Has Disney Star Wars Ruined The Jedi? | Forbes Magazine Reacts to The Acolyte 

Disney has ruined the Jedi, princesses, Indy, pirates, and their reputation for generations to come.

Disney didn’t just ruin the Jedi. They have ruined the entire Star Wars IP. IM DONE WITH DISNEY STAR WARS.

Bob doing his utmost best to destroy Walt's company

The Acolyte didn’t ruin the Jedi but The Last Jedi certainly did damage to the brand and the shows afterwards didn’t help. Lol

From what you picked out, It seems that Eric isn't willing to point out that Disneyland Lucas film actively higher and allow to be hired people that know nothing about Star Wars or actively hate. The world and more that George created, as well as the fans of what George created.

The Jedi were ruined after The Last Jedi, this is just more fuel in the Disney SW dumpster fire. Glad to see more people cover Erik Kain's articles, seems like he is one of very few in mainstream media who is willing to say that Disney SW has overall been crap.

You probably had the best take. There was a scale or a galaxy that you felt apart of and wanted to discover. The Acolyte feels like some sound stage.

Roundhead Kennedy's "The Last Jedi" ruined the Jedi, and destroyed Star Wars. Everything else is just icing.

I believe Disney is getting exactly what they want

Breaking lore over and over ruins everything.

I think we are all nostalgic by nature and we like our heroes in Star Wars and other franchises to be who they are. I also think Jon Favreau understands this and that’s why Ironman and the Mandalorian’s first 2 seasons were well excepted by the fans. The idea of someone changing our hero’s into something else is not what the fans want.

I read a lot of people saying the Jedi were ruined by the Prequels - I disagree, though I do understand the logic. I think George was trying to emphasize how utterly evil and powerful Sidious was, and thereby show how easily any civilization can slip into tyranny via a protection scam. The Jedi were complacent due to their innate benevolence. This can happen to any benevolent being since the nature of positivity is to trust in the innate goodness of others. In other words, the Jedi couldn't see Palpatine's machinations, and that was the lesson of the prequels as stories.

Disney ruined the Jedi, the Force-they've ruined Star Wars! At the heart of George's trilogys was the "Man vs Machine" myth. A cautiotionary tale. Disney has ignored that completely which is ironic as we're currently at the dawn of the whole AI era. The people creating Star Wars now aren't very bright. All they do is look at what's happening in the social media sphere and use that as inspiration. They have no vision and can't see beyond that. No wonder Star Wars is going down the sink-hole!

They didn’t ruin anything, because it is not canon.😊

The Prequels featured a lot of jedi, but most of them were in the background. The main cast of each prequel movie had only two jedi characters.

media is the plural of medium, medias is latin for middle

It's not only the saturation of EXCESSIVE, TALENTLESS and unremarkable Jedi, but there's no effort earned through the process. Meaning just about anyone can become one, and their duels are mire like street fighting, with little finesse. Now, once displayed and carried with pride... lightsabers are an ineffective weapon whose novelty is unfortunately a lackluster cliche. Pathetic cast poorly fight with them and their duals are so ridiculous, as lightsabers serve little purpose, since they no longer kill those wounded because if stabbed with a lightsaber it no longer serves the purpose of destroying the enemy or putting to death the person who is pierced. They've taken something unique like the force and the beauty of Star Wars and cheapened it horribly.

after seeing how they destroyed the story after episode 7,8,9 how is anyone surprised 😂 and you keep supoorting disney by watching the garbage they put out

Mr. Kain is giving you a set up for Skeleton Crew. The problem with Acolyte is story and meaningful character development. The Acolyte presents characters as if they are trading cards with stats. Our relationship with the characters is a transaction and there is no investment by the writers beyond the paper they are printed on. Have Hope fans!

I just read the whole article. Some very good points. Now, if only Disney (and others) would read, digest, and take note, and maybe do some soul searching, a change could be on the way. Too much to hope for? Yeah, perhaps it is. Oh well.

