One small problem for Disney: arguably there are audiences for girl brands and male brands, but there is NO audience for woke brands.

[@RiskOfBaer]

They can't even define what a woman is, nobody should be surprised they don't know how to cater to them either. If they did, they wouldn't try to sell a sci-fi show to women in the first place, that's a losing battle.

[@jaceyking47]

_Exactly._ They try to make it for girls, but they completely miss the mark of what girls even like. Lots of girls liked Star Wars, but lots of girls like more traditionally feminine things more. And no amount of pandering will change that. But they can't even make good Princess movies, or chick flicks, or anything like that. They're making content for no one.

Because it's logically impossible to do so. It goes fundamentally against the lore and understanding of the SW universe. It would break the very world she so happily abuses and claims as her ideological playground. The reason she calls it that is because she compares it to God. And this is tied into the same destructive neo-Marxist/Female Supremacist's line of thinking, to break down every institution and tradition and spit on it, burn it to the ground and humiliate it. It's quite literally them invading our nerd space. Our fantasies and joy, to insert their insane misandrist anti-human ideologies into it.

[@VulpseiusFox]

Right there with you. When I heard they bought Star Wars, I was ecstatic. My thinking was “Well George isn’t doing much with it anymore besides clone wars and merch. Most of the work is being done by fans and EU books and video games. So if all of this was to also have the resources and support of one of if not the biggest media company on earth, which is known for it’s amazing stories and movies and characters and magical entertainment and amusement parks and cruises, how in the world could this possibly go wrong?” Literally thought it was the beginning of a revived and resurged Star Wars that would take the world by storm and be the biggest and best franchise of all time. Then I find out they got rid of and discontinued the EU. I was sad about this, but I figured “Eh. There’s some not as great stories in there too. I’m sure they can do something just as good if not better.” Then came force awakens. I came out of it very enthusiastic. Acknowledged it had several concerning flaws, and was heart broken with what happened with Han Solo, and wished they did more with Leia, but I could still see the massive potential and was so hyped to see the return of Luke. Kept rewatching it on Blue Ray at home and kept looking at theories and star wars lore channels and stuff. Then Rogue One, I personally came out from it liking it. It had a slow first half, but it slowly built up. It wasn’t like it was just nothing happening. So I just figured it was a slow burner that built up to a fantastic and awesome climax at the end. To this day I still find Scarif to be one of if not my favorite Star Wars battles. It genuinely felt like a Star Wars war movie, and I had hope they’d keep doing stuff like that and making it even better and better, while also improving on building and developing the slower first halves of these movies. But then… came… THAT MOVIE… we all know it by now. Essentially the complete assassination of the original Star Wars. I came out numb, not sure what to think. But then as time went on, thinking about it more, talking about it more, the more I realized how much I hated it and how horribly wrong it was in every way. Then I see all the stuff where behind the scenes they did it all deliberately, and dropped the masks and went after life long fans like me, who loved Star Wars through the thick and thin and even with all its faults and flaws. When that happened, it sadly wasn’t over yet for me. For me it wasn’t the end. It became a war for Star Wars. Hoping the baddies would get removed or leashed and muzzled and the good guys could come in and course correct. And initially I thought perhaps we were winning, because when Mandalorian came out, again it was flawed, but it again felt like Star Wars was coming back again. Like there was hope. Then Solo and Episode 9 came and I just came out depressed, and flat lined. No anger. No sadness. Just dead. Completely apathetic. But I stubbornly refused to admit defeat. I just convinced myself “okay the mistake of a sequel trilogy is over. Now they can focus fully on course corrections.” And the finale of mando season 2 seemed to confirm that for me. I again had hope. I couldn’t wait to see how they fixed things and made things better again because they seemed to realize what a mistake they made and they wanted to start finally doing better again. Then came show after show after show after that, we know what they are, and how they contaminated and ruined all the rest of Star Wars that still remained relatively untouched, along with screwing up what was built up and set up in seasons 1 and 2 of Mando. Then came along season 3 of mando to ruin everything with that. And of course we don’t talk about “Hiiiigh Republic”. And the comic books and stuff went completely downhill. The theme park stuff was a massive disappointment. The hotel that didn’t last long made me want to rip my hair out. Yet still, had the tiniest hope that maybe something in Ahsoka would change everything. That maybe just perhaps there was a faction in there that did care and wanted to do it right. Didn’t happen of course. And after that, I knew for sure it was over. Couldn’t deny it anymore. And then here we are today. We already know how it’s going and what’s happening. If anyone ever asks me if I’m a Star Wars fan now, my answer is “I used to be.”

