My eyes rolled so hard at this headline my optic nerves exploded.
So I didn't read the article. Sorry. Sploded optic nerves.

Well that is a lot of reactions, this really does not seem odd or bad to me. It may be overdoing it but this basically how the avengers movieverse works but in reveres. Their was no official mention of using old characters and if they do that would be lame. Otherwise its big movie with everybody, smaller movies looking at the story of the players in the big movie rinse repeat.
Does anyone care about backstories for existing characters? I know I don't. Give me something new.
That's a damning shame. I was looking forward to movies that have nothing to do with Jedi, the New Republic, Luke Skywalker, etc.
I wouldn't mind one for Yoda actually, if done right (and lets face it, Disney films lately haven't exactly been bad) i think it could be pretty awesome, Maybe one for Qui-Gon Gin (anything to see Liam Neeson play that role again!)
A Palpatine one could be epic, seeing his rise to power, Same with Mace Windu, seeing how he became Jedi master would actually be pretty cool, and why he doesn't trust so easily.
Anyway, no problem with this, are they Milking it? Maybe. But if done right, like many of there films recently, then i look forward to watching them.

Do we really need more origins for characters? Seriously? Or do they just want to make more money? (Stupid question, I know...)
I'm okay with this. But for your own sakes tread lightly.
The biggest failing in most origin stories is confusing "Situation A caused known element B" with "Situation A only happend because of the inevitability of element B."
In other words don't give us another story where the only motivations a character has is to get them to their starting points in the established story.
"Darth Vader is evil so...um...bad dreams and infanticide. Done! "

Well that's all well and good for you, but I'm fucking terrified. Star Wars was my gateway into sci-fi and fantasy, so it holds a dear place in my heart. Meanwhile, Disney, because of their fanatical devotion to their "family-friendly" image, love of milking franchises (Pirates of the Caribbean), and their seeming disregard of the EU (so far) leaves me worried about the future of Star Wars.
OT: Really, X-Men: Wolverine styled origin movies? What did we do to deserve [i/]this[/i] punishment?

That would require them to stop outsourcing all the work abroad to unskilled workers in Asia though.Easton Dark said:
Doesn't sound profitable? Doesn't sound Disney.
According to the codex aspergers, the Millenium Falcon was built by underpaid Bothans.Redlin5 said:
There would be no greater qualified workforce to build a replica than unskilled asians.
The Millenium Falcon is almost the right shape for a toilet seat, you could pretend you are doing the Kessel run in less than twelve poosecs.Redlin5 said:
Make whatever movies you want, Disney. Fuck it. I'm done caring. As far as I'm concerned, Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy will always and forever be the true sequels to the original trilogy. Whatever the movies end up being, to me, they'll just be some weird, alternate universe... just like the Prequels.
Disney just wants another series of films like the Marvel Multiverse they're profiting so much from. Star Wars fans will hate them, people will make fun of the Star Wars fans for being the admittedly touchy and angry people that we are, and Disney will be laughing all the way to the bank. I'm already over it and it hasn't even happened yet.

Screw those guys...whoever they are. They need to make a Jar Jar Binks movie. He at least got some screen time so we would care about where he came from. It could be a downward spiral of lies, alcohol, and clumsiness that culminate in his entire race abandoning him to die of privation in the parched wastes of the overworld. But cruel, cruel fate had another destiny in mind for him. And us.james.sponge said:We need Greedo origin story... and Wedge's as well
Is it just me (of course not, but it's a figure of speech) that thinks that either the movies will be good and I will enjoy watching them or they will be bad and I won't watch them? I get that you can get disappointed when they say they are going to do a new X and it turns out it's bad but it's not like you have to see it.
