Star Wars Is A Dead Franchise
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 бер 2023
- So I was forcing myself to watch The Mandalorian the other day when the realisation hit me - Star Wars as a franchise is dead. Its been dying for a long time, but now there's no hiding it. Nobody cares about it anymore. It died because Disney killed it.
Want to help support my work? Then check out my first comic on Indiegogo: www.indiegogo....
When you don’t even hate something but stopped caring about it altogether is the greatest sadness …
100% The power to make a fan completely apathetic is a kind of super-power.
When you simply can’t be arsed with her…no matter how fit she is.
Star Wars is actually not a dead franchise....we can now flip the script upon the radical secularizing republican freemasonic Jedi seeking their universal republic without national distinctions.
The Empire are the good guys, despite the musings of Star Wars' authors: husband and wife.

Opposite of love isnt hate it’s indifference
@@darylwilliams7883 If you're a writer, it's called and editor!!
Disney had this golden franchise for less than a decade and they managed to completely destroy it and piss on the ashes.
Remember how everyone hated the old expanded universe? like or hate it, it's still better than any of the shit disney has given us since TFA.
Well said...

@@delta2372 That was the first sign they were going to ruin it. When they discarded ALL of it as "legends". There were better characters and stories by writers who respect the lore.
Uhhhhhh remember the Prequels. They were HATED when they were first released
Hearing the critical drinker talk about how Disney butchered Star Wars is honestly much more entertaining than anything Disney puts out
definitely
And better put together
@@TriyambakMeena Nope the prequals were absolutely gold compared to the pile of shit which is modern star wars.
@@TriyambakMeena After george lucas sold star wars to disney, it became trash.
The strategy of the Bob Iger is sell FallDisney to another woke Company for a low price.
The state of Star Wars is living proof that you can't just throw money at something to make it good. No amount of money can magically generate creativity/talent. It's the one thing Disney can't buy.
Rings of Power is maybe a better one. I think the money is actually the problem. If thy slashed the budget of Star Wars by about 80% they would need to focus on story and plot as there would be nothing else to play with.
you can buy talent though. and they probably have talented people. but in the end the decisions are made by the empty suits.
Just face it it’s a childish story and we all grow up !
Its the psg of movies
The only people that think it's good are the counterfeit genders.

