STAR WARS: Lucasfilm's Divisive Sequels Get New Posters Highlighting The Trilogy's Characters

'The Force Awakens' was the first Star Wars movie I ever watched and it felt magical. Really enjoyed that one.

The next two, well... those went downhill very fast.

Yes, because plasma was so important in the trilogy.

That's Disney characters not Lucas characters, BIG difference. Disney SW will never be loved liked Lucas SW was. Disney SW will never be an interesting story with interesting characters like Lucas SW was. Disney SW is nothing more then a streaming service product now to sell subscriptions. Lucas SW is still awesome and we'll always have that!

They should reboot the sequels. They deserve nothing more than what they did to Original Star Wars - piss on it. Reboot them. Forget the past. Kill it if you have to.

The only posters I buy, are Mondo's. My Batman tas posters came in yesterday, they're so beautiful! Too bad I can't post any pics on this jurassic site lol

TFA had a lot of great potential. I was excited to see what would happen with Finn, Rey, Poe, Kylo, and Snoke. I actually liked the actors, and I thought it was a great start for the new characters. Which flies in the face of many claiming Star Wars fans only want the same thing over and over. In fact my only complaint is that it mirrored the OT too much.

People praised Johnson for "Subverting expectations" and trying something different. How on Earth is that considered quality? Change isn't always good, neither is giving people something they didn't expect. What did we expect?

We expected the set ups from the previous films to pay off. We expected Lucasfilm to have an actual outline for the trilogy. Only to find out there was no roadmap other than MAKE THAT MONEY, and "reimagine" and "deconstruct" the characters we know. That's not a good plan. It backfired.

Meanwhile a random Mandalorian and a diverse cast of new characters popped up and everyone embraced them. INSTANTLY! Goes to show what it means to move a franchise forward without disrespecting the foundation on which it was built, and the fans who readily empty their pockets to participate in the worlds you create. Theme parks, merch, movies, shows, video games, books. We will gladly purchase all of them if we know it's good.

It's pretty simple. I like pizza. I like many different kinds of pizza. If I go to a pizza place or have it delivered, I expect to get pizza. It's what I paid for. It's what I expect. It could be pepperoni, it could be plain cheese, meat lovers, margherita, or even a pineapple pizza. But it should be pizza. If I order Pizza and you bring me meatloaf, or an omelette it will subvert my expectations, that doesn't mean I have to like it, and if I don't Im a toxic pizza fan afraid of change.

No other industry wags their fingers at consumers for not liking the product they put out. Speaking of pizza, Domino's actually ran a campaign acknowledging the fans backlash and actually worked to improve the recipe. Don't know if it worked because I'm not a fan of the company, but the effort is noted.
