Star Wars: Remaking The Sequel Trilogy?

I was watching the Snyder Cut of Justice League and was wondering if this would be something Hollywood do in the future. The idea of remaking a recent movie because it didn’t meet expectations or downright was terrible. And it made me think about the Star Wars sequel trilogy. It’s very hard to find someone that says that the Star Wars sequel trilogy was actually good.

Then one day I stumbled on this post on Facebook. It seems as though there “might” be a chance Disney is remaking the trilogy. I use the word might because there is a lot of misinformation on the subject. But the same thing happened with the Snyder Cut. At first, they told the fans it didn’t exist, then it would be too expensive to film and then one random day it was announced to stream on HBO Max.

Hollywood has been doing things like forever. I remember when the series finale of Seinfeld was filming, cast members were only given their specific lines in the script and that was it. Not many knew the actual ending. And Tom Holland isn’t even given the actual script sometimes because the company fears him shouting out leaks.

So all we can do now is speciate until a mysterious trailer drops one day in the future. The idea of remaking the trilogy is good for Disney and the fans. I would imagine they would get Jon Favreau to write and direct the entire thing. Favreau made the Star Wars franchise cool again with the success of The Mandalorian.

One of the biggest missteps in the sequels were the competing directions of directors and writers. Very strange that they didn’t have a full plan for all three when production started and they were mostly scrambling to put something out. You’d expect more from one of the most well know companies in cinema.

This would also be a massive win for Disney as well because the last series was terrible and still managed to make over 4 billion dollars worldwide. So they would still be making a massive profit, be able to sell a ton of toys and merchandise and get to pat themselves on the backs why saying “we wanted to do right by the fans”.

However, I don’t see Disney making another billion-dollar movie in the future, Disney + put an end to that. Why would I go rushing to the theaters when I can simply wait a few months to watch it for no premium markup? But it would still make a profit in the long run.

Either way, the idea of remaking the failed sequels is a win for Disney and the fans. So now all we can do is speculate, keep the idea alive online and hope that Disney actually gives the fans what they want.
