Star Wars Is A Dead Franchise 

Remember how everyone hated the old expanded universe? like or hate it, it's still better than any of the shit disney has given us since TFA.

Well said...

*menstruate

​@@delta2372 That was the first sign they were going to ruin it. When they discarded ALL of it as "legends". There were better characters and stories by writers who respect the lore.

Uhhhhhh remember the Prequels. They were HATED when they were first released

Or Silicon Valley Bank.

@@rogersmith7396 **loses investment value** **proceeds to withdrawal more money**

Yeah, can you believe she’s made more money in the last few years than most good, hardworking people will make over their entire careers? Talk to me about equality.

It's as if a million Disney+ subscriptions cried out in pain and were suddenly cancelled.

It’s been dead ever since Disney got there corporate hands on it

definitely

And better put together

@@TriyambakMeena Nope the prequals were absolutely gold compared to the pile of shit which is modern star wars.

@@TriyambakMeena After george lucas sold star wars to disney, it became trash.

Rings of Power is maybe a better one. I think the money is actually the problem. If thy slashed the budget of Star Wars by about 80% they would need to focus on story and plot as there would be nothing else to play with.

you can buy talent though. and they probably have talented people. but in the end the decisions are made by the empty suits.

Just face it it’s a childish story and we all grow up !

Its the psg of movies

The only people that think it's good are the counterfeit genders.

I mean she was a divesity hire what did you expect(why women are considered a minority for hiring purposes despite outnumbering men is a mystery I will never understand probably because I'm trying to find logic where there is none)

Right "incompetence" don't fall for it, she is a Misandrist that knows exactly what she is doing.

Amen, brother!

perhaps it's not incompetence (that's just the excuse), and the ones actually paying her are very happy with her performance...

It's hard to fire a diversity hire... kinda like why employers are starting to avoid hiring people that use their pronouns on their resumes or applications: it's litigation waiting to happen.

@Spacetrooper Um, she was featured in Season 2 as Imperial officers serving Moff Gideon. Just think she's an undercover imperial agent, wait and see.

Scream 6 had some solid meta commentary on franchises and their obsession with tarnishing legacy characters and replacing them altogether. It's one of the dumbest phenomenons in all of Hollywood.

​@Spacetrooper person ally she isn't bad as character

Yah it was a little ridiculous. They did Luke's character so dirty in the follow up trilogy.

10/10 writing 😂

Lucas, probably. I'm convinced selling it to Disney was an intentional snub to be vindictive against all those "haters" he was so bothered about every time he released another shitty edit to his films

Yes, should have left the rest to imagination.

Apparently grogu was not supposed to be in season 3, they did reshoots after he was brought back too early in boba fett

strongly disagree. it didn't give the mandalorian enough closure on what will happen with the darksaber. the mandalorian's story is not just grogu being given to a jedi.

The other thing with the Mandalorian is that it's supposed to be more of a serial. It's heavily inspired by things like Jonah Hex, Renegade, Paladin and Usagi Yojimbo. It's supposed to be a slow burn that isn't pulling on your emotions all the time. That said it was clear Star Wars was dead with Kenobi. If you're going to have more bad going out than good and treat your legacy characters like that the franchise has no hope of recovery. Dave Filoni saved Star Wars twice but he's not a miracle worker.

Theres a theory going around which i pretty much agree that Grogu wasnt supposed to be on season 3, and this season was going to focus on reuniting the mandalorians, but since it was decided he needed to come back, the script was rewriten and the season feels all over the place

100% The power to make a fan completely apathetic is a kind of super-power.

When you simply can’t be arsed with her…no matter how fit she is.

Star Wars is actually not a dead franchise....we can now flip the script upon the radical secularizing republican freemasonic Jedi seeking their universal republic without national distinctions. The Empire are the good guys, despite the musings of Star Wars' authors: husband and wife. “A time will come when the enemies of Christ will boast: “We have subjected the earth and all its inhabitants, and the Christians cannot escape our hands.” Then a Roman Emperor will arise in great fury against them"-St. Methodius 5th and final kingdom ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_VdLCggbrh4.html&ab_channel=DarthPorg

Opposite of love isnt hate it’s indifference

@@darylwilliams7883 If you're a writer, it's called and editor!!

