[QUOTE="monkey_roo, post: 558630, member: 2414"] for me it comes down to World Building. Disney traditionally don't really do that (odd to say when you think about it) but - all their films (while building worlds within themselves) are stand-alone and sequels or franchises are almost accidental or as a result of commercial success - they are not mapped out from day 1. Where-as both Star Wars and Marvel are entire Story Universes - all interconnected with a cannon to follow - very different creative approaches are needed. I think for Marvel - since they essentially created that Cinema/TV universes from scratch (not quite as there was Agents of Shield and the Netflix shows etc.) and they had a single individual pulling the strings from day one - that joined up - planned out and carefully executed approach shines through. With SW they bought it and just tried to claw their purchase price back on day one - the films were not joined up (R1 and Solo are still the best two films they have made) and the TV shows outside of the animated world are disjointed - basically there was/is no master plan and creatively killing off the heroes and showing a post Empire Universe that is as bad if not worse than the empire makes you wander what the rebellion achieved - basically a lot of jumbled thoughts. Don't get me wrong - within the films and shows there have been enjoyable momements and overall I don't think anything is 'bad' - Mando is fun, when the BB focuses on the A plot is is fantastic, Andor is one of the best shows on the platform and Obi-Wan was very enjoyable - but it just doesn't connect. For me they do need to pause all SW work and sit down and map out a big multi-year plan that thinks how characters interact/crossover and what good v bad there is and go from there. There is plenty of life in the universe and I think now they have killed of Skywalker and friends they have a chance to clean slate things. I am sure I read that was something they were looking at anyway - but who knows. [/QUOTE]
