I thought we were going to hear about the show not about the series character of Rachel for part one & Two. Too much butt-kissing. That's probably why justified primeval tanked. Two "woke" for the general audience.IMO.. but I will always love the original series justified it was fabulous. I loved all the characters including Rachel but not just Rachel like these interviews show.

      The more people like you call them "bots" and invalidate their opinion, like access media do, the more they will shout, because they're tired of being called bigots and blamed for things flopping. We've seen studios with same failed strategy of blaming fans for Ghostbusters, He-Man, Indy, LOTR, Bond, Dr Who, Terminator, MCU, Little Mermaid, so this isn't unique to Star Wars, and your bait and spite won't change that. Look at how these franchises TANK and then show it's just a "bubble" that are sick of this. In movies and gaming, fans are turning to stuff from five or ten years ago.

After researching the best episodes of 'Rebels', I was not in the least surprised to discover that he had ZERO hand in writing them. This Cartoon Network reject is just another sad example of someone appointed to a position and responsibility that far exceeds their pay grade. And when they inevitably fail, their solution is to blame the audience.

      If you look at how Filoni/Favreau market and make their shows it's totally different from the others. They don't get hostile to backlash, they just shut up. They don't make DEI the focus of panels or interviews. But thy have to work within the confines of Disney. I think it's more that Filoni will tolerate projects like The Acolyte, and aim to steer them in the right direction, but there's only so much lipstick you can put on a pig. I think the biggest problem s making too many shows at once, jumping around the timeline. They should have gone all in on Mandalorian as soon as the pilot show was seen to be popular, and scrapped everything else. But Favreau and Filoni also know how important characters like Luke are, and I think they're scared of doing something unpopular or risky, which leaves them stuck in the middle ground with cameos and deepfakes. They scared to recast, and would rather build up the era with their own characters like Ahsoka and Sabine. That said, BoBF and Ahsoka and Mando have some really weak and cheap scenes that undermine what they were trying to do. While KK, JJ and Rian were happy to take a wrecking ball to the franchise, I think Filoni is trying to preserve it with the tone of his shows, even they don't have the budget or time to do it properly.
