    Current Disney/Lucasfilm is creatively bankrupt at this point. Star Wars was a money printing machine when Disney purchased the IP from Lucas. Somehow they found a way to screw that up with their incompetence and hubris. I still love Star Wars (the OT and the EU), but i am completely apathetic to anything "Disney Star Wars" at this point, they killed it.

      It still is a money printing machine. Disney have literally made triple what they paid for the license back in the 00's. On purely financial measures it's been a staggering success, and spoiler alert, that's the only measure they care about.

    Blaming the trolls for the lack of an audience is incredibly dishonest. If they had a good show people would be watching. Mainstream media and the Mother organizations (with government support) did everything they could to end metal music, and gangster rap. But those albums gave the fans what they wanted and the audience grew in spite of the 'trolls'. If these were good shows, no matter what the trolls did or said, would not keep the fans from viewing them. The shows are bad, that's why no one is watching. It is that simple of an explanation.

Star Trek had three seasons, a cartoon series and three movies. Star Wars had three movies, Ewoks, and Droids. And the comicbooks and novels of both Trek and Wars were wildly imaginative and made their universes bigger and more interesting than many of the subsequent films and TV series did.

    I realize that roasting the show represents a lot of views and I wouldn't presume to tell anyone what to do But it sends a much more definitive statement if this comes out and no one even bothers talking about it.
