Are they really betting the future of Star Wars on Rey?

KK’s constant doubling down is the same as “The beatings will continue until morale improves.” “You WILL consume this product because I said so!”

Disney's attempt on the Sequels has left me scarred...
And deformed.

[sofaking]

I'm not even entirely sold on this Mando movie, much less another 3 movies about "Rey Skywalker"

[starlorespodcast]

Do not underestimate just how out of touch they are.

[lzzardkng]

Stupid decisions definitely sounds like KK's customary modus operandi

[mchammer]

As surprising as it sounds, I think KK really doesn't fully understand how widespread resentment against her and her direction has been. I think she's surrounded herself with people to blow smoke and tell her that it's just small portion of old-school geeks that are unhappy. She probably sees herself as a fighter for the current and new generation of SW fans.

It's the Sunk-Cost Fallacy, Thor. Kennedy is desperste to save her legacy, but refuses to abandon the very thing that ruined it.

[jakobcarlsen]

PLEASE stop calling it the skywalker saga. It shames the Skywalker name. Ray is a Palpatine!

[just_delightful]

Everyday that goes by, the decision to make Luke Skywalker a mystery box was the worst decision that Disney ever made, everything after is terrible too, but that really set everything in a direction

[ericbrown]

I for one am actively boycotting anything to do with Rey and or the Sequels.

[CJets]

The damage is already done, because I, like many others, just can’t bring myself to care anymore.

Say what you will about the prequels, but they were amazing for world building, and the 1999-2008 era of Star Wars spawned some phenomenal non-film content. We got heaps of books and video games that all contributed to the lore, and you could take or leave them based on your personal preference. With Disney controlling the flow of content now, there are far fewer books and hardly any video games to pick from.

I've started reading the Clone Wars Multimedia Project novels and Republic Commando and they're phenomenal. Throw in video games like KOTOR, KOTOR II, the battlefront games, republic commando, and the Jedi Knight games and we really had a golden era. I wish we could have something like that now.

[JeffAndresWilliams]

I didn't care about Casian Andor until I watched Andor. Now, I still don't really care about Casian, but I do care very much about season 2. Then again, no one's counting on that character to carry the entire franchise forward.

[seancrowley]

Serious question…does anyone know anybody who actually likes Rey or wants more Rey content? I’m not trying to be mean or anything but I honestly don’t know a single person.
From talking with other Star Wars fans, I hear a lot of people asking for either, KOTOR (or content based on KOTOR/TOR characters), Darth Plagius content, T.Zhan Thrawn trilogy content and/or remaking Sequels…

[hadoukenfighter]

Honestly I would’ve forgotten Rey existed If it wasn’t for this channel

[gryce]

I would only watch a Rey movie if it was a retcon eliminating the sequels - where she never met any of the Lucas characters and has an interesting new adventure unsullied by the failed movies.

[kenbressler]

I've said it before, but I think it's high time Disney went back to "Legends" lore. Make movies, games, and other content set in the old EU. That content doesn't upset the current Disney canon, and gives old school fans content they really want.

[Kleshumara]

I keep being told big companies like Disney are all about ruthless decisions when it comes to money and yet... we get whatever the hell this has been.

[jamesneese]

Considering that Lucasfilm just threw an MCU movie budget at the untested, inexperienced crew of The Acolyte, no it is NOT a surprise that ceo Kennedy is determined to bet the farm on this gamble.

It is very apparent that ceo wants to turn sw into Barbie 2.0 ip.

"Ray is the key to all of this"
