Firespray
WTF?!

Progressives are morons. Not only is it stupid to change the name of Slave I, they go with Firespray as the new name. Who is coming up with this nonsense?

I actually hope that China's new censorship policy crushes the entertainment industry.

Even fictional universes are subject to critical race theory dogmatism. I won't consume another Disney star wars product and I will never even mention star wars to younger kids. It's going to end up a Frankenstein of activist demands.

The activists never stop demanding. Ever. I hope they run Disney into the ground.

Just part of Disney's Reimagine Tomorrow.

Dont worry, you soon wont care anymore. Disney will completely ruin all of your favorite franchises, which means you can move on from pop culture and get new hobbies.

Fishing is always good. I also recommend Mountain Biking for the great exercise and alot of fun as well.

The one property they had that they hadn't fricked up, they will ruin.

I guarantee this is one of the reasons Kathleen Kennedy was retained, even following her disastrous run as head of the franchise. Hope China bankrupts these people.

They could have at least named it something awesome like Shadowrider or Forcebreaker, but they went with a poo renaming.

It is staggering how much they fricked up this property. Even the prequels couldn’t frick up the OT, but they’ve done it now. I used to have the feeling of ecstasy watching the OT, but i rewatched Empire a few weeks ago and it’s now all gone. I still enjoy it, but all the epicness is now vanished. I can watch Lord of the Rings and still get that feeling, but not this.

Not for long friend. Amazon will soon ruin your LOTR memories with their woke reimagining of that world.

This Woke garbage turns everything to shite.

Tolkien didn’t write it and Jackson has nothing to do with it, so I’ll be able to separate it. They’re going to frick up Avatar with wokeness as well, but so long as the writers of the animated universe keep it grounded in sanity going forward (granted they’re getting even bigger projects thrown at them than Matt and Trey from South Park), then I’ll be able to separate that as well.

Yeah, I just think Lord of the Rings is that good that it can’t be ruined. If Jackson was doing this series, then yes it could be (which is why I think Avatar is not immune from this), but The Lord of the Rings is basically perfect save for maybe leaving out the Scouring of the Shire, which I think they would have filmed if they knew how successful the Extended Editions would be. Just skip the scene where the Hobbits return to the Shire in the theatrical release and go straight to the Green Dragon where Sam approaches Rosie and you’re good.

Lotta dumb count in this thread that hopefully aren’t claiming to be all that knowledgeable about SW.


At worst, Disney can be accused of laziness in “re-naming” Slave 1, but they didn’t just pull it out of their asses. The slave 1 is literally a Firespray-31-Class Patrol and Attack Prototype.

Answer this: Why did Disney change the name? Nobody cares about the new name or where it comes from. The reasons they used to change the name is why they don't like it.

So they took something unique a day made it "generic." Still a bad move.

I'm separating it by not watching a second of it. That's the same thing I did with the oft rumored Fourth Indiana Jones movie and that Han Solo movie I heard about a few years ago...

Because the word "slave" gives people the sads.

There is no other reason.
