Should Disney REBOOT Star Wars？!？!？ - Error Code Show

WEBVTT

00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:03.379
So, obviously, Andor just ended and it's getting

00:00:03.379 --> 00:00:06.299
rave reviews and there's been some great things

00:00:06.299 --> 00:00:09.119
lately. Skeleton Clue is really, really good.

00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:12.259
Again, Andor, great. There's been some good stuff

00:00:12.259 --> 00:00:14.699
that comes out of Star Wars. But most Star Wars

00:00:14.699 --> 00:00:18.859
fans would generally agree that the sequel trilogy

00:00:18.859 --> 00:00:23.000
of 7, 8, and 9 are not, shall we say, the best

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.940
thing that has come out of Star Wars in the history

00:00:25.940 --> 00:00:31.960
of Star Wars. The question that has been posed

00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:40.060
right is If they were is there a case to be made

00:00:40.060 --> 00:00:46.759
for Disney to White this great clean say seven

00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:50.340
eight nine are no longer canon and let's start

00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:55.450
over on seven eight nine or Should they just

00:00:55.450 --> 00:00:56.950
accept that look we made this movies are not

00:00:56.950 --> 00:00:59.509
the best but they're canon It is what it is and

00:00:59.509 --> 00:01:01.630
we're just gonna make better stuff going forward.

00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:07.590
So that's the question on the table is Should

00:01:07.590 --> 00:01:12.569
Disney retcon the sequel trilogy and just erase

00:01:12.569 --> 00:01:17.730
it from our collective Star Wars canon Jay, what's

00:01:17.730 --> 00:01:27.579
your immediate gut reaction? Oh my gosh, what

00:01:27.579 --> 00:01:29.439
was this like tonight? You're just like, let's

00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.620
see how many people we can make mad. Oh my gosh.

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.079
There we go. So seven, eight, nine. We're specifically

00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.280
talking about Ray, right? We're talking about

00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:44.599
the Ray trilogy. Yeah, we'll call it that. If

00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:50.180
they could, should they wipe those from the the

00:01:50.180 --> 00:01:56.519
existence of Star Wars Canon? Oh God, I'm gonna

00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:03.920
say no Okay, I'm gonna say no So this is the

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:06.420
argument that I've had with this particular viewer

00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:15.300
many times No, they shouldn't Okay now Can we

00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:17.439
say look we're not gonna go back and rewatch

00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:19.719
a rise in a Skywalker a whole bunch of times

00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.400
No, we're not. I haven't watched it in years

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:26.650
because it's trash Force Awakens was pretty good

00:02:26.650 --> 00:02:31.330
last Jedi was what had its very good parts, right?

00:02:32.530 --> 00:02:35.310
Wasn't exactly perfectly executed in the rise

00:02:35.310 --> 00:02:42.430
of Skywalker was trash but but Trying to go back

00:02:42.430 --> 00:02:47.650
and retcon him is not the solution for Star Wars

00:02:47.650 --> 00:02:52.129
as a Genre as a is a is sorry as a franchise

00:02:53.399 --> 00:02:58.780
It just gets too complicated for them, right?

00:02:59.740 --> 00:03:01.379
One, you basically have to wipe in front of existence

00:03:01.379 --> 00:03:07.240
and you don't want to do that, right? Two, you

00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.840
confuse the crap out of the general audience,

00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.219
right? And I'm not talking about those of us

00:03:14.219 --> 00:03:17.340
deep in the fandom with our cool Star Wars hoodies,

00:03:18.060 --> 00:03:21.099
right? I'm talking about the general audience,

00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:27.960
right? I just don't think that there's a benefit

00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.560
for Disney to do so. I think the benefit would

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.039
be to move forward. Go forward in time. No more

00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.740
prequels. No more middle of the empire shit.

00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:46.819
Let's, let's... That way. Right? Or worst -case

00:03:46.819 --> 00:03:49.240
scenario do like that old Republic thing They've

00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:51.780
been planning for a long time and go so far back

00:03:51.780 --> 00:03:54.199
in time that the the current timeline doesn't

00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:58.300
matter That's I mean, that's actually what I

00:03:58.300 --> 00:04:09.340
want to see personally Absolutely 100 % I Will

00:04:09.340 --> 00:04:11.580
ask you this question because this has been posted

00:04:11.580 --> 00:04:14.610
now opposed a different way in the chat Do you

00:04:14.610 --> 00:04:17.990
reboot the so and I will use Harry Potter as

00:04:17.990 --> 00:04:22.670
our example, right? So we made the Harry Potter

00:04:22.670 --> 00:04:28.389
movies, right they exist Warner Brothers has

00:04:28.389 --> 00:04:34.029
opted to start over Right. We're rebooting it

00:04:34.029 --> 00:04:38.050
completely We're gonna start it again book one

00:04:38.050 --> 00:04:40.290
as a TV show this time, but we're starting it

00:04:40.290 --> 00:04:44.970
again Total 100 % reboot, recast everything.

