>Perhaps they will sell the IP once Ahsokha bombs
the films/tv aren't what make the big bucks for Disney
it's the licensing and the toys
they will literally never ever sell it
>it's the licensing and the toys
Didn't the merch for the sequel trilogy flop?
the sequel trilogy didnt flop like most will tell you. it did billions for each movie. thats before tie-ins, ads, toys, games, books, israeli math, etc. the problem was that it went from like 2.5 billion to barely a billion on the 3rd movie when sequels usually go up in money. to basically drop off a cliff was a massive flop despite making a billion.
Not what I asked. I thought the merchandise sold poorly and lost money.
I know the sequels made a healthy amount of cash but devalued the brand in a horrfiying way.
>sequels usually go up in money
dumb frick
>it did billions for each movie
We literally have no proof of that. Just Disney's word.
>the sequel trilogy didnt flop like most will tell you
It might have very well been profitable, but it was nowhere near as profitable as it should have been. Everybody knows that if they managed it better, it would have made far more and been better regarded overall. It isn't just about raw profit, but opportunity.
>the licensing and the toys
Only make money because the content was successful.
They make the most money off OT and prequels/clone wars stuff which are completely unrelated to modern success
made. the word you meant to use there was made.
lol, they probably make less but the OT is still really popular with kids
>it's the licensing and the toys
Even TFA bombed hard. It famously couldn't even sell Lego.
They're dying trying to sell toys. My local shitty prize-arcade had them as cheap prizes like 6 years ago, It's a massacre.
The sequels have completely torpedoed the toy department of the brand. It's actually impressive how quickly it managed to destroy everything when you look back at what a goliath SW Legos and other toys were back in the day.
A lot of people don't get that SW is not a strong brand anymore. Toys R Us was relying on Star Wars success. In general toy sales are struggling, but the sort of "event" status of a star wars film was gone. It was not the same as the prequels. There's many factors involved, but Hasbro, Disney's and Toys R Us's relationships are very much strained. They don't trust each other. It wasn't the same as a billion dollar disney princess movie having products fly off the shelf. They can all play the blame game, but I think it's obvious when the property isn't fun, it doesn't sell toys.
Literally all you have to do is get rid of everything from 2008 onwards and start adapting parts of the EU.
Shit, meant to reply to OP
>the films/tv aren't what make the big bucks for Disney
>it's the licensing and the toys
The toys don't sell and Lucasfilm has been a disaster
pretty sure video games are toys, anon
>the toys
disney star wars toys and merch don't sell.
Merch sales are down 60% since before Disney bought the IP. They would literally be making more money from Star Wars right now if they had bought it and not made any new movies and just kept it running as-is.
They are actually down lower than - 60% from their peak. The only toys that sell are Darth Vader, Luke, Leia, Maul, etc. Go to Target and Walmart right now and you’ll see the entire (small) Star Wars section is just retro toys.
Even all the different storm trooper designs?
Star Wars used to take up an entire aisle, now it's just a couple pegs and shelves.
You know who has a ton of Star Wars toys though? Ollie's.
I wonder how much of that is because of how Disney's treated Star Wars and how much of that was just inevitable. Even in the best case scenario the toy aisle wouldn't look like it did in 2004. It didn't even when TFA was at its pre-release peak and pushing things hard.
Certainly every franchise has its ebbs and flows, its peaks and valleys. But I do think TLJ (whether you loved or hated the movie) was a definitive red line for Star Wars as there was a before-TLJ Star Wars and an after-TLJ Star Wars. After TLJ, 50+% of the fan base walked away, merch sales dropped by almost 70%, the next 2 films brutally underperformed (and Star Wars disappeared from Cinemas thereafter) and the entire “Fandom Menace” media universe was created.
Even more so, Disney as a whole is badly struggling financially now and one wonders how much of this really began with the TLJ controversy and grew from there.
No doubt, but what I'm saying is the toy industry doesn't revolve around Star Wars, and the entire industry isn't the same as it was 20 years ago. The action figure market in particular is not what it was.
Right. But since the 70s, Star Wars has been a major player in the toy industry. At many points, Star Wars was the undisputed king of toys and merchandise sales
It still has a bigger footprint on toys than most IPs. Like I said, I have no doubt that Disney's handling has left an impact. But it was never going to look like the late 90s or early 2000s again, and the trend made it apparent that it wasn't going to keep looking even like 2012. Anyone that's been around kids--which, admittedly, most of this board shouldn't be allowed to--knows this. The action figure demographic in particular was hit hard.
Parents control the wallets and parents control the culture within their households. If Mom and Dad say “Star Wars ruined Leia and Luke and Yoda” and it’s “stupid now” then their kids are likely to just ignore it and play with Barbies or Marvel or Paw Patrol toys.
The truth is that while Barbie expanded their brand, they never tried to humiliate and degrade Barbie and replace her with a cheap corporate knockoff. They kept her as the core, and built out from there.
Star Wars tried to do it the other way and that’s why they failed
What character sells toys? Probably just characters that were established before Disney took over.
It can only be saved if Disney loses the rights to it which is unfortunately unlikely.
>once Ahsokha bombs
We're in october 2023, time traveler. That already happened
Yeah exactly. Disney+ has 146 MILLION subscribers, 1.2 million = 0.8% of their subs watched it. That's a total bomb.
And that's just the premiere, the show has fared much worse than that over time.
Youtubers get higher views filming themselves in their room than EXPENSIVE DISNEY PRODUCTIONS, you are not smart. It's not sustainable at all.
wow these numbers are pathetic
they're actually really impressive
The thing about Star Wars numbers in particular that are very hard to figure out is ….how much of these “total” minutes/ numbers are rewatches?
Because if you say, 5 - 7 million people are watching Andor or Ashoka weekly…how many of those are people watching the episode 3 times or more? Because Star Wars has always been unique in that regard. So these numbers are very likely padded or amplified by multiple rewatches from the same people
There's no reliable independent system for determining streaming viewership. That's just how it is.
I agree. But we can approximate to a certain extent. But Star Wars is the most difficult to pin down because of the unique nature of rewatches- which has always been a feature of Star Wars
The numbers prove how out of touch the internet shilling companies actually are. Disney shills spent years claiming TLJ was a masterpiece and only a few nazi incels hated it, while also saying GOT's finale was an IP killer and it was all over. Yet here we are
No