@@rogersmith7396 **loses investment value** **proceeds to withdrawal more money**
It's as if a million Disney+ subscriptions cried out in pain and were suddenly cancelled.
It’s been dead ever since Disney got there corporate hands on it
Im the biggest capitalist system fanboy ever existed, but this way of wasting makes me feel sick af.
Kennedy's incompetence is absolutely shocking, and the only thing more shocking is the fact that she wasn't replaced years ago.
I mean she was a divesity hire what did you expect(why women are considered a minority for hiring purposes despite outnumbering men is a mystery I will never understand probably because I'm trying to find logic where there is none)
Right "incompetence" don't fall for it, she is a Misandrist that knows exactly what she is doing.
Amen, brother!
perhaps it's not incompetence (that's just the excuse), and the ones actually paying her are very happy with her performance...
@@GobbettTheGamer demolitions judging by her performance
Arguably the biggest issue with The Mandalorian is that it already ended. The finale of season 2 was perfect. We don’t need to know exactly what happened after Grogu went to train with Luke, it was a powerful enough ending to a story in its own right.
Yes, should have left the rest to imagination.
Apparently grogu was not supposed to be in season 3, they did reshoots after he was brought back too early in boba fett
strongly disagree. it didn't give the mandalorian enough closure on what will happen with the darksaber. the mandalorian's story is not just grogu being given to a jedi.
The other thing with the Mandalorian is that it's supposed to be more of a serial. It's heavily inspired by things like Jonah Hex, Renegade, Paladin and Usagi Yojimbo. It's supposed to be a slow burn that isn't pulling on your emotions all the time.
That said it was clear Star Wars was dead with Kenobi. If you're going to have more bad going out than good and treat your legacy characters like that the franchise has no hope of recovery. Dave Filoni saved Star Wars twice but he's not a miracle worker.
Theres a theory going around which i pretty much agree that Grogu wasnt supposed to be on season 3, and this season was going to focus on reuniting the mandalorians, but since it was decided he needed to come back, the script was rewriten and the season feels all over the place
Making social media addicts your target audience, hiring people who want to insert their fanfics in the franchise and suffering from huge instances of nepotism can kill a franchise?
Who could have imagined?
Lucas, probably. I'm convinced selling it to Disney was an intentional snub to be vindictive against all those "haters" he was so bothered about every time he released another shitty edit to his films
Luke in the original trilogy: "My father has killed billions of innocent people, but I know that I can save him because there’s still good in him."
Luke in the sequels: "Well my nephew had a dream about the dark side so let’s turn him into sachimi."
@Spacetrooper Um, she was featured in Season 2 as Imperial officers serving Moff Gideon. Just think she's an undercover imperial agent, wait and see.
Scream 6 had some solid meta commentary on franchises and their obsession with tarnishing legacy characters and replacing them altogether. It's one of the dumbest phenomenons in all of Hollywood.
@Spacetrooper person ally she isn't bad as character
Yah it was a little ridiculous. They did Luke's character so dirty in the follow up trilogy.
10/10 writing 😂
I guess Disney bought the golden goose, and instead of waiting for it to lay the golden eggs, decided to cut it open and get all the eggs out.
Most accurate analogy I’ve ever heard
Clever statement
Yes, and you'd think this woke group at Disney would value something like "sustainability"!
they wanted to get golden eggs and instead all they got was goose shit
@@counterterror101 Yes, and we certainly have not seen any "foie gras" get served up from Disney lately. ;D LOL
Star Wars was intended as a modern myth. By killing off, undermining or ridiculing the mythical heroic characters and their accomplishments, they have disenchanted the golden goose, it now lays rotten eggs.
The sad part is that the fandom menace are holding out their hands towards the evil mouse, begging for more rotten eggs and trying to convince us all that they’re “akshually fresh.”
Until Mando season 3, people like TCD, doomcock, and others were singing the praises of Disney Star Wars via Rogue One, Mando, and Andor. What happened? Did the stench become too much for even *them* to bare?
"...now it lays rotten eggs."
Just like me
Well said
A space saga
Perfectly said. Boba Fett was not killed off, but the most feared, effective bounty hunter became a "crime lord" who does no crime whatsoever
The mandalorian just blatantly giving up on the dark saber genuinely pissed me off. It would have been epic to see a mere bounty hunter ascend to possibly redeeming and reuniting his people but he flat out said “nah it’s the benches for me”
Yeah and then he has to decide his kingdom or baby Yoda.
Could be a hard emotional choice and make the series exciting
Did all that just to have it destroyed. Retarded af. Should have been Dins darksaber and maybe years down the line he dies and the darksaber is given to grogu. Imagine that a mandalorian, darksaber weilding grogu.
No tho, let's just break it
Its the fact that theyve already told the same story in star wars rebels is what pisses me off im gonna be honest who really cares and wants bo katan to rule mandalore? She already tried and fucked it up wouldve been so much better if in the end it came down to a 1v1 with the darksaber between the two with Mando begrudgingly accepting the darksaber and Bo Katan to learn to be a follower was teased so hard at the end of 2 and its mishandled so poorly in 3
YES. It was so lame...
Tht really disappointed me too.
If only there was a plethora of books or novels that explored various compelling storylines in this franchise that could have been turned into interesting movies 😳
They don’t push the ‘message’ though
According to KrazzyKat this doesn't exist.😂😂😂😂
Disney will corrupt the books with strong female characters and the message. Just look at The Witcher has become
I would like to see an R rated movie inspired by some of the books. At that point, I don't know what they have to lose.
@@saberalter1586
What everything has become, basically.
"Leave the past behind, kill it if you have to"
This is how I feel about Disney products.
Now that's something I may have to feel about Dr Who, since they announced that Disney is getting involved. The franchise has been in the toilet for years, and I quit watching, but this...I just don't know.
[EDIT: I am a Star Wars fan, but as a Brit, Dr Who meant a lot more to me.]
A very funny retardation.
yo! but I think we need to give Rian Johnson more credit for writing this line. I think he was foreshadowing exactly the kind of Star Wars fatigue we're all feeling now with the theme of killing the past. We're all just catching up to it now
@@elstcman5 I think you're onto something there.
That’s how I feel about grogu
It's really astonishing how they've taken something so beloved in my childhood and made me absolutely despise it and anyone who talks about it. Good job.
Every time I hear star war I get angered
Every time I hear star wars i think: what a shame, sigh and move on
Every time I hear Star Wars I think "oh yeah those movies and books I loved when I was a kid before The Phantom Menace came out and ruined it."
"Let the past die, kill it if you have to." Jesus Christ how accurate that quote ended up being! So accurate that it killed the future too!
"Those who forget..." I can't remember the rest of it. But seriously, Goethe was so absolutely right. You might not like the past, but without it you have no foundation for the present or the future.
When I heard that in the cinema watching the Last Jedi, it was so fucking out of place, it didnt feel like Star Wars and worse, it was not a Luke Skywalker thing to say.
That movie was not good, and thats me saying it in a nicest way possible.
Honestly the biggest red flag leading up to season three was Jon Favreau saying that there is no ending to the mandalorian planned, and that instead they are going to ride it as long as possible. There’s no worse death sentence for a show than to say we are going to milk it until it is dry, and then keep milking it because people love baby yoda
it's weird. I havee only seen cllips od it, and it feels like an Andor episode, so i'm wondering why in Mandalorian?
I think he said he’d like it to be 5 seasons long
"There’s no worse death sentence for a show"
That's not true. Most shows are made to make money, that's simply the reality of that business. He just stated what most other of his peer think and always thought.
You can go on with the episodic adventures (Star Trek TOS, TNG, Stargate SG-1...) if your writing and production keeps things interesting.
It's also a cultural thing. Usually in the UK, for example, a show has very few seasons and that's it, by design. In America it's simply different.
@@prince-solomon Mandalorian isn't really episodic like Star Trek used to be though. There's still a continuous storyline and quest running through the whole season and series.
That 3rd episode makes sense now. They were like: wth do we do now? Do we develop what we had set up? Nah let's bring Grogu back and get some Andor vibes in here, that'll work!
It's a well known fact that when all the anger and strong emotions in a failing marriage finally give way to indifference, that's when it's actually finally over.
GOOD POINT
Even worse is resentment. That’s not recoverable.
@@redneckgoatfarmer You know, it's interesting you mention that, 'cause I've also heard resentment is a "closing stage" of a dead marriage. However, I've heard it said that the reason why indifference is "more final" is that with resentment, there's still the presence of very intense emotions, albeit negative/unfavorable. And as it was explained to me, any emotion is the presence of some form of interest, trace amounts of caring, just flipped. Indifference means the well of emotions are totally dry. Zero to work with or bounce back from. But still, interesting.
It's never the same once resentment creeps in. It's rare to rekindle that spark you had. It's just done and over with. At least Disney has the fans it truly wanted noq.
@@redneckgoatfarmer no, apathy. Apathy is death. And Star Wars is going to see what happens when you piss on nearly 30+ years of generations of different fans, meanwhile the only ones who stay are people blinded by nostalgia or have made the bed and are now sleeping in it.
Seriously, the old Jedi games have so much potential to become movies. The stories of the old republic and darth raven are on of the coolest stories in star wars.
but that would require them to make strong and compelling male characters.... and we all know that "the force is female"
i myself made peace with it that the closed i´m gonna get to seeing hk-47 in tv or movies was the droid in rogue one
Kyle Katarn
You mean (Darth) Revan? Better to not have Disney disgrace Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 as well at this point....those were the best Star Wars games alongside vanilla Star Wars Galaxies
@@Devilfish6666 yes after watching episodes 7 and 8 i´m scared of them discovering that they have a boatload of content they declared no longer canon that would make great shows/movies
No, the only thing that has proven successful, including Obi-Wan the series, which has 3x the viewers of the Mandalorian, is stories connected to the original Star Wars, meaning the Skywalker's. These random "super hero" characters don't sell. Star Wars is the story of Anakin Skywalker, and the rise of Palpatine. There are more than enough connected characters that can be developed.
The problem with these big franchises is that there are too many people involved in too many projects.
1 man has a vision, 10 men have a goal, 100 men make conflict.
The fact that their are so many different people working on each franchise means there is no vision or goal. How can there be when everyone has their own ideas and agendas.
but one women can create shit faster than those hundred man ever dreamed of...
But this was one woman's vision. So your made up saying is worth bupkiss.
A camel is a horse designed by a committee
Will Disney these 100 man at least had respect to each other and were able to create stories that don't contradict each other and together made a great franchise, but all it took was one wiman and it all went to shit.
Bringing back Grogu was the worst choice this show could possibly have made. The emotional beats around that were actually good. They had the chance to get back to mando being a formidable force without the constant toy adverts. Episode 1 of season 3 should have been filmed from the perspective of someone Mando was hunting, it should have been a horror film where their team slowly disappears like an Alien film.
Absolutely agree
They... kinda already did that, in the first Season, with the episode with the prison ship...
I agree. I didn't care for season 2, but I did like the emotional goodbye with Mando and grogu, and they immediately retracted it. The show seems lost and aimless, like they don't know where they want to go. Which, my guess, they dont.
And in my opinion it wasn't planned when they started writing the season
He serve no real purpose now, and sometimes seem static.
In my opinion Kathleen Kennedy forced the showrunners to replace it in the book of Boba Fett
Like a magnificent seven kind of story. It's too repetitive. Season 3 has to be ballsy it has to have stakes. There's no stakes in this show
If you had told me 30 years ago I'd grow up to hate Disney, I wouldn't have believed it. Now I just want them gone.
Disney doesn’t want to give the fans what they want, they want to give the fans what Disney has determined they should want. They’ll bury these properties in the ground and then blame the fans.
You should have stopped being a Disney fan when you turned 16... you manchild.
I saw Star Wars when it first came out in 1977. I loved it so much that I collected everything I could. If someone had said back then that it would turn into a sloppy, feminist agenda driven mess with second-rate special effects and horrible writing, I would have thought it utter nonsense.
It's not just "hate"......it's a lack of trust; which is worse than hate.
Whatever happened to the phrase "the customer is always right"?
Around 2016
We didn't know how good we had it with the prequels.
They've *always* been good actually despite their obvious problems.
I would like to see Rose and Jar Jar elope.
The prequels had good world-building and story-telling despite what many consider to be subpar acting and dialogue.
In addition, the politics underpinning the movies were lost on the younger audiences while appearing overly simplistic to older audiences.
@@liamphibiaI have watched the films dozens of times, but I have yet to see all those "obvious problems".
Are they on some kind of hidden track after the actual movies? 🤔
@@LOL_GarrusI think the prequels had a good format in mind, and on paper, the structure, premise, central plot, and characters are all pretty good. But all of this could’ve been executed better (in particular the writing, directing, and acting) Nevertheless, they still do feel like Star Wars, they do have some strong points, and they succeed at setting up the originals.
Also, one has to understand it’s difficult to try to match the quality of the original trilogy, which is one of the best trilogies ever, and A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back are some of the best movies, period. So the expectations were probably sky high when the prequels first came out.
But thanks to some of these shit Disney products the prequels look better 😂
My husband & I were about 10 minutes into an episode of The Mandalorian when he said, "This feels like the stupid movie you're forced to watch when you're in line to ride a rollercoaster at Disneyland."
As a wise old woman once said: "apathy is death."
Apathy is death.
one of the wisest
I thought the same thing. but how could be possibly be thinking of a character from the EU? According to dear old KK- SW had no resource material as a reference point before the Sequel Trilogy lol so how could Kreia even exist? *rolls eyes*
One of the greatest characters ever made...
It's not apathy, it's fear. "Fear is the mind killer". They're so afraid of offending any of the 'special' groups that they produce only bland, safe, boring products.
“Apathy is death. Worse than death, because at least a rotting corpse feeds the beasts and insects.”
❤ Kreia. « It’s such a quiet thing, to fall. Much harder is to admit it. »

