Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

When they successfully escaped Naboo and R2D2 is brought in front of the Queen Amidala decoy by Captain Panaka and is thanked for its bravery. She orders Padme to clean it.

As for your thoughts on nostalgia. The only silver lining I see in this is that they will finally start making proper sequels for long-running 80's horror franchises with silent masked killers or monsters again instead of remaking them. Hollywood loves established franchises because promotion costs a fraction. The two new Halloween films weren't to my liking but Friday the 13th needs a winter sequel badly. Jason went to NYC, to space and to hell but hasn't impaled some teen with a ski pole yet? Absolutely barbaric! I could go for a new Gremlins film as well since Critters has a series. They could make a sequel to any standalone cult horror film as well. Most of the hillbilly horror films can be continued instead of raping Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the umpteenth time...

The timing has been mentioned because of the recent mass school shooting but it didn't stop some from going to the "I was only pretending to be retarded" route when initial tweet didn't go their way.

It just doesn't end, does it? Consoomers will continue to eat it up, but I gotta feel like there's a chunk of the public that's just meh on the inundation of Disney Wars crap. They literally can't go a week without launching yet another show or another season of an existing one. It seems all Disney knows how to do is stumble into something successful and then beat that dead horse into a pulp.

In other news, I decided to take another look at the Star Wars hotel bookings to see how well that's doing. Here's what it looked like in mid-April, and here's the current calendar:
1653856642954.png
Not a lot of change from last time. Everything through the first week of August is booked solid, but after that, only five other dates are blacked out. I'm not surprised that summer's still pretty much booked, but I continue to find it interesting that the rest of the year is still pretty vacant. Again, this is just a binary fully/not fully booked and doesn't list how many are reserved on other days, so take that into consideration when viewing this calendar.

Given the state of the economy and the increasingly egregious pricing for Disney parks, opening this hotel was probably not the best of ideas. They're also not likely to get many return visitors outside of the most soy-filled; there's really no point in doing it more than once since you're not getting a very different experience, as opposed to theme parks in general, where the thrill of the rides makes you want to go back over and over again. It's the difference between a dinner show and a roller coaster, quite literally. I guess we'll see how it plays out in the long-term.

You wanna know whats even funnier? In ROTS Kenobi learns that Anakin is Darth Vader after watching the securtiy footage and seeing Palpatine knighting Vader. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S0CE9yAjWs 50 seconds in.

"You have done well my new apprentice now Lord Vader"

So its obvious that the show writes couldn't give a enough of a fuck to watch the 3 movies this show is a sequel to. But what's even funnier is that they show part of this scene in the recap of Obi-wans life at the start of episode 1.

Disney all i excepted from this show was member berries and you can't even do that right. Just call up George and admit you were wrong. Cause even with all of the jew gold in hollywood you can't stop yourself from writing as cringy dialouge as him and what's even worse is that you can't even make a basic storyline without fucking up the basics.

Well, this point was made, and I don’t want to be that guy, but based on how the scene went, he was shocked when Vader was discovered to be alive, and then Anakin was mentioned afterwards. I think now that this isn’t an issue of whether he knew Anakin was Vader or not, but why Obi-Wan didn’t know that Vader was alive. Throughout Star Wars, Jedi and Sith always were able to sense each other from varying distances, from my understanding. I’ve been reading from ScreenRant and other places that Obi-Wan repressed his force abilities in order to keep from hiding, but that point seems odd considering that there was a other force users on Tatooine who use their Jedi powers, and it seems like they’re just making their own head canon. Correct me if I’m wrong here.

The Disney parks are obsessed with squeezing the most amount of money out of their customers for the lowest cost on their end possible. Too bad we're living in a rehash of the 70s right now and people don't have the money for gas or plane tickets to travel like they used to so building it was a complete waste of time.

It seems to me that Screen Rant is just making their own head canon since Obi-Wan whipped out the mind trick and his lightsaber at the cantina in ANH. Of course, they would probably say that since Kenobi was leaving Tatooine he didn't have to hide he was a Jedi.

I thought the reception of that was bad enough so they'd let them die in a corner somewhere, alone and forgotten. Goddamnit that show was bad. I didn't mind them popping up in Clone Wars that much, so I figured, let's give it a fair bash. I think I stuck around for 2 episodes and I was out.

After watching the second episode of Kenobi, who worked on this and unironically thought: "We made some fine entertainment here for the folks"?

Can't we just be honest and say that all these 1 hour TV shows are just bad movies but with loads of filler?

Besides Kenobi looking very cheap and flimsy in places, this really bothers me.

This fake-desaturated 'realist Star Wars' grim-ish reimagining thing really sucks.

The originals (and the prequels, though they go their own direction) have a very specific industrial design language that none of the Disney iterations have managed to find. I also find this obnoxious, this recurring trend in wardrobe, "freedom fighter chic" where they dress the resistance/rebel/guerilla faction in various degrees of brown overcoat "because that's how grounded gritty resistance fighters dress",

Plus, part of the aesthetic, one small part but still a part of the original series were how many of the weapons were older model "real" weapons fitted with enough bits and pieces to make them look sort of futuristic - Han Solo's Mauser based blaster, the Sterling submachine gun based EE-11 blasters of the Stormtroopers, at least The Mandalorian went with that style of design for weaponry too. Outfiting characters in a Star Wars project with these AKs with very minor modifications comes off as lazy and low-effort, and just a small aspect of the chintziess of this show.

Disney announced seventy billion different projects but not a single new movie. Has Disney screwed Star Wars so badly that it's just stuck in the direct to streaming ghetto forever? Once you give away something for free, it's very difficult to ever charge people money for it again. People have grown accustomed to Star Wars on cheap streaming services. Getting people to pay for it at the theater again seems impossible.

Sure all these projects help pad out Disney+, but eventually these 150 million dollar projects are going to be more work than they're worth. A lot of these projects, like the Boba Fett and Obi Wan spinoffs, started off as conceptually as movies and still would have been made into movies if Solo hadn't flopped epicly. So instead they just get the lame TV treatment. Disney Star Wars is like that one star quarterback who could have been a star player in the NFL, but because of a DUI is now just playing at the minor leagues for the rest of his career. What could have been.
