The echo chamber here is no different than the echo chamber on Reddit, just other ends of the spectrum when it comes to entertainment.

KK had been with Lucas since the OT.
But i think this is a good move. I would have rathered Favreau but Filloni respects the source at least.

Who cares. Star Wars is dead. Don’t think I’ll ever forgive Disney for killing it.

Disney Star Wars is so fricked.



Nothing will change. Things will actually get worse.

Dumbass. It’s a tv movie and you can tell. It’ll be lucky to make $550mm

You are the softest person on this board my god the little stuff that offends you

Ok, 550 million plus a boatload of merchandise. A movie that cost 165 to make. Dead! Dead I tell you!

Apparently official.

I have no doubt the IP will be run better now, because it would be impossible to be worse.

However I think the damage has been done in a way that's impossible to ever repair.

Can't wait for another decade that includes a second Rey trilogy, 3 more seasons of Ahsoka, and several other shitty spinoffs.


Y’all are nuts. Season one of Ahsoka was fire.

Disney is redoing half of Galaxy's Edge. More like 3/4 and retheming it to the original trilogy.
The start of abadoning the sequels.

Agree. Baylan (RIP Ray) and the Mortis gods balanced out the shoddy fight choreography. Looking forward to season 2 and more Ezra.

Me, SEK, and the MTV board baws after seeing the confirmation of KK being canned, in black & white

FWIW, Disney announced this week it’s retheming Galaxys Edge in Disneyland and will now feature OT theme in about half the park area. So I’m sure Disneyworld will follow. If you’ve been, the Resistance era will be isolated around Rise of the Resistance, and all the merch and Falcon area will now be OT with Vader, Han and Leia, and OG stormtroopers.

It’s interesting timing anyways and at least a tacit step in the right direction. I know Dave gets hate here and some well deserved. But I really enjoy clone wars and rebels. Late season Rebels is some of the best Star Wars content out there. So I at least have Hope that they might figure this out.

Galaxy's Edge and Starcruiser Hotel were all on KK. Well over a billion dollars lost in those ventures alone. Easier to see in the Hotel debacle, but the lost revenue from the failed use of the OG characters in G. E. has cost Disney bigly.

I didn’t know that about Disney World. Just got back from Disneyland and I don’t care what anyone says that Star Wars area is bad arse. That will be really cool to have it rethemed.

People can hate on Dave all they want, but this is a massive upgrade

SW is already dead imo. DF can do whatever he wants, but the franchise is never coming back to anywhere near its former glory.

She’s leaving on her own terms, and having hand picked her successors.

Zero consequences for trashing the single greatest IP in cinematic history.

Praise & salutations, all hail her!!
