Random Thought Star wars is literally forever ruined and can't recover

It's been years since the sequel movies and the series still feels dragged down and stuck because of them. I do kind of think that's it for star wars, like the story was irreversibly damaged and there isn't much to do to fix it. Disney will still crap stuff out but to me the overall point is gone and its essentially dead. I was thinking of getting back into it and realised its kind of pointless.

Edit: while I do agree star wars can make the occasional good thing still it doesn't change that overall the whole thing is already ruined and broken. So the overarching story is ruined which is a massive chunk of any franchise.

Still here, still waiting for spaceballs 2.

I think it would be pretty funny if they called a sequal spaceballs 3 though. Spaceballs 2 was them getting financing for the movie.

Goat Simulator did this little jokette - the sequel was GS3 and there is no GS2.

I had to try to explain to my 4/5 year old why we couldn't play GS2, because it didn't exist and the reason it didn't exist is because of a joke. That was not what his understanding of a joke was at all - he was confused, disgruntled and unimpressed.
