[@carom1]

Yeah man, it's kind of sad because Star Wars IS worth a lot. Just not to a company that will put SJWs in charge of it. They tend to be compelled to self insert their ideology in anything they touch. They can't help it.

[@UselessInnovations]

The movies are good. THE figures are cheap, poorly made. Problem is, nerds still buying that crap, that's why they will never improve the quality of the figures. It's that simple.

[@admech590]

I'm so fucking depressed, the sad thing is this trilogy didn't have to be this bad. But the combination of social justice bullshit, awful business practices, and the bastardisation of established characters for the sake of the new canon even existing in the first place, killed whatever hope was left for the franchise.

[@TheCockeyez]

Trijedi Knight I'll copy this, my thoughts exactly. I did have my hopes and then they got crushed by reality.

[@GeorgeMonet]

The problem with the movie is that no one had the passion to make a movie. People were just cruising through their work day when they were writing the script because their boss told them they had to write a script. Force Awakens copied the beats from A New Hope without understanding why those beats were in A New Hope and the purpose they were supposed to serve and thus failed because of it.

[@stevenbrule5285]

+Sharrel Wright George Lucas decided that fans wanted to know the origin of the Force, so we go Midi Chlorians. Rian Johnson decided that fans wanted to know the origin of blue milk, so we got a CGI space cow with four bewbs. George's decisions in the prequels are suddenly looking pretty decent!

[@Trollificusv2]

I think it's noble of Rian Johnson to spend an entire movie doing things so stupid they make the prequels look like wise moviemaking decisions. Seen a lot of people nostalgic for Lucas' hands on the controls and that would have been inconceivable a year ago.

[@OfficerPressman]

Star Wars toys are literally a dumpster 🔥 in 2018. If the me from the 1990’s was told by my current self that episode 8 would be one of the worst movies ever made and Star Wars toys wouldn’t sell anymore he would probably have lost his mind. I never thought even after the prequels that things could get so pitiful. To hell with Disney!!!

[@Walamonga1313]

For every thousand hipsters winging about the rape of their childhood, at least a few fanboys who've loved this fandom since the first film are going to experience the long-overdue revelation that a big part of their life has always been about (effectively) jerking off to a toy commercial. ...and bronies are the creepy ones...

Not anymore. My wife thanks the disney SW films coz it stop me from buying toys anymore. Bye Star Wars.

[@brgessner]

The main issue is the main fan base of star wars is boy's 8-12 years old. By focusing on making star wars nice for girls, they forgot to cater to their target audience. I am a new father and have taken my son over to play with other families and one thing I have noticed. Homes with boy's tend to be dominated by super hero's of all types. Homes of little girls are explosions of pink and pastels. Missing are massive troves of star wars toys maybe a light saber here or there. I bought my friends little 8 year old boy a lego X-wing and TIE fighter (the smaller bag versions) and much to my surprise they totally flopped. As it turned out Disney has found a formula to make something neither appealing to little boy's or little girls. Little Boy's don't associate with strong willed magic 19 year old women, and little girls like catchy songs and pretty dresses (let it go! let it go!, frozen refuses to die in some house holds )

[@babyjiren9676]

[@ChurchoftheLatterDayShrek]

True story I have here(may not mean much but here me out)When I was walking through my local Target(mostly out of boredom). In a far distance I saw a family of four searching through the Star Wars Forces of Forced Diversity dolls, and the girl whom they were buying the doll for, just wanted Chewbacca. I remember the little girl clearly telling the parents "I want the chewbacca one!" The parents offered her to get Rey, Jyn, and Leia, but ultimately the girl walked away with a Chewbacca doll. You know your company is doing something wrong when nobody cares about the new characters when part of the target demographic prefers the side characters over The newer main characters.

I agree that boys don't usually like to play with toys of women. I can speak for myself because I didn't play with any when I was a kid. The only exceptions I can remember were the yellow and pink Power Rangers. And it was mainly because the Power Rangers were a team, so I had to get all six of them, you know?

[@JayDee284]

the only time Boys buy toys of women if the Character is just that good I remember X-men toys of Storm & Rouge sold all the time because of how cool they where on the show & comics @ the time.

