It pains me that there is no good film adaptation of the series, and a middling grade for the Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe that cost Disney $200mil to produce.

Your forecast for the future is awesome, we can bypass the gatekeepers and let the ones with genuine passion for the story bring it to life.

Not some marxist Barbie director.

Win -> cmd -> run -> ohshit.exe

Yep. You’re right. My bad. Whoops. That was embarrassing…

I’m pretty sure you mean VII, which would be OK if it wasn’t ruined by Rey’s Feminist Heroine’s Journey. Rogue One is also OK despite major flaws, but everything Disney made after that is a disaster except for the first two decent seasons of Mando. The “love our terrible new character or you’re racist” tweet from the official Lucasfilm account was what finally got me to swear off Star Wars, at least as long as Disney owns it.

The Hollywood guilds are once again showing galaxy-brain level intelligence by making their bosses realize how useless they are at the exact moment it’s becoming possible to replace them all with technology.
