They haven’t allowed themselves to understand what they did with TLJ. I left the theater with a friend and we both felt sick and depressed. Expectations subverted. The acolyte feels the same way, Kk hired an unqualified person to oversee this major franchise and they set about undermining the story from the opposite end of the timeline.

The real problem of modern SW is that most of the people involved in Disney’s productions, doesnt like SW at all

The insane part is that all Disney had to do was adapt some parts of the EU and they would have had a (at least mostly) satisfied fanbase It blows my mind that they insist on spending all their time and money trying to draw in audiences that will never be devoted to star wars, while simultaneously shitting on the fans that made it successful in the first place

When ahsoka was announced i nearly shit my pants. When it came out it took me over a month to finally watch it

Don't blame the community. If the creators we'rent busy trashing the franchise then the community wouldn't be this way.

Star wars is obsessed with fan service but they do it in every single wrong way. We want a good show not cool shots of random lightsaber ignitions

My disinterest actually started with rebels and Bad Batch, season 4 and 1 respectively were the textbook definition of "nobody dies"

I totally understand your point, but i am personally not ready to let go. I love star wars so much, and it just pains me to see what is becoming of it. I really wish i could just move on, or just stop complanining, but when i talk to my homies about star wars of course we are going to talk about the newest thing that came out, and if there is nothing good to say about it, that means we are going to talk about how bad it is. Its really sad for me because i really wish they would make more things like Andor but it just doesnt seem to be happening.

To perfectly describe the state of Star Wars, it's Apathy.

Its not the fans job to like product because brand name... the ones complaining are the just the one who haven't given up yet.

I loved Star Wars, I didn’t hate any trilogy and I thought the prequels were the best. I played the kotor games and they were so good. After, when I watched the sequels I thought it couldn’t get any worse, but it did

All I want is a pod racing show that has nothing to do with the main galactic conflicts. They could just adapt all the major storylines in modern F1. Could be so dope.

the fans don't "do" anything but react to what they're provided BY the production - provide better stuff and fans will react differently. There's nothing for fans to "do" better here except hope and leave when hope fails (and it pretty much has)

Bro WHAT R U TALKING ABOUT, BRO, STAR WARS IS PEAK RIGHT NOW, I MEAN.. R U KIDDING ME? HOW COULD U POSSIBLY FORGET THE ICONIC SENTENCE "SOMEHOW PALPATINE RETURNED" I MEAN, IT WAS PEAK CINEMA! I COULDNT WAIT UNTIL THE MOVIE WAS OVER TO GO SHAKE VINCE GILLIGAN'S HAND! AND MY GOODNESS, THE LAST JEDI WAS AWESOME TOO!, JAMES GUNN DID A WONDERFUL JOB PORTRAYING REY AS A TEST SUBJECT WHO WAS IN HIGH INTELLIGENCE AND FELT FOR OTHERS! I CRIED AT THE END!!!

I've been interested in Star Wars since watching the original trilogy on VHS. As I aged, I've watched the prequels, watched the clone wars shows (two of them), read some comics, and played the video games that caught my eye. By the time Disney announced it's so called sequel trilogy, I wondered how it will play out. Sadly, they're disappointing to even think about. That, and the latest media Disney dished out is so messy that only a child who doesn't know better would understand. Am I sad at how Star Wars is now? Yes. Am I gonna throw my interest in it away because of that? Hell no. Disney Star Wars is dead, but the Legends and EU Star Wars will live on in our hearts. No matter what, I'm going to keep the memories of the good Star Wars stuff right where my brain and heart is, because those memories are a part of my childhood that I got left.

the moment i saw ahsoka in clone wars, it was very much over for me; call it an additional sense (it may be lingering blatant racism tho)

after one too many mediocre star wars productions I phased out of the franchise completely for about a decade. Saw Andor of late, it was a good piece of story telling for once. Still don't have much faith in the producers.

Yeah modern star wars doesn't feels like star wars anymore. It has the Jedi, lightsabers, lasers, spaceships... but something feels wrong. It misses the soul of Star Wars. The basic idea that it was build around.

