My opinion is that Disney got us rather simplistic and formulaic fan fiction sequels with overblown visual effects, while treading all over the real thing (the SW Expanded Universe).
While the stories from the EU were of varying quality, at least they were interesting. These Disney sequels are so predictable and uninteresting it's not even funny.
Fortunately, each of us gets to pick their own canon. For me, it will always be books by Timothy Zahn, and Disney can't do anything at all to the physical copies that I have on my shelf.
- scarface74 8y agoI have mixed feelings about the Last Jedi, but it definitely wasn’t predictable.
- pferde 8y agoMaybe not in the individual plot elements, but the entire movie felt like they were checking off items from a list, and that they were fully aware that the movie is merely a fuel for the merchandise money machine . It was more or less just as naive and fairytale-y as the old Episode 4, and had exactly the right elements to make children go "ooooh" and "aaaaah" (and to pester their parents to buy them toys), and adults cringe. Which by itself is fine, I guess, but there wasn't any depth in it beyond the effects' wow factor.
