That's why the prequels get and got slagged so much...

Gina tell us how you really feel, don't hold back.

 

 

 

There is a 2nd tweet that is as funny:

Sadly, the originator (a man) deleted their initial tweet because they got too deep into the mire with Carano. If some of that is true, no wonder Lucasfilm is such an ungodly mess

It's Disney...... Case in point...

So how long before Disney just decides to reboot the original trilogy? 

I would have bet against it previously, but I'm starting to think that they'll eventually just give up trying to come up with fresh content and just rehash the original trilogies

That's likely the plot line for the Acolyte series.

  • Author

Despite Carano's ranting style there (can she join CVON?), she made some interesting points.  It's obvious the company line has been to promote diversity and if anyone doesn't like the new product just call them racist or misogynists.  The promotion for The Acolyte one of the actresses said Star Wars has always been about the patriarchy.  But she attacked Kennedy's leadership as being insecure.  I wonder if she felt pressure as a woman taking over a franchise with a perceived majority male fanbase and feeling like she had to get more women involved and when they sometimes sacrificed quality over diversity she lashed out.  

The fans don't have a problem with diversity, they've loved diverse characters from Leia and Lando to Moff Gideon, Bo Katan, Andor and more.  It's the writing and quality.

Exactly. There are so many talented actors of color who are perfect for many parts. It's trying to force a minority character into a part whether they're a fit or not or it works story-wise or not. That's just tokenism, which is a lot of what Kennedy Star Wars stuff is. TLJ was the most glaring example, where Luke was the only hero who happened to be a white guy (and let's face it they kind of made him a D Bag in that movie) and there were literally no people of color in the first order. It was ridiculously childish and stupid. 

Finn had great potential to be a decent character,but they dumped him on pointless side quests with a moron and kind of made him look an idiot for the rest of the trilogy.

There is a prominent female character in the EU whose story if done right, would be a bad ass. From their origin and going forward, interesting and fills in pre ROTJ gaps and would provide a character arc that Disney would wet their pants over.

Spoiler

She is Mara Jade.

Trouble is they are Ginger, and no one like Gingers do they?

Finn and Poe should have been combined into one character. 

He should have been an Imperial pilot who defects. 

It would have streamlined things

This is about HBO exec enlisting people to make fake social media profiles to troll critics who don't like their shows.  I have no doubt all the major companies do this, especially Star Wars.

That is what Carano has alluded to.  Kind of funny that the execs are so thin skinned and believers of their on hype, that they can't take it when people don't like it Says a lot about the culture of the companies.

I'm surprised they even have to pay them. 

Most of the former blue check sjw's on the old Twitter would fawn over every project so they could virtue signal. 

Like when we got all of those Tweets about the "iconic" Rose Tico 🤣

And somehow Disney made that story kind of look Oscar worthy with their other efforts.

Lots of click bait articles are leaving out the detail that he's just not going to be wearing the suit/live acting. 

He's going to record all of his lines remotely 

 

 

We went through the same thing a couple of seasons ago.

Not surprising but kind of sad. The fact he was rarely seen in the suit last season and having a bigger franchise out there to act in... 

Let's see if Kathleen Kennedy puts a chick in the suit and makes them gay
