Disney is about to delete five years of canon because Rey doesn't move toys.
The sequel trilogy did $4.47B at the box office. Force Awakens $2.07B, Last Jedi $1.33B, Rise of Skywalker $1.07B. The merchandise tells a different story.
Star Wars merchandise peaked at $700M in 2015 when Force Awakens launched. By 2019, the year Rise of Skywalker shipped with a billion-dollar marketing push as the supposed finale of the Skywalker Saga, Hasbro's Star Wars line was doing roughly $150M. A 70%+ collapse during the trilogy's own theatrical run.
Then 2020 happened. No new movies. A streaming show legally unavailable in most international markets. Hasbro's Star Wars revenue grew 70% year-over-year. One character named Grogu outsold three years of sequel-trilogy merchandise.
The sequel cast specifically can't move inventory at any price point. Rey, Finn, Poe, Rose, Holdo: Walmart clearance for years. Diamond Select's president said sales on TFA and TLJ products "were not too strong." Hasbro silently stopped producing Rise of Skywalker figures mid-line. There is no mass-market action figure for Poe, Finn, Lando, unmasked Kylo, Palpatine, or Leia from that movie. The licensees gave up before the trilogy finished releasing.
The Lucasfilm acquisition was a $4.05B bet on the merchandise flywheel that built modern Hollywood toy licensing. Kenner's best year selling Original Trilogy toys, adjusted for inflation, outperformed the entire Disney era combined. That's the asset Disney bought.
Galaxy's Edge runs the same play. Over $1B per park to build a Star Wars land set on a sequel-era planet nobody cared about. Both parks underperformed projections. The Mandalorian-themed expansion now under construction is the admission.
If the rumor lands, this is the most expensive retcon in entertainment history. Five years of IP development written off because the licensees voted with their order books. Luke, Han, Leia, Vader, Boba, Mando, Grogu, Ahsoka generate revenue. The sequel cast generates returns.

RUMOR: Disney to Remove Star Wars Sequel Trilogy From Timeline to Resume Focus on Original Characters "If true, this would be one of the most dramatic franchise shifts in modern Hollywood history."

@Walrus_Moonboy @gamestop this is disgraceful. That place needs an outright boycott

#TheMandalorianAndGrogu seen in IMAX… yes, this is the way it MUST be seen and experienced. They opened with a custom IMAX 10-second countdown that hit hard. The film dives straight into action from the opening scene, and Grogu is still the perfect sidekick.
I watched a beautifully choreographed seamless one-shot oner, and the sound design is impressive!! You feel every blaster shot and engine roar in rumble the seats. Almost the full 28 minutes played in stunning expanded IMAX format. The opening titles and cinematography are elite. Every future Star Wars film needs this full IMAX treatment. 🌌🚀 #IMAX @IMAX #TheMandalorianAndGrogu

NEW: Pawn Stars' Rick Harrison joins President Trump at the White House:
"Literally he's going to go down as maybe the best president ever. I love this guy."
"The backbone of this country is small business. Plain and simple."
"The last guy in office, all we heard was that we were the evil people."

I know this is unpopular, but it will always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games. Some women might be understanding or pretend like they don’t care that you spend hours playing, but they do. It is extremely unattractive to women and will never not be. 🤷🏼♀️

Sneaky move by @CadburyUK

Disney always blames their fans when their films flop because they tried to "force" some ideological slop down peoples throats, instead of giving the fans what they wanted.
It's like if McDonalds bought KFC and threw out most of the menu, removed the 11 herbs and spices, changed all the flagship and signature items to vegan burgers, and then get mad and do media tours blaming their customers when they stop going to KFC.
In both scenarios, the customers didn't change, you did. You changed the product to what YOU wanted, instead of what THEY wanted and got mad when they stopped buying.

🚨Card Factory Restock🚨
Card Factory have had a restock of Pokemon Cards and the stores near me all have Surging Sparks. These are priced at £4.99 so little above RRP
Stores seem to be limiting purchases 5-10 per person.

So, @PlayStation is basically unusable for me now. The UK Online Safety Act means I have to hand over a face scan or government ID just to use basic features. My PAYG mobile isn't accepted, and I’m not giving biometrics to a company with a history of massive data breaches. #Ps5

@Pirat_Nation Multiplayer for me on PS5 is now DEAD. Single player only. I REFUSE digital authoritarianism

PlayStation is facing huge backlash over its new age check rules for UK users, some users say their console is almost unusable now
To comply with the Online Safety Act, Sony now requires players to prove their age using a face scan with Yoti, a government ID, or a phone number.
This is needed to use voice chat, party chats, messaging, broadcasting, and multiplayer features on PS5 and PS4 consoles.
Single-player games can still be played without checking, but social and chat features will be locked from June 2026.
Sony has had major data leaks before, and Yoti has been fined for data problems. Long-time players are asking why they must prove their age now.
Some UK adults do not want face scans saying this breaks consumer rights by removing features people already paid for.

The whole Pokémon community should stop buying cards in secondary markets. Drive the prices so down, they have to sell at a loss. Achieving something like that would be beautiful and a win for geekdom.
