On a positive note… I’ve always said that one of the worst parts about TROS was that it made me feel stupid for caring. If nothing else, it helps to know that some of the major players cared just as much as we did, if not more, even if the suits couldn’t see why it mattered.

The news about the Ben Solo script actually makes me even angrier about The Acolyte (and Willow) cancellation because it means that Disney/a couple of suits don't trust Lucasfilm to tell the stories that originated with Lucas/the brand they acquired.

And that is... Whew.

I finally found the source of this! I know some may deem me a masochist, but I would be fascinated to see a longer cut of TROS.

Its all so strange. But I'm still happy to know he fought for this character and let us rats and reylos know he did. That we weren't alone in this battle; he led the charge.

Hope is like the sun. If you only believe it when you see it, you'll never make it through the night.

w/alt text so everyone can enjoy Iger being dragged:

The Sietch of Sci-fi
The Sietch of Sci-Fi | @TSOS
X.com
Imagine being Bob Iger right now. You greenlight 'The Mandalorian and Grogu'. After 4 weeks, the trailer still hasn't hit 10 Million views on YouTube. Everyone is clowning on how bad the movie looks.
Now, the Ben Solo news break. EVERYONE wants it. You destroyed it.
They wanted well written characters, played by great actors, you gave them Jeremy Allen White as Rotta the Hutt. They wanted meaningful stories, you gave them Sidequest: The Movie.
Remember when going to see a Star Wars movie felt like the event of a lifetime? These days, the announcement of a cancelled Star Wars project is more interesting than an actual movie that comes out 6 months from now.
When they ask you who destroyed Star Wars, know the right answer. It's not Kathleen Kennedy. It's the greedy Disney CEOs up top. It's those who no longer see stories, only revenue.

I have so many thoughts this morning. One of the most compelling is imagining the absolute scenes that must be unfolding at Lucasfilm HQ right now.

Is it too wild to think the whole interview was set up by Adam specifically to talk about Hunt for Ben Solo?

van @vanconver.bsky.social · 1d

so anyway naming names and the script never being leaked and it only being discussed now feels like this was a tactical move from a certain man wanting to stretch his executive producer muscles 👁️

adam legit gave the elevator pitch in that interview, including budget, writers and director lmao, and said specifically why TWO people said no. it wasn't even subtle tbh

friend who works in film had this to say and i want to hold on to his words. being delulu is in my blood

Honestly I think he's talking about this to get people buzzing and turn up the pressure on Disney to bring him back. I spend too much time with actors, I know the trick lol

ADAM DRIVER: Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong. The pitch deck is reborn today. The negotiations are just beginning. And I will not be the last Reylo...[cut to Steven Soderbergh in his office]

I really do think even now CEOs get nervous if too many women like a thing.

They don't want to diversify. The Acolyte and Reylo are beloved by women and LGBTQIA people. If the dudebros notice, they get angry. And CEOs think dudebros have cash.