00:04:45.529 --> 00:04:48.269
They're doing that right now. Time will tell

00:04:48.269 --> 00:04:51.670
us whether it be successful. Do you think Disney

00:04:51.670 --> 00:04:56.069
should do the same thing with Star Wars? I think

00:04:56.069 --> 00:05:00.350
Harry Potter is different. I think. Like to its

00:05:00.350 --> 00:05:04.629
core, it's very different. And I say that because

00:05:04.629 --> 00:05:08.990
one, you're going from a movie to now a TV series.

00:05:09.069 --> 00:05:12.449
You're not trying to like redo. The movie trying

00:05:12.449 --> 00:05:18.129
to like make them not canon. Also, like the the

00:05:18.129 --> 00:05:20.870
thing about like if you were just going to wipe

00:05:20.870 --> 00:05:26.589
away Ray's storyline, I think you might take

00:05:26.589 --> 00:05:30.529
away like a very powerful role model for little

00:05:30.529 --> 00:05:32.709
girls. I don't really know. I don't have children.

00:05:32.709 --> 00:05:36.389
I do. Out there. But I could imagine like little

00:05:36.389 --> 00:05:38.370
girls are looking up to Ray like, wow, she's

00:05:38.370 --> 00:05:41.220
so cool. And I don't want to take that away from

00:05:41.220 --> 00:05:44.939
anyone. Harry Potter, though. Harry Potter is.

00:05:45.699 --> 00:05:49.959
Different because they are, from my understanding,

00:05:50.300 --> 00:05:52.860
the TV series that they're making, they're trying

00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:57.560
to make it as accurate to the books as possible,

00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.319
which the movies cut out a lot. They had to.

00:06:01.660 --> 00:06:05.600
Yeah, there is so much stuff going on. 100%.

00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.379
So I feel like this is like two different arguments

00:06:08.379 --> 00:06:11.110
here. Because now you're going back and you're

00:06:11.110 --> 00:06:15.209
making something that's very. True to the books

00:06:15.209 --> 00:06:19.009
and with Star Wars, you don't really have. I

00:06:19.009 --> 00:06:22.329
don't know, you don't really have that. So I

00:06:22.329 --> 00:06:27.930
mean, they do have a ton of books, but. The not

00:06:27.930 --> 00:06:30.189
not they weren't originally a series of books

00:06:30.189 --> 00:06:32.569
that you're adapting off of. This was an original

00:06:32.569 --> 00:06:37.410
series. I'm going to say. If you were going to

00:06:37.410 --> 00:06:41.750
do something like reboot Star Wars, you need

00:06:41.750 --> 00:06:45.389
like a 25 year gap. Right. You would basically

00:06:45.389 --> 00:06:49.310
have to stop making Star Wars content for 25

00:06:49.310 --> 00:06:54.129
years and then start over. Right. I guess the

00:06:54.129 --> 00:06:57.089
only way it would work. Right. And it may not

00:06:57.089 --> 00:07:01.589
even work then. Right. I'm saying I don't think

00:07:01.589 --> 00:07:04.350
you can redo Star Wars without a significant

00:07:04.350 --> 00:07:07.740
gap between we have ended this we have started

00:07:07.740 --> 00:07:10.620
it over right again because you're going to confuse

00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:15.540
the crap out of the general audience right i

00:07:15.540 --> 00:07:18.639
also don't think that you can recapture the magic

00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:22.600
of the original trilogy four five and six right

00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:30.579
those things were about as good as you can get

00:07:30.579 --> 00:07:37.009
right I don't know how you and this is actually

00:07:37.009 --> 00:07:39.829
the the uphill battle that I think the Harry

00:07:39.829 --> 00:07:44.790
Potter series has. And I'll explain when they

00:07:44.790 --> 00:07:47.329
casted the Harry Potter movies, the original

00:07:47.329 --> 00:07:52.009
ones, right? They struck gold with Harry, Ron

00:07:52.009 --> 00:07:55.750
and Hermione. OK, Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint,

