I'm a Star Wars fan. I've watched the 6 films a million times. As a kid I played with lightsabers, bought a stormtrooper helmet, a clone helmet, lots of figurines, read books on star wars vehicles and planets and characters as well as a bunch of EU novels, was subscribed to Lucasfilm magazine until it ended in 2009, loved the video games: empire at war, republic commando, jedi academy etc. learnt to use after effects just to be able to make videos of myself with a lightsaber like in the movies, went to the Star Wars 30th anniversary exhibition and was transfixed by it etc. Disney killed it for me. I simply cannot appreciate content from people who openly berate actual fans while creating bad stories and characters that show a total lack of commitment and love for the universe George Lucas and many others with him created, people who care more about spreading their narrow political views than about creating good stories with lasting beauty and universal appeal. When you have the absolute privilege to inherit a revered franchise, you're supposed to honour it, not selfishly twist it to satisfy your transient little political obsessions. You also don't just inherit the franchise, you also inherit a fanbase and you ought to respect them. That didn't happen. See... to them, I'm not a fan and my loyalty to the franchise is irrelevant. I'm just the toxic white male who needs to be lectured about his toxic expectations that must be "deconstructed" to make room for marginalised voices and bold female characters that shatter my silly white male stereotypes and appreciation for traditional heroism. Well, don't worry... I'm out. Enjoy your new imaginary fans while the actual audience for Star Wars quietly drifts away.

The sad fact for me is that is how bad the quality of writing and direction has gone downhill. Disney had some great ideas to build their shows off of and they just ruined them. A prequal show about the Rule of two sounds great, but turned into the Acolyte. The rise of Boba Fett to conquer and rule a planet, great concept, ruined in the final product. Disney needs to hire some talented writers who have actually worked in the past, a decent director and leave them alone to make some good shows.

It benefits the company, bottom line, customers. Its crazy how much failing forward has happened at Disney. I don't understand how their stockholders are fine with this. This is why so many think they are getting pumped with BlackRock money or some ulterior motive like Cathleen has dirt on people or something so she gets full reins. She was a nobody who George is on video mocking when she tried to interject awful ideas for the prequels. No imagination, no talent. Toxic insufferable leadership.

Advertising via the Disney+ app is sufficient. After all, it's frequently said that the most important thing for a business isn't getting new customers, but, instead, retaining the ones you already have. Loyalty, and continued support (which is going to be more sustainable) is more important and valuable than hoping to lure in people (the stragglers/non-loyal) who aren't already watching your stuff/aren't already invested in the things you have to offer. If you have Disney+, then you're going to see Skeleton Crew all over the place. You can't not see it. Commenter below said they saw an ad on a bus in Orlando: that was a waste of money on Disney's part (or they were already renting the space to begin with, so they said, "sure, why not"). The value of Disney+ for the company is that they *keep* you watching - not that they bring millions of more people in. The market is saturated. Everybody who would want Disney+ has it.

If TLJ had been recieved better then Solo would have done very well at the box office (also if Ford and Williams appeared in the beginning and end of the movie in bookend cameo scenes as Han and Lando, but that's another subject). The Acolyte was so bad I'm not sure Star Wars shows on Disney+ can recover from the reputation hit.

[@BrokenBoxProduction]

Was more than just last jedi, there was the casting issue for han, the wierd ass writing moments for both han and lando, etc to add to the ire people held for it. I made my decision after I saw the casting promo videos, long before tlj came out.

[@jeffreyroedel9804]

@@BrokenBoxProduction Of course, but I don't mean the reviews of Solo, I mean ticket sales... if TLJ was well loved, the box office for Solo would have been a bigger success. Skeleton Crew is a good show, but no one is watching because of The Acolyte letting them down.

[@JayPadrig]

You think nobody liked Solo: A Star Wars Story, because of their disappointment with the last Jedi? That wasn’t it for me at all! It was the origin story of the coolest Star Wars character that nobody asked for. It was like doing micro dissection of classic characters with a rusty old butter knife. Nobody cares or should know about how Han Solo got his name, the particulars of meeting Chewbacca, and hearing with your own ears, bestowing the nickname Chewie. Everything you know about Han Solo like winning the millennium falcon from Lando, and how he got his blaster how Chewie got his bandolier… things like his old girlfriend character who he risked it all to go back and rescue, but then never mentioned her again. It was a feeble attempt at creating the Star Wars Multiverse where Obi-Wan would face Darth Maul again, because that was definitely in the planning! It was going to end up as cheesy as wrestling, because Obi-Wan already faced Aniken again in a stupid mid-quel situation which they were sure to repeat in Obi-Wan season two! It’s because of all these things that Disney proved they don’t understand their audience or their product, it’s just this thing they acquired to make money with, and crap out really horrible replaceable movies every year! Remember when we had to wait three years at a time for a new Star Wars movie??? there’s a reason for that. It was inevitable that they would have to recast Han Solo- but the guy they picked looked and sounded nothing like Harrison Ford! So I couldn’t sit and watch solo because a deep fake would’ve looked better, and just A.I. the shit out of his voice 😂

[@Simbaxi]

