I don't want Star Wars to EVER go back in a trilogy again. They'll do it at some point to flesh out the universe, wouldn't mind going back a few thousand years so they can flesh out the history of star wars a little bit since we know next to nothing about anything before the prequel era.

Who cares about before the prequel trilogy? Don't say you. You don't count. Neither does anyone who says they care about before the prequel trilogy.

They're bad movies but people still love them. Either way wasn't talking about the prequels was talking KOTOR, go play these. http://store.steampowered.com/app/32370/STAR_WARS__Knights_of_the_Old_Republic/ http://store.steampowered.com/app/208580/STAR_WARS_Knights_of_the_Old_Republic_II__The_Sith_Lords/ and tell me after that you don't want a movie about the old era of star wars.

I have both of them plus an original Xbox solely to play those games. I play through the first one probably once every five years. Second one is meh, but the problem with those is... I know the twist. And anything that happens 1,000 years ago is just going to feel unimportant considering we know what happens 1,000 years later. It's why I hate war movies. I know who wins.

There have been interesting movies about ancient Rome, and interesting movies about World War II. They have nothing to do with each other but were in the same area in a much different time period.

I can understand why you'd be disappointed. I just think long term this helps SW, not hurts it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like Luke defeated the dark side forever nor will Rey. And I would definitely say the dark side during the old republic days are when they were at their strongest. It's like seeing the enemy in their prime and sooo many interesting characters. Way more interesting than Sidious. Revan is probably the most popular Star Wars character ever that's never been in a movie or TV. Sidious might be the strongest ever (quite arguable though) but there is way more interesting Sith Lords to explore in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A trilogy with multiple Sith trying to wrestle power from one another while also fighting the Jedi would be a new twist. Far more interesting than the Jedi focused on just one Master and apprentice. The politics weaved into those storylines have the potential to be awesome playing out on the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I think people worried about canon are whiners. Why is it so hard to just accept the 8 movies as the only official canon. Also, they're not adapting Knights of the Old Republic. The twist would be spoiled before they filmed the first scene. What we should really be hoping for is a new Knights of the Old Republic game.
