Has anyone ever tried to figure out if Disney has actually made money with Star Wars or is it perhaps the greatest display of "Sunken Cost Fallacy" trying to prop it up to not suffer the embarrassment of fumbling what should have been the easiest win in media history?
It was on track to do so, but first Last Jedi and the contempt slowed it down, since it's a great idea to show contempt to your audience. Plan IX fucked their shot at new era materials and guaranteed losing a generation since besides TFA, which had some hypenosis to it, they lost it with this. Not kidding when I state that Star Wars is mostly propped up by older sad retards who force their family to suffer through it for their IP Fent hit of shit these days. Kids think it's lame and gay, preferring shit like Five Nights at Freddies or fucking Digital Circus I guess.
They then blew like a billion on that garbage High Republic project and other books, and only the first one of those matched the worst of the EU, since the old fans mostly rejected that after they saw its quality. Not kidding; this was a big fucking L. Their games had some level of hope for a bit despite the shittitude of the writing I guess? But you can thank them foisting it off on AAA for that losing money. Outlaws burned like a half billion there; though that's Ubislops L there.
They then kept flinging money and the idiots Kathy and that weasel Dave liked and more. Dave's second fanfic Rebels lost steam after Asoka somehow returned, and even then lacked the popularity that TCW did. Assoka the show did like shit, and is only getting a sequel because he doesn't give a shit it lost money; the retard thinks he can tell three episodes of slop into another season using rejected non-ideas from 15 years ago. He's also running Darth Maul into the ground solely because there's a class of shit sucking mong who literally only cares about design; no matter how lame, no matter how gay it becomes, this small crowd of honking cunts fit only for Pol Pot's year zero mass graves will fail to make its metrics succeed.
Mando was a surprise win that they raped and killed; they refused to build Djin into a character, let the Baby Yoda schtick last too long, and then fucked it up by stealing key episodes to prop Blorba Fatt in season 2, which was interfered with because desperation for clout. Blorba Fatt was a retarded fucking failure that should never have been made. Obi Wan broke the backs of most Cucksoomers; the vast majority left after that, which is shown by the shows rapidly collapsing in terms of views. Apparently this story was the last straw for most. The pathetic remainder of the sad flock of shitbirds left are just so IP addicted that I genuinely believe you could full on skin them alive Neo-Assyrian style and record their death cries while mocking them if the dude doing it is dressed up like Darth Vader.
Then you got the Acolyte. The power of Many speaks for itself.
Then you got Andor, which is meh reheated EU stuff and has the fent addicts desperately cope by literally FUCKING HALLUCINATING THAT IT DOESN'T LEAD TO REY PALPATINE. That flopped by the way; yeah the ratings are good but does it matter when its metrics were that dead? The Goonies rip off also did like a death spasm from a horse; inoffensive slop that fent addicts justify because the show doesn't actively spit on them and tell them to die screaming. But it still did shit.
I think the only thing that's made money since 2019 is The Old Republic, and that ain't undoing the billions burned in this maliciously incompetent death spiral.
