Obviously they don't understand why people love Star Wars. If they did, they'd sell nothing but action figures of Luke milking the space cow.

[@geoffreyharris5682]

Some people think he masturbated that creature and drank its jizz

[@JK-Visions]

lol

[@stevenbrule5285]

+Geoffrey Harris Haha, it did look a bit like that. It's sad that even if he did drink its jizz, it wouldn't ruin Luke's character much more than they already did.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@bronzeage4579]

You do realize that the Last Jedi and the Force Awakens sold more tickets than any other Star Wars movie, right? Of course you don't.

[@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]

If the toys were cheaper, people might be slightly more willing to buy some. But like 10 to 30 dollars for trash toys? Get outta here!

[@geoffreyharris5682]

I will tell you what it was. It was an insult by Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson to the fans, the characters, the actors, and Star Wars itself. I am very sorry that your son had to be subjected to this vicious attack as well. Have him see a good movie, A New Hope, from 1977. :)

[@Starwaker]

Flo grown manny Get the "Thrawn Trilogy" by Timothy Zahn instead (Heir To The Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command). It starts 5 years after Ep.6, many call it real Ep.7-9. It's part of pre-Disney canon, now Legends, where heroes didn't become spineless losers and had more interesting stories. This video here briefly tells about Luke's New Jedi Order from"Legends" continuity. Take a look, and compare: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5uYfZiZe7yad9E

[@adamsmith8765]

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.

I work at Meijer's as a cashier. Every day I go in, I pass the toy section of the store and see dolls, swords, Nerf guns, and an entire wall dedicated to Star Wars merchandise. 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...

[@Starwaker]

I buy only pre-Disney canon stuff, and I do it on eBay, stores are filled with new lame merchandise, let it rot there. I remember approaching and asking a question to one seller of SW figures, who had loads of Finns, Reys and so on.

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.

And the toys were brightly colored and fun and the worlds in the movie were incredible! What is appealing about the new trilogy? What's fun for kids other than porgs?

[@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.

[@pytko3]

The only girl action figures I wanted to play with when I was little were Storm from the X-Men and Telia from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. That's because I thought the characters were cool.

[@victorfatalys1076]

Since the franchise is now controled by "feminists" who say male fans don't matter, why don't they sell toys for women exclusively ?

[@mrkrinkle72]

Here's an old tale from an old man, in the hot summer of 1978 I vividly remember sitting in the back of an LTD, sweaty thighs stuck to the vinyl driving home staring at the first SW figure I ever got. The baddie Vader! Momma said "you can wait till you get home to open it" God it killed me! But damn the smell of the plastic when i finally opened it! The sweetest rush, never duplicated! And it's a crime these cash grabbers robbed this generation of that same feeling with these deadpan, badly acted pieces of poop!!

[@nimblehuman]

My first four were Luke, Leia, Chewie and R2-D2 from the Early Bird pack. Totally agree that the new stuff is just a soulless cash grab and I haven't bought any new Star Wars stuff from any of the new movies. The new movies ruined the old action figures too. I was 5 when the original came out in 1977, guess that makes me an old man too, and certainly no longer the target audience of the new movies.

[@Travis-lk1fh]

Forces of Destiny dolls at my local Walmart are $5 on clearance and they're still not selling.

[@Legomanarthur]

I used to collect Star Wars figures before the new movies, they were good looking and well articulated. Now they all have 5 points of articulation and they look so bland, no wonder why no one buys them.

[@Jtriggers]

Is It just me or does Rose look like she loses and gains weight every time I see her, sorta like she's like Jonah Hill??????

[@kybercat7]

that's because shes Darth Ja-Ja Binks in a human fat suit. It shifts around evrey time he puts it on.

[@ElectricVisionStudios]

[@earnthis1]

[@SteveBrandon]

I remember some Star Wars stuff getting "Clearanced" when I was a kid in the mid-1980s, but it was usually the Droids spin-off cartoon stuff that didn't sell at the time (but which is now worth big bucks on eBay because of the obscurity of the toy sub-franchise).

[@Ultizer]

No shit, i wish we had star wars clearances when i was a kid, they were always expensive & the best ones out of stock.

