?? I know....that was my point. We jump to the prequels, and one of the first characters we see is Obi-Wan, a character already established. They could've gone with any Jedi really, but they didn't, they wanted it to tie together. That's why I was saying I would be surprised if they went with totally new characters or timeline period. |
That doesn't sound like that's your point, but okay. My point was that if they hadn't had Obi Wan or Yoda or Anakin in the PT, then it would have been odd. Not because 'it's what most people are looking for', but because it wouldn't make sense not to. So, no, they really couldn't have gone with any other Jedi alone (though they did include quite a few new Jedi).
On the Disney Princess point, I have no problem with Disney using Leia, because they've moved away from that stereotype of 'Disney Princess' in recent years. And I don't think they'd replace Mara with a damsel in distress, because they don't do - or at least, not solely - damsels in distress any more. They have veritable a***-kicking characters. Although I've not seen the Avengers movie, the woman Scarlett Johannson played was, I gather, a solid character. Brave. Pirates. _________________ I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar. That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him. That doesn't mean I prefer the PT over the OT, or vice versa. That doesn't mean I hate the EU, or even love all of it. These are not prerequisites. Being a man is not a prerequisite. Being a geek is not a prerequisite. The only prerequisite is that I love something about Star Wars. I am a Star Wars fan.
