Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

Jesus Christ, No 50th anniversary celebration, having to close again, no movies, projects with ridiculous budgets, based Japan telling them to fuck off with the Splash Mountain thing. This year man, this fucking year it truly feels that we are getting into the climax of the movie and I'm dying to see the end.

Wait what did glorious nippon do?

The gif above reminds me.....poor Hayden. He was fully welcomed back by the fandom right? Like Ahmed.

Still can't find anything on Jake Lloyd after his arrest and his sister's death. I wonder if he was institutionalized
 
Taking all bets! Which one will be the first to go?
Am I wrong to think Iger would be petty enough to refuse to let go of any of his conquests and just sell almost everything his predecessor bought aside from pixar.
ESPN and ABC might be 50/50 at this point and I wouldn't be shocked if he sells the Muppets for less than a million since I don't think anything notable has been
done with the ip recently.
Hell I wouldn't be surprised at this point if they sell the parks at this point and have a similar set up with Tokyo Disneyland where a different company owns and operates the park and Disney just gets money from licencing their name.
 
Along with Agent Kallus from the Rebels series and Finn from the Disney Trilogy.

I never watched Rebels. Honestly, the aesthetics of the Clone Wars and Rebels turned me off completely so I never gave either attention. If that shit were done in the TOR cinematic style, however...

As much as I would want this too, I don't think there's an instance on planet earth where there'll be an entire seasonal TV series with the visual splendor of an MMO Cinematic Trailer. Those fucking things are bleedingly-expensive even in the 1-2 minute quantities they exist.

Oh I know, but I can dream. Those cinematics were better than the damn game they were made for. They ran for like 7 minutes though.
 
Another shut down is almost 100% guaranteed at this point, especially with all the footage and reports going around of how bad the first re-opening was. Thing is, WDW Pro says that if they're forced to close again, Disney really will be royally fucked, and there's even more disasters going on that he isn't telling us yet. The Indy movie is basically not even happening anymore (thank heavens), live-action SW is on hold which probably means Mandalorian season 2 may be put on hold or season 3 is never coming, along with maybe Kenobi and the Calrissian Adoo shit, and the Rian trilogy is absolutely dead in the water along with any other future SW film projects. The Splash Mountain conversion is already gonna cost them a pretty penny, and judging from the comments, it seems even the Imagineers see this as insane, especially with all the other shit they have to redo. Disney is either going to beg for bailouts or be forced to start selling whatever they can.

Taking all bets! Which one will be the first to go?

ESPN, A&E and History might be the first to go imo.
Put me down for the Tron franchise, if they’re offloading dead weight it’ll be the first to go.

Call me a nostalgia whore but I still think the best stylized look for Star Wars was Gendy’s take.

I heard they stuck him in an institution, said it the only solution. To get him professional help, to protect him from the enemy, himself.

The Warcraft movie was almost that.
 
According to Itchy, this was the person in charge of editing and overseeing the Disney Wars comics and is apparently part of that "whisper network".
Would make sense considering how alike and how similarly woke all the Disney Wars comics are and she feels like an irl white version of Aphra.

Anyway, looks like Hong Kong Disneyland has already been forced to close right after re-opening with them closing the park on the 15 and with Disney World possibly to follow suit (especially when considering what a disaster its re-opening has been so far) with them apparently planning to remain closed for the rest of 2020... If WDW Pro is right (and he always is much to my chagrin) expect THE disaster. Question is, how likely is it for them to get bailed out by the government? And I know I partly joked about this before, but ESPN might really be cut off since its essentially worthless now because of Corona, but it might not be worth much, so expect a lot more to get cut loose. Disney will not cease to exist obviously, but it will drastically change from what we know it as now, not just in terms of losing intellectual properties, but with maybe even the parks going through a Tokyo Disney type arrangement but with even more ridiculously jacked up ticket prices depending on the end result.
Put me down for the Tron franchise, if they’re offloading dead weight it’ll be the first to go.
I think Muppets would go first over Tron, although would Tron really be on the chopping block? It might essentially be worthless aside from a possibly questionable third film that might never get made, but it might still have value in Japanese markets thanks to shit like Kingdom Hearts. Then again, shit is getting so chaotic that even some of the usual sources are more frantic than usual and open to any possibility, so expect anything really...

I just think there going to drop the dead weight first to save face, OT (In the article you linked) but fuck, did Chris Avellone really get metoo’d, he was probably one of the last western game developers I really liked.

Even the Disney nerds know Disney brought this upon themselves.

And there you have it.

Disney would sooner sell off assets than file for bankruptcy. And if the US parks are forced to close before summer ends, its almost assured. Bye bye ESPN... and hopefully many others.
 
I expect serious restructuring (aka layoffs and redundancies) before there are any selloffs. No company in related industries has capital to buy much right now, outside of Amazon and Apple.

