Because of the fan base being so male-dominated


Why not try making something that Star Wars fans want to see?

Never heard of this. Just watched the trailer. Based off that it looks like a cheese fest with bad actors. Hard pass.

Trinity is the only reason I might give it a chance.

And still did everything in their power to make that show about the black female "antagonist" and the little girl Leia so KM can keep her "the force is female" theme going.


Women and girls DO NOT WATCH THIS shite.


It's either KK has blackmailed someone or there is enough lunatics in charge, likely angry chubby feminist activists, they are just trying to put a middle finger to the "nerds".

It's hard for me to believe the sabotage is due to an ideological bubble, I have a hard time thinking people in Hollywood are that unaware. It's frightening if they are.


My only conclusion is a deliberate sabotage.
Honestly, I think the idea early on was to make MORE money.

It was a strategic miscalculation: they THOUGHT you could record monkeys throwing shite at each other, put Star Wars in the title, and it would make a billion at the box office. So somebody using that logic decided to make the focus on girls, hoping they could also get the girl audience. If it HAD worked, it's bigger than Avatar.
It didn't work.

Now, I think some of it is still trying to find the magic formula, and some of it is bitterness and spite because they've been embarrassed about being so wrong. And they've gotten to where they try to shame the audience into viewing their product, which obviously isn't going to work either.

Think about this quote that she acknowledges. Now think about how she has attempted to circumvent this known and long established fact by trying to make Star Wars something it is not. How do so many people fail at logic? Let's take the entire reason for Star Wars being so popular and alienate the people that actually like it and cater to people that do not like it so no one likes it. What could go wrong?


Classic male fragility people.

Preemptivelty calling your "male dominated fanbase" a bunch of sexist chuds for potentially not liking the thing you are about to release. . .

You forget the run ups to:

The Last Jedi
Ghostbusters 2016
She Hulk
The Marvels

It's the go-to when you have a female dominated piece of trash that ruins an IP

#Acolyte budget is reportedly ~$180M



Basically enough to make 14 Godzilla Minus One movies.

For a mere 4 hours (8 x 30 minutes) of content.

1. What was budgeted and what was spent are two different things.

2. This is how you make profits look like losses to avoid taxes.


You can't record budgeted items as expenses without actual payments being issued. It is reasonable to estimate some expected expenses and revenues to accrue at the end of a month/quarter/year, but that only works for financial reporting purposes. You're not allowed to use accrual accounting for tax purposes.

Woah, i just watched a video about the show, and they had the major actors and the director discussing the movie and such.





What a fricking abortion, the Men are soy boys, and the women are lame, boring, and KK has 100% destroyed the franchise.

I have no clue why disney hasnt been sued by the share holders for failing their fiduciary duties as ceo and board.

they have taken it from breaking 200's, to now, sitting at $101, lol And they continue to go all in on making shite films for %10 of the population, who, dont watch the series, movies,etc.
