    When they released the force awakens toys, I remember hasbro and Lucasfilm getting trashed for not having enough Rey figures in stores. They argued that action figures of female characters don’t sell, and were called misogynistic, sexist etc. After that, they went overboard in making figures of Rey, Rose Tico, Jin Erso, Holdo etc. and they didn’t sell.
    Moral of the story, Identity politics = plastic landfill.

      Women as action movie leads aren't at all a bad thing, if done right. Look at Ripley, Princess Leia, Sarah Connor, Wonder Woman, and Furiosa. The problem with characters like Captain Marvel and Rey is that they are symbols, not characters. They're flawless, good at everything, and entirely empty. Its as if studios execs said "Okay we need a female lead, but she can't have flaws or a personality because that won't sell toys and might make women look bad." Its the same problem I had with Superman in Man of Steel and BvS. He was just a symbol, a blank slate, an untouchable godlike figure. It wasn't till Justice League that gave him a personality. By that time, it was too little, too late, and in a crappy movie, to boot.

      It's not that female action figures aren't marketable it's the fact that with any action figure people need to like thr character first, male or female doesn't matter. Fact is the female starwars characters are boring and annoying. Modern female characters are just all about pushing an agenda while the older ones are pushing a story.

      The thing about Disney is their abuse of copyright law. Steamboat Willie belongs in the public domain. Disney argues it'll lose control over Mickey Mouse if it allows this, which is false. That's trademark law, which exists in perpetuity so long as a company is actively using it. Disney has always been ruthless and evil, but it was forgivable because they produced excellent content. (And thanks to the deleted comment that puts mine out of context.)

      Her Universe is owned by Ashley the girl who voiced Asoka. She wanted a line of clothes for girls to wear their favourite fandoms in a way that was hopefully spunky and nice to the eye. Ashley was standing up for the fandom and has been a big influence on young girls who have been bullied for loving something fictional. I dislike a SJW on the best of days. But, Her Universe was created to give young girls the confidence to wear loud and be proud. It is no way feminist shop in any way.

      - Collection 1 (figures with action gimmicks): Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, General Grievous, Yoda, Mace Windu, Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, Clone Commander, Clone Trooper, Grievous' Bodyguard, Destroyer Droid, Wookiee Warrior, AT-RT Driver...
      - Collection 2 (figures with more articulation): Count Dooku, Plo Koon, Luminara Unduli, Kit Fisto, Aayla Secura, Shaak Ti, Padmé Amidala, Bail Organa, Clone Pilot, Battle Droid...
      - Vehicles: Anakin's Jedi Starfighter, Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter, ARC-170 Fighter, Droid Tri-Fighter, Grievous' Wheelbike, BARC Speeder.

      If this is your measure of 'how the mighty have fallen' then they already fell nearly 2 decades ago in 1999. The sheer amount of revisionism and denial flying around just because some people didn't enjoy The Last Jedi is laughable.

Years later George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney and I couldn't blame him since he had to endure decades of criticism. Sadly Disney sucked out the spirit of Star Wars and now here we are.

      Kyber Cat that sounds nice but the Jedi and the Sith is Star Wars. All those you mention were great characters but the way SW is going, do you really want them to to touch the E.U anymore? Plus Rian "Round head" Johnson said he would be creating a whole new universe.

    • @kybercat7
      @kybercat7 6 років тому +1

      I think you misunderstand, I said DOWNPLAYING, not removing entirely. its impossible to do star wars without them but story's that are not centered on them and still be some of the best star wars story's. What i would really love is a story centered on some on the minor force users like a grey Jedi or a dathomir witch, but with the way disney is going i'm never going to get anything good and yes now that i have seen the movies i dont want them ruining any of the good post ep 6 characters

    • @davidhervey691

      Kyber Cat I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I totally agree about the minor force users as well.

