Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Sneedmiser]

Speaking of which, do we know why that got canceled? I know it happened around 2009, years before the buyout, so that must be unrelated.

It was internal troubles at pandemic combined with EA being EA and LucasArts shifting their focus in the late 2000s. The PS2 got a couple of Battlefront spinoffs and the time, and TFU came out in 2008, but besides that Star Wars games really slowed down around that time.

All that really came out afterwards were TFU2 (45 minutes of gameplay in a 3 hour game) in 2010 and TOR (an increasingly mixed bag) in 2011.

Speaking of TOR, if you ever want to scratch your Star Wars game itch and feel like playing with other people, try out the Star Wars Galaxies Emulator.

I once said in the MauLer thread that RLM is responsible for this state of affairs and I got laughed out of the room. A lot of people really don't believe there's a correlation between Disney Wars awful, self aware writing and the criticisms made in those videos.

Don't be surprised. It's like what happens to capeshit fans when you point out that their comic book superhero makes no logical sense. These people are RLM fans, and they didn't like it when you insulted their husbando by daring to say that RLM's criticisms led to Disney SW's shitty writing.

It's been said earlier, but it was bizarre how much worship Filoni got at that time by the 30 and 40 year old prequels haters.

Guys like the Nostalgia Critic who were well-known as Prequel haters loved TCW and even Rebels. TCW was tailor-made to appease that crowd.

Well RLM got what they wanted, and now they want to act like they're shocked and saddened that this happened. I think deep down those faggots know they're the reason we're here, but it'd take giving them a swirly to make them admit it.

They'd lose what little fandom they have if they admit the truth.

And, to be fair, at one point Dave Filoni was a sacred cow that you could not DARE to criticize, and The Clone Wars was what "fixed the Prequels" (despite being a modern shitty Saturday morning cartoon)...and now he's being exposed as the glorified shitty fanfiction-tier writer he's always been. So perhaps eventually the rest of (what remains of) the fanbase will wake up to RLM's fuckery, too.

More than a few have awakened to the fact that RLM's work was trash. It will only grow with time, to the consternation of the people who support RLM.

The prequels sucked. The sequels sucked.

Nobody on youtube is stopping the billionaires and megacorps from making better movies. They make original products no youtuber has yet talked about and they also suck.

If you want to hold Disney and George Lucas blameless and blame internet critics then you will be perfectly at home posting on r/starwars so you have no need to be here lol.

I thought some of RLM's point where good just has the ending multiplier point they had for TPM. Where the climatic battle had four sides shown (Anakin, Jar Jar, the Maul duel, and Padme taking Theed's palace) while Jedi had three (Lando in space, Luke vs Emperor on the Death Star and Han and Leia on the ground). You get what I'm talking about.

Though I thought it was retarded for them to complain that the tools on the Lars homestied are in different places then they are in ANH considering that in 22 years, they could have just reorginzated things.

Then by that metric, the originals would've also sucked, because they had many of the flaws people blame the Prequels for.

Marketing to kids? ROTJ and the Ewoks.

Sloppy dialogue? Actors like Harrison Ford and Alec Guinness were not fans of the material they were made to work with. Alec had his character killed off because he thought Kenobi's sayings were worthless "mumbo-jumbo", and Ford was famous for saying "you can type this shit, George, but you sure as hell can't say it!"

Whiny protagonists? Luke was whiny in the first two films.

Politics and trade/commerce disputes? They talked a lot about the Imperial Senate only for it to be worthless once the Emperor fired them all, and there was even some cut scenes of Biggs trying to tempt Luke to join the Alliance because the Empire was nationalizing commerce in the core worlds. That practically drove a lot of people to join the Alliance.

If the Prequels sucked for these reasons, you'd have to tar and feather the originals to be fair.

One of the dumbest things they complained about was that there was no clear protagonist, when it was clearly Qui-Gon Jinn, whom the film followed everywhere until his death. Then there was RLM complaining as to why the Jedi Council didn't join Jinn and Kenobi on Naboo, when the movie made a point to say that the Council didn't believe Qui-Gon about the Sith until the dude killed Jinn in combat.

I didn’t mention any metrics retard.

The point still stands. Most of the shit people accuse the Prequels of were also leveled at the OT by people who were adults when the OT came out.

Some people say the plot of Star Wars was dumb. Some people also say the plot of TLJ was dumb.

Thus, we now know that both movies had smart plots.

You failed to get my point.

The fact is, the OT and the PT had similar flaws because the same idiot made them. TFU and TLJ don't even have the same flaws considering that they were made by two different people. Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams had different moviemaking philosophies.

 

[Hunter Hearst Helmsley]

Whatever flaws the movies do or do not have are not caused by YouTube reviewers.

You are absolutely retarded if you think that Hollywood morons don't take cues from popular social media.

The showrunners of the Acolyte were calling out The Critical Drinker and Nerdrotic publically.

Hell, a number have been made into Comic villians.

 

[Hunter Hearst Helmsley]

You’re a fag.


If that has persuaded you to have sex with a man, is it my fault that you’re gay?

You're not close to being as funny as Hollywood Hulk Hogan. Try being cleverer and less retarded.

How about you just stop blaming fans for what Disney fucks up, and the rest of you just generally improve this incredibly soy filled thread all around?

Nah, Ill continue to blame those Gen X dipshits who spent years taking a dump all over the prequels and Ill blame Disney.

You don't like it? Tough. Kys.

 

[Hunter Hearst Helmsley]

Poor widdle Disney!!!

RLM aren't fans lmao, never were.

 

[Hunter Hearst Helmsley]

You understand blaming criticism from non-fans for what actual creators decide to do is EVEN DUMBER, right?

The reality is, they were fans, as was pretty much everyone at one point in time. For all the pathetic whining nerds like to do about Star Wars being a nerd thing....it was mainstream as fuck. It was one of the original summer blockbusters. It was normie central.

It's great that a few little kids liked the prequels and made a meme culture out of it, but they sacrificed the broad appeal to play to the kiddies and that is why TPM was disliked. Luke was whiny as a young adult because he was being overprotected by family as part of a coming of age story in which he STOPPED being whiny because he grew up right there on screen. Anakin was whiny because he was a little kid who doesn't stop being a little kid during TPM and then grows up off screen. It was a mess, and it's only enjoyed by people looking back with childhood nostalgia glasses and manbabies who liked the fight scenes.

Sure you're not mad just because we don't love Mr. Plinkett? TPM was only initially disliked by Gen Xers who were mad that the prequels didn't rekindle the magic of the OT that they watched as small children
As it stands TPM brought in more dough than Return of the Jedi. Normies parents and their children loved it.

 

[Hunter Hearst Helmsley]

Virtually every film critic and fan rating aggregation site puts TPM on a significantly lower tier than the OT, and always has. The monomaniacal obsession with RLM is a sign of your internet addiction and bubbleification.

TPM's box office and entire existence are owed to the OT hype setting it up, which it immediately fumbled. The only saving grace is the prequels don't fumble things in such a way as they are unrecoverable, it took Disney (Yes, megacorporations are in fact responsible for their own actions you drooling retards) to do that.
