I don’t think they were just following orders from Iger. I think they did exactly what they wanted to do with SW also, it just so happen to align with Iger’s demands. I think Kennedy is a true believer in this crap and Filoni is an opportunist without scruples.
@echoesofmalachor3700 "An opportunist without scruples." Somehow I don't think constantly having Lucas back to provide insight and feedback fits well with the Iger/KK agenda....
Dave The Phony....the suspicions about him were all true. Disney Star Wars is Bud Light now. As far as The Phony's obsession with witches...allegedly his wife is or was part of a coven. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't see how anyone could have watched Ahsoka and still be onboard with Filoni being in charge of anything Star Wars. I get that people liked the member-berries, but that show was bad.
@@craigcarroll3303 He is not the closest person to understand SW. He cares about his pet OC Mary Sues and nothing else and has been buldozzering through the lore since TCW and Rebels.

Then Felony got promoted and totally destroyed everything Jon built just to shoehorn his pet villainous Mary Sue Bo-Karen into Din´s rightful place.

I’m over joyed Gina Carano and many others are taking lucasfilm and Disney to court over their horrible business practices and seeing them paying the price for their butchering of one of the greatest franchises in history!
Filoni is George’s Anakin! Ultimately bent his knee to the emperor and betrayed everything George stood for. Now he is the Disneys Darth Vader, destroying everything that’s left of what made Star Wars great…
Faloni had no clue about star war's. He didn't even know padme and anakins mom met each other. Dave faloni was doing what George said. Now he thinks he is a star war's expert and he has no clue about star war's. Calling Dave anakin is so out there it's actually sad.
If it was written today McCoy would say "He's dead Jim!" And Kirk would chastise him for using the wrong pronouns. "The corpse preferred they/them Bones!"
Just some honesty people. Fans want a rich history of character they love. Amazing well written story without any agendas or DEI. They are also sick of the directors and Disney using fans as escape goats for bad acting and badly written story. But if Directors, Actors, and writers start calling fans names and accusing them of being toxic men, racism, sexism, anti-female, or bigots with the DEI agenda. Fans will fire back and these big companies forget that what makes a movie money is the fans. You insult them with name calling and accusing them of being something just because they want a decades rich story well written without DEI. They will boycott your movies. Back when the Original trilogy was in theaters, diverse crowds of humans stood around the block waiting for tickets, all enjoying each other's company. Nobody was excluded, nobody was told, "This isn't for you!" or "You're too toxic to stand in line with us." Nothing in the movies beat us over the head with politics. This was pure, escapist entertainment, and a LOT of the fans were young men who weren't the alpha coolest bad-asses, and their friends, families and dates. These guys loved being able to escape and feel like greatness was possible. Now? Diversity and Inclusion doesn't include us, not even a little bit. 👇 I have seen Star Wars from the day it started in 1977. Tired of decades of Star Wars rich history being destroyed just to please a DEI agenda. After Star Wars 1 throu 6 it has gone down hill. If it is not made by George Lucas.. It is not Star Wars period..The truth is it is not Lucas Films anymore. It is Kathleen Kennedy Films.
Dave Filoni better be careful about his own seat than being concerned about Lucas return. In Disney's DEI world, Filoni is male, white, straight and with OT roots.
George Lucas himself said, "No, I'm retired." That's it. It doesn't matter what Dave Filoni says, it doesn't matter what anyone else says. George said the final word on it.
What if Lucas didn't fall in with Iger? Can you imagine? If Lucas was genuine he would have stood up for his IP. He didn't, he caved. And don't claim pressure from his wife or the left....He caved, therefore not genuine and a hypothetical asshole....period.
The acolyte not a star wars story, it's a cop story. They've literally taken the script of a cop show and put that in the star wars universe. That's why it starts with a murder, that's why "A jedi does not attack the unarmed", "yes they do" does not make sense....but replace jedi with cop: "A cop does not attack the unarmed", "yes they do" - boom, suddenly you get why they've put it in there. Re-watch it with that in mind and suddenly everything makes sense. It's why they said it's about solving a murder and people scratched their heads going "but...we know who did it, it' right there in the very first part"....it is about solving a murder CASE, ie the cops solving a murder case, not the audience solving a murder mystery. It's a show about a police cover up and the surviving victim getting revenge on those cops. With the cops offing themselves or adopting the victims out of sheer guilt over what they did. They were literally so ignorant that they took peacekeeper to mean cop...not protecting the peace like Qui Gon and Obi Wan set out to do in the begining of the prequels.
Disney has a choice. Keep the team that has destroyed Star Wars or rebuild the franchise with talent loyal to SW Canon. The Kennedy, Filoni, Headlin triad is not serious about SW. They are agenda driven, not profit driven. It's up to Iger to fix this.
Right after the Force Awakens they got confirmation that the fans still loved Star Wars and they took off in their own direction and never looked back.
I think that George Lucas wouldn't and shouldn't return to Star wars. He should enjoy his retirement instead of attempting anything with star wars. It will fail and he gets the blame. Also it would be a loss of face for Disney. In their mind Kathleen Kennedy was the best thing happen towards Star wars and letting George Lucas back would be like admitting defeat.
Lucas himself said that it was clear they didn't want him around when they were making The Force Awakens. Yes, he sold it, but I think he still wanted to be part of it. It's his creation.
The Ahsoka series started out with a reasonable following because people still believed that the "world between worlds" was going to be used to retcon the sequel trilogy. When that didn't happen, the large swath of remaining stragglers (myself included) finally realised the Dave was part of the problem.
That timetravel nonsense should be retconed even more than the sequels. You can´t fix one bad thing with another even worse thing. And I don´t care if the sequels are retconed or not because they are just three movies which can be easily ignored: nothing starts with them, nothing ends with them. Pissney would have to decanonize and remake not-Mando S3 into Mando S3 to make me consider giving them a chance again. Because S3 was supposed to be the epic end of Mando´s journey from an underdog foundling to the king and the scheming villain Bo-Tox-Karen was supposed to finally pay for her atrocities and d-i-e by the darksaber she wanted so much, and I will never accept anything else as canon. Therefore anything which acknowledges Bo-Karen S1 camouflaged as Mando S3 as canon is not canon to me by default. I also don´t consider that stupid animated fanfic Rebels as canon and that trash-tier Mary Sue Dangerhair doesn´t exist to me. Neither does the timetravel portal which was shoehorned by Failoni only to bring back his pet OC Ahwoka.
Too bad that George Lucas did not make a deal (at the time he sold Star Wars to Disney) like what Gene Roddenbery of Star Trek did with Paramount, where George Lucas remains as an overseer consultant Co-Executive Producer with his company and Disney just split the profits with George. However never happened.
I wonder if Disney will try and find a way to destroy that museum too Or maybe they'll have these woke individuals do it for them. He's not interested in anything Lucas has to say.
