Henry Cavill said it best: "When it comes to fans, it is a fan's right to have whatever opinion they want to have. People are going to be upset especially when you're talking about books or games because you're never going to be the exact person they had in their head or who they played in Witcher 3 for example. I don't necessarily consider that toxic, I just consider that passionate." Even when people were complaining about the show and its changes, Henry Cavill never once insulted the fans or berated them for it. There's a reason fans hold him in such high regard even if they don't necessarily like his projects. He understands fandom and just wants to tell the best story possible and express as much as he can with the characters. Disney seems to want full adulation and a pat on the back for doing the barest of minimums and they can't even do that right.

@@naverz08 - Star Wars is a far bigger fan base too. I don’t remember GoT/HBO people being as hostile to their fans as Disney has been since they took over the franchise. They just released a crap product at the end - especially the final season. House of the Dragon was pretty good but I haven’t seen the new season yet and people seem to like and enjoy it. If you release good material people will watch. If you don’t, then they won’t. If you insult your customers and tell them it isn’t for them, people will move on to other things. If I went to a restaurant and they insulted me and brought me the wrong food and told me the steak isn’t for me and I get a tofu salad, I wouldn’t pay for it and I would never go back. I especially wouldn’t even enter the establishment if they had a giant sign on their door that said straight white men cannot eat here and this food is not for you. I’ll take my business elsewhere.

I introduced my now 28yr son, we even went to the prequels together this year to celebrate that. Now Disney tell us we are am not their preferred audience; we should not have an opinion; we should both just shut up and love it. I don’t love it and I am no longer financing your disdain Disney. Now lets breakout the blurays - thankfully I grabbed those when Disney told me they couldn’t be bothered making them for their Australian customers anymore (apparently countries outside America is also on their hit list).

Came here from Tyrone Magnus. Preach on Sister. I'm in my 40s now. My mother got me into Star Wars as a kid, home recording off of tv so I could watch those VHS tapes they almost fell apart. Breaking i don't know how many speed rewinders because I watched these films on repeat. My mother god rest her soul. Appreciated these films, but she loved that I loved them. I can still remember sitting on the wood floor head up watching the tv Listening to Master Yoda talk to Luke, and giggling every time Yoda Made a joke, or laughed. I loved the Original Films, and I adore the Prequels, because I love the Jedi. And the Prequels gave me more lore, story, and world building for the Jedi, and the Sith. To me that is Star Wars. The Jedi and the Sith. Good vs Black. In a black and white setting because that is how George Lucas setup his story. This isn't GoT. It is Science Fantasy. In Fantasy, its Good vs Evil, no agendas, no narratives to push. Just a hero's journey, the dark times, and the struggle to lead to a well earned Triumphant End. We don't need woke, because George Lucas gave us a great story, with diversity, and well written characters, and in essence was "woke" before that was ever even a thing. Stop trying to put your stamp on things and give us what we, the people that line your pockets want, or like Snark Jay said. One day I too might be one of those people cheering when this IP that I love so much, fails.

Same with me. I'm a 35 year old female, and it was my mom who showed me and my little brother at ages 8 & 6 Star Wars on VHS. Then she brought us to see The Phantom Menace in theaters. I even dressed as Princess Leia for Halloween and my brother Darth Vader. My only complaint about George Lucas Star Wars is that awkward kiss between Luke & Leia. My mom has passed in 2015 before The Force Awakens came out, and she would not have anything good to say about it.

Disney won’t turn this ship around, because they don’t care what damage they do to the “Star Wars“ brand. It is nothing more to them than a vehicle with a built-in, good reputation and popularity, which they intend to milk until they destroy it completely, in order to push forward, their twisted, perverted, explicitly sexist, woke racist, blatantly misandristic sociopolitical/sociosexual identity politics agenda, and narrative. They will ring every last bit of utility out of the franchise as a medium for attempting to shove their elite, extremist propaganda down the throats of as many people as they possibly can. And because so many people vehemently object, and when their actions result in massive negative criticism and tsunami-size negative backlash, they will cloak themselves in eternal victim, hood, and oppression, and attack the fans/the audience, blaming the failure that was caused by their own incompetence, on the people that they expected to watch it, and to pay obeisance to “The Message”, but didn’t.

