    THIS IS NOT A HATE VIDEO
    I figured out the 2 things the newer Disney Star Wars content is missing the most. And it isn't what you expect. This isn't hate for any Star Wars content...especially that of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.

    Moments...
    OT - Vader to Fett: "no disintegration"
    Despite some Kenobi series issues, when Hayden said "you didn't kill Anakin, I did" it was a genuine moment, one of the best in the franchise.

    Full disclosure, I'm a prequels kid and saw Space Balls about 100 times before I even knew A New Hope existed. Now as a parent, I'm having a blast shepherding my 7yo daughter through the movies in release order and watching the animated shows (Young Jedi Adventures has been a big hit in our house). I didn't particularly enjoy the sequel trilogy, but my daughter loved those and says Rey is her favorite. I know Disney "wokeness" is unpopular in some corners of the internet, but having female representation and character development beyond the damsel in distress is a welcome evolution in my opinion.

      The same is true with my granddaughter. She lives Rey. And I think that’s awesome. Growing up, my sister didn’t like Star Wars but said she can now get into it too. I told her there was Leia. She said, “yeah but Luke was the hero.” So, I don’t see a problem with female leads.

      I know everyone says that Rey is a woke moment of Star Wars but many are failing to admit that George Lucas' treatment of the sequel trilogy had a girl seeking training from Luke and met up with a very "cynical Luke." So in many ways the Sequel trilogy did follow similar framework as Lucas was thinking. Not 100# but it's there. I was a child when the QT was there, so I have been a fan since I was 8 years old. I love the sequel trilogies for what they are, but for what they are not. I love that it captured the hearts of children and new fans. This is what it was for me with the QT, for those with the Prequels.

      Rey is a girl boss, and as such not a positive role model for young girls. You also forget that Leia was not a damsel in distress, she was the OG who turned that trope on its head. She took charge in the escape from the Death Star and slayed Jabba. You’re talking out of your butts shilling for Disney

      @@JediHangoutI really don’t like the term “woke” but there’s plenty of legitimate problems people have with Rey. Most people don’t made that she’s a woman. I personally was never able to connect with her character, because I feel like she’s written inconsistently between films, and I feel like she’s used as a plot device more than as a character, especially in episode 9. I feel like she doesn’t get developed well either. Luke loses his hand at the end of Empire because he should have never gone. It’s unclear whether Rey really learned from her failures, which is part of why Episode 8 as a whole never really resonated with me either.
      I’m much more drawn to characters like Ahsoka or most recently, Omega, who I feel like I understand as characters and can see their growth.

    For me, It was the video games: Knights of the Old Republic (1&2), Republic commando, Original Battlefront (1&2) Force Unleashed (1&2) Jedi Outcast & Academy, Jedi Fallen Order & Survivor.
    I came of age after Revenge of the Sith so for me, My Star Wars "moments" are pulled from the LucasArts and Dark Horse comics. And for the most part, the "Filoniverse" of SW is quite solid for me. True, the Sequel trilogy is where my gripes with SW stand but this was done by the powers that be and I have to live with it.

    Awesome insights! I loved what you said, “What was missing was me.” The meaning in any piece of art lies in what it means to the person viewing it, and that is different at different times in our lives. The original trilogy was also made for a younger audience at a formative time in their lives - and drawn straight from the “hero’s journey” in mythology. What I loved the most about The Force Awakens is that it spoke directly to older fans who have lived a lot, and know that real stories don’t have simple endings. To see Leia and Han divorced, and estranged from their adult son, was telling a totally diffedifferent type of story. As a young child melancholy made no sense to me. But it resonates differently now. I love how Star Wars tells many different types of stories these days.
    I’m interested in your future video about how Luke was only being trained to fight Darth Vader. You make a very good point there. I think that makes a very interesting comparison to the Harry Potter series, and Dumbledore’s hidden intentions of what he was raising Harry for. It would be interesting to compare Dumbledore’s mentorship of Harry with Obi-Wan/Yoda’s mentorship of Luke, from that point of view.

      It’s a video I’m very excited about. I was actually connecting the lines between Potter and Star Wars when I thought about it. And you’re right, as adults we have lost the rose colored glasses and have experienced difficult things in our lives. Finn turning on the first order is like any of us standing up against a boss that is less than empathetic to the needs of his employees. Han and Leia separating is something we have all seen, but as children we see the world from a perfect view. A lot of fans don’t get that. Thank you!

  • @indiana_holmes
    @indiana_holmes Před 2 měsíci +2

    I definitely agree with you.
    But I think one of the reasons most of these 'moments' no longer exist or why they don't hit as hard, is also due to the fact that many of the creators/execs involved in the newer Star Wars projects are not as invested in the creation of a world like Lucas was. Even if Lucas seemed to half-ass some of his ideas and changed things around for the final product, he put all of his passion and heart into creating Star Wars and he did so for himself, to present the universe he envisioned.
    Love it or hate it, Star Wars has become a product (which it did even while Lucas owned it), and the current owners definitely want to milk it for its value. I'm not saying I don't still enjoy new Star Wars content, but you can definitely see it in the effort that's put into some projects vs others.

