More like, show's dogshit

You can't handwave a show that's written as badly to botch the golden premise that show had

I mean a fucking Jedi killer? How the hell do you hire writers that bad to botch this?

if that was the case then d+ wouldn't have removed every single merch item from the store. they basically just caved to a bigoted mob for no reason.

If your show is unpopular merch doesn't sell either lmfao

The merchandise getting pulled was probably for tax reasons. If your going to write off the entire project as a loss you don't want anymore revenue being booked to it. Same reason Disney memory holes some streaming shows when the numbers don't survive.
