How Disney RUINED Star Wars

[@TheyWillKnowAnother]

Our world may not have ended in 2012, but the world of Star Wars did

[@robertsmiley2207]

Just like Terminator Dark fate once they killed Jon Connor they simultaneously killed their own franchise

[@OtakuGamer-h2n]

Disney never should of bought star wars in 2012.

[@nicholasdelaney1407]

The Sequel Trilogy was just the Original Trilogy, but with plot-holes, dumb forgettable and unlikable characters, bad fight scenes, toxic feminism, and insulting our legendary heroes who we love...

[@redc7146]

Some people try to cope and say they’ll go the way of the prequels in another generation or so, where reception to the Disney stuff will get better over time. But we’re about to be on ten years since TFA. It will be as old as Revenge of the Sith was when TFA came out, and yet in a stunning twist, TFA’s reception has only gotten more negative with time.

[@Coolnesski]

There was never a need for the sequel trilogy

[@pbh9195]

When Sabine started to use the force they completely broke the universe because the concept of being force sensitive has been ruined 10,000 Jedi in a galexy of trillions, it's clear that the force is ment to be exclusive with it's users, if not chosen People complaining about midiclorians fail to understand that it provides an in unviverse reason why force sensitive beings are rare and most are inducted in the Jedi Now everyone can learn the force with no effort "when everyone's super, no one will be"

[@idiot_city5444]

Sabine is one of the worst characters in the franchise

[@John-fk2ky]

@@idiot_city5444 no, she’s got a lot of good moments in Rebels. Her depiction in Ahsoka is pretty much antithetical to who she was in previous appearances.

[@Arcorias]

"Disney had the resources, talent and opportunity to take Star Wars in both directions". Maybe resources and opportunity but not talent. What they could have done from the start after they got the franchise was to take the drafts of George Lucas and develop them into real, well written stories. But instead, they decided to disregard them. If they really relied on nostalgia and talent, then they had given the old beloved characters of Star Wars a respectful treatment (like KK promised to) while introducing the new ones. Instead, they gave it in the hands of totally untalented directors and storywriters who wanted them to die as quick as possible (especially the male ones) and introduce a Mary Sue (or space princess) who actually needs nobody because she's just perfect in everything. Disney was never really interested in Star Wars itself but to get their high investment in it back as fast as possible. And because they don't understand Star Wars, the result is flop after flop. Now the damanage is done and only a wonder far far away could bring it back to the times when fans were really excited about a new Star Wars movie.

[@trinstonmichaels7062]

Yup this happens when you don't have a plan when creating something.

[@thoughtfuldevil6069]

For all its faults, the Prequel Trilogy wasn't an exact replica of the OT. The three movies felt different, from each other and from the Originals.

[@HalfEatenMedia]

No one talks about it but J.J Abrahams reputation is completely ruined. Ever since episode 9 came out, no studio has wanted to put his name to their projects. He’s looked at as a hack fraud by all the fans and that enough to scare studios from him

[@robertsmiley2207]

[@remymccoy6078]

also i think that naming the little baby Yoda, Grogu... Was stupid! Could have Disney thought of a better name? maybe!

[@TheyWillKnowAnother]

Im so glad I’m not the only one that thinks Grogu is a retarded name

[@grimmly]

Ray became cracked with the force because when Kylo touched her, it triggered the fOrCE DyAd and she literally became equal to him in the very second. Pretty dumb.

[@Rigobert-Wupperschnitzl]

I didn't get the impression that the fans want something new during the PT era. The sequels were exactly what they wanted, OT scenery with more or less OT like characters. Be careful what you wish for.

[@edgargomez5599]

I said it as soon as Disney decided what was canon and what wasn't. Disney ruined Star Wars and they ain't got a dime from me since.

[@Frustratedartist2]

Goddamn, haven't seen one of these videos in years. I mean, Disney had great success in their Star Wars efforts, they tried to make the franchise appeal to 5 year old and ONLY to five year olds, and me, not being a 5 year old (by a long shot), just can't even hear about this franchise anymore (unless in a YT video talking about how it's been destroyed).