Imagine wanting to ruin the Jedi, the thing that you want people to pay to LARP in your theme park. It’s a bold strategy indeed.

Dear Disney, FOR THE LOVE OF DISNEY, please STOP releasing more episodes of The Acolyte creating more damage to the Star Wars brand and to your own company. STOP the insanity, halt all streaming of The Acolyte, press the "DELETE" button on this entire series and FIRE Kathleen Kennedy/Leslye Headland/Dave Filoni/Amandla Stenberg!!! Disney, show some RESPECT to Star Wars fans by canceling The Acolyte DISASTER!

It's not more is less, it's the writing sucks, we've played knights bt bioware, we've read the comics from Dark horse, THEY WERE WRITTEN BETTER

Trump, Disney, Fenanthyl, Maga, Woke, DIE, and all the other unfathomable acronyms... well America in the full flight. Looking from the outside begs a following question: why are you guys surprised?

KENNEDYFILM (Not Disney) "Star Wars" has damaged the brand. However, it has not destroyed LUCASFILM Star Wars because it is not that. This is a cheap imitation that is made by activists, not talented creatives. The lack of enthusiasm and the amount of criticism shows that the Lucasfilm Star Wars CUSTOMERS are not happy what KENNEDYFILM has made. This is exactly like how Rings of Power is not TOLKIEN Lord of the Rings. Not because we see too much, but because what we are getting is of an inferior and ineffective quality. That is what diminishes the property. The incompetence of those responsible for making it. Not for what it is, which is a preachy cringefest that is on the level of what a 10 year-old would write, but everything that it is not. That being engaging, compelling, and faithful to the universe that LUCAS and other talented creatives established over decades.

*C'mon Bro...* 🤨 Disney Star Wars ruined the Jedi just like my mid-morning fart ruined my new boxer shorts. Both are left stained and tarnished and will never be the same again. 🌅😖💨🎶💩🩳... 😳🤧 *"NUFF SAID"™*

walt disney will not be happy in heaven about what disney has become now

I think he's partially right. But the biggest issue isn't so much that we're getting "too much" Jedi; it's that we're NOT GETTING Jedi at all, but a bad interpretation by Disney who have it all wrong. Even the Prequels had great ideas but poor delivery, which is a fair criticism. But when it's done right, where listening to Yoda explain about the dark-side, about feeling the Force around you, seeing Luke shape himself based on that dogma...it's a religion. It's faith. When Luke is written right in the Expanded Universe, his superpowers aren't just there to be cool--he literally reflects on how and why the Force led him to a certain point, because he's a religious character. Married, not married, conflicted by his views of the Force and the limited information about the Old Order that remains--that makes it compelling. Jedi aren't Marvel characters with cool abilities, but Disney sure treats them that way.

