TOP 10 Disney Star Wars FAILURES

[@PhilosophicallyAmerican]

It will forever baffle me that Disney started a trilogy without a comprehensive plan or even an outline.

[@braxxian]

I know, that’s truly astonishing. Approaching the biggest new trilogy in modern movie history with no plan of actually what to do. That pretty much sums up Kathleen Kennedy. Sheer chaos.

[@theunknowncommenter725]

@@PhilosophicallyAmerican let's not forget that they were gift-wrapped a complete outline by George lucas, and still decided to throw it away.

[@GeorgeChacon2112]

It's worse that it's coming out that there were people who actually did have plans and passion but they turned them all down in favor of "the message" and Kathleen's Bullshit.

[@mattvanlandingham8034]

@@theunknowncommenter725 Beat me to it. Yep. Amazing. : "Hi I'm GL, the guy that's driven this since it's beginning, here's a packet with a shit ton of suggestions that will wrap everything up in tight little package" Not to mention hundreds of thousands of pages of books, comics and animated material. And they tossed it over their should like an old light saber. Asshats.

[@jm7804]

@@theunknowncommenter725 I think a complete outline is an over statement. George said he gave them a draft of the story for the next films and other related projects. He has said several times that they didn't follow any of his suggestions. I would love to see those ideas just to imagine what could have been. I think if George's kids had shown any interest in film, other than riding on his coattails, then he would've kept the franchise in the family.

[@jesustyronechrist2330]

The biggest failure is Disney never asking "Why is Kathleen Kennedy still working for us?"

[@YawnMK1]

Kathleen Kennedy: *shows the incriminating evidence Disney higher ups: _"o-oh... Right... 250 millions for your show, right?"_

[@cameronjones8641]

They didn't need too. She was doing the bidding of her B L A C K/R O C K masters. She has followed their directive perfectly.

[@randerson4124]

because she's been part of the machine since the early 80s.

[@braxxian]

Kennedy isn’t a creative and never was. She was a functionary at Lucasfilm, she took notes, made the coffee and was a general gofer. She somehow managed to get credited was “executive producer” on all the great films that Lucas and Spielberg made. Her dismal failure when forced to operate on her own hasn’t surprised me one bit. George made a poor choice.

[@duke927]

They, like all good Lefties, project their, motives, feelings and behaviors onto others.

[@dronesclubhighjinks]

That saying is really nonsensical. Star Wars fans love actual Star Wars that had heart and soul. Not this imposterish, badly mutated photocopy that Disney SW produced. George RR Martin said something similar although he also included Star Trek fans hating Star Trek. They always reach for the most superficial simple explanation like "they just don't like women characters". Yes, tens of millions of dedicated Star Wars fans decided to suddenly hate women characters all at the same time lmao

[@hopegalaxy]

Yeah that's true. Unfortunate some people wanna paint the SW fanbase in a negative light than actually painting Disney in a negative. It's sickening. It breaks my heart.

When it was first announced I honestly thought he was going to be related to windu or lando. And he would have been the main character and Ray would have been the side character.

[@Red_Devil_2011]

A bunch of people I know didn't like him from the start for two reasons. 1. once they established stormtroopers as clones, it seemed really out of place and pandery. 2. he existed purely to be the black love interest for the white woman. We're glad that he turned out to be a big dumb nothing burger rather than something more propagandistic. I do feel sorry for black people though. To be pandered to only for their token character to be useless. Same how asians were strung along with rose. Disney is so awful.

[@Goldenspiderducck]

Completely agree. Finn is the most interesting idea those movies had. The way Disney had it set up, that war had been going on for _40 FUCKING YEARS_ (to this day, I have no idea what the First Order are. They’re the Empire, as far as I’m concerned). A Stormtrooper who had enough, took his helmet off, and basically asked, “What in the holy *fuck* are we DOING?!?” could’ve been a really interesting journey. But, you know…I guess screaming, “REY!

This is true, but there were also various stages. The popularity of Mando brought a lot of people back, but then Kenobi pissed them off again with the bait and switch tactics and not giving it as many resources as their other shows. That woke up a lot of SW fans, and the shows' ratings never recovered. Then the Acolyte woke up everyone, because even people that had never watched SW could see how bad it was with the viral clips like "The power of mannyyy".

[@leadsin99er]

Also. TLJ Helped make Nerdrotic and Critical Drinker popular.

[@captainlinebacker8894]

I agree. While the Acolyte was far worse IMO you can at least write it off as a failed spinoff. TLJ had to succeed and instead condemned the entire sequel trilogy era to failure. There’s a reason even Disney won’t touch the sequel era anymore with any new product.

I feel bad for Temuera Morrison. I've met him and he's awesome. Deserves a better show

[@doesitmatter9085]

Book of Boba Fett should have been awesome. It should have been the sci/fi equivalent of The Godfather - mob factions battling it out for control of Tatooine. How you can screw that up blows my mind - but their mad dash to undo the end of The Mandalorian season 2 is largely responsible.

[@Jackfromshack]

Was fan of him since Battlefront 2 (classic, from 2005). The only thing that pleases me is that Disney paid him well, to destroy his character, as well as many others along the way

[@iambob6590]

"Once were warriors" is how i first came across Tamuera. That was a powerful movie.

Boba should have been left in the shadows. The character was cool “because” we knew so little about him.

​@night6724 But What about Witwer, Filoni & Faverou?!

[@night6724]

@@zshah3107 sam is an actor and began with SW before Disney Star Wars voicing Maul and star killer like he certainly has passion, but he’s just an actor so he doesn’t have much influence I think Feloni and Faveru well, but eventually got caught up in their own hype, and especially feloni for basically using the original trilogy as his toy box which came as a detriment to Mandalorian I really don’t think he’s adapted as well to live action compared to animation. Mandalorian lucked out on having great filmmakers like Favro and Bryce Dallas howard on board compared to Asoka, which just had way worse quality in terms of cinematography and direction. Overall, I just think Feloni got too big for what he could handle and Faveru was too hamstrung.

[@ChaptermasterPedroKantor-kv5yw]

There were failures in the OT era. The Death Star having such a vulnerable exhaust port was a joke among fans and detractors. Many a Trekkie used it during the ritual SW vs ST debates. And of course everybody HATED the Ewoks. Because of them the OT is 2,5 good movies. With the last one being moments of sheer throneroom awesome sauce mixed in with teddybear cringe. Sadly they were a harbinger of what Lucas would unleash on us with the Prequels. Also, and probably the biggest fail of them all, Lucas erasing the theatrical versions from history in favor of his 'improved' CGI overload.

Best Nerdrotic video ever. Kudos to the editors. Loved the soundtracks for Dallas, Airwolf, & Knight Rider. Brought back so many happy memories of old TV shows watched with family - ditto for movies. Boy, has Disney done a wonderful job destroying my goodwill for the Star Wars franchise. It really hit me remembering what I loved with the OT vs the rage & resentment I have now for LucasFilm.

[@saintuk70]

Actually, kinda nailed it with the "not for over 50's experience", not understanding DISNEY that Star Wars is generational, us oldies pass on the galaxy's experience to the young ones... it's all the same, or should have been, the same galaxy. In Scotland our slang for does not is disnae said the same way as Disney. So Disnae Work, Disnae tell a story, Disnae act well, Disnae know wtf it's doing.

[@matthewmagda4971]

My parents went to see Episode IV on a date when they were engaged. I had Ewok Underoos. Star Wars would not exist if they didn't tell a multi-generational story.