I’m sixty one now. In May 1977 I was thirteen. I was already a fan of scifi like Star Trek, Space:1999, 2001, Logan’s Run, Planet of the Apes, Westworld (1973), Silent Running and so on. We watched ALL of these films and TV shows religiously. When it was released, It was as though Star Wars was made for me. I’m an old white guy but I have loved and given to, and supported this franchise since day one. In 1980 my Mom had a broken ankle, we STILL went to the cinema to watch The Empire Strikes Back and she was on crutches. In 1983 I worked an all night shift, went home, changed clothes and drove to the theater, got in line for three hours to see Return of the Jedi opening day on no sleep. 1999, my daughter was a tiny baby and we got a sitter to go see Phantom Menace opening weekend. These films had a history with me and my family. These are valuable memories to me. Now…I don’t care what they do. I guess I’m just part of the TOXIC fan base. The ones that do not matter to Kathleen Kennedy and her minions. They have destroyed Star Wars for me and that is a real shame.

Almost the exact same story here... Love Sci-fi and still read up to 70 Sci-fi books alone each year.... that has become my refuge because the turds behind the debacle of Star Wars, CANNOT touch my books to ruin them like they have shat upon everything else. There is no punishment too severe, no apology too profuse to save them anymore. *My* Star Wars ended with Rogue One and possibly Solo. I was physically sick during the Eighth film and will not and have not seen the last one or any of the other shows. I don't care what Di$nay does anymore, their entire Brand has become thoroughly toxic and even the strongest disinfectants or cleaners cannot remove the taint that has imbued all of Di$nay.

I don't think the younger generations understand just how significant Star Wars was. It literally changed the world. I personally saw it EIGHT TIMES during its initial release. The first time I had to stand in line with my parents for 12 hours to get in. The 5th time probably took 4-5 hours. The 8th was more like 1-2 hours and this was MONTHS after it had been released. Yes like 3-4 months after opening it was still impossible to get in without standing in line. The lines, particularly for the first couple months, wrapped around the movie theaters multiple times forming rings of people waiting just to buy tickets. It was insane. And EVERYONE was doing it, it wasn't just nerds & geeks standing in those lines because everyone wanted to see it. When Star Wars first came out there weren't actually many movie theaters and almost all of them were single screen theaters (maybe a few double screens). Its directly because of Star Wars that multi-plex theaters were born! Between Star Wars and Empire there was a massive effort to build more theaters. When Empire rolled out it opened in new, small (3-5 screen) multi-plexes. My first viewing of Empire still required standing in line 3 hours. The fans are very serious about Star Wars. Particularly the old-school ones, it takes dedication to stand in line 8+ hours to see a movie and then repeat that multiple times. I remember a friend who literally had converted his entire garage into building and storing Star Wars related things (he had a 6 foot diameter Millennium Falcon hanging in the middle). And this was a guy that people would not consider a nerd/geek - he just loved SW that much. And never once was there anything toxic and unfriendly. Even after standing in line for hours in the hot sun people were still friendly. Star Wars fans were united in their love of the franchise. If you loved SW it didn't matter who you were or what you did otherwise. These are the people these idiotic, clueless interlopers are calling "toxic fans". They should really take a look in the mirror because all this toxicity they keep talking about - its just projection. They are the ones what are toxic and divisive. Not only are they destroying the IP but they are literally making EVERYTHING they touch worse with no actual benefit. How they still have jobs is truly beyond comprehension.

You're quite right. I don't think I can adequately explain to anyone who didn't see Star Wars in the theater in 1977 just how game-changing it was. Not only had there not been any science fiction movies with the same level of action, but consumer technology at the time was comparatively primitive - most electronics you'd find in an American home were simply updated versions of things from the '50s. So to have such an exciting glimpse into the future - even though it was "a long time ago" - was groundbreaking. Star Wars was a cultural watershed moment . . . now, it's nothing more than just another category on D+.

I almost never comment on youtube videos, but this video struck me in my core. I have such fond memories of going to the special edition movies and later the prequels. I saw each at least five times on release. For the opening of phantom menace my friends and I waited in line overnight. We developed a system so we could all keep our places in line. We became the “rebel response team” and everyone in line was given a badge so that they could leave to get food and come back, their spot saved. We all became friends during these events. ALL of us, male, female, black, white, gay, straight. It did not matter, because we were all of us rebels responding. Star Wars for me, is ruined. Thank you Kathleen Kennedy for invalidating my hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars spent on this franchise over the years. I deeply resent the implication that my age, sexuality, and gender somehow makes me less of a fan, because Star Wars has ALWAYS been about making friends, making memories, and all of us, being included. Disney has missed the mark again and again. I’m done. They have killed it. It’s dead. They hate me. I’m out!