>Can Star Wars be saved?
It already has you sexist
*crosses arms respectfully toward you*
Crossed arms is such an un-feminine pose. I've drawn literally hundreds of commissioned sketches and illustrations of female characters and I have never even been asked to draw that pose. Not once. And I'm not a porn artist so that is not why, if that's what you're thinking.
Just asking, what's the most common pose(s) you've been asked to draw?
I'd say the most popular ones are a hand (or both hands) on the hips, arms raised, or laying on the side. A lot of the time the commissioner has something more specific in mind though, or they give me carte blanche in which case I'll try and find a new pose that looks interesting that I haven't done yet. I've drawn a lot of poses, but nobody's ever asked for the arms crossed pose unless it's a male character.
I like crossed arms if she has big boobs, with a little smile on her face.
Get replaced you sellout hack
It's a defensive pose conveying vulnerability and nervousness. It doesn't fit any of those characters.
That is the look Dave Filoni's wife gives him if he breathes too loudly.
If they can stop Filoni from vomiting his Rebels garbage all over it, possibly. Ultimately, Disney still thinks it's a grrl power sci-fi franchise though and flat out refuse to make a fantasy adventure... which why we're constantly stuck with these fricking stupid "Follow the the map to the McGuffin" plots, because that's the only impetus that makes logical sense in a hard sci-fi world.
The problem was that they didn't cast a CUTE girl!

Lowest common denominator slop. Guaranteed to be garbage.

