People are desperate to buy products online and it’s not cutting it.

I just literally want a freaking pin. It's hilariously sad.

Luckily I bought the Epcot France poster before all the Star Wars stuff went live.

I also heard there was an Obi Wan series with Ewan coming out soon and Colin Trevorrow was directing Episode IX. This all fall under: when it happens, then we can take it seriously. Just because they are developing something doesn't mean it actually happens.

One of my least popular of unpopular opinions is I hate ragnarok. Probably my least favorite MCU movies.

Wow, yeah. I think Ragnarok may be the BEST MCU movie.

But I also think the Marvel movies work much better when comedy is a significant part of the film. Infinity War and Endgame were excellent, as was the first Iron Man. The Captain America movies are all pretty good. Other than that, though, I think the two Ant-Mans, the two Guardians, and Ragnarok are the cream of the crop for the MCU. Almost all of the other movies are in a kind of amorphous blob of okayness for me -- some are certainly better than others, but they're all stuff I watched once and don't really have any interest in watching again.

I have always been a huge fan of her and the entire Clone Wars series. Her scenes in Rebels are also great, which is even more impressive considering how disappointing I thought the show was. If the rumors are true about her being in the Mandalorian, I would love to see a movie/show showing what she was doing during Episodes 4-6 to give a complete linear timeline.

I think Disney's best bet is to pause on any Star Wars material taking place during or after the sequel trilogy. Win back the fans by filling timeline gaps with great mini-adventures (The Mandalorian is a fantastic example, the proposed Obi-Wan show would do the same). There is a ton of non-Canon material that can be used for inspiration, similarly to Marvel picking and choosing which comic book material to adapt for the MCU. Just to throw some ideas out there... something set in the ten years between Episodes 1 and 2, a thriller film following one of the Jedi on the run in the years following Order 66, etc.

Deleting swaths of tweets is never a good look, but having bad tweets is also not a good look. Lesson is not to be stupid.

Uh huh. Or maybe the issue is that Iger pretended that the firing of Roseanne was based on "standards", yet he had no trouble hiring and rehiring a man who posted many-multiple tweets about the joys of pedophilia.

Just saying.

:rolleyes:

Rosanne’s tweet was hours before she got fired. James Gunn tweets were from a decade ago, and he apologized for them before being hired the first time. I’m not excusing it, but there’s a good reason he was rehired and Roseanne has not been.

Maybe the Bobs will step up and act like the RUN the company. Show Kathleen Kennedy the door and her minions.

Speaking of unfounded nerdrage rumors....

The mini-documentary on the making of The Mandalorian was pretty good. The focus was on the directors.

Who are... diverse!!

Anyhoo, lots of clips showed Kathleen Kennedy (no speaking role in the doc for this episode) on the set with everyone laughing and smiling. Well, she did Executive Produce the show with Favreau and Filoni.

The same KK who's supposed to be out the door and banned from the set.

Ok...so she’s like your aunt or something?

The “hate” on her might be over the top...granted...

But that’s a two way street sometimes too.

Star Wars would work better following the James Bond model rather than marvel. Release a new movie every 3-4 years and make it a big event with time to build excitement.

in between you can use TV and other media to keep it in people’s minds.

i think this would be a better way to build and grow over time rather than bombarding the market lead to diminishing returns as people get Star Wars fatigue

I think having the Mandalorian with tid-bits of Han, Leia, Luke and Asoka would be all you need right now to bring the fandom back and then dissolve into other characters and stories. Han, Luke and Leia part interms of if they could get the de-aging or simply cgi part to come across believable. Yes it cost a lot of money to do, especially for a tv series.

Anyone watch the gallery show?

It was great...and very enlightening as to what was going on.

You know who intentionally was no were to be found other than 4 seconds of jumping into selfies?

Interesting...indeed.

Remember the article that said there would be a Star Wars movie a year for the rest of your life? That escalated quickly
