Here's an actually interesting thread about SW toys: https://old.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/comments/1fvdfkb/is_disney_bad_at_star_wars/lq673zh/?context=8
And another one about the general apathy surrounding the fandom nowadays: https://old.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/comments/1fvdfkb/is_disney_bad_at_star_wars/lq660az/?context=8
I agree, all around. Chewie hurt, i can still picture that in my mind like it was yesterday.
Fricking shit what's wrong with redditors? 
I suspect Kathleen Kennedy actually really hates George Lucas and Steven Spielberg and has been working her entire career just for the chance to see their creations turned into shit.
That's actually a good point

If any of you live near an Ollie's discount outlet, drop in some time and look at the absolute MOUNTAINS of unsold Star Wars figures. It's insane how much unsold stock there is, they really thought Disney-Wars was gonna be a perpetual cash cow…

Disney bought the franchise with the sole purpose of bleeding Star Wars whales dry, that's the only way you can explain the massive volume of content and toys plus that highly expensive hotel. But they also decided to insult all mega fans so now they are left with a bunch of very casual viewers who occasionally watch some starslop episode half asleep but would just as easily watch literally anything else
I guess they though Star Wars fans are so obsessed with the franchise that they will consooom any related content no matter how much Disney humiliates them

I think it's mostly
because people here hate Disney, Star Wars has generated $12 billion in 12 years since the acquisition. Yes there have been missteps, yes some of the new content is bad, but I don't think that many mega fans have been truly run off the franchise they're just older and more cynical than they were before.
Even the bad movies have been quite profitable.

They've destroyed more than $12 billion in the value of the brand. I mean ffs my high school freshman English class was based on Star Wars. That's how big it was. You could expect that everyone had seen it. Now you can say a lot about market fragmentation, whatever bullshit, but they've ruined the brand.

I mean
Is that not obvious??
They bought it on the basis that they could then do anything with Star Wars and still make money

A Mandalorian Movie in 2026/27 being the safest bet of a non-flop Star Wars movie is abysmal. Disney absolutely let the lightning out of the bottle with Star Wars.

I lost all interest in the Mandalorian when they brought back the baby, and let the foids co-opt him from being the titular character and apparently having major plotlines in a completely different show.
I give negative shits about old man Boba Fett. Why are you putting Mandalorian plotlines and episodes in Boba Fett series.
Just let him be a faceless gunslinger who goes around killing and stumbling into a bigger storyline by accident.

A story from a guy I knew. He's driving trucks in the Korean War. He's got a cargo of dead Americans in the back. And this is Korea so there's a heck of a lot of turns in the road. And each time he hears their blood splashing around. So any time I hear any fricking pinko complain about how maybe we haven't given North Korea enough chances yet.

This is the biggest issue for me with stuff like this. I understand why they do it, to get you invested in the other series as well, but it's a turn off for me. I either already enjoy the other series or I don't and then I will feel turned off when I see stuff from other series.
You can make cameo appearances in later seasons for fun, sure. But initially focus on the core of _this_ series and don't dilute it by bringing in other stuff.

I lost interest at some point but Baby Yoda is the whole point of the show. There's no drama unless you got somebody to fight for.
You can't fight for a guy because the viewer hasn't been in a war so he has no experience of that kind of relationship.
If you fight for a woman eventually the awkward question comes up of marrying her. This will end the series. So you can only do "bimbo of the week" episodes where you frick someone and she conveniently dies.
So, from a theater guy's perspective at least, Baby Yoda is ideal. Cute, likeable, and there's no pressure to marry him.

Yeah except they changed baby yoda's character so much that he's literally a powerful and practically immortal teddy bear that constantly overshadows the protagonists and injects himself into scenes where he is unneeded to the point that his very prescience has become intolerable.
Plus he's clearly a marketing ploy that only exists to sell merch.

Oh yeah, (again I haven't watched more than the first season)
Baby Yoda is supposed to be a plot device that drives forward a story about other characters.
When Baby Yoda becomes a character in the story, that's breaking all the laws of writing a TV episode.
This frickers have probably never seen The Rockford Files of The A-Team to just get the basics of writing a TV show.
They're artists.
(Also have never seen the classics from China, Japan, France, Germany).
But they got one foid who watched that r-slurred costume drama that was trying to be like that one from Turkey that was trying to be like that one from Korea.

This is a huge problem because black people didn't like Star Wars or Bruce Lee. Just like I can never appreciate French or German or Japanese movies. I watched that scene in Hard Boiled where he blows away 200 gangsters in a Chinese and it didn't work for me because I was thinking about race in American terms the whole time.
