I couldn’t take the bad writing as soon as “i.e.” was misused, so clicked on the link to the article that actually reports original work. Why read a bad recap of an article when you can just go read the actual article?

A substantial part of Andor’s low ratings is the fault of Disney barely promoting it - on top of giving it a pretty awful name.

Obviously they won’t do it because there’s too much money involved but I’d love it if Star Wars just stuck to TV for the foreseeable future. Maybe the sequel trilogy just really soured me on SW movies, but for the most part, I’ve really enjoyed the SW shows. The Mandalorian, Andor, Bad Batch have all been great.

I’m not even interested in any of the TV shows except for Mandalorian. RoS effectively killed my desire for more Star Wars movies while Disney is running the show.

Fucking hell.  Lucas doesn’t even own the franchise anymore, and we still have to watch it based on his preferences!?  Just let people watch Star Wars how they wanna watch it.

Star Wars seems to benefit from a long hiatus between movies. TPM and TFA each made the most money of their respective trilogies. The anticipation is built into the experience. When they tried to make it like an MCU thing with Rogue One and Solo, the numbers started to go down.

How Kathleen Kennedy still has a job mystifies me. The TV side's success is squarely on the shoulders of Filoni and Favreau, meanwhile Kennedy put out a sequel trilogy with no overarching plan, bungled Solo's production, and has had so many announced trilogies and movies just evaporate into nothingness. She must have

I would pay to see the original cuts of the original films, although I think part of Lucas’ deal selling to Disney is they can’t release any of the theatrical cuts without his Special Edition edits. He won’t even give the original prints to the National Archive (and they refuse to accept the altered cuts he gave them)

This. The franchise gain money from toys, games, books and comics licensing. Now, wether does Disney still need to expand those money maker to satiate the mouse greed, that’s the question.

Do they “have to?” Not really. Considering the franchise has gone 10 and 15 years between movies before and still made lots of money.

Been there, done that. I’m happy with just the sound effect thanks.

yes and no. users have reported that he mysteriously became unblocked, multiple times.

Okay but Lex Luthor is written as smart and talented

Platformer having a high-level mole inside Twitter who seems to be telling them everything has got to be driving Musk crazy.

They’re kind of shitty cars though. If you search ‘Tesla build quality,’ you get so many links about how badly-made they are. No thanks.

Just going to sit over here and watch that $44B keep on burning.

Musk bought a toy for $44 billion and nobody wants to play with him.

Endlessly funny that the world’s most sensitive narcissist bought a $44 billion dollar criticism machine.

Yeah, someone else posted a link to an article where they did a teardown on one of these and found a couple of slow SD cards inside (or, in one case, a cheap thumb drive).

Yep. Looks like every other cheap Wish/AliExpress knockoff drive.