Why would we even want George to come back at this point? What, so they can destroy anything he makes again? There is nothing George or anyone can do to reconcile Disney Star Wars with actual Star Wars. Fundamentally they're opposed in virtually every way and the only reason why Disney Star Wars is even called Star Wars at all is because Iger scammed George out of the franchise so they could thieve the name. Hell, Iger is the one who even published how he did it. Nothing about Disney is Star Wars and it never will be.
George himself already dispelled any desire to come back at Cannes. He’s happily retired enjoying time with his family and too old and too busy with his museum and Skywalker Ranch.
Movie ratings system should be updated to include "Sexual innuendo" that's a polite way of saying strong sexual suggestion. I'm a parent of 2, I would love to know that BEFORE watching a show or movie, why do we have to keep getting caught off guard and by suprise, and then we have to quickly try to explain what our kids are seeing when we had no idea what we were going to be subjected to. Its just common courtesy and a good business practice.
A long time ago, there was 'George Lucas's living FORCE, the one that penetrated the franchise and the fandom and bound everything together. Filoni learned at the feet of the Jedi Grandmaster. Nowadays, Dave Floni has had his kahunas cut off and the women in Lucasfilm are taking turns carrying them around in their purses, sad.
I can't forgive that Disney Killed off the Skywalker and Solo family. Plus everything Star Wars, I've seen from Disney was or turned into crap. I don't think even George Lukas can save the current situation that Star Wars is in now.
Anybody wonder how Lucas film and Disney leadership meetings go? How much spinning and blame shifting and coping? Dang I’d kill to be a fly on the wall
Considering how Filoni is always the one having Lucas visiting the sets of his shows...I'd say, by the actual data, "BANISHING" ain't exactly accurate. But you're right about one thing: Any notion of Lucas taking Lucasfilm back is RIDICULOUS fantasy. And frankly, with how he officially endorsed Iger and trashed Nelson Peltz's campaign...we shouldn't WANT him back. (Plus, who shot first, Han or Greedo?) Seriously, people, whoever can be trusted to restore Star Wars...IT AIN'T LUCAS.
Most Star Wars fans got what they deserved!!! For treating George Lucas WORSE THAN A CRIMINAL!!! Why should Lucas return?? When he was treated like shit in the first place cuz they didn't like a few of his movies?? Unlike many so- called fans, I respect/like/admire/HONOR Mr. Lucas( he made my favorite movies the old trilogy, and that WILL NEVER CHANGE.) He should give FANS A BIG MIDDLE FINGER!! They deserve the GIANT SHIT that Disney has bee giving them--and WORSE. And WORSE than the Acolyte. ENJOY the show!!!
@tonyfendex2558 Who shot first? Han or Greedo? BTW, two other directors directed Empire and Return...and Lawrence Kasden wrote the screenplays. Meanwhile, the often maligned Prequels were all directed and written by Lucas.
Thank you. That had to be said. He helped sabotage nelson peltz’s attempt to take over and fix this mess. His moment of truth came and instead of protecting his creation he grabbed his ankles and took it up the ass from iger and his stooges. He could have come out richer and a hero to his fans but no.
I always thought Ahsoka was way way over rated. The entire clone wars was way over rated. That's what there is Ahsoka and the witches. Everything else like Thrawn was out of the EU.
I have never had confidence on Filoni's vision for SW, so it might be good of Lucas to buy it back, but frankly some of the movies outside of his ability to control we're actually I think probably better than what he can put together himself, I'm sorry Solo and Rogue One are excellent pictures, and are some of the best of any of the Star Wars franchise all together.
"Solo and ... are excellent pictures" Read A C Crispin's trilogy and Brian Daley trilogy which slots in between The Hutt Gambit and Rebel Dawn - which ends in the ANH cantina, and then watch Solo again to see why it isn't "excellent".
Were shareholders smart enough to pick up on essentially an admission of money laundering? The writer of ep.4 posted on X that the episode was devoid of action because they were short on funds. Not only did she admit a curious mismanagement of funds, she raised the question of, is ep.4 where they tried to make up for missing funds or did it mark the start of declining episodes from here on out.
I grew up on the clone wars and I remember it fondly. However I have seen how the weeds like filoni and Kennedy have been allowed to grow out of control without George and just taint every corner of Star Wars. When filoni was first getting his live action shot I was somewhat hopeful but that’s been entirely dashed now. Personally I don’t have the same reverence for Rosario Dawson that so many people do. Idk if I’m just missing whatever films she was in that built that image but personally all I know her as is Ashoka and also a few small roles here and there and her role in dying light 2. Because of that my opinion of her is not good. I think Ashoka should stay as a younger woman with a more light personality overall but that’s just me. I feel like George wants to come back but the ones who claim to have learned from him won’t let him have any control because it’s behind closed doors and they can keep that event on the hush hush. I hope Disney burns and all its IPs get sold off yard sale style so we can atleast have a chance of good stories under new ownership.
I wouldn't have much in anyone claiming responsibility for what Star Wars currently is. If I was in anyway involved, I'd do everything possible to distance myself from this trash.
What in the world, the only rumors about Lucas are internet podcasters. The dude is 80yrs old. Does anyone know any 80yr olds? They are not going to buy a 5bn dollar company, and then start the process of making a movie that takes 5 or 6yrs to come out. By the time he bought the company, wrote a script and then did all the things to get the movie filmed he would be around 90yrs old. They dont have the energy or the mental capacity for that type of commitment. Not to mention he has just as good of a chance of dying in that time period as being alive to see it complete. People act like they dont know that age is a real thing.
The reason he sold it, was because he was through with Star Wars. Sure, he's upset with them messing with his "children", but he should of thought of that before giving them to Disney.
@@craigcarroll3303 We all die. Does he stick it out until the end when he was creatively tapped out or does he cash in? One way or another someone else down the road was going to control the IP. The DIsney of 10+ years ago was sliding downhill but was nowhere near what Disney of today is.
Not Big Blockbusters, but Clint Eastwood still turned out some good stuff at 80+. He's 94 now. His movies were smaller and weren't huge extravaganzas, but take away the money involved, Eastwood is/was a much better producer/director than Lucas. Overall, you are correct, but there are exceptions.
What? Don't have the energy or mental capacity? You have no idea what you are talking about. Tell that to Clint Eastwood, Nelson Peltz, Martin Scorsese just to name a few. And they are more mental clarity than you ever will have. Get out more, read, study, go learn something, because you sound foolish.
@@dlewis9760 But he didnt buy a 5bn company and then have to start a movie. he just had to make them. Even so its very impressive and very very rare. And as you pointed out, they are very different movie types.
