Genndy understands how to put action sequences together, tell a story, get us to care about the characters and he is clearly well steeped in the canon of classic sci fi and fantasy films.

this Rey movie WILL go into production in May. how do I know? this is the same playbook as current Marvel movies. shit out a script in a week, shoot it, test screen it, realize it's shit and an expensive problem, spend millions more tweaking it, burn too much money to walk away and throw the movie away, panic sweat as they realize they need to release it, desperately market it as if this movie will save your marriage, listen to youtubers mock the hell out of its trailer, drop the turd on the big screen, and boom! it's done. the explosive diarrhea is unceremoniously flushed down the toilet alongside a terrible terrible box office performance. if this movie doesn't follow that formula, I will be surprised.

[@Puzzoozoo]

[@macmcleod1188]

I still don't think Captain Marvel was successful. The net gross profit ratio in the financials for that quarter didn't show the result of a billion dollar movie I think they spend a lot of promotional money buying their own tickets because Captain Marvel could not fail or else in-game would have been impacted. Contemporaneously we also had many reports of theaters with tickets sold out on the front and side rows and 10 of thousands of tickets given out to girls organizations. It was also at that time that Disney was caught treating giveaway items at the theme parks as sold at full price. And the final nail in the coffin for me is the fact it took so long before they made a sequel. If that had been a billion-dollar profitable picture they would have gotten out a sequel much sooner.

[@Mereologist]

It's that last point that is the most damning, I think. Look how fast they rushed out all the Star Wars films. If Catpain Marvel really was the super-duper successful GIRLBOSS leader they claimed they wanted, not only would they have used the cut of 'Endgame' where she was the most featured character, but they would have launched her sequel right away to lead the next phase - LIKE THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO. Instead, they delayed and delayed for years and years and then demoted her in her sequel even when they released it. From BREEE's own angsty public interviews it was clear SHE knew that her character was unwanted and not super-successful. All the evidence points straight to Disney knowing that 'Catpain Marvel' was an embarrassing failure. Numbers can be fixed and Disney has been caught fixing them over and over, and Disney sponsored MANY campaigns when 'Catpain Marvel' launched to give away as many tickets as possible to boost numbers.

[@davidgantenbein9362]

Captain Marvel only crossed a billion thanks to China box office (which is way less percents to the studio than other countries) and that’s despite it being connected heavily to Endgame. I think based on circumstances it didn’t do well, just compare it to Black Panther, which grossed above a billion without China and wasn’t sandwiched between Infinity War and Endgame. It really doesn’t need Disney financial marketing to look kind of disappointing. I personally don’t buy the idea that Disney completely faked its success as I know why I watched it back then (Infinity War and watching all MCU movies by default). But it’s possible they spent 100 millions to make sure it gets to a billion to not have bad press before Endgame, though I doubt that it would be more than that given the lucky positioning of the movie. In regard of sequels: It was released 2019, a famous 2020 event put a wrench in many things. So my guess is that Marvel had some numbers from digital sales and streaming to understand how people really liked the movie, hence The Marvels instead of simply staying on goal for a CM 2.

[@macmcleod1188]

@davidgantenbein9362 just keep in mind the first 2 weeks they were getting 90% of ticket sales. So they could buy 100 million in tickets and get back 90 million. This was a major scandal in the record industry in the 1950s and Business Insider (a mainstream business magazine) did an article on movie studios caught doing it in 2017 (maybe 2016... google it) which included buying out entire empty theaters in China.

It's more likely I think they want to see what happens with The Mandalorian movie and if does well they will want to ride on the back of it. They know a Rey trilogy by itself would bomb but should something spark an interest in Star Wars again then they will 100% push it out asap because they can't admit they are wrong.

[@insulttothehumanrace3807]

If this is happening, I'm just surprised. Considering after Rise of Skywalker, pretty much everything they put out or tried working on - aside from the LEGO specials - tried its hardest to not be in the Sequel era (just of the top of my head when typing this: High Republic [distant past], Kenboi [between Revenge and Return], Andor [same], Mandalorian [post Return, but only by a few years, not to Sequel time yet], Book of Boba Fatt [same], Ahsoka [same again]), it's a bit odd that they'd be returning to the most divisive and disliked of the time periods now.

[@Neonsilver13]

Regarding the studio not having a script for the Rey movie, they barely had an idea for the sequel trilogy and still went ahead with making it.

[@lewishand3531]

Looking at all the announced Star Wars projects that have probably been abandoned I can't help but think about the old British political concept of Masterly Inactivity. The general idea is when you announce something and it's immediately hit with immense negativity you proceed to say nothing about it. You give no updates, when people ask you about the subject you give the most nothing or reflective response possible and you generally pretend that whatever was met with negativity doesn't exist until people have completely and utterly forgotten about it. Then in a few years, or however long it takes for people to completely forget about your subject, you come out with the most under the radar press release possible to say that the thing that was met with a negative response isn't going forward. Because everyone has forgotten about the subject at this point, most people won't hear this statement , and the rest will respond with indifference. This way you avoid having to do the thing that everyone would've hated, and you also avoid the negative press you would receive from cancelling it immediately. I 100% believe that this is the exact strategy that Disney is currently using. Just watch.

