When I was young, Star Wars was an exciting movie. People were in love with the characters, people wanted more movies, and the prequel trilogy came out, and they stunk. And I thought that was the end, except George Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney. And if you thought that the prequel films were bad, that was only because you hadn't seen the insanity that would be produced by Disney.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.
That exactly sums up what Lucasfilm is doing to the Star Wars movie franchise under Disney.
They are taking one of the most unlikable characters in the history of movies, and making another movie about her. (The most unlikable character? That honor goes to Captain Marvel, also a disaster produced by Disney.)
Imagine for a moment you're the head of major movie studio that's still reeling from a disastrously mismanaged trilogy of movies, whose final entry made less than half as much as the first film, and whose overwhelming failure relegated a once massively powerful and lucrative franchise into a bunch of irrelevant TV shows on a faltering streaming service. A trilogy built around one of the blandest, most uninteresting, and completely overpowered wish-fulfillment non-characters in cinematic history.
Instead of recognizing that the trilogy in question was a failure, and moving on, Kathleen Kennedy, the head of Lucas Film, has decided to double down, and release ANOTHER movie, or set of movies, based on this unlikable character. Why? Because, as The Drinker points out, Rey Palpatine is the self-insert of K. Kennedy into the Star Wars universe. Watch the 8 minute video below for an explanation of that, and everything else.
As Drinker asks... How stupid are these people? Well plenty, but they're more arrogant than stupid, and they are incredibly stupid.
This is The Critical Drinker's video Star Wars - Somehow... Rey Palpatine Returned. Spend 8 minutes basking in the insanity that manages Lucas film, and weep for what the Star Wars franchise was, and could have been were it not for the sheer fucking hubris of Kathleen Kennedy, and the directors hired by Disney.
