Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Adamska]

That is all good. It is just a nigger ooking "Wewuz! Raycism an shieet." How hard is that to produce? A good autotune wagie can make that in an hour unless she eats too much waddymelon and naps through the video.

Incorrect.

It's an insecure mulatto that the entertainment industry dredged up since they fucking hate and fear black people unless they're mixed with another race or emasculated. It's said mulatto that's throwing shade and LARPing as black. Ignore her white Danish father, unless she wants to claim inuit ancestry to lie about further oppression. Ignore how she was born with a multimillionaire family and went to prep school.

Same energy as Rachel Ziegler, who literally is fucking Polish LARPing as Latino.

I wonder if it's a classic case of why film series often go to shit after two successful films. Bob Iger gets Favreau to make Mandolorian. He's allowed to do his thing. Turns out great. Told to go make another season. It's also good. Suddenly Star Wars TV is a big thing for Disney and Lucasfilm. So then there's now lots of meddling and demands. People coming in to stick their fingers in it have to work more directly under Lucasfilms control.

It's Disney desperately scrounging at the success since their titanic failures at management want to claim the credit for accidental quality. Basically, each time Disney made something good was solely out of neglect. It's why Inside Out 2 did so well, since it was neglected and allowed to be a middling kid's film, which did gangbusters in the 2024 wastelands.

I fully expect grasping losers to try and micromanage their next work solely because it was a W, and Disney needs those to lie to investors badly.

Then Acolyte is a Star Wars show made by people who don't know star wars or even like it with the wrong people deliberately hired for "reasons." Then clearly some agenda and ideological things going on.

In their own words, they made it the gayest one out there. This also means that it's the lamest now.

They also were damn well aware it was going to suck, and brainlessly repeated the "don't watch unless you are paid to or profoundly mentally retarded" method of trying to shame people into watching it. Only now they're actually blaming fandom menace directly since the numbers are so bad some of their videos are matching them.

It's hilarious.

Ashoka, I don't even know, I haven't seen all of Clone Wars but Filoni should have done better. I wonder if he writing at the pace he would tell a story over a 22-episode season. Which is why it felt so incomplete.

Dave expected people to read his mind and have watched all four seasons of Rebels, since it was technically a stealth release of a fifth season. He also got caught up in wanking himself since he finally got his shitty OC in live action. He also could not do episodic format for this one, meaning his random plot bullshit go method doesn't work.

I'm guessing that in the story the evil twin cuts her hair so she can pretend to be her sister, but doing it like this looks really stupid.

One wrong move and she would've decapitated herself. Also, shouldn't her hair be burnt? But then again, this show gives zero fucks about how fire and heat actually work.

 

[This ruined Sonic]

Too bad she has no ass. I guess her white genes won over her black genes in this case

Funny how I accidentally predicted that JLongbone would make a video about this.

 

[Midwit]

IRL military geniuses have a whole constellation of supporting characters, but the needs of fiction saw Zahn condense them into one character.

Most of the time you can simplify it to an advisor and a handful of subordinates who actually carry out those plans, though with C'boath in the picture the subordinates aren't really needed. The main issue with Pell is that he was clearly written as stand-in for the reader so he doesn't really do anything to justify his inclusion compared to how he's written in later appearances, he should have been Thrawn's admin officer since that would have given him some kind of purpose at least.

The cast set-up of a leader with his advisors and his subordinates isn't really suited to the more swashbuckling style of most Star Wars fiction anyhow, the Thrawn Trilogy itself mainly focused on the OT cast having relatively small scale adventures on the ground level and not on the military, there would be more room for those kinds of characters if it did but since it didn't there's no use complaining about it. I think that a series focusing on higher level military affairs is something that I would really like in the setting, especially with the direction that Disney has gone in their post-OT setting but it would require writers who actually give a shit and aren't afraid to make the good guys anything other than squeaky-clean cartoon heroes or marxist revolutionary wish fulfilment, we could never get a character as based as Schenkopp with Filoni in charge.

Also, shouldn't her hair be burnt? But then again, this show gives zero fucks about how fire and heat actually work.

The High Republic likes to play pretty fast & loose with what exactly a lightsaber can do, I think it's a great example of why capeshit (I guess in this case it would be robeshit) is the lowest form of action-adventure fiction.

Boba Fett. My gut reaction is that it was meant to be a linear story, but they were told not to do that as it must have present Boba first and forement. Then a lack of confidence and they demanded episodes of The Mandalorian be inserted. The split timeline really hurt that show.

It's difficult to write good Boba Fett story. The only piece that in my opinion did him justice was Twin Engines of Destruction and this pretty much sums it up:

He shouldn't talk too much and when he does, it should be brief and to the point.

And Temura Morrison agreed. But they kept sticking words into his mouth and made him a boomer.

Not sure if that would have worked, at least not while staying on-brand. The Thrawn Trilogy was sort of the last hurrah of non-Force users as crucial to the setting, though. I suppose given the, uh, interesting direction that the EU went in both iterations, the core problem of Star Wars is that it's never gotten out of the shadow of the OT- there was no Next Generation, everything has to ultimately proceed from, or lead back to, the same half-dozen names.

Smilo Ren stops lightsabers from working by hitting one with his gauntlet (or hand) and other with the helmet. I can imagine what the "explanation" from the shills will be.

They also ripped off Magneto as Smilo Ren says that his helmet protects him from the Jedi reading his mind.

Boba is also a ruthless hard ass. He's not incapable of a good deed and I can buy him being more of a good guy but traditionally he's cutthroat. He's not going to burn down an orphanage but if you got a bounty on your head tough luck.