Although I get what this Forbes guy is trying to say, I also have to disagree with that the more Jedi we got the lesser they became. The problem is quality, or rather lack of quality, not quantity. No one felt the Jedi were lesser during the Prequels. Flawed, yes, but that was also the entire plot point. But they sure are lesser now with Disney SW, even if it has no meaning to any plot. And that is the result of very bad writing & my strong belief that they = Lucasfilm - are doing everything to literary make the Jedi into actual bad guys. After TLJ there is even a phenomenon I call "the Luke Skywalker treatment." That means you once were a beloved hero, now you are a soar looser that has given up & we get no explanation as to why or a very bad explanation that makes no sense & is all out of character. Obi-Wan got this exact same treatment for sure. We expected a fallen hero suffering from PTSD but that had never given up. What we got was an Obi that had given up, that had forgotten that he's doing his vital mission in collaboration with Yoda which wasn't even mentioned by name on the show, as if he suddenly doesn't exist. When Luke was allowed to be his true heroic self on Mando the whole world cheered & we dared to believe SW was back. We loved the live-action introduction of Ahsoka on the Mando show as well, but as soon as she got her own show she was suddenly weak, disoriented, needed a lesson from Force Ghost Anakin without ever explaining to us what even her problem was. And the Ahsoka show failed miserably because now everyone is a Jedi because everyone has the Force. Maybe the Forbes guy was right? And now on the Acolyte we get fat Jedi, incompetent Jedi, Jedi that exist before they are meant to be even born, Jedi that show no respect for their masters, Jedi that wear robes that do not look like Jedi robes, Jedi Masters that don't know how to fight but their Padawans can, we get Jedi that think they are regular cops, we get Jedi that willingly commit suicide... the list just goes on & on. The Jedi in Disney SW, with very few exceptions, are clowns. They are close to being evil. They are incompetent. They are foolish. They are cowards & have no trouble giving up on a life of duty & service to the Force. No one follows the Jedi Code anymore. And let's not forget about Wonder Force God Rey Palpatine that can do everything on her first try perfectly & we still to this day don't know why she even wanted to become a Jedi in the first place, while both Anakin & Luke told us already in their first installments. And Rey can also use the Dark Side on a whim without consequences since she is clearly immune to any temptation - so why should we care for her story? Especially since Rey only uses her powers & abilities to save her own butt & her closest circle of friends. Compare Rey to Anakin & most certainly to OT Luke & Rey is not exactly a real definition of a hero, no matter how much KK wants her to be. The Jedi now lack meaning & purpose. They lack honor. They fight only for themselves, behave far more like Sith in many cases. They are no longer these awe inspiring role models for us. And that was not exactly what anyone in the world back in 1977 believed of the Jedi when Luke decided to come along with Obi-Wan to become a Jedi. Nor did any of us see them as pitiful clowns when Luke was being taught by Yoda on Dagobah & was being told to have faith after seeing his X-Wing being raised from the swamp. No one regarded Luke as a pathetic looser & coward on the Second Death Star when he resisted the temptation of the Dark Side, refused to kill his father & looked Palpatine in the eyes & told him that he is a Jedi like his father before him. Not a single person in the world in 1983 ever believed that young hero would be regarded as a failed looser at the end of 2017. The Jedi are NOT what they used to be. And they are on purpose being transformed into something they never were meant to be. Villains. Losers. Failures.

Let’s not forget Erik Kain ridiculously gushing over Rings of Power when it first came out. He just LOVED Commander Galadriel and couldn’t stop going on about her. I do not for one second believe the claims that he changed his mind, yeah sure. I read what he said. But I do think that maybe the shilling broke him a little bit and now he’s full on hostile to all of this trash. But I’m never going to trust the guy. He shows he can be purchased.

We would like to see the Jedi before the Clone Wars, not tricked into being soldiers by Palpatine, just keepers of the peace, like Qui Gon and Obi Wan were in Phantom Menace. The Acolyte makes the Jedi look less like they were tricked into protecting the Republic against the Separatists, and more like they were power mad dictators. Disney wants us to believe the Sith are not any more evil than the Jedi, which is Palpatine's temptation of Anakin. Disney uses Sith logic, hence being the Satanic inversion of Lucas' original message that even the good can be temped by the devil. Disney is the Devil himself.

No, toxic star wars fans have ruined the jedi. All your hate and jumping to conclusions are all easily debunked. Maybe move on with your lives. And leave Star Wars for the actual fans, not the pathetic click-baiters who can’t let go like toddlers throwing a tantrum

Disney Kk and the head got lost after they decided to ignore what had already been established in previous Star Wars episodes, In favor of making the story about DEI and not Star Wars. Then, announcing that Star Wars was not for men and complaining when men decided to take her at her word and not watch it. kk, and the head could still have organically entered DEI to the story, but they decided to take the heavy-handed approach and proclaim how groundbreaking and modern Disney has become. And if the fans rejected Disney's approach, it was because the toxic fan base is racist homophobic sexists, and all of the other buzz words except the real reason. Which is because they turned the reigns over to unqualified, unprofessional, narcissistic dolts who always know better.

