Looks like Disney’s ability to keep milking their latest cute plush toy is coming to an end.
time to create another one. or get back to the old one. Young Yoda it is!
Maybe we can finally get a Jabba the Hut gay romance movie.

Honestly a series following Yoda over his life showing the decline of the Jedi order would be pretty good. I’m actually kinda surprised that wasn’t a thing in the EU canon, though we did get a couple comics featuring young Yoda. Imagine how much worse of a blender Yoda in his prime would be, in EU canon he hefts a mini gun on his back and fucks up some droids and in one of the first clone wars (2008) episodes he literally blends a bunch of B1 droids in a tank.
Lucas was against exploring Yoda because that would diminish his mystique.
In a world way worse Yuuzhan Vong would’ve been Yoda species as the invading force from unknown regions of space.
I think the best way to deal with Yoda is to keep him as far as possible from current Star Wars soap opera framework and maintain his stories strictly in the realm of myths that might or might not be true so that every story is standalone and self-contained. something like Samurai Assassin series used to do for example
Fair enough, still wish we could get a name for his damned species even if it was just some Old Republic identification code or something.
Also now I’m trying to think of how to deal with an invading force of Yodas species, all I’m coming up with is Base Delta Zero or 40k exterminatus namely virus bombs.
It would’ve been way funnier if Yoda actually turned out to be the last representative of the Sith species. Now that’s what i call a pointless rug pull.
(Wookiepedia got pictures of OG Siths as these guys with handlebar moustache like facial features - which technically means Hulk Hogan could’ve been a lore accurate Sith.)
Star Wars going full 40k with the Yoda Invasion would’ve been lit.
Going to the movies, in THIS economy?
To watch a disney movie
We go once a year. We saw across the spiderverse in 2024, tron ares last year, will see the backrooms soon and the third spiderman next year. It’s not worth anymore. I had never seen an imax, so we saw tron in imax, was amazing. But not worth $80 for 2 adults and a child. And we brought our own snacks! I brought beef jerky, kiddo brought something, I don’t remember. Shared a drink.
We saw across the spiderverse in 2024
Is that “To Be Continued” ever going to be resolved?
Supposed to be next year. I didn’t see that coming, didn’t realize it had been 90 minutes and was like wtf!
June 2027 supposedly. Beyond the spiderverse.
Yeah. My son and I went to see Project Hail Mary in an IMAX theater. That was pretty awesome, and I think worth it. But honestly there just aren’t that many movies coming out these days that warrant making an occasion out of it. I’m more comfortable watching at home when it comes to streaming.
It’s ok once in awhile, but not regularly.
To be completely honest, I didn’t even hear about this movie at all until like 2 weeks ago and I just assumed they’d release it as a Disney+ exclusive or something. I even went to a movie theater like a month ago and I heard absolutely nothing about it. Anecdotally, this tells me their marketing team had no faith in their product, so why should anyone else?
Which is sad, because apparently they spent quite a bit on marketing. I think their problem is they’re trying to get other markets to watch like women, lgbqt, kids, ect. But in doing do they ailenated like 90% of their core customers, then they’re shocked about it.
And you’re right, the problem with this movie is it wasn’t really “bad” but it shouldn’t have been made a full blown theatre move. It should have been a Disney+ $20 rental or something then make a season 4 for normal steaming.
they’re trying to get other markets to watch like women, lgbqt, kids, ect. But in doing do they ailenated like 90% of their core customers
This is an incel take.
Yeah, the story of an attractive, emotionally sensitive guy raising a child alone in a harsh world is like marketing poison to women. /s
Star Wars was originally aimed at women because fatherhood was a central theme of the films. /s
I think y’all are underestimating Pedro Pascal’s woman fanbase.
That opinion is completely insane.
Congrats on having an absolutely brain dead take
I bet you cried when you learned that women have peach fuzz.
Or, you know, Just release it on Disney+, for Disney+ subscribers, who already pay for it by subscribing to Disney+, instead of being a cunting multi-billion dollar company thats trying to double dip on customers during a financial crisis, and expecting them to pay more, just to keep getting the shit they’ve been watching, because you decided for no good reason to switch platforms for no justifiable reason outside of corporate greed.
I fucking hate when they do this shit. Disney is also guilty of it with other properties, like Kingdom Hearts… Oh, want to know all the story? Go buy 10+ platforms and twice as many games to understand what the fucks going on…
But in doing do they ailenated like 90% of their core customers, then they’re shocked about it.
people that love darth vader didn’t want to see “baby yoda, the film”? I’m astonished.
