A Disney engineer with 12.5 years inside just confirmed what we've been saying for years: the people destroying franchises were a small, loud faction, not the whole company.
The fact that "the vibe shift is real" is something a fired employee is telling us on his way out the door, rather than something Disney leadership has ever said publicly, tells you everything about corporate accountability.
I'm glad Daws spoke up. I'm glad Disney might be course-correcting. But the Star Wars films, the Marvel Phase 4 wreckage, and years of alienated fans don't disappear because some executives got quiet. The bill is still coming due.
Are you willing to give Disney a second chance if the product actually improves?
@Chohi_94@Guardia_Templo You mean the one Ashoka killed. And he has 2 figures coming out in the Maul card. One black series one vintage. So he has to show up
Veo mucho debate en redes con esta escena, pero yo lo veo claro como el agua.
Quien tenga dudas, que se ponga el final del Capítulo 4 de Tales of the Empire
@StarWarsDaily_ While I’d love to see Ewan and Hayden back, not sure this makes sense. They definitely cannot duel again. The last one was the best part of the show
@ThemeParkGaming@TheJonathanTTS@kaminostar This list seems far from complete? What about Ahsoka sequence? What about Boba Fett chasing you through space? I feel like there’s a lot more…
At 15 years old, Liv Perrotto’s biggest dream was to meet @elonmusk. She had even written out a list of questions to ask him. Her mother @rebeccaperrotto told me that just days before she passed away from cancer, she had a chance to speak with Elon, but she was too tired and asked him to call later. The questions still sit on her nightstand, unanswered. Liv's mother shared them with me in hopes that Elon would change that today.
1) Are you going to make your own phone?
2) Are you expanding the Tesla Diner to new areas?
3) Will there be any new games with any upcoming Tesla updates?
4) What is your favorite anime?
5) Have you ever been to Japan? What was your favorite place/thing there?
6) Do you know who Hatsune Miku is?
7) Was Ani inspired from Misa from Death Note?
8) Can you make Asteroid (the Shiba Inu zero-g indicator she designed for the Polaris Dawn mission) the mascot for SpaceX?
@fandompulse All I read there was, "kiddy show turned into kiddy movie to sell wittle toys to wittle kids"
Nothing in this any adult star wars fan would get behind
Jon Favreau explains what The Mandalorian and Grogu film is actually about:
"At the end of Season 3, we kind of close the chapter on the big storyline that we've been running. There's an indication that the Mandalorian is going to make himself available as an independent contractor. But now, because he's looking after the little guy, he only wants to be working for the good guys now.
And so, when we last left him, he was on his ranch, But we find out that now Colonel Ward, who's the CEO of the Adelphi Base of the New Republic out on the Outer Rim is bringing him in to hunt down the Imperial remnants, warlords that are operating on the fringe of society.
And these two start a brand new adventure going to new worlds and facing different threats and new creatures and stuff that we hadn't been able to really do on the show. But having the time and the IMAX format, we were able to build these big, beautiful sets and have these great adventurous set pieces that were inspired in ways by Flash Gordon and the films that inspired Mr. George Lucas for the original trilogy."
Is this just a fourth season of the show? Did they mash up different episodes into a film?
Disney spent $1 billion in 2019 building a Star Wars theme park where you were not allowed to meet Luke, Leia, Han, or Darth Vader.
Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland was set on Batuu, a backwater planet in a narrow window between The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker. By that timeline Luke was dead. Han was dead. Vader had died 30 years earlier. Leia was alive but had no canonical reason to show up at an outer rim smuggler outpost.
Imagineer Scott Trowbridge spelled out the design rule in 2022. Characters on Batuu would stay locked to their specific era. No visitors from other Star Wars timelines. The immersion was the entire point.
In practice guests flew to Anaheim for Star Wars and walked through a $1 billion set to meet Vi Moradi and Dok-Ondar. The locals of Black Spire Outpost.
The parallel failure was Galactic Starcruiser. $5,000 for two nights in the same sequel-era window. No Luke, no Vader, no Han, no Leia. Disney wrote down $250 million to close it 18 months after opening.
On April 29, Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland abandons the rule. Darth Vader will roam Batuu hunting Luke. Leia and Han will appear at the Millennium Falcon. Kylo Ren is being pulled from the land and relocated to Tomorrowland. The ambient Batuu music gets replaced with the John Williams score.
Disney spent seven years defending the design principle. Then Galactic Starcruiser closed with a $250 million write-down. Luke Skywalker showed up for one limited event last year and got swarmed by guests. The rule quietly got dropped.
Avengers Campus figured this out on day one. You put Captain America in the Avengers land.
Tolkien enthusiast Jonathan Watson says Arwen's line to the Ringwraiths at the crossing of the ford is the most cringeworthy line in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Arwen says, "If you want him, come and claim him."
Watson said, "One thing we can certainly say about this here is that it has the most cringeworthy lines of the films. I think this is the one."
Is this the most cringeworthy line? What do you think is the most cringeworthy line in the entire trilogy?