UT stop throttling Valliant's channel, its been showing 67k for over a month, seriously.

It’s a massive disappointment how the Star Wars brand has been destroyed. Never would have imagined that Hollywood elite like Kathleen Kennedy could willfully destroy the biggest IP in the history of cinema and all of her peers are like this is great. We love what you’re doing. Don’t listen to the fans you know better. It blows my mind.

Darth Kennedy has ruined the Jedi totally. Disney ruined ALL of it. Even their own live action remakes of their OWN animated films. All they had to do was treat the animated movies as story boards and bring the magic to LIFE.

Disney has ruined everything! This is not my Disney! I spend my money at universal and other park. If they clean house at Disney and get it somewhat back to normal we’ll come back! Until then my family cannot support this dumpster fire

Ruining the Jedis is the KK’s tradition. Her women in her Star Wars have to be demi-gods or more so they have enough power to satisfy the feminist agenda. That makes the KK’s Star Wars a thing about power not about the good and evil. Good or bad is meaningless in her universe and that kills the Jedis idea. They become useless at best but generally toxic. They have to be killed and destroyed. Meaning is out of the KK’s frame. She has no story to tell. I suspect the first version of her trilogy has Finn playing an important role and he was sidelined and eliminated. He could have brought meaning in the film so he had to be discarded. The way his character looks now is worse than being dead. Maybe he was killed and I do not care.

No they haven’t because Disney Star Wars in NOT even deserving to be called Star Wars…NOT canon.

I hate Disney Star Wars!!!! I'm still pissed at George Lucas for selling it!!! He was more than rich enough for him and his family to be set for generations. It saddens me beyond belief that what I loved and grew up on has become this mouse house of absolute shit 😔

"Has Disney ruined the jedi?" Well, I don't know, is the Pope Catholic?

I had never seen such an aggressively annoying amount of promo ads for disney+ before, as I do now. They're so desperate, the algorithm is throwing ads at anything having the word disney on it, like this video, nerdrotic & critical drinker 😂😂😂

At least these Jedi lasted longer then the poor, useless Jedi accompanying Mace to confront Palpatine. Not sure they lasted a second and I believe they were members of the council as well? Bad writing and actions everywhere.

The reaction to this show was always obvious. So it must have been the intention.

I have to disagree with the prequels and ahsoka as well as obiwan they are good. Love the prequels they were Lucas's visions. Obiwan was compressed to much so it suffered a bit. We got to see a struggling soldier in obiwan after all he saw sealing with ptsd and finding himself again.. as for ahsoka again some minor issues mostly with Sabine she was too powerful with the force once she tapped it. But aside from that I loved. We had connections with the clone wars and rebels as well as getting Hayden anakin back. I think if they get certain elements not interfering with the story telling in season 2 it will be great. The acolyte is absolute garbage on every level. It is forced adjenda and disrespectful to the heart of star wars.

Need to edit your video title, VR, and remove the second "Has".

And the push pull of Forbes continues. Their fight reflects our fight and they want us to keep fighting. There is no reason to keep to diametrically opposed reviewer‘s on the staff except to promote contention and conflict. And we know who the disingenuous one is.

Stopped watching after the first episode of asokha. Done! Now I just watch critiques and laugh at this woke dumpster fire

It only ruins the Jedi is this filth remains in what Disney considers canon. Once we scrub it from canon, it should be fine. Assuming the replacement material isn't woke too.

The other problem is Jedi are just too weak now that is one of the issues with the prequels like that one master that jango shot with easy every Jedi should be almost a 1 man army go look at the Old Republic trailers they should be fast strong and throwing around 10 ton rocks flinging trees and using more obscure abilities like fire or invisibility. These Jedi are just lame.

Disney ruined ALL of it. Even their own live action remakes of their OWN animated films. All they had to do was treat the animated movies as story boards and bring the magic to LIFE. But they messed it all up. To me. it's simple. Disney Star Wars is not real Star Wars so it's not canon and I can ignore it.