Selling Tron or even The Muppets wouldn't even dent the bottom line. It's about the worst time to sell ESPN. I think it's more likely they shed some legacy industry stuff like Viacom has announced by selling off Simon and Schuster (book publishing).

True enough, but WDW Pro has proven his position before and hasn't been wrong yet, so selling assets is in the cards as far as we know, so the main buyers might be Amazon and Apple, although some assets might not be worth that much in their current state.

Muppets is pretty much a non-entity these days so selling them wouldn't really yield a profit, but there's not much else they can do with it anymore really. Legacy industry stuff would definitely go though, but which would be the most likely to go?

I can see the Muppets going, they did absolute nothing with the property, Tron I doubt it since they were just finishing building a roller coaster (but I really doubt that it would have been very popular anyways). Fox probably is going too, that shit was always a waste of money and I'm sure Iger just wanted the X-men.

Speaking of the reopening, any good videos about the disaster? The only thing I can find is from obvious Disney lovers that have a hard time pretending everything is okay while burning in the hot weather.
 
Who’s laughing now?

If they were to go for legacy stuff do you think they’d sell Pixar, I imagine things would have to get pretty bad though.

I personally think that Marvel and Pixar are the two that Disney will never want to let go under any circumstance, although, with many considering the "Marvel Era" over as of Endgame (even though they plan to make more Marvel movies and crap) and how crazy legal shit has been with them in regards to Universal and Sony, maybe anything could happen but I'm skeptical, especially after Iger foolishly spent so much just to get his hands on X-Men and F4. So maybe Buena Vista and all their Touchstone stuff might go... along with some of their TV channels. After selling off some properties expect a lot of layoffs.

Meanwhile, some are in denial even to Corona's damage and seem to outright worship Iger as a god.

Figures its the guy with the Rey avatar. I also find it amusing how even Disney fans are upset that Disney has put more focus on Star Wars than their own properties.

And not to change the subject, but this seems like it was worth sharing.
1594711778006.png

Its quite telling really.

Also the juice keeps on flowing.

Looks like things really were getting fucked and poorly managed even before Corona.

Tron is very unlikely. Not due to political will, but because no one would want to buy it for any useful amount of cash. Not to mention the time it would take to set up and close such a deal. If they have to sell things off to make a buck, they are going to be selling thing they've already been made offers on. You might as well be suggesting they'll sell the rights to "The Black Hole" - I'm sure they would if there was a ready buyer and it'd make a useful dent in their red ink.
Tron would be like being $130,000 in debt and selling off your funko pop & retro console collection. Its just not going to make a useful dent in the owed debt.

@GeneralFriendliness suggested ESPN and I can see them jettisoning that; sell off another money suck while there's no sports to profit from.

Disney would normally try to raise money by offering distribution deals - things that would have no bearing on on-going rights. But with nothing being produced/ nothing to sell... that's proably not going to be a substantial source of cash either.

My guess if they have to sell things:
They'll sell off 20th Century Fox assets before anything Disney. Its assets that aren't really "their's". It's also going to depend on how long they have to wait and how bad they need money. If they need money fast, they might have to fall on their swords and let Sony have more Marvel licensing, possibly X-men or Fantastic four as that's the only thing they have a for-sure ready buyer for, but Sony is also cash strapped IIRC.




I might try to do an explanation post of WHY the Rat's lawyers are so rabid, but I don't know that I could properly explain it except to say "Its all interconnected and if one thread unravels, the whole fucking thing comes apart". If you license out anything that even appeared in anything with Mickey, you are now undermining your ability to show you've never, ever allowed anyone else the rights to Mickey under any circumstance and your iron-fisted control over all Disney IP has no ground for dispute.

Also, just in case you have doubts about just how effective Disney lawyers are:
On Hamas Palestinian TV, literal Palestine where they have shows about 6 year-olds with guns and pretend suicide vests, they used to have a character called Farfour.
Farfour was a very blantant Mickey Mouse rip off they were trying to use to subvert (bootleg) Disney Merchandizing for their own ends of propaganda (lacking the expertise to make their own toys, they copy something that already has toys)
Anyway, Disney was not very happy about this state of affairs, and the popular Farfour character was killed off shortly after Disney's legal team got to work.


tl;dr Literal international terrorists backed down and caved to Disney's legal team's demands

TL;DR The company is in turmoil and I am absolutely giddy over the Chaos
Looks like company's internal strife is far more widespread than we thought when Weinstein's PA was brought in, back then we were thinking it was just rouge KK supporters.
According to Itchy, this was the person in charge of editing and overseeing the Disney Wars comics and is apparently part of that "whisper network".
Ah the queen cum dumpster herself, it's almost like Ya Boi Zack was onto something when he said there was a group of Portland comics mafia sending night letters and starting whisper campaigns against people showing wrong-think. Hopefully the leaker can provide more info they claim to have.

Also lol at Brian Vissagio being in the women comics group.
