False starts, announcements, cancellations, aborted projects and box office disasters. Disney Star Wars has been nothing short of a calamity in recent years, and its only going to get worse.

    Since Disney bought SW, I went from anxious trepidation, to hesitant optimism, to disappointing betrayal, and finally, apathetic indifference.

    'Remember when geek culture was reserved for actual geeks who cared about the subject matter rather than political activists...." That's a really great quote

    "the idea of an older and wiser Rei passing on her had-won wisdom and insight to a next generation of Jedi, bridging the gap between past and future and allowing Star Wars to finally progress beyond the Skywalker saga" is Rei doing exactly what Luke should have done in the sequels. Same with Ahsoka's entire storyline, ripped off and mangled from Luke's character in Heir to the Empire. 30+ years, and the only thing they can do is steal from the characters they so much want gone.

    Problem with the big corporations are: they essentially buy franchises as properties and instead of trying to appeal to their the fans which make ( and more importantly, keep) them relevant; they try to alienate them as fast as possible. This happened with the DCEU, MCU, Star Wars, Star Trek and who knows what else. In pursuit of profits, they essentially kill the essence of these franchises. Is is any wonder that almost no body like these corporations anymore?
  • Disney not having a coherent three-movie storyline before filming the first movie and not having a reunion of arguably the three most beloved sci-fi characters in history was inextricably stupid beyond belief.

    The Chris Stuckman shade was just 👌👌👌👌👌

    Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped.
  • Remember the wise words of Rich and Mike: "How does it feel to have lived long enough to see all your favorite franchises go down in flames?"
  • I’m calling it now. The Rey spinoff film will be the Star Wars equivalent to The Marvels.

    Damn, that jab at Chris Stuckman 😂 Right on target
  • @Flash4ML
    The only bad thing about Andor is the fact that it has the “star wars show” label. Give credit where credit is due, Tony Gilroy and his team have done something special there

    To me, Star Wars died the moment they announced that the EU was non-canon after the Disney merger. Not only did Disney throw away their cheat sheet for pre-established lore, but also willfully threw away many people's hard work, while Kathleen Kennedy can prop up her narcissistic self-interest fan fictions. That just doesn't sit right with me.

    God, can you imagine Rey trying to train a new generation of Jedi? Padawan: What lesson today, master. Rey: No lessons, you're just going to pick up this lightsaber and be the bestest ever. Just like I did.
  • I loved the comment on Stuckman's reviews. "And the result is that I trust their announcements of new projects about as much as I trust Chris Stuckman to deliver honest, passionate and insightful movie review". Brilliant.

    We were the outsiders and we were tormented for our love of Star Wars and then it was mainstreamed to be made "for everyone". Now, were the outsiders and were tormented for our love of Star Wars.

    Somehow there are people on Twitter/X that still savagely defend Disney Star Wars. Absolute insanity.
  • @MrMoridinalthor
    They've gotten to a point where it's not even worth the time to pirate, let alone pay money for.
  • @daboz8753
    Honestly, were it not for the delightful notifications from YT that you’ve posted a video…I’d not even know Star Wars was even still a thing. I’ve gone from disappointment, anger, disinterested apathy…to outright just forgetting it exists altogether.
