Been watching the series, feel like the elephant plushie is a bit low budget alien, and there are certainly many "big feel" and "growth moment" scenes that I've seen done a million times so it feels a bit cringe at times, but the series is perfectly watchable. 7/10.

Well, despite people liked and sometimes loved this series, including the critics, it appears has such awful viewership that lots of folks are agreeing, Star Wars is dead. Disney killed it. Kathleen Kennedy did her best to kill it and has finally succeeded. Even when Disney puts out a decent story in live action, no one is watching.

I’m without words except to say how sad this is.

Disney only had a hand in killing SW, the blame primarily falls on GL for not expanding his vision himself. What he did do was put in stupid shit like Jar-Jar and tech (ship control panels/ screens) that somehow got lost to time and reverted back to colored buttons and CRT viewscreens for the original movies.

GL could have easily reached out to Timothy Zahn to create some wonderful additional movies/ shows to go along with the trilogy, he dropped the ball and he knows it.

I will respectfully disagree. No matter how much you or I might dislike Jar Jar, Lucas was clear that he designed that character around the needs of children, and that he was writing to include a younger audience. Jar Jar was popular inside the demographic he was designed for and the prequels were a success.

Kennedy’s contributions were not of like sort. She was preaching to the audience. Her values are what characterize the differences between Disney Star Wars and all the rest. Her intentions were not primarily to entertain a new audience, but rather; she believes she has a responsibility toward the social engineering of her audience, to promote different values, and you can see this in the words of so many directors, actors and actresses hired specifically for this since Disney took over. Many, many of these have been provocateurs of trendy values the overwhelming majority of America and the world do not ascribe to. So the natural question comes, what is the proper place of entertainment in society?

If you believe in social engineering then you’re okay with Kennedy force-feeding the public radical, man-hating feminism and lesbian space witches. If on the other hand you just want to entertain the majority, then you’re not going to go out of your way to offend them.

Even the directors at Disney claim they want to offend. That’s their purpose. That’s their goal. You can do that, or you can entertain, but seems we have ample evidence you cannot do both at once. Hence, nobody Is now watching, even when Disney gets it right.

I don’t have any idea how long the public will ignore Star Wars the way they’re apparently doing. I only know social engineers make very poor producers, directors and actors. They are responsible for this, not George Lucas, IMHO.