[@kenkaneki3873]

I have to say I don't think it's only Disney Star Wars fault these don't sell. It's the fact that they are overpriced as hell. As someone who was a Lego enthusiast as a kid and now only somewhat still interested in it, They were always pricey as hell. Want a spider walker with 3 figures? Well that's 40 bucks please. However don't get me wrong it's also because nobody wants these toys to begin with but the price doesn't make it any better which was my point.

[@jiggajigjones8210]

Ken Kaneki agreed.

[@metadude1234]

Before Disney, a vintage collection figure would cost me between $13-15... now it's $15 for a 5poa, and $25 for something similar to the vintage collection, and $39 for the 6inch version.

[@kenkaneki3873]

GimpedLoco So Disney made them cost even more? What a horrible business strategy. It's almost like they are in denial that the people who would buy their toys don't like the new Star Wars. Oh wait-

[@metadude1234]

I bought quite a few things for TFA because I thought the direction was solid - TLJ made me regret purchases I made for the new movie and has made me agree to never buy anything from the new Disney movies unless it's an OT or PT character like Boba Fett, Han Solo, Anakin, etc.

[@kenkaneki3873]

GimpedLoco I actually feel the same way. I'm one of the people who didn't mind TFA with it's flaws. And I have to say it's really damn ironic when a JJ movie pushes less feminist agenda then Rians movie. Like fuck he wasn't even hiding the agenda pushing. JJ was atleast subtle about it besides Rey being a Mary Sue, which btw TLJ purpose was to explain WHY she is so damn OP. Not say she is a nobody and then up her being OP times ten. It's just... ugh TLJ is such a mess of stupid decision that favour agenda over story telling.

[@OleCrankyGamer]

Rogue One, watched it once. The ending with Darth Vader, watched it 5 times...then realized how stupid it made the opening scenes of SW a New Hope

[@jacobsoltero2872]

1,977 - 2,012 Life of Star Wars. I hope it will rise one day again. If disney gets out of the S.W. business and sells the franchise. Maybe I think then when all Disney Wars cannon is dead, gone and forgotten. Maybe then Star Wars will have a chance to be something special again.

[@theonemasterwarhero]

The last type of star wars figures I bought were the 2012 vintage collection after that I gave up on newer stuff afterwards...cause of quality...still buy all the other stuff before that though even the 90s kenner figures. :) I feel these were the best star wars figure lines Power of the force 2006 saga collection 30th anniversary Vintage collection (articulated figures)

[@ArrowValley]

The new movies are not Star Wars movies. They are Disney fan fiction.

[@mewtwo.150]

Arrow Valley, not even fan made, cuz fan would had made something good. Disney is just milking what used to be a big name, thats it.

[@carom1]

Yeah, Disney Wars is more like a Tumblr fanfic with self inserts.

[@ketchupkatsup9805]

Arrow Valley nope. Force Awakens and Last Jedi were both taken from George Lucas's ideas. He came up with a young orphan girl with Force powers, although he named her Kira, JJ changed it to Rey. Lucas's idea to have Luke as a hermit who abandoned the Jedi way and be an outcaste on an island after one of his pupils betrays him. His idea to have a downfall of Jedi temples. He was very much involved at the beginning to set story ideas out. Even though Disney rejected his other ideas, they used his main stuff.

[@JarJarBinks4ever]

Wut? Mark Hamill said that Lucas' original ideas for Luke were better. Mark Hamill only signed on thinking Lucas would be making them. Even if that was true, the new movies are still shitty fanfiction, as they retconn decades worth of Star Wars stories.

[@JarJarBinks4ever]

Lucas' orignal 6-part Star Wars saga + the EU > Disney

[@Bayan1905]

I was a kid when the original trilogy came out, and only one kid that I knew had a lot of stuff, because even back in the 80's, it was expensive. One kid, whose parents were loaded, bought him everything, but he didn't play with any of it. He put it all on display and had every figure and toy they made. Most of us had a few things and some figures. But the one thing I remember is that pretty much whenever you went to the store, there were two toy stores in our area, the shelves were bare most of the time, I remember trying to buy some figures with my allowance money and you were always stuck with the crappiest characters, they could never sell the Bespin guy with the headpiece from Empire Strikes Back that was in all of two scenes, him and the AT-ST driver. The rest, was hit and miss. Even after ROTJ was out and for a while later on, they were still in demand. The only stuff that never sold, anything from Droids. But to see the lot of stuff from TLJ on the shelves, no one likes these movies, no one wanted this stuff. I got my 8 year old a couple things, but I waited until Walmart put Force Awakens and Rogue One stuff on clearance, got the large Tie Striker for $20 new, got a few figures really cheap, but I can also get this stuff really cheap online. I wonder if the money they spent on Star Wars was what did in Toys R US once and for all.

