Official: STAR WARS THREAD. These are the droids you're looking for. **WARNING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

[Jr Mouse]

I’m mostly commenting on the narrative that the franchise has been a failure under her leadership. Profits say otherwise. You can argue that the D+ stuff hasn’t been a huge revenue generator but that is an issue with streaming services in general.

I continue to take the stance that as any franchise grows there will be stuff that's not for me. I ignore those products and wait for content in my wheelhouse.

I keep making an analogy to comics but they are a perfect example. You will never be happy with all of it.

Just because it was profitable doesn't mean she was successful. SW used to have a huge rabid fan base and now a lot of fans just don't give a sh1t anymore. Whether that's terrible stories, "go woke go broke", or too much content she's turned the SW franchise into an afterthought.

Depends? I mean if it’s still making bank for Disney it’s hard to argue that fans aren’t buying tickets.

I do think there has been a shift in the fanbase that I’ve explained before. But the hatred seems to be a mostly “terminally online fanboi” thing.

For everyone complaining there are plenty of kids who love the new content like Grogu. Like I keep saying it's bringing in a next generation of fans.

Any fictional entity gets disorganized and inconsistent if it lasts long enough, even when it's a single person existing more or less in the "real world", like Sherlock Holmes or James Bond. So I'm not bothered by what is and isn't canon. I just want good stories. Folks need to get less obsessive about that sort of thing. Mostly, I haven't been getting that from SW over the past several years. I'm not angry about it, but I'd happily watch something new if it's well done.

I lean more on the side that Kennedy has had her chance and struck out. Reducing the star wars franchise to the state that there hasn't been a movie in more than 4 years after all those grand ambitions of movie a year (including the list of movies shes announced and failed to get off the ground) and a TV slate that consists of more misfires than successes along with the massive failure of the latest Indiana Jones movie points a pretty clear case of franchise mismanagement that cant be fobbed off on "Oh its just a few angry online fans"

I agree with some of the above comments that Filoni seems to focused on the minutiae in the lore to be a steward of the franchise for the general public. I would like to see Favreau given more authority. He seems to have the fan and general public chops in a good balance.

She's 71. I’m expecting her to retire in the next few years. On her own terms as she's had a long and successful career in the industry.

Star Wars: Outlaws not on Steam apparently. Anyone ever use Ubisoft?

Is Star Wars Outlaws coming to Steam?

Will Ubisoft's huge open world Star Wars game be on Steam when it releases?

Kinda bored and need a game post-BG3.

I need to finish BG3 but it’s hard for me to sit down and invest the time needed for that kind of game anymore.
