instead you give money to Rat for Current Thing made by people who hate the property and you.

Huh?

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter

The idea of that game is better than the actual gameplay, from what I recall. It would definitely benefit from a modern redo with some open world elements.

 

[jspit2.0]

If you got another episodic sci fi show about bounty hunting to recommend me I'd be happy to watch it. On the grand totem pole of things cowboy beebop is better, but there isn't much competition on the genre right now.

Unless S3 is different, there isn't any real bounty hunting. I would love an actual bounty hunter in space show. But Mando, unless something changed isn't it.

Boba Fett should have been great, it wasn't. I just know I can't stand another second of characters that are hardened killers droning on about respect with oversized CG Fraggle Rock rejects.

Graphics are aged, but gameplay wise its not terrible.

 

[LORD IMPERATOR]

It's so funny how inept the good guy faction is in both the Bad Batch and the Mandalorian. That New Republic ranger didn't need to go all the way to Coruscant to beg for help; all he'd need is two more starfighters and maybe a small squad of soldiers. Three X-Wings ought to be enough to take down that pirate frigate and its snub fighter escort, and any professional military squad can clear out the pirates from the town, especially given that most of the townsfolk have left. He didn't even need to say that they're going off to help; he can just excuse it to the NR as "LOL we're just off to get some burgers" and once Nevarro is freed, they can pressure the high magistrate to join the New Republic, and Coruscant's government would be happy that they added another planet to its sphere of influence.

Then we have BB, where Saw can't even plan an assassination right. Yes, Saw, bombing a few places in the base is going to change things.......it's not like the top officers are in a bunker-like room safe from harm, right? Dude could've just stolen a Shocktrooper costume from one of the TK-Troopers, walked in on Tarkin and the other top yahoos, and thrown a thermal detonator at them to finish the job.

Not to mention that we have more BS with the Empire being pointlessly mean to the clones. I mean, come on, instead of calling them property, why not sell the experiments to them as a way to slow down their aging? That way, they'd happily sign up for it knowing that their growth has been accelerated, and if it works, you now have a way to slow the Emperor's aging process. Bingo!

Also, Nala Se saying that what Palpatine wants is impossible is just.......stupid. I mean, just grab some DNA samples from the man, and start cloning. He'll have fully-functioning clone bodies within 10 years. It's like they want to keep things under wraps and not spell out what Palpatine wants, yet anyone who's seen Dark Empire and Rise of Skywalker can already tell you what it is.

The idea of that game is better than the actual gameplay, from what I recall. It would definitely benefit from a modern redo with some open world elements.

I disagree. The game is great, it's just that it has a higher bar for difficulty in the later levels, because it was made back then when gamers weren't pussies who needed coddling all the way through. Basically, imagine Super Mario with a gun, except instead of a princess, you get a Dark Jedi crack dealer as the goal for the game.

What a cool guy and definitely not a total fucking loser

Just because Eckharts ladder has been brought up in this thread, I just want everyone to know that Eck is aware of the Farms and this thread.

Back when I was a viewer of his (yeah, I know, I left after this incident + his incessant defending of Disney even when they effectively spit in their fans faces by stealing art) I was watching one of his Empire at War: Thrawn’s revenge livestreams he was doing with the creator of the mod, I forget if the farms were mentioned in a super chat or if it came up unprompted, but he seemed pretty salty about the site and basically called us “mindless haters” and “cyber stalkers“ or something to that effect, keep in mind I believe this was sometime after the Byuu saga, not the recent Keffuful last year.

If you guys want to find the livestream my best guess is it’s somewhere on his second channel, I could find it but I don’t want to literally dig through livestreams for it, if someone could do it I’d appreciate it.

Oh the difficulty is fine, it should be hard for a solo Mando to get the job done. I mean fixing the scan system so you don't have to keep it trained on a target like you're scanning lore in Metroid Prime. It was those bits that always got me killed during my runs. You could have it be more of a visor you can switch on/off and still remain in combat.

