New Star Wars rumors include canceled movies, rejected creatives, and changes to Disney Parks
Disney might finally have enough of that to look forward to Star Wars may fail as more reports of changes at Lucasfilm are coming in following Cancel retaineryesterday we saw goods disappear from the Disney Store website – then appears, then disappears, then appears again – and hears that High Republic It will be removed in the next year or two after the rest of the completed or in-development books are released. Now comes Words from Cosmic Book News — based on “conversations with insiders” at San Diego Comic-Con — that Taika Waititi's Star Wars The film is no longer being made and its producer and showrunner Leslye Headland retainer“It's been done at Lucasfilm.” Waititi's film was in development From December 2020Although very little information has been revealed about it, except that Occasional vague updates From Waititi.
The Leslye Headland thing is a no-brainer, or it would be easy for anyone with even a modicum of common sense, which I don't give the Disney folks a lot of credit for these days. Her only Star Wars Creation wasted $180 million at a time when Disney can't afford to continue losing money. Giving him another project at Lucasfilm would have been crazy, and when retainer Had a second season been denied, the door was probably closed on Headland. I'm not sure why she deserved her dismissal: Acolyte SelfOr the fact that she cared so little about the show as she repeatedly told interviewers he wasn't sure what was going on what was in the story or what the motivations of the characters were. And while I'm not some big name in Hollywood or anything, I'm pretty confident in saying that this was a bad idea Telling the fans He Star Wars was always gay, but yours Star Wars was the happiest Star Wars There are no plans to ever wage war in the stars. It's not exactly “you'll believe a man can fly” in terms of entertainment marketing.
As for Taika Waititi, Cosmic Book News' sources told him the reason is that Star Wars the movie is a bastard Thor: Love and ThunderAnd not just because it sucks, which it very much is, but because it looks like they left it out at some point during post-production. I'm just going to quote this part because it's so delicious I can't resist reading it:
“I was also told that Waititi did not finish the reshoots and the final cut of the film. I was also told that Marvel had a very difficult time getting the final cut of Thor: Love and Thunder ready. Insiders told me that Marvel was having issues with continuity and story. They got to some parts but didn't know where to go next, they just couldn't get things in sync (Waititi even admitted that he struggled with editing right from the beginning to the end).”
Now, when I say “delicious,” I don't mean I'm happy Thor: Love and Thunder it was terrible; I want all Marvel movies to be great. But I'm glad Marvel learned their lesson about hiring the absolutely wrong person for the job, which has always been the case with Taika Waititi. For some reason, everyone liked it except me Thor: RagnarokBut I could tell from that movie that Waititi didn’t fit into Thor’s world and had no interest in the characters or the unfolding story. Loki’s conquest of Asgard was immediately discarded into a stupid comedy scene that turned the brilliant, Machiavellian God of Mischief into a fool. Thor’s pursuit of the Infinity Gems and the evil mastermind who gathered them was discarded into a trivial joke. The Warriors Three were killed off in silent cameos and never mentioned again by their best friend, Thor, while Lady Sif wasn’t even in the movie. “Planet Hulk” was corrupted and translated to the screen in a lazily manner, with Korg being nothing more than a masturbating Waititi self-insert. Ragnarok, the Norse god apocalypse, was a goddamn machine rather than a story in its own right. And on and on and on. Love and ThunderWhich was of course even worse, to show everyone – including Marvel – that this guy had no business in their world, and his disdainful attitude finally became apparent to them. It makes me wonder how long they took to remove his name Star Wars The movie; I don't remember the last time he mentioned it.
The next answer comes from a WDW pro, who says he heard it from a “highly respected source that has helped [him] making things right in the past in grand ways.” This source tells PRO Star Wars The Sequel Trilogy is being “phased out” from Disney parks. The pro says it could take “several years” to remove them from the parks, which makes sense because there are a lot of rides and attractions and a lot of decorations related to the sequels, but they're going away slowly. It seems Failure of the Galactic StarcruiserThe Star Wars A hotel designed for families that wasn't affordable for 99% of families was a key factor, but the unpopularity of Galaxy's Edge, especially at Disneyland, sealed the deal. An expansion based on the sequel in France – presumably Disneyland Paris – was also canceled. You can check out the pro's video below, where he also talks about Bob Iger's potential replacement as Disney's CEO if he plans to leave and what that could mean for Lucasfilm:
Can you imagine how expensive this is going to be? They'll basically have to rebuild Galaxy's Edge in every park, which will surely cost billions of dollars. This is one of the biggest embarrassments the entertainment industry has ever seen, even if it's just itself. Anyone Star Wars Fans could tell them they should focus everything on the original trilogy; they could have content based on the prequels and sequels and so on, but keep Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Darth Vader and the rest in the lead roles. For example, look at this Park Hoppin' Where is the video Christa And Blue Jay Ride Rise of the Resistance at Disney World:
To be completely fair, this ride looks fantastic and well-made. But while I was watching the video, I couldn't stop myself from thinking how much better it would have been if it were on the Death Star, and instead of Kylo Ren scaring Disney World guests, it would have been Darth Vader, issuing his evil orders in James Earl Jones' famous voice. Instead of Finn standing against the wall with a blaster, ready to kill some Stormtroopers, it could have been Han Solo with Chewie next to him, pleading with his friend not to tell him about this because the Wookiee was making Wookiee noises with a bowcaster in hand. Then, you hear Darth Vader say that he feels the presence of the Force as Luke appears. Like, seriously, how can you put a Mon Calamari pilot in this ride and not make it Admiral Ackbar? Insanity.
These developments — which are still rumors, but they make sense given everything we know about Disney, like the changes Marvel is making after firing its woke producers — suggest that Disney might be abandoning its sociology experiment altogether, admitting failure after losing astronomical amounts of money, and finally giving customers what they want. Until a few weeks ago it seemed crazy to believe they would ever do this, and it still isn't certain, but there are glimmers of hope, even if they're still dim. Whatever happens, I don't think so. Star Wars Maybe it can be saved outside the parks; the story is completely broken and needs to be put to rest. But the end of its corpse's humiliation will signal other good entertainment to come from a company that has finally learned its lesson. Not that I'm buying shares just yet.
