How about for every contract renewal extension Kennedy had the fandom menace takes a decade off?

Curious how big do think this fandom is?

Curious how big do think this fandom is?

I think the Star Wars fandom remains huge. I think the toxic "fandom Menace" is small. But that small group has tremendous sway over narrative. No matter how huge a fandom is, it pales before the general public. The general public/ casual fans want in on anything with a bit of buzz around it. They want to be part of the conversation. To be included with whatever's in at the moment. And they will avoid anything seen as unpopular or problematic. That's the scourge of the algorithms and the building of narratives. Star Wars isn't the only one. These are often targeted attacks on not only businesses, but brands seen with both global reach and global influence.

Does he understand Star Wars? Because whoever has been green lighting Star Wars movies since Disney took over sure didn’t. And this is coming from a person who was at the first day matinee of Star Wars at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood in 1977.

Does who understand Star Wars?

Filoni? Not as much as he thinks

Disney doesn’t and never has any intention to…they believe they can sell whatever based on the reputation they no longer have. That people fall for labels more than the emotion of the content

They couldn’t be bothered to figure it out first. And crashed and burned. 1:1

Go figure you’re naive

It WAS Huge…because if was the trailblazer modern franchise…

With each failure…it loses pull. The passage of time doesn’t help that either…natural shift away…

The dumbest thing out there is vitriol on a personal level towards those involved in bad Star Wars…it’s just their job…don’t act like an animal anonymously.

The second dumbest thing is that what been done is actually “good” and the cabal of 5 dudes has overpowered it with a fanbase in the hundreds of millions and more. That’s equally stupid and fake because nobody who says it actually believes it.
