@@dubbyplays you haven't watched the video, have you?!...like at least lets say one and a half minutes of it would've sufficed for your question to be answered
Why would you build those sets before season 2 is greenlit? That's not only financial mismanagement, but potentially a way to strong arm Disney into green lighting a 2nd season. Put another way, it's like saying "if you don't greenlight season 2" then you can't stand a chance to recoup these costs.
I am not mad at all, actually I think Disney deserves this. You hire ppl to destroy franchises fans grew up on and blame the fans for not supporting bad products, call fans toxic etc,. Seems like justice to me.
You ask me Disney was destroyed because it was an American idol. I get they were always jingoistic and propagandistic nvm greedy cooperate monsters but they still projected the ideal image of America we all grew up with.
I’m old enough to remember return of the Jedi in cinemas, no one’s destroyed anything….. Fans are pretty toxic these days, it’s just one big whinge fest……Theres too many way too invested in a story that isn’t real.
Just got out of a Walmart toy department. There’s an entire half pallet of Star Wars Acolyte in the main aisle. Full of Legends Action Figures and Lightsabers. Including a saber for Kelnacca. Once again, Walmart gets burned and will be stuck with a lot of clearance merch… like from Lightyear and New Little Mermaid.
Saw Rogue One, then it was Mary Sue Awakens. They lost me at that point, as far as I'm concerned, the story and the lore ended with Rogue One. That's a shame, because I thought that Daisy Ridley and John Boyega showed such promise; the story just wasn't there.
how to know disney has screwed the pooch. I didn't know there was footage of the next proper star wars movie leaked out there.... and i don't care enough to look it up.
Simple business plan! If a restaurant or cafe dishes up food that tastes like crap or is basically unpalatable, then people are not going to consume it and therefore zero dollars will be made. The problem is they are dishing up garbage with a massive side dish of self righteousness which makes it even more undigestable and they are blaming the consumers for not wanting it. I'm no business guru but even I can understand the problem.
The strangest thing to me is that when they first announced the Acolyte, I knew it was going to be a dumpster fire. It absolutely turned out to be as such!
I feel sorry for Bob Chapek the prior Disney CEO, that many people blamed him for Disney's poor performance; but it was really Bob Iger since he green lighted many of those failed projects. ETA go woke, go broke.
Insane to me that iger is not being pushed out by the Disney board, is Disney not a publicly traded company? If I was an investor in Disney I would be so absolutely livid that the guy running the company is commiting financial suicide in order to push his own political agenda at the cost of utterly destroying the franchises owned by the company, this is dage that is going to take many years to undue, if it's even possible. They've lost the core fan base and have failed to find this new "modern audience" they keep insisting exists. What they don't get is this tiny minority of "diversity warriors" are the the loudest extremists in the room and there IS NO modern audience! People want the star wars we know and love not this ridiculous virtue signalling that only a tiny group of weirdos relate to. Please sell star wars! Disney needs to just stick to their cartoon kids stuff and get out of star wars completely.
KK deserves much of the credit, but let's be real, she did nothing that the rest of Disney didn't do or support. Even George Lucas defended her in the proxy fight. This failure has many parents.
Comment des administrateurs ont put prendre la décision de donné un tel projet à une L Headin? C'est gents devraient eux aussi se remetre en question sérieusement.
It simple, they want a fame that comes from making them but severely lack skills necessary to write plot and are too narcissistic and petty to admit that. Look at interviews with former Harvey Weinstein assistant, its only 'me', 'mine' and more 'me'. There is no DEI, no woke as they are used to silence access media, just some small, petty people who rather destroy then allow someone to took the fame. The stuff they are writing is sooo subpar and full of holes, it's clear that they have never wrote anything in their life.
Just listening to the interviews you realize the director-show runner was totally unqualified for this job. Bob Iger and Kennedy are also totally incompetent. The real question is how do these people manage to keep their jobs for so long.
Yea, it's so strange the amount of people get this wrong I notice, I don't open my mouth when they do it but it makes you realise, people just repeat what they hear without actually thinking about what they are saying, scary.
@@patricks9401 Yeah, it really shows a person not thinking about what they are saying when they misuse phrases like that, obviously not understanding them, or the basics of the language they're abusing. Like "step foot" which also makes no sense; you set your feet, you don't step them...