[@zaemcolt182]

Here in Mexico nobody buys Finn figures, walmart even lowered the price to 6 bucks and still no one bought them

[@Jared_Wignall]

Ever since TFA, I've noticed nobody has bought a new action figure. People don't really want Rey, Finn, Poe or any new character Disney and Lucasfilm puts out. People like the characters from the OT and the PT, whether you were fond of the prequels or not, there were characters people did enjoy, though these new characters are pretty bland and boring. George Lucas made a killing off the figures over the years, yet Disney and all their might and power, seem to not be able to make as much as he did. I find that shit hilarious.

[@AceTechHD]

Jared Wignall They’re going to start permanently bundling Yoda and Rey together. “Hey you want Darth Vader? You gotta pay for this shit too.”

[@TheBossssssssssss]

Jared Wignall Forced Diversity is predictable and people are starting to wake up to bland forced diversity being rammed down their throats and this is some proof people don’t want it he he he

[@RogueFox2185]

Even though they would never do this, they should sell more PT and EU merchandise alongside the OT toys as well and they should start making shows and/or movies based on both of them sense people would find them much more preferable than Disney Canon Star Wars.

[@ketchupkatsup9805]

ThePainTrain yes because your one nephew counts for all kids, right? I've seen plenty Asian kids get Rose and Paige, plenty girls get Rey and loads of black kids wanting Finn. The best thing about new Star Wars is there's a character for every kind of person. Let the kids have their fun and stop whining about liberal bullshit. Everyone should be able to enjoy Star Wars.

[@ketchupkatsup9805]

bloodrunsclear "the boring girl who has force powers" you could use the same argument against Luke and say "that boring boy with Force powers". Stop whining. Rey is the female equivalent of Luke. Finn chose good over evil, chose to save his friends over running away.. hardly 'does nothing'. Do you even know Star Wars? You're the kind of idiot that gives this fanbase a bad name.

[@ketchupkatsup9805]

SOLEK MASTER RACE rey isn't a shit female luke tho - she's the exact same. But less whiny.

[@Talis7212]

*zooms in on Rey looking like a Disney character* "Now that's the face of a dead franchise." LOL

[@ExplorerDS6789]

My only problem with Rey as a character is that she's just too serious. She never even tries to crack a joke or a quip or I don't even think she's cracked a smile ONCE. Even Qui-Gon Jinn, as serious as he was, was a warmer character than Rey.

[@pakasack]

ExplorerDS6789 she laughs and smiles in TFA and smirks like once in LJ. But yeah she’s kind of boring

[@davidhyslop3376]

i can lift rocks

[@samueljackson3512]

ExplorerDS6789 She has such a nice smile/laugh too. Or at least Daisy does.

[@samueljackson3512]

Chase And Luke was a self insert character. Lucas. Luke. S. .. but honestly I don't think her being a Mary sue would be too bad as long as they give her personality flaws, and explain her power. TLJ explained her power somewhat and she was drawn to the dark side and failed to rescue Kylo. She is like the overly optimistic naive kid. She even believed Finn in TFA. I don't think Rey is that big of a problem honestly. The main new characters aren't that bad imo, but the plot and themes are all over the place. Kill is interesting but at the same time his motives make no sense, smoke and hux's actions make no sense. TFA was boring and TLJ made no sense and was bloated The cantobitemyass scene was crap, they cared more for horses than slaves. And rose is shit all around,who is she to harm scared people , even war hero's, trying to leave. And her saving finn...etc. like , the message makes no sense, should Poe have flown into Holdos ship and stopped her from doing THE EXACT SAME THING???. And should Lea have been like "Luke your a hologram go away" to save him???? And the way Luke acted toward Kylo it would make PERFECT sense if they did it subtly ,IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME. BUT NO they have him TRY TO KILL HIM. Wtf..... So yeah Rey I don't consider that bad on top of everything else, she's a bit Mary sue. But so are a lot of characters, and she does have some faults, she's just op.

[@babyjiren9676]

That’s because she’s not only a Mary Sue, but also the embodiment of everything that is wrong with modern feminism. She doesn’t crack a smile or laugh becuase that’s not what feminists do. They only scream, growl and complain to hide their insecurities.

