The Rey movie isn't happening. Neither is the Acolyte. Call it a hunch.

I think the writers and actors strike will buy enough time for the right people to stop it all. Kathleen Kennedy wanted to push it out the door quickly but now she won't be able to... and now she's in the wake of Indy 5 costing them millions, all due to her decisions and meddling.

Sadly expecting her to go down is unrealistic at this point.
Disney gonna dug up Walt's grave faster than fire a useless agenda-driven idiot.

how many female star wars projects are there? K.Keneddy is out of her mind, no way the metrics justify all of them. I love female heroes but this is tiring, they still haven't done one female hero that is well done, Ashoka being the closest but her being an alien means she'll never be accepted by mainstream audiences.

And who asked for this project? It's so bland and uninspiring. Even if the main character was male, it just looks so tired and a rehash. It's such a bankrupt idea.How does something like this even get greenlit over any other project in the vast star wars universe, I don't even care if the main character were still female as long as it felt fresh. Disney clearly doesn't know what star wars should be.Granted this was greenlit before Iger started to put a closer attention into projects so perhaps we should start judging star wars direction on projects greenlit after that. However this shows they learned absolutely nothing from the failure of the sequel trilogy or the success of the first two seasons of the Mandalorian.

Show looks exactly the same as all the other D+ Star Wars shows. Meaning it'll be mostly mediocre with the occasional good episode or scene.

*Andrew NDB* · 03-19-2024, 05:29 PM

This is the big one, guys. Everything Kathleen Kennedy has done so far has been ramping up to this show. It NEEDS to fail, and spectacularly.

And how you just know not-so-baby-Yoda will be a to be revealed part of the new Rey movie, you can bet they're waiting to reveal slightly younger Yoda himself for this. Don't buy into it. These are not people that care about Star Wars, only what it can do for their agenda.

If it's true that this movie is horror centric then I am all in.

It's "queer centric" (their words). And it isn't a movie.

... Did Disney seriously re-release Phantom Menace in theatres just to promote this show? Phantom Menace, you know, the movie that was largely considered the worst Star Wars movie before Disney took over the franchise and ran it into the ground? Geez, that's sad, when the nostalgia for Phantom Menace is stronger than hype for the new material...

That reminds me of other franchises where there were characters or moments were considered low points but people found a new way to sink lower.

For example:

- Scrappy Doo was considered the worst part of the Scooby-Doo franchise until the Velma show came along

- "Slimer And The Real Ghostbusters" was considered the worst part of the Ghostbusters franchise until the 2016 movie came along.

For sure. And you can see the social media "influencer" machine at work with this show. Every day it's viral posts being shared about "Look, the show has a Dathomiran!" "Look, the show has this!" "Look, the show has that!"

It's really flabbergasting, too, how literally not one thing they're throwing out there about the show is about the story.

Kathleen Kennedy says “I think a lot of the women who step into Star Wars struggle with [toxic fandom attacks] a bit more.”

“Because of the fan base being so male dominated, they sometimes get attacked in ways that can be quite personal… Operating within these giant franchises now, with social media and the level of expectation — it’s terrifying”

KK is at it again

She's like a turd that won't flush.

*Andrew NDB* · 05-30-2024, 03:46 PM

It's really remarkable. Has Bob Iger not had "the talk" with her yet? Because she should have been the first person on his list.

I recommend more fiber in that diet.

*Andrew NDB* · 06-03-2024, 11:27 PM

So... the first two episodes might be OK, then the third episode "kills Star Wars." lol..