@@b.chaline4394 Wow. That's even better.
@@cyberdragon1922 She has so many great lines in that game; she might actually be the most quotable character in all of Star Wars.
"This is the heat-death of a franchise..." - Friggin brilliant quote.
It's crazy that Star Wars went from the best movies ever made to the worst. Like how do you mess up that badly?
Disney as a company has burned so many bridges over the years that actors, directors and VFX companies have started avoiding them like they were some sort of plague of unspecified origins.
One of the giants is slowly dieing. and it's hilarious to see.
We've been so subverted that we cheer when one of America's largest cultural landmarks begins to die. We are so actively engaged in destroying ourselves because the leadership has been corrupted, we do it happily. I wonder what we will create to replace everything?
They're the film equivalent of EA. Latch on to a franchise and its associated company behind it, suck it dry, and move on to the next meal, like the Aliens out of Independence Day.
Lucasfilm was the same way: an utterly toxic environment. If anyone dared question Lucas, they were fired. Many famous Hollywood writers (including Kevin Smith and M. Night Shamalayan) have talked about their awful experiences with Lucasfilm and its soul-crushing creative processes.
@@derkeheath5172 M. Night and Kevin Smith have to be the worst examples possible. But yeah, very similar ego trip with one difference in that at least Lucas makes up his mind, with Marvel it's just constant changes up to the last minute.
To me, the biggest nail in the disney trilogy's coffin was that despite managing to bring back the original cast after 30 years and not having all three of the main human characters meet was just unacceptable.
That was the bare minimum for me when i learned that Luke, Leila and Han were returning.
It hurts to even think about it now… Hamil, Ford and Fisher…, How like how on this earth do you screw that up soo bad. Even Lando for the matter.. Shoehorning him in the final film was terrible.
@@88-V-..-A-..-N-88 agreed that is just mind baffling 🤷🏾♂️

