The Clone Wars cancelled?

Anyone else noticed that the announcement says they're "exploring" the idea of another Star Wars show in a different time period? That's not even a guarantee we're getting another tv show. We're going to be stuck in a Star Wars TV blackout for two years. Shocked

News Report from TF.N:

TCW Bonus Content (aka shortened Season 6) to be only two arcs: third nearly complete arc scrapped.

So ... I'm guessing this will amount to six to eight regular episodes, probably. Good thing is, hopefully, hopefully none of it will mess with Labyrinth of Evil because that novel was a stellar prelude to ROTS and should not be touched.

This was on the #SaveTheCloneWars website today from smgo.tv:

"Hi Folks
We just wanted to check back in and send a message to our friends at #SaveTheCloneWars. First, thank you very much for continuing to show your support for such an awesome animated series – we absolutely hear you and agree that your show deserves a spot on smgo.tv – and because you've been sending us hundreds of requests, we were planning to put it up to the voting phase.
But before we do, we have to point out that we already have two Disney shows, and we have reached out to Disney to present our platform. We want to give them a chance to meet with us before we add more shows. In the future, our goal is to move a show based solely on fan demand, but right now, we’ve found its better to take things a little slow.
We understand this isn’t an ideal solution, and we really want to #SaveTheCloneWars too – so just bear with us for a few more days and keep excited, we’re working on it. Smile

Thanks for your patience all!"

The other two Disney shows are Mark Hamill's new series Motorcity and TRON: Uprising.

See, these crowdsourcing websites bother me when they do this. People are giving their hard-earned cash to essentially help cover the costs of a TV show that is being produced and distributed by a multi-billion-dollar enterprise.

News flash: Disney has the money. They are making a choice to not make The Clone Wars.

I felt the same about the Kickstarter funding a Veronica Mars movie. If the actors and writers, who are worth quite a bit of money by themselves, wanted so badly to make these movies, then they'd find a way to fund, or reduce the costs, without asking the public to fund them (e.g. I've heard of actors saying "I want this movie made, and to get it made, I'll give up my box office share"). Kristen Bell has money, and if she kicked anything into the kickstarter, I'd be surprised.

Reality is, big companies like Disney don't care about anything but the bottom line. That's why they keep bad shows like Ultimate Spider-Man and cancel good ones like TCW and TRON: Uprising. For some reason, the general American public doesn't want good, thought-provoking television with character development, they want Honey Boo-Boo. Since the only thing these companies really care about is money, it's the only thing they'll respond to. Now, if all these companies made was good television, they'd go out of business no matter how much dough they started out with, and then where would we be? At least if fans pay for the show to get started, Disney will really have no reason not to air it on smgo.tv. Just imagine if everyone who watched TCW gave ten or twenty dollars--that would add up fast. This is the problem with the Disney sale (besides the EU possibly going down the toilet): say what you will about George Lucas, but the bottom line was never his top priority.

PS: Can anyone explain to me how to get an avatar on this site? Every time I try to upload one from my computer or choose a preexisting one, it doesn't show up.

You have to resize the avatar to below 6 kb, which I found extreme difficulty with my current one. I had to shrink it below the size limits as they were. I suspect that's your problem. Otherwise its dimensions are too big.

I didn't care much when Disney bought out Lucas, but this just angers me, this was like the only thing I'd bother watching on TV.
