See you all in the chat.
From what I'm hearing, the laser sword film actually makes an attempt to not suck harder than a black hole. But it's too little, and far too late; this is effort that should have been in at the start and not the end. As for why things are this messed up, allow me to present a possible explanation: Office Politics.

That's not tragic. That's pathetic. Corporate office politics ended up crashing a billion-dollar brand, ruining a massive corporate investment, because some Culty Catty Cat Ladies couldn't get their way about trashing the thing they're charged with stewarding for the purpose of maximizing Return On Investment. No wonder the Devil Mouse is mad, and Head Bitch In Charge got quietly sidelined so she can take the fall for this disaster.
I repeat what I said previously: Walk Away. This can't be fixed; even if the Death Cult poz is purged, the Corporate Art Problem remains and this franchise will become whatever Corporate thinks is required to maximize Return On Investment.
Take that energy you want to spend on being mad about Corporate Laser Swords and put it into making and spreading alternatives instead. It's a far more useful and mutually beneficial course of action. You can start with my own Star Knight books; Book One is in the side bars, and I'll have a formal announcement on Books Two and Three this coming week. Others will, no doubt, post links to others below in the Comments or go back into recent past posts where I linked to a pile of them.