You said it right there: "a formative experience". Disney doesnt want those, theyre antithetical to the transhumanism they desire.
Yep.
They are 90% soulless corporates wanting a money printer and 10% SJW/feminists propaganda makers.
To them every (shitty) film they want to sell is a mechanically created product.
Repeating predecessors/tropes and putting "cool"/cute things won't create a story but they *can't* understand that.
thank you someone had to say it, most the dummies in the world never even heard of transhumanism or think its sexual
From a formative experience to a formulaic experience.
I like you that made this 2 weeks before they decided to throw Lizzo into the Mandalorian. Perfect timing, even though we all knew it was dead long before.
Whenever your feeling imposter syndrome and have waning confidence in your own writing abilities, just remember that a professionally paid, multi-millionaire screenwriter wrote down the words "Somehow, Palpatine returned." For the final installment of one of the biggest hollywood franchises ever, overseen by the largest company in entertainment, and they went with it.
You know, that actually helps a little.
what an insult. you have a whole universe of sci-fi magic bullshit and you can't even bother to have any sort of justification as to why your antagonist is still alive? it's laughably pathetic. no wonder they wanted D&D to get their own movie, it sounds like they were in good company.
Star Wars is actually not a dead franchise....we can now flip the script upon the radical secularizing republican freemasonic Jedi seeking their universal republic without national distinctions.

t's a free market. Nobody can force audiences to watch Transformers part 2,3,4,5 etc. or Matrix Part 75 or the Star Wars sequels or prequels. A lot of these movies are crap, but audiences lap them up.
The fact is that mass audiences have low standards and are used to watching big budget special effects with little sense and non-existent storylines. That's why sequels do so well in the first place; audiences are to lazy for originality. Why are you watching Star Wars part 55 anyways? Go watch something new and original like Star Wars was in 1978! Audience is not part of the problem- the audience is the entire problem! Instead of whining about Star Wars part 10,000 the Critical Thinker should be pointing us in the direction of new, original storylines and movie making!
It's a free market. Simply stop watching crap the big corporate capitalist studios put out. Improve the quality of demand and the quality of supply, put out by capitalist corporate studios will change automatically. Until then stop the whining.
@@khanchy You got it half right. A sequel to a movie doesn't automatically mean it is not original. You can have originality within a series. The problem is diversity hiring (hiring people based on quotas and firing those with merit but who are not minorities - basically affirmative action) the ESG companies (environmental, social, government impact of products taking precedence over whether the product is quality for customers - basically it is communism whereby the private sector is bullied into making woke products or else they get a low ESG score. Think of ESG rating as the same thing as the Social Credit Score but for businesses)...and the unions who can extort private sector by striking if they don't get what they want. (if pay is low the business has to move to country with low taxes or up the pay but it never ends because the dollar always gets weaker due to central bank constantly printing more money out of thin air and debasing it. So you need more dollars to buy the same things as the past before the dollar got weaker. Higher pay only grants you more dollars not more things you can buy with each dollar since businesses just raise the price of things to compensate for the central bank printing more dollars out of thin air. This is so businesses avoid giving things away for free. This devaluation of currency/dollars is known as monetary inflation and is the whole reason bitcoin was invented to park your wealth into a system where your wealth doesn't get robbed from you by central banks who just create money out of thin air, since bitcoin only goes up in value because it is finite rather than down in value which happens with your dollars.as.central banks keeping printing infinite amounts of.)