Boom. Star Wars is saved.
>old horse-faced Mara Jade
No, frick you. I want Karen Gillan for that role.
It will be carried by games again. No more movies or series in this world are needed.
A flat no unless this new Rey movie is somehow the greatest movie ever made, recontextualises Rey into an interesting character, and retroactively makes the sequels more bearable.
How about a Rey film where everyone tells her how amazing she is as she travels round familiar planets from the PT and OT to recruit new students (who love her) while dabbing on Thrawn at the same time and also telling a heckin cool troony that the force doesn't judge your gender?
>the force doesn't judge your gender
it doesn't tho
They should make trans and nonbinary people more force-sensitive and powerful because they're "less attached to emotionally driven socieal norms and materialism" or something.
Like, I want to see them go all-in on pwning-the-chuds marketing and see how well it works out for them.
You can't nonbinary AND trans at the same time.
That's like putting a car in drive and reverse simultaneously.
In both cases, that's just not how trannies work.
>Even the ships are gay
Damn that's gay Black folk.
Great, not one but two bald, unattractive AIDS-patient troons. Yeah boy, thats what fans are clamoring for.
Lol. No.
Rey’s entire premise is to be a corporate Luke Skywalker (without 1/20th the popularity). Every single thing she has done and said, or will do and say, is a direct THEFT from Luke Skywalker.
There was a literal best selling book series called “New Jedi Order” about Luke rebuilding and leading a newer, more compelling Jedi Order. Kathy canceled that series and is FRICKING STEALING the story note for note for her bland, soulless corporate fill-in, Rey Palpatine.
The new movie could be Citizen Kane (lol, it won’t be. It will be garbage), and it wouldn’t alter the fact that Rey is an awful proxy for the real thing.
oh look more AI slop from our friends in India
Yes. But it will require an outright retcon of the ST.
>apple buys it
>announces episode SEVEN (tfa isn't officially ep7)

