Fuck them both.

I'm still gleeful about this news

The Netflix deal also required D&D to be exclusively on the sets of their Netflix projects and not be away for Star Wars at the same time.

Oh, so they made their choice when they signed that Netflix deal then.

I hope they Google reactions to them giving up Star Wars tbh lol

i've yet to find a single person who is upset they're leaving the next star wars project

... probably don't exist lmao

I'm low key upset. I think the SW franchise is already in the crapper so I'd have rather they stayed there instead of stinking up Netflix's catalog with some new crap like that alternate reality the confederacy won the war show. I think they're clueless talentless hacks and they're getting lauded because they're white men who got lucky. *BLEAGH*

"-D&D were thinking of leaving Star Wars because of Star Wars' apparently "toxic fandom". A source close to D&D said "Who wants to go through that again? Not them.This was in the 'Life’s Too Short' category." And that it was a "hard quit"

the fandom is toxic but most of the criticism and heat these guys got were pretty justified.

Has it been mentioned what type of show they have in mind for Netflix?

[nicolroco]

They probably don’t even fucking know what kind of show they have in mind lmfao

[trekkiepetrelli]

fans were cruel to d&d as they were to kelly marie tran

there is a very toxic sup-group in the fandom that makes me hate being a star wars fan bc they're so embarrassingly racist and cruel. i am glad d&d got the treatment because they actually deserve it
