Re: Rumor: Disney to Remove Star Wars Sequel Trilogy from Timeline
#2The only one of the sequels that had any balls was The Last Jedi, and Disney was so frightened by the backlash to some of its elements (like the idea that our hero could be--gasp--a person of NON-royal lineage!) that it then spent the entire last movie trying to retcon everything that made TLJ potentially interesting.

#3It's one thing to make a bunch of stinkers, but then to pretend that said stinkers were in a completely alternate timeline through some sleight of hand retconning is absolutely bonkers and will fool approximately zero people.
Let's hope that this is just what it claims to be: a rumor.

#5I was bit angry when Lucas decided to make prequels (in the late 90s) instead of using original actors to make sequel, but now I understand why. The only way to continue original trilogy is to undo everything they achieved and spit on their legacy. That's why there shouldn't be any sequel. Let them have their victory and make new, original saga, in different universe.

It's one thing to subvert everything that your fanbase loves about a franchise, but if you don't give the audience any narrative payoff for doing so don't be surprised when they come to burn your house down.

Precisely. RoS turned TLJ into a mistake. A different sequel could have paid things off. Maybe.

#8Disneyland cast member says "world between worlds" == Disney will retcon the new trilogy. The rest is AI slop.

Balls without brains. Had some interesting turns for another story, different characters, a standalone movie. But to twist Luke into a milk-drinking murderer is not only beyond the pale but, not particularly intelligent either.
I'm reminded of the related Mr. Miyagi meme, LaRusso: "Will you train me?", Miyagi: "I hate everything and want to die." The End.

I'm not sure what you mean by "fool". These aren't real events, there's no such thing as an indisputable timeline outside of the context of an individual work. If Disney wants to make Star Wars movies set in a world where the sequel trilogy didn't happen, what's wrong with that, other than it potentially being confusing to viewers?
