Why Movie Prequels Often FAIL!
291Prequels often try to answer questions that fans weren't even asking — and the results usually disappoint. In this video, I break down why mystery is almost always more powerful than explanation, how J.J. Abrams’ "mystery box" concept plays into it, and why stories like Solo: A Star Wars Story fail to live up to the allure of the original. Let's dive deep into why sometimes less is more when it comes to great storytelling!
