Imagine a world where the owners of an IP actually appealed to the fans of the IP. I know sometimes you can expand your customer base with certain products but certainly not when you try to do it at the expense of loyal customers.

I remember thinking after the massive positive reaction that Luke’s appearance at the end of Mando season 2 that it was the perfect time to retcon stuff. I’m a huge fan of the expanded universe and thought it was dumb to just wipe it out instead of continuing it in its own continuity. I remember someone tried to get me to watch Ashoka saying the have elements of Heir to the Empire. I would just rather see an adaptation of it than Disney’s bastardized version.
I’ve heard that Favreau hated TLJ
Anyone with a functioning brain hates the entire Disney Trilogy. Based off the first season of Mando (the only season that exists IMO) Favreau has a love for the universe, so it would hit him doubly hard.
Yea I didn’t like it. Granted after reading the EU stuff for years I didn’t care for the direction they took but the fact they couldn’t reunite the big three and have them pass the torch is crazy. Han and Leia can’t be together, Luke’s Jedi school doesn’t make it in the show and they couldn’t show him being at least a little heroic.
The character assassination of the original three is unforgivable and indicative of the post-modern rot that has infected the “creatives”. I know everyone says left wingers make the best art, but I feel that tide has already changed. Deconstruction of tropes and subversion of expectations are now the expectation. In the same way it was revolutionary and surprising for trump to pick a white dude VP, it is surprising for a film to have a white guy BE THE HERO.
Jesus save us, modernity has failed us.
I loved Han and Leia’s relationship in the EU but looking back it seems like modern writers despise regular hetero relationships. Good point about Vance. I was surprised. I thought it would be Scott or Gabbard.
