Because the characters suck. They're generic and boring. I just watched a Jeremy Geeks & Gamers vid where rumor supposedly has it that George Lucas told someone in the movie industry that he hated the Star Wars sequel trilogy and what Disney did with them. Apparently in a clause that he signed with Disney when he sold them the rights to Star Wars, he cannot say anything disparaging publicly about the Star Wars films that Disney makes or else they can sue the shit out of him. The more that I think about "The Rise of Skywalker", the more horrid I think that it is. I took my daughter to go see it around the time that it first came out though and she absolutely loved it. While I thought that it was just okay, but nothing special. But she is still just a teenager and hasn't watched any of the originals yet. I have tried to get her to watch them with me over the years but she never wants to bother. You know how kids are. |

Ehh, it's too late to erase them (Disney Star Wars Trilogy), the damage has already been done. It's best to just ignore them at this point. |

My daughter is more into the Prequels because she thinks Hayden Christensen is hot, but when it comes to the OT she can't get into them as much.....the Disney films she never talks about........she will be 23 next month & still watches AOTC & ROTS.......she now lives in NY state so I have no idea if she has even seen "Rise of Skywalker".....she hasn't said anything about it.....& it never occurs to me to ask her. |

The Gang's all here.... View Attachment....taken in 2005 for "Vanity Fair"......Prequel & OT cast. Hey, Cool... They even included General Grievous! Surprised that there is no sign of Boba Fett, Jango Fett, or Darth Maul though? |

Surprised that there is no sign of Boba Fett, Jango Fett, or Darth Maul though? Yeah, I noticed that too, my guess is Ray Park(Darth Maul), Daniel Logan(Young Boba) & Temuera Morrison (Jango Fett) were unavailable for the shoot. |

So there is this guy at work who is 21, your typical millinial knucklehead snowflake who likes “Star Wars”.....so l asked him what movies he liked & disliked, he said he liked the prequels & the OT, but thought the Disney trilogy was a cop out.....his exact words......not only did Disney fail to get the hardcore fans on board but they also failed to get their target demographic audience on board as well...😂😂

So "Obi-Wan" actor Ewan McGregor just got his divorced finalized, he has to pay his now ex-wife 35,000 a month in alimony, 15,000 a month child support for the 9 year old daughter & half of any royalties made off of "Star Wars" merchandise bearing his likeness.......no wonder he is eager to do "Obi-Wan" again, talk about getting screwed in a divorce, all because he wants to be with Mary Elizabeth Winstead (The Thing prequel, 10 Cloverfield Lane).....I sure hope he is getting a lot of BJ's from her.....  |

Hey, Roman... Check this out. I stumbled upon this video clip on You Tube earlier this morning... Ray Park, the guy who played Darth Maul in "Star Wars Episode One" shows his skills at using a double-bladed lightsaber. Very impressive. Ray Park (Darth Maul) and a double-bladed lightsaber |

Ray Park still has those moves I see......George Lucas definitely picked the right guy to play Darth Maul.

I would have liked to have seen more of him in Episode 2. Same with Qui-Gon Jinn. Two very cool Characters that I think George should have utilized a little bit more of before killing them both off. That battle scene between Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi Wan Kenobi vs Darth Maul was still one of the best, and most intense lightsaber fights in all of Star Wars history. Qui-Gon Jinn & Obi-Wan Kenobi vs Darth Maul...with healthbars |

Yeah, say what you want about the "Phantom Menace" the Darth Maul/Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon fight was awesome.. I thought this was an interesting video from "Geeks & Gamers"....J.J. Abrams has shown what an idiot he really is in this video where he is blasting Hollywood for not giving minorities better roles....he sure is one to talk....what did he do with Finn???....NOTHING!!!....George Lucas made Billy Dee Williams & Samuel L. Jackson important characters & yet J.J. kicked John Boyega's Finn to the curve.....the nerve of this guy... www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ4_bcjFEIk |

I thought this was pretty interesting. I don't recall hearing anything about this in the news back in the day?Stealing Return of the Jedi: 1983 Rash of Movie Thieves "Star Wars Return of the Jedi was big money not just to the studio but also for movie bootleg pirates that wanted to get copies out to sell on the black market. Today we look at a rash of cases in 1983 of movie pirates trying to get reels of the Star Wars print"

This is what also hurt "Attack of the Clones" in 2002......people were pirating it on dark online websites......when the "Phantom Menace" came out in 1999 the Internet was still in its infancy.....so they were able to better control the prints....some of which were gaurded like the Pentagon.....not so with "Episode II"....by 2002 the Internet had advanced & many pirated it costing it the number one spot in 2002 which put it behind "Spiderman"......by the time we got "Revenge of the Sith" most dark online websites had been shut down......
