Not defending the show but just pointing out a couple things. People did watch the show. Even some people here on the forum where they discussed what happened. Just not in the numbers Disney wanted. It did make money. Because most but not all of those people who watched did so via...

I’m not indicating it was a conspiracy. I’m also not denying that stuff was taken down. What I’m saying is that everyone is over inflating it. Disney puts up and takes down all sorts of merch from different IPs often. Here’s the thing about the announce. There was no announcement from Disney...

The shirts, cups, and and other chachkis were available. That was the bulk of the merch. It was mostly the usual Merch Disney makes for all new shows and movies. Something for fans to get immediately. Aside from the Hasbro helmet what other pre order stuff were you referring to? Theres Book...

More that they seem to be taking a Andor season 1 approach to the Acolyte merch. Didn’t make a lot of it, didn’t sell great. Only real difference is in the shows themselves and how they were received. IMO both shows were creative tests. Seeing if there is an audience out there that will watch...

Agreed but that’s not the point I was making that he was referring to. I was addressing the whole hyperbole over the Acolyte mercy not in the Disney store thing.

You miss my point with the post. If you search other SW items you’ll be surprised what you find. For example Luke Skywalker 6 items Leia 8 items Rey 3 items Kylo 6 items Vader 45 items Ahsoka 42 items People are making the Acolyte merch thing a bigger deal then what it really is. Like...

Perfect example of.. Tell me you only skimmed the news on the whole Chapek removal thing, with out telling me you only skimmed the news.

Uh huh sure.

Skyroes speaks true. High ratings do not mean high sales in merchandise. Trekkies tend to be frugal with their purchases. More so than other franchises I’ve seen. I remember non 1/6 Trekkie collectors balking at the prices of Exo figures when they were under 200. The 600 TOMY TOS Enterprise had...

Yes but as I stated above the one in Orlando is already paid for. I’d need to check Disneylands sales. Hard part with that is the way the park is set up. No way of really separating if people are going for Galaxies Edge, other parts of the park, or a combination. The one in Orlando is at one...

I disagree from what I’ve read it looks like they already made their money back from purchasing Lucasfilm. Pretty sure merchandise alone would cover that cost. But I’m tired and heading to sleep so forgive me for not looking it up. If Disney is losing money then why are they expanding? They...

Yes but you said this. “Forbes wrote an article earlier this year that outlined everything Disney has spent on and outlaid for Star Wars and all of the Lucasfilm properties (the cost of the Parks expansion, the disastrous hotel, the movies, merch...everything). The writer had deduced that...

They did cancel a lot of projects across all their IPs not just SW. It has less to do with course correction and more to do with profits. The company has been doing a lot of canceling, reshuffling, and laying people off. IMO the Rey story is done. It doesn’t need another chapter. But I also...

I saw it. I just think they aren’t doing much course correcting. Cause if they were they’d just do it like in the examples I gave above.

I’ve read that article before. Doesn’t talk about costs or profits from the parks, merchandise, Blu rays, the Starcruiser. It just focuses on the movie costs and profits. It even says it in the title of the article. “Box office Profits fail to cover cost of Buying Lucasfilm”. I just skimmed it...

Is that KK rumor from the same places that said she was out after Indy And out after Obi, and out after BoBF, and out after TROS? That she hasn’t had control of SW after those same projects I mentioned? Disney doesn’t play around like that. If someone under performs they just get rid of them...

Notice I didn’t say you I said people. Plus this a continuing conversation from yesterday where I was talking the same points, points like in this conversation. If as you propose the sequel trilogies took longer to make their money back, and that the profits were less, then why hasn’t there...

I see you are focusing on figures and collectibles, where I'm talking merch overall which includes apparel, shirts, mouse ears, etc etc. Also a lot of the merch is made by Disney themselves, there is no license mandate for them the license holder to make it. Heance why I said in our previous...

Can you show where they are mouthpieces for Disney? That it is propaganda? Or is this just something you believe? Do you have other sources that show information counter to what I have shown or said? I don't ask to be snarky or antagonistic, I ask because from what I have seen there isn't...
