And I was like, ‘And Spider-Man, we could do that too, ’cause Sony had approached us during the first movie about a little integration. So I would have put both of [those characters] in, but neither of the deals were made.” After filming finished, Marvel Studios told Whedon, “‘We’re making a Captain Marvel movie and we’ve got Spider-Man as a property,’ and I’m like, ‘I’ve already locked my film you f**kers! Thanks for nothing.”

Why? The ratings are continuously dropping because it hasn't been funny in over a decade. The only viewer opinion I've read about why it should continue always seems to be "I couldn't imagine Sunday night without it." Habit doesn't make it good. The people working on the show who complain about its quality are no better.

Gotta be a revenue thing. Maybe it makes its money back from advertising or merchandising, so they keep going. That's my theory for Disney's/ABC's SHIELD.

Yes, because your not going to have your own cast of annoying as f-ck characters!

The ratings are fairly stable, actually. Down from its peak, but very good by today's network TV standards (in the sense that EVERYTHING is down now, thanks to On Demand, streaming, DVD, etc). They make a ton of money off of the syndication package, as well.

No, thank you.
You see Boba Fett was a sweet little boy that liked to build robots then...

"Frankly, thanks to the prequels, I never need to see Boba Fett again. He used to be mysterious and badass, even though he died like a punk in Return of the Jedi, and then it turned out he used to be a kid with a bad haircut who somehow went from space orphan to feared bounty hunter. The mystery was solved, and the solution was awful. Boba is done. I’d rather have a movie about Ice Cream Maker Guy than Boba Fett."

I don't much like Jar Jar but what a goddamned douche JJ is. Its like he's wiping his muddy feet off in someone else's expensive rug.
(I called it a few months ago: Episode VII is going to be an impressively generic film that panders to the common person and they'll hail it as some brilliant return to form. The moment popular thinking and the audience have a say in storytelling, theres no fucking point in telling it because now its simply product.)
I'm talking about comparing '89 to now. It's a far cry from what it used to be. And, ratings aside, they need to learn when enough is enough.
I totally agree. I used to love the Simpsons and the earlier episodes are still incredibly funny. But nowadays Imhardly even bother watching the new episodes, because they simply aren't funny.
To my mind, the whole thing started going down hill when they let Ricky Gervais write an episode.
The eternal awesome hilarity of George Lucas saying the above is nearly equaled by the timid dissent of the voice off camera that says "Well..." in response to it. Someone mentions it in the 'tube comments section.
How involved, if at all, is George Lucas in Star Wars VII? I saw that photo of J.J. Abrams surrounded by Kennedy, Kasdan, and Williams and wondered why they (two of the three) were there? Was it just a photo op? Why are Lucas' cronies there?
