I don't understand Disney. They want to lose money? How shareholders accept debacle after debacle?
Kathleen Kennedy should probably have lost her job by now certainly. They've kind of moved closer to that by making Dave Filoni the creative head of the franchise and shoving her to the background.
The writers of this show definitely don't seem to understand how fire works do they.
I don't mind all the breaks in canon, logic, common sense and contradictions but this show is absolute wank. I've literally no idea how Disney greenlit this for £180m and half way through didn't get someone else into course correct.
The main problem with Disney Star Wars isn't that they keep making shite, it's that they don't seem to have any idea that they're making shite, until they release it then they're shocked at the reactions. In the build up to the release of The Last Jedi they were talking about Oscar buzz ffs.
Nah that was just the buzz for Oscar Isaac in the movieThe writers of this show definitely don't seem to understand how fire works do they.

Ah, if only!
A bit like United throwing money at average players and being surprised when we finish 8th.The writers of this show definitely don't seem to understand how fire works do they.

It annoys me the most how Kennedy, Headland and Filoni have decency to say that rating is bad because fans are racist and hate women. Same as it was with new Cap Marvel movie.
Probably. Was just a lame joke by me
I disagree with that thinking about "appealing fans". Fan base (so, those who are real fans of some content) want quality. Alien and Terminator have women in leading roles and i don't recall that was ever a talking issue for fans. DS9 is labelled as best Star Trek tv show and it has black actor and couple of women in leading roles. Also, never an issue.
Tbf times have changed. Especially with social media now.
Right but I'm not talking about good TV and story
) these days. And if you want to speak plain then by "male dominated fanbase" they specifically mean white men, who, obviously, are still a majority of folks in the western escapist nerd culture. This culture has realistically been hijacked from the top by toxic people who's penchant for identity politics and "modern audience" rhetoric is what this core fanbase despises, mainly because its proponents despises them in turn for their "hetero-normative" skin colour and sexual orientation.To be fair its kind of a two way straight(Edit: street
In that context downright mean and confusing attitudes like this are pretty common we have seen it for years now and its been normalised across established entertainment, not only star wars, but comic books, TV shows, tabletop games, movies, video games etc. These mediums have essentially been appropriated and are collapsing before our eyes, and if not collapsing have been robbed of what made them appealing escapism in the first place. Sales etc are awful, reactions to new stuff is terrible and mocked relentlessly etc. It's pretty bad, and a few youtubers are making videos profiting off of it, which upsets some people who want them to be wrong.
In terms of Star wars, that's exactly how you get "the force is female" on the one hand (said in front of an audience which will have almost certainly been 95%+ male) all the way to "star wars is failing, and its because its fans are sexist and racist". If they didn't have that divisive shit and yes, focused on quality actors/writing etc we wouldn't be in this position, but its also about "the message" as one particular youtuber likes to put it, and generally this message is disliked for both its malicious implications and it taking precedence over pretty much anything else.
Yes some of the most successful shit of all time had these none standard roles, clearly this isn't the only reason its the mountain of baggage that comes with inherently forcing it, aye like directors virtue signalling and/or berating people about something which should be inconsequential, often before something has even come out.
Sarah Connor and Ripley are definitely good examples of the differences between old and modern writing, as they were very specifically written to be actual women, they were badass yes but that was manifested very much through motherhood and tenderness, they were also allowed to show weakness and femininity etc. Disney Star wars is the complete opposite, they are generally perfect with strong masculine traits, often but not always with the added bonus of hot takes about how unnecessary men are, where its like these writers can't help but tear us down at the same time rather than sharing a screen presence like Sarah would with Kyle or Ripley would with Hicks.
‘Monster of the Week’ Star Wars in the Old Republic where a group of bored Jedi get dragged out of bars to fight some random monster in between trying to find out which types of alien they can shag with occasional glimpses to the current overarching evil Sith Lord fecking around - it‘s so easy.