    • @kybercat7
      @kybercat7 6 років тому +1

      I JUST HAD A IDEA ABOUT A POST EP 6 MINOR FORCE USER STORY! keep in mind that this is just a rough outline.
      If Disney wants a female main character than a witch is perfect, they have to be female! But she would be the polar opposite of Rey. Ray is very bland, plain and unremarkable. Our nightsister would be tall, pale and with dark tasteful makeup. Unlike Rey she would have a good reason to be a combat powerhouse as they are trained in the art of war 24/7
      (note that unlike Rey our main character is no mary sue as she is a crap pilot).
      (17 mins run time) Our story opens on a hunting trip as a group of nightsisters try to hunt down one of one of Dathomir's native Rancors. On this trip the audience is exposed to the nightsisters as dark side users and the reverence all witches have for nature. I will probley give our main character some small cute yet deadly native pet to replace the droid companions in most of star wars. Right before they capture the rancor two forces are seen fighting in the distance and a stun grenade misses and hit our heroine (lets call her Lilith)
      (13 mins run time) When she wakes up its relieved that the two forces where a group of space pirates (who are here for for the illegal rancor too) and the local imperial remnants orbital garrison. Lilith was captured by the pirates but her sisters are in the hands of the remnant.the space pirate offers her a pace in the crew. She reduces and challenges the captain for leadership. (dark side user) she gets her ass kicked but because of her fighting spirit shes given command over a squad of pirates who will become our other main characters (i will work out there story lines another time.)
      (40 min run time) Over time she raids many freighters and learns to work with her team in hijacking them. she gets first pick of the loot and keeps gathering components making what looks like a light saber. In this act a local remnant patrol ship captain keeps trying to hunt her down. His small fast is a lot more nimble than a star destroyer and makes for some good mid movie space combat. This part climaxes with the main pirate ship fighting another in a dispute over hunting ground. a large boarding action/space battle ensues. when the action is over the captain awards the captured ship to Lilith. (even though its half dead)
      (15 min) Two of the other space pirates finally kiss after flirting in the other act. Lilith sees this and says "perhaps there is more to life than war" a very NOT dark side thing to do. its reviled by a smuggler that the garrison on Dathomir is preparing transfer some prisoners on a new experimental ship. If she can capture it she can add to her fleet, get the crew to properly use it and rescue her sisters
      (60 mins) Lilith can't take the cruiser head on but her ship is so heavily damaged that she just powers down and pretends to be a piece of floating junk. This allows her to get close enough to board the outside of the ship. The team then uses a swarm of boring droids to disable the comms and vent the hangar taking a good portion of the crew out into space. The pirate team then proceeds to make its way to the bridge with the stormtroopers proving to be little more than a annoyance. Once on the bridge the remnant officer has assembled a force to stop the invasion including some mk1 dark troopers and heavy equipment. After a long fight it looks like the pirates will win but the remnant officer has the make lover in his sights and blasts his arm clean off with three laser blasts. The rage from seeing her friend is enough for Lilith to unleash her first blast of force lightning reducing him to a charred husk. It's unclear if the male lover will live.
      Once free her sisters offer her a place in the coven even one older member not on the hunt offering her status as a full witch, not just a trainee. She refuses as her new life is better with no matriarch to rule over her.
      (5 min) a few days later a new republic cruiser drops out from hyperspace it coms Lilith's new ship. On the screen is a well groomed young man “this is jacen solo jedi knight and apprentice of luke skywalker. To the commander of the imperial ship, this is your one chance to surrender”
      Lilith responds by saying “Im sorry but this world is no longer under imperial control. I hope you don’t intend to fight us as well because”- instead of world she simply switches on the light-weapon she's been working on most of the movie. Its a long thin light whip weapon glowing a soft red as it dances over the deckplate.
      EAT THAT DISNEY! You have hordes of writers, i'm just a random chick with a hour to spare!

      You are suggesting that manufacturers where kinda pushing retailers to stock x number of units for y number of products in order to be able to "stock" the brand, right?
      Kinda makes sense, looking at some of the particular items that seem totally ignored by consumers, like these aforementioned rideables, along with the General Sucks and Rose Dick-O figures, which seem omnipresent all over the store.
      No purchase agent would order for stocking so many items of a product that has a bad sales tracking.

      @shadowcat1606 5 років тому

      Okay, so, out of sheer curiosity - allthough i'm afraid i allready know the answer - just for a moment, let's pretend that Disney takes over Star Wars and keeps the Legends canon intact. What then ? how should they have gone forward ? Make movies about stories, comics and games we allready know ?

    • @shadowcat1606
      @shadowcat1606 5 років тому

      @Offworlder1 only that a) they don't retell exactly the same stories and more importantly b) the MCU does not take place in the main marvel earth 616 continuity (i think they designated it Earth-1999 or some more 9s, but don't quote me on that). Now, that works for comics, because multiverses aren't exactly a new thing in comics, especially DC and Marvel. Doesn't work for Star Wars. So Disney had two options after buying the property (just as every other big corporation would have had, this is not disney-specific): Option 1) Rehash the old stories (just to then, most likely, get shit on by shithead "fans" for not telling the stories right or leaving out details or casting the wrong people or Option 2) scrap it and tell something new.
      So far, so apples and oranges.
      Now, completely disregarding whether you like the new stuff or don't, scraping the old EU was the right thing from a creator's point of view. More freedom, less constrictions and limitations.

    • @shadowcat1606
      @shadowcat1606 5 років тому +3

      @Offworlder1 yes, i have allready considered that in my previous comment."adapt" aka nothing new plus the burden of thousand fanbois (or, of you please, another word starting with f and ending with bois) not getting the adaptations the way they want them or not the stories they want adapted. There's just no winning with you guys, it's loose-loose. And fyi, that's one of the reasons Lucas stopped making SW and sold it to Disney in the first place. Because so called 'fans' were impossible to satisfy.

      walkingdeadman19, I honestly half agree, half disagree with you. Getting rid of some of the EU (I.e, the dumb Operation Shadow Hand business and everything after 42 ABY, we’ll say) seems like a good idea. Promoted more freedom and all that type of stuff.
      But taking away stuff such as the Old Republic, Mara Jade, etc? It seems...wrong in a certain regard. You say that everything’s already been told in comics, but then I point to you stuff like the Great Hyperspace War and the Mandalorian Wars, which were only briefly mentioned in the KOTOR. At least to my knowledge.
      Also, don’t generalize fans like that. Come on, man.

