Personally, I don't have an issue with cancelling shows that are expensive and not enough of a draw. I just wish they'd commit to wrapping up shows or creating seasons that are more standalone. The Acolyte is an incomplete Star Wars story and that will diminish its' value to the service long...

It's not a defense per se, it's just pointing out that "Disney left money on the table by not releasing more movies" is a simplistic way of looking at it. Letting demand build up resulted in at least two movies that likely made waaay more than they would have if Star Wars product had been...

We also have to consider the amount of time Star Wars was basically dormant under Lucas. Pent up demand is a big reason Phantom Menace and Force Awakens hit like they did. Now that Star Wars content is being released frequently, it's unrealistic to expect those extreme highs. Lucas released 3...

It was bigger, at least for me, when physical media was more popular. I'd always redeem the digital movie code that came with disks, and collect the points at the same time. Now I get a few points every month from my Disney+ subscription but that's all. I did get some decent pieces of merch...

At least we get a free digital key? Call me out of touch but I cannot imagine how this is useful.

Details on the new movie: the basic plot and where it fits in time wise after the previous movie. https://www.ign.com/articles/jurassic-world-rebirth-title-confirmed-alongside-host-of-plot-details-set-five-years-after-dominion

I tried that. No one used it.

I'm pretty sure most people acknowledge that The Force Awakens rehashes a lot of what came before. I still like it as the security blanket of Star Wars. It feels comforting after the CGI heavy prequels. And then disregarded the answers to those mysteries he set up. Rian was correct that there...

The idea that Lucas had a plan for the entire original trilogy doesn't really hold water when the best he could come up with was doing the Death Star again. The Luke/Leia revelation also felt more like meeting a newfound expectation that the movies have a big twist moment.

Well, that's an oddly binary way to misrepresent my comment. I said she shouldn't take 100% of the blame and likewise should also share praise when warranted. Filmmaking is after all a collaborative process. She gets credit for bringing in Favreau who did a good job with the Mandalorian, and he...

This is important to note, and something I said earlier. Disney is not necessarily going to take an approach that results in the best product, they want a steady stream of Star Wars content. Kennedy cannot take all the blame for anyone's dislike of various installments. I believe they were...

People take young children to Disney parks all the time. It's obviously more of a hassle than a "normal" visit. It just comes down to personal views - is getting the photo of the baby with Mickey or in front of the castle worth it? As far as physical health and vaccines and what not, that's...

KK could retire 10 years from now and people will be screaming "I told you so!".

Pretty good for a relatively low budget film that was meant to go straight to streaming originally.

They could close prior to an election period. They could re-open as expected next year, and say at the time that this is the last update. Before we know who the next inductee will be.

"Heart" is kind of a weird or vague criteria to me, in terms of a decision to connect a character(s) to Disney parks, which are generally geared to all ages. Deadpool is extremely violent and has a lot of adult language. The character is arguably inappropriate for a Disney theme park. I don't...

Deadpool wasn't part of the MCU until a month ago, so anything is possible. The Simpsons wasn't really something that screamed Disney either, but they have incorporated it including doing Star Wars themed cartoons for streaming.

Rumours or suggestions to de-canonize things generally come from people who think that something they didn't like should just magically be erased. If they applied this approach to Star Wars we'd be left with two movies. Regardless, there's no reason to de-canonize this series that I can think...

Agree, but I would note that Deadpool has a presence in the parks now and is flirting with adult humour.

What do people expect to happen when Kennedy leaves? Star Wars will never be run like it was under Lucas. He was happy to sit and wait to make new content, only doing so when the technology was at a point he felt he could realize his vision of the prequels. The building up of demand that made...