Well, let’s see what written wrong with the acolyte. Shitty acting shitty writing shitty show running mismanagement malfeasance and can’t even pay their female staff equal to accelerated pay but yet screams at everyone else that there has to be equal pay for females oh and let’s not forget the person that orchestrated this train wreck besides Kathleen Kennedy, Leslie Headland, who had to find a vehicle for her wife and was Harvey Weinstein‘s personal assistant, a man that is despised in Hollywood they had a whole movement named after him, but yet she gets out of it without being touched why someone should remind Kathleen and Leslie that fraud is a felony

Disney and kk just destroyed the beautiful work that million loved and killing the past story and past characters and the new version is completely female oriented kk and Daisy head don’t care original story and they don’t care for their fanbase

What went wrong was making new star wars movies and show

We've been telling Disney what is wrong for years and they just ignored the fans and carried on with "The message".

Of course Bob and Kathleen Vader want to destroy the Jedis, that's what evil emperors do

Gordon Bennett, yes Jedi, all of Star Wars is dead. All of Star Wars is dead Dave.

They’ve ruined everything they got their hands on. The worst part, it’s all intentional.

The Jedi are lame and corny. I suppose they were cool once for older fans.

All we can do is pretend this show never existed

What went wrong with Star Wars? Disney.

Thanks, this is a great take with this article!

Bad writing ruined everything

Yes.

What went wrong is 64% did not watch it. Also, every studio stuck with DEI and ESG. Why not pick on Paramount. Universal, Columbia and other studios? This series is the POV of the Sith.

6:55 - inexplicable character shifts - you just complained about “show don’t tell”, then immediately complain when the “show” goes over you heads and the decision wasn’t “told” to you 😂 It is incredibly obvious why Mae “seems to change her mind”. Clearly previous episodes have showed us why characters are shifting priorities… BUT there is also information we don’t know which seperates each twins version of events the day of the fire… But show don’t tell right?? 😉😂🤡🤡

Again, as a professional writer you MUST have all of your proverbial "ducks in a row" before you start writing. It is an essential step when crafting your narrative and the world around it. Research and planning, even for a "Gardener" like George Martin, are required. You cannot just make things up as you go, flying blind and making decisions that contradict previous decisions, that is just lazy and sloppy writing. These "so called" writers are insulting those of us out here waiting for our shot. Mine is coming next year, but I am in the top 1% of writers.

Agree with most of what Erik said. It helps to fill out why the "feel" is missing. They seem to debase every single character. Lucasfilm has: - Management, rather than leadership - No sense of cost control or value proposition - Weak selection of senior creatives, and endless bureaucratic entanglements of same - Weak connection of budget and financing inputs to product performance and revenue - Poor faith reception of feedback And there's also a downside... they're a division of Disney.

Though that in England we’d never heard of Kenner until the ESB figures arrived… it was all Palitoy. When ESB came out we had some figures on Kenner cards but most were still Palitoy. I grabbed Lando on a Kenner card in 81simy because it was so rare to me and I had no idea what Kenner was! (Having been collecting the figures since 78).

I wanted The Acolyte to be a series from the Sith POV,their motivations,what makes them tick... instead we received this lore breaking crap... I would like more series that explores the SW Universe that doesn't always involve the Jedi or Sith like the excellent Andor...

I mean the prequels had already weakened Jedi significantly, but Acolyte Episode 5 is just absurd. 10 Jedi vs one “Sith” and they basically get annihilated.

I'd rather go back to the story of 1-6 where the story was about the Skywalker family. Its Disney who mucked that up with the sequel making the Skywalker story be reduced to at first Rey nobody story, which wasn't great, but it is what it is. And worse a Rey Palpatine story.

