I'm seeing this all over the internet where there's this secret cabal of Disney execs, who decided to destroy Star Wars.

Sorry, that's just not the case. This is not the C-suite vs humanity epic battle of wits. This is one nasty, men-hating bitch, Kathleen Kennedy and her cronies vs humanity.

What happened was that Lucas mistakenly took Kathleen to be a friend/ally .... however, instead, little did he know but his protege, who was with Lucasfilm since the time of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and 'Return of the Jedi' was a snake in the grass, a Femi-Nazi Manchurian candidate of a Palpatine-like nature. Yes, Lucas handed the franchise over to her and Disney simply allowed Lucasfilm to run as a wholly owned subsidiary under Lucas's hand chosen successor.

As long as the franchise made money, Disney's executives gave carte blanche to Kathleen Kennedy.

So let's stop with the Disney bashing. For all intensive purposes, they did the right thing. Let Lucasfilm run itself and it can make money for the parent company w/o needing to micromanage the organization.

I'm sure you're a great Dad and your kids are lucky. I still think it's best for a culture to have multiple role models. If we had strong male role models like we used to I suspect this 3rd wave feminist crap would still just be fringe.


Yes, because we have dysfunctional households (FYI, my own family) and single moms, all over the place.

With that, the "clan" influence is very anti-male and somehow, kids only have things like Star Wars or Star Trek to look up to and now, both of those franchises are SJW and anti-male at their respective cores.

Just yesterday, I was at a restaurant where all the ladies at an adjacent table were yapping while the silent guys were quietly playing with their smart phones. Seriously, that's where our society is going, men are being reduced to gamers and eunuchs.

I was enjoying a dish of Arancini, so I didn't want to puke that out, so I did my best to ignore them.

Saw Rise of Skywalker the other day, LOVED IT! They stuck to the main story, no side-quests, and some pretty cool reveals about the dark side. And the ending was perfect, didn't try to replicate the Ewok village celebration, which was a great call.

Hollywood lives in a social bubble, lots of gay and feminist influences that keep pouring in, and eventually those left wing lobbying groups get their way.

As of today, 'Rise of Skywalker' has hit $815M globally.

Now that the holiday season is wrapping up, this movie has already done too well, to in any way or form, be considered a flop. It'll easily top the $1B mark and level off somewhere in that exalted zone between 'Dark Knight Rises' and 'The Avengers'.

In effect, this is the fourth 'Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls', a stupid, idiotic film which still grossed $786M. Remarkable, considering what a joke that was against any of the films near 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'.

Haven’t seen rise of sky walker yet. It’s entirely due to the fetid turd that was the last Jedi.

However, The Mandalorian is amazing. Everything Star Wars is supposed to be. Interesting characters, cool space scenes, mysterious stories.

I hope disney learned it’s lesson about shoveling sjw garbage down our throats.

IJ4 was a disappointment compared to first 3.

But the fact that IJ4 made money, is the reason why they'll have more sequels, despite it adding nothing to the legend of Indiana Jones.

Ok, I was able to find a pirate server and got a chance to watch TROS, to one, corroborate the spoilers and two, not to pay Kathleen Kennedy Inc for that effort.

And here's my take ... while the story is preposterous and perhaps,completely infeasible (given the fact that now the Force can not only be used for psychic calls but also for the teleportation of small sized objects), along with a host of other stupid stuff, the movie did do something which TLJ completely failed at ... it didn't throw the guys under the bus.

Yes, in this story, Poe and Finn were both good leaders & heroes, and were even able to attract some good-looking lady friends (NO, not Rose, the chunky Asian) w/o the whole thing looking like a bunch of love sick teenagers, always pining after Daisy Ridley in some lame ass love triangles. Yes, the boys grew up even though I'm sure they didn't get laid until the movie was officially over.

So the men were handled well and this even includes the First Order's Hux, who was made to look like a complete loser in the first two movies. Here, he indicates that he's actually got some purpose and could not accept that the First Order could be run by a dickwad like Adam Driver.

And surprisingly, even Adam Driver wasn't Keanu Reeves redux in this movie, which was a breathe of fresh air.

