The Mouse Star Looms Over Planet EA

Yesterday, I said that if The Last Jedi opens below expectations then EA should expect to be used by Disney as the scapegoat. Today, the World Class Bullshitters have this to add to the wider Star Wars discussion. EA execs on suicide watch.

Yes, the Mouse expected the sequel to do better than the first film in their trilogy. They ignored the declining regard for the first tilm over the nearly two years since The Force Awakens. Right now, those executives at EA are as Krennic in Rogue One just before the Death Star vaped him and the archival facility he stood atop of off the face of the planet.

(Anyone whining about spoilers gets spammed.)

Or better, Bob Iger sending over his right-hand man to deliver the bad news to EA's brass in person.

This is what happens when you fuck with the Mouse. You get made into examples for others. By this time next year, expect the relationship between Disney, Lucasfilm, and EA to be significantly--if not radically--different. The Mob is kinder to fuckups.