 

[LORD IMPERATOR]

Once again, Filoni can't even get the politics of both the Empire and the New Republic right.

The New Republic isn't even portrayed as a good government worth fighting for......so once again, all that fighting against the Empire in Rebels, Rogue One, and Andor is basically pointless. All that whining about making a better future, all that BS about how you have to do questionable things to overthrow the Empire, it all ends in tears, so why even bother? With them being so pathetic that they can't even send a few soldiers and pilots to liberate a world from a small pirate presence, it's no wonder some planets chose the First Order over them.

In Bad Batch, the Imperials are openly talking about using the clones as property for genetic experiments, but at this point in time, they've barely passed the Stormtrooper bill, not to mention they'll need large numbers of experienced NCOs, sergeants, trainers, and all sorts of people to train the army, so it would take time for them to be trained, much less time for them to be a match for the clones. Not to mention that the clones are still armed and can still revolt if need be. And this is a galaxy where one asshole from Tatooine can talk to another in Coruscant in realtime. So if a few clones realize they're fucked, the news will spread, and before long, Palpatine's head will be mounted on a spike outside of the capital, and Emperor Lama Su will be barking orders at the Senate.

Not to mention that in the original lore, not only did clones keep serving in the Empire up until Endor, (1/4th of all Stormtroopers were Fett clones, some of whom are Clone Wars vets) and not only were they not bullied by the Imperials, but the clones themselves were the bullies of the Imperial military. Not only are they hot shit for killing off the Jedi, but they saw the newbies as fools who would get them all killed due to their inexperience, and so they gave the noobs a tough time.

But of course, Filoni can't stand his beloved clones becoming the bad guys, even though they're all copied from an unhinged lunatic who'd wipe out an entire Republic prison just to get to a target, or drop a senator from a million-story-high building just to prove a point. The clones becoming bad guys was a big part of SWEU lore and was one of the more compelling parts of it, especially with how their tactics clashed with that of the Jedi, given that the Jedi saw Separatist civilians as worth sparing and protecting, while the clones did not. So Filoni rushed the clone rebellion plotline and mangled its corpse until it is now unrecognizable.

Oh the difficulty is fine, it should be hard for a solo Mando to get the job done. I mean fixing the scan system so you don't have to keep it trained on a target like you're scanning lore in Metroid Prime. It was those bits that always got me killed during my runs. You could have it be more of a visor you can switch on/off and still remain in combat.

I didn't really care about that, considering that all you get from capturing bounties is fucking CONCEPT ART. The comic and outtakes were the real reward for people who beat the game, and they were far more substantial.

Why are you still watching something you know you won't enjoy?

Sunk cost + hoping something you once loved will get better, but knowing deep down it won't. It's the modern Star Wars fan mindset.

competent

*autism sigh* I'm really starting to get tired of SW fans using this word as a replacement for "not as shitty as other thing". You could unironically argue the sequels are "competent" because it had a budget, a few pretty shots, professional camera equipment, and an experienced film production crew. Competence is the bare minimum of every other film or TV show in existence. For Star Wars it's an accomplishment.

The New Republic isn't even portrayed as a good government worth fighting for......so once again, all that fighting against the Empire in Rebels, Rogue One, and Andor is basically pointless. All that whining about making a better future, all that BS about how you have to do questionable things to overthrow the Empire, it all ends in tears, so why even bother?

This is consistent with the sequels, in that the good guys are so retarded after ROTJ the Fail Order appears (kind of but not really) without much difficulty despite also being full of complete idiots.

With them being so pathetic that they can't even send a few soldiers and pilots to liberate a world from a small pirate presence, it's no wonder some planets chose the First Order over them.

Unless you're talking about some Disney Wars books I haven't read I don't think anyone in the galaxy "chose" the FO, they just show up and attack.

 

[Uranus Pink]

Those fans refuse to belive SW is now a maggot infested corpse and hoping somebody else other than them will come around with a defibrillator to revived it.