It's the writing and the writers that's bad. Current writers are incredibly shallow and all seem to have their own agenda which is their prime motivation for their writing. It's not confined to Star Wars. Rings of Power, as is rightly pointed out, suffers from the same thing, and further afield, "Foundation" on Apple TV, and others. What Tolkien, Asimov and Lucas had going for them is that they are/were master story tellers, above all else. They spent time crafting the story and characters, and the worlds they inhabit, so the whole thing becomes a cohesive, credible whole that you become invested in, want to return to, and care about. They had good, original ideas. Go back to Edgar Rice Burroughs and his Mars novels - he single handedly invented most of the concepts in modern Sci Fi - read the original books - he tells really great stories, filled with new ideas that were unlike anything that had come before. I've read them all, and I can tell you, it's a crying shame what happened to "John Carter of Mars" and that we'll never get to see any more from that series. Star Trek: TOS even employed actual Science Fiction writers for the stories, and it shows - that's why it's held in such high regard - it's the stories. But we are where we are - hack, agenda-driven writers, who have no care for the source material, employing the same tired and flimsy tropes over and over again, because that's either all they have, or what's required of them. It's no surprise that we've got the insipid drivel that is "The Acolyte" - it's depressingly predictable in fact. Finally, a couple of paraphrased quotes: "This show is both good and original - but the original parts aren't good, and the good parts aren't original" And Dorothy Parker: "This is a show that should not be put aside lightly. It should be thrown aside, with great force".

They've spent the last 10 years muddying the waters of good and evil, but always trying to sympathise with the people displaying bad behaviour to kids across all their IPS. Everything that comes out of that putrid sphincter that is the American film industry gives me the creeps.

Lucasfilm, as currently composed, doesn't understand the universe the force or Jedi. Disney Star wars is high budget cosplay and fan fiction.

Huh?!?!?! This article is saying less is more?! No, the writing is bad. The writers suck. We want in depth characters and stories of the jedi and lotr. We thought disney and amazon were gonna use billions to do that. This article is so far off.

They certainly quickened the death of an ailing franchise. It's quite evident when consumers aren't that interested in merchandise based on stuff outside the original trilogy. The OG trilogy continues to dominate the franchise's sales with items based on Darth Vader, OG Storm Troopers etc. while requests for the prequels and sequels items are hardly seen (not to mention the other offshoots).

I refuse to accept recent Disney Star Wars so I can always enjoy the Jedi in OT, the Prequels, Clone Wars and I’ll throw in Rebels.

I would disagree with Eric. We had a myriad of Jedi for 40 years, and they never were ‘not cool’. The reason Disney Jedi aren’t cool isn’t because we’re seeing too much of them. It’s because every new entry of them is an attempt to further deconstruct them.

Yes Disney ruins Jedi no question. However, in general having more Jedi on screen isn't bad. Episode 2 arena showed that even with their skills. the Jedi can be overrun by overwhelming numbers.

They pick and choose when follow Legends Canon One Episode we are not supposed to follow Master Ki Adi Mundi Birthday because it's Legend Another Episode We are supposed to follow Legends when Cortosis is used as the strangers armor and helmet

Even in the prequels, the Jedi, the Seth everybody they were three dimensional. You could understand them problem with the acolyte and pretty much in my opinion the problem with the Disney sequel trilogy in a lot of the stuff that Disney is put out on Star Wars it’s two dimensional and it just doesn’t make sense and the reason it doesn’t make sense is because they’re trying to push an agenda is contrary to what the Jedi represent see if they had made the sequel trilogy from the Sith point of view, it might have made sense in in a way, but because they chose to try to say a darker tone with and use that as the backdrop on the light side, they missed the mark because that’s not what the Jedi about. Bob didn’t understand Star Wars. He saw a shiny new toy that might print gobs of money for his business and when he got it, he goes I don’t understand this because this has boy brand written on it. And to make it more compatible with his logic, he just tried to change it and alter it . And pardon the pun here transition a boy brand into a girl brand so he could understand it better the problem when you try to do that to something that is well established as a particular brand you ruin it. Look at Star Trek Doctor Who that they’ve tried to do for the.” Modern audience.” Because essentially what they’re saying is the modern audience is female and they’re wanting to take all those masculine tight male rolls transition into women.. when you do something like this two things are going to happen. You’re going to lose your core audience and you’re not going to attract the audience you want to attract which is the female audience. You’re gonna push them away too because Star Wars is not what they’re looking for. They’re not looking for light sabers they’re looking for something else they’re looking for Gothic towers are looking for that night and shining armor and stuff like that but you put a put a modern take on it or not, you start altering something specially, something as well. Establish altering it and trying to fit it into your little niche groups. It’s not gonna work. It’s going to fail. It’s gonna fail spectacularly and continuing to do the same things expecting the audiences to come around and come back that’s insane.

