Nostalgia blinds people. Everyone likes seeing Ewan and Hayden back together. And it's awesome. But the show was crap. The story was crap. And threw the continuity to the wind. (But the again, that seems to be the only lesson Dave Filoni learned from George. "Continuity is for wimps.")

I strongly believe as long as we don’t give them any money, they will be forced to change their movie strategy.

It’s gonna take some time, but enough of us stand up i think we can make a change

Convincing the rest of the community? That’s the scariest part…

Saw a poll on YouTube on what’s the best new Star Wars show and Kenobi was in the lead…

We are all Doomed

LOL... Maybe not.

I was in the middle of writing something but then accidently hit the 'Post reply' button. Didn't have time to type everything over again right then so I just posted the dots.

Anyways...

I was just thinking about what Jinx said, & he's absolutely right. The reasons "voting with your wallets" when it comes to SW, ST, IJ, & ALL the other IPs that have been constantly complained about, is because they're now, for better or worse, what's called EVERGREEN PROPERTIES.

I'll use Batman as an example... In the last 11 years, there have been 10 different actors portraying Batman/Bruce Wayne over 5 live action films & 2 TV shows, several different animated projects, video games, plus several projects that revolve AROUND Batman without him actually IN the show. These aren't even including the ongoing comic series that follow Batman & the extended Bat-Family.

Now look at the merch that you can buy brand new... You can get recently released figures of Pattinson, West, Bale, Keaton, & Affleck, plus innumerable figures based on comic stories & animated shows from over the last 30-40 years.

Why?

Because Batman is EVERGREEN! He's always going to be popular because it's Batman & there's not a generation alive that did not grow up with him in one form or another. Whether it be Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, West's campy portrayal, Conroy's B:TAS, JUSTICE LEAGUE, & JLU, or Nolan's trilogy. In just those examples you have vastly different versions of the character & they're ALL someone's Batman.

I say all that to say this- it's no longer about the 'story' with Batman, & if one project flops, it's still going to get attention because it's Batman, & there's always going to be something else with Batman just around the corner. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, & folks like that will always have some Batman merch on the shelf to pick up in a last minute gift run for a kid they barely know.

We are coming up to a time when SW has been a part of the zeitgeist for everyone younger than 60, & there's only a faithful few that see SW as the OT ONLY, & once they die out, or at least get too old to use tech, you're going to see less division. All the chatter, as Jinx said, is keeping the product EVERGREEN, & they'll keep putting stuff out because it's going to appeal to SOMEONE & will be 'their' favorite SW.

This brings me to my last point. As a man who knows there's many more days in the rearview than in the windshield, it kills me to hear all the people that value their money more than their time. All the bragging of how Disney/Lucasfilm/KK won't get a penny of their money, but they get HOURS of their time. Yup... You're pouring something much more valuable than your bank account into "woke/garbage/sewage/nonsense",& just like there's no such thing as bad publicity, there's no such thing as bad online dialog. If we're talking about it, no one cares about the content of what we say.

Treat yourself better.

Comparing Batman to Star Wars is apples and oranges entirely

The difference between giving Disney/Lucasfilm your money and talking about it are apples and oranges (Jinx perfectly described the media)

They are losing millions of dollars and fast...up near a billion...truth!

Allowing them to take your money to produce garbage is foolish...

Allowing them to take your money and your time is even more foolish...

So you give them your money and your time yet try to check those that won't give them their money anymore by making the point they are still giving them their time? Taking your time to write a post to say no one cares about the content of what we say? I'm completely lost.

I guarantee right here and right now if we all went silent on this garbage and didn't talk about it, that a vacuum would be created and would be filled by those of you who eat this stuff up like there's no tomorrow and then can live happily ever after on these forums without hearing any "negativity" from those of us who oppose it. I'm sorry but not giving them your money and talking about them are two different things...spending time talking about it is not valuing your time over money because not spending money to not watch their garbage is NOT giving them your time as well. They might not understand negative feedback or constructive criticism but they will understand their bottom line because if they are losing their pants they surely won't spend their time anymore producing stuff that no longer sells...period. If there is nothing produced then there is nothing to talk about so by not giving them your money you are killing two birds with one stone.

I ***king hate fake movie trailers, especially fake Star Wars/Marvel trailers. Anytime I see one in my YT feed I click 'Don't Recommend Channel'.

It's not the fact that they are fan-made, it's the misleading aspect.

"Fan-made" should be the first words of the video title. No ambiguity, no clickbait. Then I'm fine with it.
