Star Wars Is A Dead Franchise
So I was forcing myself to watch The Mandalorian the other day when the realisation hit me - Star Wars as a franchise is dead. Its been dying for a long time, but now there's no hiding it. Nobody cares about it anymore. It died because Disney killed it.

Why Modern Movies Suck - The Myth Of The "Modern Audience"
The prequels definitely divided fans, but there's no doubt about the level of passion and the epic scope of storytelling that went into those films.
It's all terrible because it is all part of a vast de-moralization campaign. The US is on step 6 of the 10 steps of genocide.
I know your probably not going to see this, but if you do, you might want to see Star Wars: the bad batch. (And also the clone war if you haven’t) there one of the last fragments of good shows, yeah it might have a bit of filler, but it there still good shows.
What's happening now is nothing compared to how grim things looked for the franchise after Revenge Of The Sith.
No we need a Nolan's version, where he gets to the original source and Peter - gutting the boys who decided to grow up.
I am not a sw but its quite disheartening to see your sw friend inviting you less and less to watch the movies or talk about something they used to be passionate about.
5:33 it’s official after seeing this image it’s the equivalent of seeing your little sister take over your franchise and play with your toys 🤦♂️
A fat man who is weak and cries. Hollywood approved. Just like Joker. Last time I saw this on the other spectrum, it was Reese Witherspoon in Wild. No wonder I haven't seen her in anything lately.
Who cares
I don't demand much from a show. Just be entertaining and MAKE SENSE. When half an episode covers how Din wants to resurrect IG-88 cuz it's the only Droid he can trust to help him find a bath on Mandalore, and not 5 minutes into his quest to get the needed parts he gives up and takes literally the first available crappy Droid instead, it doesn't make sense. When Bo Katan gets pissed cuz she sees that Din's ship is coming back to bother her again, she says "ima get rid of him for good". 30 seconds later, she is rushing off to rescue him? It makes no sense. Or maybe all this makes sense and I am just too stupid to understand...
I know that these films damaged Trek and weren't that good but I had this impression Star Trek was dull and stuffy from when I saw it as a child these films allowed me to at least get a tiny bit of familiarity with the universe that made me want to go and watch more. After a while I finally let my curiosity about TNG get the better of me and I watched the whole thing, DS9 twice and now I'm getting through Voyager slowly. I think of myself as a bit of a fan now. Ironically that has now made me dislike these films that I sort of liked before.
I like fenik, she is a cool new kind of bounty hunter. Hope she get better stories.
Andor was Actually Quality.. Like best show of the year from a non SW fanboy. They never ONCE said Jedi or the Force in it.. I was so happy.
How TF does Kathleen Kennedy still have a job?
Andor season 2 is our only hope
*Cough* Andor.
The coruscant storyline was a blunder, but dude.... the ripping on BoBF and the mandalorian is ignoring the shinning diamond encrusted platinum turd for something that the majority of people actually enjoying.... you're not doing yourself a favor throwing the melodramatic fit over the Disney plus stuff.
I'll actually be surprised if Tinker Bell DOESN'T have a live interest in Wendy.
Star Wars does with TFA for me, never watched the rest.
Star Wars didn’t die because Disney killed it. Star Wars died because over the past twenty years Lucasfilm has understood less and less of what made the otherwise B-level sci-fi trilogy a miracle. And this is largely because the social/cultural environment that made the film no longer exists.
I bet George is kicking himself in the d!ck for selling his franchise for pennies.
I think the reason I haven't bothered with Mando season 3 is that the end of the previous season felt like a satisfying conclusion to the series and it didn't really need a continuation
😂😂😂 that opining monologue is exactly what I feel.
I'm actually happy to see Disney continue to move in the direction of bankrupting themselves.
Star Wars has become like the Fast & Furious franchise but with more spinoffs. I'm glad that my favorite "Star" series, Stargate and Battlestar Galactica, have been able to stay pristine and untainted while Star Wars and Star Trek have gone tits up.
I think the only thing that would bring me back is if they did something like the Bane trilogy.
And that could ever happen cuz 1. They don't own that story 2. It isn't 'family friendly', so they'll never buy it 3. It doesn't mesh with "The Message". 4. It would kick too much ass... 🤣
Disney paid four billion dollars for this franchise... just to burn it down.. 😥 If I won the lottery, I still wouldn’t be willing to buy it from them, simply because they ruined the fan base... 🤮🤮
So many of the greatest franchises are already "dead" and that's not a bad thing. Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, they all should've been left untouched long ago so that their glorious perfection may remain frozen in time forever for all of us to look back on and enjoy...
I'll say something that I don't see spoken of about the decimation of SW. Blame Kennedy, blame Johnson, blame Abrams but you know who we should be blaming... George Lucas! He was quoted years ago saying he didn't want the large movie studios meddling with his beloved story so he wouldn't sell his rights to the films. Well, what did he do? Lucas was obviously done with making SW films so we would have ended the story with the first six films. It could have ended right there, but then Disney threw 4 Bill in front of Lucas and he turned to the dark side.
He was the best thing in a movie by a director who .. doesn't ,or can't, do understated. But that's okay, the same could be said about Spielberg, Aronovsky's heavy hand shouldn't detract from Fraser's great performance.
No anger or resentment that you paid for Disney Plus???
Can't wait for the upcoming episode where all of the Mandalorians take their helmets off in support of Mando, then say "It's Mandin' Time" and defeat the bad guy and save the day!
Well apparently some leaked info said that Favreau was gonna quit Mandalorian because Kennedy was pulling strings to change the show..like getting Carano fired and bringing back Grogu for marketing purposes. Favreau got fed up and said fuck it she can do what she likes with the show. The head honcho asked what would it take for him to stay on and he said complete control on Mandalorian season 3 with no Kennedy involvement so according to that, all season 3 is Favreau.
They need Tarantino to have Carte blanche and hope for a home run
I really like Andor, it was great.
Seeing Rocky again was the only reason I watched these
Yeah, too bad. I enjoyed the first two seasons of TM , but lost interest halfway through Boba Fett.
So this explains why I keep falling asleep during recent Mando' episodes. I'm practically on insomniac, but I have apparently found my cure.
I FEEL THE SAME GROGU AND HIS BABYSITTER🤦🏾. HE SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH LUKE AND THAT LAST EPISODE OF MANDO WAS BORING AS HELL 😴😴😴
I started to dislike Star Wars because the Rebels were incompetent. They kept winning big battles. Yet they could never take over the government. Why? Probably because most of the galaxy didn't want them. They were pathetic in the grand scheme of things. The Force was the only reason that I continued watching anything from Star Wars.
They are not out of material... they just refused to ever refer too it!
Fuck! This must be the real deal then.
I don't know about riding into battle but The Golden Compass is pretty tight if you wanna see polar bears fighting.
Probably won't ever watch it because it looks depressing but I'm glad Fraser is doing well. George of the Jungle is still hilarious all these years later.
Bwuahaha your use of the screaming Nick Cage and laughing J. Jameson clip are always 10/10 in terms of placement
Fucken stupid bastards shrunk yoda and repainted Boba and called it revolutionary
It's become like Marvel where there's so much of it that It's not even worth trying to keep up. I'll give something a look if it gets a positive response (Like the Obi-Wan thing), but that's about it.
I think hollywood sabotaged the next generation, of which Brendan was one, of action/comedy stars. All of those from the era the up and coming fell off a cliff, and Sly, Bruce, even Arnold kept churning out movies. Whether intentional or not, there is a serious glut of action stars from that time. Of course that was the time political correctness was coming into its own. so...
I like that “jedi survivor” game heard a sequel is coming out for next gen consoles
