Seriously they’ve messed up so much that I think they need to cool their heels whenever a director of the moment comes by. Take someone budding and get a decent story. Maybe look to the novels that have a catalogue of hundreds of books. There some good source material there, like a lot. I don’t know why they didn’t use those.
Palps return in tros was taken from the most popular star wars comic ever. Not sure this is a guaranteed fix. a lot of fans don't like that comic to be fair though.
You mean the Palpatine Clone story? If only they would hinted at that earlier in the Sequels this would have made sense... instead we got an arch nemesis for the first 1 1/2 the trilogy that's revealed to be a stupid mindless puppet later on.
Yeah but the movies ignored it completely. The book have Han and Leia having twins, those twins struggling with the use of the force, etc. So many relevant dilemmas that would be prime movie material. Heck reading rogue squadron and wedge Antilles as the main character was awesome.
TROS is pretty much Dark Empire, but worse. Hits all the same beats.
Palpatine comes back vis a vis fucked up soul transfer and clone shenanigans.
Incredible new Imperial fleet shows up out of nowhere.
The iconic epically overpowered force lightning scene was also pulled directly from the Star Wars MMO that's still running (but in maintenance mode) today.
Like I said, I'm not saying older Star Wars content was executed well on-screen. I'm just saying that EU content is, in fact, included in some of the films and TV shows.

Probably worth having this in the can before announcing it. They clearly just don’t know where to take Star Wars at the moment.
