problem was TLJ being super lame. I don't have much interest in any

Hopefully they really focus on IX because TNT isn't seeing much

TNT

Good. Don't want to Marvel the crap out of Star Wars. Show some restraint and make the movies good.

My thought exactly

Weird. The spin off movies have been my favorite ones in the Disney era.

Disney sucks. Glad they won't do it

You nerds should find something worthwhile to protest.

Cant have nice things. Negative unwarranted backlash doomed the star wars

*negative warranted backlash you mean.

Blue Print

nope i've highly enjoyed all the recent films. Way better than episodes 1-3.

Welp. There goes the obi wan Kenobi vs. Maul rematch

It already exists (spoilers). It wouldnt be changed for film as this is already canon. Sorry if people dont follow it.

They need to stop and come up with a long overarching story to tell over many movies. It's what they should have done

SpiffCoug

This is one of the most perplexing aspect of Disney Star Wars. They seem to just be winging it and have no story arc

sgriff

6/20/18 7:12pm

Yep, they should have been much more patient before releasing the 1st movie.

The decision to rush out a movie without any thought to any overarching theme isn't on Abrams.

SpiffCoug

6/20/18 9:22pm

True. More blame should be on Kathleen Kennedy for not having a story arc ready. Too bad they couldn’t have Marvel’s guy

sgriff

6/21/18 11:22am

did you see the end of Infinity War? That was the dumbest ending of a film i've

buckeyecougarguy

6/22/18 11:36am

Several movie series have left us hanging or on a sad note. Look no further than Empire strikes back for something

sgriff

6/22/18 1:14pm

i know there are movies with cliff hanger and sad endings but other films did

buckeyecougarguy

oh come on. Abrams is fine. Hes had some great great stuff including what he did
