>The Mandalorian & Grogu is released this week and is set for the lowest opening weekend of any Star Wars film ever. With the TV shows also struggling, here's why interest is waning.

>It's been seven years since the Star Wars franchise visited a galaxy far, far away on the big screen. In December 2019, The Rise of Skywalker, the third and final film in the franchise's sequel trilogy, was released, earning $1.077bn (£806m) worldwide. It pulled in only around half what the first film in the trilogy, 2015's The Force Awakens had made. This disappointing amount reflected the increasingly poor audience and critical response to the three films. A year earlier, in 2018, the standalone film Solo: A Star Wars Story had also bombed hard, earning just $393m (£294m) globally.

>Since then, the film series has been on a lengthy hiatus, while Lucasfilm, bought by Disney for $4.05bn (£3.03bn) in 2012, has been busy expanding the Star Wars universe on TV with a whole host of live-action shows, starting with hit The Mandalorian. However, interest in these has declined as they have proliferated: the most recent new series, 2025's Skeleton Crew, recorded the lowest opening ratings for a Star Wars show yet, while 2024's The Acolyte was cancelled after one season.

Good luck on your bottom surgery OP. I'm assuming this is what it's about no way I'm reading all that shit.

It turns out misogyny wasn't the reason the fans hated Mouse Wars.

If the media hates it, that might actually mean it's good
Is this a good faith article or is this seething because the movie doesn't push the gay race communism message and mass demoralization of straight white men
>>
>>220580555
The main character is gay.

>>220580501
Who'd have thought waiting five years after a wet fart of a (D+ exclusive!) season to make a Mandalorian movie would fall to interest the movie-going public? That's why those CEOs get the big bucks!

who molests hot women that are within arm's reach but refused to do the same to bella ramsey
he's bisexual
>>
>>220580501
The movie seems like it’s made for women in their 60s and child molesters. That’s a Hell of a demographic to target.

>But the one thing they love more than a hero... is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you

no he isn't the actor is gay
is Gandalf gay because Ian McKellen plays him?
>>
>>220580674
no he's not gay
he's just pretending to be gay

gollum's gaped asshole seems to think so

The charm of Star Wars has been ruined because Disney doesn’t actually know how to pander properly.

Does the article get into how the “writers” are political activist who hate Star Wars and white people, etc.?

It's a hit piece against the Filoni-verse and a praising of Andor/The Acolyte as the correct path for Star wars

>Decent sci-fi trilogy created by George Lucas

Just let it die already. The only thing left is the visual design which has barely changed since the 80s.

Mummy wants to go see it, I'll let you know how it is

Instead, how about they just do a creative purge and pivot to what they claimed as the reason for buying Lucasfilm in the first place? Drawing in a young male audience.
>>
>>220583312
They could do a Rey movie like Castaway where she's stranded on a planet. Very little dialogue, no clothes. Lots of acrobatic jedi training.
>>
>>220580896
I bet this was still pretty profitable due to its budget being so low.
>>
>>220580501
I thought it was rusian bots who review bombed the sequels all along
>>
>>220583058
So it's political then. Because The Acolyte was dogshit.
>>
>>220580501
>Andor also stood out from the other series as a defiantly prescient critique of authoritarianism, offered "in terms you could legibly graft on to the world right outside your door", wrote Vulture's Nicholas Quah.
oh my science, so heckin' based. never watched that tranny shit and never will
>>
>>220580501
The mainstream media has always hated Star Wars which is why they liked The Last Jedi so much for completely overturning everything TFA was setting up.
>>
>>220580501
I hope more people will realize Filoni is a hack.

I simply do nothing and you continue losing and screeching about it.

There have been like 100+ Star Wars properties since the original and I don't think a single one has been about a young boy/man meeting zany characters and then going on an adventure in a fantastical alien world.

They've never once gone back to the literal foundational reason anyone was endeared to giving a shit about this world.

The Hero's Journey is sexist, racist and transphobic, chud. Probably anti-semitic too.

Star wars was killed the moment RLM somehow gained attention with their shitty youtube series review of ep1.
