Watched Top Gun 2 w/ the wife and kids last night.. why I mention it .. cause if Disney doesn't green light Rogue Squadron now.. then they are just throwing away money on their IP.

Rogue Squadron was always about 12 unique Republic pilots doing an impossible mission. Hopefully, this will bring the project back to the front. The film is a mix of WW2 dogfighting and Mission Impossible.

How is this not being made already!?!?! Ok rant over.

I think the short answer is Wonder Woman 1984 happened.

I watched Star Wars last night. Weird, I know.

Anyway, and I'm sure I've noticed this before, but C-3PO and R2 were owned by Wedge or Wedges family member before they found themselves on Leias ship.

Also, the Disney+ version has been further edited and has removed scenes I wasn't aware of. Specifically, when R2 is all alone in desert canyon and Jawas shoot him. That scene has been cut from Disney+ version.

Why would they cut that scene? We have to know how he ends up in the Sand Crawler.

Don't know if it is still true anymore w/ legacy and cannon changes.. but Captain Antilles use to not be related to Wedge Antilles .. just same last name. Of course, w/ all the new stuff they could have rewritten that part of the lore.

No idea. It was a glaring hole though. It's kind of maddening and nonsensical they would do that.

What else are they going to edit out that we don't know about?

All the more reason to own physical copies of your most beloved titles.

Ha. That seems overly complicated to put two different characters in a movie with such a unique name that aren't related.

Disney doesn't know how to make Star Wars movies
Seems that Disney is really hit and miss. Even movies like The Last Jedi.. where the director had amazing cinematic and visuals.. yet the story didn't seem to integrate well w/ the Force Awaken and Rise of Skywalker. Frankly the second act should have set up Palpatine return and the consequence of destroying Star Killer base. It met 50% but clearly fail to make a complete story. Very disappointed with Disney overall

Hits:
Mandalorian
Rogue One
Force Awaken
Rebels

Miss:
Boba Fett
Solo
The Last Jedi
Rise of the Skywalker
Resistance
Bad Batch (debatable)

Sadly us old farts that use to know all the lore and story had no issue with it.. saw it no different as two guys with the same last name.. like Smith or Williams... just name.. in fact Wedge was Corellian and Raymus was from Alderaan .. they weren't even from the same planet.. again they might have change that bit as I am not up to date on all the new comics and books like I use to be.

Here is the reference though it might be out of date: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Raymus_Antilles

I know some of y'all really like it, but Solo is considered a box office flop, especially within LF.

I liked Solo like many others who think it was the victim of unfortunate timing.

I quit watching Bad Batch. I could not stand the little girl. Creepy as hell and was major turn off.

The post wasn't using hot or miss"on the context of box office success
Brian Earl Spilner
How long do you want to ignore this user?

Maybe not, but it's a factor when ranking hits or misses.

That, combined with the lackluster reviews, would make it perfectly reasonable to rank it under Misses.
Duncan Idaho
How long do you want to ignore this user?
By that rationale, "it's a wonderful Life" was a miss
Brian Earl Spilner

And what's yours rationale for it being a Hit besides you liked it?

(BTW It's a Wonderful Life has a 94% RT score.)

I'd say the majority of us posters on here liked Solo. Therefore, it's a TexAgs hit. Deal with it.

Maybe, but when listing out Disney's hits and misses, you can't call someone out for calling it a miss.

It was a miss by most standards.

Seems I hit a sore spot.

Well didn't even consider it news.. just presenting an opinion. I debated Solo, Bad Batch and Rise of the Skywalker. I can even argue that Solo, TLJ, Rise of Skywalker and Bad Batch have some great and fun elements. Just feel like the "Miss" list are shows that didn't meet overall fan my expectations. The fact that Solo didn't get a sequel that was expected.. makes it a miss. As for Bad Batch, I wrote debatable cause it is. Some people love the opening and the Clones and some hated the special clones.. It might jump up to Hit but it will depends on what they do in Season 2.

BTW: this is my opinion.. other may have different opinion and that is ok.

Overall: Would you agree that Disney is batting about less then .500 w/ misses on key series that impacted the entire IP.

That's really a whole other discussion.

Blade Runner was a flop when it came out too. And many other examples.

Random question for nerd discussion...

When order 66 goes down, the clones all turn on the Jedi, and later retcon says b/c of a chip implanted in their brains. Why do you think the clones followed Anakin to the temple and weren't like "uh, he's a Jedi...shouldn't we kill him?"

Extremely quick firmware updates by the emperor. The dark side can sense feelings AND code.
