And if I recall, Lucas despite (allegedly?) telling Carrie Fisher, "There's no bras in space," still had her breasts taped down in ANH so she'd still look attractive yet conservative. In a way, it made it easier to respect Leia as an attractive yet kick-ass character who could more than hold her own and defend herself as much and as best as possible because most people respect someone -- whether a real person or a fictional character -- who is a total package in terms of brains, beauty/attractiveness, and brawn.
In the new trilogy, the women are portrayed as anything but this. In Rose's case, she is more willing to sabotage Finn's efforts to help her and the rest of his colleagues to survive an enemy attack all over love/feelings. How can an average person respect someone who selfishly thinks of herself and has no likeable traits? Sure, we can empathize to some extent because it was a deliberate decision by the writers to make her frumpy and such, but it's still difficult to like a protagonist character that does nothing to command respect.

People are always get way too focused with on the movies for gauging it they are making money. Remember that they bought Star Wars for 4 billion burgers, They are a long way off from seeing and dollar of profit. Not only that, they need to hitting margins within certain time frames, because time is money, and the more time they put in the more the actual cost of the brand is. The movies themselves dont even scratch it. The plan with a franchise like this is to do well... what i did earlier in my toy review. That is buying merch. While they still get sales from the old characters getting merch, there are only so many boba fetts and darth vaders a single man child can buy. So they need to depend on people liking the characters in the new movies, which has obviously not been working out for them. The most popular character by far is kylo ren in the merch department, obviously. But no one is interested in any of the other actual characters. They arent seeing the numbers they need to on the merch front. Begging the question, is everyone in the new new trilogy going to all look like Cool action figures? Sure I wouldnt mind, but I'm sure others would have some trouble coping with every character being a stormtrooper, mandalorian, sith lord, and oc donut steal full armored bad ass.The Rise of Skywalker Will Be a "Success"

Knowing how good the old EU was and how we will never see any of that brought to life depresses me. It makes me sad for my children because this is what they got saddled with.
For a while after last Jedi shit all over everything I couldn't watch the OT. It sucked knowing all my favorite characters had struggled for nothing at all.
My son has been interested in the EU stuff so telling him stories about it really made me able to just say fuck this shit. EU is my canon.
Anyhow, peg warmer update. I've been to several Wal-Mart stores looking for Mandalorian. I don't think I've seen anyone sell a single set of those Gold Star Wars figures. Rey is still warming pegs but the new Kylo is MIA. Guess kids/collectors still like his costume.
Also the new Wedge figure is hard to find already. You need one.

FFS, Stop giving Disney money you rëtarded man children.
It doesn't matter if its "Classic", not released by Hasbro, or whatever. Its boosting Star Wars merch numbers.
The correct thing is you shouldn't buy anything, period, until Disney makes something that doesn't shit all over fans, or sells Star Wars to someone who will make a movie like that.
But I know who I'm posting at, and that you are probably too much of a manchild to exercise that basic level of control, so at least wait until Plan 9 is out of theaters (ideally until the end of the quarter when Plan 9 leaves the screens). If merch is still in the shitter for the movie's run, it'll make sure JarJar & KK have a real shitty time explaining how things got so fucked up to their bosses.
If that's still too long for you wait to buy toys made by chinese political prisoners, at least wait 4 weeks from premier day since that'll make sure at least the post-release numbers are the saddest possible.

Here's another recipe I found.
I posted a review about this thing back around page 520 and if I remember right, its basically very tart. Its made up of gin, ginger beer, lime juice, sour apple syrup and green food coloring.
In old canon, Photon Fizzle was a green soda/carbonated drink that would never lose its fizz that was served in many places and first appeared in the Droids cartoon (which Disney refuses to post on Disney+). In Disney canon, its an alcoholic beer filled with bug eggs and slug ooze.
Well I'll be... Why can't we have alien main characters anymore Disney?
It still bugs me to no end what little importance aliens have in Disney Wars. Not even a token alien in most casts these days. Hell we're lucky to get a token droid, and droids should be a must for everyone in the galaxy, one for communications/simple tasks and one for maintenance and engineering (and this was exemplified in how hopeless Han and Chewie were without ones in the OT). But then again, under Disney everyone speaks English/Galactic Basic now according to the Resistance new media (with the exception of the films and the GE comic, although aliens play no role in the films except for background chatter, so nuts to that), except for humans ironically enough, so protocol droids and translator devices no longer serve a purpose.

