Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Adamska]

On Trolling Doomcuck:

The best place to do that's on 4chan by far. He usually is very cagey and refuses to deal with actual leakers for some autistic reason that I can't easily discern. He will however take 4chan leaks primarily and then either personal friends' bullshit or reddit second. So you know what to do; especially if you try to mix in hopium this fucking 5th columnist clown wants to feed to fans to make them hatewatch and consoom product.

On Borba Fatt:
The more I look at the old man that plays him, the more I'm amused and annoyed. Boba was never a favorite character of mine, mainly because drooling retarded people tried to overblow him in fanfic and in the EU. But even then I never full on hated him; he just never should've been emphasized so much, especially for what he did on screen.

On Dave:
I'm still waiting for the small child or retarded macguffin to appear in the Borba Fatt show... unless Jabba's money is the important thing that they gotta stop his shitty gangsta OCs from stealing. Dave never cared for the Prequels; he cared about his TCW fanfics he whined at George to make.

Actually, how did this fat worthless faggot become so noteworthy even then? What did he even do before he brownnosed and tattled his way to the top?

Anyways, my idea for a Disney short series would've just been Spartacus with the Tuskens vs. the Rakata as a three part event if I had to reference Tattooine like they desperately keep doing because Luke and memberberries.

I think @The Gangster Computer hit the nail on the head by comparing Blorba Fatt to the televised root canal that is Picard. Both are an exercise in the weapons-grade cringe of watching an old man trying to be goofy or whatever (and if you think that's a bad comparison, watch the episode with Patrick Stewart donning an eyepatch and sending the audience into fits of agony with his embarrassing French routine), whilst forcing in some dumbass "young, hip" characters around the ageing protagonist (with Picard, it was Android Girl and Strong Black Drug Abuser, and here, it's people like Fennec Shand and the Fisher Price Bikers). And to cap it off, they both reek of low-effort, low-budget visual and SFX design...with Picard's empty sets like the Borg Cube and LITERAL Stuttershock SFX Theft being neck-and-neck with Boba's horrendous Tusken costumes and butt-ugly vehicular designs.

And that's to say nothing of the fact that both shows brought beloved characters back for roles or narrative functions that literally no one asked for. Wanna see Picard, in uniform, on the bridge of a Starship again? Nope, he's gonna be a washout Admiral embarking on a mostly spaceless adventure with a knock-off Firefly crew as they escort some Android Girl to safety. Wanna see Boba Fett get into cold-blooded escapades as a feared bounty hunter, exercising precision and tact as he competes with the rest of the criminal underworld in search of valuable targets? Nah, you're gonna watch him be the Nicest Little Crime Lord in the Dune Sea, as he rights all the evil wrongs of the world in this wholesome family adventure on Disney Plus ("Have him pet the Rancor, kids are watching!").

Seriously, if you're willing to lower your standards to consider crap like this passable, I think you're the exact kind of lobotomized consoomer audience Disney depends on for their Disney+ revenue. Just because they're not outright shitting on Fett's character in the same vein as Jake Skywalker doesn't mean that any of this is in-character or acceptable for his character.

And I say all of this as someone who gives less than a modicum of a shit about Boba Fett or the fanboy cult he's developed since the 80's. Jango is better in every way, anyway.

It’s either spic twins, Cad Bane, Rotta or Embo. One of those Filoni abominations is gonna show up. My money is on Embo because he’s a “favourite” of the wolf fucker.

If the show had actual T content then this legend of the early 2000s would show up.

God I’d love for Durge to “knightfall” nuBoba.

Or just kill any main characters, which was the sole reason behind using Durge in comics. He is a hero-killer, indestructible, immortal and full of rage.

The Book of Boba Fett Is Inducing Major Spy Kids Nostalgia​

Archive

Spoiler: Article Text

I had a feeling during this week's episode of The Book of Boba Fett. Maybe you got it, too. It was around the time when the show introduced a merry band of droided-out gang members, riding around multi-colored bikes. It returned when Danny Trejo appeared as a mysterious Rancor keeper. Finally, I knew what it was when I saw that, like Episode One, Robert Rodriguez directed this installment.

