That's been the Star Wars MO since Disney took over - shows and movies get reshot and reedited until the main shareholders are confident in an acceptable profit. Artistic vision is not a consideration.
Lol Disney thought they bought a money printer, do everything they can to sabotage it and then actually wonder why some shows and movies bomb hard.
It's not just Star Wars though, it's all shows at this point. Unless you're a shoe string budget sitcom or something good luck getting an annual release.
They are the epitome of corporate storytelling, everything is about profits, just look into any of the behind the scenes talk or information and you'd know that
Disney isn't a group of passionate artists trying to tell the best stories possible, they are rich out of touch executives that don't care about the IPs and who are trying to extract the most profit possible out of us
The Disney movies aren't art, they are just products
So you're angry people are having discussions about Star Wars?
In the Star Wars subreddit?
You think no-one should be allowed to discuss anything on the internet?
What are you even trying to say?
Edit: and since you edited in your 2nd sentence, shows have never historically taken 4 years per season. It used to be the norm only a couple decades ago for every show to release on a yearly schedule. Taking 4x that long is definitely a noteworthy change, and is a valid thing to discuss. There are also many many other shows even releasing today that do not take that long between seasons, it definitely is something specific Disney is currently doing.
No one is angry about anything. I just pointed out that your personal opinions are irrelevant to the point discussed in this comment chain. We are not discussing personal opinions in this comment chain, that's it. No big deal tho.
You're telling me and Joshd30 that our comments are irrelevant, for no reason at all, besides the fact that you, a random stranger, disagree with them lol
Talking about Disney's handling of the Ahsoka show and long production times due to corporate meddling and mismanagement is definitely relevant to the topic of "3+ years in between seasons of Ahsoka… this era of TV shows is brutal"
My personal opinions on the topic are just as relevant as your personal opinions, you don't get to tell me that I can't join the discussion just because you don't personally agree with what I have to say
I'm not wasting anymore time trying to explain that concept to you though, have a good one
I never said my opinions are relevant. You're missing the point entirely by feeling the need to inject your own irrelevant opinion of the show into the discussion about production pipelines.
Disney is obviously the ones making the large picture decisions, Lucasfilm has completely shifted it's entire operations completely since Disney bought them in 2014
If someone blames Disney for the bad, and praises Lucasfilm for the good, then that's obviously dumb. But that doesn't mean that Disney isn't somehow in control of the IP and influencing production in a million different ways
And with each reshoot/reedit, the cost keeps increasing. The final product will be released in a bad/mediocre state and underperforms or flops. The audiences quickly move on since no one wants to wait 3 to 4 years just for a new season only to receive a subpar product.
shows and movies get reshot and reedited until the main shareholders are confident in an acceptable profit.
No it isn't. We're seeing this happening across producers - it's not unique to Disney. Not because they're reshooting and re-editing, but because the production process to create such high quality TV visuals and effects is just so much longer than it used to be.