Most accurate analogy I’ve ever heard

Clever statement

Yes, and you'd think this woke group at Disney would value something like "sustainability"!

they wanted to get golden eggs and instead all they got was goose shit

@@counterterror101 Yes, and we certainly have not seen any "foie gras" get served up from Disney lately. ;D LOL

The sad part is that the fandom menace are holding out their hands towards the evil mouse, begging for more rotten eggs and trying to convince us all that they’re “akshually fresh.” Until Mando season 3, people like TCD, doomcock, and others were singing the praises of Disney Star Wars via Rogue One, Mando, and Andor. What happened? Did the stench become too much for even *them* to bare?

"...now it lays rotten eggs." Just like me

Well said

A space saga

Perfectly said. Boba Fett was not killed off, but the most feared, effective bounty hunter became a "crime lord" who does no crime whatsoever

Yeah and then he has to decide his kingdom or baby Yoda. Could be a hard emotional choice and make the series exciting

Did all that just to have it destroyed. Retarded af. Should have been Dins darksaber and maybe years down the line he dies and the darksaber is given to grogu. Imagine that a mandalorian, darksaber weilding grogu. No tho, let's just break it

Its the fact that theyve already told the same story in star wars rebels is what pisses me off im gonna be honest who really cares and wants bo katan to rule mandalore? She already tried and fucked it up wouldve been so much better if in the end it came down to a 1v1 with the darksaber between the two with Mando begrudgingly accepting the darksaber and Bo Katan to learn to be a follower was teased so hard at the end of 2 and its mishandled so poorly in 3

YES. It was so lame...

Tht really disappointed me too.

They don’t push the ‘message’ though

According to KrazzyKat this doesn't exist.😂😂😂😂

Disney will corrupt the books with strong female characters and the message. Just look at The Witcher has become

I would like to see an R rated movie inspired by some of the books. At that point, I don't know what they have to lose.

@@saberalter1586 What everything has become, basically.

Now that's something I may have to feel about Dr Who, since they announced that Disney is getting involved. The franchise has been in the toilet for years, and I quit watching, but this...I just don't know. [EDIT: I am a Star Wars fan, but as a Brit, Dr Who meant a lot more to me.]

A very funny retardation.

yo! but I think we need to give Rian Johnson more credit for writing this line. I think he was foreshadowing exactly the kind of Star Wars fatigue we're all feeling now with the theme of killing the past. We're all just catching up to it now

@@elstcman5 I think you're onto something there.

That’s how I feel about grogu

Every time I hear star war I get angered

Every time I hear star wars i think: what a shame, sigh and move on

"Those who forget..." I can't remember the rest of it. But seriously, Goethe was so absolutely right. You might not like the past, but without it you have no foundation for the present or the future.

When I heard that in the cinema watching the Last Jedi, it was so fucking out of place, it didnt feel like Star Wars and worse, it was not a Luke Skywalker thing to say. That movie was not good, and thats me saying it in a nicest way possible.

Yep. They are so much more entertaining

I agree, his reviews are amazing, however i do some reviews too on my channel so hop over for extra entertainment (;

Sorry to be that guy but you made this comment literally a minute after the video was uploaded, you had barely started the video even if you were watching it at 2x speed

Agreed!

@Spacetrooper what are you on bro

Absolutely agree

They... kinda already did that, in the first Season, with the episode with the prison ship...

I agree. I didn't care for season 2, but I did like the emotional goodbye with Mando and grogu, and they immediately retracted it. The show seems lost and aimless, like they don't know where they want to go. Which, my guess, they dont.

