Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[The Bovinian Derivative]

Entertainment refuses to kill things after a season now since they see it as taking an L. they already ignore their income so this doesn't surprise me.

Might be off-topic but I've been wondering about this lately: how the hell does any of this work? These shows have to cost a minor fortune and they just piss it all away. I know the term 'Hollywood Accounting', but someone has to suck up all the losses down the line.

 

[Doctor of Autism]

They’ve said that Taika Waititi’s untitled Star Wars film is coming late 2023.

I like Taika Waititi,but as Disney wars has shown us, they have little respect for every director or storyteller that isn't the autistic wolf fucker.

Also Bad Batch Season 2 is ass, the fact it looks to retain the worst elements from season 1 and have new dumb shit like wookies with lightsabers really says a lot.

This all would've been prevented if the directors that Lucas wanted for the Prequels took his offer.

 

[UselessPieceOfShit]

I have no intention of watching the Kenobi series but unironically I’m pleased to see Hayden Christensen get a paycheck. Can’t act but seems like a nice bloke and he didn‘t deserve the blame for the state of the prequels.

Tangentially, Daisy Ridley doesn’t seem to work that much these days, does she?

Watch it. No, srsly. It's this kind of so bad, it's good show. My favourite part was when this black chick starts screaming some shit at the top of her lungs, stammers, and repeats her line again. This is hilarious. They actually shooted this scene and thought "hmmmm, yes, it will do".

 

[The handsome tard]

Do they clap and screech for every new frame that comes into view? Because holy fuck those people are unbelievably obnoxious. I never understood that level of fandom to be honest. But I guess for Disney these are the people that'll keep swallowing the shit they are shovelling down their throat, show after show, movie after movie.

Most of these are filled with paid actors and people who have never dared to criticise Disney's Star Wars (why you think there are critics out there that dont dare give their products a negative review? They want to be invited to events and shit!). Disney is aware of who they allow into these rooms and they are motivated to cheer and clap as loud as possible.

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.

I already explained that people dont seem to truly grasp how much the sequel trilogy (hell, Disney's treatment of the series as a whole but TLJ was the true turning point) has damaged the brand. I think The Rise of Skywalker and Solo were the signs that Disney destroyed what made this franchise so special to the common man because they werent eating that shit up anymore. It also doesnt help the grotestically awful treatment of the veteran fans.

They may not act like it but they do notice these things. Movies are a huge investment that require at least a return significantly bigger to justify to doing so. They know The Rise of Skywalker crawled to the 1 billion mark and its a literal half cut over what TFA made. They can see the writing on the wall.

Series are low risk stuff so thats what Disney is comfortable doing now. They arent producing the money they thought they would be doing so they would rather just stick with safe shit for the time being.

Me 3 months ago:

Its...frightening how well you predicted it.
Not because you are a fucking prophet but because it all became just so...cyclical, hasnt it?

Kind of depressing, ngl

I'd rather not watch it. It looks boring and completely unnecessary.

Disney destroyed Star Wars by buying it. They were putting out low quality products from day one but it took until TLJ for the fans to actually notice. By then it was far too late. All they had to do was ruin Luke.

They know The Rise of Skywalker crawled to the 1 billion mark and its a literal half cut over what TFA made.

It still made a billion too goddamn much.

 

[Ensok]

Alright, as far as the Kotor mission planets go, I think I'm ready to give my final opinion on them:

Onderon/Dxun > Nar Shaddaa > Korriban (1) > Manaan > Dantooine (2) > Tatooine > Kashyyyk > Korriban (2)

There is a massive gap between the top 4 and bottom 4. Also I swear to god Kashyyyk hasn't always been spelled that way.

 

[The Nothingness]

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.

Even in a sci-fi fantasy series like Star Wars, Hollywood falls back on two rifles: the AK-47 and the AR-15. No wonder those always come to mind when the general public thinks of "assault weapons".