Yeah we're not getting this mulligan, Ford is done with this shit.
Why do people genuinely think retconning or remaking the sequels is a good idea? Beyond moronic
Because the sequels were absolute shit and people still want to see Luke's character redeemed?
Because 99% of the problem with Star Wars is in the sequels. Genuinely. Like I'm reading wookiepedia and reading the synopsis of some Disney jedi's life, and it all sounds decent. Sounds like a character I could give a shit about.
And then it ends like this:
>Over three and a half decades after his death, the voices of _______ and many other great Jedi were heard by and encouraged the last living Jedi, the young aspirant Rey Skywalker, to use their power to destroy Darth Sidious, the returned Emperor and her grandfather, during the Battle of Exegol.
And any chance of me giving a shit disappears. Gone in an instant. The sequel crap taints even the decent bits.
Kanan?
Because the Sequels ruined Star Wars
Having a shoeless Rey would be a good start
Can I get some Luke foot worshiping Rey/Ahsoka AI images please??!
no
What do you mean by saved? The best thing that could ever be done with Star Wars is leave it alone. Aside from small side-stories, there is no narrative left that hasn't been told already. Unless you unironically bring back the Vong or do something else in a completely new direction, everything in Star Wars is doomed to be fanfiction.
All you need is a new story, with characters acting like human beings, and a coherent plot. It doesn't have to be great. It just has to make sense.
I'm looking forward to AI making full movies of the sequel EU as it should have been. No ahsoka, no Kylo ren, snoke, rey, none of that shit. Luke's successful academy, Mara, Happy Han and Leia with happy kids
>Happy Han and Leia with happy kids
wdym, dumbass? Anakin Solo dies. Jacen Solo falls to the Dark Side and kills Mara Jade. Jaina Solo ends up having to kill her own brother. Is that the definition of happy? Because that's the EU story. But anyway, EU garbage was always garbage and never canon, so AI slop is the best you could hope for, I suppose.
Hey, they were together and happy for many years.
>in the not too distant future, we'll be able to churn the cutscenes (and machinima) from jedi academy into an ai program that will make it look photorealistic
and have the original actors portray their roles even if they're fricking wormfood. Also games without audio can finally be dubbed, all subtitles to anime can now have the original voice actor in japanese speak engrish, this is the best thing that could ever happen to stupid shit.
AI is going to completely wipe out Disney Star Wars as an entity. Because people will be able to do super high quality photorealistic versions of all EU novels - Corran Horn, Abeloth, Grandmaster Luke, Darth Bane, etc. This will allow the fandom to get their real Star Wars fix with the characters and stories that they actually like. And Disney Star Wars will rapidly collapse in value and interest
>AI is going to completely wipe out Disney Star Wars as an entity. Because people will be able to do super high quality photorealistic versions of all EU novels
Its actually quite an amazing shit
It’s coming. I’ve watched some AI or unreal engine Star Wars stuff on YouTube that looks vastly better than the Sequel Trilogy now. 5 years from now it won’t even be close
yeah bro, two more weeks
you just wait
>yeah bro, two more weeks
>you just wait
Well it already bombed, it's just what Disney does which is the question.
>Can Star Wars be saved?
I doubt it. George selling it to Disney for 4 billion dollars might have actually been the killing blow. What was at one point nascent American folklore (something extremely difficult to actually create in a culture obsessed to the point of insanity with commodification of stories) is now hopelessly marred by the hypocrisy of the original creator and the further defilement by an actual corporate empire who embodies the exact opposite of the values of the story itself.
But remember kids, Soviet directors had more artistic freedom than George did because capitalism is bad. He said so.
>Can Star Wars be saved?
God no
The entire point of disney owning it is to turn it into a demoralization engine and propaganda machine for LCD people. It has nothing to do with trying to deliver quality content and I think its largely there to shit on the culture of white people by having disney own it and rape it and force people to watch it.
I mean the entire dialogue response between Ahsoka and Anakin is very vague because the writers dont know how to portray spiritual depth. Theres no expository dialogue of any understanding between them or discussion of what Anakin is doing as a force ghost, its all very vague and relies on visuals and nostalgia bait because the people writing it have no idea or dont want to portray the spirituality of star wars without it being seen as offensive.
You will never have any profound moments like Obi-Wan explaining what the force is to Luke or any larger understandings, the force is basically just certain people having special powers and others dont in Disney wars. Even the dialogue from the dark siders is very vague and you have Baylan saying that Shin is trained to be more than a jedi but you dont really see how and you dont get a sense that shes really a threat or knowledgeable
Really all Disney can do is create superficial fanbait with nothing of substance because they are too afraid to take risks while they likely use their bullshit marketing to make it seem good because they have a diverse cast and many women. I feel their entire value structure is based on trying to gain emotional brownie points from leftists rather than making something thoughtful or good because its aiming at people who feeling types rather than thinkers and yet its not even good feeling its rather exploitative
This is a pretty common take in alt-right, right (with a focus on israelites) circles.
Indiana Jones unironically is dead, Dial of Destiny bombed insanely hard with an incredibly bloated budget.
Marvel seems to be limping on but it's pretty consistently losing money too. DC is losing more but that doesn't change anything.
Star Wars, we'll see how it performs when they bring it back to theaters in a few years, but the D+ shows have been unpopular and D+ itself is losing a lot of money.
I could care less about how much money a corporation earns or how many people show up in consumer statistics.
I watch things because I feel like doing usually due to my own research or people persuading me with their passion for something or analysis.
I've tried some of the Disney shit and it's pretty much all irremediable.
I agree with you.
I was using the money as a benchmark for popularity.
Fact is, not enough people care about these brands to make them profitable.
Piracy, account-sharing, whatever cope they pitch, just doesn't eat into profits enough to explain the floppings.
what i dont understand is what people are spend their money on. i don't get it.
it's not a debate. these people are very open with their intentions. they are neo maoists waging a feminist cultural revolution where all pillars of male society must be torn down then rebuilt in the image of females
>it's not a debate. these people are very open with their intentions. they are neo maoists waging a feminist cultural revolution where all pillars of male society must be torn down then rebuilt in the image of females
I don't think there is an economic component whatsoever. That's been neutered for years if not decades.
It's all about identity politics and owning <insert other side here>. What's Marxist about any of this?
I mean sure in a vague sense that's plausible, some individual elements demonstrably are like that, particularly israeli immigrants from old Soviet Union that ended up as elites in US, the Trotskyists.
But I believe it's also explained by people having corporations as their parishes, absorbing things like the woke lifestyle uncritically and out of fear and then living by it.
Taking it too far can be entertaining... but be careful because people that do, like Jay Dyer also believe that 9/11 was an inside demolition, that apollo missions happened in a studio... it's a rabbit hole of trying to approach coherentism by believing every stupid book you find on the conspiracy shelf, then you have to throw away chunks of your brain and blind yourself in order to keep your entire schema.

