Selling something means you don't have it any more.
Any criticizing of something you sold in such case is won't say moronic but at least unfair.
Thank God here in Germany "intellectual property" cannot be sold by definition !
Because what one invents, belongs to the inventor eternally. One can only sell plans, rights, etc. …
Besides, I'm having a discussion with a group of Star Wars fans now, about "marginalising the original Rebel's efforts in the older movies by showing how the Empire is in the new movies".
My point is that because Disney wants thios setting to sell, it is stuck in an "Eternal War" setting now. There just will be no pece, because peace doesn't sell.
To me, that's the GAU of a setting, because I as a writer very firmly believes that "a good story needs a good end", and Star Wars has mainly always been a *story* to me.
In short, all of the artistical effort George Lucas was putting into this story and setting becomes marginalised to bow before the profit interests of the capitalism.
I'm not against Disney wanting to make mone with this setting - but please without raping it - or twisting it into a direction it was never meant to be.
( I do know that the "Expanded Universe" always had that "Eternal War" setting already, but that was everything non-movie, so I and other fans could easily dismiss that. )
From the article :
But he was harsh in criticizing the film industry for focusing on profit over storytelling.
Exactly my point.
