You present only two possibilities, but ignore two others. 1.) The decision was made with politics prioritized ahead of business. Or, 2.) The decision was made while miscalculating fan/audience response. I know that you refuse to believe in the first one (which I think explains the true motive), but I'm surprised that you're not even willing to entertain the second one.
Maybe in your executive management experience, the only bad or inappropriate decisions you've made were deliberate and intentional (for some weird reason). If so, then I commend you more than words can express. But in my experience, executives make miscalculated decisions pretty routinely. With these same specific executives at LFL/Disney, in fact, you need look no further than recent history to find evidence of miscalculation.
I seriously doubt that Iger and Kennedy deliberately intended all along for Solo to underperform at the box office, for example. I don't believe that they'd want to have to answer questions about fan erosion and see headlines about the first SW movie to lose money. And anyone who reads the SW threads here knows that I'm a fan of TLJ, but I'd be crazy to suggest that they'd make that movie the same way today. All the evidence you need is in the backtracking they did on the very next film.
Judging by The Mandalorian viewership, disgruntled fans didn't stay away. So I wouldn't fault you for believing that everyone will again be coming back for more no matter how pissed off some of us are about the recent firing. But I don't understand how you'd believe that the current narrative surrounding SW and LFL was calculated to be the preferred option.
Oh well, I guess we'll find out if all the sheep do indeed come back to the barn.
It really doesn?t get much better than someone misspelling intelligent when they are trying to insult someone else by accusing them of not being intelligent does it? You love to see it
Maybe you were a clown.
You hate everything.....
And I disagree with the Conservative part.
Mainly because it?s really weird to think a serious conservative would like Luke Skywalker as a hero. The Empire is the definition of a right wing fascist government.
I mean I understand many extremists are pretty thick when it comes to comprehending the messages in the entertainment they enjoy and the politics they follow, but you have to be really willfully ignoring the story to think the Empire isn?t fascist.
Gina , first off , is not a victim. She chose her words over the past years, she chose to share them, well knowing the company she worked for did not support them. It?s not cancel culture is CONSEQUENCE culture.
The last several years certain groups have tried to push the goal lines in an attempt to make speech that was normally unacceptable , mainstream. It?s been a very strong core of the US leadership for a while. When you normalize speech like that, you are setting up for further action. It?s all throughout history.
Many companies just will not stand for non inclusive speech. What Gina has been saying has been the exact opposite of Disney?s values for a LONG TIME. Why should anyone be surprised by this? Or shocked ? Or angry?
How long would a prominent leader in an organization like the NRA last of they were talking about new gun laws?

If someone like Burr is being measured and careful about what he says, that's frightening. Goes to show how far out of reach this ship is already sailing.