This is what I have thought for some time now, the controlled demolition of Star Wars so to speak. The fact George only got paid 4 billion to allow this is unconscionable.
No because it all leads to the sequels
One thing I Haven't seen brought up yet that pisses me off so much about Nu Wars is the lightsaber combat
When the frick did it become the norm that disarming your opponent means they get a stat boost and magically twirl around and disarm you in turn. Its fricking gay, stupid and annoying. It happened in the Anakin vs Obiwan flash back, it happened in Ahsoka vs Anakin in the ahsoka series and it technically happened with vader vs reva, those are at least the ones I can think of.
The choreography in general is fricking bad too. I think Reva vs Vader is my most hated fight in a long time since for some reason they make Vader do Kung Fu with the fricking force, he literally does a karate kid "pick up jacket and attitude" move from the karate kid remake, and why is Vader dodging in general? He should be an unstoppable force not a fricking monk.
>Watching the first episode of Ahsoka
>90% of the it is quite literally pic related
My God, how do you frick up a show so bad right out of the gate? The dialogue is so bad and the titular character is sleep-inducing. The CGI cat has more personality than anyone, and that green b***h has none whatsoever.
Why didn't he just deny their request to board? I don't fricking understand.
He thought he was dealing with con artists who weren't a threat and wanted to have some fun with them for his own amusement.
You'd think the New Republic would've learned to vet their leaders more carefully after the whole Palpatine debacle. What a moron. What were two con artists gonna do aboard the ship anyway? Steal the crew's credits in some fixed games of space penuchle?
Goddamn I hate it when writing even an absurdly generic plot like this dumbass show constantly relies on characters acting moronic.
>Goddamn I hate it when writing even an absurdly generic plot like this dumbass show constantly relies on characters acting moronic.
That's literally everything Disney has done with Star Wars. It's abysmal
He all but looked directly into the camera and explained it, and you were still confused? Jesus.

>We're going to travel a few systems at sublight speed, buckle in
Well, space expands right? This is set a long time ago. Who's to say billions of years ago galaxies weren't something you could cross in a decade at sub-light speeds?
well they do have the same gravitational laws as we do so stars form and keep similar distances
I think that Disney fricked up there, it's one of the many such problems in this show.
I wonder if they do that on purpose, it cannot be that it didn't irk anyone in the writing room.
No, it cannot. And that is a good thing. These people need to find real religions to follow. Being this connected to a series of children mocies is pathetic.
>hyperspace whales

No one would buy it. It’s a dead IP. You can’t make a profit off something only a handful of r*dditor homosexuals watch.
>No one would buy it. It’s a dead IP. You can’t make a profit off something only a handful of r*dditor homosexuals watch.
Yeah Disney killed SW and Indy in the span of a couple years. Marvel is on life support
There are a lot of people who will just never give a shit about Star Wars again, and it doesn't seem to be making an impact on the current generation of kids like it did with millennials and zoomers.
Maybe they can turn things around but Star Wars will never be the phenomenon it used to be again.
>tfw can't go back to before this AI shit existed
Disney expected Ashoka to perform on par with Obi-Wan Kenobi. It’s vastly underperforming their own internal expectations, both in terms of ratings and merch sales.
At this point, it’s time to just go with a recast of the Big 3. Star Wars has like 100+ different shows, animated shows, animated shorts, movies, comics, novels, graphic novels, audio dramas, etc covering HUNDREDS of different characters and eras. They have so thoroughly covered all their side characters that they’ve actually neglected the literal main characters of Star Wars.
>on par with Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Didn't Obi-Wan Kenobi flop?
And Ahsoka is failing to even match that?
No one wants to see that... you can't frick up Luke then recast him, frick that.
Their best bet would be to make a story centuries or millennia after the sequel trilogy, but that would require thought and talent, something Yidsnay doesn't posses.
Disney has ALREADY tried that. Many, many times.
It’s called the High Republic. It’s one of the most expensive flops ever. Why would you trust them to build a new saga? Leave the future alone. Let a better company in a better time build that
>two star wars AI slop threads

At bare minimum……at bare fricking minimum Disney needs to fix the damage they did to Leia, Han, Luke, and Anakin. Not sure how they’ll do it (I have many ideas), but they have to do it.
Otherwise, this franchise will carry the blackest of black clouds around for fricking ever.
This whole thread
>mark Hamil, Carey Fisher, Harrison Ford
>deep fake technology

