Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Kiwi Lime Pie]

Just out of curiosity what was everyone’s general consensus on Rogue One? We all know the sequels were almost all considered to be poorly mismanaged, unimaginative and soulless messes that screwed up The series for virtually everyone. But Rogue stands out honestly as being really overlooked and honestly not bad in its own right. The whole concept of retelling the original saga from a different narrative angle with entirely new characters was really fresh and original. All the characters were likeable and memorable and providing classic scenes rendered in modern special effects filled my nostalgia quota way more than any of the other sequels did. It’s honestly the best film out of all the Disney Star Wars films to date. Don’t know how controversial that is but it’s what I feel.

I didn't watch Rogue One but people I know that did didn't gush over it like the blindly-devoted consumers have. At best, the one person who had the most positive feedback about the movie found it so-so.

Telling an established story from a different/new angle or character can be a good thing if done right. Given Disney's track record with the franchise, I'm not optimistic about how they handled Rogue One. The fact that many consider RO the best Disney movie is telling in and of itself.

Honestly though I feel these anthology type movies would work better if they didn't have characters from the OT play prominent roles which is one of the many issues I had with Solo

I agree, especially with key OT characters being unknown or staying in seclusion for very good reasons. As stated numerous times, though, Disney cares not about backstories or previously established facts/canon and does whatever it feels like to the point it makes Lucas-era characters seem out of character in the original films/works.

I will say this. The ideas/concepts actually had potential. The execution was terrible.

The TL; DR version of anything Disney Wars.
Edited for spelling and clarity.

No, but there was some embarrassing looking parkour.

Must have been a sale at da weave store.

I feel like Grogu is a concept, an idea to hook people for Mando. But there is clear no long term plan, without mentioning that we know that Grogu will either die or disappear at some point since it doesnt make any sense for him to not appear at any point in the sequel trilogy if thats the case.

Some people say that he will take over the order when he is old enough, probably after MaRey Sue kicks the bucket but I dont buy it.

I wonder if there was some order from executives to bring him back to Mando and not be written out.

The whole, "bye Grogu, go find your destiny." Then for another Series to come back and go, "Nah." Is the kind of decision making that seems like it is not coming from confident creatives but from non-creative executives looking at spreadsheets.

They will never be able to evolve the character. It's a cute concept that a 50 year old yoda is still a baby, but what, when does he get to speak? This is why I say the character is retarded as the only explanation.

Why were the Jedi teaching what is the equivalent of a human 1 year old? Unless he's brain-damaged after the fact.

Let's be generous and say 2 year old. Then what, Yoda was the equivalent of an 18-year-old human?

The whole, "bye Grogu, go find your destiny." Then for another Series to come back and go, "Nah." Is the kind of decision making that seems like it is not coming from confident creatives but from non-creative executives looking at spreadsheets.

In retrospect, it does seem like these decisions were made to cater to people but in a micro way. The brought Luke in season 2 to please people angry at the character's treatment, then they used The Book of Boba Fett to move him back into The Mandalorian to save from using digiLuke more and because of the sequel trilogy and because of the dwindling marketing potential for these characters.

It's so ephemeral. Like one journalist said, it's on auto-pilot.

Reva knows Anakin is Vader and is the one to tell Obi-Wan. Fuck this show.

Fucking hell. From what I've learned, anyone who knows Vader is Anakin or has seen his unmasked face, will end up getting outright killed under his lightsaber. It's hell that for some reason Reva told Obi-wan how Anakin is still alive, she'd be done for sure. That really break what really happen when one knows Vader's truth.

I'm willing to guess Todd like The Last Jedi and was pissed off when TROS shat on it (note: I am not saying any of the sequels are good),

"There's one, set for stun!" comes to mind.

You know what boils my blood? That I know for a fact that Kawaii Leia will turn into Lady Lyanna Mormont by the end of the series because Disney will want to milk that horseshit character's insane popularity.

I'm sorry, back the fuck up. I was told that the Strong Independent Inquisitor Who Don't Need No Moff™ straight up kills the Grand Inquisitor. I didn't believe it, and then I saw the screen cap and official articles for myself.

How the fuck is this even possible? This motherfucker is supposed to die five years later in the finale of Star Wars Rebels:

​

Which means one of two things: either the retards writing this show have zero clue about the continuity, and just retconned an entire season of a canon cartoon series (which I hope to God is the case, as no one deserves this treatment moment more than Dave Filoni, who has recklessly retconned other people's work repeatedly to prioritize his stupid-ass OC's), or even worse, this guy will have been gutted by a lightsaber and some how brought back to life to reprise his role as antagonist in Rebels, which almost certainly involve even more lore-breaking to explain how the Sith Inquisitors can cheat death...despite TROS making it a big deal that only Palpatine can do it, and with incredibly contrived limitations like needing to leech off of a Force Dyad.

