Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[The Nothingness]

Some sad news for the day, Ray Stevenson, who is set to appear in the Ahsoka series (and voiced Gar Saxon), died suddenly on Sunday at the age of 58. I'm guessing his character will be defeated by Ahsoka at the end of season. But if not, they'll either have him die offscreen or recast the character.

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

saw this writeup on wdwmagic when looking for chatter about this closing, really sums up why this was a fucking terrible idea

100% understand. My comment was about how 95% of my cast interactions onboard were with the actors, not hotel staff. There's really very little you'll probably need to interact with staff about, outside of food service, unless something goes horribly wrong with your trip, like missing luggage, etc. Despite people thinking/expecting/wishing to the contrary, it's really not a deluxe hotel experience -- you're paying for the actors and story experiences. If your idea of a vacation is relaxation and pampering, there are plenty of other places that would fit the bill.

The AmberHeartsDisney Reddit review is interesting. I can't tell if something went colossally wrong with their app experience like they think, or if they didn't interact early enough with the actors to start getting missions added to their itinerary. For example, they didn't mention muster at all, which is when you first meet everyone and really get started with the story. The meetings being late or non-existent is interesting, too. That was obviously not my experience, but it's such a tightly organized timeline that I could see there being a bad domino effect if something goes off the tracks early in a day. There are only so many character actors and they can't be in two places at once. I could totally see there not being a lot of built-in flexibility, and it's not as if someone can really come in, break immersion, and say, "Sorry, this meeting isn't going to happen -- the Captain is busy elsewhere." A lot of the meetings are "secret" and there wouldn't be an appropriate person to deliver that message.

a) you're paying enough that you'd goddamn well better get a deluxe hotel experience
b) what the fuck is this "whoops you didn't get the starting quest" bullshit? this is not some fucking WoW raid you need to catch the next one in thirty minutes, you are paying serious goddamn money and if you sleep in then get stuck on the can they had fucking better get your ass to the next event post-haste

iirc he was also Main Evil British Guy in RRR

 

[Grave Ghost]

The plot has a strong start and it's overall decent but it kinda deflated a little bit towards the end? The final boss fight was great, but I think it really came down to the fact that they left the door open for a 3rd one like they did with Fallen order and it was a bit more jarring.

I was let down by the ending as well. It felt like there should have been some big twist in the end like Vader showing up but I was overall surprised at how decent it was.

and how about those Totally Star Wars Fun Cruise Activities?

This reminds me of how Iger banned the sale of toy guns on Disney Parks because muh gun(nogs shooting nogs) violence and included the toy blasters they sold at Star Tours and refuses to make an exemption for Galaxy's Edge so they had to come up with the lame excuse that the planet had "blaster control".

damn, what a shame. couldn't care less about nuwars, but he was a talented actor and always a joy to watch.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Ray was really really excited about the new show too. I wonder what happened? I hope it wasn't suicide. Cancer? Covid? Car accident?

Fell down a rabbit hole and wow he was on Rome, the film RRR (he did his own stunt btw), etc. The interview he did at Celebration was fun because he was all giddy. This is terrible news.

 

[Manly_Brony]

Disney has made so many awful financial decisions since buying SW that I'm honestly surprised that a new version of the Character Played By A Recently Deceased Jewish Actress Soap hasn't hit the shelves yet.

 

[Michael Wade]

One more thing I want to praise Jedi Survivor on. Boba fett has a cameo appearance after you kill all the bounty hunters and he acts like he walked out of an old dark horse comic.

His reaction to Cal is basically: "Im not your friend, I dont like your kind and any other day Id take your bounty, but this bitch right here is worth a billion credits. Dont fuck with me and I wont fuck with you... today."

Feels like they are either setting up a fight in the sequel or they are teasing him getting his own game. Respawn did say they were working on a shooter...

 

[Tony Vivaldi]

Nah the rebels were vietcong.

Wrong. They were based on Marines in Vietnam and American Revolutionaries. The Ewoks were Vietcong.

Don't contradict me when you KNOW I'm gonna be right.

 

[Male Idiot]

I enjoy SWTOR, but god damn is the discussions surrounding it a well of bad takes. "I can play a Sith Lord, pick all the evil options and yet still pick good options, so obviously there's no downside or consequence to using the dark side. And this has nothing to do with how a Theme park MMO that couldn't even allow you to directly kill off Companions because it inconvienced people who didn't think through killing their healers isn't going to introduce any meaningful concequences for you alignment."

To be fair a whole load of dumbasses did that in beta and then reeed like retards.

