No, they love the “new” fans who stopped spending money on the franchise after being catered to exclusively. The fan base that kept the franchise a gold mine for decades got pissed on and told that the force is female.
I remember a Disney Star Wars fan laughed at me for saying that they should’ve continued legends along with their own canon since you already had fans invested in that EU content. They said it was garbage and specifically mentioned the clone emperor. He never got back to me after rise of Skywalker
Lol, yeah the EU bashing stopped when it was pointed out that they unintentionally stole the two worst ideas from the two worst books. They didn't even do anything interesting with it like Dark Empire did.
Hell, Dark Empire kinda sucked but at least trying to adapt that would've seemed less derivative.
Agreed. For as much crap as Disney shills give Dark Empire it’s certainly not terrible and they should’ve just done that story if that was all they had
Due to my love for Andy Griffith Show and Happy Days I don’t want to attack Ron Howard. (Plus he directed Splash, the movie that made me appreciate mermaids) but I guess he would need to use high level physics to explain how they listen to fans.
The fun thing is, he is technically right...If and only if we count Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau as the entirety of Lucasfilm.
It is absolutely no coincidence that the more free rein he has had, the more "Star Wars" the series have been. He basically had a blank check when making Season 1 of Mando, as well as a lot of leeway in Season 2. He did most of Star Wars Rebels, which was a pretty good entry and finally introduced Grand Admiral Thrawn to the Disney universe (you have no idea how much I would pay and/or Kill to have the Thrawn Trilogy on video). He has free rein of The Bad Batch, which I think is pretty good even if it kind of flies under the radar. And apparently he has free rein with the upcoming Ahsoka series, and there have been rumors he is going to finally put into canon his "eject" button in case Disney ever has a moment of sanity and decides to fix Star Wars.
Star Wars would be infinitely better off if those guys were in charge of it. We will see what will happen. Because now it is starting to come out in sources that are usually accurate with their dirt (instead of just mere rumor mongers) that Kathleen Kennedy is out of Lucasfilm after Indy 5 is release. On terms that will make it sound like the leaving of the conquering hero, of course, but still. The optimist in me hopes Filoni gets the big chair at Lucasfilm, even thought that probably wont happen because Disney Gonna Disney until they literally cant anymore.
Yea. I heard Favreau hated last Jedi and showed a heroic Luke in Mandalorian as an eff you to Rian Johnson. Unfortunately it is too late for me. I’m strictly pre Disney Star Wars at this point. Probably would’ve been different had Filoni and Favreau done the trilogy. They don’t hate Star Wars. There are plenty of legends books and comic books I still have to read and I can watch episodes 1-6 til the end of time. I hope the Thrawn they cast is good but they could still do an animated Heir to the Empire or NJO and just say it’s non canon or another universe
For me, I have kind of just became a-la carte on my Star Wars. If something is good, like Andor, I will watch it, and I will skip anything else and do my best to pretend it never existed.
Which admittedly results in me having a very....strange Star Wars timeline (Episode 1-3, Rogue One+Andor, Episode 4-6, the good Post 6 stuff taking place in the far reaches of the galaxy where information travels difficult, then instead of Episode 7 we go into the original EU a few years late).
As for Thrawn, so far he has only been animated and shown up in Rebels. But he is rumored to be in the Ashoka series, and either way their VA nails the role, at least IMO.
This is a very simple obfuscation using redefined terms in order to fool people who are pathologically credulous. It’s very similar to when democrats claim to be defending “our democracy”. What they really mean is “their tyranny”, but you can’t admit to such a thing. Another good example is the CDC referring to experimental gene therapeutics as “vaccines”. When Ron Howard says “the fans”, he means “the new fans to whom we pandered while preexisting fans were ignored and insulted”. Everything becomes crystal clear when you correctly define terms.
I'm almost disgusted at myself for being tempted to get Fallen Jedi Order for $5. I have to keep reminding myself "it's EA, and you have to register with them, even for a fucking single player game."
There are enough "souls likes" out there to fill a lifetime at this point. There is no need for the one with the ugliest black woman in existence made by EA.
Yeah, this is a blatant lie as they really mean that they only listen to regressive leftist fans while treating everything else as spam as per company policy, if they even bother to do that.

"new fans" are the only fans so he is correct about listening to fans
Oh yeah fans were just clamoring for a sassy black-sounding droid to put the evil white men in their place.
And “pansexual” Lando played by a dweeb
Solo lost money.
Hello Jeremy. Lol

I’ve heard people say that Andor is good but unfortunately Disney has run off a good chunk of fans who probably would’ve liked it
The Book of Boba Fett was the last nail I used to seal up the coffin for my interest in Star Wars before burying it.
How bad was it? I have Tales of the Bounty Hunters which was an EU book and lots of adventure with Boba Fett. I guess it wasn’t like that.
They tried to tell a gangster revenge story on formerly family-friendly Disney+. The whole thing was poorly written and just looked cheap.
Here's some of the "action."
Lol. Well as a kid that didn’t bother me

Desperate for work, possibly.

This is the same Ron Howard who made Rush...they really do own everyone

The only thing I know about Ron Howard is that Homer Simpson killed him once ...
Ron Howard is a liar.