Things in The Book of Boba Fettare starting to slightly feel—in the best way, of course—a little less like Star Wars and a little more like Rodriguez's seminal franchise of films: Spy Kids. Anyone remember Spy Kids? The four movies, which released between 2001 and 2011, marked his first major Hollywood success, showcasing the fast-paced, all-fun action sequences he'd become known for. And, of course, we received the brilliant news last year that Rodriguez had plans to reboot Spy Kids, which originally starred Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino.

This might just be my early '2000s soft spot talking (it's definitely my early '2000s soft spot talking), but the campier-than-hell droid gang, with gadgets like a robot eyes and flamethrower arms, feels reminiscent of when Rodriguez made electroshock bubbles and instant cement critical weapons in the OG Spy Kids. Of course, the appearance of longtime Rodriguez collaborator Danny Trejo—who played Isador Cortez in Spy Kids—only made me want that reboot even sooner. Spy Kids was always a little gross, too (Floop's Fooglies, my god), and the cutaway to a Star Wars creature enjoying a big ol' burp gives you a sense that Rodriguez's childlike side is still alive. All we need is Alan Cumming to show up as another crime boss on Tatooine.

As for the rest of The Book of Boba Fett? Let's keep that tinge of Spy Kids goofiness alive. Except for the "Aroma-Scope" schtick Rodriguez used for Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World, which gave viewers a scratch-and-sniff card to play with during the movie. I don't want to smell the Hutt twins.

I have some unfortunate news for you...

...so, yeah. Durge isn't showing up in Blorba Fatt. Not unless his sole purpose is to be resurrected and humiliated by Aphra a second time.

Thank god he’s indestructible and homicidally insane.

So do we know for sure if this dyke is coming to “Menu of Borba Fatt” or is that just this “Doomcuck” fearmongering?

 

[Midwit]

I'm officially old, out of touch, and completely disconnected from pop culture.

I don't blame you for thinking it's weird that they'd have a gang inspired by a Bri'ish youth subculture from 50 years ago in a show about a warlord in the old space west.

The second episode introduced Black Krrsantan (nicknamed Shadow the Chewbacca by posters in this thread) who is a frequent business partner of Doctor Aphra in the comics so if she doesn’t show up in this series, it’s highly likely she will appear in the future.

Crypto-shills like Doomcuck on the other hand have their head in the sand pretending that Krrsantan is a character from the Expanded Universe who’s been reintroduced to the Disney canon.

 

[Ghostse]

The "George still owning rights" is only speculation, at least as far as I have seen. One of those theories spazzes use to justify why Disney is acting retarded, while it could simply be they're just idiots, Disney and the theorists. Instead of there being a monetary motivation on character usage, it could simply be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

If someone has the contract of the LFL sale to Disney, feel free to prove me wrong.

Its likely he's got a piece of the action, but its also likely that even if Disney does own the rights they are trying to make a solid break to keep them lawsuit proof, even if there isn't a need.

When JJ make his Star Trek reboots, PAramount had license to use the copyrighted Trek vocabulary, but they didn't use it strengthen their position against any potential suits.

Something else I thought about: Thanks to disney, Copyright now lasts for a retarded life time of the creator + I think we're up to 90 years now. They are trying to get around that by ensuring Disney owns the rights to everything, and that the corporation is the creator. Disney is also possibly taking the long game on their movies to ensure they never public domain

 

[Cactuar King]

Rotta

This is the only one I have my doubts about. It seems like he's been memory holed entirely, I don't remember him showing up once after that crappy TCW movie. Which makes his existence in that even more pointless than it was before.

 

[Screamer]

I think @The Gangster Computer hit the nail on the head by comparing Blorba Fatt to the televised root canal that is Picard.
*snip*

I can see parallels with the approaches for the shows, but Picard was orders of magnitude worse. I got no enjoyment from Picard.

Picard is also an example of a show that wastes it time with characters walking around going, "what is going on?" Things happen of little to no consequence while the writers slowly drips information as to the premise of the show. Mistaking that for a story or mystery.

This is more withholding because of the stupid structure and setting up one timeline in flashbacks.

Neither are really giving you what you'd expect or want. Both are set up with this, "we aren't telling you or the characters things" instead of a story. At least there is Boba doing stuff with his own agency in this. We don't really know wtf any of it is, yet. The journey so far is at least entertaining even if underwhelming. Picard was never entertaining. I can't believe I even finished the series. I think I only did because I enjoyed channels that critiqued it.