Stop god dammit
You mind rotted sick fricks
These are characters from fictional movies, they are not the actors that played them in the 70's FRICKING RECAST THEM mark hamil is not luke skywalker, imagine if they did this shit with batman and no batman movie could ever be made unless you cast Michael Keaton in every batman movie ever made despite age
Fricking morons
This.
It’s time to recast the Big 3 and build around them again. That’s how you save Star Wars. You can absolutely continue to do separate shows set all over the Universe or timeline. But without a core Big 3 and mythology, it’s all pointless.
DC has constantly recast and reinvigorated Superman and Batman and Wonder Woman (DC’s version of Luke and Han and Leia) over the decades and we’ve gotten great content from it. It’s time to do the same with Star Wars
Oh frick right off. DC has constantly stagnated Superman and Batman. The one good thing about the MCU is that has been forcing the characters to age and then retire or die off. This lets the universe actually develop, and move forward. At this point, Batman Beyond shouldn't be a far off future that we will never reach, it should be a story we've already arrived at, built upon and moved passed.
The last thing Star Wars needs is wallowing in a "big three". Do you really want to see what Disney does to Luke if they start writing stories about him again? Do you want to see that much more about Leia (whether it's her talking politics to the senate for a half hour, or her becoming a Jedi or someshit?). And the fact that Han Solo in your image is Solo movie Solo says all I should have to say about that.
What Disney needs to do is get some more things set AFTER the sequels, so we can finally rip that bandaid off, instead of having it looming over every mid-quel story they write as the ever present, bad-end future
>The one good thing about the MCU is that has been forcing the characters to age and then retire or die off. This lets the universe actually develop, and move forward.
Lol.
Marvel is badly struggling attempting to get their 6th and 7th tier characters over with audiences. Nobody watches their shows (except for A-Lister Loki) or goes to their movies anymore. It’s failing.
Meanwhile, the constant Batman, Spider-Man, James Bond recasts are consistently, decade after decade, near billion or billion plus successes
>Meanwhile, the constant Batman, Spider-Man, James Bond recasts are consistently, decade after decade, near billion or billion plus successes
They aren't beholden to continuity, though. Characterization changes. Moore's Bond wasn't Connery's.
Star Wars has done it with A-Listers like Obi-Wan Kenobi to great success.
I think most people would be fine with different continuities anyway. Not saying they should, only that it makes little difference to the g.a. You think 80% of the audience even know what the frick a “Hera Syndulla” is or where she fits in the scheme of things?
>I like slop more when I know the company is making maximum profit off of it
Your favorite video game genre must be mobile gatcha games
I don’t like corporate slop at all. But they are many good Batman, James Bond, etc movies over the decades
*there
Nice leather dress.
>RECAST THEM
Why? I'd rather have recasts than creepy computer doppelgangers, but I don't see why this has to be the choice. Just do something else.
I'm fine with having a new Luke, Han and Leia. People got used to having new actors play characters in the past before they had to CG everything. Despite what people say, those characters are why Star Wars is a beloved IP. Disney Star Wars is like Christmas without Jesus, just a shameless parade of commercialism.
>Can Star Wars be saved?
No
They have one surefire route to saving the franchise. They can make a movie where its revealed the sequel trilogy is a result of a wound in the force. The entire film would need to undo the events of the sequels and establish that the true timeline was the one where Palpatine truly died with in Episode 6. They could satisfy all the gay redditor babymen by having Rey save the original timeline by sacrificing herself to heal the wound. End of the film would have to establish that Luke went on to follow the original path set by the OG Expanded Universe.
Then they'd have to sit on the IP for several years before easing back into it with non-Skywalker associated content. They have to stop with that shit because no one wants to see whatever dumb frick sUbVeRsIvE garbage modern writers come up with. They could win back everyone by just returning to status quo and releasing safe content people have been clammering for since the sale renewed hope in the franchise. Thwy could do a whole new series set well into the future after Episode 6 and continue on making new storylines in the same canon.

License it all out to literally anyone else and do George's fricking ideas for a final trilogy. Also make sure Kennedy and Filoni have car accidents, no one's worth the billions they've left on the table.

