My father took me to a movie when I was 7 years old. I was in the theatre in 1977 for the release of Star Wars: A New Hope... I was a rabid fan of everything "Star Wars" until 2018 and have shunned everything Disney since that time. They know what they did... The cash cow is dead.
Erik Kain called out critics and Disney/Lucasfilm after the Acolyte came out and at some point said that blaming fans doesn't work when the shows are actually mid at best and bad at worst. Looks like Tassi is finally facing up to reality in his own way. I'd love to know how KK still has a job, she must have some serious dirt on everyone in Hollywood or something.
Disney didn't overmine the Skywalker era. They delegitimized the EU, plagiarized it, murdered the skywalkers, desecrated the corpses, and bragged about it.
I just want to know why Lucasfilm is allowed to burn money like this. The budgets they are throwing around has bankrupted studios in the past. Remember when the industry was traumatized by John Carter's failure? Well Lucasfilm is now spending John Carter level budgets on almost every damn project.
Theygot jealous of the K Foundation literally burning a million £s and decided to go one better by burning investors' money, figuratively, through pointless projects.
I'll just leave this right here... WEF, ESG, Event 201, Covid = LARGEST. WEALTH. TRANSFER. IN. HISTORY. (also biggest coverup/astroturfing campaign in history and still innocent Jan 6ers and Canadian Truckers in jail for exercising their rights to peaceful protest) Anyone who thinks its not all connected is not doing their research (and why wouldn't you? Why would you assume so many are crazy and don't know what they're talking about when you never even looked past the spin and BS to try and find the facts that support the underlying reality of this situation?)

Have you looked at who they are sworn to serve and what all they've done to serve who they are actually serving in treasonous violation of their oaths? No? Okay then, we'll wait.
Star Wars is about the hero's journey. A farm boy overcomes great odds to become a galactic hero. It's not about homosexuals & freaks & geeks seeking acceptance. No matter how much Disney wants it to be.
Yup, it's about the correct (and incorrect) expression of masculinity. Adapting and overcoming, perseverance against overwhelming odds and the hope that righteousness inevitably wins out when you do. Not to sound woo-woo but it's essentially the power of positivity (not unlike most properly practiced religions, secular philosphy and psychological practices). Luke and His Dad/the Jedi vs. the Sith, same as Mufasa and Scar, Goku and Vegeta, Superman and Lex Luthor, Batman and Joker etc. etc. ad nauseum ad infinitum... That's why dudes get so pissed when they try to subvert it and sh*t on us. We're the good guys and these IPs are how we know it to be true. These characters represent the duality in us, our greatest aspirations and our worst fears of what we could become were we not so careful and diligent. Even Spider-Man has that dynamic with his primary enemies (Norman/Harry/the Goblins and the Symbiote). With great power comes great responsibility. There's a reason most women, gays and/or weaker minded people (i'm by no means saying all those things normally all go hand in hand, nor am i saying it's all hormonal and/or genetic, it's often cult brainwashing to some extent as well) don't know how to write a man properly. They (again, in the general sense) don't know what it means or takes to be one as they usually play a whole different game when it comes to the ethical application of power and/or the lack thereof. Which is to say they don't do so ethically at all, and they erroneously see it as "power games" so they play weakness games to "counter" it. And by "counter i really mean "subvert reality by spinning a false narrative of generalized masculine oppression when it's the very reason they are even capable of doing so in the first place" (cuz we all see how far down the various slippery slopes society starts to slide when the meek inherit the earth so to speak)
What about Luke becoming a grandmaster, restoring the Jedi, building the new Jedi order, marrying Mara Jade, and becoming a father? We are not tired of the Skywalker era, we are tired of Disney's terrible lore breaking ideas.
@@iturnedintoamartian-cm6nd That's my point. They ruined Luke and then told us that we are tired of the Skywalker era. We are just tired of them making foolish decisions. In lore, Luke became the most powerful Jedi ever. He married Mara, who was sent to kill him and ended up falling in love with Luke. The real Skywalker story was fantastic. And what did they do with Luke? They made him a loser.
I believe skeleton crew failed because they created a Star Wars sci-fi adventure series aimed for girls. What Disney still have to learn is that girls isn’t a big market for sci-fi, and boys isn’t a big market for girl centered stories
Rey had potential, when she was introduced. They just didn't know what to do with anything introduced even though George Lucas gave them a few ideas or scripts they could have used, but didn't.
