She's deranged.

I knew it would be a disaster when they shitcanned the EU. I was done when that happened.

The reason they didn’t use more of the EU or killed off the original cast so quickly is because they had to pay royalties if they did use them and Disney wanted to avoid paying more. That’s why galaxies edge is based off the new cast and not legacy cast. In the hubris Disney believed they could create better characters and stories than what was presented in the EU and save tons of money at the same time.

@@egcruzer This is a very good point. Well said, sir.

Look at all the Star Wars type films they messed up before buying Star Wars itself

As if NBA decided to fire all their players and insert WNBA players and cry in their pillows no one wants to watch woke girl boss nonsense. Who knew that the mainly male audience don’t want that?

I think a lot of the issues came from Disney assuming that Kathleen Kennedy and her creative team actually knew what they were doing. The Star Wars franchise needed purpose, direction and a strong hand on the tiller to build on what had already been created. Instead we got 'The Force is Female' and modern day identity politics. It ruined the sequel trilogy and has poisoned virtually every other show that Lucas film has come up with. If you want to understand how much of a failure the Kennedy tenure has been just compare Lucasfilm to the Marvel studio.

True, but at this point I'm glad Disney decided it wasn't good enough for them. At least they didn't ruin the EU too.

The EU would never ever have been adapted. If it was, The Mouse would then have to pay Zahn and the other writers for the use of their characters and plots. And you can't get a third yacht if the money is not staying within Lucasfilm.

@@tyr3759 The old Expanded Universe.

Been saying this for years. Young idealogs with absolutely zero talent push their ideas into already established worlds and characters. Easier to do that than create something new. Star Wars. Marvel. DC. Video game franchises. The Witcher. Eye of The World ( favorite book series ever). Rings of Power. The list goes on and will continue to unfortunately.

@@ThunderThumz I only really started thinking about that a few days ago, was shocked when I finally realised it. It really did become a trend over the last decade for these people to take over super popular ips and push their evil agendas through that.

Actually George Lucas still owns the rights to the original characters he created. So Disney would have to pay royalties on any story/character they used. So disney is both cheap and talentless

​@@ThunderThumz because they knew that creating a new character bearing their ideology would not get the same attention as those established characters. They have ruined alot of franchise. Star wars, marvel, LOTR, etc

He's actually wrong. Star Wars is SUPPOSED to be the story of Anakin, per George Lucas.

​@@VitaminCBable well.. E 4, 5 & 6 which was the movies I grew up with.. (I was born 1 month after the premiere of the original movie) - and those movies are about Luke Skywalkers journey. The overall plot might be about Anakin but that won't change that those 3 movies are about Luke. Don't really care about the other ones to be honest :-) ... but I didn't know he has proclaimed that fact. So I guess I should thank for the info.

@@VitaminCBable It's a story about filial love. 1,2,3 are about Anakin's fall. 4,5,6 about his redemption by his son. Of course male heroes aren't allowed to have straight sons or to pass on their mantle to them in new feminist Hollywood. So this was completely ruined by the Disney trilogy.

@@VitaminCBable George Lucas doesn't get to dictate which movies I should like and which I call trash. In his opinion, The Empire Strikes Back was the very worst SW movie. And he thought Jar Jar Binks would be the greatest sci-fi character of all time. Lucas' professional opinion is worthless. He's objectively wrong.

@@VitaminCBable The Prequels are about Anakin, OT is about Vader and Luke, Sequels per EU canon are about Luke, for a while, when he kicks the bucket they become about the Legacy of the Skywalker Lineage. This is why People should read the EU more often.

@@Bayard1503 You arent a personal assistant for a serial rapist and don't know it, with that said i could care less about how good of a creator she is.

Right. They would be terrified that it would be more successful in other hands, proving them incompetent. Better to destroy it, and blame toxic fans.

Disney can’t sell the IP. It’s damaged goods and the monetary value is waaaaaaay down from where Disney bought it. All Disney cares for is accumulating money.

