So, it seems Disney has realized that Kathleen Kennedy drove the Star Wars franchise into the ground by turning a boys\u2019 adventure fantasy into a girl empowerment snoozefest.\u00a0 And according to the source quoted nobody is willing to take over from her because the risk is too great.\u00a0 http:\/\/voxday.blogspot.com\/2018\/06\/will-no-one-rid-disney-of-this.html<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Oh, this is too much!\u00a0 Can schadenfreude cause a stroke?\u00a0 I laughed so hard I think I burst an aneurysm in my brain.\u00a0 When you add up the ESPN, Star Wars and the Roseanne debacles SJWs must have cost Disney at least several billion dollars in lost revenue.\u00a0 Can you imagine the heat that Iger must be feeling?\u00a0 Oh, it\u2019s marvelous.\u00a0 And with the ninth movie of the Star Wars saga in production already and J.J. Abrams refusing to take more than directorial control over that pile of risk I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if the House of Disney doesn\u2019t have a major shake-up on the horizon.\u00a0 It couldn\u2019t have happened to a nicer bunch of progressives.<\/p>\n

Read the whole thing including the info at the link and the comments at Vox Popoli, they\u2019re hysterical.\u00a0 It\u2019s like a textbook case of feminism running a male based activity straight into the ditch.\u00a0 Oh, my poor ribs, they ache.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s review, Disney pays Lucas umpty-ump billions of dollars for a franchise that is basically a boomer\/millennial male-bonding experience and they let a bitter feminist turn it into young Rosie O\u2019Donnell with a light saber meets the First Wives\u2019 Club.\u00a0 With apologies to Count Rugen, I think that’s the worst thing I ever heard.\u00a0 Is it possible that Disney is purposefully bankrupting itself to help tank the economy to spite Trump?\u00a0 It seems plausible.\u00a0 I mean no one could be this stupid right?<\/p>\n

Full disclosure, I\u2019m not the target audience for any of these movies.\u00a0 I thought the first Star Wars movie was great fun when I saw it on the big screen back in the seventies.\u00a0 But the second one was kind of disjointed and not as much fun.\u00a0 The third one was a hot mess.\u00a0 I mean, ewoks?\u00a0 After that I was glad that it seemed to be over.\u00a0 The newer editions are by most accounts terrible and I couldn\u2019t imagine wasting time on them.\u00a0 But I brought my grandsons to see the seventh one and I was amazed at how derivative it was from the first movie and how unpleasant it turned out.\u00a0 Now, I\u2019m far from disappointed that the series looks to be going down for the count.\u00a0 What someone should do is start a new series based on an interesting and fun sci-fi or fantasy series that will draw kids and their parents in.\u00a0 Hell, they could update the Lensman series and they\u2019d get more mileage out of that than they\u2019ve managed from Lucas\u2019 anemic vision.\u00a0 The same can be said for the Marvel and DC cinema series.\u00a0 They\u2019ve milked those characters and story arcs so strenuously that there\u2019s nothing left but watery skim.<\/p>\n

So, read the article and get a good laugh.\u00a0 But honestly, we\u2019re going to need to let these movie studios go broke.\u00a0 They\u2019re too stupid to live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
