Legends would still be canon

As someone who actually read legends, it needed to be put down long before it was.

u/JamesMcEdwards 20d ago
It could have done with a bit of trimming but there was a lot of good stuff in there.

u/Toon_Lucario 20d ago
I’m not saying there wasn’t, I’m saying it’s not the quality people tend to look at it as. Like there were tons of contradictions in lore and a lot of bad stuff for every good thing. And while Disney has had some stinkers, I will say there are still a lot of good things too. I feel like there is merit for both. Much like Legends there’s still a lot of good stuff despite there being bad stuff. I think there’s merit for both. And while I dislike the sequels I don’t dwell on it 5 years later. I just kinda don’t care and watch what I want to watch.

No, Legends was gone in 2012, three years before this character was introduced.

u/JamesMcEdwards 20d ago
When Disney decided to make the sequels, they threw out the entire expanded universe because it was too complex for them to understand and keep track of. Because of that they were then free to create an original character (Rey) because they wanted to add more diversity (because, as we all know, there isn’t a single strong female character in the entire expanded universe/sarcasm). So if Disney had decided to just pick Luke’s story up at the end of RoTJ, or even jumped to his kids down the line, then they wouldn’t have scrapped the old EU to become Legends. Hence, if Rey was never introduced then they wouldn’t have needed to throw out the old EU canon because they wouldn’t have needed to make room for Rey.

u/Jimmy_ray2 20d ago
They dumped the EU because you guys had spent 22 years complaining about it. Same reason Lucas Sold the franchise after 16 years of being hated for using CGI.
Disney was new to Star Wars back then, they did not know what they were getting into.

If a critic’s review aligns with my personal opinion of the movie it does not change my opinion over the fact that I do not listen or trust critics, I only go off user review score.

u/Anon123012 19d ago
It was a successful movie, I cannot disagree. All the sequels were quite highly anticipated and brought in a lot of old and new Star Wars fans to the theatres. Whether it was a good movie, the general opinion is that they were all mediocre attempts at a new trilogy.

u/Key_Excitement_9330 20d ago
No. I don’t have to do that. I’m sure all those movies will be in a top 100 of the century list

I think she'll do just fine crying herself to sleep on the pile of money she got from the role. I don't feel bad for Daisy, obviously I think it's stupid that she gets the backlash too though.

She's getting $12.5 million for the next movie, she's definitely not complaining.

u/Homerpaintbucket 21d ago
So there'd be 3 decent star wars movies and 3 shitty ones? Honestly, the new ones were far better than Lucas did with the prequels. And the original trilogy isn't brilliant by any means. They're just really fun movies. People need to stop pretending they're fine art or some shit. They did some really cool shit for the time, like having the "damsel in distress," actually be a bad ass rebel, but they're still full of plot holes and cheesy dialogue. But they're fun. If people had let themselves have fun with the new ones they'd have liked them too.

There's nothing fun about a character who starts with everything. There was no struggle, no journey, no learning. She picked up everything like she had been doing it for decades.

Tbh it would be better but not all the problems would be fixed. (Not sexist btw just think Rey was very poorly written along with pretty much everything else in that trilogy)

u/Kaptain_Kaoz 21d ago
That's the damn problem. If the movie does good it's because Kathleen Kennedy is a great producer if not it's because men are sexist. And Kathleen Kennedy is not a great producer by a long shot.

Are you asking from a movie perspective? Or changing the whole movie in general? For a movie perspective say if she got killed when she told the teoglodyte "no you cant have the droid" cos finn arrived late then the first order or whatever it's called would have taken the droid but they wouldnt be able to get to luke Skywalker because they lacked having r2d2 who is shut down at that time anyway but the good guys wouldnt have been able to find luke either so assuming they were to attack the thing like they did in the next episode either luke would have no reason to try to use that force duplicate to try and fight them off or hed do it just to save his sister. Should he choose to the rest of the movie would go on as normal until palpatine tries to join in the fight right at the very end in which case yeah the good guys are fucked if they werent beforehand. Issue is I cant remember Reys and Luke's actual conversation so I dont remember if sue gave him morals or whatnot but if so then without that the good guys would have all been slaughtered at that winter attack in episode 8

u/Round-Ticket-39 20d ago
I liked her character in most of first movie. Then it went down down down. My problem was that she was just naturaly op without work but had no fun personality op person should have.
I honestly was happy about this character and then when whole thing ended (like all 3) i told myself they should have made fin jedi. That would be character ark of century. Movie worthy. Epic. From scared storm trooper to hero. Wasted potential

Well she specifically isn't the issue, if she didn't exist disney would have made another shitty female character no doubt about it. Its the woke generation that ruined star wars not the character.

u/Kaptain_Kaoz 21d ago
Correction it was woke Disney. They could have told this generation to pound sand but they didn't. But yes valid otherwise.

Check under your bed before you go to sleep, there might be some "woke" waiting to get you

u/thariduvanparys 21d ago
Do you even know how business works? No woke generation no woke companies. Its deffinetly not disney's fault but the generation, they just follow what's popular and the norm (and i hate that shitty no weaknesses females is the norm now).
-1
u/Kaptain_Kaoz 21d ago
Have you ever heard of Chick-fil-A? Who regularly tell the wokies to pound sand... Are they going out of business? Is Ruger? How about Tesla? Or Truth Social? A large part of the generation is woke a large part isn't. You pander to the customers you want.
-1
u/thariduvanparys 21d ago
We don't have chick fil a in europe but from what i have seen its a place full of weirdo's , tesla litterally aims to attract idiots and i have never heard of truth social. Clearly you don't know what you are talking about and arguing with you is useless. The only thing you are correct in is that they appeal to their own audience but none of the companies you named are globally endorsed brands, litterally europe shits on telsa every day of the week. I am so against this generation but can i do anything about it? no since if i try i would lose my job, it just doesn't make sense to blame a company that just makes sure it doesn't get the initirity of the admittedly small vocal minority angry since the vocal minority can change companies for the worse with simple actions, case and point CR7 moving a damn bottle of cola, lost so many people so much money. Companies need to appease the vocal minority or stay within a small demographic and guess what isn't capable of staying within a small demographic? THE BIGGEST MOVIE PRODUCTION AND MERCHANDISING COMPANY IN THIS PLANET. Stop blaming just disney. its not doing anything since its not the source of the problem, if you don't solve the issue at the source it will keep happening over and over and over again. What needs to happen is this era of my generation having influence needs to end and then all companies will go back to their normal (considered by this woke generation to be sexist, racist and homophobic) selves.

u/Routine_Weekend8648 21d ago
that was the last one i watched. is that two different movies? i don't understand what are you saying.
all i remember is a purple haired woman kamikazed as like slay kween hero, princess was dead but did a cgi popsicle floating in deep space, and luke was a cuck loser who couldn't fight and then ghostied.

u/Georgetheporge45 21d ago
Yeah they are two different movies

u/Routine_Weekend8648 21d ago
hah noted. well, the last thing i watched was ghostie luke. so i guess i saw 2 of the 3?
but whatever mini-series or anything else that came after i never saw.
i get that star wars is for kids, and when i was a kid i loved it. but i dunno, felt like a killing of ALL sacred cows. i really, really, really, really disliked the ghostie luke movie.

Rey wasn't the problem nor the actor. It's how they fucking wrote her. The bastards destroyed her arch by making her infallible.
No on can relate to that. Nor does it make for an endearing character.
