Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Aaron McIntyre]

Jesus fucking Christ skeleton Crew was awful. It's painfully obvious they made it for kids and I was cringing out of my skull the entire time.

Star Wars is supposed to be for kids though, that's not a problem. This might be a controversial take, but I far prefer a new Star Wars thing being unapologetically childish to something that's trying so hard to emancipate itself from the tone of the franchise like Rogue One or Andor. I'm obviously not going to defend Skeleton Crew (or watch it, for that matter), but hey, Disney finally learned who their target audience is. Ten years too late, I'm afraid.

Except the best Star Wars media by far (The Clone Wars) managed to avoid being childish while still appealing to children by being badass and showing the horrors of war. It really pushed the boundaries of what could air on Cartoon Network and is way more mature than this garbage. This is some Sesame Street type shit with cutesy muppets and shit. All the aliens looked fake as hell too. I fucking hate that for some reason everyone decided the shitty Muppets from Return of the Jedi should be the default look for the franchise's aliens.

Easy, people stop traveling to it. Hyperspace is mapped by a ship traveling from one point to another. If people stop traveling to a planet, hyperspace maps don’t get updated, and people don’t trust the outdated maps because who knows how far away that planet might be as it moves across the galaxy.

Yeah but they found the stupid Disney jerking themselves off droid on the planet he doesn't know about. It's fucking retarded.

Objectively yes.

 

[Fatsuit Shinji]

The leaders of the CIS never noticed that the guy who was calling the shots to them via hologram looked a lot like the Senator from Naboo and then-Chancellor of the Republic wearing a hood 3 sizes too big

So why would the Kaminoans notice?

I figured Sheev was using his Sith powers to do the Jedi mind trick to obfuscate his appearance and voice when doing those connect calls to CIS. The hood just made it easier as only part of his face would be visible. Only thing Lucas didn't do was having Palpatine said the words and doing the hand gesture Obi-Wan did when he was doing the Jedi mind trick.

This but unironically. When i was a kid i never thought about the dark stuff and death of the prequels, just saw cool shit happening and was content.

Not enough people go there, and someone removes it from the galactic map. Which is what happened to Kamino.

Well, yes. Star Wars is an old-fashioned fairy tale/morality tale for kids. And by "fairy tale", I don't mean the ones that you were told as a kid in the 90s or 80s before you go to bed. More like the ones that parents in the 1800s told to kids to scare them straight and keep them on the straight and narrow.

Remember kids, if you let your dick do your thinking for you, it will burn in the fiery pits of hell along with you!

Only thing Lucas didn't do was having Palpatine said the words and doing the hand gesture Obi-Wan did when he was doing the Jedi mind trick.

Sheev only ever talked to the top crop of CIS leaders, the puppet-masters and corporate heads who worked in the shadows running the big corporations. He never talked to their official government leaders outside of Dooku and Grievous. That, and I figured they were in on the joke. Sidious promised them "peace" before Vader sliced them into smoked deli meat, and he would only be in a position to promise something if he was in charge of one side, and the Sep leaders were in charge of the other.

Or is it too mean to George to point out that he was never really big on consistent realism on the small points of his ebic space opera because no one is because it's not worth it and supremely autistic to obsess over like you do

If you watch when the TF guys are being marched onto their ship on Naboo at the end of TPM, Nute Gunray does a double take at Palpy as he walks by.

So Nute Gunray knew but he kept keepin on keepin on the entire rest of the trilogy, spent a fortune on legal fees in his trials between TPM and AotC, and blamed Padme and not Palpy because... George? Was it like pottery or something?

Padme was the one who put Gunray away. Palpatine even tried to dissuade Padme from returning to Naboo. Also, it's likely that Palpatine HELPED Gunray get back in power after TPM. Even after all those trials he was still in charge of the Trade Federation. Most likely due to some support from the Chancellor. So no shit, Gunray would never hate Chancellor Palpatine, because the man's done nothing against him.

The more I listen to you people complain about these movies, the more I discover that you guys remember even less about them than I previously thought.

Let's try this: the Stormtroopers in ANH are terrible shots, True or False?

The trials took place in some canon young adult book published in 2019. Only one of the trials (all for the same charges) actually took place to completion, the last one, he was acquitted. if you were the know it all you present yourself as you would know that. Muh moobies

By the way, Palpy telling Padme not to go back to Naboo has nothing to do with what he did or didn't do for Nute Gunray in between his arrest at the end of TPM and his still being around heading the Trade Federation in AotC

I don't need to read more of your posts to confirm for the thousandth time that you're severely autistic and twist yourself into self-defeating knots to show everyone that you are never, ever wrong about the slightest detail of the star wars. Especially the ones you didn't know about before someone told you

Which means it was written long after TPM and the entire PT came out. It came out long after Lucas left. Ergo, like TCW, it's just more retconning.

And you're mad that a movie that came out in 2002 doesn't match with the details from a book that came out in 2019? Wow, holy retcons, Batman! That's like being mad that Revenge of the Sith, which came out in 2005, doesn't mention Ahsoka Tano at all; a character who came out in 2008.

By the way, Palpy telling Padme not to go back to Naboo has nothing to do with what he did or didn't do for Nute Gunray in between his arrest at the end of TPM and his still being around heading the Trade Federation in AotC

If Padme never went back home to Naboo, Gunray would've remained in charge in Naboo and would've never gotten arrested. More than likely, the government in Coruscant would've paid him to leave or given him some concession to get him to leave Naboo alone. It was Padme marching on her own that led to Gunray's capture and humiliation. The very same reason why he wants her dead.

