    My answer is yes. It is time Izra changes everything. 7, 8, and 9 are nothing new to Star Wars. They are repeats to 4, 5, and 6. I understand that they are trying to do women power. That’s ok. But the story for 7, 8 and 9 is the worst story I have ever seen. They need to think about tying everything from SWTOR until a new story. I would sit down and go over 7, 8 and 9 and figure out the why and how to lead to the Yuzong vong war. Dark Lord Oblivion makes kylo ren look like a major wimp. Jon and Dave know what they are doing. Have the Thor director Direct 10, 11 and 12 or Zack Snyder. There is also a canon story about Anakin going back in time and changing things to.

    Do Ezra and Ahsoka make for a better trilogy than Rey + endless callbacks to the original trilogy. YES. RESOUBDING YES. Eps VII-IX are not completely unwatchable, but c’mon, that narrative is so stale and forced it’s a priest trying to shove body of christ crackers down your throat for 3 hours.

    Yes, absolutely Ezra and Ashoka should clear away the sequels. Abrams himself admitted it was a mess with no direction. So as long as it’s hanging around, it will continue to be the ball and chain that drags SW down. They should just clear the board and start again. With Ezra and Ahsoka meeting Luke and building the Jedi Order like he originally intended from the expanded universe

      And they should adapt old EU characters and stories

  4. At the end of Season 2 the last scene is Ashoka entering the temple at its base with the owl. She did not die.
    Vader is seen leaving from the top bewildered as to what had just happened; where did Ashoka go? Because of his state and damaged suit was unaware she had returned from her meeting with Ezra and now was below him.
    Much like when he thinks he strikes down Obi Wan only to find just his robes…which he pokes with his lightsaber wondering where his body is. Through his training Obi Wan entered the force body, mind, and soul so he never died but changed how he existed. From a brayonic form of matter and energy to one alive in the Force. Yoda followed. With Qi Gon they stopped Anakin from joining the Universal Cosmic Common Force and held him in the space and time from joining that aspect of it to be recycled/redistributed and used that timeless moment to train him with the knowledge to join his mind and spirit and possibly his body after it was purified by fire.
    Qi Gon had to learn to appear as himself for he had grasped the Living Force but had yet to realize the potential and possibilities it offered so came into being within it years after his demise. Luke eventually stepped through into it as well, following Obi Wan and Yoda.
    Leia it would seem to have learned as Anakin in the moment of physical death prior to consumption into the common force and when she completed her training she reclaimed her physical form. The same for Ben apparently but he learned much quicker than his mom.

    Loved the Star War Sequels and tired of alternate time line stuff, would just enjoy seeing the stories progress as they do, and what happens, happens.

    I agree completely. Though I heavily dislike the poor writing and planning of the sequels, I don’t necessarily want them scrapped, I just want this theory to be true and for Filoni and Favreu to make a new sequel trilogy. Rebels fans like me can totally see the merit in this theory and it’s obvious that the current sequels are in the doomed universe where Ahsoka died. I would very much love to see the universe where Ezra and Ahsoka have their well deserved prominent role in the Galaxy alongside Luke Skywalker (personally I’d be so freaking happy to see Ahsoka meet Luke and see their bond) but yeah, I desperately hope that we get a sequel trilogy where Ahsoka lives

    I for one am glad the Sequel Trilogy happened. It proved to Hollywood that nostalgia and slapping a popular name on something doesn’t mean success.

    Oh, give it a goddamn rest already! The sequels ARE NOT BEING REMOVED FROM CANON!

    Creating an alternate timeline would be great for every Star Wars fan whether you enjoyed the sequel trilogy (which completely ruined the point of the first 6 movies) or not. Now this doesn’t mean they will be removed from canon, it just means they can recreate them in a different timeline (following rebels where Ezra saves Ashoka from Darth Vader, therefore creating a branch in the original timeline) The sequels should be set in the timeline where Ashoka wasn’t saved by Ezra. I know most of us Die hard star wars fans would like to erase the sequels from our memory, (not to say we already haven’t) But that just isn’t going to happen and creating an alternate timeline could have many benefits as well, one of them giving a place for Star Wars legends (until Disney decides to fill ideas from them at least) Sure, the sequels will always haunt me for the rest of my days, but I assume this will make everyone happy and not lose a whole section of Star Wars’ fan base in the process. I have spoken. Dave and Jon will save us all.

    My viewpoint is that had Rian been overseen properly along with a decent script instead of that crap it wouldn’t have been as awful as it was.
    But then Rise of Palpatine was idiotic!
    The prequels had one task and that was explain how Anakin became Darth Vader.
    It took the Clone Wars animated series to accomplish that!
    Regarding the ST the easiest way to resolve that is to reveal the Luke in ep 8 is actually a clone of Luke as per the Thrawn trilogy.
    Have him appear in the Ahsoka series this the OT Luke is still out there and Rey can get properly trained given Leia didn’t finish her training!

      The Luke Prime theory is finally confirmed!!!

    Ezra was not the hero we wanted…but he is the hero we needed.

    1. Star Wars Lover

      Sequels are for people who just love Star Wars. They feed our need for content when other Star Wars projects are being worked on.

    Im an old school fan since 77. I’m not in love with sequel trilogy but I don’t hate it either. You make excellent points. Well said.

  13. Blake Mckellips

    I think it would help extremely, though I am a huge Ezra Bridger fan, my unbiased opinion is that the sequel trilogy felt rushed, had no direction, and definitely did not feel like the things that sparked my imagination as a child, in fact it kinda ruined it, and it’s not about what the characters are it’s about how they develop and the things they do, I think the biggest fault other than the story making no sense, is the fact that there were little to no old characters reuniting and it was incredibly sad, the story and characters I love were turned into a sjw money grab made by people who don’t care about something that a lot of people do, so yes this is a great thing for Star Wars.

    I’ve watched the sequels more times than you can imagine and I wish there were more. #Dont Scrap Star Wars Sequel

    I do not understand why it is taking so long to bring Ezra back I would love to see Esperance of being reunite so they can start a life together but lucas films seems to be dragging their feet if they even want to do that which would be ignoring what a lot of fans want to see

  16. I would like to see Ezra and Sabine reunite so they can start a life together

  17. Wing Z

    Yes, yes he should
