I couldn't find an appropriate thread to dump this, but at the same time there's already so much Mouse Wars crap cluttering up the board. And it all seems to contain the same kind of discussion anyways. Why not have a containment thread for general Mouse Wars stuff that isn't related to major releases and announcements
Let's start off strong:

Star Wars and Marvel Comics Sales Drop Confirms Disney
>Sales for Star Wars and Marvel Comics-related products are down for Disney's fiscal year ending September 29, 2018 compared to the previous year and even more so compared to two years ago.
>Revenue for the division is down 4% from 2018 to 2017, and down almost 16% from 2018 to 2016. Profits for the two year period are also down nearly 17%. Disney's Consumer Products division is also the only division at Disney to have lost revenue in 2018.
>Worth a mention is that Disney's 2018 fiscal year saw more Star Wars releases than 2017, but the numbers dropped, which we can assume is a huge cause for concern for Disney and is at least part of the reason for the recent changes to the Star Wars film division that sees the movies slowed down.
>Disney also includes numbers comparing 2017 to 2016 in the report, which also saw a drop
>As noted, the report also mentions numerous times drops for Star Wars are to be blamed on the stronger performance of Star Wars: The Farce Awakens in previous years, which proves subsequent Star Wars releases did not hold up.
Disney Course Correction
>I suppose this is just my opinion but as a result of Disney's Consumer Products & Interactive Media and Publishing division not performing favorably (again, it was the only division at Disney to see a revenue loss in 2018), Disney is course correcting as follows
>Disney CEO Bob Iger has confirmed the Star Wars movies are being slowed down
>Both the Disney+ Star Wars series have male leads, which is opposed to statements made by LucasFilm president Kathleen Kennedy about not catering to male Star Wars fans in the movies, and it is also the opposite of her "The Force is Female" propaganda campaign
>The Rian Johnson Trilogy is currently not being developed as Johnson is working on other projects. The trilogy is at least placed on the backburner (I think it has been canceled).

While a small clip the acting and conversations are way to "gritty", probably done on purpose to keep older fans. Literally every scene, one after the other is, "don't mess with me, kid".

It seems alright from this little bit, but heavy on the nostalgia-bait. Not just in the compilation part, where it's expected they'd cram it all in, but even during the actual scenes. The walk from the cantina to the meeting place was a barrage of one thing after another to a level that felt forced. The door camera struck me as particularly unnecessary. It's not at all a bad thing to include aliens and droids from the pre-Disney days, but that part felt less like wanting to keep the universe the same and more like "Hey guys, remember Salacious B. Crumb? Remember Gonk droids?"
The real questions it leaves are whether the writing and plot will hold up and not turn into a disjointed nonsensical mess, and whether that girl is a character who is female or just a Strong Female Character.

i'll give you crumb being a definite member berries, but nothing else felt forced. i'm also of the crowd that didn't like salacious crumb, so i don't mind seeing his species sold as pets or as food. the girl is played by gina carano, who's a shit actress, so she'll definitely be an action-heavy role with little character or dialogue. expect strong female character.

At least they're using actual OT aliens instead of grey/yellow/brown Disney blobs. And it doesn't look ST tier awful. However, the whole thing seems really pandering to the Filoni/Rogue One crowd. "See, this is made for the real fans, it's got IG-88, and le gritty mando bounty hunter, we're not like those sequels made for the casuals". I can't describe it, but it seems like it's made for someone who's never read an EU book (except maybe the Thrawn Trilogy), but really wants to look superior to the average normalfag moviegoer. For the time being, I'll put it in the same category as Fallen Order and be hopeful that it captures at least some of that pre-disney magic.

It already got flesh out in other Disney garbage like EA's Battlefront II, Wendig's shitty novels and some other crap where Palpatine told the Empire to off themselves so they ran off into the Unknown Regions where they were found by the Not-Vong whose leader was Snoke who then reformed them into the First Order and they took over some planets and established a shitty economy. Also finding out more about the First Order is stupid since they're a shitty faction from an even shittier set of Disney movies that amount to fuck all and can magically recover after having their ultimate weapon destroyed with little consequences.

Lucasfilm want to make their own sanitised Kotor adaptation so they can trick old fans to come back while retconning the universe's past to be more progressive ala STD. They also want to lean on a story that has already been written because they know their new writers and original ideas aren't working out.
It might also be one last push to make TOR successful by recanonizing that game. EA and Lucasfilm would love to make more money from it.