Its not your aligment, but the game was hard and you really fucking needed said healer if you wanted to do content without having to heal between every fight. Basically, it consigned you to take 3 times as long, as the game was actually challenging before all enemies got nerfed by about 50% at least.

 

[WonderWino]

Disney's retarded hotel disproves Scientist Man's theory that Disney could make money off Star Wars by targeting the most die hard man child SW consoomers with hilariously overpriced exclusive experiences and endless products (aka the irl "micro"transaction model) available at those experiences to get excited about

They should have gone the simple and direct route, taking a tip from that outer limits episode where they freeze all the seniors at the nursing home and only thaw them out when somebody comes to visit, and frozen all the guests in carbonite for a few months, maxing their credit cards the whole time

I guess that means we won't ever be getting that rome movie then

Ray was really really excited about the new show too. I wonder what happened? I hope it wasn't suicide. Cancer? Covid? Car accident?

He was apparently rushed to the hospital from the set during filming so i'd say a heart attack or a stroke

Basically, it consigned you to take 3 times as long, as the game was actually challenging before all enemies got nerfed by about 50% at least.

The issue was also that allowing players to kill off said healers could fuck up design requirements for any future content as well. They still haven't fixed the problems caused by the level sync doing weird shit at times, such as botching how the fight with the first son works at the end of the jedi counsular storyline and making it impossible to interrupt his one hit kill attacks

and if you really want an experience to make you ree try the jedi knight story missions on belsavis. Final encounter is timed and you can lose and get the whole thing reset even if you disarm all the explosives and some npc bugs out and starts running around the room faster than you're capable of so you can't catch and kill him before the time runs out

So how long will it be before disney goes even more woke and doubles down with ebonics star wars

[Inafune Fanfiction]

It will never not be hilarious to beat Darth Nihlus, or rather the entire sith triumverate on Hard with nothing but an unarmed build in Kotor 2.

Then whenever I get to Malachor its like the game falls apart at the seams even with the restored content mod. From inconsistencies due to game bugs in the ending, to the "free your friends" option that still does nothing. You still cant bring any of them with you to fight Darth Sion or Darth Traya.

 

[RiceofSkywalker]

Speaking of KOTOR II, Aspyr announced that the Restored Content Mod DLC won't be coming to the Switch port after all, despite it apparently being promised in the release announcement.

So whoever was stupid enough to give them money (let alone pre-order it) will be stuck with a broken, unfinished game. Consoomers win again!

I will never not love that Darth Sion's boss fight is basically you just spamming KYS in chat.

Considering all the times I played the original game on my Xbox I wouldn't have had a problem with this in the past. Even without the Restored Content Mod, Kotor 2 is a brilliant game with high replay value, it's definitely still worth getting. But after playing with the mod a few times there's definitely no way I could go back to playing just the Xbox version. I'd be missing out on way too much, the experience would be totally ruined.

I think before Aspyr got their hands on kotor2, there were some potentially game-halting bugs that would make finishing impossible. I think those have been fixed in the re-releases, but it would be hilarious if not.

It seems SWTOR's future development is being handed over to Broadsword Online. Really, the biggest shocker here is the reveal that 70-80 people were working on SWTOR and not a couple of dudes smoking that Cartel Market money.

Disney and Comcast are fighting over Hulu. Likely result is that Comcast simply forces Disney to buy Comcast's one-third share of Hulu, making Disney the sole owner of Hulu. This would be a major problem for Disney, who would need to come up with a minimum of 9 billion dollars worth of liquid funds to pay with.

Following is rumors from Doomcock. For every "broke the news that new Indiana Jones movie features time travel and has Indy die so that strong woman can replace him" -case there are dozen "Kathleen Kennedy is will be fired soon" -videos.

Assets they plan to liquidate include Lucasfilm.

The buyer will be George Lucas.

If this actually happens and the price he pays is even one cent below what he was originally paid, I will expect to laugh so hard that I may need medical attention.

The only person more consistently wrong than Mike Zeroh is Doomcuck. Even with them closing down the SW Hotel, I don't see them selling off Lucasfilm.

Heck, I still believe a good chunk of the reason they bought Fox was to get the rights to the original trilogy, in particular A New Hope. (Also the hanging Marvel stuff, as well as some nice filler for Disney+ like The Simpsons, Home Alone, etc..)

That would explain the culling happening at everything Diseny owns.

So given how Doomcock predictions have played out in the past, this means Disney will be dumping 500 million dollars into Lucasfilm, and Kathleen Kennedy will be elevated to Godhood in a ceremony at Disneyworld.
