Downtown Khazan: Ice Cold Utopia

[Sharpandpointies]

Well in regards to the movies, this is probably a minority opinion, but I think they were never that great to begin with. This isn't to say they were bad or not good. But at the end of the day it was just a standard heroes journey/fantasy adventure, but in space.

As I said it's still a well told heroes journey/fantasy adventure, but Empire is the only SW films that was ever anything special from a story telling standpoint.

Empire was my favorite out of the originals, yep.

The movies...what set them apart was the style, the visuals, the F/X, that kind of thing. There really wasn't anything like them around at the time, I feel.

True, but that's also probably a big part of why Star Wars isn't that big with the kids today. More so than the quality or lack there of, of the Disney Trilogy.

At the time Star Wars was a spectacle unlike anything that had been seen before, today it is not.

My cousin's kids are more familiar with Star Wars via the CGI-shows than the original or prequel movies.

As time goes on more and more kids will have very different first experiences with Star Wars. It's not necessarily the original trilogy that they'll see first anymore. But even with that it's a fairly popular franchise with all ages.

All of the last three movies made over 1 billion dollars at the box office after all.

Well, one of the managers just told me I am the most hardest working employee in the store since it opened 3+ years ago.

...I'm surprisingly touched.

It's still a fairly big franchise, but still not as big as it once was (my nephews don't care about Star Wars). Obviously that's not to say no kids like it, but I don't think it caught on with them the way it did with millennials and Gen-xers.

I will admit my dislike of Star Wars fans fans probably does colour my view on things.

E3 is cancelled due to concerned about the corona virus.

Probably smart.

I'm not so sure. It's four months away and the Corona virus business could well be over and done with by then. I'm not saying they should wait to the last minute, but canceling it nearly half year in advanced is a bit to soon in my opinion.

Let me guess, the two rich dudes get tons of one-sided prep.

No. Black Panther wins because vibranium and Batman wins pretty much because he's Batman, and thus being able to run over 100+ miles and devastate city blocks with a punch (and that's him on the last dregs of One for All and with a crippling injury) mean nothing before Batman.

honestly this might be the death knell for the whole expo period.
