Still waiting for Favreau to say anything
Not sure what to make of The Mandalorian season three. I still want to support the endeavors of a guy that clearly understands the franchise and it's fans but the longer this drags out the more I think the first two seasons were a lightning in a bottle anomaly.
What is it you expect him to say, though? If he didn't support the decision to fire her, he's not gonna state that publicly.
If he didn't like the decision, he could've threatened to quit. There's no way that LFL and Disney would risk losing the head of their most popular property. So if he insisted Gina not be fired, I don't think they would've gone through with it.
Remember that Favreau is partnered with Filoni on all things Mandoverse. Well, one of the LFL employees (Henry Gilroy) who trashed Gina on social media was co-executive producer with Filoni on Rebels. He'd been at LFL since George was still in charge. And one of the voice actors on Rebels (Freddie Prinze Jr.) also celebrated her firing. So maybe Filoni himself felt the same way about Gina.
Favreau might've just gone along with the firing in deference to everyone else's preferences. Who knows? Either way, Favreau didn't quit, so there's probably very little chance he'd state publicly any disagreement while still employed there.
I don't know what I expected him to say, but at least say something. He is supposed to be in charge of the damn show. All we ever got is a single Story Group condemnation of her from a nameless employee. At this point I'm not so sure even Favreau would be safe if he lashed out. We have a pretty good idea who is behind her dismissal, but we have no idea just how high up the approval process went. Were either of the Bobs involved, etc? The silence surrounding this from leadership and cast just feels cowardly and wrong.
Just shocking that she gave up her own tv series, and everything else that would have followed just to tweet. Why don?t people just tell it to their friends in real life?
Attention-seeking/narcissism is at the root of all these issues.
I don't support cancelling her opinion, but she breached the terms of her contract.
I didn?t say they were the only ones but they are the majority.
Good point.
She should have known better. It?s not a matter of cancel culture, they?re a company that ultimately gets to decide what they feel is worth their while to defend. They obviously decided that the benefit of her acting skills was not worth the detriment of having to defend her every week, so they did the math and moved on.

10000 of her fans can cancel Disney Plus, they release another MCU film and make all that money back on opening weekend.
For anyone thinking that their personal choice of withholding $7.99 per month from Disney is going to make them regret anything I hate to be the bearer of bad news.
Hmm don?t agree
They do care about every penny and lets face it the core SW fanbase remains white conservative males and the USA and international audience has enough of a conservative population to actually make a noticeable dent into Disney subscription revenues if those fans decide to cancel their membership.
I know you didn?t imply they were the only ones, I am just interested to know what you are basing that on.

I factored international audiences minus China of course they hate SW but love wacky wolf movies for some odd reason lol
You don?t believe SW and SW toys were made popular because of white conservative males and their families
My reasoning and intuition just feels right lets call it a gut feeling lol
I?ve been around plenty of SW fans over the past 40 plus years