[@FOTG2]

The star wars games are trash because of *cough cough* micortransactions

[@punbug4721]

+maverickx36 Mmmmm... no, that's the opposite of what happened. Disney liscenced films out to theaters and toy rights out to Hasbro. Their money is safely in their banks. Hasbro took that money to toy stores and said, "Hey, we'd like to put our stuff in your stores." The toy stores by and large accepted the offers (because, c'mon, it's _Star Wars_ ). But then, by not selling the bulk of their product, the _toy stores_ lost a ton of money; they never made their investment back. What I'm saying is, don't buy it if you don't want it; but you're not hurting Disney anywhere besides their ego.

[@ericgarcia4745]

Ben Wells Disney has to re-license the rights to a company to continue making toys and for new movie toys. That's where they lose money cuz the toy maker won't pay the same amount it did before

[@punbug4721]

Eric Garcia Fair enough. Though this mostly encourages them to make toys they think will sell. We may see fewer toys in the future, or we may only see less risky ones. More white helmets, less purple hair.

Simple. 2 in 3 star wars fans are men. Most hardcore fans are men. Women go with their partners or parents to see Star Wars. They may enjoy it but it is usually something their man wants to see. Groups of men see star wars together. Very rarely do groups of women. Most fans who will buy merchandise are men. The new trilogy panders to women. Women do not like sci fi as much as men. Rey is not a good character, Rose is not a good character and the men had their balls cut off. Kylo is an emo child and snoke looks like shit. Girls do not like action figures. Despite what feminists think male and females are different. One is not better than the other but they are not the same. A girl walks into a toy store and given the choice will pick something pretty like a doll or stuffed animal. A boy walks in and he grabs a truck or an action figure.

Hi, woman here. I adore Star Wars -- all the good-to-decent Star Wars media before Disney bought it out. Currently still going through the old EU, and play KOTOR, SWBF2 (2005), and Jedi Academy once a year. I love Star Trek too, though not as much as SW-- I've most of the original, TNG, Voyager, and DS9 especially. Wasn't too in to Enterprise, though. Sci find and Sci-fi fantasy are literally my two favorite genres in any/all media. Got into this stuff because of my dad. What I'm saying here is please don't make sweeping generalizations. Female fans of Star Wars exist. And yes I hate SJW Star Wars. Subsituting your story for an agenda and forced diversity never works well.

[@noeditbookreviews]

[@joshuakim5240]

Or how to not fuck up what should have been an easy gold mine: Rule #1 of selling merchandise= don't blatantly insult the loyal customer base with horrid products/films aimed specifically to give those loyal customers a massive middle-finger. Did Disney seriously think that Kathleen Kennedy's and Rian Johnson's insult to fans would actually result in people buying their stuff? Why would the collectors and fans (aka people with money...who are not children...) want this stuff after this?

[@geoffreyharris5682]

I felt insulted, infuriated and betrayed. I saw the original movie in 1977. When I was 25-years-old I bought close to $500 worth of SW stuff. Now I am buying none. KK and RJ and company deliberately set out to and successfully ripped off, insulted, played for fools, and drove away the hard core fans. Now I want blood. Execute Order 66 against RJ and KK. Boycott Disney.

[@geoffreyharris5682]

Geoffrey Harris 26 minutes ago (edited) I can tell you a few reasons why these items are not moving. The main reason is that Disney inadvertantly and deliberately alienated the hard core fans who have the money and inclination to buy this sort of stuff and catered to the casual fans and general audiences who generally do not. The hard core fans wanted to see the new republic on the rise, the empire in retreat and Luke training jedi and being a hero and a mentor. They wanted the EU in, clone wars maintained, LA not EA making the games, and did not want the rebels etc shows. By damaging Han's character and destroying Luke's Disney, KK, and RJ really turned a lot of folks off. Also KK made the mistake of catering to the sensitivities of some fools bu weakening the GE character. They should have left her more petulant and ballsy. KK should have left RO dark and character driven. Disney has made wrong decisions, logically, thematically, historically, and morally by the standards of those who know and value SW. In so doing they have trashed the collectible and memorabilia and resale markets that are run by exactly the sort of middle-aged middle class white men with $100,000's that Disney and KK deliberately disregarded, disrespected, outright insulted, alienated, and drove away.

