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

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.

So the low Korean birth rates aren't cultural, it's because they just don't like kids...

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.

It's probably the biggest failure in entertainment ever How hard is to make stories for children with lightsaber battles occasionally thrown in?

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.