Witches were a dumb idea (although i like the idea of different force sects) and so was bringing back maul. Maul was a cool character but his story should have been told in the time before his death in episode I
“The chief creative officer of Star Wars shall settle your fate.” “I am the chief creative officer.” “Not yet.” “It’s treason, then!” *Dave throws an excess of Epic Hero Series (those middling 5POA 3.75” figures they’ve been putting out since the start of 2024) Ahsoka and Sabine figures at his critics*
Filoni was GIVEN the Affectation of Lucas's Padawan by Industry Reporters well Prior to 2012. Because Back Then there Really wasn't any Damage. Just some DISLIKE of the Prequels really which Today are considered Master Pieces by comparison to Disney's era. It was Given Due to GOODWILL BY ASSOCIATION and NOT Because of TALENTS Demonstrated. The CREDITS Tell the Tale of his "Advancement" and he Didn't Really EARN it when it comes to where he is now. He Wasn't the Last Most QUALIFIED man standing after the Disney Acquisition and PREDISNEY EMPLOYEE PURGE. And YES this DID Happen. How do we Know this? Take @Knee Payne as an Example of a Former Lucasfilm Employee who Left the company During the Disney Era...because according to him, it Just Wasn't Lucasfilm anymore. New People were suddenly Brought In by KK and Many who Had been there for Decades were Essentially Displaced or Driven Out as KK Inserted People as well as Agendas into play. Filoni, the now Proven Spineless Weasel he is, Towed the Line, was the one to Volunteer to Do the Things that put him and kept him in KKs good Graces. Because he Wanted The Top Creative Lead Chair, and he Wanted to Live Direct...even though he had YEARS and YEARS prior to the Acquisition by Disney to PURSUE those goals in Earnest. And he COULD HAVE but Didn't...WHY? There was an Active Turnover an Opportunity for advancements. I even once skimmed the Lucasfilm Ldt employment section a few times to see if there were any openings for anyone with My skillset. Back Then it WAS a Dream Job. If I COULD APPLY then So Could HE...he was Already IN HOUSE. So WHY NOT Any SUBSTANTIAL ADVANCE towards the Goal of Live Action. He Can't Say That Wasn't his Goal when he Sought to get in there. Nobody in their Right Minds Applied to Lucasfilm Ltd with the Strict Idea of NEVER Wanting to Work On a LIVE ACTION Star Wars Project. That's EVERY STAR WARS FANS DREAM..to be IN One or MAKING one. His CHARACTER and Demeanor Tells the Tale. The Weasel Simp he has Proven himself to be Backs Up the Tale. And the Tale which I'm Pulling Out of my Ass is Pure Speculation...but I'm gonna Bet it's pretty Close to the Mark because I've KNOWN a Few like Him in my day. They and He only EVER Talk BIG when they've got Backup Bigger than Themselves to save his butt. For us LOTR Fans, Hes a WORM TONGUE. A YES Ma'am...he Does As he's Told like any Whipped Simp of a man does. Balls, Masculinity and Autonomy all Sacrificed for THE GOAL. He DIDN'T ADVANCE Under GEORGE but DID Under KK. WHY?!!! Because as The CREATOR of Star Wars He DEALT WITH ALL of Filoni's Ideas. If they were for the most part GOOD Ideas, Impressive Ideas...or even Most Impressive Ideas, Then George would have Advanced Him to Executive Creative Lead PRIOR to Lucasfilm...BUT he DIDN'T....Because...His Ideas for the MOST Part were NOT GOOD IDEAS and OBVIOUSLY George did NOT APPROVE of them All. All CLONE WARS Filoni was apart of that Was Good Had BEEN Through Better Hands and Shaped and LED by Better Hands Than Filoni's. He Wouldn't have DARED to wear that Ahsoka Lives shirt If Lucasfilm was Still Owned by George Lucas. So with George GONE, and KK well Sucked Up to, a Position was Created for his Servitude and Supplication and was Given the Chances he Truly Desired...and FAILED MISERABLY. Favreau handled Ahsoka BETTER than He Did and theres NO COMPARISON. The SUCCESS and POSITIVE RECEPTION to her Live Action Debut in THE MANDALORIAN was All DUE to JOHN FAVREAU...Not Dave Filoni. Filoni is NO STEWARD of Star Wars because he Made it NEGOTIABLE and BENT IT TO HIMSELF...Unlike the Successful Authors who made the EU who BENT THEMSELVES TO the Materials. That's why They Earned their Positive Reviews Based upon the MERITS. Filoni has Shown his DEMERITS and SQUANDERED his OPPORTUNITY and Failed his Dream. He Failed because He WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH to ADVANCE to THIS LEVEL and GEORGE KNEW IT. KK DIDN'T...no Surprise there, and she Elevated him, Gave him the Opportunity that George Denied him Because he Wasn't Good Enough AND his Tendency was to Make Star Wars HIS...when its NOT His. Its NOT Anyone's. Take TIMOTHY ZAHN for instance. Zahn Back Then BENT HIMSELF TO Star Wars in Order to Write It. Any "JOBBER" Author who Works on any Ongoing Preexisting Series HAD TO Bend Themselves TO the MATERIALS in Order to Do Their Installments and Keep the IP Flavor INTACT and SEPARATE from Other IP even while having Enough Freedom and Leeway to NOD to them without Completely Ripping them off and merely Redress a story and characters. Everyone who has Ever Written FOR Star Wars PRE DISNEY has HAD to DO Just That...BEND THEMSELVES TO the MATERIALS. Dave Filoni is the FIRST OG Lucasfilm writer to DEVIATE from that Basic Law of Legacy IP STEWARDSHIP. Every writer apart of KKs Crew, which Includes Filoni as their Installed Ringleader but Clearly even his Meager Talents have Not Rubbed Off at All for All of his Rewriting of the Acolyte and its PAINFULLY obvious. No this is ge Guy who Sneaks into see the boss Ahead of the More Qualified guy who's distracted for a Moment, Filoni Turns and Quietly Flips the Double Bird at the Better at his Job Writer and Scooped the spot. He is where he is because he VOWED to Do WHATEVER KK Asked of him and he Got what he wanted. It ONLY COST him and Everyone Else the STAR WARS he Fell in love with in the First place. That's who he is... "He is no Jedi..."
The only "Force Fu" I want to see in Star Wars is the LIGHTSABER Form IV called "Ataru", which is the most acrobatic form of actual LIGHTSABER combat--NOT whatever ridiculous thing that "Force Fu" in episode 1 was.
I've been pointing out Filoni's flaws since Clone Wars. He's never understood character motivation. I can point out dozens and dozens of instances in CW, Ahsoka and book of Boba where characters make ridiculous decisions that just don't make logical sense. Nice to see others opening their eyes to Filoni's lack of talent
George should have taken the money, and never, ever looked back. He sold out, it's not his anymore. That is what selling out means. Sit back and count your pieces of silver.
There were some excellent episodes of the Clone Wars & Rebels. It is also true there were long stretches of these series that were unwatchable. Ahsoka, the live-action series, had some cool moments. It could have been great, but mostly it was "meh". So, I'm skeptical that Dave Filoni helming the Star Wars franchise is the change we have been looking for.
Filoni was a story board artist. Means he can come up with some cool visuals. But he sucks donkey d for story and plot. Ergo, The Clone Wars and Rebels has SOME good interesting episodes, but a lot of head scratching WTF. I actually like them for what they are, but now have to reject all of it, for how badly they broke canon.