00:07:55.990 --> 00:08:01.910
Emma Watson, that crew had a chemistry. and a

00:08:01.910 --> 00:08:04.790
style and a way that they work together in those

00:08:04.790 --> 00:08:10.089
films. That is going to be exceedingly difficult

00:08:10.089 --> 00:08:14.089
for Warner Brothers to recreate in the television

00:08:14.089 --> 00:08:16.750
show. And I think if anything is going to kill

00:08:16.750 --> 00:08:20.029
that TV show, it's going to be that it's going

00:08:20.029 --> 00:08:22.509
to be they just can't. You caught lightning in

00:08:22.509 --> 00:08:26.189
a bottle with Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson and

00:08:26.189 --> 00:08:28.149
Rupert Grint, and you just can't do it again.

00:08:28.569 --> 00:08:31.129
And I think the same concept can be said of Star

00:08:31.129 --> 00:08:33.990
Wars. You got lightning in a bottle with Mark

00:08:33.990 --> 00:08:37.090
Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford. And the

00:08:37.090 --> 00:08:38.649
way that they played those characters through

00:08:38.649 --> 00:08:42.649
those three movies, that I don't think you'll

00:08:42.649 --> 00:08:52.690
get again. I just don't know how you do it. What

00:08:52.690 --> 00:09:06.549
do you think? I think it's possible. But like

00:09:06.549 --> 00:09:09.110
you're going to have to do a lot of work, like

00:09:09.110 --> 00:09:12.070
a lot, a lot of work. And I think I remember

00:09:12.070 --> 00:09:16.710
kind of a documentary about Harry Potter. And

00:09:16.710 --> 00:09:19.529
I believe Daniel Radcliffe was the last person

00:09:19.529 --> 00:09:24.009
to get cast because they were going through everyone

00:09:24.009 --> 00:09:28.139
and they were like, no, no, no, no. I think,

00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:30.559
and I could be really wrong here. Someone fact

00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.960
check me, but like, I think they already had

00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.419
Ron and Hermione and they had like, they introduced

00:09:37.419 --> 00:09:39.580
them to each other and they're like, okay, like

00:09:39.580 --> 00:09:43.279
they seem to kind of get along. Um, and they

00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.340
were just like going through auditions for Daniel

00:09:46.340 --> 00:09:49.379
Radcliffe, looking for the perfect person. I

00:09:49.379 --> 00:09:53.919
think you can do it, but like you, so here's

00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:59.509
the issue. Making. Movies making TV shows is

00:09:59.509 --> 00:10:02.070
a business. So you're going to have a project

00:10:02.070 --> 00:10:06.950
timeline. You're going to have a budget I Really

00:10:06.950 --> 00:10:08.870
think you need to take a step back from all of

00:10:08.870 --> 00:10:10.889
that and be like we are gonna spend as long as

00:10:10.889 --> 00:10:14.529
it takes to find these three children That's

00:10:14.529 --> 00:10:16.769
going to be that like special spark for this

00:10:16.769 --> 00:10:19.610
like new generation. I'm like a little worried

00:10:19.610 --> 00:10:24.370
that no one no studio No director is gonna have

00:10:24.370 --> 00:10:27.399
the patience to do that if that makes sense We're

00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:31.320
going to find out. We will find out. Yeah. Now,

00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.860
on the on the television side of it, and we're

00:10:33.860 --> 00:10:35.500
getting a little off topic of the original topic,

00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.179
but we'll kind of go with this. HBO is known

00:10:39.179 --> 00:10:42.980
for its television. HBO does not screw up television.

00:10:43.659 --> 00:10:47.580
HBO knows how to make good quality television

00:10:47.580 --> 00:10:52.360
shows. So if there's any network, cable or otherwise,

00:10:52.419 --> 00:10:56.460
which service. that has the best shot at doing

00:10:56.460 --> 00:10:58.519
the Harry Potter casting and has the patience

00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.759
and ability and institutional knowledge from

00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.860
a production level to do this. It is absolutely

00:11:05.860 --> 00:11:10.019
Warner Brothers and HBO. Right. This is just

00:11:10.019 --> 00:11:13.960
what they do. Hello, Last of Us. Hello, Game

00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:17.639
of Thrones. Hello, Sopranos. Hello. I mean, I

00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.039
can go on and on and on and on and on and on.

