Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Ghostse]

Isn't this the same shit as the Boba Fett show or all those crappy Sony Spider Man villain movies, like fuck off. It would at least be interesting if the "worse guy" was Maul but they'd never do that.

I was just going to make the reference to Booba Fatt, where we instead of a bounty hunter kicking ass and wearing a crown he forged from the blood and bones of those who opposed him, we got the Cuckfather and Mod Scooters

It boggles the mind really. How can everything post-Disney be so subpar? They can't even get decent artists half the time.

In fairness the entire comic business is also doing its level best to implode itself.

 

[Nameless One]

Retarded story shit to do with Vader as a character, Filoni fanfic tier but great art, still pales in many ways to Dark Horse's run.


But remember when comics actually gave you additional and meaningful stories for characters that ended too soon? Supplemental, ties in perfectly into canon, very delicate and simple approach.

Introduced an iconic "new" shirtless design, gave a meaningful backstory to Maul who may as well be the Sith's Boba Fett, who Maul was, how Palpatine groomed him, his body is actually red, all that. And its just badass. No filler. George Lucas should have acknowledged this comic tied up all loose ends. Reviving Maul was one of the biggest mistakes and downplayed this great comic.

I will never stop missing Jan Duursema.

I will never stop missing Jan Duursema.

She was the best of the Dark Horse artists, and whenever she was the illustrator for a comic, you knew it was gonna look great. Part of why Legacy was so good, because she was the only one, so had great consistency.

I wish we got another video game where you can scan people for Bounties like in Bounty Hunter.

Also have you guys seen the push for EA to make another Battlefront?

 

[Nameless One]

I don't care about EA Battlefront and neither does EA (and neither should you). Battlefront III is already existing and we found everything we were seeking thx to the wii version leaking with the campaign.

Both EA deboot games are glorified tech demo turds even compared to the PSP games gameplay wise and will never ever be BATTLEFRONT. It is just Battlefield star wars edition but even less impressive.

Anyways, some kinography. MauLer if he was good.

 

[Grave Ghost]

I want Battlefront 3 to be made either by the team behind the Sagas mod or Red Orchestra 2. It would be even cooler if we could get a game that was Ready or Not but you're a stormtrooper...

 

[Screamer_2]

Those Battlefront games were just way too casual. The idea of dad getting home from work, playing for a short time on the couch with their kids and it being easy was just not a good long term strategy. I've been playing FPS games and Battlefield forever and the game was just too meh. Looked great though. The crazy thing to me is that they spent so much time and effort building a digital library of Star Wars digital assets that they never used it to make lots of other content.

I honestly thought it was like a tech demo, where they went to locations, they scanned props, gathered all the sounds as a starting point. Nope, they made a really simple FPS game where not even scoping adjusted accuracy of the guns.

Dude looks like he's taken more than his fair share of deathsticks. He needs to go home and rethink his life.

I honestly thought it was like a tech demo, where they went to locations, they scanned probs, gathered all the sounds as a starting point. Nope, they made a really simple FPS game where not even scoping adjusted accuracy of the guns.

I looked at gameplay of the 2017 BF2's Sith Trooper and compared it with my own gameplay as a Dark Trooper in BF1 classic; it's funny how the classes they tout as elite has the same firepower as one of the classes that you can pick up right off the bat. The Sith Trooper's special ability, that being his rifle's quad-blaster, is matched by the Dark Trooper's Blast Cannon in terms of power and one-shotting foes.

They basically made you work more for less. Although I suppose the visuals look nice.

I'd like a game with BF2 2017's visuals and the gameplay of the classic Battlefronts. That'll be my ideal Battlefront III. Oh, and they have to add the shit from that BF3 trailer that was released a while back, where you can pilot a ship from ground to space.

Oh, please, another hippy bullshit about how empire-building is bad and unnatural.

Never mind that 99% of human history is people building empires.

Never mind that the Republic was so unnatural it needed psychologically castrated wizard-knights who recruit via Ottoman child tax in order to last for so long.

