The closest I can think of is the absolute shitfit people threw about ME 3, and the closest I have ever heard about blaming anyone in particular is mocking LOTS OF SPECULATION FROM EVERYONE.

I don't think anyone has ever disputed the notion that George Lucas is a decent guy
Nah people do that all the time. Hate for his films transfers to hate for him as a person, freely.
It goes both ways. Some people despite evidence to the contrary think hes some kind of infallible genius creator who had some epic saga planned out his whole life. Never mind like a dozen people helped make the series what it is.
these two things are in no way comparable
Its also kinda dismissive! The discovery that Lucas didn't forge star wars by himself seems to have led to this subtext in conversations like this where Lucas didn't really do anything. I think it has to do with the assumption people have that the prequels were "pure Lucas" and that all the problems with the prequels were because there was no one around to fix things. In truth there was no one around to help. There is a difference.
Also the prequels were made on a really tight schedule and Lucas was forced by circumstance to take on more and more responsibility.
Yeah. Lucas did not have carte Blanche to do anything with the prequels. If one of them failed, there was a good chance that he would have lost everything. The man had been putting everything into Skywalker ranch for a while

Not the first one, no. I'm surprised it's not one of the top-performing movies ever made. Oh wait, it IS one of the top-performing movies ever made! At one point it was second of all time!
Episode 2 ate it hard, comparatively speaking - only $650 million opposed to $1.027 billion. Episode 3 bounced back and took $849 million at the box office.

Lucas’ ex-wife was pretty instrumental in the process of making New Hope and Empire Strikes Back classics. She was an amazing editor.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

Marcia Lucas is the reason A New Hope is any good. In the original cut of the film after the Death Star warped into the Yavin system it just sat there and waited for the rebels to attack it. Marcia was the one who put forth the idea of having the countdown until the Death Star fires on Yavin IV. If you rewatch the film any scene that talks about the Death Star firing on the rebel base is communicated with voiceover, visual effects, and reused scenes and dialog.
There's a reason A New Hope won the academy award that year for best editing.

I wonder what she thinks of that online edit of the prequel trilogy into one film with all the stupid bullshit cut out? I think it was Topher Grace that made it? I wouldn't mind seeing that myself, to be honest.

I think it was just Ep 1 not all three but I recall the main two rumors were a film student did it as a project and it wasn't meant to get out or Topher Grace did it and purposely leaked it.

The most mind boggling thing is how star wars was only sold for four billion dollars.
With merchandising, it has probably made that back already.

I mean, if we're concerned about how much money each film made, I think the box office returns would all be minuscule in comparison to the merchandising profits for each film.
The prequel box office receipts look relatively puny these days
I dunno man, 1.027 Billion for TPM? Any non-Avengers/Jurassic World/SW movie would kill for that these days. I mean I know that TFA was two billion but TPM was nearly 20 years ago! And that's on a budget of 115 million!
Podcaster Aaron Goins talked with Tom Kane (Clone Wars Yoda VA) at a Comic-Con. Said there are "at least" 9 Star Wars films in some stage of development currently but none are Yoda-centric

I would be a little skeptical about how much the Voice Actor for Yoda on a show that's been off the air for years knows about the film slate
His most recent involvement with the franchise is doing Yoda for the internet Forces of Destiny series and also voicing the like 2 lines Ackbar had in TLJ

I think the backlash againist VII and the meh Solo movie has made them rethink the every year initiative.
The backlash to TLJ was just a bunch of whiny shitbirds on the internet, I sincerely doubt it has made Disney reconsider anything. The movie is still the 11th highest grossing global, and 8th domestic, movie of all time and made over a billion dollars.
Now Solo, on the other hand, yeah they're probably reevaluating some stuff after that one

It's the people past the shitbirds and silly geese the people making fun of how bad it is and how those memes are quite popular at the moment
Still I feel VII is just a glorified TV movie with a cinema budget as it just feels a huge let down

Solo thought a story about Han Solo was enough to sell a movie off of and didnt even try to sell its story. It failed due to a lot of things and one of those things was arrogance.

are you talking about the force awakens or the last jedi, because the force awakens is episode VII (7)
Honestly I think you could sum up Solos advertising issues but taking any risking first marvel movie and cutting a trailer thats just shots of each character and explosions. The first Captain America trailer really digs into some of the iconic lines in that movie. It gets you emotionally invested man.

I haven't seen it, but I'm still waiting on the 'But SOLO is good though' thinkpieces and video essays to start showing up. How long does that normally take? Just after BluRay release?

Its mostly regarded as ok. I dont think you get those with movies that most people think is pretty ok.
Yeah Solo didn't get trashed, it has a 70something% on Rotten Tomatoes. I enjoyed it but not as much as I should have enjoyed a Star Wars heist flick starring my favorite Star Wars character.
The most interesting stuff written about Solo will be about its insane production.

The attention to detail in Solo was pretty great he had the little Harrison Ford chin scar the whole time just like Teen Indy in the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.
I've not seen Solo and one of the biggest reasons why is (and yes this is a cliche) star wars fatigue.
It's a massive galaxy and you're doing an origin story about one of the main characters when he was younger. I just...don't care enough to see that at the cinema.
This is why I liked Rogue 1. It was related to the main plot but guess what? There were other people in the rebellion. We got to see them.

Gotta admit, they mostly didn't really grab me while watching the movies, but listening to them by themselves, even the in-between bits work.
