Rumours are doing the rounds that Star Wars The Acolyte on Disney+ is only getting one season, and that plans for further seasons have been scrapped after the massive backlash to the first trailer.
They will say ANYTHING to keep their jobs and continue getting paid... And lets be honest, so would you if you were in their shoes, considering the RIDICULOUS wages they are getting.
They have blamed the "trolls" for every projected of theirs that's failed. At some point you have to acknowledge that maybe these supposed trolls are actually your customer base trying to communicate to you.
They've come to believe their own propaganda that anyone who ventures any unfavourable view on something they hold dear is merely a "troll". They don't believe there *are* any legitimate criticism of anything they say or do: and so they keep doing the same thing again, and again.
@@archstanton9073yep, it won't matter if they lose money as Disney is being funded by Vanguard and Blackrock to push woke agenda, inversion of what normal to brainwash the youth and social engineering. A weak and dumbed down society is easily controlled.

I mean, is it not? No general audience-type person gives a flying 🦆 about hitting the dislike button, and yet somehow a crappy scene from a crappy Zack Snyder movie won the Oscar for most memorable movie scene of all time thanks to “aggressive trolling.” It’s not that far-fetched to think this was, too.
Like others have said, I’m almost certain she’s built up quite the evidence folder on powerful creeps in Hollywood from her days as a coffee getter. Anyone even hints at firing her for incompetence will go down like Weinstein lol
Here's a theory: If they tried to fire her, she'd sue for wrongful termination based on gender. Bear in mind Disney HQ is in ultra-liberal California, so I see Disney getting wrecked by KK in court.
When you have assholes making lame "lol she's too ugly to rape amirite" jokes to an enthusiastic audience don't be surprised when they dismiss you as "aggressive trolls" and also drag reasonable, adult critics of Disney along with you.
@@aahzmandiaz2767 I only started noticing modern fan-baiting starting about 10 years ago. When GamerGate kicked off that's when it went into overdrive. Bioware tripped over itself on social media to spew bile over its fans and slap pride stickers on everything. Bioware already wasn't doing well but they haven't produced a single successful game since that era, and I'm firmly convinced it was them being so aggressively anti-gamergate combined with collapsing into EAs anus that made it so they're now basically defunct.
Yeap. That's also why the jig is up. Everyone knows they're gonna get nothing but a lecture by default now. And since our buddy Larry Fink can't social engineer to an empty room? He can't keep tryna force behaviors like this.
I'm amazed they were even considering a second season before the first one is even out. I kinda miss the old days where they would see how the show was received BEFORE going all in.
Back when they knew their business ran on customer interaction with their product. When they would never spit on their customers, attack them, call them racist and sexist for not watching their products. Hollywood is a woke cult infestation pit now, and anybody in that cult always loses any sensibilities and intelligence. Hollywood no longer cares about their audiences viewpoints.
@@archstanton9073 However, those 10 episodes cost way more than their 20 ep predecessors. A single episode of She-Hulk cost $25 million, almost the entire budget of a single season of Star Trek TNG. With that much money on the line, they need to be a little more restrained with their decision making.
@@buckiemohawk3643I agree! When the story suddenly has him getting arrested, he goes to the workshop and stands there just watching them work forrrrrever! I was expecting to see him staring at weak points or formulating an escape but he just stood there. Then there was the passing of time with his sentence and I was just done.
I'm surprised they stopped doing that when it's more financially stable. At least start with a pilot, and then mass release the rest of the season when you know audiences are already interested.
Knghts of the Old Republic 2 already told this story about the meaning of “good” and the meaning of “bad” and how being “good” can corrupt just as much as being “bad”. Disney Star Wars does not have the talent to tackle a story as complex as who gets to wield power.
SWTOR 2 is my favourite Star Wars story for this reason. All about morally grey characters and potential redemption. I've always wanted to see it as a TV series, but the current Disney/Star Wars execs would completely butcher it. Such a shame.
Because it would require them to tackle themes that are critical of them as an overall company. They simply do not have the empathy to write a story like that
@@hisairness5628 again, I would go further and say the current people that write Star Wars aren’t smart enough to write that story without some massive contrivance to get themselves out of the hole they wrote themselves into.
The Acolyte is the culmination of what those within Lucasfilm want Star Wars to be and for that reason within Lucasfilm they are not going to cancel season 2 unless the higher ups or shareholders start saying that Star Wars now needs a change of direction
Lucas backed Kennedy by backing Iger. This was to push investors to stay the course. It won't be over until Chapter 11, Star wars is absolutely D-E-D DED
Agreed. Disney really should just order 13 or less episodes and wait to see if the show is as popular as they think it may be before giving it a full season, let alone a second one.
