Acolyte spoilers:

You know how using the force to create life was one of palpatine’s huge goals? Something that only Darth Plagueus had been able to do? Well, apparently this random Coven of Witches in bumfuck nowhere figures it out hundreds of years before the main saga.
No respect or care for the established lore and rules of a series is an indication of bad writing and a decline in quality.

Kinda why I dislike the recent push that few people do to not care about the lore as long as it's "fun".

I… fail to see how this is lore breaking. I mean if the show takes place hundreds of years before the prequels then what’s to say the ability to create life wasn’t simply lost to time and rediscovered by Plagueus? Also I don’t think creating life was Palpatine’s goal, he wanted to transfer his consciousness or whatever into Anakin and take the Chosen One’s body iirc.
 
At least thst is the biggest value i know

DC`s Universe has that "The Universe increases 1 zillion of light years every second and it is billions of years old" logic
Thats the one that gave DC 57 zero lightyear uni size.

They do have "omniversal" cosmologies as equal for Marvel & DC, but would they say single uni buster DC would beat single uni buster Marvel then?
 
I've never seen a franchise fall from grace as hard as star wars. I've only watched episode one and a bit of episode 2 but i can understand the problems people had with the movies post og trilogy. And hearing the reviews for all the new shows and stuff makes me just not want to check out the franchise anymore
Star Wars was never peak fiction but damn, it’s been depressing to see how far it has fallen.
 
“Doing this will definitely make up the 4 Billion dollars spent on Star Wars. We totally made that money back 😃
Honestly, how do these companies and franchises even manage to maintain or regain all the money they're spending and wasting on slop and slop?

It seems like big companies and franchises are constantly putting garbage into the market yet they don't die down. Are they too big too fail? Is capitalism failing at deciding what the free market wants? Is the government funding these companies? Am I and others actually crazy and these often criticized series actually make a lot of money?
 
Surely Disney made back money back via nostalgia merch sales from 2012-2017. Tho inflation wise theyd have to make 5.4 billion overall.

Itd be super embarrassing otherwise.
Apparently Lucasfilm hasn’t made a profit for Disney overall. I don’t know how much it is they need but apparently they’re still in the red from the acquisition.

Looking at it, superficially movies themselves have not been profitable (including Indy 5 from LucasFilms too), but merch sales are unclosed, so maybe those helped.

Ofc, in raw cold business world, the problem is that 4-5 billion was spend on bare minimum profits for like 12 years. It could have easily been used better tbh.
