Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

Chris Mclean said:
You know thinking about the Kenobi show, a guy has to wonder it seems like Disney was hedging a lot of their bets on Kenobi being a hit.. So why is the continute so shockingly bad? Like Disney has got to have atleast a person the director could ask about star wars lore right?

Oh... ooooooh. Yeah that makes a lot more sense now actually...

Called it. Also a reminder that the show was originally going to be more about Ben and Luke bonding and even adapt the original Kenobi novel but Filoni and Kennedy didn't want the showrunners "copying" his precious Dadalorian.

According to sources, Chow showed the scripts to Star Wars stewards Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau, who were coming off the success of The Mandalorian, freshly launched in November 2019, and deep into work on season two.

Sources note that Filoni and Favreau were concerned about Obi-Wan covering similar ground as Mandalorian — the Lone Wolf and Cub-like story of Kenobi coming out of hiding to protect a child-aged Luke Skywalker.

Maul was one of the villains who would participate in the hunt for the pair; Vader was nowhere to be found in this faraway galaxy at this stage, according to those with knowledge of the project. Also, Filoni and Favreau pushed Chow and the show to “go bigger,” according to several sources. In any case, those concerns made their way to Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy, who pressed the pause button. (Joby Harold was eventually hired as the show’s new writer.)

So because one-trick-pony-Filoni did his stupid fucking Lone Wolf and Cub ripoff thing for the 17th time and it just so happened to be massively successful, they decided to break canon so it wouldn't step on his precious OCs? Favreau and Filoni actively made the show worse then told Kathleen who demanded the show be changed. And the fans love it.

Holy shit this franchise is a joke.
(this isn't to say the show would have been suddenly good if they went with the original plan, but this decision made it slightly worse and less consistent with the OT)

"laughed at like an amateur"

I *am* an amateur. So is most of the fandom, especially the people I engage with and do SW tabletops with. Your taste in EU makes me question your viability as a human being, but my taste in EU, my preference for the fleet battles you don't care about, makes you consider me as a freeway hobo. I'm willing to set it aside. I don't like the terrible garbage you enjoy, you think the mindless filler I like is the highest tier of trash. Can we at least both meet in the middle and join hands in making fun of current Disneywars? At the very least can we unify as EU fans?

This is the key, I think. There's so much EU that anyone can find what they like and discount the rest, and that's ok. Nothing we like is actually canon anymore, according to the current rights holders! I really like Star Wars' attempt at doing MASH, so it isn't like I hate the entire output of the post-publisher swap. That has to count for something.

And more orange waifu milking but this time as Baby Ahsoka despite that there's no purpose she can serve, and she somehow exists during Dooku's youth because you know they want to make her into the next baby Yoda.

Dave, the retard that he is, doesn't know and doesn't care that Dooku as a young man would mean she'd not even be born given she's like, what? Ten or so years younger than Anakin? Hell, Dooku could be even older too if you abuse the same bullshittery Dave uses to lie about why some characters who should legally be dead due to senescence are still walking around.

It's telling he's going with the magical ancient loli idea that degenerates use to excuse themselves. Maybe he does have a collection that'd get him in trouble or something stored on his computer.

I'm personally expecting time travel shenanigans involving her soon... Remember, she now owns the goddess owl that was in charge of the time anus and who was the one that activated the portal so space Aladdin could save her, and Furloni confirmed that the same owl was the one seen near her in Dadalorian.

I wouldn't be surprised if they try to add her to the High Republic stuff soon too.

Sometimes I wonder if Filoni has some blow up sex doll of Ahsoka because the man can’t stop jerking her off.

Lol look at dis nigga, thinking Filoni only has ONE blow up sex doll
Also, at Filoni's levels of both income and fanboi, he's probably got at least one Ahsoka real doll.

Following @Mississippi Motorboater 's post-Endor novel list, I've been making my way through the Bantam era, admittedly at a snail's pace due to limited time.

The biggest standouts were, of course, the Thrawn Trilogy and Duology, though they had some issues of their own, imo. Visions of the Future in particular seemed quite rushed towards the end, and I didn't like the twist about Tierce being a clone of Thrawn.
Being a fan of Crimson Empire, I'm admittedly a bit biased towards Imperial Guards, who with their limited Force training were an awesome idea that Disney dumbfoundingly ignored in favor of their dumb looking, cookie-cutter Inquisitors.

Speaking of Bantam-era cool ideas, I wish we would've seen more of Kud'ar Mub'at 's species. Spider alien, bounty middleman, floating through space in a web cocoon, detachable limbs with various degrees of autonomy, what's not to love? That's what I'd call imaginative, which nothing Disney has done with this franchise in almost a decade would qualify as.

Now I'm at Young Jedi Knights with my reading and as soon as that's done I'll be finally diving into NJO.

Yeah, lots of stuff from the Bounty Hunter trilogy never really came up again even though there was a lot of pretty creative and original stuff in there. Like Kuat being at odds with Black Sun and its politics in general, D'Harhan and his laser head, the Shell Hutts, and the Assembler of course. Cradossk too could've used more stories of his own, have him back in his prime competing with Jango for the title of best bounty hunter in the galaxy. The Bantam era was fun. That's probably the best word for the whole 90's era of the Star Wars EU, swashbuckling fun with the occasional big threat from the Empire. Pretty much right after that trilogy ended, the NJO started.

I know that's how babies look but gee whiz look at that forehead. Looks less like an infant and more that like a cheap porcelain doll that you'll find at one of those flea market.

I appreciate your literary autism, @Mississippi Motorboater.

I've defended NJO before, but my god was it a failure at introducing the next generation of heroes. Turning Anakin Solo into a teenage superchad who as perfect at everything and had all the ladies dropping their panties while Jacen was a loser nerd putzing around with his glass snake was a successful case of subverting expectations imo, but they dropped the ball hard by letting that tard Troy Denning immediately turn Jacen into a villain. Nigga didn't even get a single book where he was a true good guy. Even in the NJO everyone was giving him shit, first for not being a chad like Anakin, then because he was too chad and being mean to the Vong.

Yeah I wish. Though the prop would be the burnt Vader mask and I'm not a faggot like Kylo.

Did JJ really steal that stuff or did LucasFilm just let him have it because they wanted the past to die and were ready to kill it if they had to? crystal fox