[@grimmly]

This is exactly how you save SW. 1. Clean house of all the trash that have been making terrible choices, as well as people who the fans straight up hate. Ie Kathleen Kennedy. 2. They need to fix the story. Which will be a little dirty but it has to happen if they story is to continue or even explore the past. They need to pull some bull sht and bring Luke back in some way. There are dozens of ways to do it and it make sense in the lore, but in all honesty nobody will care. Any way they bring back Luke is infinitely better than how his character sits right now. 3. With a new Luke, and this Luke would be younger. You cast an actual person to play him, and then you sample content from legends. Bringing in Characters such as Mara Jade. And then this Luke actually brings balance to the force by successfully restarting the new Jedi order. With this, you are able to patch up some of the holes the sequel trilogy left. Via some crap new Luke learns. Maybe he gets force visions of the previous Luke. Force echo like Cal, whatever. And Ray, could actually be a companion to him, maybe playing a role that Leah obviously can’t fill in some legends scenarios. With these flash backs you’re able to give us reasons to bring In certain characters and you’re able to patch up the past and set up a future for the story as well. Without fixing Luke, starwars will never be successful. M

[@razorback9999able]

Bob Iger and his yes men must be removed as well. Removing Iger would not only fix Star Wars, but all franchises under Disney's belt.

[@davehandelman2832]

It's 2025 and I'm still heartbroken by how terrible Force Awakens was

[@collegeman1988]

I’m going to mention Stephen King’s The Stand again in this post. It’s one of my favorite stories, and at one time, I really, really wish there were a sequel to such a wonderful book. However, I’ve realized that just like Star Wars, there can never be a decent sequel after Return of the Jedi because the conflict that drove the entire Star Wars movie series George Lucas had created was resolved. What was the conflict that drove The Stand? It was Randall Flagg, aka The Dark Man and The Walkin’ Dude. Once he was defeated, the story was over. The same thing is true about Star Wars, which is the story of the birth, life and death of the Sith. Once the Sith (Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader) were defeated, the story is FINISHED! THE END. Bringing back Darth Vader, or Emperor Palpatine, or even the Sith cheapens the victory accomplished by what Luke Skywalker and the Rebels had worked so hard to accomplish. That is why the Disney Star Wars movies will be forgotten and people will never have an interest in seeing them ever again.

[@jonathanwindham1316]

I agree with almost everything you said. I think Rey taking on the Skywalker name makes sense. And while I don't like bringing back Darth Sidious, I think it could have worked pretty well, if it had been executed properly.

[@tjsmith5276]

3:35 YES YES! I'm so glad to finally hear someone else say it. I knew from jump that the Sequel Trilogy was doomed. This is sort of unrelated but I see how Disney is coming out with Toy Story 5 and I'm telling you right now, it's going to suck.

[@tw5035]

So perfectly and concisely said. You could have touched on more, as there was so much more, such as the lack of care put into any writing or character development … a lack of love for the original universe. A lack of making it feel real … ie, not explaining the universe at all (new republic vs resistance) but… you said enough. Star Wars is dead.

[@ozm0zesjoe466]

Gotta love all the star war content creators. Gotta make money by rehashing the same video a bajillion times

[@Hero_Of_Old]

I've actually been in a real Star Wars mood recently (which Disney almost killed) but I just ignore all of that now and just watch the 6 films, the old books and games etc. Although I will say the new Thrawn books are good.

[@130002076]

I like the video and your points. Just some constructive criticism but I noticed you played random clips from the movies, it would make your points stand out more if you show the clips that you're referring to to reinforce the idea. It would also help out those who may not have seen the movies. I agree with what you're saying though.

[@MrChristophSteininge]

You mention this scratching of heads several times caused me to feel the urge to scratch my head. Furthermore I have the distinct feeling that the producers of Disney enjoyed the destruction they caused. As if the deconstruction of a beloved myth seemed to elevate them, because they themselves could not make such succeessful products they take pride in the deconstruction of ones that are. But it is all done now. They killed the goose that layed golden eggs and now they are bemoaning that, blaming hypercritical fans. You can observe the same coping mechanism working for the Marvel franchise. We should not feel too sad. When George Lucas created SW he was doing something fresh. We will have to wait for someone to have a similar creative impetus. That is the way of the universe, the old gives way to the new!

[@dannylavoie8348]

Everyone can be a bit force sensitive. But rare are those strong in the force.

[@schmelzwah]

The funny thing to me is, if you read every book, comic, and game about star wars that came out before disney took over people would notice that nothing has really changed. While there are numerous books and games that are beloved like the Thrawn trilogy and the x-wing series there are also bafflingly bad ones that came before disney took over as well. When a franchise produces this much content it is bound to have some hit and miss moments. This is also what is going on with Disney's marvel right now. They need to slow down how much they are working on (which they did with Marvel) and improve quality control.

