Since we're talking about Star Wars: at its heart, Star Wars is about, in rank order: airplanes, being friends with A Creature, magic, martial arts, and the alienation of parental affection, which is all to say, give the franchise to Miyazaki and we might finally get a good one.

Do you mean Hayao Miyazaki or Hidetaka Miyazaki? This is important. Very distinctive vibes

Lol, I saw a soulsbourne streamer playing some game with a water level and made an offhand comment ‘thank god the Souls games don’t have fucking swimming levels’ to which the entire chat screamed variations of ‘DONT GIVE HIM IDEAS’ and ‘FUCK NO DONT WILL THAT INTO EXISTENCE.’

Sekiro literally has a swimming level though
I totally forget about that- but in my defense, the movement and platforming in Sekiro isn’t ass, which makes it an outlier for a Fromsoft game and as a water level.

Haha that's all true
…damnit, now I kinda want a souls game with a hidden o2 bar tied to an unexplained stat (maybe endurance or resistance? Whichever one no one takes) that leads to a drowning condition that fucks up your controls and deals a set % of max hp. Make us desperate to go back to the poison swamp, cowards.

I thought he meant the dark souls guy tbh. Like yeah, he’d do great with star wars

Honestly surprising there’s not more martial arts

The best Star Wars movie is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

it's about having a cool laser sword that makes sick sound effects

Star Wars is about being deafened by the irritating screech of space vehicles zooming by shooting horrid sounding lasers

The anime shorts from Visions are great!

A few of them missed, but most were very, very good. Giving it to studios who clearly loved the series, and just telling them to have fun for 15 - 20 minutes was exactly what they needed to do. Don't worry about canon nerds, just tell a good story. Hoping for a 3rd series.

“I fucking hate Star Wars” - Miyazaki, probably.

Though probably not as much as Indiana Jones. Dude fucking despises Indy.

They already made four good ones tho But you're 100% correct that a Miyazaki Star Wars would absolutely slay

I don't know if Andor is in your list but it needs to be. That's what I show people who don't like Star Wars
Avatar
It's a little different because it's a TV show but it absolutely is one of the best stories told in the Star Wars universe

Me: keeps enjoying Star Wars, mutes useless film critics

A critic is someone who failed at their chosen profession, and all they have left is to shit on others' work so not to have to face their own failures.

Finally? I reject the premise, but I would *absolutely* see that movie.

BRILLIANT Also, there’s no “might” about that. He would do exactly one, and not only would it be the best Star War of all — past, present and future — but it would also be considered a masterpiece of cinema in its own right.

Hell, they got Trigger to do at least a short.

I think Miyazaki would rather Earthsea or Nausicaa

I always thought Star Wars was a western set in space.

Oh I might actually watch it with enjoyment then

It’s all a preadolescent boy’s dream - which is why all the fanboys lose their shit when a woman or girl appears on screen with a speaking role. End of.

Miyazaki; famously known for hewing close to the source material. In other words I agree. (Not cause I actually have a problem with current SW. i just don't care enough to care to see the same thing.)
