Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Rome's rightful successor]

Rebels live action.

I'm really curious to know how many people know and care about Ashoka as a character or are willing to catch up on rebels to know or care about any of this

Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (“Ms. Marvel”) will direct from a script by Steven Knight (“Peaky Blinders”). The film follows the events of “Rise of Skywalker,” and will focus on Rey as she builds a new Jedi Order.

They humiliated and murder Luke for this.

 

[Midwit]

And they’re probably going to take 19 books worth of NJO content and put it into one movie

Nah, they're just going to take the name so that when people look it up on google it'll come up with their shit instead of the original works just like with Tales of the Jedi.

 

[Xenomorphs Are Cute]

I think the high point in Ray Stevenson's Hollywood career was playing Frank Castle in Punisher War Zone.

I'm probably the only one who either remembers that, or cares about that neglected gore-laden schlockfest of a film. But I'll go to my grave loving it...and I certainly got more joy out of it than all two seasons of that HORRENDOUS, disgraceful excuse for a Netflix series

I love War Zone, it's actually my favourite Punisher film since my childhood.

The funny thing about the Netflix one is that it feels less Punisher than Daredevil S2 version did.

 

[jspit2.0]

It was like a constant porno.


It would have been really good if it wasn't a Disney show starring a kid.

I mean, shows starring kids don't have to be bad?

Damn you @Mississippi Motorboater. Damn you to hell you fucking sonofabitch!

Damn you for making me ever have to do anything positive for Dave Filoni and damn this website fucking up...

What would be an example of a strong individual episode of Rebels, might I ask? Because that "overall it's not good, but it has some isolated highlights" is the exact same feeble defense bandied about to excuse the laughable ratio of good to bad episodes for TCW.

I mean, right off the bat your lumping me in with Clone Warz people.

Even wlight of the Apprentice, which everyone hails as the greatest episode of the show, is riddled with garbage, like the worst use of the helicopter lightsabers, the jobbing of Vader, Maul literally losing to a blind man and tripping off a cliff like a Looney Tunes character, among countless other things.

Sigh. Literal, internet, sigh.

For starters and people who didn't suffer through Rebels. Twilight of the Apprentice is from Season 2. It is an excuse to shove Darth Maul and Vader into a story they don't belong. No, I'm not using Twilight of the apprentice; I'm on record thinking the inquisitors are fucking gay and that Darth Vader should be forever out of Dave's reach.

Let's do this....

Season 1 is largely bland garbage. The best of the worst would be Eps 9, where without cameos or relying on others work, he largely tells a cohesive story of a flawed young man and his mentor. It's mostly bleh.

The first season arrogantly started with fewer cameos and relied on Filoni's own work. Then they poured them in the last half; a Billy Dee episode; a Yoda episode; and then Tarkin fills in as the actual bad guy for the last three/four eps with Asohka and Vader thrown in the last ep along with Bail Organa. I believe this was due to faltering ratings as it was the Clone Wars without George.

Season 2 continued this, bringing in Darth Vader for the first two episodes, then the stupid Filoni clones star in the next two episodes where the FUCKING BRAIN CHIPS THAT I FUCKING HATE become a major plot point exculpating all the clones for Order 66. From there Hondo guests in the next ep, so we have one fucking episode out of the first half of the season that isn't God Damned Filoni Warz wank and member berries. But hey, gotta boost rating. Episode Seven steals Admiral Ackbar's B-wing and makes it a ridiculous superweapon. They literally make Ep 10 to wank to Asohka. Oh and they rip off Force Unleashed in Ep 12. It's a fairly miserable slog through the second half with The Honorable Ones being probably the one memorable episode for taking the one dimensional Kallus and making him a human being. It all ends with Apprentice Twilight. I, don't have much nice to say. Darth Maul and Darth Vader. You've taken these two, who never should have been in the same place. You don't even have them fight. Instead, you have Maul get sidelined like a bitch after being a Chatty Cathy and Vader gets forced into a cameo. Again. The only redeeming thing I remember is everyone assumed that Dave had....finally killed Asohka.