[@obviouslyPSM]

The thing with Rey is that she COULD have been an interesting character. But that shipped sailed away with Palpatines child on it…somehow

[@richarddespres8011]

"Eventually people will stop listening".... Yeah, that's where I'm at. I follow your coverage for the lolz and the soap opera that is Disney these days.

[@AlmostEthical]

Not long ago Bob Iger talked about the need to focus on good stories rather than messaging. Weeks later, KK hires a red-hot feminism activist to lead a Rey Star Wars. There's a disconnect in Disney. I think Drinker's guess may be right that KK is on the way out and she's having one final jab.

[@sigor2011]

With the powers they gave Ray, she should ve able to singlehandedly save whole franchise.

There is nothing left but the bitter ashes of what was once a grand mansion😭

[@chasehedges6775]

EXACTLY. And we’re just wondering through the ruins picking up the pieces that aren’t broken or destroyed

[@garanceadrosehn9691]

One tactic might be: Have a Rey-based movie, and about 15 minutes into the movie have Rey turn to the screen and say "Is this working for you?", and then she goes into the writers' room and has them write a much better story. Maybe have her fire all the writers, and then bring in a new set of writers, and one of the new writers is the Critical Drinker! ... I think it could work.

Let's be honest here, the reason we say it's dead is because even if they give us some amazing star wars we have already checked out, they've shit the bed 10 times already we aren't ever coming back.

You'd think at this point studios could sue when someone announces a project unofficially

[@martinjohnson5498]

5:20. Sure you could start in May if you figure to reshoot 80% of it in 2025, which is now Disney’s standard practice.

[@yahyarajaee5883]

Imagine if they had listened to the fans feedback instead of doubling down on their nonsense

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

They listened, the plot of Rise of Skywalker was based on reddit threads. People wanted a romance between Rey and Kylo Ren, they wanted Rey to be related with a special bloodline to justify the plot armor, they wanted to see more of the old corpses (hence why Lando came back), etc.. the sequel trilogy is awful because they followed these internet bubbles + lack of planning, just checking fanservice boxes and doing nothing else

[@unyieldingsarcasm2505]

so they listened to the type of people who cry at trailers vs anyone with a IQ above stagnant pond temp. Thats not fan feedback, thats tourist feedback. @@RRRRRRRRR33

[@skabcat242]

You can ask any casual star wars fan and no cares for a Rey movie.

[@Gameb235]

"Who cares?" is correct. Watch and review other media. I don't care to hear about the failings of Star Wars every week.

[@xel1673]

3:56 CD: What fans are super excited for a Rey movie? Nerdrotic: Fan. It's fan. Kathleen "Palpatine" Kennedy: Oh boy oh boy. My SW self insert stand-alone movie is gonna get made.

When a KZbin channel, and the people who appear in them, just make white noise. Reminds you who really needs who.

[@stevesmith9151]

Really want Disney to keep putting out these rubbish films, more, more, more, we can bankrupt Disney this year!!!

[@DirtyJokesFan]

Making something nobody asked for and paying hundreds of millions to do so is a luxury that Disney don’t have at this point.

[@1999fxdx]

Blackrock does

[@Spicy_Spores]

It's so genuinely confusing to me why they keep doing this.

[@jtro77]

As a child of the original 3 films, I loved them. The prequels came out when i hit my twenties and my nostalgia said Nah. However, these modern additions. Fuck them. Bullshite.

[@jamesvarner7198]

Ah UUUMM your house is on fire. Them : No No everything is fine just fine

[@CMVBrielman]

If they had any sense of nuance or awareness of the older lore, Rey could have been a new version of Satele Shan. A powerful Jedi Master (who is a woman) but whose real prowess was as a mentor.

[@Vandervecken]

I want to hear about the Guillermo del Toro Jabba the Hutt movie. That might be awesome. There'd be a chance for some artistic integrity there.

[@MogoFromHell]

MauLer nearly choked me to death with that drunk dude analogy, fucking brilliant.

[@stephentsatchell3306]

I clicked on this video. Not because I'm really interested in Star Wars and a Rey movie. Because the whole situation with Disney is such a bad dumpster fire. It's like the attraction of watching a car, train, or plane crash.

[@brick6347]

I have my own tracking system: the lunchbox. When I take my kids to school, I see what lunchboxes, rucksacks and knickknacks the kids have. You don't see a lot of Star Wars stuff, and my youngest son never asks about it, never wants to watch it. Not interested. Spiderman, yes, Ironman, yes... Star Wars, meh. It's over, the only thing keeping Star Wars alive is nostalgia and let's be honest, the people who are nostalgic for the original Star Wars trilogy are over 60 by now, or at least ageing xennials like me who watched them on vhs in the 80s. Heck the kids who grew up with the prequals are in their late 30s or 40s by now. Not many kids are growing up watching the rise of sky walker.

[@endorbr]

Somehow Palpatine returned… but she keeps telling everyone her name is Skywalker for some reason.
