[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 485534, member: 7379"] I think you'll find Disney have hardly helped themselves in this regard. They had no overall plan for the episodic sequels right from the start, which is nothing short of astonishing given that they paid $4 billion for it! Why they didn't put a Kevin Feige type person in charge to oversee their new films and keep them consistent both in terms of story and quality, as they wisely did with their Marvel films, I will never know. Instead, each new Star Wars film seems to have been rushed out with scant regard for the others, and with some pretty big cock-ups becoming public along the way, like the Colin Trevorrow and Phil Lord & Chris Miller fiascoes, and even with Rogue One (which I love!), it seems that Disney had to pull the film out of the fire with Tony Gilroy's reshoots saving the day. None of these cock-ups can be blamed on 'Toxic Fan Boys', but rather are down to pure incompetence on the part of Lucasfilm / Disney, and that doesn't even begin to touch on the utter shitstorm of The last Jedi. Quite frankly, it really doesn't take a genius to know that creating such an obviously divisive and thoroughly atypical Star Wars episode as TLJ would be reviled by a huge part of the fan base, and whoever green lit it should be fired. That film is adored by some, but loathed by others (myself definitely included), and dividing the fan base is hardly the best way to ensure that either that film or the next Star Wars offering Disney put out would be roaring successes; TLJ made a lot of money, but it was a hell of a lot less than TFA, and Solo has sadly under-performed (and for what it's worth, I thought that was a good film that deserved to do better). It's rather sad that Disney have put future stand-alone films on hold, but in the circumstances it's hardly surprising, as they will always look to the box office bottom line with regards to what their films make, regardless of fan opinion. It's simply unfair to blame the fans for this decision. Disney's chronic and inexplicable mismanagement of the property is the overwhelming reason for this. [/QUOTE]