@@sigmacademy I agree that it is a male market for female protagonist. Dark Angel was super popular among boys in my time. But unless Disney is prepared to find a new Jessica Alba they will have a very niche pre-teen/early-teen group of boys that will watch.
@@misterbrady100 Ray was faulted from the get go. Disney basically created a female role model to get girls interested in Star Wars and then built a story to advertise her. Maybe a good marketing plan but a bad way to create compelling story
Recommend Disney stop all new Stars Wars productions, close Galaxies Edge and just release the original 6 films back into the theaters. The release rate should be 1 film per year for the next 6 years. Then say a prayer that fan interest in Stars Wars returns.
But that would revitalize the franchise! The whole point was to use their investors money to destroy Star Wars, not keep it going! If they fix it their rich capitalist pig investors might eventually see a return on their money. The people in the 'C' suite at Disney will not stand for that!
Paul Tassi's Christmas check from Disney didn't clear. Also, every single Star Wars that failed has been well outside the Skywalker era. It's Rey and the Republic that they've mined too much to little effect.
The KOTOR and SWTOR were massive successful video games, and those didn’t fail. The idea anything outside of the Skywalker fails is nonsense. Bad stories always fail and Disney hasn’t learned that
If Andor and Skeleton Crew are well reviewed but still have pitiful audience numbers, and thr numbers are similar to Acolyte, I think the problem might be with Disney Plus.
Mmmmm, not necessarily. Plenty of people watched Mando. That said, keep putting out slop, people stop tuning in. It isn't worth the effort to pay to watch one good story every couple of years that they need to get trusted reviews before they will waste their time on it. People would rather keep up with proven content that they can trust than put forth the extra effort to be probably disappointed.
Paul Tassi is a self-admitted or self-described liberal, so his judgment, honesty & practicality are automatically going to be in doubt. Therefore, his being candid about an Acolyte-ized (aka, Budweiser-ized) Lucasfilm/Disney is a case of even a broken clock giving the correct time twice a day.
The question is who set's these budgets? Why it's the Producer. Who is graded on budget vs return ratio to their investors. Now the question is why are these Producer's still helming project's? The track record of blown budgets and no return on investment to Stakeholders represented by Associate Producers. Is the main cause of concern. Hence this move to sequels and spin offs from sequels should have a set return. Disney appears to have a major incompetent Producer's problem. Keep in mind the Producer secured to funds based on a story property they hold under contract. The fact that they keep over budgeting every project shows how incompetent these Producers are. Why would you budget a series with Blockbuster numbers. If the idea is to sell the series for pick up. That includes selling it to your own network. Sows the seeds of failure from conception. Now when will this situation bloom into a mushroom cloud of pink slips is the mystery..
Apparently kids at my kids school ask each other if they are going to go home and watch Star Wars…. And it is meant as an absolute insult. I heard it when I went to pick one of my kids up and the group of kids around busted out laughing and there were some ooohhhs! Asked my daughter and she laughed and said it is a way to tell people they are lame. I think this generation is bringing back the ‘90s kind of dragging each other. It has been pretty funny seeing the things they come up with. Way different than when my stepson was this age and had to be really careful of what was said at school.
Guess the freebies are not that great lately. If you overspend on your show something has to give somewhere looks like the freebies for access media got cut.
In order to be taken seriously, occasionally you need to tell the truth in the moment to cover those times when you don't. This meanwhile, is wetting your finger to see which way the wind is blowing. So stunning, so brave, so hard hitting.
from a reasonable budget perspective, Star Wars is making money hand over fist by scheduling multiple outlandlishly expensive projects with negative expected returns and then cancelling them to free up cash and improve the division's bottom line.
They've damaged their brand is what they've done. Brand recognition is trust-based. You trust certain brands will have a level of quality, and so you choose those brands over other brands. Now that trust has been broken, and people don't choose the Star Wars brand any longer. And there is no easy fix for this. They can either go radio silent long enough for nostalgia to kick in and make people want it once more, or they can slowly and meticulously win that trust back with a a slew of high quality shows and movies.
The Elephant in the room why Lucas Film content hardly registers a blip on the ratings platforms with the likes of Skeleton Crew is because Disney + doesn’t have the subscribers they claim they have !!! It’s all Micky Mouse economics at house of Mouse for their earnings calls. People used to subscribe just for the new Star Was Series - then unsubscribe. Those people don’t even subscribe anymore for a month to watch the latest series from Lucas Film. Really struggle to see what demographic of person or family actually subscribe to Disney + I’m guessing subscriptions have plummeted.
