I honestly don't think Disney purchased Star Wars to get their hands on the Prequels,…they promptly cancelled The Clone Wars and redirected the focus onto the OT era
I think it was arguably a mistake to cancel
Clone Wars, but I believe they wanted to shift focus toward the new series of films they're doing.
Rebels is good as well, so I can't complain too much. And Disney surely wasn't after that and the prequels primarily, but I don't think they plan to just leave it to wither forever. There's a saying at Disney, proven true over decades of experience, that says "No idea ever dies."
My boys (ages nine and five, currently) were disappointed that
Clone Wars ended. Now, they did grow up with me, a guy who enjoys all six existing films for various reasons, and without having me harping on how bad the prequels allegedly are, so I haven't been poisoning the well for them the way I suspect some fans my age do with their kids. To them, it is all
Star Wars and they love it all. Truthfully, right now they (especially the younger) seem to think the pinnacle is
LEGO Star Wars.
I think we all tend to bring our own confirmation biases to the table and interpret events in a way that suggests that our thinking is the predominant opinion. I
try to guard against that within myself, with perhaps some degree of success. One thing I do know is that the prequels made a
lot of money — the kind of money that is generally only possible from significant repeat business. Those people were probably going back because they didn't think the movies sucked.
theres nothing I'd want from the Prequels bar the Reliant….(mainly because it is a modified Blockade Runner)
I'm not familiar with that one from the name. Are you talking about the version of
Tantive IV that as later retconned into the
Sundered Heart? A trip to Wikipedia turned up three ships called
Reliant, none of which were seen in the prequels. Or did you mean
Radiant VII, the very first ship we see in TPM (and which was obviously inspired by the
Tantive IV)?
Bandai are hitting the right mark for me,….apart from the motorised XWing,….just the model without the electronics I'd go for though
Yeah, I want that as well. I'm tired of tiny X-wings, but I want that 1/48th kit. Lights are cool, but I don't need it to be motorized. Sounds like I'd just be paying extra for something that I might not use and which would eventually break down.
