Hero
Ah, but don't get me wrong: I'm nearing 40, I grew up with the OT, I've seen the PT on opening day each time, I've read my share of EU before it became Legends...Reelo-Just curious since this is your trilogy. Is it better? What makes it better?
My trilogy had an impact for 40 years. Realistically is Rey the next Vader? Vader is considered one of the top10 most iconic villians of all time. Is there anything iconic in this movie or the previous movie
In empire when vader says hes lukes father the star wars community went crazy (well as a younger kid I felt it did). so far what was your crazy moment
My expectation were
Luke would die-based on age of actor.
other major actors would die also due to age or basically unwilling to do more (Ford)
to be honest i'm pleasantly surprised chewie has big role in movies but I'm now very worried about the fate of 2 droids
I expected new heroes to rise and to have new love for these. I've done these for new books where the author killed of hero and replaced with a new 1
I do feel like sequels/remakes like jaws +1, terminator 3+, Alien 3+ seem to be chasing the magic of what made the first 2 good but maybe that's me. I feel like Post empire has been doing the same thing. However the formula seemed to have worked for other franchises such as Toy Story
It's just that now, being a dad of 2 boys, I've made peace with the fact that the late-70, early-80s charm of the OT will never be recaptured. Make it too similar visually, like R1, and some people will complain. Make it different, like the PT, some people will complain. Make it similar story-wise, like TFA, some people will complain. There's no pleasing everybody.
Had Luke been any different than what he was in TLJ, coming in guns blazing, he would have outshined the new cast. Don't deny it, we all wanted it. But we didn't need it. RJ wiped the slate clean for things to come.
As I said, the OT will continue to be what it is, the films to come will (have to) be their own thing.
I've made peace with that fact.