The fans don't care anymore, let it burn..... I don't even want to watch the OG. This coming from a guy who saw all the originals in the theater and waited in lines..... The opposite of love is not hate, it's appothy
I watch this show, and I love it. I use torrent though. I use that for everything, even though I do specifically avoid supporting Disney. So does everyone else. If we want to get the real idea of how the show is doing, then we need to compare it to only Disney Plus shows, the way that I did with Agatha All Along. That is currently the only way to measure any Disney Plus show.
I used to watch SW (first 6) back to back. They (disney and mark hammel.) spoiled it so bad for me that i only watch LOTR. I refuse to watch amazon lotr and refuse to acknowledge it
The problem here is he is doing a lot of mental gymnastics & still blaming the audience & everything else wrong with Disneys Star Wars on the audience. So Paul Tassi here finally at least saying Disneys Star Wars is failing means nothing
In 2025, someone at Disney is going to have to turn around and say to Kathleen Kennedy, enough is enough, after 10-15 years a 4bn venture is run into the ground, we are not extending your contract.
did disney actually buy "bluey"? if they did that show will likely start to decline in quality within the year. seriously it's disney, it's where all IP's come to die.
I have no doubt this is money laundering 191 because there is no way these people seriously thought their stupid ideas were going to resonate with the fanbase. Disney has destroyed its good will, nobody wants to support them anymore. DEI is desth for the audience, business, and the future.
Die Hard is not a Christmas Movie. Is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang or Iron Man 3 a "Christmas" movie? KKBB starred Val Kilmer and IM3's Robert Downey, jr., and it didn't have much to do with Christmas. Neither did Iron Man 3.
Disney please don’t listen to Paul Tassi. They say that if you can’t beat them, join them. Therefore it would fitting in this holiday season for you Disney to find some way to reach out to me. I have the stories and a plan to reenergize Lucasfilm and more importantly the fans. Let me pitch please. Furthermore it would be fitting now to reach out me because after writing, emailing , losing one TH-cam account and starting another over several years of asking for a chance to pitch finding me here would be a good olive branch to extend to fans as you take a risk, a leap of faith like Indy to find a solution to save Lucasfilm. It is the holidays and like a character in “Love Actually” I thought to ask “Please let me pitch.” I’ve been called delusional several times but I take what Stan Lee said about ideas to heart. Besides I think Mr. Bergman can use some Hope and cheer and I feel his “our” means what he’s done and omits theirs for what others have done. The future of Lucasfilm can be brighter tomorrow with me pitching and I’d like to see Mr. Lucas’ studio stand a bit longer please. Happy holidays and have Hope fans!
HAHAHA thank you capt obvious (paul tassi) how much money are you getting paid to state the obvious that everyone else already knew. How do you still have a job?
Tassi is all about being contradictory for the clicks. His articles aren’t about being objective like his coworker Erik Kain. Tassi is all about fanning the flames because he thinks that makes him relevant. Fire this guy already.
I dont agree at all about not releasing the Mando movie. I for one would be first in line as i still have some hope for it to bring the SW feeling back, Even if much of season 3 stunk. Skeleton Crew is not very good, i hated Ashoka and Andor, i blatantly refused to watch Acolyte as i heard enough s about it. Mando is the ONLY saving Grace Disney has to redeem SW. Get KK and Filoni far away from lucasfilm.
Paul Tassi is a massive Bungie shill. I lost all respect for him long before anyone else because of his sad pathetic opinion of the state of Destiny 2. Even the stuff universally panned by the players he loves
Jeez the issue is that they glossed over Luke/Leia/Han and went to MaryReySUE and the Lesbian Witches crap. People literally wanted Grogu to be trained by Luke in a series. And what they Did to Vader And Ben(did he ride the short bus to the Jedi Academy) in that series is criminal, and watching the uncoordinated toddler Leia run around and look like a pretentious girl boss brat was not endearing but laughable and repulsive. Women are clueless for the most part in entertainment today. Sure there are exceptions but for the most part they are talentless hacks who have a agenda to spread and they are to Arrogant and Self Centered to realize that Men can easily tune them out and move on. They think because society has for some odd reason bent a knee to women and told them they are all So Special and Princess and that they live by a Different set of rules than men....and a lot of Men From Dads to Husbands/BF to Grandpa's feed into that delusion within their inner circle ..... that this is how it operates everywhere. They just don't get that while they can invade a Man Zone and try and change it to a feminist zone it will fail because men who have Zero connection to them really don't give two Fudges about them and will abandon them and their message completely.
