Ye, but still kinda wonder why it took them so long. Might have something to do with being in Damage Control mode since last December...
This has a potential to blow up in their faces like an IED.
I'm kinda hoping it will.
I don't suppose there are any news on the whole thing?

So Chuck Wedig is fired for poor behavior on Twitter Who is he and what did he do? Chuck Wedig was a writer for Marvel and Lucasfilm most notably for writing the Star Wars: Aftermath Trilogy which explored the events immediately after Return of The Jedi. Chuck is rather controversial for his writing style to his political views and how he expresses them especially on social media. He would rant and rave about Trump and at one point it implied that he encrouaged violence against Trump supporters. Ultimately that behavior is what led him to be fired.

Encouraging violence againist others always falls into the category of playing stupid games.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Back when Rian Johnson deleted a tweet that was fairly mild for his standards, people started wondering whether they received a message from Disney to pull their heads in. For the first time in a while there was silence from Lucasfilm and most Star Wars employees regarding how horrible and abusive the fans are. And in fact just a couple of weeks ago we discovered it wasn't the fans responsible for some of the horrible behaviour at all, it was "Russian bots". Russian bots were responsible folks, not the fans. So people have been observing that this seems like a company wide shift in behaviour. A couple of things stood in the way of this theory. First was Chuck Wendig who still gleefully attacked the fans ... like a D-bag and second I think Rian came out and said there was no message from the higher ups. Welp now Chuck has been fired so that's one mystery solved *shrugs*. Disney wants to be buddies with Star Wars fans again ... kinda. Hugs all round

To the people who think Star Wars should just go back to George Lucas, bear in mind he's a good storyteller but not a great filmmaker, at least for the modern era. Personally, I just think Disney should consider bringing George Lucas in as story consultant honestly or executive producer, because if Star Wars Clone Wars proved one thing, he is good at finding people to create awesome Star Wars products.

What does that even mean? The modern era ? So the new standard is the Ghostbusters re-boot? Fucking episode 8?!? Are you fucking kidding me? The Clone Wars are what the prequels SHOULD have been in many ways. Let's be honest, it's disgusting & pathetic that Filoni isn't ALREADY the head of Lucasfilm. The Kennedy thing is messy at best. You don't have to be so apologetic about the current state of the franchise. It's okay to call corporate cunts out when it's appropriate. Let go of your fear man...

"The Force does not want me dead. It does not want me happy, but it does not want me dead." - Zayne Carrick, Knight(technically ex-padawan and fugitive from justice) of the Old Republic I still think that THIS should have been the first Live-action Star Wars TV show. Introduce fans to a different time in the Galaxy Far, Far Away through this story, and you'd be selling that era for a LONG time.

Good. Its about time these turds get whats coming to them when they go off the deep end on social media. Actions and what you say have consequences. He alienated the fan base of a profitable enterprise and the powers that be made him pay the price.

What does that even mean? The modern era ? So the new standard is the Ghostbusters re-boot? Fucking episode 8?!? Are you fucking kidding me? Dude! Calm down! I was referring more along the lines of movies like Force Awakens or Jurassic World (the first one at least). I mean, George Lucas is a very classical film director, making films in a very classical way. But he's not good at mixing new computer graphics with his traditional filmmaking style, unlike directors like Steven Spielberg or James Cameron. When George Lucas does it, his live-action scenes are basic and traditional, but the virtual scenes suddenly take the camera everywhere and it's very jarring like you're watching two different movies at once. If there's one thing the newer movies are doing well, it's being able to shoot their movie in a way that complimented their computer graphics. Just watch this video and you'll see what I'm aiming at:

Well, thanks for the heads up. I guess people should make sure that they have a backup of their favorite mods. I wonder if they will come after the KOTOR2 restored content mod as well. Hopefully it's too old and non-threatening for them. Unfortunately I don't find this attitude too difficult to believe. Fuck EA. I doubt it. This was a different scenario. Still I'll redownload it to be safe.

Best thing to wake up to today:
Good Bye! Never wanted you in Star Wars in the first place, Old Chuck. His writing style was horrid for that series. Present Tense confusion. I didn't care that he put LGBT themes in the book, I cared about how his writing style felt more like a screen play and not like a book, more Zahn, less Wendig.
Edit: he was probably fired from SW and Marvel because of his "unprofessional" behavior on Twatter. XD