I'm a huge Star Wars nerd and have been so passionate about the franchise since I was a kid. I absorbed everything Star Wars, from comics to books to games. As silly as this sometimes sounds, it had such an impact on who I've become as an adult that I regularly find myself quoting iconic characters and using the incredibly talented writing and character development to help guide me through the challenges we all face in our more mundane lives. I've never felt more disconnected from the franchise than I do now. I've gone from the guy who you could ask the most obscure Star Wars questions to and get a 10,000-word essay on the matter, to someone who can't bear to bring myself to watch The Acolyte and Skeleton Crew because I just dread thinking about what harm they might do to the franchise. I'm firmly on the side of the fence that you have to take the risk and create new content, or we're just going to be recycling the same stuff over and over again. But you have to respect the original content and the lore within the universe we hold so dear. You have to put the storytelling before real-world agendas. This idea that you have to battle against your consumers is so insane-how can you be so disconnected from your fanbase that you don't realise the values you want to champion in the content you create have always been there in Star Wars and its EU? It beggars belief. I'll always go back to the writing of James Luceno, Drew Karpyshyn, Chris Avellone, Dave Filoni, and, of course, George Lucas himself. But, my word, does this franchise need its proverbial Luke Skywalker

[@JAWS1376]

[@fredericofb]

I'm like you. Huge fan since I was a kid, since the 80s and loved it til the Last Jedi. That movie was such a letdown and it really shook the franchise to its core and it changed from there forever. After the Last Jedi, Star Wars declined so much. Only Andor was really good because Kathleen Kennedy wasn't all over the place. Even Mando was only average for me. It just relied on a gimmick (a small yoda mixed with Gizmo) but it was fun but wasn't that well made. Boba Fett was terrible, Obi-Wan was ridiculous and The Acolyte was one of the worst tv shows I have ever seen. Kathleen has to step down, along lucasfilm insane agenda. Disney has to hire real creative people with star power and not just yes man that will just write and direct sub par productions. Disney killed Star Wars soul. Only Andor has that spark of excitement for a Star Wars project.

[@Simbaxi]

@tbone2646 this is the stage I'm getting to. But it's a sad state to be in, being numb to something you've been so passionate about. At least when you are getting angry it shows that you are still caring.

There's nothing wholesome about Han killing Greedo in cold blood. Or Leia in a chainmail bikini. Or Luke killing a bargeful of unarmed passengers.

[@Silver_Warden]

​@@koalabrownieThere's a point to all of that. Han shoots Greedo because that's who he is at that point in the story - a ruthless smuggler who doesn't care about anyone or anything other than himself and getting paid. This action clearly shows the audience who the character is. Then Han grows and changes for the better as the movies continue. That's the whole point. Han wasn't a good person from the beginning. Leia is purposefully degraded by Jabba to crush her pride and humiliate her. This in turn makes the audience hate Jabba more and cheer for his demise. Luke is specifically shown to have a darker side to him in Episode 6, all with dark clothes and dark actions, like chocking out the guards, threatening Jabba and yes - killing him and his people. The idea was to make the audience question whether Luke is indeed capable of turning to the dark side in the end, setting up the tension during his encounter with Palpatine. Nothing happens for no reason, and the story itself is still wholesome, because in the end, good still triumphs over evil. The good guys win, the empire falls.

[@MrVincer99]

The Acolyte was the nail in the coffin for me. I don’t like being accused of being a homophobic misogynist, because Disney has been making some really crappy Star Wars content. When DEI wins out over story, it never works. One of the best show’s ever made was The Wire. The biggest badass, and arguably the most intriguing character on the show was Omar, a gay character. No one gave a damn about his sexuality because the show was good and the characters were good. If anything, Omar being gay added to his complexity.

The anime revival we're having thanks to netflix and the investment in animation is a much enjoyable time in front of a screen than anything produced by this corporations without heart, love for the product or creativity. I see arcane and, even knowing it's flaws, i can enjoy the level of detail, love, search and intent to tell a story.. I think in fantasy and sci-fi stories that are about adventure and characters, your public is alway going to be kids.. if not literally is the inner kids of generations.. you ain to the sense of wonder and curiosity if you want people to resonate with your tales...

I personally don't hate skeleton crew I think its better than the acolyte that said I think the show is mid it's kind of lazy with a lot of its set design and names especially when they are on at attin. I mean they literally have garages and call them garages, They have play grounds like you would find in some American suburbs that look just like a normal play ground. to me its just lazy. Is skeleton crew better than the acolyte yes ,but that's also the worst thing that they have ever made. There have been shows that they have made that I liked, Rebels, Rogue One, Season 1-2 Mando, the bad batch, tales of the Jedi, the Jedi games with Kal. My general view of how Disney has handled the ip is its like they went out bought a thing of milk and instead of taking care of it they let it sit out of the fridge which allowed the milk to sour.

@Kiviluvu Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, 100%. I'm also getting tired of this whole "really small galaxy far far away" thing. Everything is directly related to another.

I'm not saying Skeleton Crew is bad. I haven't seen it, but The Acolyte definitely made me become disinterested in the series currently

[@PFMFIT]

Such a joke how they threaten to withhold shows or content we actually want because we didn't enjoy the content they put out cuz its riddled with politics and lore breaking events.

[@TravisWilliams-1]

You are correct. They lost me when the killed the EU. The rest of this is just sad and not Star Wars

[@ThereIsAlwaysaWay2]

The ONLY intelligent people will avoid anything Disney and cancel Disney+ and ESPN. If you don't do both, it's because you love it in the ass. Otherwise it means you want to PARTICIPATE and BEING PART of the destruction of your favorite show.

If Disney truly followed "tolerance" then they would immediately, emphatically, and formally apologize to Gina...

[@jrob4795]

For me, the EU being disregarded was the coffin, and The Last Jedi was the final nail. Being a comic book fan, I was already disgusted with Disney for ruining just about everything Marvel, but I thought at least I still got Star Wars…right.