I hear the ray movie will fix everything I pry they spend 1 billion dollars oh no now they may not be making it I am devastated well not really except I can’t laugh at them kind sad about that
There is a word for being this slow. Also I’m just so sick of the myth of misogyny, we literally have open misandrists being considered experts in gender equality and surprise, surprise they’ve concluded women are the only people in the world that matter. Misogyny just isn’t much of a thing tbh.
If I had to guess, Tassi started getting mocked at the office
More like his bosses told him to pivot. He'd been writing nonsense for a long time and no one at Forbes batted an eye. They loved the controversy, and he loved the pay. So much for integrity in journalism😅

It's so apt that I can hardly quote any of it here...
It starts with "The press is a gang of..."
What happened was the election result in November.
Star Wars is not about Luke Skywalker anymore, it's Amanda Stenberg strutting around telling me don't "F" with her discourse.
I coulda swore there was a shocker emoji... I'm losing it lol 😅 Of course there isn't, feminists are no fun😏
The insane weirdo's are in charge now. Normal hard working folks are seen as the enemy who are outside the Norm...... and those Weirdo's demand our fealty and money to boot. It's freaking beyond any reason.
To be fair, Mark Hamill basically does the same shit.
@@SolStoneWell stated!
Pretty sure Tasi was already saying it was failing but blaming that on misogynistic men instead of Disney's own idiocy

13:49. I disagree with Pro. They are not stupid, they are deliberate. They KNOW it will fail, but they still do it regardless.
Wow, so quick to state the truth. Only 13 years late. Slow your roll Tassi.🤣🤣🤣

Lucasfilm has been in a death spiral since TLJ. It is now in its death throes.
Shareholders own the stupid label. I sold Disney in 1998 when they turned political on issues. Yet, I always hope for a return to sanity.
Watch it or not, Skeleton Crew is a lot of things. None, of those things is Star Wars.
Ever watch Space Cases? you should go back and watch that THEN watch Skeleton Crew. :D

The fans don't care anymore, let it burn..... I don't even want to watch the OG. This coming from a guy who saw all the originals in the theater and waited in lines..... The opposite of love is not hate, it's appothy
how are the what if season 3 numbers? disney marvel dies a lot of ads 😂😂😂
I watch this show, and I love it. I use torrent though. I use that for everything, even though I do specifically avoid supporting Disney. So does everyone else.
If we want to get the real idea of how the show is doing, then we need to compare it to only Disney Plus shows, the way that I did with Agatha All Along. That is currently the only way to measure any Disney Plus show.
I used to watch SW (first 6) back to back. They (disney and mark hammel.) spoiled it so bad for me that i only watch LOTR. I refuse to watch amazon lotr and refuse to acknowledge it
Tassi can always be counted on for his UBER-NORMIE takes on gaming
The problem here is he is doing a lot of mental gymnastics & still blaming the audience & everything else wrong with Disneys Star Wars on the audience. So Paul Tassi here finally at least saying Disneys Star Wars is failing means nothing
In 2025, someone at Disney is going to have to turn around and say to Kathleen Kennedy, enough is enough, after 10-15 years a 4bn venture is run into the ground, we are not extending your contract.
did disney actually buy "bluey"? if they did that show will likely start to decline in quality within the year.
seriously it's disney, it's where all IP's come to die.
I have no doubt this is money laundering 191 because there is no way these people seriously thought their stupid ideas were going to resonate with the fanbase. Disney has destroyed its good will, nobody wants to support them anymore. DEI is desth for the audience, business, and the future.
It's easy, fire Bob and KK and apologize for calling us all raaaacists.
Not Russian bots?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Time making up for Trump being person of the year….
Sad state of disney SW. The blame lies with Kathleen Kennedy
I bet Tassi becomes Pauline soon.
Subtractive Returns Wars.
💩🤡Wars
Paul tassi outs himself as alt right, ect ect, I see
Die Hard is not a Christmas Movie.
