Film Theory: Star Wars is DEAD... Here's How to Fix It! (The Acolyte)

George Lucas taught me a very big lesson, never sell your amazingly good IP that people love to money hungry corporations

"im the spy" said hux after he eradicated an entire solar system

When you know that FNAF has a clearer timeline, your IP has a problem.

Gonna have to correct you. Disney didn’t cultivate a fan base. They bought a fan base. Then decided they didn’t like that fan base. So they actively drove them away. The creative team had a friggin pic of Luke with a red X over his face in the office. Your solutions will not solve the fundamental issues with Disney. Ideology over ideas.

"Where we still pretend to open automatic doors with the force." Ive NEVER felt more called out...

The problem with star wars is its being handled by people who have admitted that they don't know star wars and don't like it either

7:40 it’s almost like Disney is intentionally trying to take our attention off of the sequels because of how bad they are.

Ki Adi not being alive during the High Republic isn't even the dumbest thing about his inclusion. It's the fact that in the prequels he doubts the return of the Sith even though he's present in the scene during the Acolyte where they're discussing the emergence of a Sith character

I am convinced Disney is incapable of separating good and bad faith criticism. They so consistently blame bad faith criticism for their shortcomings i am convinced they are relying on it.

This might seem a bit unorthodox but from what i see, what made pre-disney star was as successful as it was, is that it actually WENT TF AWAY for a bit between trilogies, giving fans some time to breathe and writers a longer period to fine-tune their concepts, disney is making too much too fast and it is bloody SHOWING

I'm not sure if pointing out that fans ask questions like "How is this guy here when he hasn't been born yet?" is "lore obsessed". I feel like that's just people paying attention to the storyline and the writers aren't.

I’ve noticed that Disney in general has been struggling with movies recently. Just looking at movies like Wish, Ant Man: Quantumania, and the live-action Little Mermaid, Disney has been struggling to reach that level of success with fans that they did for decades. I think that the problem is that Disney is only doing what they believe will make them more money rather than what is actually best to create. For example with Star Wars, there are TONS of Star Wars fans out there—myself included—so Disney probably saw that and decided that a good way to make more money would be to just make more Star Wars without having—like Lee says—a clear plan. I hope Disney can start listening to the fans again and stop just making sequels and remakes and go back to making movies that are (mostly) original stories like they were able to do with the Disney Princesses. There are PLENTY of Fairytales that exist that Disney could probably make a pretty good movie about but they first need to realize that sequels, prequels, and remakes are not doing the best right now. But that’s just my opinion!

fun fact: "Continuity Checker" is an actual job title in the writing room.

Their biggest problem is writing. Each show seems to be a matter of having a few 'cool' or 'iconic' moments with no care put into getting between them. Provide a good story and people will come.

It's not "trendy" to hate star wars. It's just a simple cause and effect.

Brother if that time line is confusing... Dont get into 40k...

At this point, I cannot be convinced that Disney is not actively trying to tank their IPs.

Here’s an easy fix, follow the lore and STOP PANDERING

"Baby Yoda" Shakes head in disappointment

I don't think focusing on a specific timeline will help much at all
