The Star Wars sequels are sadly very, very dumb. Pretty but dumb. And with so much dumb comes so many questions. Questions I'd like answered. The masters of great storytelling JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson have made a mess out of Star Wars. They have contradicted each other and themselves. Who is Finn? Who is Poe? Why is Chewie there? Can we get a satisfying ending and Will Bob Iger let Kathleen Kennedy keep her job?

Black Panther Wakanda Forever had its work cut out after losing Chadwick Boseman. Did they move the story in the right direction? Will we see a different Black Panther in the next movie? And is Namor the best villain to have a dad bod? Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Four is over. So let's have a laugh and talk about Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and scary bouncers.

It's finally over and Disney has done it again and completely destroyed not only Obi-Wan Kenobi but also Darth Vader. A stupid show, written by people who truly don't understand what made Star Wars special. Kathleen Kennedy and Lucasfilm have put the final nail in the coffin. At least we can laugh at the sinking ship.

It only took Kathleen Kennedy and the post George Lucas, Lucasfilm seven short years to kill the once biggest film franchise of all time. But don't worry, Kathleen under Bob Iger has everything under control. Let's discuss what the future holds.

The Mandalorian season 3 has started and if you didn't watch The Book Of Boba Fett it won't make a lot of sense. It doesn't make much sense even if you did watch it. Disney in their wisdom with Jon Favreau has decided to have season 3 leap ahead 2 years from season 2. But have they? Even they don't know. Let's explore episode 1 of the new Mandalorian season.

Leslye Headland was at Star Wars Celebration selling her new Star Wars show The Acolyte. And boy. Did we learn a lot about her knowledge of Star Wars and her willingness to bend the truth to get a big pay cheque. But it's not exactly the first time she has done that, is it?. Plus we got some interesting insight into the working mind of Kathleen Kennedy and her influence at LucasFilm. Strap in and enjoy the ride.

A lot of people talk about Disney's Star Wars being dead. Could the franchise be revived back to its old glory? Well that could be a bit hard to achieve with Lucasfilm hating George Lucas' work and the new fans also thinking it wasn't very good. And with the old fans leaving in droves, is it time to throw the last shovel of dirt on to the grave?

Australians were once world champions at selling products. This was done by appealing to the customer. The old simple idea of marketing to the people that buy your products. But that idea is now for dinosaurs. Marketing is now weirdly about sending the right message. Even if that message loses millions of dollars. Let's have a beer and discuss how to sell products the right way. With some awesome examples. Cheers.

The Mandalorian season 3 episode 4 has somehow out-done any other Disney Lucasfilm production to become the dumbest television I have ever witnessed. Where full B Grade movie making can be fun to watch, you don't expect it from a major movie studio that is sinking millions into production. Let's laugh at their pain.

Disney's flagship Star Wars show and Dave Filoni's dream job, Ahsoka has finished. And somehow I think it's the most poorly-written story Lucasfilm has produced. Ahsoka forgets how to use her spaceship. Grand Admiral Thrawn turns into Dr Evil. And Sabine proves again that she is one of the worst people in the galaxy. Oh and zombies. Kathleen Kennedy has all her hopes riding on Dave Felon to save Star Wars. Is that a mistake?