And in my opinion it wasn't planned when they started writing the season He serve no real purpose now, and sometimes seem static. In my opinion Kathleen Kennedy forced the showrunners to replace it in the book of Boba Fett

Like a magnificent seven kind of story. It's too repetitive. Season 3 has to be ballsy it has to have stakes. There's no stakes in this show

but that would require them to make strong and compelling male characters.... and we all know that "the force is female" i myself made peace with it that the closed i´m gonna get to seeing hk-47 in tv or movies was the droid in rogue one

Kyle Katarn

You mean (Darth) Revan? Better to not have Disney disgrace Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 as well at this point....those were the best Star Wars games alongside vanilla Star Wars Galaxies

@@Devilfish6666 yes after watching episodes 7 and 8 i´m scared of them discovering that they have a boatload of content they declared no longer canon that would make great shows/movies

No, the only thing that has proven successful, including Obi-Wan the series, which has 3x the viewers of the Mandalorian, is stories connected to the original Star Wars, meaning the Skywalker's. These random "super hero" characters don't sell. Star Wars is the story of Anakin Skywalker, and the rise of Palpatine. There are more than enough connected characters that can be developed.

You should have stopped being a Disney fan when you turned 16... you manchild.

I saw Star Wars when it first came out in 1977. I loved it so much that I collected everything I could. If someone had said back then that it would turn into a sloppy, feminist agenda driven mess with second-rate special effects and horrible writing, I would have thought it utter nonsense.

It's not just "hate"......it's a lack of trust; which is worse than hate.

Whatever happened to the phrase "the customer is always right"?

Around 2016

Pretty much😂

Gamefreak with Pokémon:

Disney is taking Star Wars from its historical fanbase and giving it to the Disney fanbase.

@@XParasiteOctoling can’t wait for Star Wars to be making the exact same content for the next 30 years.

Piggies do love their slop and Disney keeps chucking it out.

but one women can create shit faster than those hundred man ever dreamed of...

But this was one woman's vision. So your made up saying is worth bupkiss.

A camel is a horse designed by a committee

Will Disney these 100 man at least had respect to each other and were able to create stories that don't contradict each other and together made a great franchise, but all it took was one wiman and it all went to shit.

You know, that actually helps a little.

what an insult. you have a whole universe of sci-fi magic bullshit and you can't even bother to have any sort of justification as to why your antagonist is still alive? it's laughably pathetic. no wonder they wanted D&D to get their own movie, it sounds like they were in good company.

That does, indeed, make me feel better about a multitude of questionable decisions I’ve made.

Thats marxism for you.

@@taags Jesus Christ, there's always one! 😬🤦🏻‍♂️🤡

it's about sending *THE MESSAGE*

t's a free market. Nobody can force audiences to watch Transformers part 2,3,4,5 etc. or Matrix Part 75 or the Star Wars sequels or prequels. A lot of these movies are crap, but audiences lap them up. The fact is that mass audiences have low standards and are used to watching big budget special effects with little sense and non-existent storylines. That's why sequels do so well in the first place; audiences are to lazy for originality. Why are you watching Star Wars part 55 anyways? Go watch something new and original like Star Wars was in 1978! Audience is not part of the problem- the audience is the entire problem! Instead of whining about Star Wars part 10,000 the Critical Thinker should be pointing us in the direction of new, original storylines and movie making! It's a free market. Simply stop watching crap the big corporate capitalist studios put out. Improve the quality of demand and the quality of supply, put out by capitalist corporate studios will change automatically. Until then stop the whining.

@@khanchy You got it half right. A sequel to a movie doesn't automatically mean it is not original. You can have originality within a series. The problem is diversity hiring (hiring people based on quotas and firing those with merit but who are not minorities - basically affirmative action) the ESG companies (environmental, social, government impact of products taking precedence over whether the product is quality for customers - basically it is communism whereby the private sector is bullied into making woke products or else they get a low ESG score. Think of ESG rating as the same thing as the Social Credit Score but for businesses)...and the unions who can extort private sector by striking if they don't get what they want. (if pay is low the business has to move to country with low taxes or up the pay but it never ends because the dollar always gets weaker due to central bank constantly printing more money out of thin air and debasing it. So you need more dollars to buy the same things as the past before the dollar got weaker. Higher pay only grants you more dollars not more things you can buy with each dollar since businesses just raise the price of things to compensate for the central bank printing more dollars out of thin air. This is so businesses avoid giving things away for free. This devaluation of currency/dollars is known as monetary inflation and is the whole reason bitcoin was invented to park your wealth into a system where your wealth doesn't get robbed from you by central banks who just create money out of thin air, since bitcoin only goes up in value because it is finite rather than down in value which happens with your dollars.as.central banks keeping printing infinite amounts of.)