I knew it was going to suck when Disney first announced the purchase and they started talking about having their own canon. ‘New canon’ is an oxymoron that takes a certain degree of arrogance to try to establish. They alienated a huge chunk of their fanbase from day one
Hmm, was JJ aware of that? SSDD and goodbye to Star Trek.
The EU wasn't any better than what Disney did. IMO both need to be consigned to the dust bin.
Not even a fan and that annoyed me. Like really, you are just going to take several decades worth of collective work from hundreds of people, an entire world that thousands of people were deeply invested in, collected, memorized and fleshed out into a whole world and just declare "yeah, mine of that stuff happened because we own the copyright now, so cope"? And you think that people are just going to accept that? At very best it made them very unhappy and ready to turn on you at the very first failure to replace it with something better, when they didn't just reject you entirely on the spot. It's a slap in the face of the entire collective community, and i didn't see any way that would work out well for them, unless they made some really miraculously excellent stuff maybe.
It was very clear at the end of S2 of The Mandalorian, that it was meant to be a two seasons show. Whatever they show in S3, it will only be remembered as a mix of corporate greed, and desperation to hold onto their only successful work.
I thought season 3 was by far the best. I didn't care for the first two at all.

Y'know, I think I just realized something. Back in the day, people erroneously thought that genre films and series were for children. Then they became mainstream, and somewhat more mature and challenging, and for a while, reached a complexity and low-concept engagement that took a bit more investment in story and character development. At some point, it seems that studios realized that this meant their merchandise revenue was dwindling, but that, if they just pulled back their strategy to explicitly targeting everything at children, lowering complexity, making it merchandisable again, they could still suck out the grown-ups nostalgia while also making bank with the kids.
And that's where we're at now. Genre fiction is now more "for children" than it ever was, and in the worst possible way. Make no mistake, Star Wars in 1977 was eminently watchable by children, but it had at least some emotional weight and complexity to it that Disney wouldn't allow in modern iterations.
We don't see the gut wrenching impact of emotions of Luke walking up to his farm in flames and seeing the burning corpses of his family strewn out on the ground anymore. No, instead we get bouncy ball robots and cuddly space gunnie pigs and baby yodas as a mere facade to sell us on a product the was settled a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away...
I would argue what they make now is only for fools. It is the low quality fodder for the lowest common denominator. Who could still do better and have far more options anyways.
What's sad, is that Disney had tons of ideas available to them when they purchased the franchise. But NO! They toss the Canon away as 'LEGENDS' because they don't want to pay the authors any percentage of whatever they made from their books and stories.
My thoughts exactly. Star Wars now feels like going back to a nostalgic location from your childhood, except the location has crumbled, forgotten, dilapidated, and all the friends associated with the memories of the place are either deceased, out of contact, not seen in over a decade, or live too far away. Modern Star Wars gives me THAT feeling. Such a feeling of emptiness and absolute carelessness for the franchise. It's time for them to close the damn book while they can - before it gets even worse. If that's even possible.
You forgot to mention that the location is now home to a pack of race grifting hyenas.
Perfect analogy.
I disagree with Drinker on one point only. The appearance of Luke. Baby Yoda won't be trained by Tano. He uses the Force to mass text any other Jedi out there. Who in that era is left to train him? Who? Oh wait, basically just one person. And if there was some doubt in your mind what was going to happen next, when we all saw that X-Wing fly in, you're a f**king dullard. Some people super fans cried. I'm a super fan, but I didn't cry. I pointed at the screen and said, "Yup. This is what we all wanted and it's fantastic. Eat bantha foodoo, KK." Drinker is wrong. His arrival was set up and was foreseeable. Fight me.🤘
Watching this crap feels like I’m looking at a copy, of a copy, of a copy, but it’s filled with annoying woke BS throughout, just to make things worse. Disney can have it.
Underrated comment
It hurts when something that used to give you memories becomes a memory. Chapter 1 made me feel like 8 again:(
To put this into perspective.
I am playing KOTOR 2 again to actually enjoy a well written Star Wars story.
KOTOR is a masterpiece of dialogue, especially in regards to Kreia challenging our notions of the world.
I recently reread the Jedi search trilogy from the 1980s IIRC. I still wonder why something like these stories weren't made into movies into the (IMO) horrible prequels and sequels since Disney took over.
Then why are you playing KotOR 2? KotOR is the one with the well written Star Wars story.
KotOR 2 is full of so much stupidity and terrible railroading.
@@LOL_GarrusKreia is an idiot and the writers never let you point out her obvious stupidity. She is one of the tropey Obsidian characters I cannot stand. New Vegas had them too and I couldn't stand New Vegas for that either.
I'm not a gamer but I've just pulled Heir to the Empire off my bookshelf for the exact same reason: I want to enjoy Star Wars with all its amazing characters and storylines, the way it used to be.

