Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

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.
He is known for being a douche. He is quite possibly the rudest of the entire Star Wars pantheon. Like when Kenny Baker hates you....that right there is telling.

People like Temurura Morrison and Ming Na are chill af tho, very kind and patient with every fan. I've heard similar things about Sam Witwer, Cassandra Peterson, Alex Kingston, Johnny Yong Bosch, Charlie Cox, Veronica Taylor, and the entire X-Men Animated Series cast. They're all very kind gracious people who understand their fans.

Like even if you don't view the video you can pretty much guess it wasn't a "oh hes having a bad day" type of situation with Daniels. Hes just a jerk. Plain and simple.

Maybe if you talk to him about that possessed motorcycle movie instead of his endless role of Queerbot 4000

It does a lot of work to piss off a corpse.

Part of the issue is his contract said he'd only talk about Star Wars and Queerbot 4000 and being he's like 80 and in the modern day of everything being recorded, I can't say I blame him.

Basically he remembers and probably get a refresher on his Star Wars stories. He also knows by this point which ones he's allowed to tell and which he's not. There is also probably some legal shit he's signed with Disney about muh brand. When you go off script there is a chance you'll slip up and say some shit you're not supposed to say - especially not in CURRENT YEAR.
 
Motorcycle film? What's that

iirc it's actually possessed instead of being a vampire?
 
Back to the new Star Wars trilogy. It is interesting to piece together the stories we hear. A few weeks ago when Steven Knight left the project. One of the stories was that he was clashing with KK over her wanting it to be a trilogy over a stand alone film. Now it's supposedly the new guy and episodes 10-12. So I assume there was maybe truth to that rumor or it was inspired by things not yet announced.
 
I cannot believe that KK is evil enough and incompetent enough to just not pack her bags with her ill gotten untold millions. Ego and vindictiveness are fascinating things.

In her position, I'd have retired years ago and lived it up on some beach. No, her only desire is to debase George's creation to the point where it will never recover.

She's 71 years old. If they make a Rey trilogy, what is the reasonable timetable? I assume 2027 based on the fact the Mandolorian movie is film and that's not until 2026. So even if they manage to get them out every 2 years. 27, 29, 31. She'll be 78 by the time they finish. Why wouldn't you retire and enjoy whatever good years you have left.

Maybe she enjoys developing films and is in a position where there isn't the pressure to actually make the films. Maybe Star Wars isn't that high on the list of things that Disney needs to unfuck like Marvel.

At best, maybe she will just want to get the first Rey film out, have it be well received then fuck off. Blame others if it goes to shit like her sequel trilogy. Which started on a well-received, albeit flawed first entry.

I understand the guy doing the film is meant to know Star Wars, so that's something. As opposed to Hollywood constantly hiring the wrong people who don't know the IP.

Off topic, but I was reading yesterday about the One Piece expert the live action series hired. Some American soy who makes youtube videos of shitty theories and misunderstands the lore. He came out recently with Trump derangement that a character from 20 years was based on Donald Trump. With retarded theories that where he lives, Drum island, was based on Drumpf. Utter batshittery nonsense.

It's just worth noting the mindset of putting one's own interpretations, thoughts, theories and ideology above the source material. Which seems to constantly happen by the people Hollywood hires for the IPs. I have to assume it's someone coming it, claiming to be an expert to executives who don't know the material. Then spouting off all the DEI, all the woke politics shit to get themselves hired.

So the Rey movie is becoming the Rey trilogy and the new numbered trilogy at that?

Best part is they're already admitting it's yet another remake of the OT with Rey playing Obi-Wan, presumably to a powerful BIPOC ala the original Rey movie concept. Yasssss! Doubling down in Current Year is so hot!

On a serious note, is there any known reason for why Lucasfilm isn't able to get any of these cancelled movies made? Are they just not trying to make them or is there someone or something preventing them from going into production? It seems weird that they keep announcing new projects then seemingly do nothing with them.

This is common. Studios approve and cancel tons of projects, most you never hear of. This just Star Wars so every time Kennedy queefs there is a 3-page spread in Variety.

Thing is they keep announcing stuff but no official cancellation has been made public for any of the obviously developing hell dwelling projects.

like how Aliens vs Predator was starting work really soon since like, twenty minutes after the comics came out

That was also back in the day before creators got wise to Studios camping properties.

