Star Wars Sequel Trilogy has provided plenty of entertainment for those who love a wild and unsubstantiated rumor that verges closer and closer to full-blown conspiracy theory territory with each passing day, and the repeated scuttlebutt that
Infamous YouTuber Doomcock, who claims to have sources buried deep within Lucasfilm who apparently only relay information to him that surrounds
The Force Awakens,
The Last Jedi and
The Rise of Skywalker being wiped from canon, has been at it again. After recently reporting for at least the sixth time that it was happening, the much more reputable Jason Ward of Making Star Wars called the speculation preposterous, based on the well-founded logic that the Sequel Trilogy made billions for the studio and continues to bring in merchandise revenue to this day.
New Rumor Says Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Remake Will Give Luke A Fitting Ending
Star Wars Sequel Trilogy received a fairly divisive reception. Most fans were on board for
The Force Awakens, but then
The Last Jedi happened.
It was as if two entirely different movies had been screened for each half of the fanbase. Some were praising
Episode VIII as the best
Star Wars sequel since the

Star Wars: The Clone Wars may have been directed by Dave Filoni and introduced Ahsoka Tano into the mix, but it was panned by critics, and still only holds a Rotten Tomatoes score of 17%, even with a decade of nostalgia and goodwill for the follow-ups.

If you’ve ever head the name Doomcock, then you’ll be fully aware that the infamous YouTuber loves George Lucas as much as he hates Kathleen Kennedy, and the only thing he appears to dislike anywhere near as much as the Lucasfilm President is the
The self-proclaimed ‘insider’ has become well known for the sheer volume of absurd statements made surrounding the future of the franchise on both the big screen and Disney Plus.

Lucasfilm Reportedly Developing Star Wars Comedy Film
There were countless comparisons made and parallels between
Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe long before both franchises were acquired by Disney, but they’ve only intensified since the brands became flagships of the Mouse House’s rapidly expanding empire.
Lifelong fan Kevin Feige freely admits that George Lucas’ sprawling mythology had a huge bearing on how he approached his own set of interconnected films, and he’s now about to produce a
Star Wars blockbuster of his own. There’ve also been constant rumors that Lucasfilm are looking to replicate the MCU formula when it comes to the future of a galaxy far, far away, and they’ve even roped in Jon Favreau to be the architect, over a dozen years after he launched Marvel’s series of superhero stories with
