The creator of Disney’s canceled Star Wars series believes fan-driven commentary now shapes the franchise more than the movies themselves.

    I’m a fan and I wouldnt want to watch a show written by me. I think its more Disney trying to make Star Wars using the logic that worked for the MCU. Throw shit at the wall and see if it makes money

      that’s not what the MCU did. MCU plots were drawn from decades of comic book content, adapted relatively faithfully, and orchestrated buy a guy who was passionate about comics. If star wars did that (with extended universe books) it would be in a much different place right now.

      But no, they said fuck all that, we’re gonna do our own thing haphazardly planned between 2 directors with wildly different visions for the plot, whilst peppered with regurgitated scenes from the original trilogy.