_Disney should just sell Lucasfilm at this point._ The dragon doesn't let things leave its hoard. It'll squat on those IP just so no one else can have them. Look at what they've done with _The Muppets_ in the last 20 years: the sum of 'f-' and 'all'.

Could you imagine if they really sold Star Wars back to George? For the exact same amount that they originally bought it? 😄

Even if Disney wanted to sell Star Wars, who would buy it? It USED to be worth billions, but now it's a fixer-upper at best. The only way Disney would find a buyer would be at fire-sale prices that would make their investors furious. So they can't, even if they wanted to. Now, there will come a point where they HAVE to sell things because they're losing so much money that any cash is good. The question is whether they'll be wise enough to shop it around then or whether other predatory companies will just wait until Disney completely dies and loot it off Disney's corpse in bankruptcy court. It might still be tempting enough that someone might wish to pick it up and avoid the competition of the jackals at the end.

And that's still true. It never occurred to me or bothered me once I knew that I was the only one. Sci fi and exploration appeal to guys. This garbage they are making appeals to people who don't know who they are....and that's about it.

@@darthlaurel YEah sadly those "who don't know who they are" is becoming a larger and larger % of people, and if i was really leaning into "theory" then i might say they actually are trying to make that happen (in addition to the destruction of some of these favorite franchise(s) with the goal of purposely demoralizing those who make up the majority of fans of those franchise(s), but i hope i'm wrong about that).

​@@darthlaurel They think the reason sci-fi, superheroes and stuff like that appeal to guys is because it's always been made for guys. I don't have any problem with trans people but I think we need to admit each gender naturally behaves and sees the world in different ways. I have a bunch of raccoons that live in an old barn on my property. Once the babies are around 6 months old I can tell just from their behavior who the males and females are. The males are more aggressive and independent while the females still stick close to their mother. To some that sounds like I'm giving more "positive" traits to the males but I'm not. Aggressive and independent behavior is sometimee stupid behavior. The females sticking close to their mother is the right idea if they want to remain safe. Neither is behaving in a "better" way; they're just different. Sci-fi and superheroes being guy things doesn't mean other people who aren't guys can't like them. Anyone can watch a Disney princess movie and enjoy it even though those are for girls. No interest is better than any other, just different.

@@Dack.howaboutyou That's the real problem, when everything is relative there's no solid ground to stand on; I think we've gone too far in that direction.

@@darthlaurel when I was a kid in the 90's, I wasn't aware of any girls around me that liked Star Wars or Star Trek. Of course it's likely some did, I just didn't meet them, or they didn't talk about it. Back then, I guess it was considered nerd shit and mocked by plenty of guys as well. So it wasn't even seen as stuff only boys liked, but stuff only nerd boys liked. But when I first started going online around 95-96, I found there were plenty of both boys and girls in SW and ST chat rooms. So I think going online made us "nerds" be able to connect and realize there were others out there who liked the same stuff, both boys and girls.

↖Meanwhile Hasbro is looking damn based with a franchise for boys being liked by boys and a franchise for girls being liked by all kinds of people, and it wasn't even planned, but tellingly happened through the approach of hiring someone who utterly loves the material. Although dunno whether part of that is simply an understanding that they don't have the funding for grandiose screwup.

I'm told that Multiverse of Madness often had the scripts they were shooting finished the night before they were needed. And the author himself admits that he often had no idea where he was going.

Isn't The Acolyte set in this new "High Republic" era?

Facts. I have this trilogy in book form and it's amazing, easily my favourite of the EU novels (including the excellent Thrawn trilogy).

They are never going to do any of the comics or books. Pretty sure they stated this in interviews as well. They only will create content done under their label and their writers. Any content that isn't under a Disney label is non cannon to them. Kinda greedy of them, especially since their content is making them garbage proceeds.

