They, who had no investment in the Robocop program and knew nothing about it, responded emotionally on their slightest whims. Pulled in too many different directions and contradictory commands, he became useless trying to please everyone at once. Eventually Robo saved himself by frying his own circuits and clearing it all out, resetting his brain back to regular cop.

      The only thing that you need to know about Disney and Star Wars is that Disney has STILL not made a profit from buying up Lucasfilm. That never gets mentioned and that is utter and total proof that they are bad at making Star Wars. Despite the billions spent buying it, and then the films that did make money, they have still managed to spend more than they have taken in, by going over budget and so bad at writing that the stories and films have taken less and less as they progressed. They will never make a profit from it now, especially after Acolyte and if they make a stupidly expensive Rey film. And I am betting that still gets made at some point as they will never want to deal with the fallout of not actually doing it....

    Disney had no plan for continuing the narrative and thematic continuity of Star Wars and almost no plan for expanding on it.

Those were the ONLY two elements they considered, and they assumed that the broke man's with bankruptcy non-dischargable debt and syphilis Speilberg could execute on a non-vision, since he's never directed a movie with a discernible vision before.

      I don't blame her, or any other actors for their acting. It takes a good director to inspire the best performance from their actors. Unless you hear that an actor was difficult to work with and did the role their own way the responsibility should fall on the director. Because at the end of the shoot they're the ones who watch a wooden performance being filmed and say "good enough. That's a wrap."

    Genuinely, the only way for anyone to care about Star Wars again is:
    1. For Disney to not own it.
    2. For the new owners to say "Everything made after 2014 is now non-canon."
    3. Follow it up with a good movie. We can't have movies based on the New Republic Era, that ship has sailed, but there's plenty of other good material that can be adapted. I'd start with The Old Republic era.
    As it stands, I think I'll probably be dead before any of that comes even close to happening.

    If one or two directors would give Daisy Ridley the opportunity to take on a couple of strong supporting roles. I think she would have a shot at a character actress career. She seems like a super nice person, and I wish that would happen for her, but unfortunately, she got sucked into the Kathleen Kennedy trap and Kennedy is going to waste Daisy Ridley‘s best years sitting around waiting for a movie that’s never going to happen and at the end of the day she’s gonna end up having virtually no career because she got picked up to play Star Wars at a time when the studio was being run by somebody who cared more about their political ideology than they did about entertaining the folks. Again, I think Daisy Ridley is really a sweetheart, and can you imagine having been that close to decades of work only to see it fly away because Rian Johnson sucks. he doesn’t care but he destroyed her career and possibly the careers of John Boyega, Kelly Marie Tran and he harmed the couriers of Gwendolyn Christie, Domhnall Gleeson and he drove Adam Driver away.
    Adam driver will never touch the Star Wars world again. I think our universe could collide with another universe where the last Jedi was popular and our Adam driver would still stay as far away as possible from the Star Wars universe. Ryan Johnson is one of those self-absorbed, narcissistic , corporate owned shills who doesn’t care about other people because he’s too busy being the best little sycophant he can be. I just feel bad for Daisy, Ridley and John Boyega because I think they both had talent enough to be good character actors and their careers are turning into piles of dog do and it’s all because some guy thought he knew better than the hundred millions of fans and better science fiction writers who came before him.
