That is why you fail.

@@youtub4925 care to elaborate? Fail at what?

I'd be sad. It's like sitting on the deck of the Titanic.

Congrats on missing the point of Dave’s words. And work.

@@Legomyegoorj Disney's hand is up his ass puppeteering his words.

@@Legomyegoorj Dave is a great guy and seems like a genuine human being. I appreciate him for that but why can’t I criticize art? Have you seen book of boba fett?! Don’t tell me that’s good writing on any level.

Dude. It’s the truth. Star Wars is dead. I’m with the fans. Your just living in a bubble.

@jacobshraim4231 Insisting that something is the "truth" based on zero evidence and culture warriors on the internet doesn't make it the truth. A fan isn't going to declare a franchise dead and actively cheer on failure, perceived or real. Judging by this comment if you want to see someone living in a bubble take a good long look in the mirror.

The more people like you call them "bots" and invalidate their opinion, like access media do, the more they will shout, because they're tired of being called bigots and blamed for things flopping. We've seen studios with same failed strategy of blaming fans for Ghostbusters, He-Man, Indy, LOTR, Bond, Dr Who, Terminator, MCU, Little Mermaid, so this isn't unique to Star Wars, and your bait and spite won't change that. Look at how these franchises TANK and then show it's just a "bubble" that are sick of this. In movies and gaming, fans are turning to stuff from five or ten years ago.

@Ruylopez778 They're bots. Stop trying to make excuses for them. They are clearly a minority and have nothing better to do with their time or lives then waste it on the internet.

@@brandonsmith9098 So when Willow got taken off D+, when Indy flopped, that was because of bots? We already know from Disney that 5 day viewership was 20% down Ahsoka, the second lowest debut after Andor. Even some channels that tend to be positive or neutral are either luke warm or disappointed with this show. It's got a 6.4/10 by RT top critics and 67 on metacritic. The only metacritic SW show lower is BoBF.

Thank you!!!

@@jacobshraim4231 My pleasure. I can't stand that two-faced prick.

When did he blame his audience?

If you look at how Filoni/Favreau market and make their shows it's totally different from the others. They don't get hostile to backlash, they just shut up. They don't make DEI the focus of panels or interviews. But thy have to work within the confines of Disney. I think it's more that Filoni will tolerate projects like The Acolyte, and aim to steer them in the right direction, but there's only so much lipstick you can put on a pig. I think the biggest problem s making too many shows at once, jumping around the timeline. They should have gone all in on Mandalorian as soon as the pilot show was seen to be popular, and scrapped everything else. But Favreau and Filoni also know how important characters like Luke are, and I think they're scared of doing something unpopular or risky, which leaves them stuck in the middle ground with cameos and deepfakes. They scared to recast, and would rather build up the era with their own characters like Ahsoka and Sabine. That said, BoBF and Ahsoka and Mando have some really weak and cheap scenes that undermine what they were trying to do. While KK, JJ and Rian were happy to take a wrecking ball to the franchise, I think Filoni is trying to preserve it with the tone of his shows, even they don't have the budget or time to do it properly.

​@@Kriv-kj6lk Since when is he required to be the messenger and actual mouthpiece? Hell, that he rarely talks is far and away his best attribute. Contrary to this weird, flawed, and long held perception by fans that Filoni just floats around the "Lucasfilm" offices in a state of Xanax-induced autonomy while Kitten and Harvey's Girl lob another molotov cocktail at the PR suite, Filoni is a 100% bought-in believer in the church of the DEI checkbox. He's the second vertex in the Triangle of Suck, and now he gets to share in the fun when his two idiot co-workers start sh1tting where they eat. AGAIN.
