Like the toy, the character is only what fans make him to be.
To be honest not a lot of interesting news (to me anyway) came out of D23, the annual Disney fan gathering. I mean, stuff came out. The Pixar news I should probably look into. However, I don’t care about Disney’s live-actionification of their animated classics, the Marvel news involves characters I wasn’t invested in and the Black Widow news we had previously took the interest out of that movie. The Rise Of Skywalker interests me more out of morbid curiosity and getting to spend time with my friends than any real interest in the movie itself. And Disney+ is only interesting if you can afford to pay for it. Interesting that YouTube and VuDu are embracing ad-support for the unsubscribed and bonuses if you are subscribed but everyone else still insists on paid subscriptions. There are so few free services left and by the time you pay for all the other ones it’ll probably end up costing MORE than cable or satellite.
One of the few things worth finding interest in is The Mandalorian, Star Wars’ first ever live-action series for Disney+. They’ve had the movie of course, TV movies like the two Ewok movies, and animated series, but this is their first live-action series. Part of the D23 news includes a trailer, and while I have a mixed opinion there’s a more positive one online than the franchise has had since The Last Jedi.
