So around 10K USD spent on each signature based of season 1's budget. Claiming something "blew up" with 700 signatures the first 24h is just ridiculous.
I doubt Disney is willing to spend that kind of money on 17k dedicated fans.
Just let it go… Manny Jacinto was the only interesting character, and the concept that “Sith == Freedom to choose” was what made it so. Sadly, they didn’t really do anything with it
Disney/Star Wars needs to stop with all this “foundling is special and can save the universe” crap. we’ve seen it literally hundreds of times.
