      Completely agree -- prequels were bad idea even apart from poor execution. Ideally, Star Wars should exfoliate away from past to new storieshttps://twitter.com/saladinahmed/status/813227909146091521 …

      while the prequel sucked, their main problem isn't that they sucked, it's that they were a bad idea https://twitter.com/adamserwer/status/813136339101171712 …

      I mean, you have an entire colorful, densely populated space opera galaxy. Why stay with the Skywalker family? Tell other stories.

          I think this is why the clone wars cartoon worked fairly well. They had space to breathe.

          This is why Rey being a Skywalker would be the worst choice for the new trilogy.

          Both can be true, don't at all think there's anything inherently wrong with telling the prequel story if it was well done.

          It took Coppola half a movie to tell rise of Vito Corleone. His friend Lucas took three movies for Vader.

          The Knights of the Old Republic comics were excellent. (So was the first game; small overlap between the two.)

          At the time the prequels were made, Lucas still owned the franchise. His plan was a total of 9 films about those characters.

          just hard to imagine other stories thriving when you know there is a bigger one. Think Matrix sub-plot without Neo.

          How about a film set entirely on planet of the Wookies?
