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?
I'll never trust most of these media companies ever again. They'll twist, lie, and say anything if they think it'll help them manipulate fans of an IP or franchise.
At this point we're all better off turning our backs on the companies and doing whatever we want with the franchises in our own way, ignoring any news or updates being pushed by Disney or their like.