Nothing Dave Felony comes up with is really Star Wars anyway. That ended in 2012. What they're doing now is akin to moving the corpse around with puppet strings attached rather than giving it a proper burial.
Scorched Earth at KENNEDYFILM has to happen. Everyone and everything has to go. Lucas should advise on how to restore LUCASFILM by hiring competent people instead of activists.
I dont think star wars is long for this world. When the acolyte series finishes with a sub 10% audience score and loses a ton of money heads are going to turn. At some point disney wants to make money again with star wars...right? Unless they dont care about money with star wars and its being funded by blackrock, vanguard, etc...
If this is so - the loss and ruination of his legacy with no chance to recover it is exactly what he deserves for supporting Iger in this past corporate election.
Never believed for a second George was coming back. Is it possible he will be a producer or something on a project maybe but I don’t see him coming back and having an active role in things anymore. I disconnected emotionally with Star Wars after Obi Wan dropped the ball. This whole saga of seeing how far Star Wars can fall is more entertaining than anything Disney is putting out these days
@@HossBlacksilver Yep, George should not get involved with the mess, Filoni and KK are now fully exposed to the Disney 'investors', and any flops are on their watch.
Black, orange, purple with fuchsia polka dots, I don't care what color the character is. Does the character make sense, is the character one that you like, or conversely is it one you like to dislike, and is the character an actual character not a cardboard cutout? I think true star wars fans (✋) will agree with me.
The man did it to himself when he came out and admitted that he was a Disney stockholder. He had a part in putting these people in charge, especially Dave Phony, and now he's reaping what he's sown. I have no sympathy whatsoever.
So can it be agreed upon that neither Favreau or Filoni are saving Star Wars from Kennedy and Iger. Iger is in charge and has been for 15 years. Look no further for the Sith Lord and his Acolyte.
FILONI DID NOT CREATE AHSOKA! Go to Wikipedia to see who wrote her in the Clone War movie and the TV series. He leached on to her character later on and finally destroyed her in her D+ show.
Wikipedia... What a trustworthy source of informations LOL! Felony wrote her and came up with the inappropriate design. Lucas didn´t write anything because he wasn´t a writer or director of anything anymore. His only influence on Ahwoka was he wanted a kid character in a show for kids, which makes sense. TCW was never supposed to be on the same level of canon as the films. It was supposed to be just a kids show, a starting point for the young audience who have an attention span for 20 minutes -long- short episodes but not for full-lenght movies. Nothing more. Felony is the one who thinks those animated kiddie shows are the center of Star Wars and his pet Mary Sues are more important than other characters including the ones from the OT.
Star Wars is in a worse place now than when Disney purchased it. Any new fans that KK expected to get are miniscule at best, if her goal was representation then that's the one thing she has accomplished but to get it she did what she allegedly promised to do and that was to burn it all down on her way out.
Spend money lol, I have a LightSaber side business, equalling in THOUSANDS + Just in Lightsabers alone, don't have a number (in the thosands+) for the figures, the ships, the pics and just general memorabilia........ haven't spent a dime on any of the "New Stuff" no interest, and I've been a fan since I saw ESB in 82 at our local drive in...... Star Wars is dead
I did the Savi’s workshop build your own lightsaber 5 times in the past. I built all 4 of the generation 1 sabers at $200 a pop. I built the power and control generation 2 because I thought it was the coolest looking of the 4 at $220. I proudly display these lightsabers in my office. For my birthday this year I’m going to Disneyland for the 1st time and have already made a reservation to build another lightsaber the protection and defense which is going to cost another $220. That’s not all the star wars stuff in my office which also includes others things I’ve purchased from star wars galaxies edge. Try and tell me I’m not a fan. Yes us true fans are willing to buy stuff and display it proudly.
Filoni loves filler, slow burn storytelling, and shoving all plot development in the last 3 episodes of the season for his animated shows. Just look at Star Wars Rebels and Bad Batch. How did anyone think Filoni would change his style for live action?
He loves bratty Mary Sues and uses his glorified fanfics as his personal revenge against all beautiful, feminine, "soft" girls and women he could never have and all the manly, cool, attractive boys and men who have them. He is so soy he can´t even insert himself into the story as a Gary Stue OC. :D All of his self-inserts are bratty, even narcissistic Mary Sues who are praised by everyone all the time and their bad deeds and mistakes are overlooked or shifted on someone else.
Kennedy and Filoni have done EXACTLY what Iger wanted them to do. That's why they've not only not been fired, but been rewarded.
I don’t think they were just following orders from Iger. I think they did exactly what they wanted to do with SW also, it just so happen to align with Iger’s demands. I think Kennedy is a true believer in this crap and Filoni is an opportunist without scruples.
@@echoesofmalachor3700 Then why does Filoni keep having Lucas on his set? 🤔

Like everything else Leftists taint.

Please, never ever compare or say Filoni is like Anakin/Darth Vader, no matter how similar the situation. It's an insult to Vader
Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni Baloney, Leslye Headland, Rian Johnson, JJ Abrams, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, all need to be shown the door.
As far as Star Wars is concern Like Dr. McCoy said to Kirk, 'He's dead Jim.'
If it was written today McCoy would say "He's dead Jim!" And Kirk would chastise him for using the wrong pronouns. "The corpse preferred they/them Bones!"
Just some honesty people.
Fans want a rich history of character they love. Amazing well written story without any agendas or DEI. They are also sick of the directors and Disney using fans as escape goats for bad acting and badly written story. But if Directors, Actors, and writers start calling fans names and accusing them of being toxic men, racism, sexism, anti-female, or bigots with the DEI agenda. Fans will fire back and these big companies forget that what makes a movie money is the fans. You insult them with name calling and accusing them of being something just because they want a decades rich story well written without DEI. They will boycott your movies. Back when the Original trilogy was in theaters, diverse crowds of humans stood around the block waiting for tickets, all enjoying each other's company. Nobody was excluded, nobody was told, "This isn't for you!" or "You're too toxic to stand in line with us." Nothing in the movies beat us over the head with politics. This was pure, escapist entertainment, and a LOT of the fans were young men who weren't the alpha coolest bad-asses, and their friends, families and dates. These guys loved being able to escape and feel like greatness was possible. Now? Diversity and Inclusion doesn't include us, not even a little bit.
👇
I have seen Star Wars from the day it started in 1977. Tired of decades of Star Wars rich history being destroyed just to please a DEI agenda. After Star Wars 1 throu 6 it has gone down hill. If it is not made by George Lucas.. It is not Star Wars period..The truth is it is not Lucas Films anymore. It is Kathleen Kennedy Films.
How about we start referring to Disney as a Toxic Alphabet Mafia Corp?
Dave Filoni better be careful about his own seat than being concerned about Lucas return. In Disney's DEI world, Filoni is male, white, straight and with OT roots.
Are we sure he is straight? Have you seen his “wife”? 😂
Filoni meet bus. Bus meet wall. Wall meet Cliff. Cliff meet abyss. Abyss meet K.K. Bob meet South Park. Investors meet major losses. Reality... priceless.