The problem is the wokening happened with star wars. The Wokening isn't just one thing but all the worst elements in entertainment industry broiled into a single toxic sludge. You get directors/writers with massive egos who think they can write something better and greater than the original but lack any talent in actually doing so. Often making changes that completely undermine the actual story and plot. Like how they're re-writing Peterpan to have the Lost theys because the lost boys wasn't inclusive enough. And for a reason, being said that girls were too smart to get lost like boys did.
You get The Message crammed into your face every second of the piece of entertainment with the subtlety of two by four being rammed straight between the buttox. You get corporations digging up the corpses of your childhood to try and make them sing and dance once more in hopes to draw more money out of your pockets but all they succeed at flopping have decomposed rotting flesh bags across the stage and then screaming at you to pay them.
@@ridensroom6957 They practically are now, adapting only what already is the message. And then filling it with so many "jokes" that even the Joker thinks its too much.
@@alchemystudiosink1894 you're right. I mean, they even called the first movie The Force AWAKENS, for God's sake! Don't think that particular wording wasnt very intentianal . They probably thought it was very clever and meta too, the idiots.
Having grown up on Star Wars and Star Wars media in almost every form, watching the decline of my favorite fantasy series is incredibly depressing.
Same. I grew up wanting to be Leia and fly and X-wing and now... What it's become is just so much noise.
That's the craziest thing to me. If Disney looked beyond "We can use the original actors one last time!" and took to a distant part of the timeline or the universe they could have had almost carte blanche to go as crazy or weird as they wanted and people would have ate it up. The problem is that they thought they were going to spin off the originals in the worst way.
The problem here is that Star Wars wasn't a fantasy series. It was a Sci Fi series. It was turned into a fantasy series by writers who don't know how to do anything beyond D&D crap.
Star Wars being dead help me realize how many other great franchises exist out there that are sci-fi and better than Star Wars in every single way, at least from start to finish.

It's intentional sabotage. She hasn't been fired because she is excellent at her role. Remember they want us broken, owning nothing, eating bugs, and happy about it. Believe it or not to achieve this requires killing everything we love. Disney are playing their part as the propaganda machine they have always been.
Georges Lucas butchered it WAY before that with Return of the Tesdy Bears, the " Special Additions" that got rid of the originals, the unwatchable prequel trilogy. People act as if Disney had ruined something great. Star Wars has been garbage for over 40 years. Only their first two movies were good. But they were so good and so endearing that we can't get pass them and keep hoping for that magic to return. It won't. It can't. The problem is more with us now than it is with any of the creators behind it.

I canceled my Disney + subscription this week. I'm a comic book and star wars fan of 40+ years and I just don't see anything to look forward to. I love these stories too much to watch them get violated by these woke morons.
It is so sad. I was a kid when Phantom Menace came out (it hooked me up in Star Wars immediately). I remember how much hype there was for episodes II and III. It was not just a movie, it was something different. Years passed, new Trilogy came... such expectations, so much hope, so much trust. Force Awakens was so confusing. When I walk from Cinema I couldn't understand why it was basically awkward remake of New Hope. But there was still hope. There was still expectations. I go to cinema for a Last Jedi. I never experience something like that. It was not that I didn't like the movie. I active hated it. It was like they spit in my face. I didn't go to the third one. I didn't watch any of a Disney series. Star Wars was death to me the moment I leave the theater after Last Jedi. And it wasnt easy for me. I loved that franchise. They killed it. I will never forgive them.
I was a kid when the original Star Wars came out, and I tried watching The Phantom Menace but it was such dog shit it turned me off every other Star Wars vehicle.
@@chalkandcheese1868 At least George Lucas was still in control of the franchise. Sure, the dialogue was choppy, but the prequels are as authentically Star Wars as the OT. Everything Disney makes is a cheap imitation of the old magic. So many more people are appreciating the prequels now because of Disney's bastardization with the sequels.
@@mojomac6592 I watched The Phantom Menace a few weeks ago for the first time in years and I was shocked at how bad it was. It got just about everything wrong. It didn't even have cool machines (essential for good science fiction) and that stupid little kid attacking the space station saying weeeeee! Just embarrassing. I think the major problem was George Lucas got far to invested in modern (at the time) computer graphics technology, he thought the look of the film will blow everybody away, but he forgot about everything else.
@@mojomac6592 The dialogue was not 'choppy', it was pure shit like everything else in the prequels. And people are only 'appreciating' the sequels because Gen Z is full of retards who'd eat their own feces if you infused it with enough nostalgia.
@@chalkandcheese1868 Look the Phantom Menace had its problems but it was not a bad movie by any stretch. It was flawed, but it felt like a Star Wars movie. That was the Prequel Trilogy in a nutshell, flawed for many reasons (George Lucas having too much control compared to the OT) but they felt like Stars Wars movies and there was definitely a sense of passion in the development of the films, particularly the world building and the plot was okay particularly when it all wrapped up by Episode 3. The Sequels felt like empty vassals by comparison, they didn't feel like Star Wars movies, the plot in them was terrible and they blatantly ruined the OT heroes to make way for identity/minority characters who were not interesting or particularly likeable. They also ignored all the work of the Expanded Universe as if over 20 years of writing material expanding the Star Wars universe never even happened.

Absolutely tragic. I’m too young to have been around for the OT’s theatrical release, but I’m old enough to have been at ground zero for the Special Editions/Phantom Menace hype train period. I know those releases had their flaws, but I would love to go back to the days when a Star Wars release was an event that everyone got hyped for. Unfortunately, Disney has done too much damage to the brand, and cheapened it to the point where those days are long gone.