Ironically this show is packed with more aliens than any other Disney media yet they all speak perfect english, even the Ithorian with no humanoid mouth.

Called it! Right again and I hate myself.
Edit:
Wouldn't be surprised if they came up short in several areas considering Galaxy's Edge cost them 4 billion to make and expand. Yet people still claim that Disney has made more than what it paid for back simply by looking at the box office gross numbers on Wikipedia. Do these people not realize how the gross is managed and distributed and how much theaters get in shares? At best with merch, Disney probably made back a little more than what they paid for, but considering the cost of shit like GE, interest and the fact that they would need to make more than twice what they paid for to get their money back just shows that SW isn't profitable under Disney. Yet people will still deny this when presented with the statistics and claim that Marvel is making more than enough money for itself and SW. Blasted idiots, that's not how you measure the profitability of a franchise. If Marvel is making money, that doesn't mean SW is. Marvel donating its income just to keep SW alive is far from profitable.

To think I was actually optimistic when they axed the EU back in 2013...
First thing I thought "Cool, the Vong, Sun Crusher, Ewok shit and Dark Empire no longer happened. Maybe they'll keep everything except those and make animated shows, games and more comics about the good stuff instead of more novels! Maybe we'll finally get a revamped language system for aliens that actually feels as good as Klingon or Mando shit! And re-releases of the Essential Guides without the Vong! Maybe Anakin Solo lives now! Heck, maybe they'll make a rewritten version of those four and make them not shit! Imagine!" What a naive fool I was... Instead they throw EVERYTHING out the window completely and start this fresh Hell off by replacing the Thrawn trilogy with Chuck Wendig's disaster and taking the comic rights away from Dark Horse to give it to the retards at Marvel. And to add insult to injury they dissolve Lucasarts, and instead of giving the game rights to a competent and hard working company, they give it to the greedy fucktards at EA... FUCKING EA! OF ALL COMPANIES! And all this within the span of one year before TFA.
I then knew that the future was not a bright one, and I was right. Dark Empire is recanonized instead but worse in the form of Plan 9, the disasters the Vong caused are now replaced by bigger disasters caused by the First Order while a replacement for the Vong is already introduced but with zero originality, the worst of Ewoks media gets recanonized via an awful mobile game and feminist cartoon, they just keep making more Sun Crusher-esque super weapons and its implied the damn thing still exists, they bring back Darth Caedus and Kyp Durron but worse in the fused form of Kylo Ren (a name which makes zero fucking sense, I mean how the fuck did we go from Darth or Lord to Ren?!), and more than half the iconic aliens get wiped out to make way for more hairy primates with progressive planets that eat nothing but soypro. The woke crap is just the cherry on top of the shit sundae. This was the worst possible outcome.
And then there's all the countless good Disney axed in favor of worse shit, leaving nothing good in its wake. Luke is a virgin bum with no progeny or legacy who tried to kill his nephew for no reason (Jacen Solo deserved to get killed by Luke for the horrible shit he did while Emo Ren was just sleeping in bed), Han and Leia divorced and both became washed out losers hated by everyone, Han became a complete and total scumbag and Leia gets kicked out of the Republic she created and is banned from everywhere, even by Alderaan survivors. Hell I could go on forever with this shit.
How did we go from this:
TO THIS?!

Maybe it’s coincidence, but that page is actually a pretty good metaphor for Disney hijacking the series and turning into nonsensical cartoon bullshit.
Although at least it’s got some actual aliens in it.

Exceptional cross-promotion with Fortnite of all things - arguably the best way to make kids care.
Risky Reels, from what I can gather, is an in-game location themed around an open air movie screen - not sure how people are going to be able to properly watch this 'exclusive scene' with everyone rushing to this place to shoot it up (hey, just like a real movie theatre), but there you have it;

Advertising Star Wars via Fortnite? This just screams "How do you do Fellow Kids?"
That's because it was done by IDW rather than Marvel and they seem more eager to use old aliens than Marvel and the rest of Disney.

