In the Disney Wars celebration over in UK Disney announced the return of Daisy Ridley as Rey Palpatine.
Do these idiots never learn?

I heard they are going to pair her up with Groogu to make her more marketable.
This may backfire.
While i enjoyed Andor, it felt like it wasnt really star wars. Maybe thats why i enjoyed it so much. Its the only recent star wars product i liked, and it seems like this trend will go on in the future.
I like Daisy Ridley, but the only way to continue Rey's story is for the new movie to replace Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker.

Which you know they won't do.
I feel sorry for her, her career was really hurt by the Disney Wars trilogy, I don't blame her for taking the big check from the rat.
I hope Daisy got paid up front, because the chances of this movie actually getting made don't seem very good to me.

LOL, it's the rat, they don't pay upfront, they barely pay after you deliver.

And leave the rotten stump?
The entire sequel trilogy should join the holiday special in the bin of bad star wars ideas.
Kathleen Kennedy just needs to be removed from LucasFilm by now....

If you get rid of Force Awakens, you get rid of Rey, which defeats the purpose of giving Rey her own movie.

Seriously, If I were to even desire more sequel era media, which I don't, I'd say scrap everything and start over. Force Awakens was the source of the rot that infested Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker. They can even keep Rey and Finn and Poe and all that, just... the stories they told were incomprehensible garbage.
*Edit* Prequel/sequel

i don't think it's salvageable at this time. i'd rather they looked at The Old Republic for possible new Star Wars content than tried to fix the mess with Force Awakens and later sequels, tbh.
Poor John Boyega, he really drew the short end of the stick.
Give it time. Eventually they'll reboot it.

Don't you worry, they would ruin those movies/shows too.

Lots of people thought he was going to become a Jedi, but no, had to push him down to push up Rose.

i dunno. it's rumored that they may finally be getting rid of that Kathleen Kennedy dipshit. maybe Favreau and/or Filoni could pull something off when left to do what they really want.
The rumor I heard was that Kathleen Kennedy was going to get her big sendoff at Star Wars Celebration, but that doesn't seem to have happened.
So, how many Star Wars movies have they announced since the end of the sequel trilogy, and how many have made it into production?
Announced:
- Phil Lord and Chris Miller Han Solo movie
- Colin Trevorrow movie "Duel of the Fates"
- David Benioff and D.B. Weiss (Game of Thrones creators) Star Wars movie
- Josh Trank/James Mangold Boba Fett movie
- Obi-Wan movie/trilogy, eventually became the Kenobi streaming series
- Rian Johnson movie trilogy
- Patty Jenkins Rogue Squadron movie
- Tiaka Waititi Star Wars movie
Actually Filmed and Released:
(crickets)
I would say that the odds are against any of this week's announced movies actually getting made.
Dave Filoni's paid his dues, but the movie they are announcing would seem to be the end of the streaming series that he has worked on with Jon Favreau.

Dude, Bob Iger is back in control, everything woke was green lighted under his reign. What's amazing (and sad) is that Disney, WB, BBC managed to do what decades couldn't, make me stop caring about their IPs.
Right now I'm laughing and wishing they go ahead full steam with all that was announced and even the rumor that Rey is pregnant (without a man in sight) because they need to subvert Anakin being the chosen one.

I stopped caring about the Star Wars IP with the second prequel. I didn't bother seeing Episode III until I saw it on a plane many years later.
That said, there have been some Star Wars releases I still enjoyed since then. I liked the Rogue One movie. The Mandalorian along with the Obi-Wan and Boba Fett series are pretty good. For me, they are outshone by the Andor series, which I am loving so far - though I'm still in the middle of it.

I hated the prequels, something Disney managed to change too, they are 1 Billion times better than Disney Wars.
The Mandalborian, Obi-Wan and Boba Fett. Two of those humiliated an OT character and the first one just did the same with it's titular (male) character.
It's clear I'm no longer the target audience, that's fine, it's their IP and they can do whatever with it. In exchange I get to keep my money in my wallet.

That rumor has been perpetuated for forever by clickbait dipshits, and number two: what makes you think Feloni & favraux don't support the woke regime? I'm almost certain for a fact Feloni does.
His OC donut has been elevated from dead to having her own dedicated series. He controls the cannon now. He can have her be as good as Luke, and have her be the true Jedi inheritor even as luke ends up a failure and then dead.
"They are totally fighting from the inside!" is lies people tell themselves as their desire to be part of the buzz and consume content overwhelms the reality that they are giving money to people that spit on them and everything they believe in.

well, maybe i'm just too big of a Star Wars fan, hoping against hope that something could still be done to save it. i'm not looking forward to anything really, no, but... who knows.

If your a fan and not an addict, hold yourself and the franchise to higher standards. Don't just jump the second they throw a bone. Don't engage with it at all until it's being made by people who don't view you with contempt.

oh, trust me, i'm not jumping at anything - because i can't. there's no way for me to pay Disney for any of their stuff atm, so i go yarrrr on them using <forbidden technologies> anyway :P

Piracy promotes sales. The EU did massive research for it for videogames and it was buried because it told information people didn't want to hear. You're not a paying customer, but you act as a hype man and a person in the loop. They would rather you hate Star Wars then just not care what they do with it.

That study only found a neutral outcome of piracy for video games. In other forms of media, such as movies and music, they found that piracy resulted in a significant reduction of paying customers.

The Prequels had an interesting and coherent story to tell. The problem was that, back then, a story was
the minimum that audiences expected. We paid for such stories to be told well - and George Lucas stumbled badly in this.
Today it is a miracle if we get something that goes from point A to point B. I actually waited two years wondering how the story of Rey and Luke was going to continue. When I saw Luke toss away the lightsaber (something that isn't even in emotional continuity with the end of TFA) I knew that Star Wars was doomed (the best comment on TLJ came from my girlfriend: "I'm not sure that they sent out the right version of the movie...")

She seems hellbent on destroying the franchise any way possible.
What is it with women getting ahold of stuff and just ruining it. Sci-Fi Channel, D&D, and on and on.
I think the first new SW movie had potential. I was actually hoping that Fin would turn out to be a potential Jedi.
But nooooo. China hates them some niggers so of course not. Disney execs must get friction burns licking China's jackboots so hard.

I found it mostly boring, with a few glimmers of potential. But when they bumped off Han for cheap drama, and dumped his ass down a reactor shaft, I knew the sequels were headed in a bad direction.

Han's death didn't bother me because I figured that it was the price to pay to get Harrison Ford on board. The Force Awakens came across very much as 'cotton candy'--fun but not very substantial. I figured 'OK, Disney needed to do something familiar to show people they can do Star Wars and erase the taste of the Prequels; let's see if there's something more interesting going forward. There's some stuff there that could turn out well, and some stuff that could go really wrong.' But then I started picking up on the cynical undercurrents in the spinoff material and even some deleted scenes and novelization elements of TFA,
Rogue One left me strangely cold, and
The Last Jedi pretty much convinced me that I'm not a Star Wars fan as presently defined. :)
I've been hearing Kathleen Kennedy is gone since The Last Jedi was released in 2017. So we're 6 years on waiting for KkK's pink slip.
It's obvious that no amount of losing money or alienating fans will stop them.

Yeah. There's a ton of commenters on youtube stirring shit up just for clicks. They'll repeat the most insubstantial rumors.
Mostly you can tell them by the video preview image has character with ridiculously exaggerated eyes. Dunno why that became a thing, but It makes it easier to filter out junk commentary.