Harveys former personal assistant spent money on building season 2 sets to try to take advantage of sunk loss fallacy to force Disney into approving the second season. This should be considered corporate embezzlement
star wars wont come back. It wasn't even that good to begin with, it threaded new ground for the time it was made, it was cool back when the lore still had mysticism surrounding it and not everything was expained. but it does nothing that every other sci fi series doesn't do better the moment the last of the current fans dies of old age, SW will go with them
@@grant9301 Star Trek does do something no other Sci Fi series does bettern than anyone, the optimistic future, at least early Star Trek did The only thing Star Wars has going for are the laser swords and psychic powers. both very generic things the film doesn't even fully exploit until the prequels (that everyone hates) came around. 40K beats it in Grim/Dark, Flash Gordon beats it in Camp/Cheeze, Guardians of the Galaxy beats it in Flash/Spectacle, Dune beats it in Politics/Philosophy Being the first big budget Sci Fi blockbuster is Star Wars only enduring quality, but it's a very dated quality Star Trek may comeback one day, in the hands of better writter, if not in name, prehaps in spirit, but Star Wars is just name and nothing more
They put the cart in front of the horse they didn't know if they had a successful movie before making the action figures and playsets and posters now they get to sleep in the bed they made.
Disney is being taught the hard way that basic business principles apply to it too, one of which is that you must produce a product which customers want.
I also hear KK is planning to help leslye and Amandala take Disney to court over the cancellations, don't think Lucas will even have money left over even if they got their wish and a season 2
And the Critics are vindicated. All the bad reviews did NOT result in good numbers for the show. So all the folks saying “hate watching helps them” can shut right up.
That’s a major sign that Disney is hurting. They can’t get people to like their product and “The Modern Audience”/Communist Audience, didn’t show up with money. Maybe this is a new Arc for Disney, The Death Spiral Arc/Mini series. Where we watch a company that went full special Ed, now deals with the consequences of going broke.
From Lucas actually owning his own 'Lucas Film' to Disney buying it, continuously botching it?! And unofficially turning it to 'PukeUs Film Studios' 🤢🤮🤮🤮 😹
I blame Black Rock's ESG scores for this because Leslye Headland's first script wasn't as focused on politics and Kathy rejected it, asking her to woke it up.
I’ve been waiting for this!!! I’ve always said Disney can only DOUBLE DOWN for so long!! The Era of ‘The Message’ and DEI is almost over!!!! 🍿💯👏 We just need to Replace Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy and MAYBE JUST MAYBE a new Disney Era can begin and start to repair the damage… it’s never going to happen with these ‘Leaders’ 🤡
I don't understand why you would take a franchise with a ready made huge fan base and a ready made narrative that you could expand on and have an almost guaranteed success but then decide to destroy it and insult the fans
Jesus, so, who is buying Lucasfilm and Star Wars? also, Marvel and stuff? Hope the workers don't go through a lot of pain after this financial colapse.
I think they need to take a break from anything Star Wars (at least a 3-5 year Hiatus) while also making the acolyte and movies #7,8 and 9 not cannon. Then when they start making content again, focus on taking stuff straight from legends and onto a screen. A Bane trilogy, etc.
Perhaps Disney should take a page out of Atari's playbook and bury all of the Acolyte merchandise in a New Mexico landfill. Who knows? In a thousand years, even it may be worth something!
I agree they need to take a break or sell it. Rather do that than destroy it and what George Lucas envisioned. Hopefully the just sell it so they can't destroy it even more.
8:11 They have two Galaxy Edges, one in Disneyland and one in World plus those lands have one of the best theme park dark rides in the world. Disney will not give the rights to Star Wars, they're to invested. Makes more sense selling off some of the Fox IP to Universal and other companies. Predator, Aliens, and Independence Day just sitting in DIsney's pocket. Sell the rights to Simpson to Universal since they already have the Simpson lands in their theme parks, LA and Orlando.
Kathleen Kennedy and Leslie Headland should have been fired yesterday! The product they delivered in was atrocious. Bob Iger should be axed as well for allowing this to even see the light of day. He alone brought this woke business to the franchise. Disney board!
I just rewatched andor ep 1 and it clicked for me. The visual appeal wasn't there for me with the Acolyte. I wasn't transferred to another world visually. It did look cheap. For all that money that was spent.
They could make soooo much money just exploring any number of classic characters' back story in a traditional Star Wars way. Boom! Back into the profits and Star Wars followers will come back.
