    None of this Star Wars stuff interests me anymore. It wasn't meant to be milked like this. Maybe I've just aged out.

    Disney is making George Lucas’ slow deliberate rollout of content look like the instincts of a genius. Worse than brand fatigue, each “new venture” trots out nostalgia instead of an original concept. Where are all the good ideas?

    The reason you don't see good ideas is that storytelling has taken a back seat to social agendas and profit maximization. Some business analysts at Disney/Lucasfilm came up with the strategy to focus on acquiring "new" fans to grow the brand (females, millennials, kids, etc.) and they assumed the old fans would just go along with anything they did. Unfortunately, for everyone, this strategy was not thought out because "new" fans don't have the same loyalty that old fans had, and old fans can barely recognize the franchise they used to love. I predict that Episode 9 will do pretty well but overall the brand will continue to receive diminishing returns, which will prompt Disney to officially hand over the reins to Kevin Feige.

    Apt assessment of the failed methodology behind “Disney Star Wars”.

    Star Trek Discovery is also chasing the elusive "new fans" while alienating the old.

    I won't go into detail as this thread is geared towards Star Wars, but let's just say everything you know about Star Trek has been discarded by this new show..

    Wow, it actually sounds pretty good. I love it when entire shows focus on thinly veiled social and political issues...

    This is why I haven’t watched blackish. I feel shows like that exist so that white liberals can get their weekly dose of white guilt, while trying to gain some “allies” points.

    At last, a new trailer for The Mandalorian is out today.

    Here's how Disney describes the series: "After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. 'The Mandalorian' is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic."

    The Game Of Thrones showrunners Benioff and Weiss have "exited" their Star Wars trilogy project. They say that the deal they signed with Netflix is going to take up all of their time.

    I personally think they were either scared off by Kevin Feige or Lucasfilm fired them because they were put off by the debacle of the last season of GOT.

    If it's true that they just rather create something new at Netflix instead of being the architects of the next generation of Star Wars films, it really speaks to how far the Star Wars brand has diminished.

    I just watched the first episode of the Mandalorian, I really enjoyed it, the end of the episode was very shocking (but not in a shitty way like The Last Jedi).
    Holy shit a baby Yoda!

    I found the first episode so enthralling that I watched it three times. The good news is that episode 2 goes up on Disney+ this Friday!

    Haven't been hooked on a Star Wars series since Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
