ST If you feel jaded, how can IX make you fall in love with Star Wars again?

Saw it listed on Netflix not too long ago and decided to watch it out of curiosity. It had it's moments but overall, I found it to be a rather forgettable entry in an already dying franchise.

 

It's definitely the second best Disney SW Movie after Rogue One and it is a lot of fun.

 

The Sequels have done a lot of damage to my love for Star Wars

I doubt that a movie of two hours with characters that i dont care me makes me fall in love with Star Wars again

If they make a trilogy of the Old Republic like the KOTOR games maybe I would like Star Wars again
But since Disney owns the saga I do not have any illusions

 

It's unfair to demand one movie fix everything, but I'll feel more confident in Disney-LFL's leadership if some quality time and thought is put into Star Wars lore and world building.

If you think about it, many of us who are unhappy with TLJ don't really have a problem with subversion in general. I just think TLJ was the wrong place and time for it -- why is Luke Skywalker a character who needs subversion and deconstruction? He was already subversive and deconstructed the typical violent action hero in Episode 6. Why subvert that? If any character in Star Wars needed subversion and deconstruction, it was Han Solo. The male scoundrel archetype has all sorts of distasteful aspects to it; that's the kind of thing you deconstruct, not a hero who uses love to change people's hearts.

So what Episode 9 needs is more world building, in regards to the Force, Force users, and the possibilities of successful democracy.

Sure, "fixing" Luke would be nice, but I think this will take a number of books and a TV show. Making him some kind of amazing Jedi in Episode 9 just feels contrived, mostly due to lack of time and context.

 

IX needs to market like a well polished politician. Give hints of what they think most people want. More Luke, KOR, more answers to Rey and Kylo, Not saying these are those things people want, but just giving examples. Tempt people into "change" just like a politician does. They have to sell it as THE movie fans and audiences want. And, to keep that jaded feeling from coming back immediately, actually DELIVER (unlike the said politicians).

 

A key to doing this type of marketing might well involve them producing content that does not divide the fan base. Knowing that some people are really banking on Luke having a strong role yet also knowing many want this to be about Rey and Kylo is a challenge indeed. Then there is Leia, I think they need to be careful to include something for everyone here.