[@Anoneeemouse]

[@Awe5omegamer64]

The biggest trouble that Disney Star Wars has is that almost no one can relate to these new characters, aside from feminists going for Rey, but Princess Leia from the OT is a better character by far, so fans would only go to these films to see the original characters, but if they keep killing them off and making the new characters stand out above the original characters, then nobody is going to want to see these new SJW films.

[@KosaiAvonej]

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.

[@guyedwards4711]

[@EpicMrBlack6869]

The exact same story over here in Blighty. Every single large toy store has piles and piles of unsold overpriced plastic Star Wars shit. The small local toy shops have practically stopped stocking them, bar the small figures and other small runs of stuff that they seem to shift pretty well.

[@TyranusRex721]

I hope you did not mess up the toy section too much. I work at a retail store and I got to tell you, I despise it when a costumer messes up a section and I have to go clean it up. On topic, none of these toys excite me at all. None of these characters excite me either. I shelled out good money for a Darth Revan Black Series figure because it was Darth FUCKING Revan! One of the most badass Star Wars characters of all time. I want to find a Dooku one too and I hope they make a Mara Jade and General Grievous figure too because I would buy both in a heart beat. Those characters were awesome because they actually did something that affected the Star Wars universe. All of the new characters are just bland and designed to appeal to a wide audience in the hopes that people will like them...and it is not working.

[@geoffreyharris5682]

I Want Mara Jade THAT WAY. Damn that is one hot powerful sexy bitch.

[@Starwaker]

TyranusRex721 Got Revan too, also got Jaina Solo. Ben Skywalker might have won the last Hasbro voting if those KennedyFilms a-holes didn't decide to ignore EU/Legends votes.

[@SPTX.]

You're out of luck for mara jade. She was made non-canon by disney and they don't want to deal with that stuff, and since they're those who issue the licenses. Well you're fucked.

[@puzzlebawce795]

TyranusRex721 I'm going to go to every toy section I see from now on and throw all the star wars toys on the floor. Good luck.

[@Starwaker]

TyranusRex721 There are 3.75" Mara Jade figures, including black series, you can find (most likely online, saw it on eBay). J Rex Ether you're joking, or it's that bad in terms of you having nothing to do with your life time O_o

[@villie86]

I would like to have a Alpha A-17, Darth Revan, Quinlan Vos and Darth Bane figure btw. I would give legitimate money for that. Or the Delta Squad/Omega Squad figures.

[@BumTheGame]

I feel like the superhero Marvel movies are the SW for this generation. We had SW, they have Avengers. Of course, there are kids who love SW but not as many as say 20 years ago. On top of that this awkward Disney push toward women certainly isn't helping the brand.

[@Daniel-415-Ponce]

The boring, politically correct, cheap-looking, overpriced garbage in ugly garish packaging being passed off as Star Wars toys these days sure is a far cry from what was available only a few years ago as well as when I was a little kid who actually wanted to have every single new Star Wars toy that was released. Thinking back on how exciting and cool it felt, for example, when I received the Sears catalog exclusive Star Wars Cantina Action Figure Playset (yes, the one with the blue Snaggletooth character), or when I sent away for the advance mail order exclusive action figure of a mysterious new character called Boba Fett with a rocket-firing jetpack, and then contrasting those experiences with the sight of all those lame Rose action figures nobody wants and the Rey "girl power" accessory sets with the Disneyfied cartoon character imagery on the packaging, just makes me want to puke.

[@lucaswells933]

Daniel Ponce Lego Star Wars is still cool

[@TheSmitty0016]

I remember growing up and going to Toys R Us and picking up a few clones (501st, Kashyyyk, Clone Marines, and even the Airborne figures) with the money from my summer job. Never did save enough for the Republic Gun Ship though...good times!

