Disney wants to keep that sweet Blackrock Investment money coming and so will do anything to appease lefty millenials. It is staggering to see just how badly the franchise fell with the sheer weight and creative talent behind it. Too many chefs spoil the broth methinks. So much is this committee designed bullshit. That star wars hotel / immersive experience lasted on 18 months after millions spent. And i think that changed the strategy.I thought you were talking about comics because I honestly forgot that Watchmen TV series existed. Didn't it have a black female Rorshach or something equally retarded?
OT: As the most non-Star Wars person imaginable, I find the continued implosion of this franchise extremely fascinating to watch. Of the new stuff I've only seen TFA (bland but inoffensive,) Rogue One (charisma vacuum and embarrassing fan service) and ROS (bewildering incompetence). It's hard to believe Disney have spent so much money to fumble what should have been a reliable cash cow, and they refuse to pull up.
Currently waiting to see how Star Wars Outlaws turns out. I personally hated Fallen Order and Survivor but the concept had potential; Outlaws looks much, much more boring.
Now their plan is to hand out smaller budget projects for individual directors to manage and throw them at a wall until one sticks. I hear Andor is pretty decent. But for every 1 Andor they have to crank out 3-4 bits of slop media like the Acolyte. While the varied approach is better, it does result in the name being tarnished, though quite frankly, this has always been the case since the Holiday Special.