We can see if Boba shits the bed. I honestly expect at it's wose. It'll be more of the same. Yet, I can't rule out it getting to Mando level or higher. I think it's unlikely, but this could still improve. There was never any saving Picard.

You know, contrary to many others, I actually like the design of these. It has a retromodern vibe to it. I have a childhood with Vespas & a Ricer Vespa in GTA V to admit my bias here.

That said, Vespas are fucking annoying in million ways I can list (it'll take it's own comment tho).

Fuck, it even contradicts the Zoomer Scooter Gang's "dirt poor" status. Seriously, can't get water, but have enough money for Brand Spanking New Space-Scooters & Cyberpunk Droid Mods? What the fuck?

Twitter is in an absolute mess right now over tweets like these. Its glorious sperging and fighting on a quantum level.

They keep trying to use Daxter's diner and the prequels' Coruscant vehicles as proof that vehicles on Tatooine can look ridiculous and colorful while failing to realize that Coruscant is a colorful 50s-esque New York planet (and even then its saturation isn't that high) where 50s inspired vehicles can work and they had actual skilled artists designing the PT vehicles and making them look both alien yet familiar with an actual vehicle basis while keeping them reasonably saturated, while the ones in Boba Fat just look like kitchen appliances with bike handles and look about as awful as little mopeds or the cheap vehicles from TORtanic (which twitter drones are also using to justify the shit designs despite the uglier ones being the least popular models in the game TORtanic being a fucking mess where most prefer to ride around on rancors or floating chairs).

Others have just resorted to using the 70s comics as proof of all things (despite comics are naturally over-satured and that these disney twats mocked the comics hell when it was convenient to elevate Disney).

And when all their arguments fail, they resort to the old "SPACE WIZARDS ARE SILLY AND FOR KIDS! LET ME BE A KID AND STOP DISLIKING THIS THING DESPITE THAT YOUR DISLIKE DOESN'T STOP ME FROM WATCHING!" scapegoat and flee.

View attachment 2882902

As someone who like those SWTOR Speeders, it does feel like that these Space-Vespas belong in Fallout 4 more than Star Wars.

The main issue with these is the fact that they feel too saturated. They need to be 30-40% desaturated & say something like "they were smuggled from Coruscant" or something due to these not feeling like they belong in Tatooine. Hell, I have a feeling they only got these here to make a "Mos Vespa" joke.

So do we know for sure if this dyke is coming to “Menu of Borba Fatt” or is that just this “Doomcuck” fearmongering?

Doomcuck is likely going to try and pretend she isn't or that Dave is going to steal the character and make them actually work from Kathy.

Actually, I'm reminded of something: refusing to use potential leaks while using spurious ones on 4chan makes a LOT more sense if he was employed on some level by LFL. Because if he gets the basic details wrong, then he can fool fans by just inserting a few actually right points. Hell, even if phrased negatively, it can be chalked up to last minute changes. Also the old and stale info he steals is safe, it could be wrong, or actually worse than reality, which would make the retarded hatewatchers more likely to appreciate what they got and give them false hope to care about this fake and dead franchise.

It also would make sense if actual leakers were then reported, hence why they don't go to him anymore and why he rejected vehemently any one who did walk up to him with good info. PLUS, you could then coopt other grifters by having them feed your info.

In short: my psychotic tinfoil theory that Doomcuck is a 5th columnist and actual disinfo agent hired by LFL/Disney might actually be fucking true, in the same way the fucking feds insert their own to get details, weaken opposition, breadcrumb flies to a sting, and pass info to the higher ups.

 

[Stab You in the Back]

I'm fine with the 50s cyberpunk gang because that's absolutely something George would do. And in canon you could argue that these are not poor street rats, but spoiled rich kids who blow mom and dad's money buying cyber enhancements and tricking out their vespas.

My bigger issue with the show is the amateurish writing and Boba's characterization. Boba feels like the kind of PC who makes all the Paragon choices in a Mass Effect game when he should be making Renegade choices. He talks tough, but he never does anything tough. And he survives, not by his own skill and wits, but by the sheer stupidity of his enemies. Chewba'qua had plenty of opportunities to kill this dude, but instead he throws Boba into weapon racks and then slowly walks over to him giving Boba plenty of time to pick up a (hilariously ineffective) weapon.