    • @StarWarsFanatic

      I can agree with all of this. The problem is the marketing. It doesn’t seem like they are marketing Star Wars the way George Lucas did. At least not the shows. Only pitting out trailers a month prior to the series premiere? And I never see adds for the toys anymore.

    I think we must understand as older fans how we may have related to the younger characters all so vibrant and gallant in their lives rebelling from the oppression of the empire but as we age we can now relate to Yoda in his wisdom as once he was ready to defend it with his lightsaber and save the day in revenge of the sith in a certain point of view. He realized as qi-gon coaxed him into the realization that he was needed to last for years to train the next generation. We too must surrender our grasp on controlling the magic of future trips into our beloved universe and as return of the Jedi starts Yoda can finally give Luke the choice to choose his path so must we as well. As future installments will only attempt to catch the magic of the originals yet they won't because it now has other things to compare to, and each of us has our favorite aspects. Love the vid. Gonna subscribe. Thank you for your effort.

    Star Wars is more than entertainment.
    There are very impactful moments in video games, shows, and movies.
    I saw this moment in theaters, Chirrut's moment when he realized he was the only one that could get to that switch that meant he was going to have to put himself in danger, he walking out and praying the words, 'I'm one with the Force the Force is with me.' and he repeating it over gave him the courage to do that. The Death Troopers were the most elite in the Empire's Army, and their shots were missing Chirrut as he walked to the control because the Force was protecting him. He died from an explosion that was very sad, but it was a hero's death.
    Anikan's moment was very impactful. Watching his son about to be murdered by Darth Sidious is what woke him up. He could not live with the horrible mistake of letting his son die, so when he grabbed and picked up Sidious, threw him, and destroy him, Anikan knew he himself would die from this, it's what redeemed and saved him. Luke saved his dad from himself, I don't know how that wouldn't impact anyone.😢😂😊
    Lando destroying the Death Star also redeemed him, but what was insanely impactful was that he was still in the Death Star as it was beginning to explode and realized the explosion engulfed him and everyone on board gave me goosebumps cause it look impossible to escape, the explosion already reach the outside of the opening. Until!! Woosh!!✨️
    He and everyone made it!!✨️
    And I'm like, how?!✨️ Cause the Force protected them, that's how.✨️😲😄

    Part of it is definitely nostalgia. Nothing has ever beat my experience in the theater row in '78 watching that first Star Destroyer rumble into view. Part of it is Disney too, They're afraid to try anything too out there because of certain elements of our toxic fandom getting butthurt. Sometimes experiments need to fail a few times before you get things right, and some people want perfection to their own taste, the very first time. Life doesn't work that way, though. All in all, the franchise didn't suffer the gloom and doom we were all told was the inevitable result of a Disney takeover.

Dark side is the haters, they just hate everything, and before hand nowadays. And I'm the grey guy: the prequels dereailed Star Wars, and no, Filoni hasn't fixed it, I don't care, but I don't hate what was done there and after. It's just what it is.

    I was young when the prequels came out, but I had already been an OT fan for a long time....and I remember how people felt about the prequels (myself included.......I still think that Attack Of The Clones is one of the worst movies I've ever seen...), and then when the sequels came out, I started realizing that plenty of people were saying "That's not as good as the original!!! Only the OT and the prequels are good!!!!!" ....and it was mind blowing to me that certain people would consider the OT and the prequels to be comparable in terms of quality......My point being, I wouldn't be surprised if someday some kids who will have grown up loving the sequels and the Disney era projects to be their version of "classic Star Wars".........We'll see, but yeah, I think a lot of our appreciation of Star Wars comes from how old we were and in what state of mind we were when we first saw were introduced to specific movies.....which characters did we pretend to be, etc lol......To be clear, I'm not saying that certain Star wars projects aren't objectively superior to others from a cinematic perspective (I personally think that Rogue One, Andor, Episode IV, and Episode V are among the best Star Wars releases that we've had.......and I'd even say that Episode V's special edition makes the movie better (Cloud city is more interesting visually speaking.)

      Well, there are a lot of newer fans born of the sequels. Maybe not as many as the originals and prequels but they are there. I think a lot of the issue with the generations is that there is so much content being created all around (not just Star Wars) that it takes attention away. Meaning…we are all starting to have the attention span of a guppy. If a story doesn’t wrap up into something that fits into a TikTok video…people lose interest.

