Saltier than Crait
Are you tired of the Disney Star Wars era? Did The Last Jedi piss you off? Does the name Kathleen Kennedy or Rian Johnson grate your eardrums? This might be the place for you!
I left Reddit for obvious reasons and I've been waiting for someone to come over to the Lemmy side. I'm tired of waiting and hope others can come join here.
I'm very new and I don't plan on moderating because I have a family and job. But I bet some of you would love to change that!
For right now, memes and discussion are encouraged at the expense of Disney's failed IP Acquisition! All the dumbness, awful, and terrible ideas are fair game! If you have some good things to say, that's okay too. A broken clock is right twice a day and certainly Disney could happen on a brilliant take once in awhile. But for those that know (we really know), they screwed up the biggest revival of our lifetime that we'll never get back!

At the time, George was surrounded by "Yes men" and "Yes women". It amazes me just how many endings just kept adding up from A New Hope to the Phantom Menace. ANH had one, ESB had two, ROTJ had three and TPM had four damn endings. Everyone thought he could do no wrong and the same damn thing happened with Disney. Even I was naive.
Now they are gonna screw up another IP with Indiana Jones. It's sad and pathetic.
By that point everyone who thought he could was basically forced to shut up. He'd already been fined 1/4 million $ by the Directors guild for Empire Strikes Back and subsequently left the guild. He advanced special effects, filming with hd digital cameras, and cgi.
I think George is a good example of wax wings too close to the sun.
But Disney's yes man situation isn't comparable. They ended up here because of their massive budget and lack of fucks. At least George was creating something new... the sequels are literally just rehashing the older movies.