I think, as we approach the inevitable dumpster fire, we need to take a moment and realize something. It's one of the biggest reasons I think Disney isn't having the ability to kindle any care at this point.
Ignore the oldfags who grew up with the OT or their younger counterparts who can find the legitimate good in the Prequels (and yes, those do exist). Let's focus exclusively on the newcomers, who came to the franchise legitimately enjoying the possibilities opened by The Force Awakens.
Let's say for a minute that you're one of the not-insane Rey fans who liked what she was in TFA (yes, those exist). She was established in TFA as having been waiting for her parents for years, and came to terms with that as part of her arc in that very movie. At no point was it ever implied she thought her parents were important. In fact, the entire core of her arc in TFA was learning that she had to look forward to the future, and find the belonging she was looking for without miring herself in the past. In TLJ, suddenly she gives a shit about them again and thinks they're important, to the point where she genuinely feels retconned if you watch TLJ after TFA.
This is true for every single major character from the first movie. Finn, Poe, BB8, Kylo, Snoke, all of them are undercut in the same way so that their growth is essentially mitigated or ignored. Huge tracts of the movie are devoted to basically taking every single hanging plot thread TFA set up and intentionally dragging it into the street and emptying a mag into their heads one by one. Nowhere is this more visible than in the dialogue and story in TLJ. None of is written in a way that goes in line with what the characters themselves want; the entire movie is written in such a way that it's intended to take stabs at the fanbase for taking issue with parts of TFA. There is no reason for doing this other than outright contempt for the audience and those who actually cared about the series, and while the target of Ryan's ire was almost certainly the OT and PT fans, he was perfectly content to fuck over the TFA fanbase just as hard, and for no other reason than he sort of found it funny. Many might say that that sounds needlessly petty, but then I'm not the one responsible for the following image:
What this means is that the blastback against Disney Wars isn't limited to just the oldfags and canon nerds; it's also the people who got invested and legitimately enjoyed TFA, and even the still-canon expanded content, too. Basically every movie that's come out since and intentionally taken shots at the fans has further pushed away existing fans of the franchise - old and new alike. We've moved past the part where the oldsters were a lone demographic they could write off - it's everyone who enjoyed these movies now. And in a lot of ways, this dumbass waggle-headed butt-loader has everything to do with that. And going into TROS, if it ultimately fails, it will be because Rian Johnson helped murder it.

I'm just now reminded that I finally met two children who are interested in seeing Rise of Skywalker... out of dozens that were neutral or who thought it was kind of lame.
The two kids that were mildly interested and wanted to see the movie had two reasons for it. The first reason was more that their parents wanted to see it than they did, but they still did want to see how the trilogy ended. But their other reason is that they think it might be closer to the Mandalorian in style, since both actually really like the Mandalorian. I don't blame them on liking the show either since it's actually pretty solid too, hope it doesn't crush them when it melts to shit.
By the way, the two I found came with a funny sidenote; met a real life member of the Fandom menace the same day among the kids who immediately dunked on Star Wars by calling Disney's work a bootleg when they heard that these two wanted to see Plan 9.

I remember this debate from when Mass Effect: Andromeda first came out. A big mistake game companies make is that they outsource character modeling and animations to cheap Indian firms who essentially copy and paste the face capture data into the game. Face capture technology isn't perfect and faces require some post-capture aesthetic adjustments to make them look normal. This is especially true when your face model have freakishly weird features, like the woman who played Cere.

What even is the point of Disney as a company if they don't want to either make film, shows, games, etc. that is either even somewhat faithful of its origin or to past fans (or both)? That's what your company was built on ffs.

I fully expect Disney to spin all the hate videos as "We have quite a buzz about the movies!" They'll rely on general ignorance of investors who won't know what a "fandom menace" is.
Disney has been accused and is more than likely guilty of cooking their books. They'll expect their investors to simply nod and agree.
They'll say things like units sold when referring to products but they'll be referring to what they conned stores into taking into their inventory and not what actually was bought by consumers.
For example, A local gas station chain bought cases upon cases of Star Wars punch from when TLJ launched. They went from full price to 4 for 99 cents.
Disney knows they're in shit. They just will avoid bad news to investors and already presented the Disney Plus week New account numbers. I'm sure they'll avoid the mention of how many accounts stayed active after their free trial.
