Incredible stories? Have you seen the tripe and garbage they’ve put out in the past 2-3 years? Have you seen the movies that have absolutely bombed lately? Maybe 20 years ago that was true, but Disney today is a radically different company to the Disney of even 20 years ago. Much like Blizzard has changed and mutated over the past 20 years.
I don’t, the white washing would be worse than it is now.
would have been alot more xpacs since the movies are still on going they are working on the 6th one then they are donig the prequels which follow the book series of young jack sparrow and btw he became a pirate by freeing the slaves that the east trading company was collecting
Yeah like that Mulan movie that thanked detainment camps that persecute Uighyrs. Such a great company.

I guess it just me i chuckled at what kind of char. and story wow would be if Disney made the game 
XD sony ignoramus
Considering how Bethesda has bungled numerous things of late … I don’t think Microsoft can do any worse of a job.
Yeah, and that needed to happen.
Do you have any idea how bad the Star Wars canon was before Disney came along? Let me give you a refresher:
Back in the year 2000, the Holocron Continuity Database was constructed by Lucas Licensing. It included all the various sources of canon that had been in place for years, and if anyone wanted to make anything new, it had to fit within the database. There were 6 different categories of ‘canon’ including:
-
G-canon was George Lucas Canon ; the six Episodes and any statements by George Lucas (including unpublished production notes from him or his production department that are never seen by the public). When the films were changed, the newest editions were deemed to take canonical precedence over older ones, as they corrected mistakes, improved consistency between the two trilogies, and expressed Lucas’s current vision of the Star Wars universe most closely. The deleted scenes included on the DVDs were also considered G-canon (when they didn’t conflict with the movie).
-
T-canon, or Television Canon, referred to the canon level comprising the feature film Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the television show Star Wars: The Clone Wars. (It would have also included the ultimately unproduced Star Wars live-action TV series.)
-
C-canon was Continuity Canon, consisting of all recent works (and many older works) released under the name of Star Wars : books, comics, games, cartoons, non-theatrical films, and more. Games were a special case, as generally only the stories were C-canon, while things like stats and gameplay may not have been; they also offered non-canonical options to the player, such as choosing female gender for a canonically male character. C-canon elements have appeared in the movies, making them G-canon; examples include the name “Coruscant,” swoop bikes, Quinlan Vos, Aayla Secura, YT-2400 freighters and Action VI transports.
-
S-canon was Secondary Canon; the materials were available to be used or ignored as needed by authors. This included mostly older works, such as much of the original Marvel Star Wars comics, that predated a consistent effort to maintain continuity; it also contained certain elements of a few otherwise N-canon stories, and other things that “may not fit just right.” Many formerly S-canon elements were elevated to C-canon through their inclusion in more recent works by continuity-minded authors, while many other older works (such as The Han Solo Adventures) were accounted for in continuity from the start despite their age, and thus were always C-canon.
-
D-Canon was Detours Canon, used for material hailing from Star Wars Detours.
-
N-Canon was Non-Canon. What-if stories (such as stories published under the Infinities label) and anything else directly and irreconcilably contradicted by higher canon ended up here. N was the only level that was not considered canon by Lucasfilm. Information cut from canon, deleted scenes, or canceled Star Wars works fell into this category as well, unless another canonical work referenced it and it was declared canon.
Now imagine that you’re Disney and you buy all of this, and you want to start creating something new. They had two choices. Navigate through the maze of what is and is not canon before authorizing anything new. Or make most of it non-canon and start with a mostly fresh slate.
Blizzard effectively did the same thing with the Warcraft RPG. They wanted to create new things without needing to peer through multiple volumes of RPG lore to make sure it didn’t conflict.
It would be a bad move for this game!
Figured as much considering how awful Kingdom Hearts is.

I can agree partly but I’m looking at the Lizzie McGuire reboot and how that fell through / the reasons why as stated by Hilary Duff herself and I’m skeptical on Disney idk.

Uhh, okay sure, let’s take a good look at the past 2-3 years of Disney films:
Major hits:
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2
- Cars 3
- Thor: Ragnarok
- Coco
- Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Over 1.3 billion made in the box office)
- Black Panther (R.I.P Chadwick Boseman)
- Avengers: Infinity War
- Solo: A Star Wars Story
- Incredibles 2
- Ant-Man & the Wasp
- Ralph Breaks the Internet
- Mary Poppins Returns
- Captain Marvel
- Avengers: Endgame
- Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Just under $1.1 billion in the box office)
- Toy Story 4
- The Lion King
- Frozen 2
The only movies that Disney made that performed poorly in the past 2-3 years were:
- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
- A Wrinkle in Time
- Magic Camp
- Mulan
Even if you removed Marvel and Star Wars from the list, that’s still 8 very succesful films in the past 2-3 years, compared to the 4 that failed. So, would you like to try again? Or are you going to stick with that misinformed lie?
Doing well financially doesn’t mean the movies themselves are particularly good. The thread is talking about amazing stories, not money.
Some of the ones you listed were good movies, others were fun but forgettable. And a number were outright bad.
Oh hell no. Disney? They kill everything they acquire.
I checked the Rotten Tomatos listing for all of those movies, and only the ones that were bad were put in the failure category, either because they didn’t make money, they had mostly negative audience/critic reactions, or both.
Even Rise of Skywalker, one of the most polarising Star Wars movies to release, had a favourable audience rating of 86%
The three Star Wars movies in the new trilogy were awful. A number were also remakes, and not even good ones. Beauty and the Beast was a nice movie, but completely unnecessary. TLK didn’t translate well because they tried to make realistic animals while trying to retain the cartoony writing and movement.
Again - just because they make money doesn’t mean they’re good.
Not according to critics/audiences:
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 93% critic rating, 86% audience rating.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi - 90% critic rating, 45% audience rating.
Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker - 51% critic rating, 86% aucience rating.
Again, I looked at the Rotten Tomatos listing for all of those movies before adding them to the lists.
Critics are completely worthless, and the movies are entertaining - but they’re awful past that. They’re not good stories, they have bad writing, and are just more bad movies in the Star Wars universe.
Solo was decent, I liked it, and Rogue One was arguably the best Star Wars movie since the original trilogy. And even if Disney owns them, that doesn’t mean they directly interfere with the development and writing.
Again, the ratings from critics/audiences speak for themselves.
You may not have liked it, and that’s fine. I don’t like Frozen or Frozen 2, doesn’t mean they weren’t good movies, it just means I didn’t like them.