I just watch other people watch it to make fun of it. I don't actually watch the show myself.

Yes, that's my point. The first season and a half had actual bounty hunts/mercenary work. Then it devolved into whatever the fuck it is now.

*autism sigh* I'm really starting to get tired of SW fans using this word as a replacement for "not as shitty as other thing".

The first time I ever watched star wars (including the OT) was in 2018-2019 or so, maybe even later, don't remember . I thought the original movies were quaint but fun, I liked the prequels for their worldbuilding and I watched like 1.5 of the sequel trilogy. No other series, no books, no comics, or any of that shit.

I thought the movies and the world were neat, I like western inspired space bounty hunting as a concept so I watched mandalorian literally 4 years after it came out.

I'm not a superfan, and you're genuinely retarded if you think only superfans liked the mandalorian considering its one of the few star wars shows to actually break into the mainstream.

 

[Sneed F91]

Why waste time watching something shitty when you can make fun of something being shitty after a bunch of people people have watched it for you?

 

[LORD IMPERATOR]

Sunk cost + hoping something you once loved will get better, but knowing deep down it won't. It's the modern Star Wars fan mindset.

The sigma fan looks forward and establishes their own canon and view of Star Wars. The doomers doompost and the consoomers consoom.

Competence is the bare minimum of every other film or TV show in existence. For Star Wars it's an accomplishment.

To be fair, most TV series suck ass nowadays that even Filoni's pleb-tier writing is akin to Picasso for the average twat. If you think that what's happened to Star Wars is the worst, you haven't been paying attention.

Just ask fans of series such as Scooby Doo, Thundercats, He-Man, or the Witcher. At least the most Filoni does is play with action figures on screen be it BB or Mando. Star Wars got it easy with the real canon mostly unmolested while Disney canon SW is just the Marvel Ultimates of Star Wars made for plebs.

This is consistent with the sequels, in that the good guys are so retarded after ROTJ the Fail Order appears (kind of but not really) without much difficulty despite also being full of complete idiots.

The least they could have done is portray the NR to be competent at the start, then it declines over time, kind of like what happened to the Empire.

Unless you're talking about some Disney Wars books I haven't read I don't think anyone in the galaxy "chose" the FO, they just show up and attack.

Coruscant and a bunch of other planets seceded to join the FO, apparently.

"I just don't get why Disney continues to fuck up Star Wars" I say, re-entering my expired credit card information.
So I can watch ... I mean my Mom can watch Ashoka with my aunt who is terminally ill with rhinoplasty melanoma cancer, they always watched Clone Wars together and since she might not live to see conclusion of Bad Batch I want them to have something to connect with, just like I made sure Dad could watch Kenobi when grandpa was in hospice succumbing to excess ureaysis of the testes.

"Their only decent production is Mandalorian and it hasn't even good for nearly two seasons That's 15 hours of my life gone watching complete, obnoxious garbage. What on earth would make them continue to put out something of such low quality. They should be embarrassed that I was watch this every day as soon as its available for streaming."
I say, re-entering my credit card AGAIN and getting the CVC correct this time.

"I mean, Did you see that shit with Book of Boba Fett? Talk about a waste of an opportunity. Boba Fett wasn't even in one of the episodes. I know because I streamed them all as soon as they were available" I say, clicking the "Yearly Subscription"; when I subscribe for a year, I get one month free - that's how I stick it to the mouse. Eat that shit, Mickey.
"And don't get me started on Bad Batch or how Andor was all tell and no show. I mean did you see all the lore Kenobi undid? Seriously they are just making this up as they go along. Its such a waste of time to watch these shows and pay attention. I had to watch each episode twice to try to catch all the shit they did wrong."

"And all the guys on r/starwars know it. I'm not even taking my Kenobi funko-pops out of the box to put on the Star Wars shelf. I'm just going to resell them once the market on them goes up. That's how much of a trashfire it was that I spent 10 hours of my life watching." I say, looking up information on Mandolorian season 4's release date.

