What you mean that trailer that was basically "I grew up the daughter of a great fighter pilot" and did absolutely nothing to tease what rogue squadron would even be about could potentially be an even worse show than the current disney crap?
The last Top Gun literally had a souped-up trench run. You could totally do a cool movie/show focused on a fighter squadron and have it make a billion dollars, but not produced by any of the current Disney/Bad Reboot crop.
I've come to resent how much of my adolescence was tied up in fiction. I haven't given them a red cent for the better part of a decade, and still my first thought on seeing this headline was "Rogue Squadron? Wedge? That sounds awesome!"
I had the same thought and I really never even liked Star Wars as a property.
There was a time when despite the franchise being in a rough place in terms of media, they were still pumping out good games in a lot of genres. You didn't even need to give a shit about SW for the original Lego games, or Rogue Squadron, or Jedi Knight to be fun classics.
And Disney knows it, that's why they named it that specifically to play on your nostalgia. That's their favorite game.
I definitely do not resent such things. Of course I don't know your s tory, but my sucked at every turn. The best outcome I could possibly have for a day was complete neglect and starvation, with the day spent reading books or playing videogames. I needed those escapes because it was the only time I wasn't getting the shit beat out of me by drunks or drug addicts. Besides the escape, it was the only chance I ever got for heroes and role models and stories that werent outright nightmares.
Star Wars in particular, is based on a tyrannical government playing both sides and completely taking over everything while the masses applauded and the politicians who were supposed to keep checks and balances cheered on the takeover. If this isn't a perfect allegory for the modern world, what is?
I dont resent how much of my childhood is tied to such things, I resent how the modern left is not only trying to take it away form me and all future generations, but actively trying to destroy it and poison it
don't ever resent what made up, brother. Resent those who are trying to take it from us.
Disney execs wanted to include Wedge in their trilogy and were planning to kill him if it had happened.
I haven't seen any new SW production since TLJ and I have zero intention to do so after how spectacularly they fumbled a money printer.
A jedi academy would have pretty much been "Hogwarts in SPAAACE!" and yet Luke's academy was destroyed before the first sequel film even started. One of the biggest and stupidest decisions handling this franchise there will probably ever be.
...Disney is finally realizing the limitations of owning the popular Star Wars franchise...
If they hadn't fucking ruined the reputation by churning out crap and "subverting expectations" constantly, the franchise would still be a goddamn goldmine. Limitations isn't the issue.
...boldly invested time and resources into several prominent tie-in shows...
Basically, see above. They ruined it, seemingly mostly on purpose, too. Also, "boldly," really? What else are you going to do with a franchise, than produce related works? Even making good entertainment usually isn't "bold," and making bad entertainment and ruining beloved franchises certainly isn't.

oops.
We have Top Gun already. Get Tom Cruise to turn it into a TV Show, or have him direct this. It'd be awesome.

China stopped wanting their woke crap so they’re fully invested in single women again.
Sounds more like the dead horse can't be beaten for cash anymore so might just stop bothering with Star Wars
Which might sound great until you realise they are locusts and will move to the next property.
The only thing we saw about this show was a logo and a glorified selfie video of the director talking about how cool she is. It was going to be shit.
Somehow will still have 100% IMDB/RT rating I assume?

Feminism cannot create, it can only corrupt or destroy.
Hahaha, that paragraph is such a load of crap.
