So how come the Marvel division of Disney had two record setting movies released just weeks apart? No the problem is except for "Rogue One" the new Star Wars have been mediocre at best. Fire Kathleen Kennedy, drop the Social Justice Warrior crap, get rid of the Mary Sue, no more ridiculous plot holes, and get back to the basics.

Because Disney needs to fire the SJW hack running lucasfilm. But won’t. Solo got punished for the crap fest that was the last Jedi...

Not because they released too many movies too quickly.

Quit the SJW crap and just tell a good story

[GraceG]

You’re up!!!!

Post that endless crap meme!

[a fool in paradise]

How about an origin story for Jar Jar Binks?

Parsec is a unit of distance, not time.

I burned out on Star Wars after the 1st one in 1977.....................

"May the Force be with you female."

The answer is never the answer, is it?

There is no such thing as franchise fatigue when you are true to your fan base. I’d watch a Star Wars movie religiously every six months if the quality was equal to episodes 4-6. Last Jedi was so effin horrible that I stayed away from Solo like the plague. I will stay away from Episode IX as well.

Twenty years ago I would have been respected as a fan. Today, I’m mocked and denigrated as a white male by these directors and producers at Lucas. You want my money? Scrub your team of anyone who utters the word SJW, then make movies that are free of your alphabet of sexual orientations and themes, and get back to good old fashioned space fantasy.

It isn’t that complicated when you are willing the face the true reason your sales are in the dumpster.

The original Star Wars was based on the heroes of the Wars of Independence. Instead of pursuing a heroic, noble and patriotic story in this vein the makers of the new films decided that they would promote Marxism

[circlecity]

I finally watched the one that came out before Solo. (It came to netflix) It was just awful. The worst one ever. The sjw crap really made it unwatchable.

Get someone like John Milius out of retirement and have them write and produce one.

[max americana]

I personally know the guys here in Hollywood who make those Toon Channel Star wars series..

They’re SICK of it. Obviously they wont admit it in the open...it’s what pays for the production co. so who’s to say they wont stop making it.

[Skywise]

Idiot blames Solo and not TLJ which is what killed it. Then blames the audience for having too much Star Wars instead of the shoddy work Kathleen Kennedy has done with the franchise.

He’s also defending starting alcohol sales in Disneyland which Walt was adamantly opposed to.

Iger needs to be sacked by the board along with kennedyz

Ya think?

Disney forgot who their audience was. Male nerd teenagers don't want to watch social justice warriors implementing social justice. They also don't want to watch women, unless the women are wearing Jabba's palace slave costumes.

Bigger guns, more explosions, gross aliens, spaceships blowing things up, hotshot male space fighter pilot gunslingers looking cool and saying cool things. That's what their target audience is looking for.

Otherwise, they might as well call the movies "Pillows and Scented Candles", and feature a buncha socially woke chicks wondering why men simply just couldn't be a more hairy version of women.

Tisn't rocket science. I suspect that the "extra time" will be used to clean house, clean management, and re-tool their writing department. Disney is in it for the money, after all.

No the problem is except for "Rogue One" the new Star Wars have been mediocre at best.

Agreed.

Rogue One was a decent flick. One that I would watch again if I came across it.

The rest I would pass on. They lack any sort of magic.

[-YYZ-]

I lost interest after trying to watch episodes I, II, and III. Terrible direction, casting, plotting, storylines, etc. Boring. After that crap-fest watching ROTJ is wonderful, even with those stupid freaking Ewoks.

[mkleesma]

Well, the MCU releases at least 3 films every year, and they’re all blockbusters....

Maybe its because they are WELL MADE entertaining films.

[catnipman]

the actual “mistake” they made was that the last three SW movies were utter derivative dreck, with not a single compelling original notion to add to the SW narrative ...

[Yo-Yo]

'I made the timing decision, and as I look back, I think the mistake that I made — I take the blame — was a little too much, too fast,' he admitted to The Hollywood Reporter.

No, the mistake you made, and you can still take the blame for it, was too crappy, too fast.

Space cowboys fighting nazis was a winning formula once. It could be again.

[ClearBlueSky]

No, Bob.It's not about Solo. It was never about Solo. You CRAPPED on a worldwide phenomenon that millions love and told those millions to get lost.It's corporate euthanasia of an entity you own(and feel free to kill AND expect the mourners to pay you for it! **Rant ahead**

As a 30+ year fan who became one as an adult(no childhood destruction) allow me to give you a checklist from OUR(your customers) perspective:
PC doesn't belong in SW. The whole idea was that it was NOT us, not HERE. It was an escape, a fantasy we could relate to but were not battered with.
You UNDID the core PREMISE of the story.It's like re-writing WW2 and saying the Allies were fools, the war was a waste and the Nazi's won. Did you have a corporate meeting to come up with the best way to kill 'old' SW so you could have a blank slate for your version? The bad guys were the Empire, the Rebels were the good guys. Evil lost in the end. Good triumphed. We celebrated and loved it.
You show the rebellion as losers. 30 years later the bad guys are bigger and badder. All those rebels died for nothing. They were stupid-WE were stupid to believe it! You wanted their past dead-killed- and their naïve fandom dead with it.(But you still want our $$)

You UNHEROED the hero.In 30 years he had NO adult Knights out there-no graduates except psycho nephew? You made him a weak, beaten loser in HIS eyes and the viewers eyes!Fans didn't want that anymore then they want a child molester Batman with a leather fetish or delusional Spiderman who climbs out of buildings and falls to his death.
Leia was a hit and run that got played. Her kid is an evil psycho.So much for that imagined romance
Once you say everything we liked was wrong and should be discarded, you offer the Female Karate Kid. Uber Marysue! Stronger, faster, better and scarier than any living being! And so mysterious. Newsflash 'mystery' in this case is lack of depth in storytelling. Cartoonish.
Final clue that it's Disney's reimagined SW that is wrong- your lead actor( who has lived with this character) doesn't understand what the hell you did or why you're doing it. He told you to 'give the fans what they want'. Disney/Johnson said 'NO we give them what WE want'!!

DO YOU HEAR US NOW? We don't want what you're doing to SW. You might make money- but hey-the porn industry does too! Capice?