It's mainly the back-end employees who eat shit, given writers and the CGI slaves are funneled out to the cheapest retard out there. Ideally one that takes coupons as payments. After them, it'd be investors who will likely eat shit, since from what I see it works like this:

1. Blow the money that the investors gave you into incompetent and lazy retarded shit using the cheapest shit possible
2. Bribe the media with the money they gave you for the ads they pay for to defend your lazy retarded shit.
3. Use crayon eating retards like MovieBlob and other consoomers as free publicity and CorpSec
3a. Insert a gay into the work, because Gays are the most retarded consoomer of all. They will literally fling money at rainbow colored shit because they are that insecure.
4. Expect and hope that retards pay for your shit to consoom to provide liquidity that you don't actually have due to you ignoring realpeople economy.
5. Insult the audience if they do not save your shitty and retarded project; ensure you take on debt to make a part 2 or a second season to save face and spite them.
5b. Try to figure out how to abuse the rights you own as a company to make retarded scam shit to keep your scam going.
6. Take on debt and use internal assets like royalties and sales of merchandise to stem the bloodloss.
7. Lie to investors using cooked audits to pretend you aren't eating shit.
8. Keep cranking out enough shit at once to make the moocows not panic and pull.

I legit believe that modern entertainment is currently working on Ponzi Scheme Logic to prevent their instant bankruptcy.

It's either that or Nerf guns like the sequels

 

[Uncle Paul]

As well as a Disney Junior series set during The High Republic

How young are the younglings gonna be?

They even added a second stock on the one they used in Rise of Skywalker.

Checked around and I didn't see this posted. Worry not, frens, it's a fan interpretation of an original EU scene.

Just thought we could do with watching something fun to rekindle the fond memories.

I saw that one yesterday, didn't think much of it. All those capital ships right above the skyline, going to hyperspace in atmosphere, why the Rebels need to take out the planetary shields when they already have a bunch of ships there already, why the Imps immediately bug out when that happens. To me, it's all flash and no substance. I don't think it's supposed to be the EU's fall of Coruscant, it just happens to have the Lusankya.

 

[Open Window Maniac]

Star Wars reminds me of the 76ers, because neither franchise has been worth a damn since 1983. Hearing anything about anyone looking forward to a Star Wars thing in current year reminds me of the cope mantra "Trust the Process" the 76ers came up with to trick fans into thinking the team has any sort of winning potential and would get better at some unspecified point in the future.

I mostly agree with you. Would have liked to see more dogfighting, but it was nice to see a Star Wars fan film that didn't have Disney shit or lightsabers anywhere.

I think the Imps really did bug out when Lusankya broke out in the novels, but it's been over twenty years since I've read that one, so my memory may be off.

I think you're right, but I'm pretty sure the dogfighting bits in that book were a lot more thought out. Still, It's admitteldy more of a breath of fresh air compared to the usual Disney stuff.

Having just watched Top Gun Maverick I'm a little ashamed to admit I'd readily paypig if Joseph Kosinski made a Rogue Squadron movie with Tom Cruise and he took over most of it to be his ego project, it'd be a damn sight better than whatever the hell the mouse and Patty Jenkins are going to turn out.

Spoiler

you can't bruise the Cruise

Hell, I'd pay top dollar, lather a bucket of popcorn with enough butter keep a midwestern farm in business, and watch it.

Seriously, Cruise may be a bit psycho, but it usually works out to a good movie. Especially given the people at Lucasfilm and Disney are either sociopaths, retarded, Jewish, autistic, or any combination of the above. It's a step above.

Remember, there used to be really fun Star Wars video games.

[LazloChalos]

I am still a bit groggy from a nap I took but ths came to me as I was waking.

The original trilogy, movie-wise, had only Obi and Yoda as the last Jedi.

As time marched on more stories came about that there were more, and more, and more jedi survivors.

The last few years just keep adding to the survivor count.

So in the end, we have a secretive group that follows a religion which elevates them above others, and while they present themselves as the voice of reason they have their fingers in the military, government and economies. They have no qualms on "advising" military action and even send their own operatives in clandestine missions to deal with problems and break laws in order to achieve their goals.

This group was eventually targeted by the government, and the story presented (by the jedi) is that they were exterminated, yet evidence continues to present itself that the "extermination" was wildly exaggerated.

Am I getting this right?