@taterboob I got into Star Wars through the expanded universe and games. I played Revenge of the Sith for PS2 as a kid and later on Xbox 360 when I was 13. The movies were shown on UTV every year and I rewatched them on NowTV. I always liked being part of the fan community, Battlefront 2 still gets mods including the Battlefront III Legacy.
Genuine question, after the Phantom Menace was there really any hype for Attack Of the Clones?
@@xuvial1391 Not as much. I remember the marketing campaign being a lot more subdued than the absolute circus of the Episode I release. I even remember the Austin Powers 2 Super Bowl trailer telling you to watch Star Wars first.
But yeah, to my recollection Clones didn’t have any fast food tie-ins, or anything crazy like that. It jumped back up with Revenge of the Sith though. Mainly because it was the “last” Star Wars movie, and Vader marketing everywhere.

Kathleen Kennedy is directly to blame. She made awful hires at every level, allowed identity politics to color every decision she made, and alienated the few successful creators the franchise DID have (Filoni, Favreau)
Filoni is an enemy as well. He's as much as a diversity shitbrain as Kathleen Kennedy. The reason he got lumped in with Favreau is *because* he's in line with Kennedy's way of thinking, he's her little plant.

It’s sad. I use to love Disney. 2008 I spent thousands of dollars to travel to Florida with my girlfriend, Stay at one of their top end hotels. We had a great time. In a few short years I don’t even watch the movies/tv shows. Before I went on the trip I got a biography on Walt. When he had his very first successful cartoon short (3 little pigs) everyone kept asking him to make another 3 little pig cartoon. He would say “you can’t beat a pig with a pig”. He always wanted to innovate, Not just recycle the same story. I wonder what Walt would say about his company these days.
I remember being so excited to see the force awakens & I literally remember thinking to myself “this is a historical moment, this is the first Star Wars movies in decades” and after the credits rolled I remember feeling hollow and empty over the whole experience.
I had that same excitement for Phantom as a kid. Despite the flaws, I can still look back fondly on the experience.
I'm sorry Disney stole that from you.

They shot my childhood movies out of a nuclear silo - pointed them at the moon and hit bupkis. All so they could make money on the backs of future working class people who no longer support this kind of thing. Did they ask anyone in the trenches of life to allow for a multi spectrum idea base? Did they try at all? I don't believe they even care if this stuff makes money. I think they are just fine to kill it off by 2025 so they can make some kind of new studio production type. The whole system is set to make an implosion the size of the egos running things. And that is what happens when you demand that every single idea be run like a capitalistic business venture and apply words such as vertical, and Franchise to every single idea seeping out of the spilled, wall toilet that is now the "entertainment industry" Namely Hollywood, and Disney.
These two sick and salivating behemoths have co-opted, stolen, cajoled, and lied their way to this dark bed of icky. The bad part is all of the tripe hitting the internet. The worse are all of the soon to be unemployed people who genuinely love their trades, getting sent off without so much as a salad toss after the huge anal missile strikes they are getting.

For me the moment that made me groan and realize the series was dead was in BOBF when they make it pretty clear that The Mandalorian's new ship is the Naboo Starfighter. The n-1 is cool, but why would he own it? The Razorcrest was his office, home, and ride all in one. It made sense for a character like him to own. Going from the Razorcrest to the N-1 is like a contractor going from a pickup truck to a coup.
I agree. It was a BOUNTY HUNTER'S place of business.
With the N-1 he's going to have to find lodging everytime so that'll leave a nasty paper trail that may come back to bite him
To a Prius.
Truth-maybe even a motorhome to a coupe, honestly-I mean, can you imagine living in that tiny little cockpit-I haven't actually started watching season 3, but thinking of spending hours jammed in there (or days, I guess) gives me the screamin' heebie-jeebies.
To be fair he hasn't done any bounty hunting for awhile and just has been on a journey to reclaim his status so the N-1 works for now. It feels as if it keeps leading him away from being a bounty hunter

The Luke reveal was perfect. They built up slowly, with a trickle of teasers for fans who would know what they meant. And then revealed Luke. Few lines, because they were acknowledging the limits of their tech, and then he left. Absolute masterclass.
And then they ruined it.
yeah i dont know why he said it doesnt make sense. the baby is the only force sensitive character since ROTJ, why would Luke NOT show up? It was so amazingly made too, down to the music and like you said few things to say cause it wasnt necessary. then they went SIKE! we still need the baby with the Mandalorian so never mind the training. Whats the point of pulling a rug under the best scene in decades? Not bothering with the show now.
@@CarSVernon Right. It made perfect sense. In this era, Luke was the one building the Jedi Order so he was the obvious (and frankly only) legitimate choice to save Grogu. And the overall scene/ episode was very well done. But the decision to drop the storyline so quickly after a 2 season build was another reason that fans got upset.
They are just like those villains who like to build up hope on the heroes, just to crush it and savor the look of terror and desperation on their faces. Or so they say.
They're not even trying to make any profit from the franchise at this point. They simply want to demolish, destroy and reduce everything George Lucas had built into ashes.
Glad you liked it. To me the Luke reveal is what killed my interest in the series.