Not if it belongs to the mouse, no.
It's over, let if go.
It's because of obsessive soi-homosexuals that it's in this mess in the first place.
There's nothing wrong with the current state of Star Wars. The sequels never actually happened
Luckily the prequels didn't either.

This is pure copium. Enough normies enjoy it, ensuring Star Wars will never improve or change ownership. Let it go
When was the last time Disney sold an IP?
>Can Star Wars be saved?
It is saved.
Just ignore the disney corpo trash and stick to the original movies and EU timeline.
Problem solved.
multiple movies, tv series, games, books have been announced and are in production
I consider everything SW made by Disney as non-canon. Less canon then extended universe, even.
Since Luke and Leia have been ruined, it needs to be revealed that Anakin and Ahsoka secretly had a baby, and that's what Yoda meant when he said "There is another Skywalker."
the only way they could save star wars is if they said like after luke died his midiclorians inseminated rey and rey ends up giving birth to mark hamil, maybe like he just climbs out of her pussy fully grown, or he's a baby at first but ages really fast until he's like the same age he was in the ot and they just use a little cgi to de-age him

>Can Star Wars be saved?
of fricking course not
Rey's feet?
They can't sell it because it's not worth anything.
Certainly not enough for them to dig themselves out of the gigantic financial hole they're in.
>Can Star Wars be saved?
Honestly if you completely ignore the sequels, Star Wars is ok. Not great but in a passable state with a reasonable ratio of good to shit. The most sensible choice is to decanonize the sequels, it should happen when KK retires/dies. Of course the decanonization won't be official, a new producer would just say they're "exploring a new direction for the canon" which would be synonymous for retconning the sequels.
That would be great, or place them (ST characters) in their own unique timeline or “thread of destiny.” Then you could take Ahsoka, Ezra, Grogu, Luke, Leia, Han, etc and tell the story from here with a completely unknown future. This would be a massive boon to the franchise as they can now use the real main characters in interesting ways without being beholden to a deeply controversial future where everyone turns into an idiotic losers and a corporation remakes (or “soft reboots”) the OT in the most convoluted way possible
Star wars needs to be wholesome again, like George wanted. Disney would never put soul back in it though.
>Can Star Wars be saved?
I have an idea: make a new trilogy. It's about how all the characters from episodes 7-9 are all failures and their only role in the new trilogy was to be a stepping stool for some new characters. Make Finn a angry schizo who walks around in a wheelchair, make Poe an alcoholic who retired because he couldn't put up with the stress of leadership, make Rey a bitter hag who isolates herself from everyone else and goes back on everything she accomplished. Make them support some young new characters, and let Palpatine return once again leading the Second Order this time.
>inb4 you say "but that would be cruel and would undo everything episodes 7-9 did"
Well that's exactly what episodes 7-9 did to the characters from OT, why is that allowed but this isn't?

>Disney bought Star Wars because they want more money-printing projects that cater to boys as a target audience
Makes perfect sense to me.
>then proceed to feminize the shit out of Star Wars and cater it to little girls
Wtf? The shareholders must be going greyhaired out of frustration.
best rated episode tomorrow
How would people know yet?
press release
You mean critics got an early look at it?
yea
I hope it’s good. I like Shin and Baylon, and wish they had their own show. Thrawn and Anakin and Ellsbeth have all been solid. But some of the rest of it has been hit or miss. If they stick the landing, it might work.
I want something epic and dark, want the bad guys to actually win for a change. Have Ellsbeth just wreck Ezra and Sabine with dark magic. Have Thrawn decimate New Republic ships. Throw Leia and Luke in at the end or hell, Jorrus C’abaoth or Mara. Kill a major character. Up the stakes
>I like Shin and Baylon, and wish they had their own show
Same
conceptualize that thick veiny wiener stretching that tiny ass
>watching Star Wars after TLJ
>Can Star Wars be saved?
Only by AI.
Add "blue eyes" to your prompt, my homie.
id just make them closed
They would need to remove everything except the OT and PT from the canon.
Me, personally? I'm done with that shit. I don't care what they do at this point.
People keep telling me "that gay-ass Star Wars series about some mexican is really good!" and I could not give less of a frick.
>Sequelshit/Sequalshit/AI-shit
Decanonize anything made after the OT (og version) and stop making new shit.
There. Saved.
