Lucasfilm will forever be my favorite story tellers with Star Wars forever being my favorite narrative in cinematic history. The way it changed the landscape of cinema still to this day and can’t be replicated, it is a permanent staple in film history, created an entire new genre of film (sci-fi/fantasy), and turned Hollywood into this new age of storytelling will never be replicated on such a massive scale ever again.
There is also the British production company: impossible pictures who was commissioned by the BBC to make walking with dinosaurs from 1999 it was impressive to see CGI on a television budget (which according to the Guinness world records holds the title for most expensive documentary produced per minute)
Thank you for the Star Wars The Skywalker Saga marathon and also the rerelease of The Phantom Menace, you have inspired us to come back to the movie theaters!!!
"What do we want to say to the world and how can we use Star Wars to say that." This is a well intentioned but really destructive way of thinking about storytelling. You don't "Use" a story, you tell it. Don't start with an ideology then force a story to fit that, start with a compelling story and characters then, if it enhances the story, weave ideas into the narrative. This is the ideological version of chosing a release date then writing a script.
The fact that there are billions of stars and countless planets in the galaxy far, far away means the storytelling possibilities are endless. My kids' grandchildren’s grandchildren will be enjoying new stories.
According to the art of dramatic writing, premise and character drive story. You seem to be putting the cart before the horse, which might explain your spectacular wonder flops over the past 10 years.
"Story drives everything that we do. It's the most important place to start." says Kathleen Kennedy. You can't make this up. I'm usually not the kind of "fan" that rages on the internet but to hear this from the people that drove this franchise against a wall in record time while having the audacity to pave this video with clips of people that created a whole universe out of thin air is a new level of impudence. Much love and respect for the hard working talents at Lucasfilm but throw this hypocritical video into the next Sarlacc pit. Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau and Gareth Edwards are the only guys that came up with great ideas since October 2012.
Amen to that my friend. There’s a reason why Star Wars is the only franchise where there hasn’t been and never will be reboots, rebranding, etc. it’s literally the only blockbuster franchise to exist without having multiple iterations, etc. It keeps pushing and moving forward. That makes it the most respectable franchise out there.

@@The2ndQuest I stand by my point, wasted potential Especially since Faloni still considers them canon to stories we won’t ever see Luckily some were made into books
@@that-1-boi Well that's the good thing- they still "happened" so we may still get to see them (or parts of them) through the years, in one form or the other. For instance- it has been speculated that the one Tales of the Empire episode is actually set during the events of Son of Dathomir, not Massacre. Even if that doesn't end up being the case, it's a good example of one way those stories can be shown from different POVs, etc. Bad Batch is another example where parts of a TCW story were reworked into a new episode as well.
If story is everything to Star Wars then they should hire better writers and give Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni more creative freedom and directive roles so they can give us the best Star Wars movies possible!
"What do we want to say to the world and how do we use Star Wars to do that?" If you start with the message first, the story will suffer. When you craft a story, the story will tell you what it's about and how it wants to be told.
I'm so grateful for everything I've seen from Lucasfilm. Particularly, I love the live-action STAR WARS tv series on Disney+ and I hope there are many, many more to come. 🤩
Story used to drive everything. Then Disney got a hold if it. I love how this official Star Wars vid sits at 17 thousand views while Jenny's recent takedown of the Star Wars hotel is at 5 million. Says a lot about Disney has utterly failed this brand
Story drives everything Into the ground Into bankruptcy Into South Park deserved parody Into ruining 2 franchises that were solid pre-Disney and Kathleen Kennedy. I’ve no idea how Spielberg and Lucas pissed her off but her leadership killed a studio and damaged their legacy. Her legacy is a cautionary tale of pride and ineptitude.

"Story" is not a thing you make up while filming
Technically it is because its improv
It is when your "writer" is a thing that's made up by the producer while filming

It really should be 'character drives story'. I think they got it backwards somehow.
“Story drives everything we do”
Yeah, and you guys have been driving it into the ground for a decade.
That first line cracked me up😂😂😂😂😂
I wanted the floor to open up beneath it. (them, they, it)
You say that but in reality
For the love of god reduce your usage of the Volume by 80%, and bring Tony Gilroy into every production meeting going forward.
They’re already continuing the Andor trend of location filming and zero Volume with The Acolyte! 😁
Love Tony Gilroy, he’s a great voice for spy & rebellion stories in Star Wars, but he’s said a bunch that he’s not a big fan of the fantastical side of Star Wars, it’s not his wheelhouse. He’d have nothing to add being in the room when breaking Jedi, Sith or alien-based stories.
I’d definitely have him tinker with a draft of the Rogue Squadron movie tho!

If Story is so important then go back and redo the sequels. Literally 95% of the fans would LOVE you for doing so.
Treat children as if they’re adults, and refrain from treating adults like children.
Hopefully the growing amount of effects combined in one scene will come to the maximum soon. Sometimes less is better, but my hopes aren't gone yet 🙂.

Story use to be the driver when George Lucas was in charge now it's DEI that is the driver.
This was great...at 46 seconds..is that Skeleton Crew?
The continuing story and filling in of the gaps of the timeline is what keeps me entertained. Thanks Lucasfilm.
Yeaaah...a lot of thought went into the sequels story.

“Story drives everything”
Then explain the sequel trilogy that you just made up as you went along 💀
The original script was already written by George Lucas decades ago. So, not everything was made up.
"Story Drives Everything?". Let us know when you start to do that. I won't hold my breathe.
Thanks, thanks, thanks, Lucas!!!!!❤

Unfortunately dude I think it's from promotional footage from Galaxy's Edge. Could be wrong though.
Biggest mistake was canceling clone wars, they cut 3-4 seasons worth of stories then only gave us 1 season due to fan request
So much wasted potential
2.5 were unproduced/unfinished, 0.5 of those were later finished. So only about 2 or less seasons were left unmade/unfinished.
