GL already turned when he sold over to Disney. He himself was very limiting towards the progression of Star Wars even before that. I'll admit there are very convincing AI attempts online that IMO actually outdo what Disney has come out with since they've won rights, but that alone doesn't justify using AI.

What this all boils down to is that Disney should not hold the rights. At the end of the day, these AI users are still putting down some kind of story and better dialogue which Disney does not want to follow. They've forgone the real essence and telling of Star Wars and have replaced it with a very Disney vibe that appeals to what Disney chooses to. They've left out the fans entirely.

lol Nope. I'll happily watch the worst films made by the worst human hack writers over the even the best regurgitated slop "films" that a chatbot pisses out.

What I'm saying is, if the real people are the ones coming up with the story/scenes and dialogue IRL, that part of the content alone is still better than what Disney puts out where they're trying to make bank. Disney themselves used AI to make Mark Hamil's son take on Mark's face in Mandolorian. They are just as guilty as anyone using AI when it comes to Star Wars. I agree though, AI would not make a good story teller.
