Sounds like a great recipe for a blockbuster film!

They should keep doing what they are doing.

Only the originals are ever any good. Remakes/sequels/part 2’s always suck compared to original.

Star Wars films have descended to the level of B cowboy movies from the late 40’s and early 50’s.

At least they had Randolph Scott.

The only good Star wars films are the ones in which Carrie Fisher is still hot.

I’ve said this before, and I will say it again...
Any business plan that automatically alienates half of your potential customer base is doomed to failure.

This deeply insecure woman is going to be a nightmare on the set and with the CGI team. Aside from that, she’s a Documentary producer, well out of her league. Someone will eat her alive...or kill her out of frustration. I’ve seen this before, as a Producer.

You have me beat by a few years. I went to see Independence Day in a theater in 1996 when it first came out. No more theaters for me either.

Disney under Kathleen Kennedy’s guidance has destroyed three, count them three stories franchises.
Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and the Marvel stories have either underperformed or ranked completely.

Hollywood too has been a disaster with the DEI guidelines being put ahead of good stories.
It’s insistence on “The Message” is killing the bottom line because America is tired of being lectured to instead of being entertained.
“Barbie” inadvertently amused people because moviegoers sympathized with Ken’s real world attempt more than Barbie’s search for a vagina.
And the real surprise hit turns out to be an old movie genre done without liberals talking points.
It’s “Godzilla -1”
It’s a honest to goodness monster movie where well written characters give the audience someone to cheer, fear and jeer for instead of high body count, overbearing special effects and paper thin plot.
It came from Japan which isn’t compelled by “checking boxes”
And made for under 15 million dollars.

“Ask Gillette about their CEOs β€œtoxic masculinity”
.
I used to use Gillette products since I started shaving.
Now, I haven’t bought any since they ran that insulting ad.

I was in the theater in 1977 for the original nd was a fan ever since. Well, until Disney took ownership.

I have not seen the last 4-5 movies and none of the series. Cancelled Disney+ when I got sick of their LGBTQ messaging to my children.

All good things must come to an end.

I can look past Cruise”s Scientology connections so long as he’s not preaching it’s cult in his movies.

Does Disney have no business sense? When the director of your next hoped-to-be blockbuster comes out with a statement like this, it’s time to rethink.

Personally, I think the franchise has been dead for twenty years, and the signs are certainly there with the poor performance of sequels and prequels and offshoots on streaming. But if Disney wants to hand over helming of a probably $200 million film to a man-hating Pakistani whose experience with Pakistani men has warped her, and who is openly alienating half of her potential audience while in preproduction, that is their business.

Then you won’t mind when they don’t buy tickets for your movie.

Of course that will be due to sexism and misogyny.
