I never said it was in the statement though, i only said they pay homage to Lucas in the statement, not to Disney, which you can see as a kind of "fuck off, we aren't interested". I only suggested it as a counter argument / conspiracy to your conspiracy (which to me seems far fetched).

Your 1) doesnt even make any sense.

You can conspire all you want, i just doubt there's too much to read into "we have other projects" when they clearly are busy.

Edit: and yeah i mixed you up with WaldoJ going on about S8 conspiracy.

First you say it's the statement, then you say it's not in the statement. Make up your mind, men
As for my 1), if you don't think that's common pr stuff in Hollywood then I can't help you.

As I saw mentioned in a Youtube video commenting this, it would be quite retarded of Netflix, from a commercial pov, to not give B&W more room to work on a Star Wars title so they could milk it for their movies ("written/directed by Star Wars writers/directors" etc).

Especially considering Netflix feeling the heat more and more from other streaming services, in particular Disney.

No i didn't, or you didn't get it. I said that the statement we have is that they have other projects (and i also pointed out how they endorsed George Lucas) - that was the official word in the press release so its not a conspiracy (unless you make it one).

Even the new movie seems to be going really bad with less pre-sales than ever. it's going downhill fast, its turning into parody and the GoT dudes are clearly not clueless about this either.

They would not leave Disney's millions on the table to avoid working on a franchise that has turned "woke". Their reputation is damaged by GoT S08 and *in addition to that* Disney must be realising they have made some wrong choices and watered down the SW franchise. So they need to scale their SW productions down a bit or maybe turn towards series for the Disney+ platform.

It is about people's career trajectories and big money investments. And that statement was co-written by Disney's PR thugs, that dictator corporation doesn't leave anything to chance. Laughing

Just because of some wokeness here and there and general disappointment ... doesn't mean the SW franchise is a sinking ship or a hot potato that people don't want to touch, let's be serious.

EDIT: I legit think that if season 8 was better received, they would work on a SW production eventually. Their careers are forever marred.

I have watched almost every S07 and S08's Game Revealed episode and I find D&D irritating, disconnected and prepotent. I'd say the had it coming. Well deserved.

and Ryan Condal. Miguel Sapochnik will partner with Condal as showrunner and will direct the pilot and additional episodes. Condal will be writing the series.


I find it hard to get excited about this, they effectively killed the interest I had for GoT with those last few seasons. We'll see !

I agree with that vision of things, seems like the most accurate to me !

I doubt that S8 forced them to quit. 1 season was shit (much of it anyways), rest pretty much praised. So what, that happens to like 99% of all series.

Its possible that Disney wants to do less movies, what do we know, we can conspire and that's fine with me, i do that to sometimes. Here however, i'm not sure i would read into it a lot. Its probably not due to them being tired of Disneys wokeness either, i just noticed they did not mention Disney once in the press release, they instead decided to mention George Lucas a few times, just got a feeling that there wasn't much love involved from their side. Also, they did not leave millions, they merely changed project that will also generate money, maybe more, maybe less, what do we know.

Disney said they're still gonna hire them if they're up for it when they're done with the current stuff. We'll see.

*beep* You're wrong.

https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/09/20/disney-to-slow-down-how-often-it-releases-star-wars-movies

After the disappointing releases and box office numbers of Solo and SW8 the planned schedules were scrapped and new plans were made.

Yeah i remember that, it's an old article from 2018, we were many that were confused since they went ahead with a new trilogy, that the third movie was gonna come out next year (this year) etc. Didn't seem like they were slowing down at all. But yes, its possible that they for some reason delayed or scrapped that reasoning and now its put into affect again. It's possible that the press release is just BS, that they didn't quit but were laid off, but its still a conspiracy, its just how it works until there's any kind of proof..

Eventually we will have more than simplistic fan edits of movies and series i hope. Deep Fake + AI Voice Clone renditions.. There's an immense amount of stuff talented "modders" in this field could do to fix and extend stuff.

About the last book, i doubt it's ever going to be released. I know Nerdrotic recently took up how much he writes in a day, it was like half a page according to GRRM himself. He's lost interest in it completely i think.

Rewatching it Very Happy at season 5 currently. For S8 i will watch a fan edit which has been praised, not expecting a lot though.

As seasons go it really gets more and more sloppy. It's still pretty great though, enjoying it for the most part.

I really hate MAX btw, sometimes i wish i could Fast Forward some scenes that i don't give a shit about, but FF using MAX is a fucking joke, you can't really use it for a ~3 minute scene that you want to skip because of how long it takes to get it going / for it to update properly etc.

Also.....


stuck for a year with winds of winter. nothing new i guess, no is expecting it to come out.
