Fuck Disney. Fuck consumer culture. Star Wars was worth being a fan of before Disney took it and milked it for all it was worth. This is another shallow attempt at more money-grabbing.

Sorry, but Star Wars was always about the cash grab. Lucas milked it from A New Hope on, with licensed toys, holiday specials, prequels, remasters, games etc.

What Disney is doing is just continuing to do what Lucas started.

I'm on both sides of this. i haven't watched any of the Disney Star Wars films, and haven't even watched The Mandalorian. But Clone Wars and Rebels got me back in, I'll admit, and because of that Ahsoka also drew me in.

Disney is like Google. I hate that they're everywhere. But occassionally good stuff comes out of them that they didn't exactly intend to be there (Disney's Owl House, and partially funding Nimona) (Google Reader back in the day, and allowing Graphene OS to be installed on their Pixel Phones). There's plenty to love and hate when it comes to companies this large, it just depends on how much corporate bullshit you're willing to tolerate to get to the authentic quality gold.
