I know it’s only in one thread for the moment but as soon as we start getting substantial episode IX news this is going to spread like wildfire. I was wondering when someone would ask something like this. Here's the thing. Mattris is breaking no rules of this forum. He's just posting a lot. Here's what I think many, if not practically all of you in this thread, don't seem to understand: He's feeding off your replies. If ya'll simply stop replying to him, he'll stop posting. Or, he'll keep posting to an empty void. The thread doesn't need to be locked, no rules are being violated (Unless I missed some personal attacks, and if I did, please use the Report function to draw attention to them). People who don't care about the topic simply need to stop replying to it, or even opening it.

People don't appreciate being insulted... and will cease giving for Lucasfilm their business until they apologize or Kathleen Kennedy is no longer with the company. Some are completely done with Disney Star Wars. Reading this interminable thread, this is one of your arguments, Mattris, that sticks in my craw. The language is “shameful, demeaning” when it comes from LUcasfilm, but not if it comes from a vicious, vocal minority—who in your view is just “concerned/upset”.

I said, the worst thing that can happen to Disney regarding Star Wars is that "the detractors whose views might not extend as far as [my] vitriol" needn't understand all of the issues or negative aspects of the TLJ. But all things considered, they feel disenchanted enough about Star Wars to not pay for it. And from Disney's perspective, that's the worst thing that can happen.

The double standard is breathtaking here. “People don’t appreciate being insulted,” you say, but those people are the ones hurling insults in the first place. Disney/LFL is a business. They require customers' money to stay in business. Being rude or accusatory - or calling people names (like "manbabies" or "assholes") - is unprofessional and will turn many people off... some much so that they will cease all business with the company. Without enough revenue, those in charge of the business will be replaced. This is akin to a sports coach being fired after a disappointing season. As for "breathtaking" double-standard, I'd say less than 0.001% of Star Wars customers/fans are "hurling insults" at Disney or Lucasfilm employees. The rest are just “concerned/upset” - many of which did not pay to see Solo... and will not pay to see Episode 9 unless things change. This anger/concern among the fans is entirely the fault to Disney/Lucasfilm for making lazy, unimaginative, or divisive films... and then saying things like "We don't care. 🤷♂️" This is not rocket science.

Arpy 4,145 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 @Mattris I don't think anyone here or elsewhere thinks the filmmakers calling out 'manbabies' or 'assholes' is beneath them. In many instances, including a few of the comments you've supplied from other sites seem to fit those descriptors with flying colors. After firing Gunn, firing that writer whoever he was, distancing themselves from what they perceive are elememts detrimental to their business's image, do you think Disney would've done something to silence Johnson for him arguing with fans? No, probably not and that's because most of the time these 'assholes' and 'manbabies' are not worth their time. Urgh, anyway... I expect Episode 9 to make healthy box-office returns, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of the films Jay listed would surpass it. I don't think anyone said it was going to be #1...