Man, I feel for you. But fear not. At some point, the damage will be so irreparable that Disney, in one of their episodic shakeups (let's say, when Bob Iger has to retire, in a year or 2, and new guy is coming in), one of the first thing they'll do is either to boot Kathleen out for all her crimes against humanity, or to sell Lucasfilm (for a pittance of what they bought it) to another studio with someone at the head of it who's actually a Star Wars fan (I can't imagine they're rare, we just fell on THE ONE person who wanted to actively tank it to the ground), and actually steer it into a better direction. Sure, the damage will have been done by then, the core trio will be done and dusted, but who knows ? I've already seen some REALLY promising episodes of what Star Wars COULD be from anthologies like the animated series of shorts Visions (seriously, there are some episodes in there that felt like pilot episodes of their own shows ! THIS is what happens when you trust smaller but passionate and talented studios who grew up with the franchise and understood the assignment and took their limited time to play with the franchise as THE mission of their career ! Unlike the current hacks at Disney/Lucasfilm itself, they certainly didn't take it for granted, and godammit, IT SHOWED !), and Mandalorian (at least season 1 and parts of 2) and especially Andor showed us that there are so many more stories that could be told in this universe. It might still take a few years, and a lot of outlandish conditions need to be met first, but I'm optimistic that the magic in the Galaxy far away can still be rekindled.

After it was over they said Darth Vader was going to be live in studio the next day and we could come and meet him. I ran and begged my parents to take me. They did and to this day I still remember it like it was yester day. I walked up to him in in fear and aww. He picked me up and said " You will make a fine Storm Trooper one day." Best day of my life. Those are the type memories that made this franchise special. They are ruining it for our kids to have those type memories. That's why were mad. In hind sight though Vader was kind of right cause I did eventually join the Army guess he was my first recruiter🙂.

The fact that the Acolyte gets such low audience score is just proof that even after so many years of Disney attacking both the franchise and the fan base, that the fans still love and haven’t given up hope on Star Wars. The fans are screaming,yelling, and begging Disney to STOP killing Star Wars with a slow and painful death. It is only a matter of time when the fans will say, “enough is enough” and put down Star Wars for good. What made me really angry was when KK said, “the fans don’t own Star Wars.” Which just confirms my belief that KK doesn’t know how the real world works. When I was growing up my father taught me a little thing known as “money talks”. He thought me that a company my own the rights to a movie, show, game, or other products, but the consumer is the true owner. If the consumer does not like what the company is doing, the consumer will not spend money. But if the love what is being done, the will spend money on the product and even things attached to said project. In this case the money is talking, but Disney is not listening. This all comes down to this ancient idea that was highly valued back in the day, but it’s almost extinct today. Personal Responsibility. Disney would blame others, angry white males, for their failures, instead of taking personal responsibility. If Disney could just take personal responsibility and be like, “Yeah we made garbage, so what can we do to make this right or even better?” That day, sadly, is never coming.

Disney won't change... and I wouldn't be surprised if they hold onto the franchise even after it's date of expiry like a bitter ex in a divorce battle just to screw over the fans.

To use a pizza restaurant analogy: Way back, Giorgio Lucasio created Rebel Pizza and for decades appealed to customers far and wide. The customers would go out of their way to recommend it to all their friends and family. They left 5 star reviews on Yelp. The day came when Giorgio wanted to retire, so he sold the restaurant to an ownership group that pledged to continue making great pizzas. Over time, the customers noticed the pizzas weren't as great as they had been when Giorgio ran the shop. The customers had truly had enough when the pizzas they ordered turned out to be English breakfast: Beans on toast. The Rebel Pizza managers insisted it was still pizza. So the unhappy customers did what they could: They spoke out and left unflattering reviews. "Beans on toast isn't pizza".Then went shopping for pizza elsewhere.

But a lot stayed seeing where they were gonna take the story with Luke and Rey. We got our answer with TLJ and its been a dumpster fire since. Kathleen Kennedy AND Dave Filoni are to blame along with EVERYONE else working at Disney Lucasfilm for the failure of George Lucas's Star Wars legacy.

