About 200 employees are being let go at Disney’s AB C News Group and Disney Entertainment Networks unit, people familiar with the matter said.The layoffs are being announced to employees as early as Wednesday and represent just under 6% of the combined staff at the two units, according to one of the people with knowledge of the cuts. The cuts are the latest of several staff reductions over the past few years at Disney, which like many entertainment companies is looking for ways to save on what used to be core businesses as it spends more on sports and entertainment content to compete in the streaming marketplace. Ratings and revenue are down at many cable channels as consumers ditch cable packages and advertisers flee for streaming services and digital platforms.

The ABC news magazine shows “20/20” and “Nightline” are consolidating into one unit, resulting in job cuts, the people said. ABC is also eliminating the political and data-driven news site 538, which had about 15 employees. All three hours of “Good Morning America” branded shows will be consolidated under one person; previously, the third hour had a separate production team.
At the Disney Entertainment Networks unit, which houses broadcast networks and cable channels such as Freeform and FX, there will be staffing reductions in program planning and scheduling. The industry newsletter Status first reported that cuts were coming to ABC News.

Midichlorians were never an explanation for the force, they were an explanation for force sensitivity. It was never really addressed in the original trilogy why some people could use the force and others couldn’t (which leads some OT purists like JJ Abrams to believe that anyone could use the force) but it was implied to be hereditary considering Luke, Leia, and Vader.

It isn't, but Lucas botched his explanation. What really ruined Lucas' version for me was The Clone Wars where the Force is actually revealed to be a trinitarian god (Father, Son, Daughter) and the Son was the dark side, the Daughter was the light side. Meanwhile you have authors like Drew Karpyshyn who did great work at trying to expand or explain the force, but he was relegated to books.

Keep in mind Lucas didn’t really consider anything Star Wars related that wasn’t made by him to be canon, and during the making of Filoni Wars he more or less took a back seat to Filoni’s story writing to focus on the technical aspects of the show. He was basically a grandpa letting his autistic grandson play with his toys because he felt anything he did basically didn’t matter anyways.

An insider told the Mail: 'Disney are already anticipating an anti-woke backlash against Snow White and have reduced the media schedule to just a handful of tightly controlled press events. 'That is why they have taken the highly unusual step not to host a London premiere for the film and are minimising the amount of press questions that Rachel Zegler gets.'

The movie would still look like trash, but they could have just avoided all this shit by training the retard on how to talk. All she had to say is I loved the film as a kid, every girl across the world sees themselves as the princess, the themes are universal, and maybe say something sappy like how one of the more common nicknames dads will give their daughter is their little princess or something.

Directors and producers can always just say they respect the original source material, but when doing live actions adaptions be they film or play often times the best person for the job doesn't always match the race.

All of this would just be bullshit PR talk, but maybe they would avoid so much trouble if they could even be bothered to lie.

I'm just glad the decanonized Legends so all the retarded shit stays in its own continuity doesn't taint it. Even the stupidest shit from Dark Empire has far more passion than Disney slop.

I never understood the hate for Dark Empire unless it came from Zoomers who grew up on the prequels and hated that it didn't fit with the prequels as Vader was the chosen one and all that nonsense. They're fun comics and when they were released in the early 90s and they did a fantastic job in getting people interested in the Star Wars comics again after almost a decade of stagnation. I still regard Veitch as my favorite EU writer, even as short lived as his time was in the EU. The real blemish with that series was Veitch rapidly concluding the comic because he no longer wanted anything to do with Star Wars after two disputes he had.

Going back to the 90s, when I read Star Wars stuff as a kid, the EU never made the force out to be this hereditary trait like George Lucas did. I always interpreted it as something you could reach if you focused but you could attain it. The one thing I vividly remember was the Kevin J Anderson Jedi Academy books and the best comparison to how the force worked with people was similar to Harry Potter, yeah you can pass it down to your kids but people out of nowhere could get it. Of course sitting in the theaters back in 1999 made me change my mind on the subject until I stopped caring.

Funny enough, South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone both mention how much they hated the idea of hereditary force use and originally thought anyone could use it if they believed; at least that is what I recall on the DVD commentary for the Jakovasaurs episode. Trey really went into that he thought it really took away from the mystique of the force and I'm inclined to agree.

Sounds like a lot of old nerd shit to me. Frankly, space wars is like a used up whore.

They need to cut all of their DEI hires and commissars. That's the real source of their problems. But of course, they'd rather cut the actual production workers instead.

They get Fink bucks for injecting the niggers in, and those won't be stopping so long as B.R.I.D.G.E. is mandated.

You thought it stopped with D.E.I.? Lol, no. The kikes play the longest games of all. And no one is talking about B.R.I.D.G.E. anymore.

Over and above that, they have lost literally everyone capable of doing anything different. They only employ writers and other "creatives" who have zero credits to their name and are usually related to someone in the "financial" side because they don't have to pay them. Talentless hacks who are only capable of making the same tired snarky girlboss shit ad nauseum. Pile on that the either mandated or innate toxic positivity, and it's just a recipe for more utter garbage.

Even if they actually wanted to make something good or different (they don't), they don't have anyone able to.

I mean the idea of “suddenly, Palpatine returned” is rather hacky, and even without the prequels explaining Anakin as a “chosen one” it still greatly diminishes his sacrifice at the end of TRJ. Those criticisms were valid when DE came out and are still valid today, although TRS shows how that concept could be executed even worse.

The Star Wars EU (as in Legends) early on had a lot of contradictions with the PT (for example, the clone wars were originally explained as playing out very differently, with the clones actually being the enemies the Jedi were fighting rather than their allies), this makes sense when you consider that, like I said in my previous post, George Lucas didn’t really consider the EU canon, or at least canon in the same way that stuff he made was. Iirc as soon as he became more involved in the EU project he basically sent a memo for EU writers to not elaborate on anything from the timeframe involving what would become the PT since he was working on a movie trilogy in that timeframe and didn’t want EU writers to further muddy the waters, hence why most of the EU focused on events occurring after the OT until the PT finally came out.

Also regarding force heritability, it should be noted that if the OT is taken in a vacuum, there aren’t actually any explicit mentions that the force is anything but hereditary, since half the force users we see are family members (Vader, Luke, Leia), nothing about the lineage of the other force users in mentioned, and there are lines explicitly mentioning that the force is hereditary (like in the scene when Luke reveals to Leia that she is his sister). Only the EU and later the PT explicitly clarified that force sensitivity has the potential to randomly appear in anyone (through the dreaded midichlorians), as well as being hereditary.

Iirc in interviews George Lucas has stated force sensitivity is akin to some people being innately good at math, so the plan was never that anyone could use the force, and interpreting it that way creates a lot of plot holes (why isn’t the Empire training more Sith and why isn’t Obi-wan/Yoda training the Rebels to use the force? Why aren’t there entire armies of force users, since that would be a very valuable skill to have). People point to Obi-wan’s description of the force to Han in ANH as proof anyone can use the force but all the line says it that the force is present in all living things, not that all living things actually have the ability to manipulate it like Jedi/Sith. In fact, I would argue the idea of anyone being able to use the force actually makes the force less magical and special.

I never said it was just hereditary, I just pointed out that if you take the OT in a vacuum there isn’t any explicit mention of why some people can use the force and others can’t. The EU and PT later explicitly stated that people are born with force sensitivity at random, unless they inherited their force sensitivity from their parent or parents.