Why would anyone make a movie to cater just to get the ~20% of the population that are white straight males? Movies are hard enough to make profitably. Why would you focus on such a miniscule market as straight white males?
I had no idea this was being made until just now
Dude I liked it I knew everyone’s gonna hate it. I knew from the start it wouldn’t be a filosofical thing… is Mando for fucks sake he runs trough the galaxy shooting shit and taking care of the kid we got that that’s it.
Is it perfect? nope is it bad? nope. But it is entertaining that’s all I asked from it, it’s my unpopular opinion but that were my expectations.Mando and Grogu have no stake in the mainline Skywalker/Jedi vs Sith story arc the franchise is built around. Mando himself is the legacy of Boba Fett’s “rule of cool” and the idea there’s a third party in the Jedi/Sith struggle that has no Force powers but can go toe to toe with tech and training. Then there’s the Hutts. Immune to mind tricks and living tanks. Toss in an elite bounty hunter and some alien monsters. It’s two hours of a side story set in the SW universe that kinda has an impact on the main story but doesn’t. It’s all your favorite Glup Shittos glupping and shittoing all over the place. Prequel battle droids; check. Clone Wars Rotta; check. Rebels Zeb; check. OT X-Wing attack run; check. Sequels Babu Frik dudes; check. It’s basically an Ewok Adventure level movie for the modern era. A moment in the Star Wars era that means not much but a little on the galactic scale. Enjoy the fan service, enjoy the moment.
Yeah, it did exactly what it said on the tin.
Not pretentious
I didn’t hear about it until I saw it on the drive in billboard.
That said, I’ve not finished season 2, but I loved season 1 enough to get the pinball game :)
Yeah I’d only barely heard of it, and even then I thought it was just what they were naming the new season of the TV show. Marketing department fucked up.
I loved that pinball game enough to want to watch the show. Still haven’t, but I wanted to.
First season was good, stop there :)
Like the actual pinball machine?
Had a big bonus that year. It happened to coincide. Never happen today in this market :)
Why would I pay good money when it’ll be available by August?
This happens when you burn out your fans with constant releases.
It wasn’t terrible. Not great, but not terrible. Worth watching if you’re streaming, but not theater worthy.
It was such a fucked up mix of genres. Half the movie people are getting their face ripped off by monsters and the other half is watching a fuckin teletubbies episode???
Thought it was some Disney plus nonsense.
Not surprised, it was poorly marketed and requires you to watch three seasons worth of content to have context for.
It really should have just been season 4 of Mandolorian.
I will be seeing it because I have seen every Star Wars movie in theaters and I don’t want that streak to be broken.
Saw it, the movie’s pretty good, I’d be hard pressed to say it’s that much above average, but worse Star Wars movies exist. (I firmly hold that the worst Star Wars movie is Attack of the Clones, and the second worst is Last Jedi, third worst is Solo, with the rest being of equal quality more or less)
Anyway I like that we see Grogu being pro-active in it.
Limp and low effort. Actually kind of impressive to make a movie with so much going on be boring. The writing was like a rough draft with placeholder dialogue. Legendary actors giving wooden performances. Oof.
This is actually the only good star wars movie made by Disney that I’ve seen.
I only saw it bcz it was a friend’s birthday and they were going already.
I had super low expectations going in, and saw a terrible movie trailer. That actually made me think the movie was going to be really bad.
Nope, turns out the trailer was just bad.
Rogue One is in the Top 2 Star Wars movie.
I may not have actually seen that one. I saw the two before it and wasn’t a fan.
we 👏🏻 don’t 👏🏻 have 👏🏻 money 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 movies
Ironic as movies got popular because they were cheap entertainment during the world wars.
True and If I do have money to spend on a movie I want something new and good not more milking of starwars witch has become slop.
starwars witch
I think the Acolyte aeries was dealing with Star wars witches.
Did not see it and I am haapy.
Keep it that way.
Ahsoka had 'em. Never watched acolyte tho
The cost to go with a movie with one friend is around $30-35 where I live. This assumes buying no concessions.
The cost to buy that movie on a physical format (assuming it releases on one) is $20-30 depending on whether that format is DVD or Blu-Ray.
A lot of folks right now could not afford either option. But even for those who can, the math doesn’t math on movie theaters.
And while concessions have been overpriced forever, they’ve really gone nuts with it recently. I was gonna buy a large bag of popcorn, a bottled water, and 2 sodas and it was gonna be like 50 bucks.
Yup. It costs them cents on the dollar to make. Rip off.