Storytelling is becoming a lost art. In Star Trek: The Next Generation episode The Inner Light, Picard finds himself on another planet married with friends and a community. He raises two children, grows old, loses his wife and a close friend, and has a grandchild. In less than forty minutes the creators have woven a tale where I care about what happens to people who have just been introduced while other TV shows can't seem to get me to care about their characters in an entire season.
Legit man. All this shit is inspiring me to make my own movie. The whole "be the change you wanna see in the world" deal.
That’s because they are not characters anymore. They are vessels for the message.
So true. The quality of writing has declined precipitously over the past 10 years to the point where haven’t watched network TV since 2019 (exception later). Probably 5 years ago I started rewatching TNG on Prime and that episode (The Inner Light) really stood out in my mind. It was a great call for you to remember it and compare it to anything Star Wars, big budget movies included, in the past 10 years. In fact after TNG I moved on to DS9 (which I watched only occasionally in its first run, it just didn’t “catch” me) and then Voyager (really hacked me off Prime’s ST contract expired while I was in the 4th season), which I finally just finished using the free Paramount+ we got for buying TMobile internet service. Ghosts and any Taylor Sheridan show not called The Mayor Of Kingstown are also quite engaging. Anyway, I’d say ANY post 1980 Star Trek show other than Enterprise is better than anything on TV since…2000?
“Corollary”: It’s been much of this century that I’ve wondered how much of the movie fare gets green lighted. Many will start well but fall apart after the first hour or so. I’ve heard that it may be because a script submission is only so many pages long. Getting the green light may be somewhat of a surprise because turning from story to a conclusion is often a horrifyingly painful, disappointing and surprisingly poorly thought out proposition. Again, poor writing.
Or yesterday's Enterprise. They got us to care about a love story between two characters who would not go beyond that episode.
I cared about Al Bundy. A man worn down by a useless wife, a brat for a son, a half-wit blonde but loveable daughter and annoying neighbors. I cared for Al because he took abuse from unhealthy plus sized women at the shoe shop where he worked. I cared for him and his fellow shoe salesman Griff. As for Disney, I can't care less.
As a kid of 7 my mom introduced me to movies like War of the Worlds, The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, The Time Machine and The Day the Earth Stood Still to name a few. Those old classics blew me away as a child of the early 60's.
But by the early 70's I was sick of Hollywood. Many of the "Hits" of the day were rife with political statements and self aggrandizing navel gazing. I gave up on movies.
So, in 1977 I was 6 months from getting out of the Marines and stationed in Yuma Arizona. It was a blistering hot Saturday afternoon and I found myself wandering around a town square with little to do since I didn't want to hit a bar that early in the afternoon. I spied a movie theater and thought Air conditioning and a cold Coke and I would kill two hours and THEN go into the bars. I didn't even notice the name of the movie on the marquee.
I got my Coke and sat down in a dark theater just as the movie opened and from the opening crawl I was transported to a Galaxy far, far away and a long time ago.
After the movie I sat in stunned silence and thought, "When did Sci-Fi ever look this good?" and the next thought, "When did Sci-Fi ever have a story this good?" I kept replaying the movie over in my mind and that's when I recognized I had just witnessed groundbreaking moviemaking.
It, and the rest that followed, gave me back my love of movies, gave me back Star Trek, gave me the Summer Blockbuster. And the company that thrilled me and my sister as kids on a weekly basis on tv, that made the very best in cutting edge animated storytelling, took that legacy and destroyed it in the name of wokeism.
In a day and age of technology when they should have made the very best of the Star Wars movies, they instead turned out piles of shit - and shit on every legacy character in one fashion or another.
I am devastated. Two great legacies destroyed in a single unending blow of politics and I'm back to not caring about movies again. Full Circle.
Beautiful testimony. I was more emotional reading this than watching TFA (the only Disney Wars I watched....unless you include the intense hate for this movie I have😂).
I was born in the 90's but always loved movies from the 70's and 80's. I find the 70's movies were particularly good compared to modern ones as many scenes are shot in a long take, thus making it more realistic the way the actors talk to each other and how the story progresses. Nowadays every time someone talks, the camera has to cut to a focus shot on that character for about 5 seconds that they talk and it's like that for the whole movie. Don't get me started on shaky cam with action scenes...
It's funny when a youtube video criticizing Disney shows gets more views than the shows episodes
They literally turned star wars into modern M-she-u, A bundle of unfunny jokes, Stocks of Angry-ass Mary sues/girlbosses, Cartoonish Villains, boring arcs & overall just corporate greed.
Star wars used to be more than that. it was a story of hope & Despair. it was about hope in despair, light in thr darkness, & good in evil. it also had many interesting concepts & characters 😢
Used to love Star Wars. Grew up with Rogue Squadron 3D and Episode 1 games, and movies before attending pre-school. It truly felt fascinating; like seeing inside a world that actually exists.
Then the Disney era started and it's just been one desecration after the other.
Right, movie 1-3 were criticized so much at the time, yet it seems it could have been way worse. As proven now.
Newsflash: STAR WARS IS NOT REAL!
@@Foebane72 Are you suggesting it involves actors?
Luckily one can ignore Disney SW exists and be content with the older EU stuff. I totally understand if someone is burnt out on Star Wars in general, but I can still feel excited playing an older game, or reading a book from EU. If you wanna see good Star Wars, check out Darth Angelus. He has been animating the Thrawn-trilogy for a while now.
Same. Rogue Squadron, Battle for Naboo, Jedi Outcast/Academy, Republic Commando, The Gungan Frontier, Battlefront, Force Commander, grew up with all of em. Star Wars was my rock for like 25 years. After TLJ, BoBF, and Kenobi, I barely think about it anymore.