The thing ruining current Disney is the, "Yeah, but she's the real hero" storytelling. They are doing it in Marvel, they are doing it with Pixar(Lightyear as an example) and they are doing it with Star Wars- even in this series they were using, "Hey, we got the guy from Squid Games", but watch how quickly he gets sidelined for the female characters in the series.
If they do get second season it’s because they already had a 2 season deal. Disney loves doing this they know the show sucks but secretly has 2 seasons paid for then they say it got another season due to popularity it’s smoke and mirrors
The crux of streaming sites unfortunately. At least TV pilots were picked up or dropped based on REAL audiences, and not this facade of suspect subscriptions, bought and paid reviewers and creative accounting? Like you said, it’s a giant shell game, in which they can manipulate whatever number suits them.
To be honest there is a way to make the monster of the week style work but it requires actual skill and effort just look at Super Sentai, Kamen Rider and Ultraman franchises.
@georgeray1906 It worked for Supernatural well enough, at least up to season 5, which is the most I've watched, and it was an excellent point to leave the show.
Star Trek was, for the most part, episodic, with many overarching story lines throughout its many runs. I see no reason why this couldn’t work for a show in uncharted Star Wars territories.
For the older fantasy and sci fi fans - we've seen the "we're going back to short form storytellng" again and again. It really isnt a solution for bad writing.
It’s kinda crazy when you step back and look at it all. Star Wars could have made Disney a juggernaut in the movie industry. But no, the message is more important bc angry woke women infested the industry like cockroaches. Weak men like George are to blame!
Why are you lying? Disney has made $13.2 billion since buying Star Wars for $4b back in 2012. In case you can't do maths, that's *triple* the initial investment, which might not sound like much, but in the entertainment industry that's actually very impressive when so many things can go wrong and flop.
@@mattandrews2594 A simple Google search showed their stock price has crumbled as much as 60% in the last few years. Doesn't sound like a company that is financially healthy.
Back in the day, major flops would have MASSIVE implications for their studios.. or sometimes the entire film industry. When Cleopatra (1960s) flopped, *every* studio immediately scaled back their grand/historical epic-type films; Waterworld was ridiculed for YEARS after it's failure. Fast forward to now, and studios can lose $50M, $100M.. even $200M(!!) on consecutive projects - and STILL not bat an eyelash. It's really quite something
I'm guessing it's because the studios aren't the sole financial backers of these foolish endeavors. These movies are backed by several outside firms, so the losses get distributed and made into tax write-offs.
A popular misconception about Waterworld is that it was seen as a flop, when in actual fact it only did badly in the US, in the rest of the world it made its money back and made a tidy profit too.
There’s more going on here than people are aware of. Social engineering is how the controllers steer the course of cultural development. It’s been happening for decades but now has entered escape velocity, ergo it’s pretty obvious except folks aren’t putting the clues together. It’s in everything.
@@michaelwills1926 holy crap dude. there is no grand cabal of control. take off that tinfoil hat and go for a walk. the world is messy, there is no more complicated explanation than 8 billion people just trying to muddle through.
Current Disney/Lucasfilm is creatively bankrupt at this point. Star Wars was a money printing machine when Disney purchased the IP from Lucas. Somehow they found a way to screw that up with their incompetence and hubris. I still love Star Wars (the OT and the EU), but i am completely apathetic to anything "Disney Star Wars" at this point, they killed it.
It still is a money printing machine. Disney have literally made triple what they paid for the license back in the 00's. On purely financial measures it's been a staggering success, and spoiler alert, that's the only measure they care about.
What happened to the story about how Leslye BANKRUPTED the production LLC for the first season? or was it the studio? Someone lost some major money on this wet fart, and they are NOT talking about it.
She's the "Yes, yes!" woman from that Star Wars Celebration video when they were talking about diversity in The Acolyte. So you know it's going to be dogshit.
Imagine if McDonald’s stop serving burgers and fries and started selling water and fresh fruit? Their business would plummet, this is the same as what Disney are doing but rather than change what they are doing they just label all the passionate fans, I would gladly pay £10 a month to Disney if they produced great content but I unsubscribed two years ago from Disney+ and I have no regrets.
It's only going to stop when it reaches the point that they're literally just advertising to their own bots and no one else. (They can't social engineer to an empty room. So eventually? It will fizzle out.)