[@Murderface666]

[@darthdurkelthewise320]

I work for a certain billion dollar 💵 retailer that will remain unnamed. First of all, Disney is insanely strict about the amount of space allotted for their stuff, and what needs to happen to anything with a Star Wars related image on it...More on that later... We have been left with a huge amount of TLJ merchandise that didn’t sell for quite some time. We did okay on Force Friday but once the movie came out NOTHING sells. I believe we still have most of the same Forces Of Destiny dolls that we originally had months ago, all clearanced out! The Propel drones (that are actually kind of cool that I own 1 of), are down to their last markdown before they go salvage! Most of this stuff will literally be trashed. Not even our shoplifters want it!!! Nobody wants this stuff. Nobody wants the lightsabers. Nobody wants the Black Series peg warmers. Nobody wants anything Rey, Rose, Kylo Ren... ...So about the previously mentioned Disney/SW promo signs, displays, LEGO sets, etc. All that stuff is supposed to be trashed but I found it gives me great satisfaction to take these items and sell them to the nerds that actually think they’re getting something special! I love the OT and I still but some of the cooler OT Hot Toys from Japan but the stuff stateside is absolute garbage! I love it when I see the Black Series figures on eBay for $50+ dollars, WTF? I think to myself dude, just wait and these will be given away. The way DISNEY has flooded the market with this stuff means that nothing is special or hard to get! This whole thing has just turned into a 3 ring circus that’s just entertaining to watch fail!!!!!!😂😂😂😂

[@davidhyslop3376]

try and get r5d4 6" black series

[@VLADB07]

I loved your comment I agree, I just started to collect since I was too young back then and I was surprised how there was these shit toys where as online I see the 30th anniversary/vintage etc...and I am like wtf is going on, cuz I am new to this right? Well this shit explains it, they are fuckin dumb to make shit that doesn't sell. Take Darth Revan 6" that shit is a holy grail to find...why don't they make that instead of fuckin kylo/rey/finn? I do like the 40th 3.75 die cast because I like figurines like tin toy soldiers, but again...I want normal action figures in 3.75 with 14 POA and hopefully they will be old republic characters/expanded universe or even the movies....I think they don't fuckin realize that no one resonates with Kylo/Rey or Finn, they are just 1 dimensional characters that act as if they are in their fuckin puberty

[@NUFCMVFC]

Darth Durkel yeah to add to convo, only thing to save the brand now is an Old Republic Revan tv series or something. But part of me doesen't want to see that wrecked by Disney OP Bastila into a feminist icon

[@jordanpowell2242]

[@jimc7022]

It’s sad. The SJW’s pushing for a girl target audience/toy buyers don’t get it. Little Girls couldn’t care less about Star Wars! My daughter and her friends didn’t even want to see the movie but my two sons were dying to see it. My sons wanted Star Wars toys for x-mass but my daughter and her friends didn’t ask for a single Star Wars toy. I asked her if any girls in her school talk about SW or play games where they pretend to be Rey...etc and she said “no way”. She likes all your typical girls stuff. Barbie, Lego friends, used to like Monster High dolls...etc. she likes American girl doll, cloths, and purses. Star Wars doesn’t even register on her radar.

[@c-hawkins1150]

The toys came from China. :)

[@youngsmitty347]

C -HAWKINS Who the fuck even wants a Rose action figure?

[@geoffreyharris5682]

I can tell you a few reasons why this is not moving. The main reason is that Disney inadvertently and deliberately alienated the hard core fans who have the money and inclination to buy this sort of stuff and catered to the casual fans and general audiences who generally do not. The hard core fans wanted to see the new republic on the rise, the empire in retreat and Luke training jedi and being a hero and a mentor. They wanted the EU in, clone wars maintained, LA not EA making the games, and did not want the rebels etc shows. By damaging Han's character and destroying Luke's Disney, KK, and RJ really turned a lot of folks off. Also KK made the mistake of catering to the sensitivities of some fools bu weakening the GE character. They should have left her more petulant and ballsy. KK should have left RO dark and character driven. Disney has made wrong decisions, logically, thematically, historically, and morally by the standards of those who know and value SW. In so doing they have trashed the collectible and memorabilia and resale markets that are run by exactly the sort of middle-aged middle class white men with $100,000's that Disney and KK deliberately disregarded, disrespected, outright insulted, alienated, and drove away.

Do you ever feel your heart break as see the franchise you grew up with slowly rot away and go senile ? I remember begging my dad to take me to the toy aisle and to by the newest clone trooper (I was born in 2000 and I latched onto the prequels). Now, I intentionally avoid the Star Wars aisle because it feels like I’m looking at a shell of a former idol.