My dad introduced me to SW when I was only 5 years old, and I fell in love with it. Reading books and comics as well as playing every video game possible. Watching the movies with him was such a great bonding experience and now as an adult I almost feel embarrassed watching SW with him. I can see how upset he gets with the movies and shows and I feel the same way. Disney has killed SW for me and the only good memory I have of it is before Disney got involved

Something very similar is happening with videogames. Someone at BlackGirlGamers tweeted something like “Hey cis white guys! This isn’t about you and your values!” i replied basically “actually, it kind of is. To us, videogames are a hobby. To you, videogames are bread and butter. If we decided to move on to card games or something, you’re f***ed” A lot of those people have a weird obsession with white men, even though almost all the most classic videogames are Japanese.

The fact that Star Wars has not been able to course correct since TLJ backlash shows either 1) gross incompetence which means everyone involved (save for Favreau since Disney sabotaged him) should be fired or 2) an unwillingness to course correct because the plan is do exactly what they're doing. Either way, the shareholders have lost billions in value because of the approach taken by Disney, and there needs to be a reckoning.

I have been a Star Wars fan for a very long time, and it's a shame to see how bad it has gotten. But it's worst to have Disney believe that only white males' (like my-self) specifically are the only one's complaining. So, thank you for this letter you are sending, to show Disney that it's not just white males, but all genders, races, ages, and so forth. And thank you for taking the time to be my voice in all of this. You are awesome, don't let anyone say different.

The people in charge don't understand or respect the passion of the fans. The 'negative' response en masse is because so many people care. They should appreciate and LISTEN to the feedback so they can educate themselves about WHY people want to buy or not buy your product.

It's funny they keep calling us racist. Last time I checked, it wasn't the fans who shrunk Jon boyega's picture and covered Chadwick boseman's face on the Chinese posters. Or the fans hiring non white skinned ppl, to use as a shield against legit criticisms. And it wasn't fans who decided to name an Asian character Sol, as in Seoul Korea. I know it's spelled differently, however when you say Sol it sounds like Seoul. My point is they didn't have to name Lee Jung-jae's character Sol. That was a conscience choice.

I had a friend that loved Star Wars in and out. He was a true fanatic. He had figurines, he had the lightsabers. He would watch the movies over and over. When we lived in Dallas, I went I think 3 times to see the first prequel with him. Sadly he passed about 8 years ago. I was devastated. Every time I'd see new movies and TV shows come out, I'd think of him and wish he could have seen the revival of Star Wars. Sadly, as more and more of these gatekeeping attempts to pander one's agenda, I am saddened and am glad he didn't see the travesty that would befall his treasured love. Thank you for your passionate video about this fanbase. I truly wish the folks at Disney could see this and take it to heart, but sadly it would fall on deaf ears as it does not fall in line with their narrative and beliefs. But thank you for speaking on it. This was superb.

Im 27, seeing my favorite franchises be constantly destroyed by disney among others, has completely inspired me to write my own sci-fi books, and to even become a game developer and slowly build my way up to make games for it. I've been working on the lore 7 years now and just officially started writing the first words just a few weeks ago. It definitely wont appeal to everybody, but mankind discovered space flight in the medieval times and it has vastly changed the technological progression for all in the setting. It doesnt take place on earth, it has dozens upon dozens of alien races. Man and most races are still using feudal forms of goverment and have nobility deep-rooted in their societal cores. Blending medieval weaponry with sci-fi fantasy. Guns are a scarcity and havent been developed much past simple flintlocks for most space faring nations. I know it won't ever get anywhere close to starwars levels of excitement or attention, but I will try. All of this is out of spite for Kathleen Kennedy and the sabotagers at Disney. I'm not even alone in this, many have joined me in my efforts and there's hundreds if not thousands doing the same thing I'm doing too. If anything, Disney has taught me that spite might just be the most powerful emotion a human can feel. Sad thing is we all saw this coming, when "episode 7" came out. We told everyone it would go the way its going now. I just hope something can be done to save what we were once called weirdos and nerds for. I remember being bullied for liking starwars, can we bring that back? I prefer that over what we got going on now. Great video, I made sure to like and subscribe. Its not much but if a large majority do it then maybe Kathleen can see it herself.

I liked SW7... SW8 was where things started going horribly wrong... story terribly stupid and pointless in several ways, Luke ruined (doesn't care, got depressed, etc.), and running out of space gas... no inertia in space?... so let's go off on a side-quest, but don't use hyperspeed unless you're going to aim at a badguy ship, but that was a one in a million chance (????!!!)... stupid.