Never mind that most of what the Empire was doing, was done by people who lived through the Republic and saw its flaws.

And again, we're supposed to see it from Maul's POV, the dude who's trying to create a criminal empire of his own?

What Palpatine was trying to do with Stormtroopers, Maul tried to do with criminal thugs. Maul even executed a Cliffs' Notes version of Palpatine's Clone Wars plot on Mandalore, what with him putting up the criminals as the bargain-bin version of the CIS and the Death Watch as his version of the Clone Army. He even betrayed the leader of the latter to take it over, just as Palpatine had the Jedi be betrayed by their Clone Army so that he could take over, and both of them took over using the laws of the land, legally assuming power.

It's kind of funny hearing the "fascist man bad" message from Darth Maul of all people; a dude who staged his own "fascist takeover" of Mandalore, transforming what was a pacifistic, economy-driven state, to a warrior state with his own Supercommandos acting as his Waffen SS, complete with them putting horns on their helmets to idolize him.

 

[Nameless One]

This is why I had to decanonize TCW as nostalgic as it is to me, just to not have an aneurism because all it did was derail our amazing Clone Wars Multimedia Project lore. Most of the storylines are retarded. The show was never even properly FINISHED, yes, SEASON 7 is still missing over 10 arcs and most of them would have been a lot better than what we got. Now they repurposed those dead better storylines like Cad Bane dying to Boba Fett in a standoff into shittier scenes like the Bad Batch.

The only canon Maul is his EU comic backstory. He never revived. He died in Episode I and the film itself makes it clear.


Also, for any TCW fans, Ashoka should have died in season 5 like it was intended. The CAVEAT though is none of the characters in TCW behave like their film and established counterparts either and thats the only reason more people and proclaimed "OT fan" fags love the cast. So my wish for that alternate story path is in vein because TCW was already extremely messy in season 5. Anakin should have been more angsty and rash, not just some Gary Stu master. If I wrote TCW I would throw in more dangerous situations THAT HAVE LASTING AND MEANINGFUL EFFECTS ON ALL CHARACTERS INVOLVED, and show the struggle of Anakin handling his Padawan and even losing Ashoka to Plo Koon for a while, and gets her back through improvements. Then a tragedy strikes when Palpatine conspires with Dooku and devises a hit on Ashoka to make Anakin a potential pawn, and then Anakin's character growth becomes the ROTS Anakin we know and also serve as a very small additional detail on how Anakin was able to go through with beheading Dooku (its stupid but it can be pulled off without any references or fanfare that Filoni gives) or we can just do a fun non-canon alternate version of Revenge Of The Sith that allows Anakin to have multiple drives and struggles and more passionate or intense duels reminiscent of the original trilogy, Dooku's battle would be Anakin rushing in alone and cutting comms AFTER being exiled by the council and demoted after Ashoka's death to Dooku. Anakin would take Ashoka's place as the exile for his failure as a master and lead him towards the ultimate path of darkness, this "point of no return", and Palpatine's silver tongue would make more sense to get through to him after seeing how rough the Jedi order can be. Padmé and her children would be used as leverage and a possible chance of redemption by Anakin's master Obi-Wan who goes against the Republic as a brother to Anakin. You see more of their dynamics which were implied in IV rather than a pure ideological good vs evil story, and the downfall would be in a boiling form throughout episodes rather than a fast paced showcase the film gave. This is all just an extremely autistic rough draft of my ideas (that I have made on the spot) to make TCW into something that obeys the material that came before but also crafts a new tale out of existing characters just to prove that TCW can work well as a standalone if characterizations and lore details were on-point. An ACTUAL loveletter to the prequels, OT, EU, and just the Star Wars porn that would hit good. Like a remake/revision of TCW and the EU itself during this period. A "what if the clone wars multimedia project wasn't fucked over and some of the aspects of the prequels got a revision too". Many fans have their own way they'd do things differently and I figured I could share mine here since there's nothing else worth talking about in Star Wars right now.

