Well, Rogue One was something quite different in tone for the Star Wars franchise - a gritty and bleak war film. And although I haven't seen it yet, apparently, The Last Jedi is something very different.

EDIT: And I can see them doing something better than Ridley Scott's Alien prequels.

The Oh Dear God comment was for the multitude of franchise films we'll be getting.

In a few years the box office will be

Avengers 11
X-Men 9
Star Wars 67 (Try and get 17 films out per year)
Avatar 6
Alien 12
The Dark Knight Returns Again and Again and Again

They aren't different as they are Star Wars and Alien films of which we've had many.

I meant different as in different.

Even though I personally prefer Revenge of the Sith to The Force Awakens, it was still pretty good fun, and Disney's Star Wars films have been better received than the prequels on the whole. I can see Disney doing a better job with the Alien series than Ridley Scott has with his middling prequels, who has morphed into the new Lucas - the creator of a franchise coming back to ruin it.

Had that been an image of the bratty Kylo Ren then you wouldn't have had a leg to stand on.
