Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

Del Rey, Dark Horse and LucasFilm Publishing used to fucking spoil us man, let me tell you.
I can just imagine the type of bitching and complaining that went on back in the 2000s. It hit peak in the 2010s when there were no new movies coming out. If only the fans knew.
You guys remember when the actors did phone calls to people for Empire Strikes Back?
It's hard to imagine ESB ever being a "new" movie. It's hard to think about any of the OT movies being new, they've always just existed to me. I'm still kicking myself for not getting to see ESB for the 40th anniversary a few years back (I don't care it was the special edition).

Not having internet must have made the movies more exciting to watch, considering we can know how much Star Wars sucks instantly thanks to social media.
Putting Jack Black and Lizzo in charge of such a world made perfect sense because they're portraying aloof goofballs who live for pleasure.
Having Republic planets being run by such incompetents proves the sequels are still canon, since the only way they could have fallen to the Not Empire is if everyone was completely stupid.
 
Broke: Most planets go with the flow.
Woke: Democracy powerrrr! Take that Kylo!
Bespoke: Durr I be Queen Lizzo we wuz spaxe knight an shieet, First Order, not caring, first order, give me a first order of borgars and space kfc.

Also, putting nanites in motor oil to repgrogram droids seem like a cool flashy thing that opens dozens of plotholes unintentionally, like Holdo ram.

Also, why are there no droid lives matter memes yet? That poor big black slave loader droid got kicked, ran away, and the Manpopodolarians goodified him like the evil huwyte thugs they are.

I can't beep!

The hilarious thing is that if Trek show runners hadn't bee massive faggots trying to subvert expectations they could have just made Picard Season 1 the TNG-verse (TNG, DS1, VOY) memberberry reunion fans had wanted and ridden high on the waves of consoomer jizz. Now, in addition to having shit on everything with a nonsense story that only tracks if you are trying to hamhandedly cram in modern day political metaphors (that have your politics approved villains and resolution) it make you really just look like a pandering bitch trying to damage control.

OTOH, has the massive outpouring of coom from abused wives for doing what they should have done 6 years ago, maybe the right move was to shit on them because they'll still lap it up like good abused wives.

I haven't wasted the braincells, but from what I understand Season 2 didn't really shit on Trek so much as it was just a completely unintelligible mess that was trying to be a story about mental health awareness or some shit.
As I understand it, Season 2 of Picard was letting Patrick Stewart have a lot more control, so it was whatever rambling Leftist and personal feelings he had for a story, so you get stuff like Picard's mother committing suicide and ICE is evil and it has to take place in the 21th century.* Combined with massively incompetent script writers that INSIST on the Borg, well, Stewart clearly lost a lot of clout based on the tard-wrangling we now see with his performance in season 3. I found Time's Arrow, a two-parter where Data meets Mark Twain and Jack London, to be lackluster when I saw it, but goddamn is it better than Season 2 of Picard by being competent.

To Matalas's credit, they aren't doing that. I still think he's Dave Filoni though, seeing as how he still falls for the Borg pitfall writing cliche when the entirety of Voyager proved that writing the Borg as Rita Repulsa doesn't work.

*And the 21th century in real Star Trek is grim-dark as fuck. WWIII happens in it. Making it some lame contemporary version of today sucks.
 
Mando season finale was OK. Definitely not a patch on Din's holdout on Navarro or Luke rescuing them all from the Dark Troopers and I could definitely see people being disappointed, but in terms of being about The Mandalorian it hit the right notes for me.

Season 3 was definitely the weakest of the three so far, but imo it only truly had one outright bad episode. You know the one. The rest were either decent or good.
 
Just watched the Mandalorian season finale. Pretty underwhelming.

Just a basic paint by numbers episode. No other spy. Bo Katan saves Din, again. No cliffhanger. No surprise cameos.

One of the Mandalorian's uses his jetpack to fly from an underground cave out of the planets atmosphere. Without extra protection, just Him in his armor. Should have burned up. So if they can use jetpacks to fly in and out of planet atmosphere without extra protection, why use ships? Plus the fact in an earlier episode this season, Someone mentioned they don't enough jetpack fuel to go miles to get someplace. But the jetpacks have enough fuel to go from an underground cave to a ship outside the planets atmosphere? Right.

Grogu could have stayed out if the mech suit and nothing would have changed. Only reason they put Grogu in it was to sell toys.

Din manages to escape from the guards that were bringing him to get questioned. He takes a jetpack from one of them. Later on when Din has to fight again, he says he has no weapons. So he takes a jetpack from one, but doesn't take any weapons?

Show has gone down hill. Really sucked this season. Major logic flaws.

The jetpack thing was...odd. I could put it down to the Mandos in the previous episode having less fuel, but that doesn't explain being able to fly right up through an electronic field. I wasn't actually sure if the ships were in the upper atmosphere or plain out in space either.

Wasn't expecting the finale to be great, but got something rushed and mediocre; I guess they really wanted to get it out of the way. At least they didn't do a Hux and make the Armorer go "I'm the Spy" as suggested by the gay Star War "Theorists" that go on about because "muh spikes, muh Maul, and muh plural."

I'm watching it now and finding that I'm at the half way point and bored. Mando is fighting Obama as I type this.

Apparently "The Spies" was a biblical reference. It's referring to when Bo and the others went down to the surface to scout ahead.
 
what the fuck even happened?

Not sure what the point of S3 was other than to keep the franchise in a holding pattern until they figure out what to do with it. Obama gets 'killed' again by having a star destroyer dropped on his head, the darksaber gets squished, and IG 11 is a robot again. I dunno...
Guess I'm glad I only watched S1. I thought it was fine, a nice change of pace with a few dud episodes. But I guess no decent thing goes unfucked with Disney.

SWGB is purely responsible for why I thought Gungans were cool as a kid. Its a pity RTS isn't a more popular genera. I'd love to see SWGB2 with more civs and campaigns. There is a mod called Expanding Fronts that added the New Republic, Imperial Remnant, Black Sun Syndicate, and the sequel reskins.
The RTS genre was rather popular back in the late 90s. Command and Conquer, Starcraft/Warcraft, Age of Empires, everywhere I turned back then, there was a new RTS coming out. It wasn't that surprising that we got TWO Star Wars strategy games; Rebellion for the Total War/Crusader Kings nerds, and Galactic Battlegrounds for the Age of Empires/Starcraft nerds. Then they followed that up with Empire at War.

You know what is fucked up. I actually hope they kill of Din and completely burn down the show tonight. I think I would get more entertainment out of them just shitting the bed even harder than if it was just a really good episode of the show.
Nope. They just killed off Moff Chicken Man, but seeing as how we didn't see a dead body and he was covered from head to toe with an armor suit that can fly and can laugh off lightsaber strikes, I can't buy that he's dead. He'll probably show up in the Ahsoka show or the Mando movie. Especially since they established that there was some conflict between him and Thrawn. They can't just throw that plot point away and not follow up on it. Maybe Gideon comes back to shit up Thrawn's plans. Or maybe he cooperates with Thrawn for the common purpose of making the New Republic and their Mandalorian allies pay.

That's not a good way to be thinking about is as someone who liked the first two seasons a lot.
The third season basically did the same thing as the first; do random shit while Mando and Baby Yoda hung around. Only Season 2 had a coherent arc because Din was trying to find a Jedi to train Grogu.

The damage done by the "Holdo Manuever" was so extreme they had to take the time to explain why the heroes can't just do that again. Fucking cucks think it was a good explanation too.
