      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.

    I see the Bob Iger of "Lucasfilm" and shyster supreme has once again somehow managed to make a few people believe that he's good for Star Wars. 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.

He's the second vertex in the Triangle of Suck, and now he gets to share in the fun when his two idiot co-workers start sh1tting where they eat. AGAIN.

    With all due respect to Mr. Feloni, Im just curious as to the direction of Disney SW. I was among the first generation of OT fans that saw them in the theater as they came out. I enjoyed them immensely as a kid, and remained a casual fan through the years. Ive managed to see everything DSW has released, more out of curiosity than anything, and some i liked, some i didnt. But i have to ask (rhetorically) who is the new DSW being made for? From what i can gather, there seems to be a massive civil war occuring among SW fans. "Toxic" fans vs. covert PR "shills", etc. A few things occured to me; why is the budget of the Acolyte 180 million dollars? And where is it on the screen? What happened between season 2 and 3 of Mando behind the scenes in the offices and writers room? Im not trying to sound toxic, im just honestly curious. While i hate seeing personal attacks on Kennedy (or anyone), i do feel she bears some responsibility for what appears to be immense dissatisfaction among SW community. Disney is not some avante garde artistic community, they are a billion dollar conglomerate that got that way by knowing their audience. Perhaps its time to give someone else a shot at president of Lucasfilm. The bar for SW used to be set higher than "good, not great".

    Really solid interview, Brian! As a LONG time SW fan, it’s rare to hear new details from the creatives behind the creative, but mission accomplished. As a writer, I’d love to see Lucas Film implement some sort of live-action apprenticeship program for prototyping their new projects. Almost like a live-action, non-cannon, collection of SW shorts that would premier annually on Disney+. That structure might better allow young talent to cut their teeth, bold ideas to be explored, audience engagement to be tested, and less cost to spent per/idea. Also, it could be a nice vehicle for ‘Graduating’ prestige-worthy teams and stories within Lucas Film. Anyway, thanks for sharing, Brian!-

I never got why anyone thought you're a good actor. I can't help watching that medicore comedy you're on right now and how much better Delta Burke or Dixie Carter would be in that part instead of you. But poor Dixie died too soon and Delta is the real brains of the bunch and quit acting when HD was introduced to the world. Designing Women was good the first season. After that it was only watchable because of Delta Burke, but you idiots fired her for sticking up for herself and not putting up with bullshit.