    Nostalgia for mix of feeling of first time, when you were young, and discover something new is a really powerful bias.
    Boomers of previous generation hated on Prequels for same reasons.
    Hell, even the Empire Strikes Back already received it's share of "Not the same Star Wars" kind of criticism.
    Even in recent examples, when year ago I tried Fallen Order and Survivor for my first time I was blown away of how fresh and mysterious everything felt.
    I've beaten both games for more than 10 times already, and the feeling of first time just cannot be replicated, yet when I think about those games I still reference that old feeling of new and undiscovered.
    Sure, I wouldn't ignore elephant in the room: the last jedi was too bold to go against not just fans want's, but against basically souls of established characters. But watching on entire decade of disney star wars from the prism of one movie would be too closed minded.
    Because what was the main criticism of the force awakens? That it was just a remake of a new hope. Basically for bringing back old and familiar, instead of making new and original.
    The main criticism of series shows is basically lack of budget and overstretch of content. We know Kenobi should have been a movie, but they filled it up in volume, and therefore lost in quality. That's where bad CGI and idiotic script moments are from. Same for BoBF and Ahsoka - the core is good, it just needs polishing.
    Other than that - I don't feel like Star Wars of the disney decade is lacking behind Star Wars of old.

    Those who do not like the sequel trilogy are like those who didn't like the prequel trilogies. You are correct that there is the element of our childhood with the original trilogy, but the new materials didn't rob me of my childhood. My childhood was not in a bubble with just Star Wars, and that is saying a lot for me because I had childhood trauma and the only relief I had was Star Wars. I turned to Star Wars when I was experiencing my trauma as a child. My parents knew I loved it and made sure I enjoyed it as a child. but still I had other things in my life, such as the love of my parents and the love of my sister and the love of my friends. I had other things too. The Special Editions, Jar jar, and the Sequel trilogy didn't rob my childhood. If anything, it added to it. One important thing about the Last Jedi. I related to Luke in that film. What he had experienced I had recently experienced in my career when it all fell in my face. Watching the Last Jedi helped me overcome and return to my career. Also, it was the year that my mother passed away early that year. Luke said something that helped me with that emotional experience. He said to Leia "no one is really gone." It brought tears to my eyes.

    Wow, the first critique that actually contemplates that at least some of the “problem” MIGHT be the critic. I’ve said many times, it could be just that we’re older and we’ve outgrown a lot of this stuff… there are many issues that have nothing to do with us, storytelling, story structure, pacing and priorities, but those are minor cosmetics, a lot of the issue is just that i’m not who I was when i first watched Star Wars (before it was called a new hope). I’m not the kid who got an AT AT for his birthday, i’m not the kid who pretended my back yard was the forest moon of endor.

    I don’t know that it’s the moments that are missing. I think it’s the music that accompanied the moments that are missing. If you think about the OG trilogy there’s a lot more, I guess it’s tonal inserts. I think it’s more part of the past era.
    You immediately notice it if you go back and watch a series like Star Trek Enterprise or the X-Files, then watch the OG Star Wars Trilogy and then watch a few episodes of the Mandalorian. The ambient sound is also harsher. I’m sure I would want to go back to the old way for everything, but for some stuff. (Movies)
    Music has a way of directly activating emotional states that you typically have to build up to with visuals.
    The sequel trilogy adds to be a lot of interesting characters, in well executed environments VFX, cinematography etc. in a poorly conceived and uninteresting story.

The prequels didn't ruin our childhoods at the time so there's no way we're now older, parents even, and letting these movies ruin our childhoods.
    I'm starting to believe this stuff is built into all the nerdy fandoms I frequent, not just Star Wars. It's just a little louder and larger over here. As long as my kids have a good time with it and not complaining or falling asleep in the movies, that's a win nowadays.
    That's how I feel about all this. Some stuff is better than others but to hurt ither people and get genuinely mad over this stuff is... I can't find the word.

    I have to admit, I don't know.
    I think the sequel trilogy ended up bad. Not to the kids, I agree, they may love it, it's ok. I kinda like the first one, the second one is not a perfect film, but it has great moments, and I don't mind grumpy Luke, it's other things that bother me. But episode 9 is a deal breaker.
    I love Rogue One. The Mandalorian is ok, but I admit I haven't seen S3 yet. I kinda lost interest... I watched Ahsoka, but it was meh.
    I don't know if there is anything missing. It's just different. At the same time, maybe not. Maybe it was just us who changed. (I'm 47.)
    I have to say, to me, it derailed on the prequels already. I never got over them. As you said, what I do with it is what matters, and I don't hate them, it's just not what I wanted, and never will be. So, I guess I'm just used to the fact that it didn't go the way I thought it was going to go. (Pun intended.)
    So it is what it is. And that's ok.

