Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

They never addressed this in future shows. Or the fact that in that episode, Bo and her friends delighted in making innocent people, including children, suffer and die.

At the very least, Vader saved his son AND the Rebels to buy his ticket to space heaven. People wring their hands over whether or not Vader deserved redemption, yet they don't even bat an eyelash at a tribe of Space Wahhabists suddenly becoming the good guys, despite their previous evil intentions.

Honestly, Bo Katan would be a slightly more interesting character in the Mandalorian if she abandoned her armor, put on a tiara/dress and took over from where her sister left off.

Like, the Empire is gone/nothing to fight, now she has to be...a princess Queen? 😱 Alas, that sort of plotline would require decent writers to not become dumb and cringey. & we know those don't exist in the Disney Stars Wars writing groups...

Hard agree. The issue with Bo-Katan is that they keep trying to maintain her status as a badass warrior but she's 1. Very incompetent, and 2. A former terrorist whose only considered a good guy because she has a vagina.

And Dave is a fucking faggot who simps for Death Watch, hence why he made them win and shills hard for Bo Katan, who he's clung too, and then making their aspects the main baseline for like the Children or whatever. He backstabbed George there.

Well, we should've seen that coming. Filoni's heroes in Rebels do to the Empire what the Death Watch did to Satine's government. Birds of a feather, stick together, after all.......
 
Tbh I never thought there would be gay jedi, I feel like the Jedi Order would logically be very "homophobic" because it's purely an identity constructed around excess and letting yourself go.

I used to enjoy Clone Wars because I grew up with it. There were some good episodes:
1. Cad Bane hostage situation
2. Pre-Maul Mandalore plots
3. Ryloth arc
4. Naboo Shadow Virus episode
5. Obi Wan, Anakin, & Dooku held hostage by pirates
6. Geonosis arc
7. Night sisters/brothers
8. Clones being assaulted by droids episode where the clone sacrifices himself (Not the deformed clone one)
9. Coruscant/Padme-Anakin centric episodes

My opinion of the series has changed upon reading the thread. I didn't think season 7 was really good and stopped watching Filoni stuff after Rebels season 1. I did think Maul's character was good except when he gets destroyed by Sidious because "there can only be two".

Edit: I was reminded of this video too, which I really enjoyed:

Since the show was mostly episodic, you could indeed pick things out that were interesting or pretty solid; I shat on it, but reminder I do actually like the concept of Satine for example, even if the execution was mixed. I also did not hate the idea of Anakin having a Padawan to teach, and at times Ahsoka was a fine character.

For all they botched it, I kind of liked what the Zygerrian arc was supposed to do, and Ryloth was one of the better ones in it.

It's just the majority of it is mid to actually dumb, and people tend to memoryhole those parts or try to invent excuses that aren't there since Dave is a shit writer. A reminder that Talsin is not force sensitive and actually used magic, and Anakin was aware of there being ways to bring people back to life on Mortis, since it was only his fall that got memory holed.

It's a thing that you often do as a kid for a lot of media franchises.

my main complaint with her is that she needed to die near-ish the end
that way there's no questions about "where the fuck was she during LITERALLY EVERYTHING" and it helps to sell Annie's issues about losing those close to him

Honestly Ahsoka could've been fine dying in Rebels being killed by Vader as a way to destroy the last attachment Anakin is aware of, but nope Dave can't put his action figures away so time travel is a thing in Star Wars

Have Ahsoka get captured by Vader, have her get tortured by him to try to turn her to the Dark Side, (the way Darth Malak did it to Bastila Shan) then Vader learns he has a son and puts Ahsoka aside despite making some good progress. The OT happens, then Vader's ghost tells Luke about Ahsoka. Luke visits Vader's magma palace on Mustafar, finds Ahsoka half-feral and insane from all the torture, Luke beats the shit out of her, then uses the Force to "cleanse" her mind the way Talzin did with the feral and half-insane Maul when Savage found him. Ahsoka returns to normal, and becomes Luke's first recruit for the New Jedi Order.

There you go. I just solved how Ahsoka could've lived through the OT without being a part of it.

Well how did having someone who knows nothing about Star Wars turn out for Disney?

I took "too steeped in Star Wars lore" to mean that his head is too far up his own ass to make a decent Star Wars show that people will like. Dave Filoni has been a dictator of Star Wars behind the scenes for a while now, Andor is probably the only thing that doesn't reek of Filoni. It's crazy because when you look at all the content in Disney Star Wars I bet Filoni was responsible for about 85% of the lore that exists in Disney Star Wars. He wants to skinwalk as George Lucas but he fucking sucks. Hopefully people have started calling him out for his stinky shit.

Andor takes a big, fat sledgehammer to that, and tells you that the squeaky-clean Rebels were glory-stealing cunts, and that the true "Rebels" who saved the galaxy are backstabbing assholes who have no problems killing their own people for the cause.

I don’t see that. You have to remember that Tony Gilroy didn’t give a fuck about the lore. He remembers the original trilogy, but I’m sure that anything outside of that was ignored. He was depicting how revolutions develop with Andor, using Star Wars as a lens to explore the concept.

To me, it’s an examination of the dirty part of revolution. Look at the American Revolutionary War. The narrative is about militia rose up at Lexington and Concord, or General Washington crossing the Delaware. Less praised are the tarring and feathering and property destruction of British tax officials. The treatment of British loyalists are not given mainstream attention. There was the spying and criminal skullduggery.

The Sons of Liberty were doing what could be considered terrorism, but they were part of the foundation that led to the establishment of the United States of America.

Luthen’s Axis is Star Wars version of the Sons of Liberty.

Speak for yourself, that's one of my favorite parts of the Revolutionary War.

Also, the British were the enemy so it makes sense that we would fuck them up but in Andor the rebels are killing each other and backstabbing each other. What's up with that?

Spanish Civil War didn’t ring any bells? Tony was exploring all revolutions.
