One of my many nerd groups I’m is is one for pre-Disney Star Wars fans which is mainly an EU group and we were talking about how all these shill sites have so many good things to say about the EU now when I can remember them talking about how bad it was when Disney took over. Honestly that was my first awareness of the shill media because nerd sites who were pretty positive about the EU all of a sudden started crapping on it once Disney got rid of it.
Some of the guys see this as a positive sign but I guess I’m cynical because I think they just realize that the sequels and a lot of Disney Star Wars isn’t as popular as they want us to believe. Plus I hear the OT toys still sell pretty well.
So what do y’all think? Is this a positive sign or am I right to be cynical?
And the spite Disney shows. They could’ve easily just made it a separate continuity and continue stories or at the very least finish the Sword if the Jedi trilogy. Imagine how popular Mara Jade would be if they got an attractive red head to play her.
I’m just picturing that scene from the Simpsons where Marge tries to order coffee in an Australian bar.
Fan: “I’d watch a show with an attractive redhead.“
Producer: “One fat black non-binary with a skin disease coming right up.”
Fan: “I said, an attractive redhead.”
Producer: “Right, a fat black non-binary with the skin disease.”
Fan: “R-E-D…”
Producer: “F-A-T…”
Ha!!! So true