This fucking series is two episodes in, and it's already broken more than Blando and Book of Blorba Fatt did combined.

Live tweeting of the episode. And that Leia chase idle fucking stupid.

Trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor came out today.

Who is the guy in the bacta tank?

How the fuck is this even possible? This motherfucker is supposed to die five years later in the finale of Star Wars Rebels:

Some people said that the Grand Inquisitor who died was the other guy's brother. It's retarded but I wouldn't be surprised if they went that way, turning the whole Sith Inquisitor concept into a more retarded one.

That's wrong though. The Last Stand is for sure a mediocre movie but it's still fun capeshit.

This scene alone ended up being more memorable than anything in the sequel trilogy. Also X-Men: Days of Future Past serves as a sequel to Singer's X-Men continuity and ended up being a better bombastic capeshit crossover event than the first two Avengers Sequels.

Yes it all fizzled out after Days of Future Past with "Logan" serving as a final swan song for Fox's X-Men Universe. But it was still a wildly successful project that held up for nearly 2 decades. And during the 2010s Marvel/Disney was openly neglecting the X-Men property because they weren't making enough money off a "rival" film series. Seriously it was a weird decade for X-Men where Disney was purposely not making merchandise for X-Men and quite infamously had Marvel do the barest of minimum in the comics because they wanted Fox to fail. Also see the infamous Marvel vs Capcom Infinite where they made Capcom remove all of the X-Men despite that game series literally being born out of an X-Men fighting game.

When I look back at the X-Men franchise I see a studio that ended up putting faith in a few talented people (Bryan Singer, Matthew Vaughn, and James Mangold) and delivering some good entertainment. They had failures, any project of this magnitude will but the good stuff is well remembered. With Disney Wars I see that they turned Star Wars into a entertainment sweatshop that can't just stop pumping out product. The second they finally got something that worked (The Mandalorian Season 1) they decided to just go fucking nuts and pump out TV Shows harder than I can even bother to keep track of.

Oh that?

Dave doesn't give a fuck and uses cybernetics or other horseshit to explain away death whenever he feels like bringing a character back. He'll probably just go "Oh yeah he survived it and got a robo-spine" before commissioning heinous pornography.

This is why you try to put minimal brain in a project. Minimal brain allows you to actually enjoy your work and keep shit strait.

The inquisitors aren't that great for villain material. Their design is very plain, unremarkable, and while the uniform makes sense from being space Gestapo, they just blend into each other with no distinct characteristics. And another reason, they are specifically trained as a joke squad by Sheev and Vader. They're just assholes with lightsabers, even weaker than the average Sith grunt from the old Republic.

 

[Uncle Paul]

I like all the focus on Leia.

Maybe the Grand Inquisitor from Kenobi and the one from Rebels are two different characters despite sharing the same background? If that is not the case then I put more thought into the continuity then the current star wars writers.

Spoiler

(I'm not calling you a pedo, it's just a dumb joke)

Speaking of Leia, I know exactly what the fuck that scene of her running in the forest reminded me of:

I miss when Star Wars was just six movies, the 2D Clone Wars, some great video games and some fun reading.

I also miss the year 2005. I'm pretty sure Filoni Wars was announced immediately after ROTS came out because it's something George had wanted to do the entire time.

 

[Godzilla@1989]

Having little Leia is a retarded idea both as a character and as a plot device.

She and Reva are the show’s most annoying characters. That little brat has no reason to be in this and she is just there to irritate the hell out of Obi Wan. Now I see why Obi Wan wanted to train Luke over Leia.

Also, should little Leia raise eyebrows for Palpatine? He straight up to Anakin that as he killed Padme, he also killed his children with her and now she would lead to big consequences for him and Anakin. Anakin was basically lied to by Palpatine and now he’s going to find out he has a daughter.

Padme was Palpatine’s greatest political threat and it took her fuck buddy’s paranoid freak outs over a silly nightmare to help him get a advantage over her.

EDIT: At least Anakin in TPM has a legitimate excuse to be in it despite having fuck all to do with the movie.

Nah. The Last Stand was fun. It was goofy as shit, but I actually enjoyed it. It was a live action cartoon.

Obi-Wan though? Fuck this disaster piece with a rusty pipe.

Honestly, I think that’s the harshest criticism you can give to how Disney has handled Star Wars.