And Boba's declaration of war at the end is just laughable. He has what? Two pig guards, a Chinese woman, four children and a rancor he's going to ride into battle. The bad guys could wipe them out with like four guys firing from cover. I can only imagine the amount of stupid bullshit Boba is going to use to win the final battle. There's going to be some wacky and zany plan where the kids are disguised as waiters and sneak into the compound to blow something up that somehow neutralizes the pike's 100-to-1 advantage. Wowzers.

Haven't watched Book of Boba yet, the ongoing thread puts it lower on my watch list.

My only question is since the show takes place in Tatooine do I get to experience some hot Jizz? It had been decades and all I want is some wonderful Jizz to get into my ears. Hopefully Max Rebo made it out.

Boba Fett was pretty much always just a mook that wasn't particularly compelling in the movies. The entirety of his onscreen accomplishment was having his ship float in some space trash and then chasing after the Millennium Falcon to Cloud City. I guess he also fires a couple shots at Luke in a hallway too (to no avail). Vader and the military force he commanded were the ones who did everything significant in capturing Han Solo while Fett just stands there and complains. Then he gets his ass kicked in a matter of seconds and falls into a pit in Return of the Jedi. It really is surprising that so many fans latched onto the character seemingly entirely due to the fact that he had a cool looking helmet and outfit rather than anything interesting he does on film. I guess aesthetics go a very long way with people.

 

[Midwit]

that crappy TCW movie

That movie did to Jabba what The Book is doing to Boba Fett, turning them from a fearsome character to a complete buffoon who exists solely to prop up the main characters of the series whilst acting entirely out of character.

Hell, I have a feeling they only got these here to make a "Mos Vespa" joke

I'm pretty sure they were recycled from Lucas' Underworld ideas, because a gang of modded space-Mods is something I can totally see him doing.

But on that subject did anyone else feel that the watermonger was treated really weirdly? The scene where he asks Boba to stop people from stealing his inventory mainly, the way that Boba sounded somewhat incredulous when asking about people stealing water in a manner that almost feels like something from an MCU flick, and when he appears in the Mod situation with the revalation that he charges "a monfs wages for a weeks war'uh" and that the gang had stolen 1300 credits worth of war'uh (we're never told how much this actually is) so I did a little maffs and assuming that either:

1. The kids stole a weeks worth of water each
   1. The price of water is 6.63 Credits per Litre as 1300/(4*7*7)=6.63
2. The kids stole a months worth of water each
   1. The price of water is 1.55 Credits per Litre as 1300/4*30*7=1.55

Neither of which sound that outlandish on a planet with almost no water that also has no industry, no mineral wealth and isn't located on any important trade routes, especially when you take into account the cost of moving the water from the farms into the Mos Espa (as fuel costs are likely to be astronomical as well) and the wages of whatever employees he may or may not have. But that doesn't matter because 1300 credits is a big number (or maybe it won't even cover the cost of fuel these days) and Boba thinks that's bad and because of that mister watermonger only gets 500. It's a complete waste of a potentially interesting plotline.

He talks tough, but he never does anything tough.

So what does Boba actually fucking do? It feels like he just sits in his giant palace eating banquets whilst all the people in Mos Espa give him tribute in exchange for some mysterious service.

It really is surprising that so many fans latched onto the character seemingly entirely due to the fact that he had a cool looking helmet and outfit rather than anything interesting he does on film. I guess aesthetics go a very long way with people.

Did you watch the version with Wingreen's Boba or Morrison's Boba? A lot of Boba's appeal is that he's actually pretty competent and and is a man of action rather than words, admittedly he was a fucking retard in the sail barge fight but aside from that he was exactly what people portrayed him as, a no-nonsence professional bounty hunter who was very good at his job. Sure it's not particularly complex but he didn't need to be anything more than what he was.

Glad someone else can see how entirely worthless Fett's always been.

Sure it's not particularly complex but he didn't need to be anything more than what he was.

Since when? The one and only competent thing he does in the movies is be cunning enough to work out how Han hid from the Empire and work out where he's headed. That's it, he leaves all the real work to Vader and the stormtroopers, even though his job is to capture people and bring them back. He doesn't even do that, he just points to Cloud City and says to Vader "That's where they're going".
(And despite what people think, Vader telling him "No disintegrations" doesn't make him sound like a badass, it just makes him sound like a fuckup that he's the one guy who Vader has to warn not to screw-up. That and disintegrating your quarry sounds like a bad practice for a guy who has to bring back identifiable corpses at the very least)