Token white male who'd better do what he's told.
Same applies to Rian Johnson, but seems like KK really liked him.
His wife is a Satan worshipper.
George Lucas himself said, "No, I'm retired." That's it. It doesn't matter what Dave Filoni says, it doesn't matter what anyone else says. George said the final word on it.
David Baloney is a day late and a dollar short, George shot first. :D
He also said they don't understand Star Wars. Pretty sure he doesn't want to return because he's seen what they've done to it.
@@qui-gonrick7002yep....no return of the Jedi... creator....
What if Lucas didn't fall in with Iger? Can you imagine? If Lucas was genuine he would have stood up for his IP. He didn't, he caved. And don't claim pressure from his wife or the left....He caved, therefore not genuine and a hypothetical asshole....period.
I’d be pretty pissed if created this cultural phenomenon only to have it be trashed by corporate imbeciles, but it’s George’s life.
The acolyte not a star wars story, it's a cop story. They've literally taken the script of a cop show and put that in the star wars universe. That's why it starts with a murder, that's why "A jedi does not attack the unarmed", "yes they do" does not make sense....but replace jedi with cop: "A cop does not attack the unarmed", "yes they do" - boom, suddenly you get why they've put it in there. Re-watch it with that in mind and suddenly everything makes sense. It's why they said it's about solving a murder and people scratched their heads going "but...we know who did it, it' right there in the very first part"....it is about solving a murder CASE, ie the cops solving a murder case, not the audience solving a murder mystery.
It's a show about a police cover up and the surviving victim getting revenge on those cops. With the cops offing themselves or adopting the victims out of sheer guilt over what they did. They were literally so ignorant that they took peacekeeper to mean cop...not protecting the peace like Qui Gon and Obi Wan set out to do in the begining of the prequels.
Placing a 'Rolls Royce' badge on a home made 'Beach Buggy' does not make the Buggy a Rolls.
Disney has a choice. Keep the team that has destroyed Star Wars or rebuild the franchise with talent loyal to SW Canon.
The Kennedy, Filoni, Headlin triad is not serious about SW.
They are agenda driven, not profit driven. It's up to Iger to fix this.
"Remember. There can only be Two. And you are no longer my apprentice."
Disney basically told Lucas they wanted nothing to do with his ideas.
Except for the guy who keeps inviting Lucas to the set. Dave something or other.... 🤔😏
@@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment Here in Britain it's called covering your arse.
@@Puzzoozoo And Lucas certainly seems cool with it. 🤔
@@Hard_Boiled_Entertainmentlol no he does not
@Bls-of1ld He keeps showing up to Filoni's sets. He's certainly cool with Dave's projects. "Lol"
Right after the Force Awakens they got confirmation that the fans still loved Star Wars and they took off in their own direction and never looked back.
Lucas said recently in an interview he isn't involved and he's retired from the whole Disylu mess.
Darth Falonius and Darth Kennedy have Sithed off waaay too many fans for the I.P to recover.
Dave, that power will consume you as it did to Kathleen
Who cares anymore 😢
Not me lol
@@mattburke5491I’ve moved on to Godzilla he’s been awesome since 1954.
7:18 I liked Ashoka in the cartoons. The live action version made me hate her, and Sebine. And Thron.
I think that George Lucas wouldn't and shouldn't return to Star wars. He should enjoy his retirement instead of attempting anything with star wars. It will fail and he gets the blame.
Also it would be a loss of face for Disney. In their mind Kathleen Kennedy was the best thing happen towards Star wars and letting George Lucas back would be like admitting defeat.
Lucas himself said that it was clear they didn't want him around when they were making The Force Awakens. Yes, he sold it, but I think he still wanted to be part of it. It's his creation.
The Ahsoka series started out with a reasonable following because people still believed that the "world between worlds" was going to be used to retcon the sequel trilogy. When that didn't happen, the large swath of remaining stragglers (myself included) finally realised the Dave was part of the problem.
That timetravel nonsense should be retconed even more than the sequels. You can´t fix one bad thing with another even worse thing.
And I don´t care if the sequels are retconed or not because they are just three movies which can be easily ignored: nothing starts with them, nothing ends with them.
Pissney would have to decanonize and remake not-Mando S3 into Mando S3 to make me consider giving them a chance again. Because S3 was supposed to be the epic end of Mando´s journey from an underdog foundling to the king and the scheming villain Bo-Tox-Karen was supposed to finally pay for her atrocities and d-i-e by the darksaber she wanted so much, and I will never accept anything else as canon. Therefore anything which acknowledges Bo-Karen S1 camouflaged as Mando S3 as canon is not canon to me by default.
I also don´t consider that stupid animated fanfic Rebels as canon and that trash-tier Mary Sue Dangerhair doesn´t exist to me. Neither does the timetravel portal which was shoehorned by Failoni only to bring back his pet OC Ahwoka.
Too bad that George Lucas did not make a deal (at the time he sold Star Wars to Disney) like what Gene Roddenbery of Star Trek did with Paramount, where George Lucas remains as an overseer consultant Co-Executive Producer with his company and Disney just split the profits with George. However never happened.
After the sleep inducing slog that was Ahsoka, no one should claim Filoni is going to save Star Wars
Best he doesn’t. Better that Disney’s failure be complete, then someone with talent and heart can buy it at a premium in the future.
New reality: FANS are bad. We form opinions and expectations =Bad. Audience should simply consume, obey, praise. Period.
I wonder if Disney will try and find a way to destroy that museum too
Or maybe they'll have these woke individuals do it for them.
He's not interested in anything Lucas has to say.
Why would we even want George to come back at this point? What, so they can destroy anything he makes again? There is nothing George or anyone can do to reconcile Disney Star Wars with actual Star Wars. Fundamentally they're opposed in virtually every way and the only reason why Disney Star Wars is even called Star Wars at all is because Iger scammed George out of the franchise so they could thieve the name. Hell, Iger is the one who even published how he did it. Nothing about Disney is Star Wars and it never will be.
I like your words especially “Disney Star Wars” to differentiate from our Star Wars.. I am going to use that too
George has said he's retired and not coming back. Why is this news?
George himself already dispelled any desire to come back at Cannes. He’s happily retired enjoying time with his family and too old and too busy with his museum and Skywalker Ranch.
Movie ratings system should be updated to include "Sexual innuendo" that's a polite way of saying strong sexual suggestion.
I'm a parent of 2, I would love to know that BEFORE watching a show or movie, why do we have to keep getting caught off guard and by suprise, and then we have to quickly try to explain what our kids are seeing when we had no idea what we were going to be subjected to.
Its just common courtesy and a good business practice.
A long time ago, there was 'George Lucas's living FORCE, the one that penetrated the franchise and the fandom and bound everything together. Filoni learned at the feet of the Jedi Grandmaster. Nowadays, Dave Floni has had his kahunas cut off and the women in Lucasfilm are taking turns carrying them around in their purses, sad.
