Not only is Disney going down the toilet with repeat failures in recent years, but it is taking the StarWars franchise with it. No one under 30 could be convinced that this new show is related in any way to the original film series. The actors do not even have that Jedi reserve of character. The dialogue is all wrong, and visually it feels too low budget (crappy green screen work). And what was that poppycock that the bad guy was spewing at the end of episode one. Disney is going to milk the StarWars franchise for all it can with each new series it creates, but that does not make them part of the StarWars universe. George Lucas brought StarWars to life, but with each new series that Disney creates it feels less and less like the original trilogy. Is this newest television series worthy of StarWars affiliation, absolutely not. Let’s just hope the acting improves and the story gets better.
Disney stock is up 10% for the last 12 months. Their streaming service just posted their 1st positive quarterly earnings report with $47 million in profit. The recent board of directors vote saw the stockholders voting to keep all 12 board members. Revenue at their theme parks is up as well. Yes, they struggled at the box office last year with some notable flops, but it will take more than that to sink them and just as they have done in other areas of their business recently, I’m fairly confident they will find a way to correct course.
I do agree that they are milking the hell out of the Star Wars license and the franchise is suffering for it, but I feel the same about Marvel, Star Trek and many other popular franchises. You can get too much of a good thing.
