I can't seem to recall that. They did make several other OT and EU characters gay or implied them to be gay, including Lando and Tarkin and every trooper on the Death Star because diversity quotas and whatnot, even when the source is dumb as hell.
As far as I can remember about 4-LOM and Zuckuss, Disney hasn't used them at all, they only use them as antagonists in all their kiddie LEGO spinoffs. Outside of that, they've only appeared in like two comics, one from nuVader's and one from Aphra comics, and the only notable thing from them that anyone talks about was seeing Zuckuss topless which apparently a lot of weirdos and bug-furfags on reddit were into.
That and their Aphra role completely retconned their original character development from pre-Disney in its entirety and it ended with Disney having them unceremoniously killed off by one of their gay little knockoff OCs from The Farce Engorges since everything gets replaced by some faggot from the disequels.
Oh, and for the first 2 or so years of their ownership of the brand, Disney mixed up their names which shows just how much dedication they put into their supposedly "more consistent canon" from the get-go.
You mean from Tales of the Bounty Hunter? That's less of a tranny thing and more of the "robot has an existential crisis after realizing he's not really 'alive'" you see in scifi so often (the Bicentennial Man movie was probably the only one that comes to mind which had a blatant otherkin/tranny parallel, all others just seem to address the topic of existentialism and mortality, which would greatly torment an AI that was limited by what its organic creators gifted it with). Regardless, it ultimately ends tragically with 4-LOM's destruction after trying to save his comrade, and when he's rebuilt by Zuckuss, his memory gets rebooted to a previous backup from prior to his existential crisis, making 4-LOM go back to being an emotionless killer, which makes Zuckuss realize that his friend really is nothing more than a soulless machine and both parted ways. A shame this was abandoned really since both had some actual character development before Disney regulated them to LEGO villains.
Anyway, Happy Real Star Wars Day everyone.
Technically the day the franchise first officially started was November 12, 1976, but whatever.

A New Hope was the kick to the balls America and cinema needed.
America had been through a turbulent era of civil unrest, political corruption, and demoralizing wars, and along came a little film with a giant hairy monkey and weirdos reigniting America’s hope for the future.

The leaks plus the kathy shit AND the fact Lucasfilms is already saying for the she boom to expect "wazist" comments is extremely fucking telling.
I legit think they expect Kenobi to probably be a disaster and fans to hate it...leading to the media throwing its usual insults and jabs at the toxic fans.
Like She Hulk says "is there anything worse than being a Star Wars fan under Disney?"....well, I think she said that, I only watched the trailer once.
You know, this makes me recall a conversation I had with a close friend while I was at his place and playing the Lego Skywalker saga game (he bought it, I didnt, I never give Disney a dime). I dont really care for lego games (I think they are fun but pretty repetitive and mostly for children...but I digress). While we were playing, I brought up that Hayden being brought to the Kenobi series was kind of fucking pointless.
He asked me what I meant with that. I said
"Think about it, when we see Vader, its obviously going to be Earl Jones doing his usual voice, we can be told that it is Hayden in the suit but it could honestly be anyone in that fucking thing and we would have to take their word for it that its him. The only way they could use him 'properly' is if we either have flashbacks, which we maybe have only one or two, big maybe there. And then there is when Vader's helmet gets damaged and we see Anakin underneath it. But you see, my personal problem with that is that its kind of an overused trope with Vader...his helmet falling off and revealing his face. Its never as strikeful as it was in RoTJ since then it was a surprise to see that this powerful dark lord of the sith was just a pathetic pale suffering sad old man. Then this began to happen all over in books, comics, games and cartoon shows. So they will obviously do it in the Kenobi series to prove that it IS Hayden inside, they are forced to in this case. So Hayden being in this series is nothing but a marketing gimmick that wont be paid off much."
He kind of "defended" Disney by saying that its obvious that it is a marketing gimmick but I replied that Disney makes it seem like Hayden will be a big presence so it feels like false marketing. He kind of ended the subject by saying he is still willing to give it a chance and see what they do with it.
I just shrugged and kept shocking Vader with R2-D2 during the cloud city match...it was hilariously stupid.