So all and all, stupid story but not a complete SJW flop like 'Last Jedi'. It's basically an Independence Day -minus because like ID4, it was more comical than serious.

As long as one sees this movie as let's say 'Escape of LA', a parody (almost to the point of being farcical) of the far superior original, 'Escape from NY', then it's not unwatchable.

Ok, looks like my prediction is on target, here's the web url on the box office gross

It's going to pretty much be in that zone between 'Dark Knight Rises' and 'Avengers', as expected after a successful holiday week.

Sorry, but that's enough financial success for Kathleen Kennedy to spend the rest of her career at Lucasfilm's helm. Yes, I know, life sucks and then you die.

https://babylonbee.com/news/in-new-episode-the-mandalorian-has-to-protect-baby-yoda-from-being-ruined-by-rian-johnson

“ U.S.—In the latest episode of Disney+’s hit show The Mandalorian, Baby Yoda -- widely regarded as the greatest cultural contribution of the last one hundred years -- faces his greatest threat. And that threat: Rian Johnson, full of ideas.
I’ve got some great ideas for your kid there,” says an eager Rian Johnson as he approaches the Mandalorian and Baby Yoda on a backwater planet. “What if we find out he does have a name, and it’s ‘Glorp’? And what if we find out he’s been able to talk all this time, but he sounds like a surly cab driver? That will blow people away.”

The terse Mandalorian responds with, “No,” “That’s a horrible idea,” and “I’ll think about it” to all of the ideas while trying to lose Rian Johnson, who then attempts to steer the Mandalorian and Baby Yoda to a casino planet where he should have “lots of fun adventures.”

Eventually, an increasingly deranged Johnson corners the Mandalorian and suggests that maybe in one episode Baby Yoda could just be suddenly killed off with no resolution to who he was, since “the show isn’t really about Baby Yoda.” He also suggests giving the Mandalorian a plucky sidekick who could give a speech about how “bounty hunting is really about love.”

The show ends with the Mandalorian convincing Rian Johnson to instead work on his own property in a galaxy even longer ago and much farther away.

This episode is rated TV-MA for Star Wars fans for being the scariest thing ever aired.“

Face it Disney hasn't been Disney since Walt died.

I would put any Disney era full feature films up against any Family Animation made since then.
Not a single one could out do, Dumbo, Bambi, Snow White and the Seven Schmucks, Jungle Book ect..

Rumors: Disney and Lucasfilm Panicking, thinking about making Last Trilogy non-Canonical to save Franchise while Hamill still alive.

Are we finally seeing financial concerns trump Wokeness in Hollywood?

That would be a good first step. Next step would be the firing of Kathleen Kennedy and every one of her producers and toadies.
I don’t know if they can produce better content and stories in the future, but they have to begin with jettisoning the detritus of SJW Woke Wars from the canon.

Absolutely.

What we have is a failure of American men to actually be men.

Most of it is attitude. Men should literally be strong and take no shit from women.

There are three good external things men can do to change their internal lives:

1. grow a beard if at all possible
2. lift weights daily
3. own a gun

I'm serious. Each one of those works to increase the traditional masculine attitude that we badly need right now, though there are many others.
92   MisdemeanorRebel   2020 Jun 24, 10:39am  

Disney paid a freakin' fortune for Lucasfilm.

George Lucas thought his long-term employee who he raised up from the typing pool will preserve his legacy; instead, she made it all about herself and WOMYN.

The only thing saving Kennedy is the fact she's a woman.

Aside from the beard and no 3, since I live in Massachusetts, I think I'm the only guy on PatNet who's completely rejected women, having nothing to do with them outside of hoeing.

Looks like Kennedy is being softly dropped from Lucasfilm. Apparently, she is going to start her own Woke Female Film Company.

Jon Favreau might be named an interim head, since the Mandalorian was successful (DISCLOSURE: I haven't seen any Star Wars since 1-3, which also sucked, but at least it sucked in a normal way and not in a woke way)

They re-hired James Gunn.

They also hired Victor Salva after his child rape conviction. His rape victim protested the opening of Powder.

Fuck Dizzney.
