My Life In Fandom: They Hate You, Stop Paying Them.

It gets worse for the Devil Mouse and Mouse Wars.

World Class Bullshitters has documented the effect on the merchandise sales that the Devil Mouse's management has had, all for the worse, and now it's the Blu-Ray sales that show the sale. Rian Johnson's trashfire sold half of what Abrams' first outing. It's a massive trashfire there also. I would expect that other merch sectors show a similar tale, and the bean counters at Lucasfilm and Disney are aware of the collapsing merch revenue. The PR spin is as much a tell that they know of that as it is awareness of other reports showing this same effect.

Now we're getting reports of massive reshoots of the final sequel film. That's never good news; it's going to be worse than a trashfire, and that's in the hands of someone that can construct a proper ending- something we know J.J. Abrams cannot do without help, help he doesn't have here. Eight possible endings shot are not a good sign, especially so close to release. Only the shills and bugmen are going to not dump on this good and hard, but those same folks are going to be as loud as possible to drown out the rest of us.

At this point, if they wanted a controlled demolition then they got it and now they're looking to atomize the rubble so nothing remains. This is not accidental anymore, and I doubt it ever was. This is deliberate, and far beyond cynical amoral corporate exploitation; this is malevolent cultural manipulation, a deliberate demolition of a powerful piece of popular culture, so that whatever void is left is filled with SJW Death Cult stuff.

This is what happens when you play the paypig. They kill what you love anyway, wear it as a skin suit, make you lie about it in public to humiliate you, and then replace it with their own woke bullshit when the suit falls apart at last.

STAR WARS IS KILL!

Walk away. It's done. You can't save it, but you can find something else that isn't pozzed that does scratch that itch. Besides my stuff, look below.

If your local library doesn't have it, Amazon or your local used bookstore likely does.