So back in the 60s-80s if they optioned your story, it was becasue they were going to make a movie. In the late 80s studios realized they could just buy the rights, keep anyone else from making a movie, but never do anything with it. So there are now "play or pass" clauses in contracts.

Marvel when they sold the rights of Fantastic Four to Fox did so with a weak version of the contract language which just said that Fox had to make a film. Which is why there is a horrible low-budget Fantastic Four movie that everyone tries to pretend doesn't exist because the contract only said Fox had to MAKE a film, not actually release it, nor set any sort of lower bounds on what they could make.

Marvel quickly wised up and now the language is (I forget the phrasing that's used) "Make and release a feature film consistent with a major motion picture from that studio every X years or rights are considered abandoned" aka. if are putting out 200 million dollar movies you can't put out a 2 million dollar indie and have it count.

This is why you see Spiderman films at least every five years - Sony gets to keep Spiderman movie rights forever but they have put one out (iirc) every five years. As long as they do this, Disney can only cope, seethe, and dilate.
But apparently the Mouse fears the Samurai and they have largely bent the knee to get Spiderman into the MCU; letting spiderman appear in MCU films in exchange for financing Sony's spiderman films and letting characters like Tony Stark appear in Sony films.
 
"Rey's the key to all of this. If we get Rey working, because she's a funnier character than we've ever had."

At this point, Lucasfilm is playing with fire. There are at least nine Star Wars movie projects currently in development, and at least two of them revolve around Daisy Ridley’s Rey.

A new report from THR calls “Rey” Lucasfilm’s “coveted weapon” for the future of Star Wars. Is this a joke? Have they not learned, from the last trilogy, that the fanbase does not care about Rey? Kathleen Kennedy is running the Star Wars ship into the ground.

Simon Kinberg’s recently announced Star Wars trilogy, rumored to be Episodes X, XI, XII, will indeed revolve around Ridley’s character; the scavenger-turned-Jedi is also said to lead director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s solo project. However, THR says that other projects currently in development will be using Rey well.

She is the “key to the franchise’s next turn,” one source tells THR. “[Rey] is the most valuable cinematic asset, in some ways maybe the only one, Star Wars has right now.”

Rey making a comeback in “several” Star Wars movies is a bold move on the part of Kennedy, considering half the fandom is still recovering from the last trilogy. There are so many character that can be used in the SW universe, but they’ve settled with Rey? This could backfire on them.

Not including Kinberg and Obaid-Chinoy’s projects, there are at least seven other ‘Star Wars’ movies currently in development over at Lucasfilm, from directors James Mangold, Dave Filoni, Donald Glover, Taika Waititi, Rian Johnson Shawn Levy and Patty Jenkins.

its like Kathy saw the chuds saying the solo movie is getting quietly cancelled and she said "I'll show the'! I'll own the chuds!"

Par for the course for a woman who probably has so much dirt under so many in Hollywood that she is untouchable (and probably has deadman switches to release everything if they try to Epstein her)

This is common. Studios approve and cancel tons of projects, most you never hear of. This just Star Wars so every time Kennedy queefs there is a 3-page spread in Variety.

That is normal, what isnt normal is the quantity is announced them cancelled projects. That isnt a sign of good studio health and leadership.

Using my powers of prophecy to predict that said Rey movies will never see the light of day, regardless of how hard they try to shill it. Maybe just wishful thinking, but it doesn't take much market research to figure out that no-one wants to see whatever star wars hookum these directors throw together.

It could go either way for this one, I mean, they did convert a solo movie into a whole ass trilogy afterall. With that said, its getting hard to pretent even among liberals and sequel trilogy "enjoyers" that people arent clamoring for more Rey/Ridley. There is barely any Sequel era content being made because even Lucasfilms knows that its nowhere as close to how popular the first two are and it doesnt help that Rian and Abrams didnt leave much for expanded universe writers to work with anyway.

As for me? I hope it is made, I take more sick pleasure from watching this franchise die than anything else Disney has done with it.
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?

Well, they did allow "remasters" of games of which arent canon to the main continuity so I dont think canon is the real issue to them. Unless they declare that it is canon now, wouldnt surprise me.
