okay good. last time I had ep3 on in the background I kept wondering wtf was up with all the knick-knacks and shit in Sheev's office because it seemed there's a shitload of them getting conspicuously in the shots compared to a lot of random lamps and crap in other rooms, I thought I was just being paranoid or something
What else do they have? A Rey sequel no one asked for? Skellington Crew, about a bunch of characters no one knows, including mostly kids? More Furloniverse wank with that Mando movie? Andor (literal who) Season 2? Maybe I'm forgetting some cartoons or something else live action that won't ever get made, but it's pretty dire.
I really hope it will. At this point Disney burning money and in exchange getting mockery and ridicule is the only entertainment Star Wars can provide me with.
There's also the problem that Acolyte legitimately did massively worse than Ahsoka and Andor. Its numbers are flat, and even the reply guys struggled to astroturf a support campaign for it.
Great point. Taking a loss and a tax write-off would almost assuredly be more profitable than going through full production, although I guess with Willow they released it and shitcanned it later. It just depends on what quarter they need to inflate their numbers. I wouldn't be surprised if they kick the can down the road for a while. assuming it moves forward at all.
Iger didn't just end Willow for tax write offs. There was an activist investor actively looking to get him and a bunch of other execs removed for substituting woke points for profits, and Iger could not afford the liability of an utter dog dragging him down if they had to release numbers.
You've nailed it.
I don't think it was on this site, but somewhere else (probably an EU discord) like 5 years ago I posted that we were going to get CGI luke, Ashoka, and Mando in a Filoni adaptation of Heir to the Empire as a show or a movie and everyone said I was crazy there was no fucking way. we are literally getting that. I called that shit from day 1. I also said they were going to astroturf their shit by using old titles of EU stuff. Tales of the Jedi, anyone? It's actually kind of horrifying. not to PL too much but almost every out of my ass prediction I have had since 2015 with the SW IP has happened exactly how I said it would. I wish it would stop. I actually wish at this point SW would get a mercy killing and they'd just give up and let it die, and it's my favorite IP outside of maybe the DC universe (which I also want to just be left alone).
Sheev is Disney name.
It's just so funny because the Spider-Man movies are plagued with all of Peter's villains being hijacked by Iron Man. Vulture hates Stark because he...kicked him off a construction site and Mysterio is a disgruntled Starktech employee. Now Tony Stark is Doom which is something a lot of
The CGI Luke shit always rubbed me wrong because Disney was weaponizing the autistic lunatics who would throw a massive tantrum if they cast anyone but Mark Hamil to play him. That CG Tarkin puppet in Rogue One was the worst of it though.
You know, I had totally forgotten that, but yeah Cosinga is much better than "Sheev" (even though Lucino also wrote the book Sheev came from but whatever).
they aren't stopping there either, Dawn of the Jedi and New Jedi Order are going to be the names of the James Mangold movie/Rey sequel respectively. it's fucking bullshit. TotJ is my favorite Star Wars comic, now it's an Ashoka thing, NJO are my favorite Star Wars novels, now it is fucking episode 10 about Rey Palpatine. Dawn of the Jedi was fine but I'm not too attached to it because it had to get cut down from their initial plans, but still FUCK YOU. I knew this was going to happen years ago. they are so bankrupt creatively they can't even make up a title. I get TotJ/DotJ/NJO are pretty generic names in the first place that just get their point across, but c'mon man it's literally just to astroturf their shitty projects when a normie tries to look it up.
The fucker doesn't give a shit about the Sith from the materials I've read from the OT. He regarded himself as a god, and the Sith, for all he gave a fuck about, was just a stepping stone to that. If he was a true Sith, he'd be raising an apprentice who would one day overthrow him. He never did. He barely gave Vader Sith techniques to work with; and he didn't even grab an apprentice during the Dark Empire era; he just wanted to rule as a god with Dark Jedi servants beneath him, and him as the sole Sith. Sure, he had Luke for a while, but that didn't last, and he never replaced Luke when the boy left.
Don't forget the Diversity Alliance, who are aliens that banded together to fight against ''human supremacy'', as well as the Peace Brigade, who are turncoat Republic citizens who serve the Vong and helped them hunt down dissidents and Jedi to enslave. Both of them are unironically bad guys. Based and redpilled indeed.
they tell you many bothans died, what they don't tell you is that the Rebellion rounded up and slaughtered those bothans themselves to prove to the information source that they were good guys