Disney share price is going back up. One investor sold about 3billion in shares dropping the price to $85 from $122 at the beginning of the year. Prospects that Disney might be sold has the investors buying. Theme parks always pull in crowds even after the DEI men dressed as Disney princesses. Nothing like Snow White with a beard.
They can't just accept that Star wars has been and always will be a boy's brand. So they keep trying tp shove that circular block through the square hole, hemhorraging money all the while.
are you telling me that they jump the gun so hard that they made sets and stuff for the shooting of season 2??!!! they could make 1 decent season???!!! and now we know where the 150 million went
It's almost like Disney was forced into DEI from an outside party. Then did it reluctantly, and also badly on purpose so it wouldn't last. At least I like to think that's what happened. But I've been known to give other far more credit than they deserve.
They can still sell the merchandise, can't they? There are probably a lot of things like the sword hilts and figurines that would still sell to collectors.
Tout ces décors et scènes sensé être pour la saison 2, été la stratégie du "fait accompli". Hé regardé, nous avons déjà investit des millions ds des décors ect... Une chose bénéfique, c'est que la Stenberg a enfin fermé sa bouche. Elle se fait toute petite en se momment ?
I can't believe they really thought The Acolyte was going to be a success! They spent so much money on a show that was no where near what the fans wanted. How much longer can they continue to throw money away? I guess the "small minority of fans that disagree with Disney Star Wars" is a lot bigger than KK would like to admit to. Now, what's their excuse for not giving the fans SW shows that are made by real writers, directors and fans of George Lucas' original vision. They say they're going after new fans but now they've lost almost all of their fans, good job!!
All of the Black Series figs have been sitting on shelves for weeks in my area. Maybe they’ll be collectors items due to this cancellation but they’re not moving as of now.
So wait, did they not use The Volume to film this show? Wasn't the whole point of The Volume to cut down on set production costs by creating virtual sets that were simply augmented by minor practical additions?
Let it burn! This is one reason i'm happy Stargate is on hiatus, hopefully by the time it comes back there will be real story tellers back in positions of power.
Disney must realize folks do not want to see WOKE entertainment and Disney does not have to participate as much as they have with these Diversity, equity, Inclusion issues. Disney already has shown enough Entertainment shows to prove they have addressed these issues. now it's time for Disney to produce non WOKE material people want to see.
AT 7.57 CORRECTION ought to be "I could NOT care less". Means you have no cares left to give. Not, "I could care less", since that means you do care, and you could care less than your current level.
The thing that is Disrespectful, Distressing is the Lack of Homage to Joseph Campbell's work to our collective human experience of story telling. Lucas knew in the early days now it is just painting by forced nostalgic numbers leading to fake heros
I often wonder if Kathleen Kennedy has some major dirt on the people in power at Disney, for her not to have been fired long ago
she's been part of Hollywood for 50+ years.
she knows who's been to "the island."
iger's not gonna' do _anything_ to upset her evil ass.
It might just be politics. She's been built up into a feminist hero. The culture in the industry (not the audience, necessarily) has everyone terrified of not being seen as progressive or feminist enough.
Or she might know some things about Lucas, Spielberg, or who knows who else. She's been around a long time and worked with some of these people closely.
remember her and bob iger do not work for disney they work for black rock a large investor in disney and focused on woke and dei policies
Yeap!
Her destruction of Star Wars was tribal!
When DEI fantasy meets consumer reality. These aren't the products we are looking for...
Disney: "These are not the products you are looking for. . . ."
They were able to convince us that without using the Force. They had to go woke, and now not even Star Wars can save them from inevitably going broke.
DEI=Disney Evil Idiocy
And they will blame racism of course. Not their own utter incompetence.
Racism blah blah blah sexism blah blah blah bigotry blah blah blah
There, that's the next shill journo script, they can use it free of charge it will save them a few minutes to write it themselves.
We are all racist bigots!!! They told us to stop watching and guess what??? Garbage ass Woke Wars!

Iger destroyed it. Right from the start he wrecked the corporate culture of internal promotion and "a career for life" which Walt established

@@raevjno it wasn't always propaganda. Only since 2016, when everyone in entertainment decided to become idiots.

The customer is always right.

Karma doesn't discriminate and doesn't care how much Blackrock is funneling to you
I’m hoping that Disney loses even more money so they will sell Star Wars
good to know 10s of millions of dollars of the budget went into making sets for season 2 instead of season 1. it showed.