I have, extremely mixed feelings on what Fagloni did to the EU characters he pilfered. The Antilles extraction is loathsome; single handedly ruining Rogue Squadron to build up Sabine. Unnecessarily, I might add, considering Dave would later go to great lengths to turn her into a Mary Sue. Despite that, Hera's heroes is the first episode I would call solid. It manages to provide a background for Hera, establish Thrawn as a menace without undermining other characters, and contextualizes the cast. An Inside Man is a shocking solid episode. It has tension, menace, and plot with it being arguable if the Rebels so much win as survive. Considering, if pressed, prior to this season I would maybe have praised two or three episodes as 'good'; that's two solid eps and the in-between weren't completely vile. Then we have Ep 11. It's...not good. Ep 12 and 13 are a part of what makes Fagloni such a loathsome parasite. Dave created a little 2 d character in Filoni Warz called Saw. Saw's sole characteristic other than proud and angry is he loves his sister, who dies. Saw then got inserted into Rogue One, which is filled with references to Fagloni characters. The Episode is largely blah with a side of blah. Trials of the Darksaber is where Sabine's journey to Rey/Asohka status is complete, they all pledge lolyalty to her as the bestest evah! Like a bipolar clown, the show then delivers the solid, through Imperial Eyes. Then it goes to hell. Fagloni has slowly been inserting Thrawn and Maul here and there to build up
to two big reckonings. For Maul, it's the lasting indignity of being dismissed and cut down by Kenobi in five seconds of probably the most anti-climactic fight in Star Wars history. For Thrawn, after literally being shown to be ruthless and not tolerate failure, he allows the Admiral who failed to command the centerpiece of his strategy; which conveniently allows Fagloni's OC's to escape.

Why I said season three is the best he's done is because of this. Because, throughout it, he lays the seeds of an actual story with consequences. He has moments where his characters actually lose. There are more genuinely enjoyable episodes in Season 3 than in the rest of the show combined. But all of that DOES NOT MATTER! Because he fumbled the execution at every turn. Because his feminist, libfilm, and ego driven agendas prevent him from making good, story crushing decisions.

But, unlike Mando Season 1 and 2, where you can literally just watch the first and last couple of eps and be good, or Filoni Wars that got worse as the series progressed; Rebels Season 3 actually showed some effort to build something. It failed, but I would point to it as his creative high in terms of what he's actually, solely responsible for. No Favreau, No George.

Guys...it's happening. Jedi Master Rey, in a post-TROS Sequel.

Just for context, this was the film that Damon Lindelof bailed from, and they had to hastily change writers last minute before this announcement...meaning that, already, the ST Production Curse is happening all over again, tethered to the same cast of characters.

...Remember how Filoni and Favreau were supposedly going to retcon the Sequel Trilogy?

Get ready for weeks and weeks and weeks of cope from FiloniFags everywhere.

It's not that they're trying to put out a fire with gasoline that's baffling to me, it's the fact they're trying to put out a fire with gasoline for the nth time.

@Mississippi Motorboater

No one will ever get my collection of EU hardcovers and paperbacks. I don't care how much I could make selling them on the internet. I've flicked the corners of those pages more times than beans get flicked on OnlyFans

 

[Raoul_Duke]

I know that in this thread, we've had a long series of arguments and debates about the current shitshow that Star Wars has become, and we're all welcome to it. But in regards to the newly proposed movie with that wooden donkey Daisy Ridley's Believe or Not levels of bad acting, I have only these words to say: Fuck 'em! Just fuck 'em! Won't watch, and why would I? They don't want my money, and so I'll happily oblige these pricks in that respect.

Wow, I care... just enough to post a response. Between adblock and apathy, I'd expect I wouldn't even know when the movie releases, if not for the fact I also expect to keep lurking in this thread.

Can't wait to drop by my local Wal-Mart 5 years from now and see Jedi Master Rey shelfwarming alongside the same five TROS Landos they've been failing to sell for the last three years.