Happy Real Star Wars Day and Happy 45th to one of my favorite movies ever.
may the fourth can fuck off
Unfortunately Lucasfilm is ran by a bunch of overtly political assholes who hate their retarded fanbase and make intentionally divisive, nostalgia pandering, uncreative, cynical, deconstructionist parodies of whatever Star Wars used to be in order to sell Disney+ subscriptions and toys nobody wants. In short it's the exact opposite of Star Wars. It has more in common with the depressing sorts of films coming out in the 70s (NOT the good movies mind you and I love the New Hollywood era).
Doomcuck's back by the way
And WB gotJewed JJ'd article here
They gave this motherfucker $250 million to develop projects for them with Bad Robot and he hasn't made them SHIT. He took the money and ran, just like with TFA.

This is why the sequels were such Disney's movies have been such a baffling and pointless waste of time. This decade feels like a rehash of the 1970s. The economy is shit, we were forced inside for 2 years, and we're more divided now culturally and politically than we've ever been for a variety of reasons. We could have used an escapist science fantasy movie like Star Wars to bring everyone together. The whole point was to harken back to fun movie serials from decades past.

I started to read the novelisation of Rogue One because I saw the book at a supermarket and wanted to see how Disney novels are these days, and because Rogue One was the best of the Disney movies. Written by Alexander Freed, and it's actually good so far. I mean, it's a novelisation, so it's not like the author could fuck up the story too much, but the prose is decent, and it captures the Star Wars feel quite well.

We are in a situation just like that but too bad that we can't have a film made with the same mindset that made A New Hope today.

I'd say we are in a worse shape now. The two sides cannot even agree on basic reality anymore, not to mention mainstream news publications discussing the possibility of a second Civil War and right after the election you had one side of the aisle completely lose faith in the system and essentially call for Trump to cross the Rubicon like Caesar. Stuff like that wasn't going on in the 70's and ANY film with the themes of Episode IV being made today would just get intertwined with the political and culture war going on.

I think our situation is even worse if you can believe it. A New Hope blew people away for how imaginative and grand it was for what the late 70's could do. In a way it was the perfect escapism they all needed.
Problem is, what made A New Hope stunning for its time just cant be replicated nowadays. Effects? All CG shit nowadays. Risks? Mega-corporations play more safe that they have in decades. Imagination? *chuckle* good one. Hope and positivity? Yeah, right. We are literally fighting for the rights to have the freedom to abort fetuses but not what to inject to one's body.
Besides, it seems like everything nowadays is made with toys in mind. Sure, that shit comes later but there isnt the creative thrive to show your story and universe to the world at large anymore, at least not among the higher ups.
Honestly, it did help that the main bad, the empire, were just basically space nazis. It was easy to make everyone on the political spectrum to cheer for them to lose.
Its difficult to not project your political enemies onto fictional villains anymore.

The Kenobi series may have tested poorly so it's time to kick up a little sand to obscure the reaction...but this also seems like something studios do now habitually, because they can only think in those terms, and they believe it will net them some sympathy (it definitely doesn't seem to help, as turkeys like the Ghostbusters and Charlie's Angels reboots attest).

It is finally here, the most awaited pop culture event since Morbius.
And it looks exactly like you would expect. Bland, generic sci fi with a "dark" tone that will probably get everyone bored by the end of the first episode. The only good things I can say about it is that the production value seems OK and that the clone troopers look nice now that they aren't done entirely through CGI.
Also, they announced a new Star Wars show named Skeleton Crew. It is going to star Jude Law in it, and it will be about some kids trying to find their way home (???). Set in the Mandalorian era, because of course. They need to run that particular cow dry after all. You'd think that with all these shows taking place within the same timeframe, the best idea would be to make one show with a larger scope with multiple plotlines going on throughout all the galaxy and eventually tying together into a single, big epic. Like, use that high budget for something, give us some Game of Thrones Seasons 1 to 4 level shit. But nooooo, we are stuck with these low stakes, bland and forgettable shows. This is the state of Star Wars in 2022, there is no quality, no direction, and no hope.

They have finally released a trailer for Caspian Border or whatever the lispy spic's name was from Rogue One. It's another #Resist story with cheap Imperial costumes and weapon props.
