Disney breaks even

This is an interesting diversion to go on. Where am I with the edit. Stuck in limbo. No I didn't just hang up the stuff and can the project. I've actually progressed so much that it's just the story board plug in elements that need to be put together smoothed out and have music added then the final battle will be finished. I fixed the off bits in the first part, I definitely can finish it and get it up on youtube. It's not over, I'm just beat. I don't have the will to struggle with this and stare at this blazing monitor for hours, gonna go blind if I do that.

Just wanted to talk about this. So apparently Disney's actually made back that 4 bil they bought for star wars already TODAY.

So yeah, Lucas selling star wars was more or less a bargain sale for disney. They're going to see massive, ridiculous profit from the acquisition.

I just personally wish they were more ambitious films. They feel too damn prequelish at times. The OT was so big so massive in size, you could have Han Solo who has no relation to anyone just joining the fight, you could have boba fett, you could have, Lando, Lobot, whatever random new character or whatever and worlds, from some unrelated but interesting corners of the galaxy we never will get to see but sound fascinating.

Prequels have to have everything connect and be so miraculously small and personal in a movie series dealing with the infinity of space itself. Sucks man... So yeah, the new trilogy having the main villain being freakin woopty doo dah, the son of han solo for whatever reason just screams fan service. The finn character and his story is all garbage, no reason to give a damn about him given, and suddenly this one guy's so connected to the events of the skywalker story even though he's random nobody, I'm so sick of him, not even worthy of battle star galactica, get the hell out of star wars. All I'm saying is the new trilogy has its problems despite them trying to cover them in gloss and make us forget they're there.

Do I even care about the next movie, honstly no. It might might not feature ghost Luke. Do I want to see ghost luke? No. I want Luke, in his flesh and blood fighting. Honestly I might just consider The Last Jedi the whole thing, I'll drop force awakens, keep my star wars, 4, 5, 6, 8 the rest is What If.

Star wars deserves better than JJ Abrams. Haven't watched Star Trek beyond fully yet, watched bits of it here and there but from just the little bit of it I've seen, it kicks JJ's Star Trek's ass simply because they got a new better guy in the director seat. Going back to JJ is a huge mistake that Disney can't or refuses to see since they consider him a safe bet. Rian Johnson was the risk, and yet it paid off handsomly. Go for it. Be more risky and play around with newer ways to do star wars. Just jumping backwards with it when it was just getting interesting, so bad.

I'm 31 right now. 20 years ago, Lost in Space thrilled and captivated my little ass MORE than JJ's bullshit. That's why I'm so pissed. It's just not right. I should not think 90s lost in space kicks star wars' ass. And no, I don't think Lost in Space is better than Phantom Menace or Revenge of the Sith. It certainly woops AoTC, but my point is, it shouldn't beat any star wars, gotta try harder.

But anyway, yeah it's just an interesting time to be alive... we're getting big budget Star Wars EU. Everybody is losing their shit on youtube, saddest thing I've ever seen, pathetic grown adults crying about their star wars being ruined when all I'm thinking, is where the fuck were all of you when the EU was pumping shit loads of stories out its ass. I'd rather the official people who worked on star wars at all be having a hand in creating their own EU than some random bunch of people somewhere in a corner of the world, don't you agree?

It's never going to stop. You can't stop EU. Might as well somebody who literally can call Lucas on her cell phone and ask him what he thinks be able to control the direction of the franchise. Like I said, if you think Lucas has NOTHING whatsoever to do with these new movies, you are STUPID. He visits sets. Basically God walking amongst his creation whenever he's invited to wherever etc. He's legitimately interested in where they can take it. He always has been if you look into it.. if you think Coruscant was his creation, No. HE got the idea from EU, thought it was cool and made it official on film. That's Lucas, he's actually malleable and open minded and interested in how people reimagine star wars. I'm sure TLJ got his approval greatly because it did try to open star wars up more to new ideas and concepts. Just imagine a star wars made by someone like del toro, burton, cuaron, just imagine that shit. Love creepy weird ass star wars, love it.

So in the end I'm sad that Lucas isn't manning the helm. He really is the one person on this earth alive who you can KNOW has a full understanding of star wars even if his ideas go off the rails at time. They're 100% authentic star wars and will feel real. Of course now we're all struggling with the possibility of whether star wars can work without him. In some respects I think it can. I mean if you get the right guy like Genndy on it, it'll definitely be practically 100% since that's Genndy at his soul, he's a star wars kid. He won't mess around and keep it in line with how it should be done. Then you get the divisive nature of someone like Rian Johnson coming along and taking star wars and shredding it and putting it back together his own damn way he feels like it, and you wonder IF this can work, can star wars still be star wars when it's done like this and it's not familiar.

All i can say is that I've read EU as a kid. I feel the same way about those books as I do about the new movies even if the old actors return. There are EU that are so good, SOOOO STAR WARS. Even more than the prequels. Yes, it can be done, it'll be tough as shit, but it can be done to emulate the star wars feel in an EU fashion and we're getting there. Kinda have to divorce ourselves even MORE from JJ abrams rocky start to things, but in the next film, if they take it further, make the universe not feel tiny and personal, make it feel epic, have a new fun story, new good characters, yes, it'll be fine.

And maybe Lucas will feel like selling it was a bad idea... Could have kept the rights, made all this stuff himself with more creative imput allowed. Damn though, don't think he wants that. He's quite humble about his faults and does know that his own ego will get in the way of someone elses vision getting made so maybe there's that, but the news out that Disney stands to surpass the 4 bil they paid for it to me, Lucas is kicking himself, if he asked for MORE Disney would have gladly paid it... that's the thing. But well, that ship has solar sailed.
