She admits that most fans are male, but she made a concerted effort to run off those fans to court those who don’t care about Star Wars. Almost as stupid as whining about no source material after wiping out the EU

And then used it anyway.

To be fair, if they faithfully adapt the Yuuzhan Vong, it will tank Star Wars into negative billions.

The EU was great for the first 20 years. Then it dug it's own grave.

If they can make the Yuuzhan Vong not REALLY evil, but misunderstood and some kind of a refugee allegory, they’ll do it. In fact, we should encourage them to do it.

I recently read the NJO so maybe by comparison to what Star Wars has become it isn’t so bad. It’s definitely a darker tone. If I was adapting something I’d do thrawn trilogy and an animated Crispin solo trilogy. They should’ve used the Kenobi book as a blueprint. Also the Jedi students or Jaina would make for a good adaptation. I liked NJO but I’m more lenient now on older stuff considering the modern day. I was getting ready for the military when it came out so I remember the debates in the forums. I enjoy the EU for the most part. What would you adapt?

The Thrawn trilogy would make a perfect sequel trilogy, certainly compared to the one we got. YJK would make a good kids or YA TV series, and there's enough material in those books to keep it going for several seasons. Those books were the pinnacle of the EU as far as I'm concerned.

The Yuuzhan Vong ruined everything. They were in every way an expression of proto-woke Millennial nihilism, and they didn't belong in Star Wars.

Like I said, I was already pissed at Disney when I read it so everything is skewed for me but I can definitely see what you mean. Hated Anakin’s death. But Disney was stupid to not have Luke’s Jedi academy in the sequels. But of course he can’t because he is white male.

In terms of other EU stuff to adapt, Brian Daley did three stand-alone novels back in the 90s about some of Han Solo's adventures before he met Luke and Obi-Wan. It would have been great to see those adapted instead of the Solo film they did do.

Tales From Jabba's Palace would have been a fun TV series as well. Some great material in that.

She was probably the type of girl to tell the teacher to kick the boys out of the sandbox so the girls can have a turn, then they proceed to sit there and not build anything. More about taking something fun away from boys than anything else.

It’s so tiresome. You would have a very hard time finding a man that wants to destroy whatever show/movie genre it is that has a majority female fanbase. Seriously, men dgaf, and let women like what they like. Men are totally fine with both sides having their own things.

These assholes, on the other hand, just absolutely cannot abide there being things that only/mostly men like, and they have to seek them out, and destroy them. It’s incredible how fucking invasive, destructive, and outright evil every ideology that leftism touches is. It’s a total cancer that is destroying all of society.

Correct.

Dig deeper and you realize that they don't care about money at all.

Taxes aren't to fund your systems, they're to keep you under a burden, so you never stop working. For money. That they print out of thin air.

“My belief is that storytelling does need to be representative of all people,” Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy recently told the New York Times, discussing a pushback by certain corners of the internet against the upcoming Disney+ series, decrying the show for prominently featuring characters of color and women in its cast. “That’s an easy decision for me.”

Nobody cares anymore, Kathy. Not even this fake manufactured outrage bait is going to get normies to watch this slop.

The opposite of love isn't hate; it's indifference.

I stopped caring about Star Wars long ago.

I had Star Wars wallpaper in my bedroom as a child. I had lots of the original action figures, including the special mail in offer Emperor action figure. I have a Boba Fett skull tattoo that I got over 25 years ago.

And I couldn't care less about their corporate boardroom approved trash. It's not Star Wars.

So you would rather be hated by a billionaire with an army of lawyers than have a billionaire who doesn't care about you?

Stop repeating Jewish bullshit.

It's called "context." Try it next time, my Jews-living-rent-free fren.

The context is that you are repeating Elie Wiesel bullshit catch phrase. It is mental poison and you are spreading it.

And in case you don't know: Elie Wiesel is the biggest propagandist of the 20th century. He is the reason the West founding myth was changed to the Holocaust. He is the person who we have to thank for the endless middle east wars. He is the person we have to thank for the inability to criticize jewish people for anything.

I used a fitting quote to stop caring about Disney goyslop. You barge in here with talk of "mental poison" and DA JOOS QUOTE STARTED THE FOREVER WAR, yet you won't do shit.

I repeat: YOU WON'T DO SHIT.

So VOTE HARDER, since YOU WON'T DO SHIT.

Bigoted backlash? People laughing at it and moving on isn't a backlash. It's a financial mistake that everyone can see coming a mile away.

You're not entitled to my money, commie.
