honestly, Disney's treatment of the franchise killed my life long love for it

    Lucas had already taken it out to the woodshed several times.

    The franchise has historically been at its best in the fallow years, when people were just tapping into the IP to tell their own stories.

    But you can say the same of Trek, of Harry Potter, of Marvel and DCU. Any time the suits take over, content trends towards slop

    Agreed... however, I do have a specially dark and bitter place in my heart for Disney. They have a rotten touch and ruin every IP they buy

    I mean, I generally like their original work. Moana, Lilo and Stitch, The Incredibles, Zootopia - all very entertaining, creative, and packed with talented performances.

    And they can even make solid kids action movies. Disenchanted, Hocus Pocus, the original Pirates of the Caribbean, Tron - it's clearly within the capacity of the studio to make good films.

    When they buy up these outside franchises and "Disney-fy" them, though... Woof.
