Sorry Desantis, but I think Disney may have gotten the last laugh

    I seemed to have missed something. Was a lawsuit filed?

    At least you're fully embracing your Authoritarianism now with no pretense. Good for you.

    Also, Andor was, imo the best Star Wars entity ever made. And Rogue One was second.

    But yeah, the last trilogy was pretty meh.

    I haven’t seen Andor. I may give it a go. Rogue One was decent and we have enjoyed Mandorian.
    Thx.

    I haven't been to Disney in probably 30 years. So you may be correct on that

    I really liked Andor, but tbh, I’m not a Star Wars junky.

    Andor was good Rogue one was okay Mandolorian just went down the tubes quickly and now they are talking about redoing all the Star Wars movies

    Pretty much Disney can just show up to court and show the Desantis press conferences. He's made their case for them.

    I was out on Mandolorian halfway through this season but the last two episodes were really good.

    Don't get me wrong Bo Katan Kryze was easy on the eyes but the whole thing with Baby Grogu in the T11 suit was weird

    It wasn't very "Star Warsy" which is probably why you liked it. Just great characters and story telling.

    I haven’t been in about 15 years but a 6 month old seems to indicate I will be returning in a couple of years.

    What you are saying about Disney probably has some truth to it. I haven’t been there in a while since the kids have grown up. And I finally got around to watching the next Star Wars movie a few years ago and I thought it was terrible. Basically the original Star Wars done all over again, except in somewhat of a diversity friendly wrapper. A female Luke Skywalker 2.0. A black defecting storm trooper. And a young emotionally distressed and suffering Darth Vader 2.0. It was just terrible.

    But it is a private corporation responding to its markets. They can do and put out whatever they want, I don’t care.

    Having spent 40 years following conservative politics, of which approx 20 of those I considered myself somewhat conservative, I am just baffled at MAGA types who want the government to step in and regulate and influence corporations to their preferred culture.