never forget tho and I been saying this FOR YEARS. it IS partially George Lucas's fault for what Star Wars has become. he took the money. he did NOT include any provisions in the contract he signed with disney to protect "his kids." without Lucas' approval, disney would never own star wars. and lest we forget, THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN came when he sided WITH DISNEY in the proxy battle versus Nelson Peltz and said... “Creating magic is not for amateurs,” Lucas said in a statement released Tuesday. “When I sold Lucasfilm just over a decade ago, I was delighted to become a Disney shareholder because of my longtime admiration for its iconic brand and Bob Iger’s leadership.” Lucas continued, “When Bob recently returned to the company during a difficult time, I was relieved. No one knows Disney better. I remain a significant shareholder because I have full faith and confidence in the power of Disney and Bob’s track record of driving long-term value. I have voted all of my shares for Disney’s 12 directors and urge other shareholders to do the same.” NEVER FORGET! AND AS DOOMCOCK SAYS "STAY ANGRY"

[@OfficialJamion]

When Disney first bought Star Wars I was part of a Star Wars gaming group. I love Star Wars, the expanded universe; but when Disney made the announcement that JJ Abrams was going to direct the next movie I knew it was over. JJ Abrams has a history of ignoring canon and make cheap facsimiles of franchises he has worked on. It was at that point I took a stand and refused to support Disney in any way. Many members of my gaming group tried to reassure me, but I held fast. When their first Disney Wars filmed released I refused to see it. I was the only one in my gaming group. My friends made excuses for it, but with each passing film their stance changed. We still doing gaming together, group is a bit smaller; but we don't do as much Star Wars related stuff. When we do Star Wars gaming it is old stuff. The good stuff. See to me Disney didn't even kill Star Wars. George Lucas did the moment he sold it to Disney. He knew their plan before the final paper work was signed. What else were they going to do with it? Disney wasn't Star Wars. They didn't understand Star Wars, and up until that point they had ZERO involvement in Star Wars. Was it worse than I thought? Yes, but still I thought the end result should have been obvious to everyone. The moment they brought in Abrams was their admission that they cared nothing for the lore, nothing for the canon, and that ultimately they had every intention of destroying it.

[@Lemmiwings]

George Lucas killed Star Wars when he stopped listening to his collegues. Star Wars was already long dead, when he sold it to Disney.

[@Zodroo_Tint]

@@Lemmiwings Yep, the first stab came in the 90's when he released the orginial trilogy over an over again making sure the people understand he doing it only for the money and proving he doesn't understand Star Wars anymore. Then he made the Menacing Phantomium and Mr. Jar Jar proving we were right. He surrounded himself with yes mans and got rid of those who challeneged him. He believed his fans who worshipped him as a genius and gave us the prequels. That killed Star Wars.

[@dlewis9760]

Lucas ran out of gas. He knew it. I am thinking he was hoping he could sell it, but because he was alive they wouldn't have the guts to go off the rails. We don't live forever. If Lucas still owned it and passed away, someone was going to get their hands on it. The end result was going to happen then, now or later. Someday there would be no George in Lucas Films. I can't blame him for taking the money. Also, at the time, Disney was becoming the Disney of today, but weren't even close to the Disney of today. Who else had a pocketbook filled with the kind of cash Lucas got?

Despite the behind-the-scenes shenanigans, I remain a supporter of _Rogue One: A Star Wars Story_ (2016) both financially and spiritually as a long-time _SW_ fan. That said, I often refer to _RO_ as "accidentally good", because even though it fits quite nicely into George Lucas' canon, you can _absolutely_ see a "testing of the waters" in it of KK's intentions which would become fully apparent with -the lost jedi.- Now, _I will not_ call _RO_ 'cancel pig filth' (because it's not) compared to what came after it, but I will say it's the unintentionally _cleanest_ KK film. I still watch _RO_ and will continue to do so... but it is _the only_ KK-era content that I do. (I gave-up on _The Mandalorian_ mid-way through Season 3, because it was quite obvious that it had been compromised, RIP.)

There is one nonpolitical difference in the Disney movies that took me a while to verbalize: I believe the critical change was the rise of the superhero movie and creators used to churning those out. While this certainly ties into the more political changes (using superhero narratives in Star Wars dovetails neatly with the shift from "finding who you are and what out in the universe needs you" to "finding how powerful you've been all along") it isn't directly connected to them and in itself would cause problems for the verse if not carefully managed.

Even aside from all the character assassinations and lore breaking, they just didn’t know what to even do. They had nothing for Poe to do, so they sent him with an annoying sidekick on an hour long side quest that didn’t even end up mattering and only serviced to push political messaging and pad the run time. They didn’t know what to do with Poe, so they just made him a whiny and erratic bitch throughout the whole thing. Then they decided to kill off the “big bad” of the trilogy without even a solid plan for what to do afterwards. I could go on, but it was just stupid.
