You know, I know a lot of people here don't particularly care for the new movies, but you've got to admit this, they at least understand that they take place out in the stars and not hanging around micro-organisms: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018...n-for-star-wars-7-through-9-and-it-was-awful/
I mean, what? Like, I might have been fine with a stand-alone film (like Rogue One or Solo) exploring this, but the actual 7-9 would have been this? And hey, if people want to be nit-picky and argue that hyperspeed ramming completely changes the ramifications of battle then I would hope they would hold the same standards to this as I'm pretty sure SHRINKING TECHNOLOGY would massively change a ton in the verse (now I realize George didn't say that's what would be done, but he makes it clear the trilogy would focus on these creatures so shrinking technology makes more sense than tons of scenes where Luke, Leia, and Han stare into microscopes).
You know, I thought George might have at least done a better job with 7-9 than he did the prequels because he did start to correct a few mistakes with each consecutive prequel. Now I wonder if the prequels was actually him being somewhat restrained due to not being able to go too off the stray path since it's focused on characters whose stories have to reach a certain point which only gives so much wiggle room in the narrative. Once he was off those restraints, it looks like anything would go regardless if it felt like natural story progression in the slightest or even made sense for the franchise (again, STAR Wars. Like, make a new new series Lucas if you want several films about micro-organisms). Like, I'm sure a few people will be like, "oh, but it's so different!" Yeah, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3's story being about the Guardians dropping all the epic space adventures and they spend the whole movie joining a basketball team to win the championship would certainly be different for the series but I would still think it's a stupid direction for a series like that.
