    People forget that Force Awakens was very faithful to original Star Wars, and it was Rian Johnson who came in and threw the plan out the window, not the faceless corporate stooges. There will definitely be a big effort to win over Bond fans initially.

    Was it? Han's character development was totally ignored and he was exactly the same he was at the beginning of A New Hope. Luke's lightsaber was in a random chest even though it had been dropped from the Cloud City (how did they even retrieve it)? The humour was more akin to a Marvel movie than a Star Wars movie.

    If anything, it was The Last Jedi that understood why the Jedi fell in the prequels and even followed George Lucas' guidelines for the sequels, whereas The Force Awakens ignored them.
    Besides, Johnson threw no plan out the window, there was no plan for SW 8 before he came on board. Even Daisy Ridley stated that no one knew who Rey was supposed to be while they were already filming Rise of the Skywalker.

    I think The Last Jedi was the one that has Marvel humor

    And the prequels are not the original movies...

    Both movies do (I mean, TFA opens with that awful "who talks first?" joke), lots of self-aware quips in both (though I do agree with @mtm that they felt forced and cringe-worthy in TLJ).

    The prequels were made by George Lucas. Else you might as well say that Bond getting married and having a child is not faithful to Bond as that never happened in the original novel. And what I want from Amazon is to respect ALL of Bond, not just the parts they like (which is what Abrams did with TFA).

    One thing need to not do with the next actor is do not strip Bond down. FFS every Bond movie in the Craig era was about stripping Bond down emotionally until there was nothing left literary.

    I'd appreciate a smaller adventure, like DN or FRWL or CR or even TLD. Give us some time to be with the new Bond, M, Moneypenny and see how Bond thinks and acts before launching him to some exotic locale.

    I wouldn't mind a closer adaptation of MR but they would need to make it less UK-based.

    Someone I'm recently impressed by for Moneypenny is Aimee Lou Wood, currently stealing all her scenes in The White Lotus season 3.
