STAR WARS directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy starring Daisy Ridley (TBD) 0

If the movie begins with Rey waking and finding the last three movies were a dream, then maybe there’s a chance.

Everyone online up in arms about this already 

Let them make it

Let it bomb or do well

Not my money, not my clowns, not my circus

Disney has a PR nightmare.

I mean how stupid are these people to not course correct their past mistakes which is a simple fix.

2024 is already starting to show Disney is apparently still okay with making movies that lose money because of the attitude of the people they hire before filming even begins.

Kathleen Kennedy should have been fired years ago.

Well, guess someone should tell you that nobody but your perverted uncle has ruined that for you

Just a movie, its sad they don't want to make real money and want to push agendas, but the best thing to do is just never give them money till they learn

I don't have an uncle, and why would you assume he was perverted.

Well my Great Uncle did die two weeks and he lived in Ontario, Canada.  But I dont think he was perverted.

It was a complete generalization and its perplexing that I have to explain it

Wait in general Canadians think most Uncles are perverted?

You guys really must do things differently up North.   Crazy!

Yeah, having a sense of humor tends to be considered hysteria in certain circles these days

I have a good holding of Disney stock that does nothing and though some disagree, I think this type of stuff has a direct impact on their movie returns.

They should try this for 2024 as an experiment. Write a good story with no agenda of any kind. Just a well written film. Don’t allow anyone on the cast, the crew, or production talk about the movie. Everyone has to keep their mouth shut. Just show teasers leading up to the trailers and then release it. See if the returns go up.

Those people are uneducated.

Totally agree with you that is 110% has an impact on the stock price.  Losing money by any means will effect the stock price.

I sold my position in Disney stock in  early 2022.

A value company that provides no value, and now a joke of dividend.  Good riddance.  I was happy to dump it and make a small profit from selling it.  Right now people are not buying what Disney is selling, and Disney+ has been canceled by so many people I know.

Add me to that list several months ago.

[Silver Surfer]

Just reactivated it last month to watch the What If series but now I have cancelled it again, will check back in 6 months if there is anything worth watching.

This is a proven winning strategy! Everyone knows that women are the primary target audience for Star Wars Films.  

So, I'm guessing it will have something to do with colonoscopies

To be fair, she can say whatever she likes if she ends up making a good movie.

Sadly though, I have no interest but I’m hardly the target audience anyway.

Sadly she's alienating 99% of her audience with these comments and shrinking the viewing audience for her movie before it's even released... 

[Silver Surfer]

Yet no one will even question why she would make such a comment.

That is nuts.

Wait. Maybe she has the She-Hulk show writers' room in her hip pocket. This could work.

Many fear the risk of being labelled.

I watched it to make sure it wasn’t taken out of context. She was speaking about her art and I don’t see that she meant Star Wars specifically, and it may have been years ago, but…..  She went on to say how she wants to make men uncomfortable and that she enjoys making them uncomfortable. She wants a man to have to look at it and change their attitude.
 

A more recent interview, she says she has no film making training or education. She says that she puts activism in all of her work and it guides her so I am not for sure why this project would be any different.  

Here, I will fix it for her, and I know it’s thinking outside the box and a bold move for Disney…

 My goal is to make an exciting new Star Wars movie that everyone will enjoy.

Activism means actively courting your audiences' hatred so that when your bad & hateful art causes your audience to admit they hate you, you're clear to blame the audience's hatred of you for your bad art.

Just seems like more virtue signalling to me but par for the course for Disney. It’s a complete turn off, no one cares and for her to suggest that it “guides her” sounds like a bunch of cringe worthy bs.
