New big-screen Star Wars Rey movie announced at SW Celebration 2023

Man, I liked Rey. I kinda liked the Sequels. Buts weird to have big conclusion of one thing lead into something else. But I guess that's what we do these days. Thanks a lot Marvel....
 
Much like the prequels, the ST needs more development than it got. Hopefully more installments with the characters will bring some rehabilitation to those films the way the clone wars did for the prequels.
No amount of backfill fixes the movies. Plain and simple. They screwed up with the way the did it by not filling in the blanks so to speak. They were done assuming what they gave at that time was good and enough and it wasn't. Using stuff like the clone wars or possibly the mandalorian stuff to fill in those blanks doesn't do anything to improve the movies as they were made. It's simply telling more stories and trying to fix the narrative they were going for.

If you have to watch the clone wars for PT to be good for you, or all the mando stuff plus whatever else they fill in that gap with to make the ST good for you, then they failed at their jobs and nothing fixes that.

Now...that sounds like i hate everything not OT and that isn't the true at all. There some bad and some good in the PT and ST...those levels vary per person, just stating that other shows can't fix what came before. It's like building a crappy bridge across a canyon. If you do a terrible job and someone else comes along an fixes it later on, you still did a terrible job and your bridge sucked. If someone tries driving across your version, they plummet to their deaths in fiery crash. :)

I think I could make it to at least the title card: “A Long Time Ago…In A Galaxy Far, Far Away…”

I would squirm in my seat a bit when the music starts and the title hits the screen: Star Wars…

But, once the main crawl starts with: “Jedi Master Rey SKYWALKER has something, something, something…”. I’ll throw up a bit in my mouth and have to exit the theater.

I can't wait to see this new Rey movie by a documentary filmmaker that's never made a feature film before. I also can't wait to see Rian Johnson's long announced SW trilogy. Or Patty Jenkins's Rogue Squadron. Or Kevin Feige's SW movie. Or Damon Lindelof's. Or Taika Waititi's. Or the other SW feature film projects that Lucasfilm announced throughout the years but got cancelled.

 
I know one way this can salvage everything:

Rey wakes up in her hovel/ former star destroyer on Jakku, from a horrific nightmare. She quickly discovers that Finn, Poe and the rest were a nightmare induced by bad instant bread, and none of it ever happened.

The rest of the movie is a good writer actually giving her a decent, non-woke story that pulls the actual Finn and Poe into it, and the OT characters are still in one piece.
