| Soundwave said: I know people hate on Disney, but honestly by and large they deliver quality films. Like none of the Marvel movies they've made has been pure crap, it's all fairly well done, sure some are better than others. The EU kinda had to go otherwise Abrams and the new writers of this trilogy would have about 1039393 different post-ROTJ elements to have to work into the film. Like is Mara Jade going to be mentioned? Is she Rey's mom? Blah blah blah blah. It was simply easier just to wipe the slate clean. There's a lot of stupid shit in the EU anyway, I like the Zahn stuff and a few other things but not much else. |
Disney do great things with Disney animated films, both Pixar or not. Although, I am becoming disillusioned with their Marvel work after this weird push for Inhumans while mutants are set back again in comics (I dropped comics out of protest... they were crap too which didn't help :P).
It's just some basic thinking and originality is what we needed with these films and taking the fact that one of the Solo kids had turned bad pretty much straight from the EU (which I don't mind them dropping because they wanted a fresh start for future stories) is a little odd in my view.
I want them to try something new. The next film is one step in the right direction because it'll be the first one not set around Skywalkers, a film just set in the SW universe and has great potential. They could have done more with this one.
Hmm, pie.
