I think it was always going to feel very disappointing picking up the OT 40 years later.

I also think it makes sense that the best Disney properties have been unrelated to the original characters.

Took the kids to see a matinee today and it was a very fun summer popcorn movie. We all really enjoyed it

I was surprised how fast it went and the action. Loved the Blade style soundtrack.

It was exactly what I thought it would be. No more no less

I'm not familiar with this character but I think this guy neatly summarized the present behaviors of Disney and the different groups of Star Wars fans.

It does seem explanatory for the last ten years under Disney

I saw it last night. It was fun, and had some neat easter eggs. I liked seeing the Int-4 and Amani aliens. The battle droids all looked awesome.

“Toxic” newspeak propaganda term. It has no real meaning

Newspeak is always meant as the opposite of what it is right. If you don’t consume slop which is toxic you’re labeled as toxic. It’s a tactically used term

I agree with some of what he said. They are so many old school fanboys that despise anything Disney that already know they will hate anything they put out.

Of course there are “some” that have just written it off but you could say the same after the prequel trilogy. The point being it’s too small a number to even cause a ripple. Acting as if there’s this huge number of pre Disney fans that hate anything Disney Star Wars makes was disproven with Andor, TFA and Rouge One. The reason Disney Star Wars has failed is because they make shite.

Toxic = woke

They made their bed and now they must lie in it. It's nobody's fault but their own.

Interesting article

Despite the crowded marketplace (Backrooms, Disclosure Day, Masters of the Universe), The Mandalorian & Grogu swept into the top 10 streaming sales charts in over 50 countries. More impressively, it claimed the #1 spot for digital movie sales on Apple TV in the U.S. while battling Disclosure Day for the top two positions on Prime Video in the U.S.

quote:

Beyond home video sales, physical merchandise and toy lines are proving that the brand’s consumer pull remains massive. The first indicator came during opening weekend, when AMC Theatres confirmed that The Mandalorian & Grogu themed merchandise achieved the third-highest total merch sales of any film in the theater chain’s history.

quote:

That momentum has since extended across global retail channels. In their latest Q2 earnings report, toy giant Hasbro explicitly singled out The Mandalorian & Grogu as the single largest contributor to revenue growth within their Consumer Products segment. The quarter’s results demonstrate that demand for physical collectibles stayed strong well beyond the initial theater push, proving that strong digital momentum and merchandise ecosystems continue to carry the film’s long-term profitability.