I can't forgive that Disney Killed off the Skywalker and Solo family. Plus everything Star Wars, I've seen from Disney was or turned into crap. I don't think even George Lukas can save the current situation that Star Wars is in now.
I dont get why people stll care anything disney touches is a lost cause
Anybody wonder how Lucas film and Disney leadership meetings go? How much spinning and blame shifting and coping? Dang I’d kill to be a fly on the wall
"What can men do against such reckless hate?"
I'd sooner expect to see Marcia Lucas return at this point.
Considering how Filoni is always the one having Lucas visiting the sets of his shows...I'd say, by the actual data, "BANISHING" ain't exactly accurate. But you're right about one thing: Any notion of Lucas taking Lucasfilm back is RIDICULOUS fantasy. And frankly, with how he officially endorsed Iger and trashed Nelson Peltz's campaign...we shouldn't WANT him back. (Plus, who shot first, Han or Greedo?) Seriously, people, whoever can be trusted to restore Star Wars...IT AIN'T LUCAS.
Most Star Wars fans got what they deserved!!! For treating George Lucas WORSE THAN A CRIMINAL!!! Why should Lucas return?? When he was treated like shit in the first place cuz they didn't like a few of his movies?? Unlike many so- called fans, I respect/like/admire/HONOR Mr. Lucas( he made my favorite movies the old trilogy, and that WILL NEVER CHANGE.) He should give FANS A BIG MIDDLE FINGER!! They deserve the GIANT SHIT that Disney has bee giving them--and WORSE. And WORSE than the Acolyte. ENJOY the show!!!
@tonyfendex2558 Who shot first? Han or Greedo? BTW, two other directors directed Empire and Return...and Lawrence Kasden wrote the screenplays. Meanwhile, the often maligned Prequels were all directed and written by Lucas.
Thank you. That had to be said. He helped sabotage nelson peltz’s attempt to take over and fix this mess. His moment of truth came and instead of protecting his creation he grabbed his ankles and took it up the ass from iger and his stooges. He could have come out richer and a hero to his fans but no.
I always thought Ahsoka was way way over rated. The entire clone wars was way over rated. That's what there is Ahsoka and the witches. Everything else like Thrawn was out of the EU.
Don't think anyone realistically thought he would come back. Why would he want to get involved in this shit storm. Even if it wouldn't matter.
Considering their illegal hiring process leaked as of recently you would think they wouldn't be so keen to draw attention right now
I have never had confidence on Filoni's vision for SW, so it might be good of Lucas to buy it back, but frankly some of the movies outside of his ability to control we're actually I think probably better than what he can put together himself, I'm sorry Solo and Rogue One are excellent pictures, and are some of the best of any of the Star Wars franchise all together.
"Solo and ... are excellent pictures" Read A C Crispin's trilogy and Brian Daley trilogy which slots in between The Hutt Gambit and Rebel Dawn - which ends in the ANH cantina, and then watch Solo again to see why it isn't "excellent".
Were shareholders smart enough to pick up on essentially an admission of money laundering? The writer of ep.4 posted on X that the episode was devoid of action because they were short on funds. Not only did she admit a curious mismanagement of funds, she raised the question of, is ep.4 where they tried to make up for missing funds or did it mark the start of declining episodes from here on out.
I grew up on the clone wars and I remember it fondly. However I have seen how the weeds like filoni and Kennedy have been allowed to grow out of control without George and just taint every corner of Star Wars. When filoni was first getting his live action shot I was somewhat hopeful but that’s been entirely dashed now. Personally I don’t have the same reverence for Rosario Dawson that so many people do. Idk if I’m just missing whatever films she was in that built that image but personally all I know her as is Ashoka and also a few small roles here and there and her role in dying light 2. Because of that my opinion of her is not good. I think Ashoka should stay as a younger woman with a more light personality overall but that’s just me. I feel like George wants to come back but the ones who claim to have learned from him won’t let him have any control because it’s behind closed doors and they can keep that event on the hush hush. I hope Disney burns and all its IPs get sold off yard sale style so we can atleast have a chance of good stories under new ownership.
I wouldn't have much in anyone claiming responsibility for what Star Wars currently is. If I was in anyway involved, I'd do everything possible to distance myself from this trash.
We couldn’t save Star Wars, but Disney can be damn sure we’ll avenge it.
Unfortunately, don’t care anymore.
I’m just going to look for anything that says Star Wars Legends.
Everyone has to go Darth Kennedy aka KK Count dooku aka Dave Failoni and Lesyle Headlamp aka the Phatom menance fire them all
It’s comical that the “creative manager & lead editor” of the Rippaverse is criticizing another company for having characters that are unlikeleable.

5 years ago or so, rumors of a Lucas return would have given me hope. Ive since come to peace with the fact star wars is dead
What in the world, the only rumors about Lucas are internet podcasters. The dude is 80yrs old. Does anyone know any 80yr olds? They are not going to buy a 5bn dollar company, and then start the process of making a movie that takes 5 or 6yrs to come out. By the time he bought the company, wrote a script and then did all the things to get the movie filmed he would be around 90yrs old. They dont have the energy or the mental capacity for that type of commitment. Not to mention he has just as good of a chance of dying in that time period as being alive to see it complete. People act like they dont know that age is a real thing.
The reason he sold it, was because he was through with Star Wars. Sure, he's upset with them messing with his "children", but he should of thought of that before giving them to Disney.
@@craigcarroll3303 We all die. Does he stick it out until the end when he was creatively tapped out or does he cash in? One way or another someone else down the road was going to control the IP. The DIsney of 10+ years ago was sliding downhill but was nowhere near what Disney of today is.
Not Big Blockbusters, but Clint Eastwood still turned out some good stuff at 80+. He's 94 now. His movies were smaller and weren't huge extravaganzas, but take away the money involved, Eastwood is/was a much better producer/director than Lucas. Overall, you are correct, but there are exceptions.
What? Don't have the energy or mental capacity? You have no idea what you are talking about. Tell that to Clint Eastwood, Nelson Peltz, Martin Scorsese just to name a few. And they are more mental clarity than you ever will have. Get out more, read, study, go learn something, because you sound foolish.
@@dlewis9760 But he didnt buy a 5bn company and then have to start a movie. he just had to make them. Even so its very impressive and very very rare. And as you pointed out, they are very different movie types.
Witches were a dumb idea (although i like the idea of different force sects) and so was bringing back maul. Maul was a cool character but his story should have been told in the time before his death in episode I

*Dave throws an excess of Epic Hero Series (those middling 5POA 3.75” figures they’ve been putting out since the start of 2024) Ahsoka and Sabine figures at his critics*
Filoni was GIVEN the Affectation of Lucas's Padawan by Industry Reporters well Prior to 2012. Because Back Then there Really wasn't any Damage. Just some DISLIKE of the Prequels really which Today are considered Master Pieces by comparison to Disney's era.
It was Given Due to GOODWILL BY ASSOCIATION and NOT Because of TALENTS Demonstrated.
