Last Jedi wasn’t good but it’s problems were more to due with plot holes, dumb character choices, randomly forced love plots, and Luke just kind of dying randomly


I’m sure none of those issues were related to picking writers and establishing an agenda based on social programming.

And it would get bought by someone just like them so I really don't care. They can't even hire cast/writers/crew that do not hate the source material.


The US doesn't have anyone capable of bringing star wars back that would even be allowed to get involved.

It will find it's way into the hands of another cocktail party Uber progressive entity that will slather thr story in feminism and then try to dump cheap trinkets on kids.

Mandalorian revived star wars imo.


No it didn't.

It represented a small sliver of the traditional star wars tone we all wanted but very quickly regressed into the vagina monologues like pretty much every star wars content release from video games to movies to stream shows.

do you not understand how commas work? or sentences in general.

that is still part of the "consumers' perceptions" sentence.

they were stating that some consumers perceive that their position on matters of public interest include efforts to achieve certain environmental and social goals specifically.


I’m going to chime in on this as something of a grammar nerd. After the comma you have a reduced non-essential adjectival clause, which should always follow immediately after the noun being described. In this case that would potentially be “our environmental and social goals,” but could also be read as “consumer’s’ perceptions of our position.” The writer fricked up writing an unclear sentence. The possessive “our” occurring twice as it does makes it more understandable as describing our goals. I have no idea what was intended, but grammatically speaking, both are possible.

In either reading, it does say clearly that there are efforts on Disney’s behalf to achieve some goals.

Further, my perception of JetsetNuggs' position on matters of public interest, including his efforts to achieve certain of his environmental and social goals, often differ widely and present risks …


Your example here actually has the same ambiguity.

Yet it doesnt mention politics at all which is funny because when Jetset posted it he was using it as proof they admitted to the sec in court to "pushing politics"

When the actual statement is ambiguous to admitting anything and doesnt specify political goals at all. Social goals is pretty vague.

Absolutely correct. Just my grammar fetish coming out.

The use of perception says it all. Dumbasses view Disney as some monolithic pillar of far left ideation. Only mouth breathing trolls fall for that simplistic call to arms from those who love their entire life through nasty sociopolitical lenses.

Disney is in the business of making as much cash as humanly possible as a corporate entity and will align to whatever position is both palatable to the shareholders and the largest number of marketable consumers. To think otherwise separates the sane from the insane.

What’s hilarious in this rabid Disney Wars debate from the cult of MAGA is that Disney arguably didn’t go “woke” enough.

They reduced their interesting black storm trooper into a running joke garbage man and then erased him from the plot to appeal to China’s racist audiences (an attempt to generate as much $$$ as possible) and as a result killed their most compelling plot idea. And the rest of the Disney sequel squealed its way along into foul diarrhea no one in any side wanted. Then they filled the shite bowl up more with Acolyte from the Weinstein secretary in a failed effort again, to expand into the LGBTQ pockets for more money before realizing no one wanted it and cancelled it.

And the only way to really blame is megalomaniac KK who knows where all the skeletons are buried. I don’t even think she wants to ruin SW per se. I just think she’s a narcissist that has long thought she could do a better job than George and the world has learned when she has ultimate power, damn near everything she touches is shite.

But no. The most simple answer isn’t correct. Disney just wants social programming to turn everyone into a gay or a tranny and undo poor innocent Christian fundamentals and laugh at their victim complex.

You overlooked the biggest factor, its impossible for the mass idiots to see anything with nuance. It's much easier to shove everything you encounter into a box of good or bad, especially when you dont have much brainpower to spare.

Only potential buyers with enough money are Apple, Amazon, or Netflix. Not sure they'd be better.


Apple puts out some decent stuff with less woke ideology than the other two. I'm not saying it's zero, but it isn't as prevalent or browbeating as the other two. Apple could buy this IP, put Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni and charge, leave it alone and just count cash.

Agreed. I think this is why none of this would actually happen. It’s one of the better and busier parts of Hollywood Studios. Star Wars ain’t leaving the mouse for a while


If this is true, I'd assume they can sell only the moviemaking rights, or they could sell the whole IP with a licensing agreement back to them for the theme park.

There is no confusion, but a ton of strained knighting

Not a chance in hell that Disney sells off Star Wars. Even as much as Disney has screwed up, its still one of the most valuable IPs in the world and those don’t come along often. Plus they have too much invested in the theme parks to lose control over the future of Star Wars, even if the proposed sale left Disney with all the theme park rights. They can print money on merchandising (in parks and at normal retail) or licensing for video games without ever having to produce new series or films. If Disney were ever selling off Star Wars, it would have to be because the company was in really dire financial straits.
