Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Strangolapreti]

Now comes the bigger question: do we need a mark hamill thread? Will the rey palpatine movie, planned to be directed by a muslim acktivisit that wants to make men feel embarassed, end up being even worse than the ackolyte or we reached peak cringe with the show made by weinstein's former assistant?

 

[NIGGO KILLA]

Just gonna go ahead and make the painful obvious joke about the cancelation of the acolyte

Also this puts High Republic into a multibillion dollar flop, since the books, comics, and now this show has flopped despite the massive amount of money to either shill it, remind people of it existing, to drive botnet, and to silence criticism.

Their only hope now is for David Cages game set in this universe to be a massive hit!




Looks like David Cage will need to stop masturbating to Ellan Pages nudes to make a guud game to save women in stat wars!


This spin-off universe is FUCKED

 

[I'mma real anime gurl]

Good thing Lego didn't make any sets for the Acolyte right.....Right?

Ghostse I think the problem with the Chinese not buying into star wars is because SW was a cultural phenomenon in the 70s that changed how Americans view movies and entertainment. Star Wars was the first of it's kind and it led it to be fondly remembered modern culture. But at the same time America was making a new and more inclusive wave of film, Chinese were starving and being oppressed. Marvel hit a sweet spot with the Chinese. They could come out and have a little fun(but no blood or skeletons!), and they had just enough freedom and money to buy plastic garbage, which they never had the chance to before the 2000s.

I think they just don't know what it is, and even looking back they wouldn't understand why it was so loved. But none of this would matter if Disney would actually make things for their own country instead of relying on foreigners to bail them out when they make low quality cash grabs.

Every single time I hear Mark Hamill speak or see his Twitter feed, it makes me hate him that much more.

I don't know how I could hate him any more than I did when he and his wife tried to bully their son's girlfriend into getting an abortion.

 

[Oliver Onions]

This reminds me of that awful Watchman series a while back.

I thought you were talking about comics because I honestly forgot that Watchmen TV series existed. Didn't it have a black female Rorshach or something equally retarded?

OT: As the most non-Star Wars person imaginable, I find the continued implosion of this franchise extremely fascinating to watch. Of the new stuff I've only seen TFA (bland but inoffensive,) Rogue One (charisma vacuum and embarrassing fan service) and ROS (bewildering incompetence). It's hard to believe Disney have spent so much money to fumble what should have been a reliable cash cow, and they refuse to pull up.

Currently waiting to see how Star Wars Outlaws turns out. I personally hated Fallen Order and Survivor but the concept had potential; Outlaws looks much, much more boring.

It's also in a saturated market of wuxia films even if it was achieving its Platonic ideal.

ELLIOT PAGE, YOU FUCKING BIGOT!
The retard sexist fr*nch with no writing skills is going to masturbate to the nudes of this stunning and brave dood and it's fake abs, whenever he likes it or not.

I legitimately forgot about that particular incident.

‘The Acolyte’ Canceled: No Season 2​

https://deadline.com/2024/08/the-acolyte-canceled-no-season-2-star-wars-disney-plus-1236044233/

Hi, it's me, the Modern Audience. I got your back. LOL!..

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? No. I thought not, It's not a story the jedi would tell you or Disney apparently.

I have. He was murdered in his sleep by his apprentice. The first time he really slept in about a decade and his breathing device was destroyed by force lightening. Learn to Fairy Tale about that space wizard IP, Disney.

 

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

They can still save this, guys! Here’s how the Ackolite can still win! There’s a respected author in Milwaukee who could continue it as a novelization!

 

[Milkshake Sniffer]

Disney is probably in danger of losing money overall on their Star Wars franchise acquisition at this point. How many more bombs, streaming losses, failed parks, and other ventures can fail before they admit defeat? Their just canceled show had a $180 million budget for eight episodes and that doesn't even include marketing.

They already did. Or they never technically started making money on it. They got fucked on merchandising, TROS barely broke even and Solo flopped, the EA deal turned out to not be profitable, and all of the TV shows being Disney+ exclusives means that how much they actually make is pretty much unknowable, but their numbers haven't been good.

We will never get to see the actual numbers but it's clear that it's been a money pit for Disney. Being a financial success would be the ultimate "FU to the chuds" but no matter how long and hard you search for an explanation of how Disney is making profit out of this and you'll find nothing but cope and dissembling.

Clowns post raw box office receipts and production budgets as if Disney gets the entirety of those receipts and the production budgets, one, turned out to be accurate and two, were the only costs. There will always be omissions such as the $4.05bn purchase cost and the ROI necessary over the years to justify spending that money there and not somewhere else. The costs of running Lucasfilm rarely if ever gets mentioned. Even in the shareholder info the Disney put out to fend off Peltz they had to use partial information and lie (remember the footnotes disclosing that the wording didn't mean what the words said!).

The TV series are pure loss. Disney makes an accounting entry claiming money goes from D+ to LF but that's a fiction. D+ doesn't make any money to transfer. The recent claimed operating profits include Hulu which offsets the D+ losses and ignores the servicing costs of the $11Bn debt built up by D+. As a core component of the D+ package SW should be having a significant part of the D+ losses attributed to it, not profits.

To date I've seen nothing that credibly shows even that the receipts from the Disney SW films have exceeded production budgets (as shown in the tax submissions) and the cost of acquisition and that's just tragic.

You would think holding this many Ls would mean you lose your job. But no

 

[Raiken]

squid game guy now learned english for nothing, thanks biggots!

 

[Necrosan]

At this point a Jar-Jar centered TV show has more potential than anything else they can write.

They should've just kept going, keep producing garbage and saturate the franchise to the point it kills the awful streaming service. I want more Star Wars stories, I want to see a series based on Watto, I want to see a hidden camera show that follows the Cantina band. I want to know the story of the alien who got shot by Han Solo in his introduction. Just feed more garbage to the nerds that will eat it up regardless of its quality.

It's likely they never did. Not just on Star Wars but across all Lucasfilm properties. They never factored in the purchase price of Lucasfilm when they reported box office earnings.

I'm not surprised they cancelled the Noobolyte, because it seemed to be the breaking point for even a lot of Disney Star Wars fans. For the sake of my faith in humanity I really fucking hope it was because at least one person at Disney realized how it would look for the 'Force is Female' crowd if their least popular show, written by Harvey Weinstein's' personal assistant and starring her own wife, actually got a second season.

This reminds me of that awful Watchman series a while back. Because it was lead by a black woman in 2020 BLM era, it got 9/10 reviews from critics, audience score be damned. However, no one seemed to wonder why it was never reviewed for a second season, despite being reviewed so well. I suspect most of the lefties who rated this 10/10 are just quietly going to be quiet about it now.

I won’t lie, I didn’t hate that Watchmen show. It wasn’t art or anything near it, but it had a few “huh, that’s interesting” moments for me, like the Hooded Justice reveal (even if it was kinda nonsensical), and Jeremy Irons plays a good older Ozymandias. It’s just too bad it was bogged down by a thru-line of “whites bad”, even though at the end the evil cabal should really have had some black people in it too, just to show the lines between good and evil ain’t clear cut. (I know that sounds really amateur, but I’m not the one getting paid millions to be a writer, they could flesh it out better!)

On the subject of Mark Hamill, what happened to him? I loved him in Star Wars as a kid, did his mind get broken somewhere along the way? Did 2016 make him lose his marbles?