ROTS Anakin was Vulnerable, afraid, and wrathful. Ironically the only episode where Anakin behaves as his true film counterpart is that stupid story arc where he gets extremely jealous of Padmé's old separatist flame.

And also, I would cut/alter the youngling slaughter scene. They would be gunned down by clones instead to emphasize that these guys are irredeemable monsters. To make it have added whiplash you'll see soldiers "interacting" and playing with younglings a while before this happens, which I take from some of the Republic comics. No chip bullshit, a play on how artificial most of the clones are as "people", and "comrades". I feel it was intentional to contrast these proto-fascists as robotic and cold as the droid they killed. No buttbuddy bullshit with clones. Only a few special clones who exhibited more humanistic traits would get to be something like a friend to a Jedi or his team. The empire after order 66 in this story will have more details like the clones arresting/enslaving the Utapauans in the background of ROTS. Maybe it'll be slower paced. Whatever works and creates a greater narrative using ideas and plotlines that Lucas and all the magnificent EU writers provided.

The problem is, we had that tight-knit lore back during the Prequel Era. The Clone Wars era was over, sealed, done. It had a complete lore where we knew everything that happened to everyone worth mentioning in that era. But the problem is, the critical audience rejected the Prequels and continued to pile on hate against Lucas. A key criticism was that the story wasn't direct enough; the good guys and bad guys weren't so clear and well-defined. So Lucas sat down these kiddies like morons, and TCW was made, so that they could easily digest the politics and ideas of the Prequel Era in a way that dumb twats who can't understand what a false-flag is could understand.

TCW literally exists because PT-haters wanted a more clearly-defined Clone Wars with easy-to-understand heroes and villains. And they got it. Many voices who hated on the PT loved TCW. People like the Nostalgia Critic who just take it as a fact that the PT was bad, loved TCW. You have endless numbers of video essays about how TCW "redeemed the Prequels". In reality, TCW took the themes of the PT (they were about as complex as a young adult novel) and dumbed them down so that child-level minds could understand.

The reason why TCW doesn't fit in with the Clone Wars Multimedia project, is because, aside from the retcons, it's literally the PT for PT-haters, and the tone is completely different. And guess what? It worked. So of course, Disney keeps Filoni on even after they nuked the Expanded Universe, and his preferred tone for SW is what sticks from Rebels to Mandalorian, with Gilroy's Andor being one of the few exceptions. Once the Sequels tanked, Filoni's style of Star Wars dominated the franchise, and why would it not? After all, a lot of loudmouth voices say he "redeemed" the Prequels. So Disney put him on the task to "redeem" the Sequels too, giving him free reign to write in the era between ROTJ and TFA.

TCW, just like the Sequel Trilogy, are the Star Wars works that PT-haters deserve and itched for. And in many cases, they liked it. So I suppose it's what you'd call "mission accomplished", even though the franchise is losing steam. Like I said, once people put Andor behind them, it'll be back on the defensive.

Genndy's clone wars was always superior, but a Yuuzhan Vong episode and Yoda's adventures on Kashyyyk would have been epic.

This is one of the most bafflingly idiotic ideas for a story I have ever read from Disney and that's a real accomplishment. This is like some shitty fan fiction shit.

Well, Filoni himself decanonized TCW from the EU so nothing to worry about there. TCW show and the Clone Wars EU stories can't exist together because there's too many contradictions and plot holes. I can't agree more though, the Clone Wars stuff we were getting in the early 2000s alongside Episode 2 and 3 were amazing. I'd take just Shatterpoint alone over the entirety of Filoni's show.

'member Maul?

I for one can't wait to see Disney continue to ruin another silent, stoic antagonist by giving modern writing rooms a chance to yap-don't-show. (Maul never resurrected those episodes are bad feverdream)

There's more than enough media from the Canon and the EU about Maul. I don't know why we need another Disney Maul slop in the first place.
