      I read ANH, my brain recognized ANH, but it said, "f-ck it" and still processed it as TFA.

        I didn't care for TFA at all. In fact the best part of the movie was the ending. I will say in its defense that it recaptured the allure and charm of IV-VI that was completely lost in I-III, I liked many of the characters and I have a feeling it will setup VIII really well. But on its own it's meh at best.

          I don't get TFW hate. I loved it.

            I dont hate it...I just feel if it had come out instead of the prequels it wouldnt be as beloved. (not by you but many others including myself) Put it this way, I have seen the original trilogy hundreds of times, the prequels a few times (well mostly just #3 the other 2 are unwatchable) and The Force Awakens once. I have literally never felt the need to watch it again. It hit the right notes, but was nothing special outside of seeing a Star Wars film in the theater. (which is an experience)

            Speaking of Star Wars...with 3 weeks or so left in filming the directors of the Han Solo film left the project. You dont see that very often...

As the creator of the experiment puts it: everything is free, except the footage. WE own that. The degeneration that follows is horrifying. No "reality" tv at this time. The creators just let things happen, as in TSPI.
              These results are eerily similar to the "mouse utopia" experiments of the 1950s.

              Scientists introduced 2 pairs of breeding mice into an environment in which there were no predators, and they were provided with all the food and water they needed, so that they didn't even have to forage to find food. At first, the mouse population grew just fine, but after a time, they had a complete breakdown in society, young males became more concerned with grooming than mating, female fertility plummeted, and eventually they all died off.

                I heard that. That's odd but there's a lot of weird stuff going on with these "universe" movies. So many universes now and a lot of politics everywhere.

                I've watched it 2 or 3 times. There are certain scenes in it that are so good I continue to enjoy them over and over again.

                  I read that they were fired from the production, not that they voluntarily left. Nothing I read went into it too deeply, only that they weren't making their bosses very happy.

                    It doesnt matter whether they left or were fired...switching directors before the end of principle photography is a very risky proposition. They already have 2 sets of reshoots planned because of it. (well one is because of it one was planned) Han Solo is going to be a very expensive production and the post production is going to be intense. I would not be surprised if it gets delayed. (and it probably should)

                    As for ticking off Disney...it isnt exactly a secret that Disney can be kind of a pain in the butt to deal with.

                    And yeah these big universe deals are becoming a quagmire. I mean Universal is taking a bath on their "Dark Universe" no one wanted and Pirates Transformers looks to be dying out too. (even with international numbers it looks like TF is going to underperform) Sony is already planning like 5 Spiderman spinoffs (will Iron Man be in all of them too?) and of course Disney is milking Star Wars for everything they have and so on and so on. Standalone films re going to become increasingly rare. Not a smart move imho.

                      The stand alone films will be relegated to the studios' smaller production arms, the traditional art-house studios that they acquired however many years prior.

                      I don't even know what the "Dark Universe" is. Is that a reference to DC and its style?

                        No. Universal owns the rights to all the old monster movies. Frankenstein, The Mummy, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Dracula, etc. They now started a universe out of it. Go figure. The Tom Cruise movie is the first in the Universe of films to be created.

                        Marvel did this right. Now everyone jumps in the middle. And now because of Marvel even Marvel is jumping the shark.

                          DC is Warner Brothers not Universal. The "Dark Universe" was what they called all the monster reboots they had coming out. The Mummy was supposed to kick it off but it crapped the bed. They had Bardem playing Frankenstein, Depp playing the Invisible Man and so on. It is the second time they tried to do this and it just fails miserably.

                            It is just not a compelling story. It's been told a million times. And I don't get how they thought somehow making a universe of it would be compelling either. It's just dumb.

                              They see the $11B that marvel has made and they want a piece of the pie. Simple as that. Franchise movies are seen as a free ATM. Unfortunately the bubble is bursting if you don't do it right.

                                I get that, but the MU is compelling because for the first time we can do comic book movies in live action and have them cross over. The characters are also very compelling for the most part. There is an appeal to every demographic.

                                Wolfman, Invisibleman, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy... There isn't a compelling character in there. Too generic, too many men. etc.