Only thing i'm still hopeful for is Andor season 2. Rogue One and Andor are the only things left holding my interest. ...which hurts me to think outside of it. All roads lead to the sequel trilogy.

Money is talking - not passon for story telling

If you never did, watch The Expanse. Best sci-fi show of all time, excluding Star Trek IP.

I have been a Star Wars fan for decades, or maybe I should now say a George Lucas era Star Wars fans for decades. I tried very hard to like the Disney version, but I just kept getting more and more disappointed until I could not reconcile it all anymore. The introduction of a female clone in The Bad Batch show and turning Clone Force 99 into daddy daycare, finally killed my interest in Disney Star Wars. I'm now simply keeping to the magic of Episode I-VI and The Clone Wars.

Nailed it

I feel this…I’m legit prepping a video very similar to yours. I’m just getting tired of Star Wars

I have been a Star Wars fan since 1977, and I still watch and enjoy it to this day. I can't understand all the hate that it gets.

It is honestly sad that Disney has destroyed Star Wars, they have been a company which is canablizing itself for years. They killed their fairytale movies with the new live action movies and they killed the Marvel movies after Inifinty War, I'm not really surprised that this is happening to Star Wars as well because if they don't respect franchises that they created then how would they respect ones that they bought. I thought my feelings about Star Wars and the like was that I'd grown up and they were things that only appealed to my child self, but that is unture. The original movies had some issues but they still hold up even as I've grown, it was Disney who killed Star Wars. They murdered one of the greatest fictional works of the 20th century.

The standards have fallen so low with Disney it’s satire now. Apathy has truly set in. I don’t think this generation we will ever see Star Wars again at its peak in terms of good writing, directing etc until KK and her cronies are out of LF. Until then the utter annihilation of Star Wars will continue.

Cool brother at least yoy dont watch something you dont like anymore, like a lot of haters that just watch to keep hating

Its the exact same for me. Andor, mandelorian S1 and clone wars was amazing, but the rest was either just uninteresting or borderline insulting. I stopped watching after Kenobi and have regretted nothing, there are other shows i can watch. Its pure apathy now. I dont even care if they start butchering the star wars canon anymore. The only sad thing is to see how much potential literally EVERYTHING had, but still most of it all failed

I’m starting to like more Jurassic park and the Monsterverse then Disney Star Wars

Do you want a Rey Movie? Rey Movie, huh? Or a little bit more of the Acolyte? They cant let the Skywalker era go. It has to be a piece of Skywalker. They fumbled the skywalker era so hard, that i feel repulsed watching Star Wars now. Now that the reveal proofed that Darth Plagueis is really only Harvey Weinstein, we should just stop accepting Disney as Canon.

There is no Star Wars anymore, it’s star woke

The Last Jedi & Rise Of Skywalker = Bad Motherfucker movies!

It’s all opinions I guess. Bad Batch, I absolutely love.

I often hear the saying: There are no new stories. Everything was tried at least once. Judging by my reading experience, I agree. This is why modern writers, the good ones, do not try to create an original story. They, more often, switch genres. Placing, for example, a typical fantasy story into a sci-fi environment. Or go deeper into a matter, exploring the usual tropes from a new Point of View. However, it takes skill and knowledge of existing material. It is not enough to wish to subvert expectations; you need to know what those expectations are and be capable of coming up with an alternative. This is where Andor succeeds. They took the worldbuilding of Star Wars and explored the implications. They dug deeper into the flimsy premise and created a human story everyone could enjoy. This is where Return of the Jedi fails. The movie looks like someone has thrown a bunch of plot points on the whiteboard, stuff they wanted to happen, and never bothered with connecting those and analysing if they make sense, particularly in the SW universe and for human viewership in general. They always avoided asking if the characters act according to their... well, character. Or occupation. This is why we got Luke, who is not Luke, and a Purple-haired Vice Admiral, who is not an admiral at all. This is also why most Star Wars shows and movies for Disney fail. I can agree or disagree with the direction in which they take the Star Wars universe. This is more or less irrelevant. But I expect them to take their freaking job seriously. I want to see an effort put into the creation that exceeds an average amateur writer on Royal Roads. How could it be that I know fanfics with better stories, written with infinitely better understanding? They have budgets for hiring a team of development editors and fact-checkers, which would stay under the catering allowance for their productions. I expect professionalism from people earning per project more than I earn in a lifetime cranking out computer code.

