They sure do come up with creative ways of saying "we're gonna donkey fuck this, and you'll fucking consume love it."
That's probably a good way to go, though I hate the idea of doing "the first Jedi." That being said, if the movie fucks everything up, 25,000 years is a lot of time for whatever they break to be fixed and covered up.
Can't possibly be worse than TRoS in any event.
They filled up every single gap from episode 1 to 9 (well except that whole emperor returning thing), so it makes sense to do something completely different.
“Somehow”. The emperor returned somehow. See, tidily wrapped up in one word.
Did any Star Wars movie ever care about "lore"? It is a fairy tale (not even Fantasy) set into a futuristic setting. It has as much lore as Cinderella, if at all.
I'm not a Star Wars guy but I was under the impression there's a pretty rich lore with all the canon books, no?
Yes and no. There is an absolute avalanche of Star Wars media with knotty, interwoven stories charting all sorts of characters and their escapades before, during, and after the films' time periods. However, 99% of this was jettisoned when Disney bought it. I believe they brought forward the original films, the prequels, The Clone Wars, and maybe a handful of other things, but all other media was siloed into the "Legends" continuity. Frankly, it's a move I understand. While there are standouts among the Legends stories, there's also a ton of dreck, made quickly and cheaply to cash in on the Star Wars boom of the 90s.
Whats funny, though, is that Disney's Marvel style approach to Star Wars (interconnected TV series, movies, games, etc.) has just started the rat's nest of continuity snarls and incomprehensible lore all over again, with the same highly uneven results as far as quality goes.
A "biblical style epic" about the Jedi with no lightsabers. I'm sure this will please the most toxic fan base in the world the way he is hoping.
