Actually it makes sense it wasn’t Premiere. As far as stories go Luca has one of the most simplest. There isn’t any epic adventure or something important on the line if someone fails. It’s about fitting in and a small town bike race. And it works so well.
The Disney Thread: For Everything Concerning the House of Mouse

And I get that, but its also a more accessible and enjoyable story than say Cruella. GRANTED-they're probably raking in the Happy meal bucks with Luca right now, so maybe they thought it'd balance out.
I saw some people talking about this and the 2 things that stood about to me were 1) the name Slave-1 was never in the movies. It was added for merchandising. In fact, a lot of ships and other characters/creatures names were added to the toys because otherwise Lucas/Kenner couldn't copyright the toys. And 2, )they've been giving generic names to a lot of the newer LEGO Star Wars sets. The Gozanti cruiser became the Imperial Assault Carrier, Phoenix Home from Rebels became the Rebel Assault Frigate, and the Arquitens cruiser is now the Imperial Light Cruiser and the list goes on.
Slave-1 is in The Empire Strikes Back.
she means the name Slave 1 was never used in the films. The ship was present but the name was never mentioned. I know it wasn't mentioned in Empire. I don't remember if it was mentioned in Attack of the Clones. I THOUGHT it was mentioned in The Mandalorian but it sounds like I was mistaken.
Either way that sounds like a very odd thing to go PC about considering that it's a fantasy setting where slavery is still brought up as a problem in the galaxy.
I guess they want Boba Fett to be less of a bad guy now.
I'm not saying everything needs their own special proper name, but I will say that a Lego set for "Millenium Falcon" sounds like the actual real thing, and a Lego set for "Old Smuggler Cargo Ship" sounds like a cheap Chinese knock-off.

They're not being PC, it's just marketing. All of the old ships that only ever had names thanks to old toys are being rebranded with stuff easier to find by people looking for it. A new fan watching Mando isn't going to know the ship is called Slave-1 because it only ever had a name through the toys.
True, and most likely they won't go that way because in all their recent media and films, the Millenium Falcon is called by name. HOWEVER, considering the Falcon is the star of their new ride, Smuggler's Run, it could be renamed "Smuggler's Run Cargo Ship" and there's a whole new generation of kids that would know it that way.

Star Wars: Visions Nine short anime films coming in September.
I guess they announced The Owl House is ending after a shortened season 3? Why do I even get attached to shit on Disney any more... they just keep canceling all of their clever and fun stuff for more reruns of Jesse.

Dave the Barbarian and Fillmore! aren't on Disney+. This is an outrage.
They're also keeping Tale Spin away from me last I checked. Outrage indeed!
I've watched Tale Spin on Disney+ here in the US. I just checked, it definitely there.
Lucky you!
I just checked, full of hope (not really), and Germany/possibly Europe is still out of luck. Neither Tale Spin nor Captain Balu und seine tollkühne Crew brought result (I also tried Käpt'n).
Still not bored though!
You have to wait a bit. The show will be on Disney+ August 4th.Lucky you!

Hope for @GasBandit ?

From what I understand, they told her Black Widow was going to be a theatrical only release due to her contract stating she gets part of the gross. Later on they altered this to be theatre and premiere streaming co-release, but when Scarlet went to them asking for an adjustment to the contract so she would also get part of the streaming revenue, they ignored her, thus why she is now filing the lawsuit for breach of contract.
Everyone in the twitter replies to all these tweets seem to think that ScarJo wanted everyone to be forced to go to a movie theater to catch covid, and that's not at all what this lawsuit is about. But I'm sure Disney is pushing that narrative, hard.

The company that told their employees they would pay for their college. When Covid hit, they rescinded this and told them they were no longer paying. Didn't matter if the students were already enrolled, already in class, etc. Nope. You're cut off. Billion dollar company. Ooh! We might lose some money! Better fuck over the little guys so we can keep our multi-million dollar bonuses.
Even the WWE isn't immune to that anymore: AEW can't absorb EVERYONE but it and New Japan have been picking up the cream of the crop for awhile now. Unlike the WWE, they are quite effective at using most of their talent.
I am refering to the shift from wrestlers getting a cut of PPV sales, to oops, sorry now that we stream everything on the network, PPV sales don't exist any more.
$30 for fooking Jungle Cruise? No wonder Scar Jo is suing. That's too Got Damn much to pay for what is likely a second rate movie.
