[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7591973, member: 4348"] I'm getting to see it whether I really want to or not. One of the perks of my life I enjoy I guess. I hope I enjoy it...but I have much lower hopes for this movie than I have for other movies, which means I can be impressed, not that I will be. I just hope they don't have jokes that are going to be dated before the movie is even released this time around. This was a pretty big mistake I think JJ and the rest have backed off from in recent months. I think when you have half the comments coming from women and then telling them that they hate themselves...and it's coming from a white male telling these women this...that it didn't go over all that well with the general audiences as they slowly found out about this. They took a cursory look at demographics that were criticizing without taking a broader look before commenting. Today, with the exception of one toxic individual (which, I haven't a clue why they keep him around, he's managed to insult just about EVERY demographic out there, women, minorities, etc), I don't see anyone at or connected to Lucasarts saying anything of the sort recently. I think they've taken some of the legitimate criticisms into mind. However, I think with the break coming, the TYPE of reset that will be done will be dependent on how IX does at the theater. If it does well, it probably will just be a reset of time to let things settle and build off what's been created. Probably new series on streaming to add onto the new EU along with at least a trilogy of movies if not more in the like which Netflix and other streaming services make. A Cinematic release would come eventually as well, just not as fast as the SW movies have recently to build time and hype about it. IF it crashes or bombs, that reset could be one that is a remake of the originals or prequels, or even a reset of the ST itself. [/QUOTE]
