Can the worst of Star Wars survive the best of it's fans? Apparently not.

They put out something great with Andor, and it was mostly ignored.

The Andor apathy, and the only occasional, begrudging acknowledgement that it's good, suggests this fanbase is more interested than bitching about things than it is a show that "doesn't suck."

You are not the best of the Star Wars fans. If you wake up thinking about gayness and go to bed thinking about gayness, you are a gay man or woman. Normal people dont care about that shite.

Someone doesn’t like the fact the board thinks he is trash.

You are not the board. You are not remotely interesting. You are a bitch's bitch and as such your opinion has no value.

Hey man, I am just taking out the trash. It’s not a fun job, but someone has to do it.
Why do you persist in this act? You are clearly an alter. You come almost exclusively to Acolyte threads to troll and then play reasonable. You call people names and then whine about being a victim. You epitomize the worst of this board. Move on. Nobody is buying it.

Nobody here bestowed upon you the right to speak for the entire board. This type of false group think is central to your bs philosophy you are poluting this board with. You and your fellow bot farmers with your pseudo masculine takes here are truly pathetic. Do not address anyone here on behalf of the board ever again.

If you thought you could make the next great Star Wars iteration, but you knew that your project could be lambasted simply for casting a person of color, is that where you would invest your time?


Good point. Not like the original trilogy had Lando Calrissian.

Assert yourself baby girl. It makes you really tough. For real.

The board has taken notice that you are not to be messed with. I think I speak for everyone on this.


ETA

ETA 2: I forgot to mention that you are an alter.

Notice how it’s fine for him to label the entire board but you’re not allowed to speak for it’s defense? This is common with the type, hypocrisy is a necessity for him because in a fair and honest discussion he’s a loser 100% of the time.

He also loves to label everyone ist-phobes but has no problem using pejorative, homosexual slurs to attack people. This guy is your typical, propaganda soaked hypocrite who doesn’t believe in any of the weaponized language he constantly uses. He’s a fraud.

who determines what’s real Star Wars?
In a free market economy, consumers determine winners and losers

So the only correct answer is "the fans"

Having a person, entity, or company demand you like something irrespective of all else is activism disguised as marketing. Disney calling fans sexists before the show dropped (and before the alleged "review bombing") is an example of this. "Star Wars fans are sexists and bigots" The insinuation being that you can prove you are not a bigot by falling in line with their activism.

The problem is you have activist factions within Disney that are willing to sacrifice brands for their activist aims. Star Wars will likely be a casualty of the lefties' culture war.

Marvel seems to at least want to course correct, but Star Wars just wants to double down on that which keeps failing in service of messaging and/or grooming (but not the kid fricking kind. . . .well. . .yet).

It gained audience with every episode, in direct contrast to Acolyte, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka.

It wasn't marketed well, and the first 2 episodes were a bit of a slog.

But it was truly great

I have little faith in Disney, so I am gritting my teeth as I await season 2.

Can Disney make a season of a show today without the usual bullshite messaging?

I have my doubts. The last show they did this year had no overt messaging focus, X-Men '97. . .and they were so incensed they fired the writer/showrunner for his trouble.