And it be good that they don’t, cause they’d butcher and humiliate Bane, leave the master of masters alone please.

Of course they could drop the disney trilogy and make a series of movies based on a well curated version of the best selling, most popular 40 EU books. Probably make 40 billion dollars (if they were start enough to start the early shows with lower but reasonable budgets). But ... nah... they want to create random new stories they *own* completely (so they owe no royalties to anyone) which have an 80% chance of failure even if they didn't have toxic misandrist ideology associated with them.

​@stevewright9779 it's dangerous to utter such words in the halls of the EU, but I think I agree.

There is so much damage that needs to be fixed at Lucasfilm. Even if KK and all her kultists are kicked out, it will be a herculean task to piece the company back together. And even if Disney hires a business and creative genius, it will take well over a decade to get Lucasfilm back in a somewhat working manner. But the scars will always remain.

Disney need to sell Lucas Film first

Even though it sucks double because of wokeness the reality is lucasfilm purely works because of Lucas and the original star wars. Star Wars is the original series and to an extent the prequel - beyond that it doesn't really work that well aside from with mega fans.

We could also have some chapters were we see B Yoda training with Luke, and develop its character beyond a plot McGuffin. And I'm just spitballin ideas here, there's so many better ways to develop the series while maintaining the walking plushie in it other than "yeah, they're together again, whatevs"

The Courtship of Princess Leia. Probably the single best book-to-movie-SW conversion target i can think of- it's got so much variety of cool stuff in it! They even put some of it in one of the SW video games i believe (witches of Dathomir?). There's Rancor that are so big they show the one in RotJ is only a small juvenile. There's the Hapan Empire with their gorgeous people (Decendants of pirates) and cool battleships. The whole thing where Han goes deep into the underworld to find a high stakes card game where he can win riches (title or planet or something to compete with the Hapan Prince who might marry Leia instead of him). Luke and the witches do a bunch of 'cool Force stuff'. At the planet Dathomir, where most of the story takes place, there's imperial blockade and garrison on ground (because even the Emperor was afraid of these witches, one of them in particular), so we have a fixed badguy along with drama among the 3rd party Witches. For the first time in any media i have ever seen or read, Luke actually does something that makes him deserve the name Skywalker in this novel... it's awesome iirc!

the yuuzhan vong were terrible

@@doltBmB i agree. Yuuzhan vong were kind of scary but i didn't think they were particularly special, interesting or cool besides making an okay villain in a sci-fi/fantasy setting. I know it's tempting though, since there is a fair bit of content with Yuuzhan Vong in it, and they seem like they are some of the biggest challenges to "The Heroes" of Star Wars since Vader and the Emp were alive... but they weren't particularly "Star Wars", if you know what i mean, which is "okay", but i think other things would be better.

Yeah that's what I think. She has to know some dirty secrets if they still haven't fired her.

The end-credit teaser of Boba Fett killing Bib Fortuna and sitting on the throne should have been the *end* scene of season one. All of his motivation, plotting, scheming and struggle to sit on that throne should have been the story with only one season. After his ascent to power he should have been a major recurring threat to characters in The Mandalorian or other shows as a formidable, villainous recurring side character.

Could've had the next Breaking Bad or Sons of Anarchy, but no.

We should´ve had some stuff like Boba meeting Carde or other EU high profile bounty business people, so he could establish his business (in and off planet), thats the way it should´ve went, instead we got nonsense Boba spending the whole season on the same desert planet meeting power Rangers and needing Mando to save his ass. It was really a go nowhere season, it should´ve been a season of Boba networking with Bounty hunters and businesses and attempting to regain back his reputation after his humiliating time in Sarlac Pitt and his time serving the Empire, this was actually something they tried to bring into the show with Cad Bane mentioning Boba´s bad rep in his debut episode and subsequent fight and defeat, but it came too Fing late in the show, if we had it established early that Cad works with Spice Traders and has higher Rep than Boba so locals dont trust Boba to take over Jabba´s crime lord business, so Boba would´ve to work his way up to the kind of Rep he used to had to build up a more legit biz, I could´ve stomached him becoming a bit more soft (but still a bounty biz focused business lord). He could´ve became like Giorno Giovanna trying to get the drugs out of Tattoine, but still claiming it as his own in the end of the show, thats what it should´ve always been about.