    Two things that Disney “Star Wars” is missing:
    Any connection to the established “Star Wars” fictional universe, its internal logic and physics, and its essential canon.
    Any respect for or relevance to the quality, the content, and the canon of the “Star Wars” franchise, or for that matter, for either the established fanbase or the wider audience.
    I must vehemently disagree with you. The trilogy to come out of Disney, now widely referred to and dismissed as the “anti-sequel trilogy“, is indeed comprised of bad films. Or, more accurately, of an initial, fairly mediocre film, followed by two bad films, all three of them lacking in any unifying story arc connecting them to the “Star Wars” franchise, and lacking in even an internal coherence. Rey picking up a light saber and suddenly, magically becoming a skilled Jedi who handily and unbelievably defeats a fully trained and battle-experienced warrior, before receiving any significant level of training? Really?
    Yes, stories as they are developed for “Star Wars” need to be fresh and new, in order to keep the franchise relevant. But those stories have to adhere to, and extend from the establish canon, contributing to it, not abrogating it.
    I don’t care when wet for nostalgia. I do care for coherence. I care for rationality. I care for quality. Vast majority of offerings from Disney/Lucasfilm have had none of those. You mentioned a few that showed some spark. But they are very few, and represent very little compared to the mass of dross that has come from Disney/LucasFilm.
    My childhood has not been ruined because of the anti-sequel trilogy. It will not be ruined because of “The Acolyte”. Criticizing the anti-sequel trilogy, and the rest of the garbage that has come out from Disney/Lucasfilm, is not tantamount to ruining the experience for new potential fans. It is recognizing their glaring shortcomings, their flaws, the degree to which they have not merely deviated from but aggressively disrespected and rejected what “Star Wars“ is as a franchise, as a kind of modern mythos.
    Innovation is fine. Deviation and disrespect are not. These recent expressions are just that, excretions. Recognizing their lack of quality, their lack of coherence, the lack of connectedness to the “Star Wars“ fictional universe, or calling out the ignorance and lack of talent on the part of the people who have created them, it’s perfectly legitimate.
    Criticism is part of the adult approach to moving forward. This notion that there should be no criticism, that no accountability should be required on the part of those responsible, is both ludicrous and inappropriate.

    Eh, even if Luke didnt have the training to teach others, the fact that after his first "mistake" he never once tried to fix it. He sidnt go after ben after he destroyed his temple. He didnt try to go after snoke. He just ran. And I'll here arguments for Obi Wan and Yoda running and hiding, but they still had a purpose. Ben to watch over Luke, and Yoda to be a guide to other lost jedi and eventually Luke. They were also ACTUALLY HIDING. It was the dawn of an establishment that hunted there kind down.
    Everything happened to Luke during the New Republic. There is absolutely no reason he couldnt have had help with this. Whether the New Republic was rediculously ignorant or not. None of it makes any sense.

    The sequels had some cool ideas, but they rushed it all and messed it up. I love what happened in Legends after Endor, but the Sith Fleet was really cool too. Too bad the entire sequel trilogy was 1 year and 1 day. The whole New Republic was destroyed in 1 shot (apparently they kept their whole fleet and all their forces in 1 system). The Resistance was reduced to 12 people, but amassed another 100 or so in a year and took down the entire First Order and the Sith Fleet… yeah right. Why not let some years pass. Let the New Republic fight back after losing its Capital. Have a drawn out Galactic War instead of rushing to end it like the last season of GOT. Then there is that new formula/ agenda in movies where the Hero from the Original content is a disillusioned, old man that needs a Mary-Sue, Girl Boss with zero character development or personality to save the universe. Rey sucked as a character, and not because she was female. She was a dunce that didn’t want to leave Jakku. Then suddenly she is all about the Resistance and the fight to save the galaxy from the First Order with peeps she met 2 seconds ago. Luke had just met his friends, but he also wanted nothing more than to leave Tatooine and join the Rebellion most of his life. So it made sense that when his family was killed, he would take off and start his new journey. Over four years pass before the Battle of Endor. Then in Legends, because the Empire was so freaking huge, the fighting continues. I tried very hard to like the Sequels. I hated how the Prequels were treated. They weren’t perfect either, but that Star Wars feeling was still there like when I was a kid during the Original Trilogy. It was heartbreaking seeing Anakin’s turn knowing it was also necessary. The Sequels just don’t have any of that. It is true.

    The main issue with introducing something new into Star Wars is the usual backlash to such things from a very vocal minority of 'haters'. These people seem to despise Disney and anything they do when it comes to Star Wars; and gods forbid Disney try to leave the strict confines Star Wars canon (which is defined by them of course). I'm not defending Disney; they've done much to deserve a lot of that hate; but still, it leaves the IP rehashing the same old themes and stories only with a new paint job. There's a lot to be excited for with upcoming Star Wars projects; but then you see the idiotic backlash to projects like The Acolyte and that excitement gets heavily curtailed because you just know, deep down, that the stupidity will ultimately win out.