honestly 🤦🏽‍♂️

Ironic considering Favreau and Filoni have been bringing things in from all those "ignored" books.

Had the same point. Take a book , donot change anything and it'd be a hit.

Don't worry they will ruin those as well.

They know they have that, they just don't want to acknowledge it until they twist it enough to fit their own taste.

Andor 😂 but somehow it turned out to be good

And yet it’s the best Star Wars thing right now

Disney's sure riding that Rogue One goodwill for all it's worth.

@@Lonovavir Lets be honest they dont have riding of anything else.

And yet it's still peak.

They've *always* been good actually despite their obvious problems.

I would like to see Rose and Jar Jar elope.

The prequels had good world-building and story-telling despite what many consider to be subpar acting and dialogue. In addition, the politics underpinning the movies were lost on the younger audiences while appearing overly simplistic to older audiences.

​​@@liamphibiaI have watched the films dozens of times, but I have yet to see all those "obvious problems". Are they on some kind of hidden track after the actual movies? 🤔

Yep.

They are 90% soulless corporates wanting a money printer and 10% SJW/feminists propaganda makers. To them every (shitty) film they want to sell is a mechanically created product. Repeating predecessors/tropes and putting "cool"/cute things won't create a story but they *can't* understand that.

thank you someone had to say it, most the dummies in the world never even heard of transhumanism or think its sexual

From a formative experience to a formulaic experience.

Apathy is death.

one of the wisest

I thought the same thing. but how could be possibly be thinking of a character from the EU? According to dear old KK- SW had no resource material as a reference point before the Sequel Trilogy lol so how could Kreia even exist? *rolls eyes*

One of the greatest characters ever made...

It's not apathy, it's fear. "Fear is the mind killer". They're so afraid of offending any of the 'special' groups that they produce only bland, safe, boring products.

it's weird. I havee only seen cllips od it, and it feels like an Andor episode, so i'm wondering why in Mandalorian?

I think he said he’d like it to be 5 seasons long

"There’s no worse death sentence for a show" That's not true. Most shows are made to make money, that's simply the reality of that business. He just stated what most other of his peer think and always thought. You can go on with the episodic adventures (Star Trek TOS, TNG, Stargate SG-1...) if your writing and production keeps things interesting. It's also a cultural thing. Usually in the UK, for example, a show has very few seasons and that's it, by design. In America it's simply different.

@@prince-solomon Mandalorian isn't really episodic like Star Trek used to be though. There's still a continuous storyline and quest running through the whole season and series.

That 3rd episode makes sense now. They were like: wth do we do now? Do we develop what we had set up? Nah let's bring Grogu back and get some Andor vibes in here, that'll work!

GOOD POINT

Even worse is resentment. That’s not recoverable.

@@redneckgoatfarmer You know, it's interesting you mention that, 'cause I've also heard resentment is a "closing stage" of a dead marriage. However, I've heard it said that the reason why indifference is "more final" is that with resentment, there's still the presence of very intense emotions, albeit negative/unfavorable. And as it was explained to me, any emotion is the presence of some form of interest, trace amounts of caring, just flipped. Indifference means the well of emotions are totally dry. Zero to work with or bounce back from. But still, interesting.

It's never the same once resentment creeps in. It's rare to rekindle that spark you had. It's just done and over with. At least Disney has the fans it truly wanted noq.