 

[The Nothingness]

"I started hearing whispers about Thrawn's return... As Heir to the Empire."

They can name-drop references to EU material all they want, all I got from that line is "somehow Thrawn has returned."

 

[MoffAlbert]

"I started hearing whispers about Thrawn's return... As Heir to the Empire."

Ladies and gentleman, the Consumers have soiled themselves.

You just know they spent seconds (which is basically hours in lazy hack time) agonizing over how they could shove in that title drop.

I'm gonna fucking puke.

Her acting is top notch, between her mouth hanging open like a dead fish and tightening it like she's about- Oh wait, this isn't the pornhub tab, what are we talking about?

Really, that's the perfect line. Because unlike Palpatine, I don't actually want to know what happened after the Space Tentacle Hentai got him.

 

[5t3n0g0ph3r]

The failure of Luke Skywalker is complete.

Not that Luke, though.
Mouse Luke, sure.

 

[starborn427614]

How likely is it that Hamill turns up as a force ghost in the new movie?

 

[Wyzzerd]

I feel pretty confident this movie will swiftly added to the list of cancelled movies.

I've lost count of how many they threatened to make onlu for them to quiety get cancelled, this will be no different.

 

[The Doom Slayer]

How likely is it that Hamill turns up as a force ghost in the new movie?

100%. And he will almost certainly have a line or two about how she's surpassed him in every way, succeeded where he failed, etc.

Amazing how they're basically quadrupling down on their bullshit here. The message couldn't be any more clear: "We don't care, fuck you."

 

[Raoul_Duke]

To add onto another two cents to this discussion: You could make a better story with an RPG group headed by a 90 IQ monkey, than you can with the current heads of Lucasfilm. Infinite monkeys with typewriters given enough time to make Hamlet and all, you know.

 

[Miller]

I mean, shows starring kids don't have to be bad?

No, but Disney makes a special brand of kids shows.

Well, close to Dickens, anyways.

Yeah.

Thoughts on Asohka Trailer having pumped out that dissection of Rebels above....

1. Dave has been silently fuming because people point out she is not a Jedi Knight and never was. He's going to do his best to try to retcon her into both the order and grant her Masterhood despite her lack of qualifications.

2. I cringed at it all. Thrawn, not Grand Admiral Thrawn. As if Asohka ever met or had anything to do with him. That and the Heir line as well as the reaction. No. Fuck no. This isn't respect. Not that Tim Zahn deserves any at this point. Respect Heir to the Empire at the least.

3. This should have been the set up for the Sequels lads, a new heir to the Empire with an actual plot. Too bad it's all fucked to hell and run by a talentless manlet.

4. The Rebels characters look awful. Sabine looks cringe outside of animation. The big furry fuck made me laugh when I looked up the Mando screenshot. We did get to see the back of Thrawn's head for a second and it along with Asohka doesn't look repulsive. Also, I didn't see any helicopter lightsabers or inquisitors. Massive upgrade.

5. I noticed two male characters. Thrawn and dark Jedi guy. That's it. Space Aladdin is supposed to show up. Which is dumb because it invalidates Yoda in Return of the Jedi and how the fuck do you survive explosive decompression while in hyperspace? I know people didn't watch fucking Rebels but still.

6. Seriously, how the fuck are you writing yourself out of space whales???!! Unless he's a clone this knock off Smurf should be rotting in an astroid field with space whale dung.

7. The 'fan' reactions on YT have convinced me that Disney Warz fans are the lowest scum who will literally like anything and I now hate them more than Disney.

 

[wholetthegodsout]

It’s really sad that their only move is to make a movie about a character everyone has lost interest in, on a mission that had already been completed by Luke, in a sequel to a trilogy everyone wishes they could forget.

I don’t think they will cram the NJO into one movie. NJO title is definitely a feeler. If the consoomers bite on this we will get 19 movies of marvelized Star Wars trash.