Is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang or Iron Man 3 a "Christmas" movie? KKBB starred Val Kilmer and IM3's Robert Downey, jr., and it didn't have much to do with Christmas. Neither did Iron Man 3.
Star Wars is doomed in the hands of Disney
1) paul is dumb, 2) andor was boring as fuck except for 2 episodes, wokalyte and crew? swino crap, 3) yeah it does, 4) godzilla minus one.
No more DEI$ney 🛍️ for Tassi 😭
If they would just allow Kathleen Kennedy to spend even MORE money, they'd have a hit! Lol
Failing? It's dead and bloated now😂
HAHAHA crickets hahah ffunny pro XDD
Lego 😂😂
Disney please don’t listen to Paul Tassi. They say that if you can’t beat them, join them. Therefore it would fitting in this holiday season for you Disney to find some way to reach out to me. I have the stories and a plan to reenergize Lucasfilm and more importantly the fans. Let me pitch please. Furthermore it would be fitting now to reach out me because after writing, emailing , losing one TH-cam account and starting another over several years of asking for a chance to pitch finding me here would be a good olive branch to extend to fans as you take a risk, a leap of faith like Indy to find a solution to save Lucasfilm. It is the holidays and like a character in “Love Actually” I thought to ask “Please let me pitch.” I’ve been called delusional several times but I take what Stan Lee said about ideas to heart. Besides I think Mr. Bergman can use some Hope and cheer and I feel his “our” means what he’s done and omits theirs for what others have done. The future of Lucasfilm can be brighter tomorrow with me pitching and I’d like to see Mr. Lucas’ studio stand a bit longer please. Happy holidays and have Hope fans!
HAHAHA thank you capt obvious (paul tassi) how much money are you getting paid to state the obvious that everyone else already knew. How do you still have a job?
You sniveling dorks are hilarious 😂
Andor was good
Tassi is all about being contradictory for the clicks. His articles aren’t about being objective like his coworker Erik Kain. Tassi is all about fanning the flames because he thinks that makes him relevant. Fire this guy already.
I dont agree at all about not releasing the Mando movie. I for one would be first in line as i still have some hope for it to bring the SW feeling back, Even if much of season 3 stunk. Skeleton Crew is not very good, i hated Ashoka and Andor, i blatantly refused to watch Acolyte as i heard enough s about it. Mando is the ONLY saving Grace Disney has to redeem SW. Get KK and Filoni far away from lucasfilm.
That one will not save them one bit.....SW is done and dead as a rusty filthy nail!
Andor ended up being really good mesnwhile Skeleton Crew ain't that bad so far.
Paul Tassi is a massive Bungie shill. I lost all respect for him long before anyone else because of his sad pathetic opinion of the state of Destiny 2. Even the stuff universally panned by the players he loves
Jeez the issue is that they glossed over Luke/Leia/Han and went to MaryReySUE and the Lesbian Witches crap. People literally wanted Grogu to be trained by Luke in a series. And what they Did to Vader And Ben(did he ride the short bus to the Jedi Academy) in that series is criminal, and watching the uncoordinated toddler Leia run around and look like a pretentious girl boss brat was not endearing but laughable and repulsive. Women are clueless for the most part in entertainment today. Sure there are exceptions but for the most part they are talentless hacks who have a agenda to spread and they are to Arrogant and Self Centered to realize that Men can easily tune them out and move on. They think because society has for some odd reason bent a knee to women and told them they are all So Special and Princess and that they live by a Different set of rules than men....and a lot of Men From Dads to Husbands/BF to Grandpa's feed into that delusion within their inner circle ..... that this is how it operates everywhere. They just don't get that while they can invade a Man Zone and try and change it to a feminist zone it will fail because men who have Zero connection to them really don't give two Fudges about them and will abandon them and their message completely.
No one wants a show with a smart girl, a kid with two moms and a white guy as the bad guy! Talk about liberal stereotype.
I hear the ray movie will fix everything I pry they spend 1 billion dollars oh no now they may not be making it I am devastated well not really except I can’t laugh at them kind sad about that
There is a word for being this slow.
Also I’m just so sick of the myth of misogyny, we literally have open misandrists being considered experts in gender equality and surprise, surprise they’ve concluded women are the only people in the world that matter. Misogyny just isn’t much of a thing tbh.
Whoever he is, he's years way to late to the Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Star Wars is now a Dead Franchise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
