How I Would Fix Star Wars

from The Gold Man Hosted by The Gold Man

The Star Wars franchise is at a crossroads. Once the most exciting universe in blockbuster filmmaking, modern Star Wars has struggled with inconsistent storytelling, controversial creative decisions, and a clear lack of long-term direction. In this video, I break down what I believe are the biggest problems facing Star Wars today, and more importantly, how the franchise could be fixed if the right creative vision were put in place. First, I analyze where things went wrong across the modern era of Star Wars — from the sequel trilogy to the Disney+ streaming strategy. I look at how projects like Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, The Mandalorian, and Andor reflect both the strengths and weaknesses of the current approach to the franchise. Then, I present my full plan to fix Star Wars. That includes: The type of new Star Wars movies the franchise should prioritize How future Star Wars TV shows should be structured Why the franchise needs a stronger creative identity and long-term roadmap What parts of the Star Wars universe deserve deeper exploration And how Lucasfilm can restore excitement around Star Wars storytelling The goal isn’t just criticism — it’s a constructive vision for the future of Star Wars, focusing on stronger characters, clearer themes, and a renewed sense of creative direction. If you’re a fan of Star Wars analysis, movie retrospectives, franchise deep dives, and long-form video essays, this video explores what it might take to bring one of the greatest pop culture franchises back to its full potential.
