Yeah, I actually have something I'll probably write next week about Disney’s apparent lack of focus or direction.

Another winner Jeff👍🏻 I wish someone would wake up and start searching the old Star Wars dark horse comics, pretty much a gold mine of Star Wars ideas! Have a great week sir 👍🏻

Thanks, Frank. I remember a buddy had the dark horse comics back in the day. I think there was a clone Palpatine, and maybe a clone Luke as well? The Star Wars comics are wild.

They did this series with ki Adi called outlander which was pretty cool also👍🏻

You’ve given me an idea. I think next time I go to Half Price Books, I’m just going to pickup some random Star Wars comics and write about them.

As much as I hate Star Wars movies being delayed, I want then to be done well. Waiting for the right script is the correct move. Great post!

Thanks, Tony. I agree, I’d rather there be a delay and get the script right than rush it and just have it be meh.

Omg, not sure how I found this but thank you so much (from someone who struggles to see value beyond the original Star Wars) this is brilliant!!!

Thanks, Jo Jo. Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm not one to reflexively bemoan Disney's stewardship of Star Wars because a) I remember the Prequels for what they actually were; and b) Disney's batting average is still rather good. Rogue One, Andor, 2/3 of The Mandalorian, and 2/3 of the Sequel Trilogy are all amazing.

However, the vibes are just not good. I've never gotten the sense Disney/Lucasfilm/Kathleen really has any plan or even a clue what they're doing. So many projects announced and quietly quit, the unplanned and piecemeal sequels, the fickle faith in The Acolyte... just does not inspire confidence.

That said: after the disaster of Thor: Love and Thunder, I take the news that Taika Waititi's project is hanging in Jabba's throne room as a huge positive. :D

Well put, I think I am going to expand on this for next week’s Death Star HR.