[@albedo5455]

What's the soundtrack called?

[@brianfuller5868]

I went recently with a group to several stores. The signs promote Rey, Finn and Poe. My niece thought all three were lame and asked where Luke was. There was a lot of Rogue 1 which no one buys. No One Buys!!!Truth, there was some buzz about TFA, some with Rogue 1 and none with TLJ. Forced Diversity ,really uninspired merchandise and stories that broke the Lore all contribute.

[@geoffreyharris5682]

Does she believe in the real Luke from the OT? :) :) :) I live in hope. The sequels were just evil propaganda put out by the Sith Lordess Krackhead Kennedy and not real Star Wars/

[@thenewrad]

“The face of a dying franchise” 😂😂classic. So true.

[@unhelpfulrevelations7989]

When we first found out that Disney bought Star Wars, we knew that the merchandise was gonna suffer. It's just one of the things we signed up for. Don't act so surprised.

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

As a personal way of protesting rey, kylo ren, snoke, rose, first order stormtroopers, Solo movie figures, etc., I place them at the back of the hook and place Luke, Leia, Chewie, other classic trilogy and Rogue One figures in front. I've done this in multiple stores and more often than not when I return to the store days or weeks later the figures are in the same place.

[@skiderrunner]

This is a wonderful birthday present! Thank you WorldClassBullshitters!

[@ericsbuds]

[@ClydeStroker]

In Fort Worth so one just opened a Star Wars only toy store called Hollocron. It's got a lot of classic toys like a jawa for $20k. They are in a really good spot near downtown. I wonder how long they will stay open only selling Star War merchandise.

[@newworlddisorder156]

RIP Star Wars.

[@trmblingblustar]

To be fair, we don't know how many of these things are being sold unless we work in a store. There could be overstock, or things being restocked right away. I don't know. NM, you did address this. However, there is still a glut of SW merchandise. I don't remember SW ever having it's own isle at stores, much less 2-4 of them. The Rey Bratz figure at 5:20 is disturbing.

[@alexgriffin3959]

Really heart broken to see Star Wars slowly and steadily dying. I played with Star Wars toys in the early eighties and was so excited to have a Millennium Falcon one Xmas, even though my Mum and Dad couldn't afford it. Such a shame that today's Disney agenda first Star Wars just don't connect with kids because they've done away with the timeless themes that made the OT (and even the Prequels) great

[@nuclearjanitors]

[@guccimalcs]

I used to collect the galactic heros figures as a kid and my dad collected the actual figures. I made over 400 dollars when I sold mine years ago and my dad made over 5,000 selling his all separately on eBay. If there was a Star Wars toy, he had it lol. He even had the all grey snow speeder which he ended up painting himself. Now look at the Star Wars shelves. It’s quite sad if you ask me. Kids won’t feel the excitement that I felt as a kid with my dad when we’d get to then store and see figures we didn’t have. That’s lost now

[@tHeWasTeDYouTh]

I used to work for Target back in 2015 when TFA came out. I really did not see that many Rey toys but I remember a lot of the stuff not selling. The star wars section was really meh I know that the LEGO STAR WARS stuff did sell a lot more. Quit target so I do not know what is going on today but yeah. Fuck Disney!

[@planetg2125]

why wouldn’t they have just made a trilogy based on legends the way cbm’s sift through comic books and craft stories based on characters and story beats. It’s so easy for SW to make good films based on existing material. Kathleen Kennedy has no plan and no concept of how films are made

[@geoffreyharris5682]

cbm? They should have used the Grand Admiral Thrawn series. We wanted to see Mara Jade and the Solo kids.

[@TokugawaPatrick]

Mark, Carrie and Harrison would have been way too old for the Thrawn trilogy now. They could have made episode 7 around 45 ABY and thus after Troy Dennings "Crucible", the chronologically last EU book. This way they would still have creative freedom and Mark would have been 1:1 Lukes age (atleast in 2015)...

[@kittylactose]

The articulation on the 3 3/4 inch figurines have gone fucking down hill. They don't even come with joints anymore. I remember around 2006/2007 when the Episode III figures came out and the Halo 3 figures, they had joints and reasonable articulation to where you can pose them holding a weapon in a somewhat realistic fashion. Nowadays....just non-fucking existent.