Just got out of a Walmart toy department. There’s an entire half pallet of Star Wars Acolyte in the main aisle. Full of Legends Action Figures and Lightsabers. Including a saber for Kelnacca.

It makes ZERO sense to cater to less than 10% of your customers and ignore what the 90% want to buy and see.
Less than 1%.
I will say it again ALL of the Disney exec should be FIRED they are all totally USELESS IMO
It's Disney, they don't care about the fans. If you want something ruined sell it to Disney.
Not soon enough....
I despise Disney......they destroyed everything.

I just rewatched andor ep 1 and it clicked for me. The visual appeal wasn't there for me with the Acolyte. I wasn't transferred to another world visually. It did look cheap. For all that money that was spent.
So disappointed that I will not be able to collect the Leslye Headland’s Green Alien Wife action figure 😢
They could make soooo much money just exploring any number of classic characters' back story in a traditional Star Wars way. Boom! Back into the profits and Star Wars followers will come back.
Any merch or props made it out before cancelling? If so, they will be collector's item after 30 years 😂
Disney share price is going back up. One investor sold about 3billion in shares dropping the price to $85 from $122 at the beginning of the year. Prospects that Disney might be sold has the investors buying. Theme parks always pull in crowds even after the DEI men dressed as Disney princesses. Nothing like Snow White with a beard.
They can't just accept that Star wars has been and always will be a boy's brand. So they keep trying tp shove that circular block through the square hole, hemhorraging money all the while.
are you telling me that they jump the gun so hard that they made sets and stuff for the shooting of season 2??!!! they could make 1 decent season???!!! and now we know where the 150 million went
It's almost like Disney was forced into DEI from an outside party. Then did it reluctantly, and also badly on purpose so it wouldn't last. At least I like to think that's what happened. But I've been known to give other far more credit than they deserve.
They can still sell the merchandise, can't they? There are probably a lot of things like the sword hilts and figurines that would still sell to collectors.
Tout ces décors et scènes sensé être pour la saison 2, été la stratégie du "fait accompli".
Hé regardé, nous avons déjà investit des millions ds des décors ect...
Une chose bénéfique, c'est que la Stenberg a enfin fermé sa bouche. Elle se fait toute petite en se momment ?
A lot of the merchandise can be sold elsewhere.
Just give it back to George Lucas.
I can't believe they really thought The Acolyte was going to be a success! They spent so much money on a show that was no where near what the fans wanted. How much longer can they continue to throw money away? I guess the "small minority of fans that disagree with Disney Star Wars" is a lot bigger than KK would like to admit to. Now, what's their excuse for not giving the fans SW shows that are made by real writers, directors and fans of George Lucas' original vision. They say they're going after new fans but now they've lost almost all of their fans, good job!!
Sorry I lost all money!!! Because of the racists 🤣
Andor season 2 is the only thing worth waiting for…
When all this settles, I want a figure. I wanna know just how much they lost
All of the Black Series figs have been sitting on shelves for weeks in my area. Maybe they’ll be collectors items due to this cancellation but they’re not moving as of now.
As usual Feminist destroying Star Wars.
They destroy a lot of things 😂
non stop content.Love it !!!!
So wait, did they not use The Volume to film this show? Wasn't the whole point of The Volume to cut down on set production costs by creating virtual sets that were simply augmented by minor practical additions?
Let it burn! This is one reason i'm happy Stargate is on hiatus, hopefully by the time it comes back there will be real story tellers back in positions of power.
Im confused. Lesley headland was in the hot seat for season 2 expenditures but not for the s##t show season 1 was ? 😮
Dissney Star Woke is a true iconic living & breathing phrase of "GetWokeGoBroke"
Disney must realize folks do not want to see WOKE entertainment and Disney does not
have to participate as much as they have with these Diversity, equity, Inclusion issues.
Disney already has shown enough Entertainment shows to prove they have addressed
these issues. now it's time for Disney to produce non WOKE material people want to see.
AT 7.57 CORRECTION ought to be "I could NOT care less". Means you have no cares left to give. Not, "I could care less", since that means you do care, and you could care less than your current level.
Yoda ...knew about Osha... STOP!!! it's just so wrong.
The thing that is Disrespectful, Distressing is the Lack of Homage to Joseph Campbell's work to our collective human experience of story telling. Lucas knew in the early days now it is just painting by forced nostalgic numbers leading to fake heros