The CREDITS Tell the Tale of his "Advancement" and he Didn't Really EARN it when it comes to where he is now.
He Wasn't the Last Most QUALIFIED man standing after the Disney Acquisition and PREDISNEY EMPLOYEE PURGE.
And YES this DID Happen. How do we Know this? Take @Knee Payne as an Example of a Former Lucasfilm Employee who Left the company During the Disney Era...because according to him, it Just Wasn't Lucasfilm anymore. New People were suddenly Brought In by KK and Many who Had been there for Decades were Essentially Displaced or Driven Out as KK Inserted People as well as Agendas into play.
Filoni, the now Proven Spineless Weasel he is, Towed the Line, was the one to Volunteer to Do the Things that put him and kept him in KKs good Graces.
Because he Wanted The Top Creative Lead Chair, and he Wanted to Live Direct...even though he had YEARS and YEARS prior to the Acquisition by Disney to PURSUE those goals in Earnest. And he COULD HAVE but Didn't...WHY?
There was an Active Turnover an Opportunity for advancements. I even once skimmed the Lucasfilm Ldt employment section a few times to see if there were any openings for anyone with My skillset. Back Then it WAS a Dream Job.
If I COULD APPLY then So Could HE...he was Already IN HOUSE.
So WHY NOT Any SUBSTANTIAL ADVANCE towards the Goal of Live Action.
He Can't Say That Wasn't his Goal when he Sought to get in there.
Nobody in their Right Minds Applied to Lucasfilm Ltd with the Strict Idea of NEVER Wanting to Work On a LIVE ACTION Star Wars Project. That's EVERY STAR WARS FANS DREAM..to be IN One or MAKING one.
His CHARACTER and Demeanor Tells the Tale. The Weasel Simp he has Proven himself to be Backs Up the Tale.
And the Tale which I'm Pulling Out of my Ass is Pure Speculation...but I'm gonna Bet it's pretty Close to the Mark because I've KNOWN a Few like Him in my day.
They and He only EVER Talk BIG when they've got Backup Bigger than Themselves to save his butt.
For us LOTR Fans, Hes a WORM TONGUE. A YES Ma'am...he Does As he's Told like any Whipped Simp of a man does. Balls, Masculinity and Autonomy all Sacrificed for THE GOAL.
He DIDN'T ADVANCE Under GEORGE but DID Under KK.
WHY?!!!
Because as The CREATOR of Star Wars He DEALT WITH ALL of Filoni's Ideas. If they were for the most part GOOD Ideas, Impressive Ideas...or even Most Impressive Ideas, Then George would have Advanced Him to Executive Creative Lead PRIOR to Lucasfilm...BUT he DIDN'T....Because...His Ideas for the MOST Part were NOT GOOD IDEAS and OBVIOUSLY George did NOT APPROVE of them All.
All CLONE WARS Filoni was apart of that Was Good Had BEEN Through Better Hands and Shaped and LED by Better Hands Than Filoni's.
He Wouldn't have DARED to wear that Ahsoka Lives shirt If Lucasfilm was Still Owned by George Lucas.
So with George GONE, and KK well Sucked Up to, a Position was Created for his Servitude and Supplication and was Given the Chances he Truly Desired...and FAILED MISERABLY.
Favreau handled Ahsoka BETTER than He Did and theres NO COMPARISON.
The SUCCESS and POSITIVE RECEPTION to her Live Action Debut in THE MANDALORIAN was All DUE to JOHN FAVREAU...Not Dave Filoni.
Filoni is NO STEWARD of Star Wars because he Made it NEGOTIABLE and BENT IT TO HIMSELF...Unlike the Successful Authors who made the EU who BENT THEMSELVES TO the Materials.
That's why They Earned their Positive Reviews Based upon the MERITS.
Filoni has Shown his DEMERITS and SQUANDERED his OPPORTUNITY and Failed his Dream.
He Failed because He WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH to ADVANCE to THIS LEVEL and GEORGE KNEW IT.
KK DIDN'T...no Surprise there, and she Elevated him, Gave him the Opportunity that George Denied him Because he Wasn't Good Enough AND his Tendency was to Make Star Wars HIS...when its NOT His.
Its NOT Anyone's.
Take TIMOTHY ZAHN for instance.
Zahn Back Then BENT HIMSELF TO Star Wars in Order to Write It.
Any "JOBBER" Author who Works on any Ongoing Preexisting Series HAD TO Bend Themselves TO the MATERIALS in Order to Do Their Installments and Keep the IP Flavor INTACT and SEPARATE from Other IP even while having Enough Freedom and Leeway to NOD to them without Completely Ripping them off and merely Redress a story and characters.
Everyone who has Ever Written FOR Star Wars PRE DISNEY has HAD to DO Just That...BEND THEMSELVES TO the MATERIALS.
Dave Filoni is the FIRST OG Lucasfilm writer to DEVIATE from that Basic Law of Legacy IP STEWARDSHIP.
Every writer apart of KKs Crew, which Includes Filoni as their Installed Ringleader but Clearly even his Meager Talents have Not Rubbed Off at All for All of his Rewriting of the Acolyte and its PAINFULLY obvious.
No this is ge Guy who Sneaks into see the boss Ahead of the More Qualified guy who's distracted for a Moment, Filoni Turns and Quietly Flips the Double Bird at the Better at his Job Writer and Scooped the spot.
He is where he is because he VOWED to Do WHATEVER KK Asked of him and he Got what he wanted.
It ONLY COST him and Everyone Else the STAR WARS he Fell in love with in the First place.
That's who he is...
"He is no Jedi..."
Consider its 14% on Rotten Tomatoes only because there is a minimum mark to give. If it were zero stars it would be even lower
The only "Force Fu" I want to see in Star Wars is the LIGHTSABER Form IV called "Ataru", which is the most acrobatic form of actual LIGHTSABER combat--NOT whatever ridiculous thing that "Force Fu" in episode 1 was.
“It SUCKS and it’s DUMB!” Thank you SO MUCH Chris Gore That needs to be on a t-shirt….
I've been pointing out Filoni's flaws since Clone Wars. He's never understood character motivation. I can point out dozens and dozens of instances in CW, Ahsoka and book of Boba where characters make ridiculous decisions that just don't make logical sense. Nice to see others opening their eyes to Filoni's lack of talent
George should know the saying:
Cría cuervos que te comen los ojos.
Raise crows that eat out your eyes.
George should have taken the money, and never, ever looked back. He sold out, it's not his anymore. That is what selling out means. Sit back and count your pieces of silver.
Yeah🏴☠️ count your 30,000,000,000 pieces of silver Lucas Iscariot
@jironthunder7519 It's easy calling him a traitor now, after fans basically bullied him because of the Prequels 😂
There were some excellent episodes of the Clone Wars & Rebels. It is also true there were long stretches of these series that were unwatchable. Ahsoka, the live-action series, had some cool moments. It could have been great, but mostly it was "meh". So, I'm skeptical that Dave Filoni helming the Star Wars franchise is the change we have been looking for.
