KK was already co-chair of Lucasfilm when Lucas sold to Disney. She’s been working with Lucas and Spielberg on major projects for decades so she has the job mainly because Lucas likely insisted on it.

Because outrage is considered cool on social media.



10,000 reviews and an abysmal 14% rating is just some sort of social media virtue signaling?

I find it funny that you find issue with people taking issue with a film dynasty ruined by woke politics. Yet on the flip side, not a single one of you took issue with a company degrading that same film dynasty for woke points.

Maybe you can explain to us why the antagonists in this scenario are the people upset with a good film turned to shite over woke, and not the people that turned the good film to shite?

Perhaps showrunners and actors of these movies/shows should refrain from making these press tours glamorizing their destruction of a franchise they had nothing to do with establishing and stick to making entertainment.

If they want to make lesbian space witch shows, they should start their own franchise.

They have no one to blame but themselves.

These shows are horrible. They deserve hate watching.

I might watch this if they made it. Let's call it Space Hoes Coast to Coast.

I'm legitimately curious why people keep watching... like we're in year 9 of mediocre KK Star Wars and apparently everyone is still watching. Just give it up, it's done; been done.


This, I just don't consume.

then I saw the interviews given by the nasty female director & the confused star who doesn't know which bathroom to use and they explicitly stated that they felt it wasn't a show for white males who were lifelong SW fans.
You would think share holders would be revolting over statements coming out like this and calling for the ouster of every executive involved in green lighting the show.

Your company bought arguably the most valuable entertainment IP on the planet with a massive established fan base that spans all ages. You have billions of dollars invested into said IP and can basically print money just by putting out mediocre new content every so often.

But what does Disney do? Put out shitty content combined with inserting overt social agenda messaging and purposely making a show that'll turn off a significant chunk of the established fan base.

It’s an extremely bad show. Disney has had a few successes in the Star Wars space - 1st couple seasons of Mando, Boba, Bad Batch, last season of Clone Wars, Rogue One. But this is a new extreme low. It’s like they tripled down on everything wrong with the other shows in this one, rather than backing off of the pain points

In turn, it emboldens the Clay Travis' of the world to completely sell out and farm outrage porn because that's what drives the click dollars.


Yes, Disney is completely innocent. It's those darned outrage porn slingers who don't have any legitimate complaints. They just create these criticisms out of whole cloth. Poor Iger and Headland are merely trying to tell a story as artistically as possible!

Surely this has already been a Cinemax series

FWIW Amazon Women on the Moon was also a movie. And better than anything KK has done

I'm more interested in which Blackrock/mega hedge fund types that she's been rubbing elbows with for the past decade. The decision to burn SW to ashes on the DEI altar isn't accidental, and given the gargantuan value of the property across multiple platforms, can't be written off to mere ideology of Kennedy.

Quite bluntly - they're getting paid to run SW into the ground.

Spineless critics. They know it's bad, but they won't say it out of fear.

Haven’t watched a minute of it and I consider myself a pretty big Star Wars fan.

Haven’t seen Rise of Skywalker, Book of Fett, anything beyond Mando season 1, Ahsoka, Andor, or Kenobi either.

if you watch or consume the product you are a fan. Your level of enjoyment really is not significant to anyone. You can call yourself a fan or not. Nobody cares at all.