@@redneckgoatfarmer no, apathy. Apathy is death. And Star Wars is going to see what happens when you piss on nearly 30+ years of generations of different fans, meanwhile the only ones who stay are people blinded by nostalgia or have made the bed and are now sleeping in it.

❤ Kreia. « It’s such a quiet thing, to fall. Much harder is to admit it. »

@@b.chaline4394 She’s probably my favorite Star Wars character. Her insights on both the Jedi and the Sith are great.

@@b.chaline4394 Wow. That's even better.

@@cyberdragon1922 She has so many great lines in that game; she might actually be the most quotable character in all of Star Wars.

Hmm, was JJ aware of that? SSDD and goodbye to Star Trek.

The EU wasn't any better than what Disney did. IMO both need to be consigned to the dust bin.

KOTOR is a masterpiece of dialogue, especially in regards to Kreia challenging our notions of the world.

I recently reread the Jedi search trilogy from the 1980s IIRC. I still wonder why something like these stories weren't made into movies into the (IMO) horrible prequels and sequels since Disney took over.

Then why are you playing KotOR 2? KotOR is the one with the well written Star Wars story. KotOR 2 is full of so much stupidity and terrible railroading.

@@LOL_GarrusKreia is an idiot and the writers never let you point out her obvious stupidity. She is one of the tropey Obsidian characters I cannot stand. New Vegas had them too and I couldn't stand New Vegas for that either.

I'm not a gamer but I've just pulled Heir to the Empire off my bookshelf for the exact same reason: I want to enjoy Star Wars with all its amazing characters and storylines, the way it used to be.

One of the giants is slowly dieing. and it's hilarious to see.

We've been so subverted that we cheer when one of America's largest cultural landmarks begins to die. We are so actively engaged in destroying ourselves because the leadership has been corrupted, we do it happily. I wonder what we will create to replace everything?

They're the film equivalent of EA. Latch on to a franchise and its associated company behind it, suck it dry, and move on to the next meal, like the Aliens out of Independence Day.

Lucasfilm was the same way: an utterly toxic environment. If anyone dared question Lucas, they were fired. Many famous Hollywood writers (including Kevin Smith and M. Night Shamalayan) have talked about their awful experiences with Lucasfilm and its soul-crushing creative processes.

@@derkeheath5172 M. Night and Kevin Smith have to be the worst examples possible. But yeah, very similar ego trip with one difference in that at least Lucas makes up his mind, with Marvel it's just constant changes up to the last minute.

Because they're soulless, they don't want to give you a good story in exchange for your money. They just want to take your money, giving you absolutely nothing in return. I remember when people in the '90s speculated about Disney's "hidden messages" in their animated movies such as Aladdin or The Lion King. Some said that Disney was satanic. Most people laughed. Cue 2020's nobody's laughing anymore because it's quite clear that they are the devil in the flesh.

To be fair, Grug wasn't trying to sell a product to adult children with gaping holes in their souls.

@@higgsbonbon Grug was gaping the children himself.

We don't see the gut wrenching impact of emotions of Luke walking up to his farm in flames and seeing the burning corpses of his family strewn out on the ground anymore. No, instead we get bouncy ball robots and cuddly space gunnie pigs and baby yodas as a mere facade to sell us on a product the was settled a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away...

I would argue what they make now is only for fools. It is the low quality fodder for the lowest common denominator. Who could still do better and have far more options anyways.

Impossible. The archives must be incorrect.

Can you imagine if they did that to marvel when they first took over?

The problem is the wokening happened with star wars. The Wokening isn't just one thing but all the worst elements in entertainment industry broiled into a single toxic sludge. You get directors/writers with massive egos who think they can write something better and greater than the original but lack any talent in actually doing so. Often making changes that completely undermine the actual story and plot. Like how they're re-writing Peterpan to have the Lost theys because the lost boys wasn't inclusive enough. And for a reason, being said that girls were too smart to get lost like boys did. You get The Message crammed into your face every second of the piece of entertainment with the subtlety of two by four being rammed straight between the buttox. You get corporations digging up the corpses of your childhood to try and make them sing and dance once more in hopes to draw more money out of your pockets but all they succeed at flopping have decomposed rotting flesh bags across the stage and then screaming at you to pay them.

