I will never understand how the bean counters haven't just figured out that they should hire SW fans to make SW content. Like how fucking difficult is it?! There's a ton of great fan fiction for free, and it's probably all been indexed by AI at this point. There's zero excuses for bad stories.

    Writer Dave Filoni - "Widely considered the creative protégé of George Lucas, Filoni was personally hired and mentored by Lucas for nearly a decade. He is viewed as the "torchbearer" for Lucas's original vision of Star Wars"

    Lucas’s original vision of Star Wars

    Which is not what fans want.
    Pre-Disney, Lucas was always one of the biggest issues with Star Wars. The films were not a success because of Lucas's vision; they were a success because they did not accurately capture his vision.
    If a fan were to take what fans actually like about Star Wars and make more films using that vision, that would not be the same vision as Lucas and his cronies.

    i would rather Disney fail as a company than get good star wars content. Fuck Disney.
