It's truly amazing how far Disney has managed to cheapen Star Wars.

Obi Wan vs. Vader fight should be a summer blockbuster.

Every writer is weak and woke. It's a damn shame what they're doing to this franchise.

Everyone has their own opinion. Obi Wan wasn't that great of a 6 episode show to me...Mantoloking and Boba fett even the bad batch were better shows that had more depth

People with common sense knew when Disney bought it, they were going to suck every ounce of life out of it.

What used to make Star Wars cool was how controlled and mysterious it was. Now it’s pure money grab and social justice nonsense.

Too be fair, after what Lucas did with the prequels, I was glad at the time.

I didn't see the politics at that moment in time.

The premise should’ve been a $1B grossing movie. It blows my mind how badly Disney continues to fumble this franchise.

It's a homerun sitting on a tee.I could write a better script outline on a napkin in 30 minutes.

Star Wars isn't special anymore. It sustains itself solely off nostalgia from when it was special. It won't be an IP anyone gives a shite about in another 20-30 years.

Disney has made Star Wars into an artistic dirt farm.

Star Wars is always special. We just have a bunch of corporate fricks raping it.

My hope is that one day we'll make this shite non-canon and pretend it doesn't exist.

The original trilogy was special (and some stuff in the extended universe but only super fans know about most of that).

At this point there is way more bad Star Wars content than good

Star Wars is basically in line to become the next Simpsons.

A decade of glory followed by another 20-30 years of shite.

The people doing mental gymnastics to make sense of it crack me up

Even I can’t defend what they’re putting out and I’m a staunch defender of the prequels

Jurassic Park fricked Lucas up.

He got extremely lazy when he saw what could be done with cgi.

Had he been forced to make the films like he did in the 70s and 80s, we would have gotten better films.

Disney hasn’t just ‘ruined’ Star Wars.

They’ve raped it, shite on it, pissed on it, set it on fire, and buried it.

What was woke about Obi Wan? I’m not even sure there was a lesbian couple in it. It was a decent show, but nothing special. I was high on it at first, but now that it’s over I was kind of “meh” at the end.

He has had nothing to do with Star Wars since the prequels

SW is practically patient zero for franchising , so you couldn’t be more wrong here. The amount of merchandise sold was astounding for the time.

Even into years after the originals, the Ewok spinoff, the Extended Universe books that were churned out, the video games, the Dark Horse Comics, etc.

After the prequels, they had the Clone Wars, Rebels was in development, etc.
That’s not control, at all.
