Star Wars: The Clone Wars Review (P)
My Childhood Shattered by Disney's Destruction of Star Wars
My childhood in the 1990s was indelibly marked by the epic saga of Star Wars: Episodes IV, V, and VI. A cinematic masterpiece that exploded my mind and transported me to an unforgettable galactic adventure where good triumphed over evil.
But that admiration has now turned into despair. Disney, after acquiring the franchise, destroyed all the nostalgia I held so dear. Episode 7, despite its flaws, still managed to hold things together. But Episodes 8 and 9 demolished the legacy of Star Wars, leaving it on the brink of death.
A brief glimmer of hope emerged with "The Mandalorian." We believed that Disney had finally understood what the fans wanted. But the illusion soon shattered, giving way to a torrent of mediocre content. The infamous "Acolyte" was the final nail in the coffin of Star Wars.
Disney seems more interested in pushing political and ideological agendas than in simply telling good stories. They sacrifice quality for profit, hiring incompetent friends and cronies of the King (and Queen) instead of talented professionals. 180 million dollars were wasted on the "Acolyte" series, while a movie like Dune was made for the same amount. They could have made 10 Godzilla Minus One movies with that money!
This is pure and simple money laundering. They fund this ideological and political war of the King's (and Queen's) friends and cronies, ignoring the pleas of the loyal fanbase that just wants a good story, just wants to escape from the real world for a few minutes. The 86% disapproval rating on Rotten Tomatoes is a reflection of what Disney has done to Star Wars: a complete abomination.
And anyone who disagrees is labeled a misogynist, homophobic, or whatever. They destroyed the few good memories of my childhood and the nostalgia I felt for Star Wars.
Enough is enough! My time consuming Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars is over. No more giving my hard-earned money to this soulless corporation. If I could, I would demand a refund for all the games I've bought.
We need to send a message to these white-collar vultures: boycott, cancel Disney Plus! Stop consuming Disney content. If you want to watch their movies, download them from "alternative sources". Games? Pirates of the Caribbean : “For a good listener, a few words are enough”. Shirts and statues? Artisans and sculptors with no ties to these scumbags!
Enough feeding this institution that only destroys and corrupts. Let's value true audiovisual art, made with love and respect. Or let's move on and focus on other hobbies, leaving this in the past. FAREWELL!
