The Cara Dune action figures will probably be palette swapped to another character (like they do with Transformers, Masters Of The Universe, TMNT to expand the number of characters without altering the toy’s design too much) . Don’t think they are just going to throw all the stock in the trash/furnace. So look out for new athletic built female characters in upcoming Star Wars media

Some clickbait YouTube videos showed up on my homepage. "Mandalorian in trouble??!" No you idiot. It's a stupid premise you're trying to manufacture outrage dollars from. Even ignoring some of the other connotations, "not renewing someone's contract and letting it expire to not get them involved in future roles" is a strange thing to spin into "show in trouble". Let's be honest, "Star Wars is ruined and will die soon" has its own economy at this point. Depending on who you're listening to, Disney are shitting their pants over the "backlash" over Carano and are going to offer her an improved contract and an expanded role, or they're bracing themselves to pivot to Book of Boba Fett replacing the show altogether as Pedro will soon announce his departure due to his commitment to The Last of Us. f***ing grifters, man.

Enough about Carano and politics, more about how awesome this was: It’s been two months and I still get goosebumps Disney: "We're gonna remind just how powerful Anakin and Luke were." I don’t think the character was important enough to get any more than the one she already had. Dude, it's Star Wars, they make figures for everything. Random dude who walked to the door in the background gets a character. And, random background character is in 2 movies, and changed hats, they get a new character. When Porkins gets a figure, you know they scraped the bottom

At least Porkins got decent screen time, I'm still waiting for Constable Zuvio to show up in The Force Awakens

If there's one segment of the internet I hope at least becomes greatly less visible someday it's the manufactured outrage Disney/Marvel/Lucasfilm/etc. production fanfic shit that gets peddled by the super toxic sites and then ends up multiplying its spread at the clickbait sites as well, all cluttering up any Google related site's news page for me. I just with the people who spend all day eating that shit up would just like do literally anything else with their time. Like go to a new series if you hate all these ones so much (I realize the irony of posting this on a pro wrestling forum but listen. Listen. I don't have a point now I'm just rambling).

What's oddest about it is it's always some schmoe with a ridiculous handle/persona peddling obvious bullshit and still people act like it's legitimate and share it.

It's like certain bitter ex DC contracted artists that attack DC & Marvel daily on their 3-4 hour YouTube Livestreams, yeah guess what? While you do that the people you always go after are actually working on deadlines

My favourite is the guy who always talks about his totally real sources inside Disney feeding him all kinds of exclusive scoops, only for the opposite to repeatedly happen within a few days. "Kathleen Kennedy is about to be fired."LucasFilm: "Four more years." "Brie Larson has been fired from Captain Marvel 2, expect confirmation of a new actress any day now."Marvel: "Yo, here's Brie Larson to announce Captain Marvel 2." "Pedro Pascal's done, Boba Fett is the lead in Mando's third season."LucasFilm: "Who wants a Boba Fett series and Mando season three? Well you're in luck!" "Disney+ has hemorrhaging subscribers for months and firing Gina Carano will be a fatal blow in the streaming wars."Disney: "We've hit 95 million subscribers, up eight million since December. Our target was 90 million by November 2023, BTW."

Meanwhile you've got morons buying everything he says and calling this grifter "m'lord" and dopey shit like that. These are all grown people.

So she's gone. Be nice to actually talk about the series now and what we expect for Season 3 and how it's going to tie in with the other two shows.