They should stop making most franchises. Milked to oblivion with no end in sight. Desecrating pre-established lore needlessly, blaming fans for their shit show, and calling them "ists" and "phobes." Not a very smart move but hey what the hell....who cares now....

Acolyte is the first star wars show I easily decided I won't watch.

I have been an obsessed fan for 25 years and Ive never felt so disfranchised with Star Wars. Its not just some mediocre to bad content, its the rabid fanbase. There is alot of good things about Star Wars still to enjoy and discuss, but the community doesn't do that anymore. Most channels that aren't lore specific channels, are just grifters now. With a handful of exceptions the lore channels act like nothing after 2008 counts. I don't want to leave, but I guess I will just have to enjoy it alone.

Reject Disney Wars and accept Star Wars ended when Lucas sold the franchise. It'll take some getting used to but you'll be better off for it.

The problem with your post is that many people also had a problem with the prequels when it came out just like you have a problem with Disney’s Star Wars. There are plenty of bad lines in the prequels but people still enjoyed them. And the complainers of the prequels were eventually relegated to the sidelines, as a future generation grew up with them. Same will happen again

I have been a Star Wars fan for about 10 years since the force awakens came out And after that I started getting really into it like the lore different Planets, creatures, animals, technology, languages, Weapons ships, vehicles, quotes etc. And For the past months or years, there was a time where I just wanted to Give up On a franchise that I love since the force awakens just because of how the fan base is it was just too much for me to handle Because not only here I see it On youtube put facebook instagram etc. But then I tried my best not to let go of a franchise because if I did let go of a franchise that I loved and I wouldn't watch all these newer shows Especially the movies as well. But I could totally understand where you're coming from And why star wars has been pretty disappointing for you and you guy's as well and i fully respect on that. But for me though I'll still continue to watch star wars because again I don't want to let go this franchise I want to keep continuing watching it just without the toxic Getting in my way.

People are becoming less and less interested in SW because that's Disney's goal by making slop. Blackrock is going to give them the money either way as long as their shows are woke. If you are interested in real SW content, you can find it in the old Expanded Universe. Not really shows or movies, but rather books, comics and games.

You’re part of the problem if you refuse to come back even when SW is back in its glory days.

What a great video definitely deserves a like and a sub

Stopped caring about star wars like 20 years ago yo

Star Wars fell off in the same way Guitar Hero and Rock Band did. Way too much stuff too quickly that wasn't good enough or interesting enough to be worth your time and money.

Star wars was never a good franchise never did it in the Prequels and I do not like them. Because they're not good movies, and it doesn't now. Star Wars works best as a TV series.

At least there are the pre-Disney books to consume, I was pretty meh when Force Awakens came out, but The Last Jedi was just insulting and Rian Johnson is a prick, made me sick watching an interview after the Last Jedi had come out where he said, with Mark Hamill in the room, “Well no one liked Empire when it came out either” The man is full of shit. Anyway just as Disney tossed all the great canon they had to work with, I tossed this stuff and went back to the original canon. I know George never put his blessing on all the books or anything, but they at least have so much more respect for the source material. I’m holding out hope that fans will eventually make fully fleshed out versions of the Thrawn Trilogy, individuals on KZfaq have already taken a good crack at it.

Just stop watching. See how easy that is?

Rogue One really wasn't that good and Solo was terrible.

The moment kylo ren got introduced it was over for me, the originals is where its at the rest is a political shit fest of tantrum child like men and injected female power pushing

Do you think we are your therapist? I don't want to know another man's 'feelings'. Analysis, insights, make connections, deepen our appreciation for a work of art. Most Star Wars whiners have nothing useful to say, and you too the cake. Get useful, or get lost!

it is ok.. there are still many many shows for people who want to see their white homies in every scene.