Universal might be the Disneyland of this century. I can't wait to go to Super Nintendo World.

UT stop throttling Valliant's channel, its been showing 67k for over a month, seriously.

This is why fans wanted 1313 so bad. It was a Star Wars story that wasn't force based. We would get a glimpse of how people lived in this universe.

Mae switching sides is plainly stated as she will turn herself in because she can tell the jedi who she knows aka the stranger. With that knowledge she hopes to see her sister again , and also states that there is no way even the stranger could find them in the jungle in time to stop her . When she sees the stranger mowing down the other Jedi she tries to run away and gets dropped kicked by a jedi (Jecki) who then arrests her and accuses her of murdering her family at which point she goes into a rage fights and tries to kill her. I don't know about you but if I was dropped kicked by someone accused of murdering my family by the same group of people who may or may not have murdered my family. I'd be distrustful too , call it copiuim call it call it shilling I don't care cause in the end I enjoy the show.

How could they have expected this tripe to do well? The level of stupidity and self-absorption is bordering on unfathomable.

Modern Disney has lost their ability to create, only destroy. It's not just Star Wars we all know that. Star Wars was just the first and for whatever reason, Disney seems obsessed with completely obliterating every good thing about it.

The Jedi deserve better Lucas whole point of the prequels to show fall of the Jedi they follow the will of the republic instead of the force they wasn’t vigilant when evil shows up sure they were flaw but they had good intentions in the end. We could have what Jedi meant to be in a sequel trilogy with Luke jedi order but Disney ruined them by killing them off screen.

Interesting point, but one could also argue that the Jedi were already diminished in Episode 2 when so many of them fell to an army of droids on screen. This is long before the Acolyte ever existed.

Disney killed the golden goose. You can basically just make something from the books sell some merchandise and people will be screaming take my money.

I've always said that Disney (Brand) Star Wars has no sense of sweep. That means no sense of grandeur or gravitas. Disney Star Wars feels more like a cheap "Soap Opera" than a series of stories set in a galaxy near or far away.

Balan Skoll said: "I don't miss the Jedi. I miss the IDEA of the Jedi." So say we all.

They deliberately drove away we older fans, but the young ones didn’t show up to their revolution and I’m proud of them.

I really don't understand their motivation for any of this honestly....because it's not even making them money in the short term. It's more like suicide than it is short sightedness.

Ever sent that grogu didn't go with luck I knew that Disney just gutted star wars and kill Hon now I don't care anymore

Nothing a sell of Lucas Film and a focus on KOTOR couldn't fix, imo.

Over saturation has not led the coolness and mystic of the Jedi diminish, it is the writing, the actors and the whole agenda that works against certain stereotypes, so i cannot agree with that narrative steer that these current writers are not a bunch of agenda setting narcists.. there only is 4 or 5 decent star wars to this day, the OG 3 and maybe 1 or 2 of the others, phantom menace etc.... so that alone states the ship is being steered by the wrong crew...

Star Wars has become the Seinfeld of Sci-Fi. A nothing-story

I completely agree Valliant and I pray that Vader won't be touched any further
