I don't think there's an audience for a new trilogy. After what they did with the last one everyone is long gone.

*neatoman* · 09-27-2026, 01:53 PM

So are they doing this because they actually think it's a good idea or because they have to in some sense?

*Andrew NDB* · 09-27-2026, 02:03 PM

They have to eventually make new and good stories that move things forward, particulalry BECAUSE the last trilogy was so sh**. When you're watching any random new Star Wars project you know that no matter what, everything ends up with the ST, then that's not workable.

Of course, I don't think Snitchberg is the guy to write any of this stuff. But the general idea is sound. And inevitable.

They can't even appropriately retcon the sequel trilogy given that they killed off Han & Luke and then of course Fisher is gone in real life, sooo....

Talk about the absolute ruining of a franchise without any way back.

By the way, what are we gonna call this? The Second Sequel Trilogy? Sequel Trilogy 2.0? The Sequel Trilogy to the Sequel Trilogy? The Squared Sequel Trilogy?

Yeah I haven’t watched a single minute of anything Star Wars since Last Jedi. Sad!

*CyberCubed* · 09-28-2026, 06:49 AM

They're doing this way too soon, the last movie came out as recently as 2019. I did expect Episode X eventually but I thought they would wait till Rey's actress was like middle age or something (or at least 40) to do it.

Why they doing it so soon when its only been 6 years later? Makes no sense. Wait till Rey is 35-40+ at least.

*neatoman* · 09-28-2026, 06:57 AM

2019? If we're arbitrarily following what's considered the "main series" of Star Wars movies, then that is true. Although, we got a new Star Wars movie less than half a year ago, doesn't really matter that it was cobbled together from TV scripts and didn't... What do we even use to classify a movie as part of the main series? A title crawl with a roman numeral at the top?

That's actually a sad way to go out too.... because The Mandalorian stuff, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan were all pretty good. Not without flaws, but pretty good.

I don't doubt you, but it just literally sucked all the joy out of it for me. I haven't gone back to anything. No movies, games, comics, books, cartoons, nothing.

The only way I see me ever going back is if my kid gets into it one day, but I sure as hell ain't introducing him to it. It's hard enough being a TMNT fan

Nothing says they can't have her play older than she is.

Same here. They killed my interest for eveything Star Wars related.

*Andrew NDB* · 09-28-2026, 12:56 PM

For me it's somewhat different, I guess.

Now, there is still nothing magical about a new Star Wars movie now for me, of course. That said, after the ST kind of killed Star Wars for me, at that point is when I actually started watching all of the Clone Wars and Rebels animated shows. As I was getting into the middle of marathoning it all... I dunno, that sort of "brought Star Wars back" for me in some way, as there is good stuff in there. And then Ahsoka dropped right as I finished Rebels, so it was like all the cartoons I'd just finished were paying off in big ways in live action, so that was cool and satisfying.

So yeah. Depending on how great Ahsoka season 2 is there might be further damage control done with me.

Like the last movie came out as recently as 2019...

I realise your post is 2 years old, but she turns 35 this coming April. Just as Palpetine, you have foreseen it!

I don't understand how Simon Kinberg keeps work in Hollywood post Dark Pheonix. He must have Kompromat on someone at Disney/Lucasfilm.
