Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?
By RadialArcana 2025-02-26 07:49:06
Me theory about Star Wars is that George Lucas was so buttblasted about how people responded to his terrible prequels, that he sold it to Disney and wanted it to go down in flames on purpose.
"If I can't be in control, then I want it to go down in flames" mentality.
There is a story long ago where he wanted to expand or create a movie studio on his land, and his neighbors stopped him getting planning permission. So in response he decided to make low cost housing and a bus stop on it (cause he knew that would infuriate all these millionaires neighbors far more, to have poors around).
That's the kind of guy he is, if he can't be in control then he wants whoever takes over to make a dogs ear of it. Then he can sit back and laugh to himself about it being in flames, and all the fans that dared not like his prequels be upset when it's utterly ruined by a feminist ideologue.
Quote: Fast forward to 2012, and Kennedy stepped down from her role at The Kennedy/Marshall Company to become co-chair of Lucasfilm Ltd. Five months later, when Lucas sold Lucasfilm to The Walt Disney Company, Kennedy was promoted to president at Lucas’ request – a position she still holds to this day.

He knew exactly what KK is and how utterly wrong she was for the position, and that's why he asked she be put in charge upon selling to Mickey Mouse.

I don't think Lucas is that conniving.
What I've come to conclude from him over the years is that he's irrational and childlike, the success of the OT is largely because he wasn't surrounded by "yes" people but kept on reigns, his early ideas were just silly. The prequels, which I'm not sure I'd say were poorly received by younger generations at least, are what happened when he lacked those guardrails. You can see his childlike approach to these things throughout ep1-3 but also in some of the commentary around other IP. He did a great job building an empire around SW and putting people in the right places, but whenever he got involved, things went off the rails.
The drama surrounding video game titles that Lucasfilm buried or redirected constantly reveals his inattention to detail, somewhat childlike approach to things, and unwillingness to move on subjects. OTOH I don't think he's really spiteful enough to sink Star Wars and all his IP, he attempted to remain involved after the acquisition and did to some degree that they allowed it. His relationship with Disney goes back into the 80s and beyond Lucasfilm IPs, he's helped design rides at the parks over the years, so Disney being the one to acquire SW wasn't exactly a surprise and I doubt he sold to them thinking it would sink, definitely not intentionally. He just doesn't have the foresight and nature to do that in my observation.
Disney also somewhat notoriously discarded his plans for the sequel trilogy, which he delivered to them (and sounded absolutely absurd). They also discarded all the legends canon, something Lucas spent decades building, I can't imagine that was well received by him. They ran with their own vision, which under Iger probably would've ended up the same way, KK or Lucas or not. I find it unlikely Disney solely hired KK based on Lucas' recommendation, anyway, and even if they had - would it have been any different? The same faults that made post-Disney Start Wars weak exist everywhere throughout Disney properties including the parks and other IP. There's no reason to think they wouldn't follow the same approach with Star Wars if KK wasn't involved and I fully expect whoever follows her will see the same vision through because that's just what modern Disney is.

That city Jeuno is a raid or dungeon thing in 14 and I heard they tried to also steal the assets for a non combat city zone in 11, to try and get people interested in the old game too

Players were super paranoid back in 2013-2015, thinking the game would just die any moment. They figured it would be smart to make it feel more like FF14, though, it didn't need to be. I'd imagine Asura didn't even need trusts in the first place. Regardless, the corruption was silly and fun until it's time out.

After restarting my PC, "magically" 50GB were freed...
I suppose that space was being consumed by old artifact from Windows Update.

50GB of updates is very unlikely. Windows is at most 32GB on its own.
Its definitely cached porn. Your search history is probably full of “bury bone in missys back yard”

She was also Penny in Inspector Gadget. Really grew up beautiful. Read that she was suffering complications from a liver transplant. :( Poor lady. May she rest in peace.

On a completely different note:
Packets is awesome!
I got Farsha to ilvl today and had enough boulders to only need like 9500 right off the bat.
Merely mentioned in LS chat that I was working on it, and wishing that my AH would sell (4 more Impatiens, 2 Wyrm Ash, and a partridge in a pear tree to go) so I could see progress.
Suddenly people were like, "CHECK YOUR DBOX! >:D"
Next thing I knew my inventory was chocked full of boulders. I had Boulders coming out of eye sockets!
4704 more boulders to get for i119-III Farsha.
Packets is awesome.

He didn't die as much as hit the end key, if you read the story you'll see it was a planned thing. His wife and dog were found dead at the same time.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