@@ridensroom6957 They practically are now, adapting only what already is the message. And then filling it with so many "jokes" that even the Joker thinks its too much.

​@@alchemystudiosink1894 you're right. I mean, they even called the first movie The Force AWAKENS, for God's sake! Don't think that particular wording wasnt very intentianal . They probably thought it was very clever and meta too, the idiots.

You forgot to mention that the location is now home to a pack of race grifting hyenas.

Perfect analogy.

I disagree with Drinker on one point only. The appearance of Luke. Baby Yoda won't be trained by Tano. He uses the Force to mass text any other Jedi out there. Who in that era is left to train him? Who? Oh wait, basically just one person. And if there was some doubt in your mind what was going to happen next, when we all saw that X-Wing fly in, you're a f**king dullard. Some people super fans cried. I'm a super fan, but I didn't cry. I pointed at the screen and said, "Yup. This is what we all wanted and it's fantastic. Eat bantha foodoo, KK." Drinker is wrong. His arrival was set up and was foreseeable. Fight me.🤘

Watching this crap feels like I’m looking at a copy, of a copy, of a copy, but it’s filled with annoying woke BS throughout, just to make things worse. Disney can have it.

Same. I grew up wanting to be Leia and fly and X-wing and now... What it's become is just so much noise.

That's the craziest thing to me. If Disney looked beyond "We can use the original actors one last time!" and took to a distant part of the timeline or the universe they could have had almost carte blanche to go as crazy or weird as they wanted and people would have ate it up. The problem is that they thought they were going to spin off the originals in the worst way.

The problem here is that Star Wars wasn't a fantasy series. It was a Sci Fi series. It was turned into a fantasy series by writers who don't know how to do anything beyond D&D crap.

It's intentional sabotage. She hasn't been fired because she is excellent at her role. Remember they want us broken, owning nothing, eating bugs, and happy about it. Believe it or not to achieve this requires killing everything we love. Disney are playing their part as the propaganda machine they have always been.

Georges Lucas butchered it WAY before that with Return of the Tesdy Bears, the " Special Additions" that got rid of the originals, the unwatchable prequel trilogy. People act as if Disney had ruined something great. Star Wars has been garbage for over 40 years. Only their first two movies were good. But they were so good and so endearing that we can't get pass them and keep hoping for that magic to return. It won't. It can't. The problem is more with us now than it is with any of the creators behind it.

Women only fail up, she can't go any higher so until the company itself dissolves she will be a permanent fixture.

@@plastique45 nonsense. Sheer, indefensible nonsense. You would seriously blame the fans instead of Disney? I need say no more.

You have to get off the train that goes nowhere already, and fast.

Falling order doesn't suck, p@#$$

Filoni is an enemy as well. He's as much as a diversity shitbrain as Kathleen Kennedy. The reason he got lumped in with Favreau is *because* he's in line with Kennedy's way of thinking, he's her little plant.

​@griffy ye My dad never left. It was for milk and he will be back any day now.

F and F are clearly overrated. And don't talk to me about Clone Wars. The only Clone Wars I recognize come from Dark Horse comics and those 2d cartoon shorts.

Filoni and Favreau drop as much terrible Star Wars content as she has in her time, some of it worse. They are the most overrated people in SW Fandom.

Are you suggesting that boss batch female and their equal-to-men-strong-brave-leadership is … is ineffective? 🥺

I was a kid when the original Star Wars came out, and I tried watching The Phantom Menace but it was such dog shit it turned me off every other Star Wars vehicle.

@@chalkandcheese1868 At least George Lucas was still in control of the franchise. Sure, the dialogue was choppy, but the prequels are as authentically Star Wars as the OT. Everything Disney makes is a cheap imitation of the old magic. So many more people are appreciating the prequels now because of Disney's bastardization with the sequels.

