  • So I was forcing myself to watch The Mandalorian the other day when the realisation hit me - Star Wars as a franchise is dead. Its been dying for a long time, but now there's no hiding it. Nobody cares about it anymore. It died because Disney killed it.

    Arguably the biggest issue with The Mandalorian is that it already ended. The finale of season 2 was perfect. We don’t need to know exactly what happened after Grogu went to train with Luke, it was a powerful enough ending to a story in its own right.

    • @goazer2
      @goazer2 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      The other thing with the Mandalorian is that it's supposed to be more of a serial. It's heavily inspired by things like Jonah Hex, Renegade, Paladin and Usagi Yojimbo. It's supposed to be a slow burn that isn't pulling on your emotions all the time.
      That said it was clear Star Wars was dead with Kenobi. If you're going to have more bad going out than good and treat your legacy characters like that the franchise has no hope of recovery. Dave Filoni saved Star Wars twice but he's not a miracle worker.

    Bringing back Grogu was the worst choice this show could possibly have made. The emotional beats around that were actually good. They had the chance to get back to mando being a formidable force without the constant toy adverts.

      No, the only thing that has proven successful, including Obi-Wan the series, which has 3x the viewers of the Mandalorian, is stories connected to the original Star Wars, meaning the Skywalker's. These random "super hero" characters don't sell. Star Wars is the story of Anakin Skywalker, and the rise of Palpatine. There are more than enough connected characters that can be developed.

      That's not true. Most shows are made to make money, that's simply the reality of that business. He just stated what most other of his peer think and always thought.
      You can go on with the episodic adventures (Star Trek TOS, TNG, Stargate SG-1...) if your writing and production keeps things interesting.
      It's also a cultural thing. Usually in the UK, for example, a show has very few seasons and that's it, by design. In America it's simply different.

      t's a free market. Nobody can force audiences to watch Transformers part 2,3,4,5 etc. or Matrix Part 75 or the Star Wars sequels or prequels. A lot of these movies are crap, but audiences lap them up.
      The fact is that mass audiences have low standards and are used to watching big budget special effects with little sense and non-existent storylines. That's why sequels do so well in the first place; audiences are to lazy for originality. Why are you watching Star Wars part 55 anyways? Go watch something new and original like Star Wars was in 1978! Audience is not part of the problem- the audience is the entire problem! Instead of whining about Star Wars part 10,000 the Critical Thinker should be pointing us in the direction of new, original storylines and movie making!

Higher pay only grants you more dollars not more things you can buy with each dollar since businesses just raise the price of things to compensate for the central bank printing more dollars out of thin air. This is so businesses avoid giving things away for free. This devaluation of currency/dollars is known as monetary inflation and is the whole reason bitcoin was invented to park your wealth into a system where your wealth doesn't get robbed from you by central banks who just create money out of thin air, since bitcoin only goes up in value because it is finite rather than down in value which happens with your dollars.as.central banks keeping printing infinite amounts of.)

    Y'know, I think I just realized something. Back in the day, people erroneously thought that genre films and series were for children. Then they became mainstream, and somewhat more mature and challenging, and for a while, reached a complexity and low-concept engagement that took a bit more investment in story and character development. At some point, it seems that studios realized that this meant their merchandise revenue was dwindling, but that, if they just pulled back their strategy to explicitly targeting everything at children, lowering complexity, making it merchandisable again, they could still suck out the grown-ups nostalgia while also making bank with the kids.
    And that's where we're at now. Genre fiction is now more "for children" than it ever was, and in the worst possible way. Make no mistake, Star Wars in 1977 was eminently watchable by children, but it had at least some emotional weight and complexity to it that Disney wouldn't allow in modern iterations.

You get directors/writers with massive egos who think they can write something better and greater than the original but lack any talent in actually doing so. Often making changes that completely undermine the actual story and plot. Like how they're re-writing Peterpan to have the Lost theys because the lost boys wasn't inclusive enough. And for a reason, being said that girls were too smart to get lost like boys did.
      You get The Message crammed into your face every second of the piece of entertainment with the subtlety of two by four being rammed straight between the buttox. You get corporations digging up the corpses of your childhood to try and make them sing and dance once more in hopes to draw more money out of your pockets but all they succeed at flopping have decomposed rotting flesh bags across the stage and then screaming at you to pay them.

    They shot my childhood movies out of a nuclear silo - pointed them at the moon and hit bupkis. All so they could make money on the backs of future working class people who no longer support this kind of thing. Did they ask anyone in the trenches of life to allow for a multi spectrum idea base? Did they try at all? I don't believe they even care if this stuff makes money. I think they are just fine to kill it off by 2025 so they can make some kind of new studio production type. The whole system is set to make an implosion the size of the egos running things. And that is what happens when you demand that every single idea be run like a capitalistic business venture and apply words such as vertical, and Franchise to every single idea seeping out of the spilled, wall toilet that is now the "entertainment industry" Namely Hollywood, and Disney.
    These two sick and salivating behemoths have co-opted, stolen, cajoled, and lied their way to this dark bed of icky. The bad part is all of the tripe hitting the internet. The worse are all of the soon to be unemployed people who genuinely love their trades, getting sent off without so much as a salad toss after the huge anal missile strikes they are getting.
    There goes an entire industry of knowledge, skill and talent.
    But who knows maybe it's for the best as some of these wonders without work will start their own thing out of spite and the ability to make good on the promise made to the global social contract.

    It is so sad. I was a kid when Phantom Menace came out (it hooked me up in Star Wars immediately). I remember how much hype there was for episodes II and III. It was not just a movie, it was something different. Years passed, new Trilogy came... such expectations, so much hope, so much trust. Force Awakens was so confusing. When I walk from Cinema I couldn't understand why it was basically awkward remake of New Hope. But there was still hope. There was still expectations. I go to cinema for a Last Jedi. I never experience something like that. It was not that I didn't like the movie. I active hated it. It was like they spit in my face. I didn't go to the third one. I didn't watch any of a Disney series. Star Wars was death to me the moment I leave the theater after Last Jedi. And it wasnt easy for me. I loved that franchise. They killed it. I will never forgive them.

That was the Prequel Trilogy in a nutshell, flawed for many reasons (George Lucas having too much control compared to the OT) but they felt like Stars Wars movies and there was definitely a sense of passion in the development of the films, particularly the world building and the plot was okay particularly when it all wrapped up by Episode 3. The Sequels felt like empty vassals by comparison, they didn't feel like Star Wars movies, the plot in them was terrible and they blatantly ruined the OT heroes to make way for identity/minority characters who were not interesting or particularly likeable. They also ignored all the work of the Expanded Universe as if over 20 years of writing material expanding the Star Wars universe never even happened.
