There are infinite other possibilities, and that\u2019s my point: in the hands of skilled screenwriters, it\u2019s possible to reboot this franchise in a way that maintains certain elements fans love while changing the status quo as much as possible. Best of all, such a reboot wouldn\u2019t feel arbitrary because a forgotten episode of <em>Rebels<\/em> provided a canonical explanation for in-universe time travel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Incidentally, a somewhat different version of The World Between Worlds appeared in <em>Ahsoka<\/em>, which was mostly used to show Ahsoka (who accessed this dimension via the Force rather than a special temple) dream-like visions of her own past and allow her to talk to Anakin Skywalker again. It was great to see Hayden Christensen as Anakin, of course, and pleasant to see Ahsoka get some closure, but we don\u2019t see her or anyone else use this special dimension to change the past. If a future Star Wars movie or show used The World Between Worlds more like <em>Rebels<\/em> did, it would allow Disney to give the galaxy far, far away a much-needed reboot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Right now, it\u2019s an open secret that Disney is squandering the Star Wars franchise, and occasional awesomeness like <em>Andor<\/em> just doesn\u2019t make up for a failed Sequel Trilogy and middling TV shows like <em>The Book of Boba Fett<\/em> and <em>The Acolyte<\/em>. As with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/marvel\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Marvel;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Marvel<\/a>, a reboot is now necessary to fix the franchise\u2019s narrative mistakes and make general audiences excited about a galaxy far, far away again. And unless Disney is willing to use time travel to change this franchise\u2019s past, the blunt truth is that Star Wars may have no future.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\"\/><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Famously (or infamously, depending on who you talk to), the Marvel Cinematic Universe is going to get rebooted after Avengers: Secret Wars.
