When did Force Ghosts first become a thing in Star Wars cannon? Wondering if this will be a thing in S2, if it lines up with the origin of them, no idea when they first popped up to be honest.

Return of the Jedi isn't it? You see, yoda, obi wan and anaikan.
Could argue obi wan speaking to luke in the trench run is him as a force good as well.
 
Like we all didn’t know that was going to happen lolz

Well looks like normies didn’t want to watch a show about lesbian space witches!!

In fact normies don’t want to even watch Starwars anymore.

Disney killed the biggest non cartoon/card game IP ever!!

Just as well that DEI money propping them up!

Headland to replace Kennedy? Seems like the idea replacement!!

Fails upwards has form in just blowing her first 180million dollars and has enough dirt on the Hollywood elite to blackmail them to stay at the top!!!
 
Saw this posted as a comment.

"I felt a great disturbance in the force. As if a million voices cried out in.pure joy."

Kathleen Kennedy and Leslye Headland must be so mad.

I’m not sure that’s this is the ‘exclusively great’ news people think it is.

The show was clearly a flop but it should be OK for a show to be bad and ‘not liked’ by ‘you’. All the hysteria surrounding it will put people off… which likely means that we’re going to get even less risk taking and more dull ‘fan service’ type adventures - stuck with something that ‘works…ish’ until we’re all bored to death.

I’d rather have risk and flops than the same things and characters being reheated over and over again. Thats how we end up with Mando series 3.

On the plus side, there’s just too much Star Wars these days - I didn’t tune into this or Ashoka. I’m fatigued. That’s OK… but maybe now Disney will let the franchise breathe for a bit…!

If people want more shows like Mando and Andor then they need to put up with, and watch the bad ones too. I feel duty bound to watch most Sci-fi content so I get the content I really want made. If people stop watching altogether then they'll stop making any Star Wars altogether. Or just make much less of it which could mean less good stuff too.

Fair point but the dynamic needs to be carefully balanced - put out too much content and people like me get put off.

I have other things to fill my time with… I don’t want an ‘obligation’. Keep me excited and then I’ll watch.

I think this is the key, feels like they're releasing 2-3 shows a year at the moment and it's just too much.

I suspect there was a mandate within Disney that there had to be at least 1 either Marvel or Star Wars show on the platform starting at least 3-4 weeks from the ending of the last one to try and keep people subscribed month on month and also why there hasn't been a full release that can be binged in one go from any SW or Marvel series either.

Completely disagree with this weird notion that you should watch trash Sci fi/fantasy in the hope that the good stuff gets made. All watching trash shows does is give the mpression that it's OK to make future trash, watch the good stuff by all means.

The worry is 'no one watches this stuff anymore, so we' ve stopped making it', which is certainly a possibility. Look at Picard season 3, almost universally loved, despite seasons 1 & 2 not being well received. If people bailed on it then we'd never have got it. Although I get your point, with the new black ops star trek series something very few wanted compared to the tease of Legacy at the end of Picard S3.

That makes a lot of sense.

I stopped watching picard during s1, but my understanding is that it was a guaranteed three seasons with potential for 5, it could also be argued that no one watching it meant they did the u-turn on having old cast members which is why s3 turned out the way it did.
 
No doubt Critical Drinker / Nerdrotic are rubbing his hands together with the video they can make off this news of it being cancelled. Can't say I'm surprised it has been cancelled.

This seems to be narrative that’s the media been running since they could no longer turn a blind eye to the dropping audience numbers and quality.

Blame the people that’s not watching?

Why should massive companies be rewarded for a sub standard product?

Why shouldn’t producers, show runners and writers be held accountable for their poor work?