00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.779
Hello, newsroom. You know, I mean. They just

00:11:23.779 --> 00:11:27.700
this is what HBO does Separate actually what

00:11:27.700 --> 00:11:29.299
we'll hit that the quick hits here in a minute

00:11:29.299 --> 00:11:30.980
because they did something this week. That was

00:11:30.980 --> 00:11:40.940
really silly You know I Here's where I would

00:11:40.940 --> 00:11:44.360
go with Star Wars if I was gonna do it Right.

00:11:44.700 --> 00:11:48.299
I'm Kathleen Kennedy Right or I take over for

00:11:48.299 --> 00:11:50.539
Kathleen Kennedy tomorrow. Somebody did this

00:11:50.539 --> 00:11:53.940
where they took that obi -wan show right and

00:11:53.940 --> 00:11:55.940
they cut it into a movie it was about two and

00:11:55.940 --> 00:11:58.120
a half hours but they literally were like if

00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.899
i take this and cut it into a film and it was

00:12:01.899 --> 00:12:04.899
good it was on youtube for a minute before it

00:12:04.899 --> 00:12:07.820
got dmca'd but everybody who saw it was like

00:12:07.820 --> 00:12:11.320
this this is really good i think there's a good

00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.120
two and a half hour movie in that six hour tv

00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:19.139
show i think in a lot of the stuff in the prequel

00:12:19.139 --> 00:12:21.830
trilogy I went took my daughter to see episode

00:12:21.830 --> 00:12:26.370
three the other week. It's not good. It's got

00:12:26.370 --> 00:12:32.029
good moments. But it's not good. We talked about

00:12:32.029 --> 00:12:35.509
this at the Mariners game. Yeah. And I brought

00:12:35.509 --> 00:12:38.389
up. So I also saw it in theaters a couple of

00:12:38.389 --> 00:12:40.830
weeks ago as well. And I was like, you know what?

00:12:41.629 --> 00:12:44.450
This is the first time where I actually remember

00:12:44.450 --> 00:12:48.289
saying this. Yeah. The acting is not that great.

00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:52.440
I think like as a kid, I was so caught up in

00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:55.259
like the lightsaber battles and everything like

00:12:55.259 --> 00:12:58.360
that. And then like I held on to that for so

00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.639
long. But then like going back as an adult, you're

00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.820
kind of, you kind of look at it and you're like,

00:13:04.820 --> 00:13:09.600
Ooh, there's, there's really great moments. But

00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.539
in episode three, I was like, overall, like the

00:13:12.539 --> 00:13:16.230
acting's not that great. I think that in the

00:13:16.230 --> 00:13:18.950
prequel trilogy, there's like a Fellowship of

00:13:18.950 --> 00:13:24.710
the Rings extended edition for our version. Right.

00:13:25.429 --> 00:13:27.669
That combines elements of episodes one, two and

00:13:27.669 --> 00:13:33.250
three. That is awesome. Right. And maybe if I'm

00:13:33.250 --> 00:13:37.470
the head of Lucasfilm, I make a definitive cut

00:13:37.470 --> 00:13:39.450
of all these different projects to cut out all

00:13:39.450 --> 00:13:46.679
the crap. Right. Maybe that's the solution. I

00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:53.440
don't know. I really don't. But no, I stand by

00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:59.240
fully retconning and rebooting Star Wars. Is

00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:04.580
not a good idea. It's just. It's just not. It

00:14:04.580 --> 00:14:08.299
doesn't make sense. Also, if you're comparing

00:14:08.299 --> 00:14:11.340
Star Wars to Harry Potter, the creator of Star

00:14:11.340 --> 00:14:16.340
Wars. He did have that scandal. It's a very small,

00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:21.220
tiny scandal, but nothing as big as Harry Potter

00:14:21.220 --> 00:14:25.259
creator scandal. No. And the scandal I'm talking

00:14:25.259 --> 00:14:30.120
about for Star Wars is just Jar Jar Binks. Darth

00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.700
Jar Jar. Jar Jar Jar. Yeah, we need to get in

00:14:33.700 --> 00:14:45.000
there and get us some Darth Jar Jar. Yeah. So,

00:14:45.059 --> 00:14:47.840
that's our thoughts on that. Tell us what you

00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:51.940
think, right? Down in the comments below.
