    Well this is the most ridiculous thing I've read in this entire thread, and you've now revealed yourself to be a bigot.  I don't know why anybody took you seriously before, but I really don't know why anybody would take you seriously now.

    Captain America taught we all should "be better" in that Disney+ show. He didn't said how though.

    If those spin-off movies were planned as movies, they were eventually made as Disney+ shows with more content/length than single films.
     
     
    How do you know there were firings? We only know what is announced by Lucasfilm.
     
     
    Perhaps @GerateWohl didn't answer because I stumped him.
     
     
    The logical explanation that so many people are 'fatigued' with Star Wars is that they don't understand it.  It's like playing/watching a game/sport of which you don't know the rules. Of course you're going to eventually lose interest. You're not 'tuned in' on what's happening or what's supposed to happen.
     
     
    On the contrary, my point was not 'invalidated'.
     
    For many/most of the audience, it would seem inappropriate or forced that a gay character would act overtly gay in a movies made for kids. If a controversial character/relationship/scene/plot causes a project to make less money, then I would say that either [1] the makers of project did not care about making the most money because pushing their agenda was more important or [2] the makers were not aware of what decisions/specific inclusions of the project would result in making the most money.
     
    Megacorporations can afford expensive missteps, like the Buzz Lightyear spin-off, which featured at least one gay character.
     
     
    I'm aware of some relatively minor inconsistencies in the Star Wars canon. But most fans are either unaware of them or don't care. The ones who do care about so-called 'inconsistencies' haven't the slightest clue what they don't know, about say, how the Force works and how certain characters use the Force.
     
    And even then, some - or all - of the minor inconsistencies you stated could be chalked up to a varying point of view of the characters who experienced those particular events. Star Wars is not presented as a fly on the wall. (It's omniscient third-person, from the perspective of the main characters.)
     
     
    Because of this reality, the audience should be using the best evidence available in order to make an informed conclusion: the explanation that is most likely true. Opinions based on a surface-level assessment of the work are not reliable in the slightest, especially if one thinks they're experiencing an escapist work made primarily to make money and satisfy the most people episode to episode.
     
    Short-sighted assessments, assumptions, and group-think are a recipe for disaster when interpreting a work like Star Wars. But this is exactly what I think has befallen its audience/fandom.
     
     
    If Iger made the executive decision to not use his stories/sequel treatments, KK should have quit on principal, based on her loyalty to George. She promised him on camera they would use his stories!
     
    It simply doesn't make sense that a principled, smart man like George Lucas would associate with anyone who betrayed him or was complicit in the betrayal, such as "white slavers".
     
     
    No. I'm saying IX and X were shot over the course of about a year. This includes the supposed re-shoots that were reported to have happened throughout the summer and fall of 2019.

    High expectations? After TROS I'm not sure anyone has high expectations anymore except for the Disney + shows. 
    Mattris, did you think TROS was a good movie?  Tell me the truth. 
     
    If Star Wars always had a plan, would the sequel trilogy have ever happened if Lucas didn't sell it to Disney?  What about all the EU stories that are no longer canon?  Were they part of this master plan?
     
    I seriously doubt that there is ever going to be this big reveal that will shock everyone but you. You've built it up so much now that I'm likely to think "That's it?" if it finally happens. 
     
     
     
    No she didn't. We know very little about it actually. 
     
     
     
    They probably did know the state of the galaxy but did a piss poor job showing it. We learned a lot more about the New Republic from a TV show. 
     
     
     
    They dumped Trevorrow too far into the process and gave Abrams little time to write something good. 
     
     
    Am I the only one here that feels like they're posting the same damn thing all the time?
    The ST had no plan. 
    Trevorrow's script wasn't fake. 
    Episode X is not filmed yet.

    It was probably intentional, not leaked. But who cares?
     
     
     
    You didn't seem to have this attitude when TLJ came out.  And I find it hard to believe that Disney doesn't care what the audience thinks since movies people like make more money. 
    But then again they did release TROS so who knows.

    I'd like to know what you think "went south". What evidence supports your position? Let me remind you that at Star Wars Celebration 2019 - shortly after the Episode IX "Roll it... again" teaser was shown - Kathleen Kennedy was asked directly if bringing back Emperor Palpatine was part of the plan from the beginning. She confirmed this was the case.
     
    No, the simplest explanation is that nothing has gone south with Star Wars. Everything is proceeding as planned.
     
    What's happening couldn't be clearer to me: Lucasfilm don't want the masses to figure out what they've been doing. So they adhere to a marketing/presentation strategy to keep their secrets. The audience becomes distracted by rumors, opinions, assumptions, and group think. All the unexpected, unwanted things coming out of Star Wars as of late are perceived as general incompetency... that Lucasfilm doesn't know or care what the fans want. This is a mistaken assessment of what really happening. This is how Lucasfilm are so successful in what they're doing... what they have always been doing.
     
    But there's far more substance than distraction. The vast majority of these clues and elements of foreshadowing can be found within the Star Wars canon, starting with the 1976 film novelization. All told, the content of these volumes prove there was always a plan for Star Wars. Though, one must have a certain point of view to decode it all.
     
    Consistent with the "effective Jedi trap", the Star Wars audience is currently on the far side of the galaxy so as not to interfere with their real plans. So that by the time the audience realizes what has happened, it will be already too late.

    Quite the contrary actually, the most simple explanation is that things went south, 'cause it's always easier to fail than it is to succeed. The scheming, lying and deceiving you claim is happening at Lucasfilm is the opposite of simple.
