Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

I miss the days when the official SW website promoted the SWEU.
Disney's long since declared the Old Republic era as a no go for writers and they hate to acknowledge races and concepts that weren't introduced in the sequels.
And yet back in the day, quite a number of people wanted to see more stories set in the Old Republic era.

Code:
In what era would you like to see more Star Wars stories told?

The Old Republic        29% 	
The Rise of the Empire  30% 	
The Rebellion           12% 	
The New Republic        10% 	
The New Jedi Order      19%

A thought I've been having lately about the KOTOR remake is how the hell was it supposed to work? Disney's long since declared the Old Republic era as a no go for writers and they hate to acknowledge races and concepts that weren't introduced in the sequels. Were they planning to rename Tatooine to Jakku?
I imagine they're gonna fuck it up no matter how big or passionate the fanbase is towards that era. They will change so much and probably make it worse and more nonsensical

If they ran that poll today, guarantee Rise of the Empire and New Republic wouldn't even crack 15%.

I was more interested to see if they were going to try and make it a modern CRPG or make it a typical run of the mill action RPG. I really wish it wasn't such a pain to make KOTOR run in HD.
 
Funko pop fan (rightfully) screaming about Anthony Daniels being a smug cunt at a convention
Funko pop fans should kill themselves. He didn't call you fat, he just made a joke. laugh along with it and resume the question holy shit.

I was thinking "man I hope he never meets Hamil if C3PO makes him melt down for 6 minutes" but he got there ahead of me.

And holy fuck $40 for the autograph of the Deathsticks guy? We need to bring back bullying nerds.

I never understood the mania behind funk pops. It's not like anime statuettes that look cool and are well-designed, it's not like the action figures that you can pose or play with, it's just a paperweight that at best looks decent, but it's nothing to blow your wallet over.

the tl;dr is they are HR-approved cube figures that are durable and easy to clean. and then autistic nerds got obsessed.
 
I dunno if this has been said before, but Luke and Vader? They are actually

The design of them can be kind of neat. I could understand having one or a couple of them on a shelf. No, I don't own any.

It's collecting a lot of them. A number of years ago at something and stumbled onto people talking about how once you start collecting them you can't stop. Talking about how many they had. How hard it is to stop buying more.

I just don't get that.

I never got their appeal, but that shit about HR-approved probably explains why a lot of people have them. But I'd think the autists would be the first to reject them in favor of actual action figures or statuettes.

That is just something I don't get. I can understand the weeaboo who collects Naruto and DBZ figures so he can have Goku fight Naruto, I can understand Star Wars figure collectors trying to grab 'em all or troop build a small army of Stormtroopers or Battle Droids, I can understand DC/Marvel fanboys collecting figures so he can have Doctor Doom fight Darkseid, I can understand mecha fans collecting figures so he can pose his Gundam along with Optimus Prime, or the military sci-fi kid collecting GI Joe and Halo figures, but max-buying a shit ton of glorified paperweights that you can't even pose or play with just boggles my mind.

The issue with this is you have something like Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman, or Scarlett Widow with ass and tiddy around your cube and you'll be called to HR for making the waddling receptionpotamus triggered in the same way you can't have pin-up calendars or wallpaper anymore. But a funko pop is completely sexless even when its Powergirl - there's no actual ass and titties to offend the feminazi goose waddlers.
Because they have zero articulation and are just a hunk of plastic they are also durable so if they get knocked over or whatever, nbd. They also are stable, so if the cleaning crew need to move them to dust they can.
And for parents of teens you can get some sexless lump of whatever Anime Waifu or you can get the $200 Bondage Pose with tits and ass hanging out.

I hate Funkos and the people who collect them but I understand how they got into the market.

And given the austistic urge to collect I can see how people end up with entire rooms of their house turn into storage for what is meant to be cube clutter.



If it's FunkoPops or nothing on my workspace, I'm choosing nothing. Funkos are the shitty photocopy of Nendoroid models. Nendoroids bother to have Disney Eyes, so I can understand why people think they're cute, but Funko eyes are just dots and the eyebrows do all the expression.
I hate the Nendoroid design, but they are at least articulated and posable so at least those I at least kinda get. Funko pops are just garbage.

Is there any part of culture those goose-steppers don't ruin? Be it video games, comics, movies, or figure collection, it's like the fucking touch of death when they turn up. And to think they're just spoiled brats who'd probably get a conniption if they're taken out of their first-world bubble.

I suppose they make for a decent paperweight in an office space. Enough variants to individualize your desk, but inoffensive enough that the HR lady won't get mad at you.

I'm sure the weeaboo teens would rather have the latter or nothing at all.

My point exactly; which is why seeing people collect tons of them just makes my head spin.

easy, you come out as neurodiverse, dye your hair pink and just screech uncontrollably.
I suppose if someone caught you with an ecchi anime figurine, you can just come out as a trans lesbian and proclaim that anyone attacking you is sexist.

To be frank I never really liked Anthony Daniels from the start and another reason why Disney Star wars gave everyone PTSD that worked on those cursed sequels.