The boba tv series shouldn't have been a series. With proper editing it could have worked as a TV special. Just cut out the fluff and had the last 3 episodes be the core of it.

 

[AnsemSoD1]

As silly as the old EU got (and still gets with the old republic shit), it at least didn't seem to come from a place of deep seated hatred and pettiness (Some of Karen Traviss's works nonwithstanding). Honestly, the one and only big thing that really keeps me and probably a lot of other fans from reading past NJO and the Swarm War is Mara's death, which was the EU equivalent of One More Day in our eyes. If that never happened, then I would be more than content to tolerate most, if not all, of the other stupid shit that came out later in the eu's lifetime. Although Pelleaon's death was also fucking stupid in my eyes, as was Jacen Solo's fall to the dark side, fuck that shit right to Hell.

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

Honestly I liked how Boba Fett was handled in the EU. I remember reading a short story about him in the Tales of the Bounty Hunters book that I really liked.

The assassin Dengar, the dude with the towel around his head in that ESB scene, who had all his emotions cut out of him by the Empire to make him more effective at killing people meets and falls in love with with a alien whose culture uses technology to share thoughts and emotions and "shares" herself with him giving him back some of what he's lost so he obviously saves her and goes rogue on the Empire and much action stuff happens.

At the end of the story his waifu is like "lets get married" and he's like "sure why not, but we dirt poor now that I'm a wanted man and we lost everything to escape that last bounty hunter." So since there is only 1 planet in the whole galaxy they end up on Tatooine and figure that ruins of Jaba's place might have something they can scavenge there so off they go in their land speeder. While scavenging they hear a huge BOOM and go investigate only to find someone has gone and blown up the Sarlacc. It's likes totes dead, guts spewing everywhere. Much shock all around.

But there's a figure crawling up out of it and you guessed it, it's Big Bobby F. But he's all kinda fucked up and only barely alive and only recognizable because of the little bits of armor that are left clinging to him so Dengar heads down there and Bobba is all busy like dying and stuff. The chick is like "maybe we can sell him to someone for credits" but Dengar bends down and bops Bobba on the helmet to get him to look up and Bobba tries to shove a blaster in his face but Dengar thinks for a second then says;

"Hey, I'm getting married. Wanna be my Best Man?"

Bobba drops the blaster and says; " Sure, Ok."

End of story. Good stuff. It's kinda whacky but it also kinda works. Dengar and Bobba have some histroy but nothing really bad, just work/bounty stuff and Dengar has zero friends due to have no emotions and Bobba just has no friends at all so I liked the wrap up. It's what a good Star Wars story should be. Intersting, world building, involves characters we know but also brings out new ones and has that touch of humor to add zest.

Good stuff

This nigga doesn't know about Cortosis lmao.

Nor could anyone watching the show because it wasn't set up properly. What could have worked is an introductory scene where Smilo Ren offers a cortosis gauntlet to Mae and explains that it's very rare and difficult to make and she uses it when assassinating Trinity--and also justifying the fistfight in the process. But no, give Mae Naruto knives and poison instead.

It really doesn't take long to think about plot points first before filming.

Cortosis was around since the 90s. It worked a little differently - if you hit it with a ligtsaber it would turn the saber off but also take some damage so it wouldn't make you completely immune - but it's not something the Acolyte showrunners came up with.
All the Acolyte showrunners did was reintroducing an obscure piece of knowledge without explaining it properly to the audience.

 

[Male Idiot]

Cortosis was an alloy, but it was otherwise not a great armor material.

It shorted out lightsabers, but it was usually a durasteel alloy to give it better usage against blasters.

It was less effective when alloyed, but Kotor era mandalorians used it for their swords so they could fence with Jedis.

 

[Ewan McGregor]

You see, this is another instance where they autistically keep trying to introduce esoteric stuff and deliberately not explaining so that they can *wink wink* at true fans and say "See what little secret we have here, oldfag? normies and newfags don't know what this is, but we do. See how much of a True and Honest fan you, and us, are?"

This, in and on itself, is incredibly gay, but if you take into account that everything else about NuWars product screams at oldfags "You are not welcomed here, this is no longer for you" and desperately and openly try to cater to demographics that were never fond on the franchise nor am currently (women, POC, LGBT but specially anything beyond LGB and especially if not male) the whole thing is

The only thing they've got are confused casuals that buy into the shills, and each time less and less of them.

It's likely that they used cortosis, but given that these are maliciously retarded tourists writing fanfiction to feel dopamine from ragebaiting, they didn't understand it still gets cut slightly and does get hot. Cortosis can get cut or melt if hit enough times or by a powerful enough energy attack.

Not that it matters since lightsabers are both much more able to slice through shit while also being far less lethal than a fucking kunai.

Hey did you know that one of the defenses being used for making the fanfiction yin-yang twins via the Vergence method was citing visions? You know, the anime special that Disney openly said wasn't canon?

There's a reason why hookers demand more money than journo scum playing defense.

Maybe he can exhaust himself into a long-overdue retirement...this company has not been this thoroughly shit in its entire century of existence, all thanks to this cavernous-brained and creatively-bankrupt ass-clown.

Gone are the revolutionary days of Walt, the shaky but competent days of Ron Miller, and the creative resurgence and golden age of Michael Eisner. Disney became a hollow shell of its former self the second Iger decided that the best alternative to rising to meet the competition was to simply buy it...and ruin the pop culture landscape as a result.

If we're lucky, he'll exhaust himself into working on his new writing project.

His fucking suicide note.

....Too dark? I've been up too late and I'm like five drinks in.

"It's canon you chud"
Oh, I guess now canon is important.