The fact that you try to pull this whole "Gunray in trial" thing is desperation on your part. Gunray was angry at Padme, not Palpatine. Padme defied Palpatine's advice and went to Naboo herself, rallying her remaining forces and the Gungans, and arresting Gunray. So no shit, Gunray would have no reason to hate Palpatine for that, but every reason to want Padme's head on a spike.

 

[Screamer_2]

I was bored during the first episode of Skeleton Crew. Very generic.. I know this is overused, but literally it was like you told an AI to plot out the most generic young adult plot. "Tomorrow is a test to determine the rest of your life." It also has that shit where they can't write girls as girls. Have to give them more male personalities and the guys are scared wimps compared to how brave the girls are.

The second episode when they actually go away from their planet was much better and I enjoyed it. I will watch the next episode. Intrigued about the mystery around where they are found and that planet.

Apparently in episode 3 we meet one of the kids two mothers... yikes.

No, more like as Nute is being marched off, he sees Palpy walking towards the heroes and Nute just says to himself "wait, that guy sure looks like a lot like Lord Sidious. Nah, can't be."

Obviously, Palpy helps out behind the scenes, either with influence or giving out/calling in favors, or bankrolling Nute's legal bills to get Nute and the TF off the hook so he can use them to start a civil war with the end goal being the destruction of the Jedi. As far as we know the only Sith lords Nute meets face to face (and not via hologram) was Maul on Naboo, Dooku on Geonosis, and Vader on Mustafar.

And it's entirely possible that Nute never makes the connection between Palpy and Sidious and the double take was because Palpy had just been elected the new Supreme Chancellor. But it is an interesting double take he does as Palpy walks by him and doesn't even spend the half second to look at Nute.

Hollywood always had a problem when writing female characters. Most of them are just obnoxious men with tits. Back then, it worked, because the actresses are usually sexy enough that it gets men hard to see a bad bitch assert control. Except now, they try not to make it sexy since that's sexist. So the audience members who want a badass bitch are turned off, the people who want a wholesome female character are also turned off. The only people who like it are the feminists who use said characters as self-inserts.

mad lol

i said it doesn't matter because these little meaningless "errors" don't matter except to people like you

i pointed out that you are the supreme autistic star wars awkshoolly sperg but you don't know what it took me 2 seconds to find

If Padme never went back home to Naboo, Gunray would've remained in charge in Naboo and would've never gotten arrested. More than likely, the government in Coruscant would've paid him to leave or given him some concession to get him to leave Naboo alone. It was Padme marching on her own that led to Gunray's capture and humiliation. The very same reason why he wants her dead.

see this is where your autism blocks you

padme went back to naboo because it's a conventional heroic action story and the heroes always go back. it doesn't matter what palpy said or didn't say to padme about going back. there was literally no other possible outcome or it would have been a subversion bigger than rian johnson could ever dream of

the point just flew over your house. as it always does

you're sperging about meaningless details and muh realism with your endless i know everything and am always right about star wars, then you throw realism out the window when it suits you and don't even know stuff about the specific topic you're being autistic about. this is all you ever do, your standards are what suits you always being right in the moment, and you don't know things that you should know if you are the greatest star wars lore sperg ever

it was george inserting a little comedic moment which is fine because it doesn't matter to anything whether nute gunray recognized him or not. it's for people who noticed it to grin at. it fits in with nute gunray's character being a feckless boob who can't think his way out of a paper bag

but nute wasn't the only TF/CIS guy who saw palpy hologram multiple times and also knew what senator/chancellor palpy looked like, it kind of bends suspension of disbelief that no one noticed but again who cares? unless it's an equally immaterial internet argument about muh realism

 

[LORD IMPERATOR]

Then why the fuck would you include that in a discussion about Nute Gunray and Palpatine? Literally, it makes no sense to include it.

No I didn't. The realism is that Gunray is mad at Padme, not Palpatine, not anyone else. It was her decision to march against him and capture him on Naboo that led to his arrest. He doesn't give a fuck about Palpatine or anyone else, because as far as he was concerned, Padme wronged him.

but nute wasn't the only TF/CIS guy who saw palpy hologram multiple times and also knew what senator/chancellor palpy looked like, it kind of bends suspension of disbelief that no one noticed but again who cares? unless it's an equally immaterial internet argument about muh realism

Most of those guys were corporate overlords that control things behind the scenes in the CIS. And at most, outside of Gunray, they had ONE scene with Sidious on the holo telling them that they did a good job before Vader appeared. Literally, they spoke at the last minute with Palpatine right before Vader came in to slice them into deli meat. At that point, there was no need for secrecy. They were going to die in a few minutes anyways. And a corpse can't talk. Not to mention that by the time of that last zoom call, most of the Jedi were dead, and Vader was already on his way, so the threat of them snitching out to the Jedi is gone.

Prior to that, the CIS council talked with Dooku, not Palpatine. Then when Dooku lost his head, they spoke to Grievous. Only Gunray and his Neimoidian buddies talked with Palpatine before that last call, and Gunray had no motivation to rat him out. Especially when his hatred was reserved for Padme, not Palpatine. And he was working under the assumption that once the war was over, they would have peace.

After watching countless hours of Acolyte dissections about how it fundamentally throws out morality I was thinking about when the EU had their morally ambiguous dickheads


Everyone was sucking off the Grey Jedis back in the day and how cool it was they didn't have to worry about being good and worrying about morals

Was their any star wars media that shat on the grey jedi point of veiw?
