How is this not the Onion?

"We killed off 30 years worth of books, comics etc and now we don't know what to put in our movies."

@matrix it's a lie though.

Rian took from expanded universe to do that force projection.

So they're talking trash to presequel content or they're lying to cover up that they fucked everything up and don't know what to do to fix it.

@zemichi
Well Rian also told JJ to shove his ideas up his ass (I'm paraphrasing) and did his own thing.

@matrix "Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy". A woman!? George Lucas must be rolling in his grave.
@rasterman @matrix She was Lucas' personal choice to run Lucasfilm. She's a very successful producer. The problem with Star Wars is Lucas ran out of ideas and energy almost before he finished the original trilogy, so he wrapped it up in six. 7, 8 and 9 were cancelled. 9 was going to have the death of the Emperor. Well, that's done, so they have to recreate the Empire and retell the same damn story to generate some conflict, additional episodes and a few billion in revenue.
@matrix They had to kill the post-Return of the Jedi EU because it was premised on immediate followup which necessitates a 35-40 year old Mark Hammil, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher. In 2012 the youth CG tricks were not up to the task.
@matrix Because you can not subvert the root of a franchise if there is enough established material that makes such thing impossible?.
Like : Why having a Rey when you already have a Cade Skywalker?