At what point do you just morn the franchise, begin ignoring the thing that's wearing it as a skinsuit, and move on?

@@GutsofEclipse I pretend the new stuff doesn't exist! What i have been doing [as an '80s child who grew up reading EU stuff all through the '90s gradeschool years], is keep going back to previous content, and EU stuff.

No Rogue One, no Solo, and certainly no sequels. The EU stuff i read is ingrained in my psyche; i grew up re-reading them all.

Jedi Academy Trilogy. Dark Empire 1,2,3 etc. The Courtship of Princess Leia. Plus innumerable others. These blow those recent movies and shows completely away as far as i can tell. Even the Tales of the Bounty Hunters/Cantina/Jabba's Palace etc and the X-wing series seems to be way better.

Exactly, yeah wokeness makes the new stuff suck ten times as hard but even without that - new stars wars was only ever going to be an increasingly boring cash in.

Indeed. It came from a place of heart and passion, something Modern Disney and Lucasfilm lacks.

It's not even wokeness. People come with the expectation that Star Wars stories should be great. The greatness will come from good stories set into the Star Wars universe.

@festo Jango Fett was the template for the Clone Army. Boba Fett was an unaltered clone of Jango that Jango recieved for giving his DNA for cloning. One reason they might not have know is that the army was needed immediately and the Republic didn't have time to make a new army using someone else as a basis for the clones. Another reason might have been that the Clone Troopers were not a direct clone because modifications were made by the Kaminoins (such as sped up aging) and they didn't think the clones would go against them. It turned out they were wrong but might be a reason.

There's nothing experimental about the prequels. There just plain shit, with incompetent direction, editing and acting. The bare bones plots are pretty decent, but the writing is convoluted crap. Lucas had grand ideas in his early years, but he sold out those ideas for $$$. I used to delude myself that the prequels weren't trash, but I've been much happier since I gave up on childish franchises that haven't been good in ages....though I still talk about how awful those childish franchises online. (Nerd habits die hard.)

@@derkeheath5172 Lucas' grand ideas were copied from space opera books and lord of the rings. Do you agree?

That is so unrealistic and terrible that I wouldn’t say it’s out of the realm of possibilities for these people

🤣😂🤣 True.

I'd rather see random "unrelated" stories set in the star wars universe rather than getting legacy characters trotted out every movie/show. Mando was a good chance, but it looks like disney couldn't help themselves and destroyed that too.

@@TravisHi_YT Depends, if they respect the Canon lore to it or not, we´ve seen with High Republic they dont care about the canon rules of the franchise in a era where Sith Ro2 was a thing we see no sith pure bull.

She failed upwards so hard that she's effectively unreachable

Seconded. Lucas might not be able to write dialogue for his life, but a world creator he certainly is. He would dabble with such matters as how the Tusken, never using water for anything, would clean themselves. Lucas is right there with Tolkien in this, in manner if not in capacity; mulling over minuscule matters that don't seem to fit the larger picture, however insignificant for an outsider - things that no one would probably question them about. I venture the reason for this is that for these kind of guys, these places of their imagination are as just real as their own physical reality. Tolkien even had a term for this, which he called _subcreation._ That's why their worlds feel like living things.

Yep. Definitely a huge lore guy. That’s why he would screw up and call lightsabers “lazer swords”. That’s why he told Timothy Zahn to just take what he wanted from the roleplaying campaign setting for lore. That’s why he wanted to call the third film Revenge of the Jedi. LOL. He’s an effects guy who got lucky
