They’ve watered down the entire franchise beyond repair. With Disney at the helm, I expect they’ll have Grogu come out as trans.

I love SciFi. Saw the first one the week it came out in 77. Thought it was kinda juvenile, dumb - and didn’t watch any more.

Got talked into watching them all about a year ago. Snooze fest.

IMHO it was ruined from the start.

Andor was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen, regardless of genre.

If they figured out a way to just continue with the Thrawn trilogy that could work well.

Disney took a money printing machine - the Star Wars franchise and wasted it. Incredible.

They put the hack JJ Abrams as director and the zero creativity Kathleen Kennedy in charge.

How could they start a billion dollar trilogy without an overarching plan?

Or they could have simply made the Thrawn trilogy and it would have been a massive success.

Star wars always had a strong female lead

Nathaniel Tolkien did his best to protect the Middle Earth story. He did a very good job. After he died, however, the hacks have moved in and proceeded to hack it!

...the words “feature-length television movie”...

For some reason, that made me think of the atrocious Star Wars Holiday Special.

I was thinking about Disney’s recent pick for Helen of Troy this morning and I released they actually could have picked a worse person.

Danny DeVito.

Disney needed a “boy” franchise to balance the “princess” franchises, so they bought Star Wars.

And then they decided not to make it a boy franchise. Lucas knew the strength of Star Wars was in its toy lines, and that was geared toward boys.

But, no, they needed to tell boys that these are the toys you’re going to play with.

Never understood Star Wars mania. The original was pretty cool but what’s not cool to a 7 year old. ?

Disney just killed it off. Lucas ruined Star Wars.

Update!

Nerdrotic
@Nerdrotics

The Mandalorian and Grogu is three filler episodes of a bad streaming show made into a bad streaming movie.

Best described by @MauLer93 as a filler movie.

RIP Star Wars
