I fucking loved KotOR. Seeing Benioff and Weiss putting them on the bigger screen would be epic if done correctly.

But I'm guessing they'll go with something that's closer to the MMORPG storyline instead of the adventures of the Ebon Hawk.

Solid characters, well written stories; all you have to do is properly cast and the product will sell itself.

The sequels cover post-ROTJ, the anthologies cover post-ROTS so the only era that makes sense is KOTOR or possibly a young Yoda.

The latter doesn’t feel like the right move for these particular show runners.

The one thing that post-George Lucas Lucasfilm has done perfectly, so far anyway, is casting.

thats Miguel Sapochnik’s work not D&D. I’d love to see him direct a Star Wars movie.
[Reply]

That would be fucking amazing.
[Reply]

No argument from me. But they are vastly different products.
[Reply]

I'm well aware. Hopefully they learned something watching him direct that masterpiece.

When I first watched the movie I wasn't impressed. It seemed kind of 'off' and I disliked some of the story. Now that I have had time to reflect...The Last Jedi fucking sucked. It was like waiting two years for a delicious chocolate cake to bake only to find a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the oven when you opened it. Fuck you guys.

More fallout from The Last Jedi's divisiveness and underperforming box office results

Hasbro posts surprise revenue drop as Star Wars toys fail to shine

Toymaker Hasbro Inc reported a surprise fall in quarterly revenue on Wednesday due to a decline in sales of its toys based on the Star Wars franchise and the lingering impact of the bankruptcy of retailer Toys 'R' Us.

The company's shares fell 3.2 percent to $90.94 before the bell. The toy industry was jolted by the retailer's collapse last October, forcing Hasbro, rival Mattel and other toy makers to find other outlets for sales during the all-important holiday season. However, 2017 was the worst year for movie ticket sales since 1992, according to Box Office Mojo, as moviegoers lost interest in sequels, in turn affecting the market for toys based on movie characters like Iron Man and Luke Skywalker.

"Our Partner Brands estimate of +8% could be too high as Stars Wars could have been below expectations," D.A. Davidson analyst Linda Weiser wrote in a pre-earnings note.

But hey, Hammock Parties will be here shortly to tell us that Disney and Hasbro are extremely happy with the results of The Last Jedi.

Very true, the production, direction, universe.. pretty much everything that didn't have to do with their writing prowess directly is why Game of Thrones blew up pop culture, they were just smart enough to be the ones to kick the ball.

That said, I'm more hopeful about their trilogy than the one from guy who did ****ing Looper and the garbage that was The Last Jedi :-)

Still haven't seen it.

I disagree with that. GRRM punched his own dragon sized holes into his story after Swords (this is when the show began to be boom or bust as well).

The holes have put GRRM in such a corner that he's now two years late on his last deadline.

Most if not all of the collectors fucking HATE Hasbro. Low toy sales? No shock.
[Reply]

Come on, dude. This wasn’t about collectors, it was about children.

:-) It's fun to give it a spin!