Filoni was a story board artist. Means he can come up with some cool visuals. But he sucks donkey d for story and plot. Ergo, The Clone Wars and Rebels has SOME good interesting episodes, but a lot of head scratching WTF. I actually like them for what they are, but now have to reject all of it, for how badly they broke canon.
Darth Harvey Headland and her apprentice Baloney Filoni are the future of Disney-Kennedyfilm
"Nothing is permanent." Buddha
Nothing Dave Felony comes up with is really Star Wars anyway. That ended in 2012. What they're doing now is akin to moving the corpse around with puppet strings attached rather than giving it a proper burial.
Here's an F for FIloni.
Always two there are...And everyone assumed KK was the apprentice. Plot twist,it was felloni the whole time.
George has always said he is not coming back and moved on from Star Wars? This is a nothing story.
Scorched Earth at KENNEDYFILM has to happen. Everyone and everything has to go.
Lucas should advise on how to restore LUCASFILM by hiring competent people instead of activists.
Yep, only the janitors should be safe, everyone else up to and including KK isn't.
@@Puzzoozoo they need to go as well. There needs to be no one left in the building.
Kathleen's mission is to deconstruct George's vision of hope and heroism and reconstruct it as her own vision of hopelessness and amorality.
When they turn this into an adult film, they will not have e to do much tweaking!!😮
This is really disappointing. I had a high regard for Filoni. I love Clones and Rebels.
Lucas had a good run, true fans will care more of his pre 2k works
I wish people would drop the delusion that Lucas would save Star Wars even if he did own it. He started the decline.
THANK YOU!!!
I think the decline happened when Marcia Lucas left.
@WaltRight So, genius...who shot first: Han or Greedo? You okay with "Greedo" being the answer?
Yes, the prequels mostly sucked. Lucas hired Kennedy and when he sold it to the “white slavers”, he selected her to head up Lucas films.
@@Hard_Boiled_EntertainmentIt's George's creation, he is the only one that matters. I am sure you could create a more successful franchise, NOT.
I'll get you my pretty and your little Wookie to.
Fits Star Wars perfectly now!
What's not to like!!!
I dont think star wars is long for this world. When the acolyte series finishes with a sub 10% audience score and loses a ton of money heads are going to turn. At some point disney wants to make money again with star wars...right? Unless they dont care about money with star wars and its being funded by blackrock, vanguard, etc...
If this is so - the loss and ruination of his legacy with no chance to recover it is exactly what he deserves for supporting Iger in this past corporate election.
Lucas is 80 years old another triliogy would take him to almost 100 years old he cant come back
Woke they got. Broke they will go.
Never believed for a second George was coming back. Is it possible he will be a producer or something on a project maybe but I don’t see him coming back and having an active role in things anymore. I disconnected emotionally with Star Wars after Obi Wan dropped the ball. This whole saga of seeing how far Star Wars can fall is more entertaining than anything Disney is putting out these days
Producer in name only, just enough so they can have him take the bulk blame and shield KK and Headland.
@@HossBlacksilver Yep, George should not get involved with the mess, Filoni and KK are now fully exposed to the Disney 'investors', and any flops are on their watch.
Paulie is 100% correct
I vote no confidence in Dave Filoni. Disney / Lucasfilm I have stories to out pace The Infinity Saga! Have Hope fans!
Black, orange, purple with fuchsia polka dots, I don't care what color the character is. Does the character make sense, is the character one that you like, or conversely is it one you like to dislike, and is the character an actual character not a cardboard cutout? I think true star wars fans (✋) will agree with me.
The man did it to himself when he came out and admitted that he was a Disney stockholder. He had a part in putting these people in charge, especially Dave Phony, and now he's reaping what he's sown. I have no sympathy whatsoever.
George made filoni what an absolute betrayal
Watto and Filoni in the same room, I think not…
They have the same hat!
So can it be agreed upon that neither Favreau or Filoni are saving Star Wars from Kennedy and Iger. Iger is in charge and has been for 15 years. Look no further for the Sith Lord and his Acolyte.
FILONI DID NOT CREATE AHSOKA! Go to Wikipedia to see who wrote her in the Clone War movie and the TV series. He leached on to her character later on and finally destroyed her in her D+ show.
Wikipedia... What a trustworthy source of informations LOL! Felony wrote her and came up with the inappropriate design. Lucas didn´t write anything because he wasn´t a writer or director of anything anymore. His only influence on Ahwoka was he wanted a kid character in a show for kids, which makes sense. TCW was never supposed to be on the same level of canon as the films. It was supposed to be just a kids show, a starting point for the young audience who have an attention span for 20 minutes -long- short episodes but not for full-lenght movies. Nothing more. Felony is the one who thinks those animated kiddie shows are the center of Star Wars and his pet Mary Sues are more important than other characters including the ones from the OT.
Dave Filoni is now a bigger traitor than Pablo Hidalgo.
This reeks of the “I’m in charge, Phasma!” scene from TFA. 😑 Same energy.
Star Wars is in a worse place now than when Disney purchased it. Any new fans that KK expected to get are miniscule at best, if her goal was representation then that's the one thing she has accomplished but to get it she did what she allegedly promised to do and that was to burn it all down on her way out.
Spend money lol, I have a LightSaber side business, equalling in THOUSANDS + Just in Lightsabers alone, don't have a number (in the thosands+) for the figures, the ships, the pics and just general memorabilia........ haven't spent a dime on any of the "New Stuff" no interest, and I've been a fan since I saw ESB in 82 at our local drive in...... Star Wars is dead
This isn’t bad news. It’s simply confirmation of what folks have known for a LONG time. Star Wars has been gone for a decade now.
And were banishing Star Wars cause its absolute ass now.
Disney should change the company name to "Filonifilm"
I did the Savi’s workshop build your own lightsaber 5 times in the past. I built all 4 of the generation 1 sabers at $200 a pop. I built the power and control generation 2 because I thought it was the coolest looking of the 4 at $220. I proudly display these lightsabers in my office. For my birthday this year I’m going to Disneyland for the 1st time and have already made a reservation to build another lightsaber the protection and defense which is going to cost another $220. That’s not all the star wars stuff in my office which also includes others things I’ve purchased from star wars galaxies edge. Try and tell me I’m not a fan. Yes us true fans are willing to buy stuff and display it proudly.
Filoni loves filler, slow burn storytelling, and shoving all plot development in the last 3 episodes of the season for his animated shows. Just look at Star Wars Rebels and Bad Batch. How did anyone think Filoni would change his style for live action?
He loves bratty Mary Sues and uses his glorified fanfics as his personal revenge against all beautiful, feminine, "soft" girls and women he could never have and all the manly, cool, attractive boys and men who have them. He is so soy he can´t even insert himself into the story as a Gary Stue OC. :D All of his self-inserts are bratty, even narcissistic Mary Sues who are praised by everyone all the time and their bad deeds and mistakes are overlooked or shifted on someone else.
