    There weren’t a whole lot of jedi to make a new generation of jedi after order 66

    what really fucked starwars is the people disney put in charge of it

    everyone involved with the disney stuff can’t stop inserting all their own psychosis and narcissism into it and it ruined starwars. They want the twilight and 50 shades audience, but they’re not going to get that if they work with starwars, so the audience they have hates it, rightfully so, because it’s not real starwars

    hiring actual starwars fans, who read all the books and comics and played all the games from before disney would massively improve starwars, re-canonize the EU of starwars and just make 1 to 1 recreations of the scenes from the books and comics. No real world politics crammed into it, just a fantasy sci-fi WW2 in space …because that’s what made it successful don’t try to fix what isn’t broken

    if they just did that, starwars would’ve been disney’s most profitable franchise, but they kept hiring all the worst possible people to work with that material instead

      Totally irrelevant. Force sensitivity is largely random and Jedi almost never have kids anyway.

        from what I understand, force-sensitive children were hunted down and killed once the empire took over, if they were old enough, the empire would try to make them inquisitors, where many of them would die from the training, a lot of the training was fights to the death to see which new recruits were the strongest. and of course anyone who wasn’t evil enough was killed

      Isn’t it profitable nonetheless? Not that I like it, but the Disney sequels are the top grossing movies of the franchise (if you ignore inflation).