Star Wars used to be an epic event. Downsizing the live action to several different stories all leap-frogging forwards and backwards in the timeline has made it the annoying neighbor that won’t go home. And because the writing is very poor, it has become insufferable.
yep, Disney is being funded by Vanguard and Blackrock to push woke agenda on the youth and social engineering. A weak and dumbed society is easily controlled .
It's like watching a car wreck about to happen! You don't want to see it cause you know it's gonna be bad, but you can't look away and are morbidly drawn to see the carnage about to unfold!!! It's unfortunate that star wars has come to this! SMMFH! 😔
The Star Wars timeline is all over the place, its hard to stay invested/care about a story when one show is 100 years prior, one show is 20 years prior, one is like 10 years etc. on top of the shows/movies just being terrible to begin with
Saw a post that calls fans "ungrateful." Because we should be grateful to a show made by a well-documented narcissistic misandrist that never watched a Star Wars movie... I mean, there's gaslighting and then there's Disney gaslighting.
I watched 4K77 the other day. It was a window into an era when I still cared. I sometimes find an old Star Trek novel from the early 1980s and it reminds me of how simple things were with Star Trek and Star Wars were back then. Star Trek had three seasons, a cartoon series and three movies. Star Wars had three movies, Ewoks, and Droids. And the comicbooks and novels of both Trek and Wars were wildly imaginative and made their universes bigger and more interesting than many of the subsequent films and TV series did.
Too late. They've already released one trailer and announced a release date. To quote The Critical Drinker: But just like a post-Kabob turd, it had to come out at some point...
I gave up on the witcher, house of the dragon, foundation, star trek, starwars. Didn't even bother watching halo. Its just the same people telling the same story, the only thing that changes is the costumes. I've checked out
I dunno. The Phantom Menace trailer is one of the best trailers of all time. The movie itself is bad but the trailer is a work of art in and of itself.
At this point how can they still pull one over on people by saying it's just aggressive trolls? Have they not seen a direct correlation between movies tanking and poor reception to trailers? It's not like it's ever been the case where a trailer gets review bombed and the movie makes bank.
I haven't watched anything after The Last Jedi. After that I was done with Star Wars, wouldn't even watch it for free, let alone give Disney+ money for a subscription or pay for a movie in a theater. You're absolutely right about the apathy. People say Endor and Mandalorian were good... I couldn't care less.
Partially due to buyers demanding it but also a fundamental misunderstanding- Many in TV have a problem right now wanting to make things episodic while still having serialized storylines. You can’t do it, if you do you take away the upside from both styles and it’s a mess and it becomes serialized no matter what.
"We need to move away from long-form storytelling." "The era of 'Game of Thrones' is over". It's amazing the convolutions they'll go through to delude themselves that they haven't done anything _wrong_ , isn't it...?
8:30 - They would never go KOTOR because 1) they would have to live up to the fan expectations, and 2) they would have to pay someone royalties, which they hate (think of Allen Dean Foster).
My feelings for Star Wars can be summed up as follows: we had a wonderful wedding and many years of happiness. Than we had a falling out with the prequels but we held on. Than came the sequels and that is when we divorced. Now I check on her profile every now and then just to find out that she joined scientology.
Blaming the trolls for the lack of an audience is incredibly dishonest. If they had a good show people would be watching. Mainstream media and the Mother organizations (with government support) did everything they could to end metal music, and gangster rap. But those albums gave the fans what they wanted and the audience grew in spite of the 'trolls'. If these were good shows, no matter what the trolls did or said, would not keep the fans from viewing them. The shows are bad, that's why no one is watching. It is that simple of an explanation.
8:24 NO! They should absolutely NOT visit the knights of the old republic era! They would completely butcher the story of my boy Revan and his space adventures with his Jedi babysitter!
Exactly. It's been all downhill since then. These diehard prequel defenders are delusional. The only good Star Wars movies are: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. Period.
The last time I was excited for Star Wars was Rogue One. I watched The Lost Jedi in case it was an improvement over The Farce Awakens. Laugh at me, I deserve it.
You made a great point - I'm also apathetic to Star Wars. And don't even mention the Old Republic. I'm to the point where I don't want Disney doing any more Star Wars. Leave it alone, don't touch it. Don't ruin it any further.
Fanfiction is hollywood's new script! No, that's an insult to fanfiction. At least fanfics have some people who are way more interested in the different fandoms of shows that they're not familiar with!
