Pretty much. Tore it down without concept. Just handwaving, hot air and hoping speculations fill the gap. TFA wasn't a good movie, but TLJ was an excrescent movie. Something I read is that the 3-year gap between movies by Lucas was to allow for fan reaction. Then he would write the next movie. TLJ was being written before TFA was even finished. TLJ did well because people assume a SW movie is going to be good and head to the theaters. Fan reactions don't seem to be as positive. Just for the hell of it, I looked a Rotten Tomatoes. Critics scored it 90% but fans rated it 45%. Of course, Disney is now known for churning out endless movies and seem to want to squeeze every last drop out of them before discarding them.

I am happy that Resistance is flopping something fierce but apart from watching it continually fail under Disney, there isn't much left for me in Star Wars apart from memories.

It certainly isn't likely, but it IS POSSIBLE that Di$ney could replace K. Kennedy with a competent adult like Dave Filoni in the future. Sadly it will not happen in the next year or two

Excellent point. Believe it or not, I'm popping in AotC in a minute It was my least favorite Star Wars movie, ever. By a mile. And a kilometer. And a tall building. LucasWars is like pizza; even when it's bad it's ok. Yep Something has happened in the last year or so that has made me truly adore the prequels...

Interesting that they seem to intersect with the Force Awakens, and presumably TLJ, within the first season in terms of timeline.

This is understandable on Disney's part, but shit like this won't go over well with the fandom. Especially after it's last two films bombed hard.

J.J. Abrams had a direction. Rian Johnson clearly wasn't following it. To be honest, given the "direction" that J.J's other ideas tended to go, any deviation from his plans is probably for the best.

That might have worked if Rian was more interested in pursuing his own ideas rather than tearing down what JJ set up.

People with a shred of honor would've let it slide with no income for anyone. Especially since it's literally pennies for them. But someone somewhere had to justify a payrise...

Seemed to be worse since I liked TFA much more than TLJ, MUCH MUCH more. I liked the developing friendship between Poe and Finn that I felt was largely missing from TLJ. There was the lingering plot as to why Finn could decently use a lightsaber that was completely ignored. Rey became practically the most competent Jedi who ever lived in TLJ. Dead Leia reviving and flying through space. The idiocy of Vice Admiral Holdo who refused to explain her plan and caused Poe to do something rash. I could go on but there's no point. TFA was the superior movie.

Lucas never seemed to care and it never put Star Wars rights in jeopardy. The monolith that is Disney worries about every penny.

The dude is nothing but set up, regardless of whether or not there was any intention of paying it off.

SW's toy merch sales took a hit with Toys "R" Us closing all of it's stores in the west, and after it's last two film's underperformed both domestically and abroad you can be sure they are seeking to get back a return on their investment, and then some, By Any Means Necessary. Glenn must have been livid.

To me it just looks like they are butthurt someone went and made an actual good Star Wars film. If they had smart PR people they would have congratulated that guy, shown his fanfilm at their next Star Wars convention, show, whatever. Used it to promote the franchise. Instead they threaten the guy and spit on the fandom.
Didn't have any intention of seeing EP9 anyway since its gonna be crap just like the last two, but if I did this would have certainly made me want to boycott Disney's version Star Wars.

It's to be expected but Disney waiting 3 months to claim SWT's video was shocking (expected sooner) and them seeking potential profits from even a fan film after those two bombs is funny. I can picture Iger backed by a squad of on edge cops, hands on their holsters, as he confiscates a Power Wheels from a crying 6 year old, and distressed parents because a X-34 landspeeder shaped frame was built around the original vehicle's frame. Nevermind a boycott but EP9 was already giving me bad vibes (actors improvising).

So EA canceled that Vancouver open world Star Wars project (which was apparently still in early development phases, but according to Jason Schreier the team has now pivoted to working on a smaller Star Wars project due out in 2020. Apparently the EA higher ups have suddenly decided (perhaps after pressure from Disney?) that they need more Star Wars games sooner.
