@Rancid-Schnitzel Edited your post to keep this on track.
Your are right, it's probably a good thing. I wonder what this means for the Obi Wan movie?
For better or worse, they are probably better off not retreading old ground. It's time for new characters and new stories.
Given that the new characters involve a purple haired lesbo, an annoying Asian, a stuttering code breaker and a feminist droid I don't know this is a good thing.
It's a pretty sad situation isn't it? The old characters get killed and the new ones suck balls. That Finn and Rose romance is seriously hot.
-
If the new characters were good I'd be thrilled but overall they're just not. I think the interest in everyone's back stories speaks volumes of this.
There was a poll on a SW FB page about who's back stories people were most interested in. I think the six options were Dooku, Maul, Chirrut Imwe, Qui Gonn, Chewbacca and Saw Guerra. The two Siths won at an absolute fucken landslide ( I love Rogue One more than about of the other new ones but have to admit Saw was a crap character, up there with Rose and Holdo, also how crap would a movie about Chewie be, particularly the dialogue ? )
Prequel haters can get fucked cos I reckon a Dooku movie would be outstanding provided they got a decent actor in the lead role.

Dooku is a great example of the prequels having great, but criminally underdeveloped, characters. Imho they should have centred the PT around Dooku and the separatists rather than that trade Federation bullshit.

Agree 100%. To me he's a more interesting character than any of the new ones, even Rey and Ren. He's a Jedi who left the order but didn't join the Sith for many years....there's also arguments he was never a true Sith ( no discolored eyes for example )

He also trained Qui Gon, which could have offered up an interesting conflict.
Back to the current trilogy. What I think was a serious fuck up was not having a new generation of Jedi trained by Luke. The scope for awesome new characters would have been endless. This film could have focused on Ben turning to the dark side and the rise of the first order as a serious threat. Instead we get FO who are instantly more powerful than the Empire ever was and a resistance movement in the New Republic? Thats shittier than anything in the prequels.

It's not so much the timeline jumps that annoy me. Let's not forget we have it easier than in 1977 when looking up info on the big black bad guy wasn't an option. ( is he a robot? Is he part man? ) it's more the fact that the stories are shit.

At the risk of kicking off a shitfight again - I was walking today and saw a guy with a tie fighter T-Shirt and then I checked the T-Shirt of the guy next to him, the whole T-Shirt was taken up with "FUCK YOU RIAN JOHNSON".
I cracked up laughing at him and he smiled at me, I assume he assumed I was laughing in support.
Anyway, it was funny, and the two of them were both fatter and shorter (doesn't happen often) than me so I was a happy chappy walking away.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't have a go at me and @Rancid-Schnitzel when we're just trying to hang out and have a good time.

It crossed my mind but I think I've heard you both boasting about your height and Adonis bodies so I figured it wasn't you two.

Don't sell yourself short to make these dudes feel better.
I am a short arse but it wasn't me because there's no farking way I'll be going to Sydney anytime soon.
I wonder where you get those shirts from....
Solo will be free soon, so will be sure to give my much anticipated review.

You could have really stuck it to them by illegally downloading it.

Yes, but that would require some effort on my behalf.
On another note. Any thoughts on the new animated series with the original characters. Very unsure about that one. Don't like it when they mess around with the OT.

Hmm. Saw some clips but can't find any more info. Maybe a fan thing? It looked like a Clone Wars type thing. Timeline between ONH and ESB.
There's also a rumour about them casting the original characters, but that must be bullshit. Then again they remade Star Trek. Why not Star Wars?
