The Decline of Star Wars Under Disney: A Critique of Propaganda and Franchise Management
The speaker begins with a reflection on their initial perception of Disney's intentions toward the Star Wars fandom. They believed that Disney aimed to create content that made fans happy, enjoying the movies and TV shows without controversy. However, over the years, this perception shifted dramatically. Instead of fandom satisfaction, viewers have been subjected to what the speaker describes as persistent "slaps in the face," where the franchise appears to be used as a vessel for ideological messaging rather than storytelling.