@@mojomac6592 I watched The Phantom Menace a few weeks ago for the first time in years and I was shocked at how bad it was. It got just about everything wrong. It didn't even have cool machines (essential for good science fiction) and that stupid little kid attacking the space station saying weeeeee! Just embarrassing. I think the major problem was George Lucas got far to invested in modern (at the time) computer graphics technology, he thought the look of the film will blow everybody away, but he forgot about everything else.

@@mojomac6592 The dialogue was not 'choppy', it was pure shit like everything else in the prequels. And people are only 'appreciating' the sequels because Gen Z is full of retards who'd eat their own feces if you infused it with enough nostalgia.

@@chalkandcheese1868 Look the Phantom Menace had its problems but it was not a bad movie by any stretch. It was flawed, but it felt like a Star Wars movie. That was the Prequel Trilogy in a nutshell, flawed for many reasons (George Lucas having too much control compared to the OT) but they felt like Stars Wars movies and there was definitely a sense of passion in the development of the films, particularly the world building and the plot was okay particularly when it all wrapped up by Episode 3. The Sequels felt like empty vassals by comparison, they didn't feel like Star Wars movies, the plot in them was terrible and they blatantly ruined the OT heroes to make way for identity/minority characters who were not interesting or particularly likeable. They also ignored all the work of the Expanded Universe as if over 20 years of writing material expanding the Star Wars universe never even happened.

I drove for Dominos as well a few years back. Honest work, you were paid to be efficient, you had a lot of independence, and the crew you worked with from the GM down to the newest driver - the people that stuck around longer than a week, anyway - seemed to understand that the business lived or died by everyone giving a shit about the job instead of just marking time until your shift was over. In all sincerity, it was a pretty great job.

Same.

Same. Disney killed my love for the franchise. But at least Jedi Knight and KOTOR video games still exist.

​@@JonathanGaeta🤦🏼‍♂️

I simply don't consider anything they make star wars there are 6 movies with a good ending. It's good enough for me.

@@Breedo Three movies.

pure violation 😫

This. I thought it was very poetic.

Legit man. All this shit is inspiring me to make my own movie. The whole "be the change you wanna see in the world" deal.

That’s because they are not characters anymore. They are vessels for the message.

So true. The quality of writing has declined precipitously over the past 10 years to the point where haven’t watched network TV since 2019 (exception later). Probably 5 years ago I started rewatching TNG on Prime and that episode (The Inner Light) really stood out in my mind. It was a great call for you to remember it and compare it to anything Star Wars, big budget movies included, in the past 10 years. In fact after TNG I moved on to DS9 (which I watched only occasionally in its first run, it just didn’t “catch” me) and then Voyager (really hacked me off Prime’s ST contract expired while I was in the 4th season), which I finally just finished using the free Paramount+ we got for buying TMobile internet service. Ghosts and any Taylor Sheridan show not called The Mayor Of Kingstown are also quite engaging. Anyway, I’d say ANY post 1980 Star Trek show other than Enterprise is better than anything on TV since…2000? “Corollary”: It’s been much of this century that I’ve wondered how much of the movie fare gets green lighted. Many will start well but fall apart after the first hour or so. I’ve heard that it may be because a script submission is only so many pages long. Getting the green light may be somewhat of a surprise because turning from story to a conclusion is often a horrifyingly painful, disappointing and surprisingly poorly thought out proposition. Again, poor writing.

Or yesterday's Enterprise. They got us to care about a love story between two characters who would not go beyond that episode.

I cared about Al Bundy. A man worn down by a useless wife, a brat for a son, a half-wit blonde but loveable daughter and annoying neighbors. I cared for Al because he took abuse from unhealthy plus sized women at the shoe shop where he worked. I cared for him and his fellow shoe salesman Griff. As for Disney, I can't care less.

They had to way _decades_ before trying another TV project

Ewok Tv movies wer fun tho

Caravan of Courage is still better than Episode 2 and anything Disney put out 😂

@@itsfine9136👍👍👍

Rule No. 2: Don’t make them feel shocked, angered, or horrified because of how bad your production is.

