    Kathleen Kennedy just wants to undo everything George did. I’m out! There are only three Star Wars movies that I need…everything thing else is not worth mentioning.

      That’s weird, and the special editions came out and he deleted those scenes all the fans were crying about how he was destroying it. Now that they’re being put back in you’re apparently crying that they’re changing what he changed? Alleged Star Wars fans really are the worst

    I really hate this writing style. Are “journalists” supposed to inform and present facts, or string you along for as long as possible before revealing what was mentioned in the title. Are you afraid I will leave if I get the big reveal up front? That says a lot about what you perceive to be the quality of your content. I would just like the option to read further context without being forced (so to speak) to read what I already know. Please, by all means, use the lemmings defense, the “but they’re all doing it that way” whine.

      By responding in a comment you are participating in what they call “engagement” and even if you hate it and are angry commenting, you are contributing to their numbers and it will increase their bottom line. You played right into their little game.

    I was a die-hard Star Wars fan since childhood, and Disney has slowly been destroying the franchise with miserable movies and series like Rogue One, Han Solo, The Acolythe, etc. I’m done. Thanks for destroying my childhood heroes, Disney, and turning Star Wars into a platform for political commentary and misery. I watched Star Wars to have fun, not to see a misery fest and see my heroes destroyed.

      I was not happy at all either with the 1998 Lost in Space & 2001 Planet of Apes movies.

        At least The Mummy (1999) was good

    I have watched every episode of every show I’ve been able to find. Skeleton Crew was cute, but Disney’s reaction to the faux outrage and blatant review bombing – yanking The Acolyte, only to realize it later it was their highest viewers show of the year, shows a concerning lack of loyalty to the content. At the slightest hint that someone might be unhappy with a storyline, even when it turned out the very loud whining and complaining came from a miniscule portion of the potential viewership, probably not even part of the actual fan base, they dropped the entire storyline faster than a hot skillet and now just want the to ignore the outcry of actual fans who loved the storyline the included some of the most incredible live-action lightsaber duels in the history of the franchise and did an excellent job portraying the corruption in the Jedi order that not only allowed but enabled the rise of Palpatine.

    All that wasted space just to reveal that it was a nobody background character whose race is being brought back this is anything but newsworthy.

    My god, get to the fkn main story, dear lord, dear JESUS!! I thought I was going to die of old age before getting to it. Which didn’t happen because I quit reading after two fkn paragraphs. So the extra words to make yourself sound more in intelligent than you actually are, I guess?

    “Disney reinstated this element” proceeds to type 18 paragraphs about other stuff to push people through garbage adverts. Won’t be visiting this site again

    What about voolvif mon in the 2002/3 clone wars series? That was on screen media. Although not a “main character” still made an appearance.
