I'll be cautiously optimistic. Daisy Ridley deserves a second shot at Rey and hopefully Disney learned something from their mistakes in episodes 7-9.

Rumor has it the new movie will feature a large moon-sized planet-destroying space station. There will also be a desert planet with a young naive yet promising force user. Someone will wield a lightsaber with a design we haven’t seen before. Space bombers will have to fly “over” an enemy ship in space in order to “drop” bombs on it. One of the new creatures will have eyes that look like anuses, or a mouth that looks like a pussy. The main antagonist will be annoying and act like a man-child. There will be doubt that someone can “train up” in time to fight a bad guy. Someone will survive the vacuum of space. A new force trick will be shown. Someone’s face will be replaced by AI. A previously unseen type of droid sidekick will be unveiled. A possession belonging to someone from the original trilogy will be mentioned and displayed with reverence. Something that has never needed explaining will be explained. Something that has long needed an explanation will be glossed over in a confusing way. An interesting new character will have nearly all of their scenes cut. The emperor will return.

I’m not sure optimistic is the right word exactly… maybe hopeful. Sadly I don’t really think it’s gonna be great but I hope it is. 100% agree about Ridley. I know Boyega burned some bridges but I would otherwise put him in the same category.

I'd say more that disney burned the bridges and Boyega brought them to light. The entire cast was done dirty by those movies and he was the only one with the backbone to say something.

I love the quote though. "They ain't gonna Disney+ my ass"

That’s true. I respect his integrity, even if the industry doesn’t. It must be the most depressing thing to be a huge fan of something and then be part of it in the most disappointing way.

Going for episode 10 rather than the prequel approach of spamming the market with adjacent media feels like they haven’t learned from their mistake