[@johannbachmeer4684]

All things have to die, why, (OT but relevant in light of it) I loved Pokemon and Mario/Nintendo, (playing the first three generations of Pokemon and Mario on the N64) though seeing what they are nowadays in light of their golden era is saddening (There was a time when Mario's name was everywhere and Mario merchandise out your arse, likewise with Pokemon) now there is next to no merchandise (especially of Mario) and Pokemon is now too complex though I was born in 1990.

Scratch that--TWO WALLS! And at no time at all in any day I've been at the register has a customer ever come up to buy a Star Wars related toy, or book, or clothing! The only things they ever buy with Star Wars on it is the pre-made salad bags with Kylo Ren stamped on the front, glaring at me. I don't know whether to laugh my ass off while getting shit-faced drunk, or crying miserably over the fate of my favorite sci-fi franchise ever...again, while getting shit-faced drunk! Even through Christmas, no one, NOT ONE PERSON, bought a single Star Wars related item! Except, again, the pre-made salad bags...

[@MotoroidARFC]

Frank the NOOB. yup. I got the Hot Wheels Silencer but nothing else from the movie. I still pick up some of the vehicles from the older movies and when I see a character I am interested in in the Black Series, I get it. Doesn't happen often though because the shelf warmers take up space. I almost missed Commander Gree due to that. He was the last character I got. The little figures are worthless. Nowhere as good as the ones available when ROTS was out but just as expensive. The really expensive stuff I don't even bother with.

They made a big thing about those 'salt speeders' (or whatever they're called) in the trailers etc. But they were absolutely useless and that battle scene was pointless.

[@mewtwo.150]

The problen is that George Lucas did all what he did because he wanted to tell stories, even if people liked them or not, I grew with the prequels and they had something new to bring, as you said awesome planets, more interesting characters, new ships. But Disney went straight to get $$$ all the "alien planets" are the same as the old trilogy (same as ships) and the new ones are like landscapes you see on Earth. I remember when episode 3 came even before it did, ALL the toys were sold, I couldnt even get the one I wanted, but thats the difference, the reason why you do something, 1) because you like it, or 2) you just want to get money of it. And these unsold toys are the perfect example.

the fat mechanic with a bad haircut

[@Starwaker]

sir joj long Because most of Prequels characters look interesting, unlike new ones. Would you rather have a figure of ginger dude Hux, or tattooed Zabraak Darth Maul? Emo Ren or Kaleesh cyborg Grievous? Easy choice. Even freaking Nute Gunray looks interesting and is an alien in a bigger role (antagonist of Ep.1) something that new films are lacking (having only Maz and Snoke who's dead now and looked just like a deformed human). Old characters who were just humans like protagonists, or Mace, Tarkin, Dooku and such, commanded respect and were badass, while new human characters suck. Hux is a Spaceballs reject. Same for EU/Legends figures. Darth Revan and Jaina Solo (daughter of Han and Leia) won fan's choice, so they were made. When Ben Skywalker (Luke's son) was winning, those a-holes just decided to ignore the vote. That's because people who read books like Jaina more than Rey, and Ben Skywalker more than Ben Solo, and Revan simply kicks ass, and they are part of great stories, unlike new half-assed characters.

This is probably the only time I'm happy to be a grown up, these toys are just shit. Such better quality toys when we were kids. Something I've been complaining about for years is the decline in quality of Lego sets, specifically the star wars ones. Admittedly, I don't know how Lego and Disney do their business together, but I remember the sets being very open ended when I was younger. They encouraged creativity. Sets now are full of niche bricks and specific parts that can only be used in that set. I also rant about unnecessary remakes if old designs. I know it's a ploy for more sales, but I would drop SO MUCH cash to get classic sets, like the FIRST millennium falcon, not this fourth (I think) redesign. There have been something like six xwing models and they just get dumber and dumber. Anyway, keep up the good work, bullshitters.

Dylan Floodeen can you give me some background on the decline of LEGO sets??? I haven’t used them in a while and used to be a huge fan.

Dylan Floodeen I whole heartedly agree. Toys nowadays are crap and it's not quality. Toys may have been less flashy in my day, but they lasted longer and the makers took pride in their workmanship.

I remember as a kid growing up in a small town in Ontario we had a small Wal-Mart that devoted an entire small isle to Star Wars around the time of episode one. It was there for YEARS. They finally cleaned it out in 2003.
