There is at least one instance where someone used the bathroom in Star Wars Rebels, (it was a young Wedge Antilles) and one instance where Mando’s very first bounty on the show said he was going to the bathroom and they even showed the Razor Crest’s toilet.

Yes! That’s my issue. The first Star Wars suggests space travel takes a while sometimes. The Falcon has a lounge, presumably some place to sleep, a bathroom, storage...you can live on it. This thing has a cockpit and a little repurposed nook for a droid. You can’t even stand up.

Sounds like a Filoni self-insert.

Aww yes, Outrider love.

As Emperor of Mandalore perhaps he’ll have a garage filled with ships.  “I say, Grogu old sport; shall we take out the YT-1300 today?”  “Nay, father, let us take out the Duesenberg!”

with the top down...and the windows UP.

The important thing about the Mandalorian is that at its heart its a story about a Nerdy Single Dad going through a Mid life crisis.

Thank you! I’ve been saying this ever since it became apparent that was his permanent new ship, and not just a loaner. There’s no place to store carbon-frozen bounties. There’s no sleeping quarters.   There sure as hell isn’t a space-toilet.

Yeah, the lore wasn’t the problem, it was that this whole spinoff felt forced and disconnected from the main franchise. No one thinks “serious scifi adventure” when they think of Buzz Lightyear; everything we see of the franchise in the Toy Story films makes him seem like a cheesy b-movie hero for kids. And people…

I think they knew they had a bomb on their hands, and that ‘leaked’ controversy was a last-minute attempt to generate interest.

How is it embarrassing for society that some people chose not to watch something because they weren’t sold on a trailer? If anything, I think it is more embarrassing that someone thinks people need some valid reason to not watch a Disney product.

Bland and dull.  And the kids didn’t like it.  They may have been pitching it for more of an adult audience, but... well, that didn’t seem to work either.

I dont know Disney’s other release that year was Strange World.  Unattached to everything and still a bomb!

Exec 1:“You know what kids today love? Depressing time displaced heroes that’s what!”

Yeah, honestly I think Pete Doctor’s making an incorrect assumption here. I think the movie’s failure had more to do with (1) an inconsistent and uninspired ad campaign, and (2) people figuring they could just skip seeing it in theaters and wait for it to arrive on Disney+.

Honestly, we kind of already got an example of what type of Buzz Lightyear movie Andy would have fallen in love with, and that’s the opening to Toy Story 2! (Sure, it turned out to be a video game, not a movie, but the vibe was still the same)

I think you nailed it, Pixar didn’t know what they were selling, how was the audience supposed to know what they were getting

This has a bit of a “Am I so out of touch? No, it’s the children who are wrong” vibe. He’s basically saying “we made a great movie, but people just weren’t smart enough to understand how it was great.”

The problem is that a toy like Buzz wouldnt come from a movie like Lightyear.

I’d say Doctor’s explanation is accurate, but it stems not just from fan reactions but also from how Pixar marketed the film. I was intrigued by the concept of a “real” Buzz Lightyear in a serious movie from the teaser which had a melancholy feel. Then the real trailers appeared heavily featuring a wisecracking robot…