[@Padtedesco]

Yes. And they had all that, but thrown it out the window because believed that being an unethical opportunist turn you in an art specialist. Yes, that is how Disney got great, unnethical actions that she took when law allowed. Now Disney corporate believe that they know better what is good and what is bad Star Wars compared to... reality of older works.

[@John-fk2ky]

Your analysis is laughably off. Those different materials were written over the course of decades, and there’s an almost incomprehensible amount of the old EU stuff. Of course there are good ones and bad ones. That’s always a given. No one said the EU was flawless. But the general ideas behind it were great, and as you should have probably noticed, all that stuff sold really well. Disney’s hasn’t. Why? Because it is consistently not good, with good being the exception rather than the rule. It also, despite starting from scratch, managed to do what it took simply having too much material for the EU to do. It broke its own continuity, violating the chief reason for sidelining the EU.

[@schmelzwah]

@@John-fk2ky The sold well or not well is not a good metric, because if you did know the EU stuff you would know that it actually sold less often than the disney stuff. In addition, people talking about the EU usually are talking about the same 5 or so stories, which had broken continuity in them as well, with hundreds of other stories dropping to obscurity or just not being good. The "quality", "consistency" or "ideas" of star wars haven't really changed by the group changing hands if you have been following all the content coming out from both groups since the beginning.

Great video though! You got a new subscriber

[@bchristian85]

Andor had a gay character and it was great. People who want to pin it all on wokeness are missing the big picture.

[@John-fk2ky]

Yes, but it’s not Star Wars. It violates the universe’s basic themes of good and evil, making everyone shades of grey (instead of having some purely good characters for contrast), and, arguably worse for viewer interest, follows a character we were introduced to in the story he died in. Andor might be good entertainment, but what’s the point?

[@jonathanhammer8656]

Disney did create problems with Star Wars franchise on the trilogy, but they did make good Mandalorian series and Andor series throughout the mini franchises, however, the other Star Wars series they developed were not as fascinating that they were before like the previous ones. They seem to decline overtime, which has maybe lean towards Star Wars legends that Disney had not adapted to.

I dunno man, Palpatine coming back doesn’t invalidate Anakin being The Chosen One (nor does it ruin Star Wars) because him becoming Darth Vader is not what the Force wanted him to do and thus allowed for a new evil... a new Empire... to emerge which meant that balance had to be brought again.

[@halbleavy9900]

For me, strictly speaking for myself I would like Star Wars to move away from the Sith and Jedi because both groups are equally unfvcking interesting. You have one group of "Space Wizards" who have powers that took the high road and the other group of "Space Wizards" who let their powers corrupt them. The Wizards take people's children to train them, do the parents ever even ask "take my 6-year old and train them for what exactly"?

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

This moronic mindset can come from the POV of someone who sticked to the movies only, the Disney+ slop and overrated cartoons like TCW and Rebels. As a result, Jedi and Sith have been poorly explored and mishandled, while being overexposed as shallow archetypes. Play KOTOR 1 and 2, read the Republic and Legacy comics, the Darth Bane and Plagueis books and you'll see why people were so invested. It's more than just "Space Wizards that abduct babies vs evil space wizards". And when you remove them, what do you even get ? The blandest excuse for a space western or a generic pseudo-cyberpunk fanfiction. The Mandalorian was so utterly boring, it eventually leaned onto Force sensitives yet again. Andor is a creatively void and generic spy thriller with token characters and the same tiresome Rebels vs Empire backdrop. Outlaws was laughably bad, and Skeleton Crew is a Goonies/Stranger Things rip-off.

I love the EU and the new canon and stuff. Its been really hard because i always get called a "Fake Fan" in some parts of Star wars KZbin channels that does EU Stuff. Its been hard. But yeah. I don't check out because of a show. I'm a fan for life no matter if its good or bad. Also doni hate Rey? Hit or miss. Kylo was my favorite character in the sequels. Finn was poorly written. He could've been incredible. Also don't forget the EU also brought back Palpatine and the sith destroying Anakins legacy as well. Also, Kylo killing Han, that was definitely going to happen no matter what the story would've been Harrison Ford wanted Han to die and he finally got his wish.
