I had the pleasure of sitting down at 3am in the morning just after Star Wars Celebration to discuss with Australia’s The New Daily why the future of the franchise should excite every Star Wars fan.
Despite performing well at the box office, the sequel trilogy was a bit of a hit and miss for some fans.
“I think they moved very quickly to start making new films,” Brian Cameron, editor at Star Wars news site Fantha Tracks, told TND.
“And I don’t know if there’s regret, but I think what certainly became an issue for them was producing content maybe too quickly for the talent they had behind it – certainly with the first three films Disney released.
“They didn’t seem to have a plan and I think that’s where a lot of the criticism stems from.”
That said, Cameron believes we’ll probably see a repeat of what happened with the prequel trilogy.
Those films, starring Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen, were famously pummelled upon their release.
“But I think there’s more of an appreciation for the prequels now, and I think you’ll probably see that same pattern with the latest batch of films as the years progress,” Cameron said.
Perhaps Cameron best summed up the generous slate of content when he said there is now “something for everybody”.
“I think everyone can find content they like now,” he said.
“They might not enjoy all of it, but they can certainly find a show that feels like it’s for them. And they’re producing content that’s from different eras in the timeline, so they’re catering for different fans.”