@@cr1ym unless you're Neil Breen or James Nguyen, in which case that's your selling point.

I feel amused watching Disney get knocked down a peg. Does that count?

So bad that watching Chewbacca take a sh@t more interesting.

regarding the "make your audiences feel something". the most obvious way to do so: have characters that people can relate and care about. I mean, it's (obviously) not just a coincidence that the characters of the original trilogy (at this point: even side characters) are still being dragged out again. because a lot of really liked and like these "people".

Very fucking true... wow

Kennedy has dark knowledge of disney. If shes fired she has a dead mans switch to release.

Right, movie 1-3 were criticized so much at the time, yet it seems it could have been way worse. As proven now.

Newsflash: STAR WARS IS NOT REAL!

@@Foebane72 Are you suggesting it involves actors?

Luckily one can ignore Disney SW exists and be content with the older EU stuff. I totally understand if someone is burnt out on Star Wars in general, but I can still feel excited playing an older game, or reading a book from EU. If you wanna see good Star Wars, check out Darth Angelus. He has been animating the Thrawn-trilogy for a while now.

Truly is.... right along with our culture,society, & Country

The wasted potential is actually depressing. I remember when the Force Awakens got announced... I have never been so excited for a movie in my life. Just imagine if they took the time and patience to allow FANS of Star Wars to decide the direction Star Wars should go. Imagine a new Jedi Council, and actually interesting and dynamic characters, a final struggle that transcends the light and dark side of the force.... What a fucking waste

@Glokib it truly is. My generation grew up on it since the first movie. We and our children are the ones holding the money. Not to mention the indoctrination 2 our grandchildren. The potential is insane... Keep in mind that our politicians, entertainment, and news media have been hijacked and are under corporate control. Thus the Woke agenda.. apparently the "Message" is more important than making cash on a franchise. That should honestly scare the he11 out of all of us....

@@fredstriker2042 You’ve been watching too much Tucker Carlson.

Im embarrassed what I spent on this franchise until The Last Jedi. Not a penny since.

Rogue One was absolutely awful. It was bad fan fiction by an idiot who thinks that an exhaust port needed to be more than an exhaust point because they don't understand how reality works. An idiot who doesn't understand the idea of simplicity and necessity. The very obvious prequel to A New Hope is that some Rebel spies masqueraded as engineers aboard the Death Star, managed to steal the maintenance and engineering plans, were discovered and had to make a desperate escape with the plans to the Death Star. There it was discovered that the reactor was so large and functioned at such a critical point just to generate enough power to destroy a planet while only being the size of a small moon that a single torpedo would be enough to tip the balance and cause a chain reaction. The exhaust port is for the massive amount of high energy exhaust plasma produced by the reactor. There was no stupid nonsensical bullshit complicated self destruct mechanism made by a man who was tortured for no reason. And We saw in Episode 2 that the bug people designed the Death Star.

@@GeorgeMonetSounds like they need a prequel to flesh out the prequel to the original.

If the writers were going to have Grogu end up going back to Din, they should’ve at least waited until the end of the Mandalorian series or until Grogu actually finished his training. Their goodbye in season 2 is now rendered meaningless with both of them back together in season 3 like nothing happened.

I heard everyone’s favorite producer K. Kennedy forced Grogu back w Mando because she was terrified of losing her cash cow.

Star Wars started its downward trajectory with Return of the Jedi. It hasn't been what it used to be in literally 43 years!

I would have loved a storyline where Grogu trains to be a Jedi with Luke. When Grogu gets older he learns about the Jedi and Mandolorian's history so he grows to hate the Mandolorians. Eventually he has to face Din.

TBoBF actually was a sequel to the Mandalorian, with some side stories about Boba Fett. If anyone loved The Mandalorian, it was required watching to round out that story.

Fuck, you're right XDDD

Rings of Power all over again

I read this in the voice of Mike from Red Letter Media.

Accurate description.

That's actually brilliant and spot on. May they never do it.
