The saddest thing is that 1 and 3 would've keen the franchise healthy and making money. When the toys of the protagonist aren't selling, you must admit you fucked it and offer heads to the angry mob to buy some good will.

Honestly, I support adding more women and minorities. But I agree with the nerds otherwise.

I was gonna say, I've only heard good things about the Thrawn books.

2 with a smattering of 1 and 3 for localization purposes, as long as budget and graft allows.

They are very... 90s. I enjoyed them when I was a young teenager, but my recent revisit let me see that they're... uneven. They're still good, but not flawless.

The foundations were RIGHT THERE in Episode 7-8.

Make Finn the hero:
A (black) child soldier who gains a conscience, picks up a lightsaber, and learns how to use the Force while he slowly leads the New Republic (NOT the "Rebellion"!) back from the brink.

Rey is the wild-card: a conflicted young woman who is also force-sensitive but can't control her anger.
Then she meets Ben (our new "Darth Vader"), tries to resist him, but in Episode 8 they kill Snook and join together to bring back the New Empire.

Now Episode 9 can be about Finn trying to bring Rey back to the Light. IDK, maybe even force another romance or 2 in there (Rose with some better lines & more interaction could've worked).

But nope, Disney fucked it all up & now their best bets are TV shows.

Or, they could have used Lucas' original treatments for 7-9. I mean, he gave them a golden goose and it's feed and they managed to poison it anyway.

We're at the point where it really doesnt have to be japan for the gacha disease to infect any game targeting the mobile market

There's actually a Star Wars gacha game already.

Honestly, I just want more Star Wars anime.

And gacha games would definitely be better than the sequels. For god’s sakes, it’d probably make people cry! I mean, just look at Genshin Impact and the Fate series, for God’s sakes!