    You couldn't find a Luke Skywalker figure or a Lightsaber after A New Hope came out they were so popular, the stores were giving promissory notes to customers entitling them to first pick of the next shipment.
    Nowadays? You'd have to force yourself to waste money on the worthless merch sitting unsold on shelves related to the Disney Star Wars movies.

    It’s really sad for me. I had so many great memories of SW as a kid and was always on the hunt for the POTF2 figures in the 90’s as well as prequel figures. Now to see it become a joke and a failure is tragic. Hold on the positive memories of Star Wars and enjoy the real saga, 1-6.

      You're right. No more generations of SW kids like us. The morality play is 1-6 that raised us to look towards the sunset and dream of traveling the stars, saving the Princess, and retiring on Yavin IV.
      Toys-R-Us is bankrupt and gone along with any interest in the franchise. Idiots bought it and made it idiocy. I am at least glad that Mr. Lucas made a killing off of the sale.
      I know he gave most if not all to charity, but he got paid for changing the universe forever. The greatest movie that was ever made, or that ever will be made. Thank you, George.

    Probably the best toys for a boy came out during the Prequels.
    I'm so god damn sad for the kids now... I am now 33 years old and as a kid I grew-up in a world of magic. Started with the ATARI and it Ended with the first Xbox (with Halo) What a journey that was. And the Toys that were inspired by Greatness in between then and there... just as good. I have a Niece and each time I see her I can't help but feel an overwhelming sadness. The Magic is gone.

    He will play with male figures, space ship toys and robots. No amount of coaxing would make him accept that toy, so much so that she's now just kept it for herself in the hope it might gain some value as a collectable.

Now who do they have? Rose, Rey, Kylo Ren, Finn, Poe, and Luke In Name Only. And all those landspeeders... dear god you could probably make a building out of those as well as the unsold and unwanted blade builders. So sad.

    I'm old and I actually remember being 6 years old and seeing Star Wars - the original mind you, in the theaters. It literally was in the theater for almost A YEAR. At the time it was just that popular and nobody on the merchandising end was ready for it. I actually remember it being difficult to find action figures and things and these were in *demand*. You had the standard line up of plastic characters, an X-wing, Tie fighter, Death star and Millenium falcon playsets and a blaster that D batteries. I think they had a land speeder later. All the extra crap like nerf guns and other nonsense didn't come out until Return of the Jedi. Can you imagine actual bare shelves where Star Wars stuff should be? I remember making my mother buy Wonder Bread (which I hated but ate anyway) because they put a loose Star Wars trading card in the bread bag. You could see it through the white lattice design on the plastic bread bag. That was my first Star Wars merch... Now? Can we please kill this already? If we sacrifice Return of the Jedi can all the other movies and merchandise save for the original and Empire strikes back please go away?

When they did arrive my heart almost stopped. I think I went to bed clutching the vinyl case they came in. Fast forward 30 plus years and my kids could take it or leave it. Side note.

      The Green Ranger toy was part of the Power Rangers Legacy toy line. Which came out fairly recently.

      Does that mean Han Solo is in hell rather than The Force Heaven? After all, he is a 'nerf herder'...

      I'd rather buy a Nerf gun than anything SW related.

    • @burntvirtue

      557deadpool But the reason those nerf guns are being mentioned is specifically because they're Star Wars related.

      Adan Lopez yep, mine too. I counted roughly 40 of the land speeders, now priced at $100, opposed to the standard $599. Still not selling.
      The boxes are tagged in a serial fashion denoting it's number in the production run. There's probably a way to use that with the remaining stock to figure out the total actual sales.

      Those Luke’s landspeeder are pretty cool for little kids, just need to scrape off the Disney label.

      I've seen SW toys in dollar stores beginning a few years ago and they always seem to be there. It's the weirdest thing.

    30 years from now, they'll do a documentary where they're digging through a landfill and finding all this worthless, unwanted junk. Just like in that E.T. video game documentary.

    Everything's Rey, Jyn, and Rose. What happened to Darth Maul, General Grievous, and all the actual cool characters that people wanted because they were actually awesome. Everything's much less interesting than it was last decade.

      I'm actually not a huge star wars fan. I haven't watched any of the movies with the exception of the original six and Episode 7. As for the death threats and racist remarks, I really don't care what happens to anyone in Hollywood.

    I used to work for a store with a home decor section and one thing I will always remember is that Disney sales reps HATED any Disney wallpaper/wall accents being put on clearance. Disney has always had a rule that none of their merch should *ever* be discounted at any stores, so this must really stick in their craw.