"The fans obviously hate it, so why do they keep making stuff the fans hate?" I say, seeing the text message confirming my Jedi Fallen Order 2 preorder + season pass.

"Its just a complete mystery for me, I just can't understand the Disney exec's decisions." I say, shaking my head as I check my phone alerts and see the news feed talking about the Ashoka series, then checking what day of the week its supposed to release and then making sure to put in a calendar entry so I don't forget to watch it.

"I watched all Sequels, Rogue One, Solo, every show Disney has put on their streaming service, I've been giving them money everytime they put out something with Star Wars on it, and I'm always disappointed. I don't know why they can't give dedicated fans like me quality content, are they trying to piss us off? Its like they just expect us to keep giving them money and attention no matter what shit they produce. I just simply can't understand it."

I wouldn't even bother watching the Disney shit, it's not worth it. You might as well watch/play the EU stuff Disney ripped off in the first place.

Good thing I didn't say that though huh?

Let's not get carried away. You could throw a rock and find a better show than Dave's hot glue fantasies. If you look hard enough, you'll find something that isn't woke garbage.

Just ask fans of series such as Scooby Doo, Thundercats, He-Man, or the Witcher.

Velma, Thundercats Roar, MOTU Revalation, and the Witcher show may be terrible, but they're nowhere near the falloff from the OT to the sequels.

At least the most Filoni does is play with action figures on screen

>implying

That's not what they wanted to do. They wanted to copy the OT and in order to do that they had to make the NR even more incompetent than the Old Republic was, so the FO could rise.

@Sneed F91

IF you look hard enough. Outside of just going to the past and looking at stuff made 18 years ago, you're stuck with a bare handful of things that aren't woke garbage, like Cobra Kai or the DCEU. But the DCEU is dead, and Cobra Kai is ending next season.

Velma, Thundercats Roar, MOTU Revalation, and the Witcher show may be terrible, but they're nowhere near the falloff from the OT to the sequels.

Not quite. At least with the Sequels, they're fun if you switch your brain off and view it from an MCU-style perspective. You have things exploding, people dying, and there's enough adrenaline to keep the dumb normies engaged. Velma, MOTU Revelation, and Thundercats can't even be that. They go out of their way to be insulting in a manner that makes TLJ Jake Skywalker look normal.

That's not what they wanted to do. They wanted to copy the OT and in order to do that they had to make the NR even more incompetent than the Old Republic was, so the FO could rise.

There's a few decades in between Mando and TFA; the least they could do is have the NR be good for something in the first ten years, then slowly slide down the drain, like the Empire.

 

[Oilspill Battery]

Good thing I didn't say that though huh?

You keep calling it "The modern star war mindset".

Did the posibility that people just liked the show on its own merit and don't like that it sucks now even cross your mind?

 

[Midwit]

Why is the empire using a land vehicle?

I'm sick and tired of people complaining about this as if Star Wars hasn't had massive ground vehicles since 1980, you're effectively asking why people aren't transporting ore by cargo helicopter rather than asking the far more important question of why the transports didn't have any means of defending themselves despite being ran directly by the military whilst also being constantly attacked by the natives. If you're referring to the Tatooine Gun Train then that's a fair complaint since the entire thing is nonsensical and exists solely so that Favreau could homage Lawrence of Arabia despite it making no sense when you think about it as anything more than an action setpiece.

Did the posibility that people just liked the show on its own merit and don't like that it sucks now even cross your mind?

It's been my experience that people liked the idea of Mando moreso than the actual show, and the further it deviates from that idea the less people like it.

 

[Sneed F91]

You keep calling it "The modern star war mindset".

If it wasn't clear I was talking about long time SW fans who watched the Disney movies as they came out in real time and liked Mando before Disney bought it.

Did the posibility that people just liked the show on its own merit and don't like that it sucks now even cross your mind?

No, not really.
