Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[RockVolnutt]

I'm going to go ahead and confess that Temple of Doom was my favourite Indy movie. The action was wild (mine-cart chase), the performances were great (especially Mola Ram: "Drop them, Dr. Jones. They will be found, you won't! (Laughs) GET NOOOOOOW!!!), and whilst it involved even less actual archaeology than the first it wasn't any less fun.

Like Crystal Skull, things can only go down from here. I heard they planned to replace Indy with a legacy woman/daughter which already sounds stupid since the fucking franchise is named after him.

Since it relates to Disney and I've already mentioned the issue with Star Wars being call "The Skywalker Saga", I wouldn't find them still calling them "Indiana Jones" that unprobable. Marvel Comics didn't even bother rebranding the names of series that got the later batch of diversity replacements. When Riri Williams replaced Tony Stark, the book was still "Invincible Iron Man" despite Riri using the name "Ironheart" which is funny as now that Stark's back, the book is "Tony Stark: Iron Man" to assure people that Iron Man actually has Iron Man in it this time.

The usual justification for it is the same "Nobody will care unless we use big brands and the inbuilt audience/legacy" that they use for the replacements themselves. This raises questions about anti-audience views but they'd openly admit that making an original movie IP will flop so it's better to leech and hope the giant "STAR WARS" gives them some money.

 

[That Chris Guy]

But enough about my Indie rant and let's bring up Star Wars again for a second. Apparently Rian gets easily drawn into arguments on Twitter. He apparently even argued against a guy who posted a quote by Lucas himself, so it was as if Rian was trying to diss Lucas in a way. The end result was him giving a half-assed "apology" then blocking the guy he was arguing with.

Reading through some of Rian's Twitter on somebody wanting to redo The Last Jedi just reaffirms why I never use Twitter nor care for any of its populace.

It feels like many of the pro-TLJ supporters are doing the same thing as anti-Gamergaters did: adopting a blanket excuse where anyone who is critical of their medium must hate it because there are more women in it. Much like GG's discussion was hijacked from transparency in journalism to harassment of women, the same thing is manifesting here. Was the SW community this divided in old EU? I remember some people really not liking the Yuushan Vong or whatever they were called...

If you guys are talking about what I think you're talking about, then its from the New EU. Old EU never had fart fetishists or tumblrtypes (unless you count the rampant veganism in some stories). Closest thing were the occasional furfag species, like those Seloninan otter fags.

The story you're looking for was this one: https://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Join_the_Resistance:_Escape_from_Vodran
It was incredibly gassy and just one example of the many... "questionable" new books and comics that have been released since the Disney buyout.

No it wasn't divided, at least when compared to now. Most hardcore fans of olde just jerked around waxing poetic about the Force, like if Kreia (some nihilistic jedi from Kotor II) was right or not, which was an autistically heated topic. The most divide the Vong caused was when they killed off Chewbacca. That's when most casual readers kinda dropped off from the EU because Chewbacca was "muh childhood". Although I think killing him off was a dumb decision purely from a business and writing perspective since he could in fact live the longest due to not being human and had the potential to appear in far more future stories and games like the droids, and according to Leeland Chee, Chewbacca's death was why Disney canned the old EU, not that I mind since that just means less shit for Disney to fuck with. Anyway, any "divide" was just minor and petty (yet fun) fan squabbling over fanboy shit concerning in-universe stuff. Like Warhammerfags arguing about whether or not the Squats should be canon again. Now of course its a whole different can of worms thanks to SW getting so politicized and divisive to the point where its impossible to even bring up old stuff or have a civil conversation without fear of causing some kind of retarded flamewar.

Edit:

*pun intended

You actually could thanks to standards being lower than ever these days. Just make sure you add a reference to something funny and trending on twitter somewhere in your book. That seems to be the best way to get your book published. But in all seriousness, reading non-educational and non-politically-motivated books (unless they're Harry Potter) is practically taboo these days and that saddens me a little.

He was of the opinion that the first three Indiana Jones movies were Christian Propaganda films like God's Not Dead and A Thief in the Night. Also this guy's favorite Indiana Jones movie (and I shit you not) was Crystal Skull because it was a "Science based movie that anyone could enjoy, including atheists like himself'

How can it be Christian propaganda when I remember being told as a kid by some other kid that Indiana Jones is blasphemous and offensive to Christianity and the Bible?

Anyway, I can easily Disney making something that actually makes the Crystal Skull look good by comparison. But hell, most "fans" are saying they're hoping Disney has Indie drink the fountain of youth and have his younger self be played by the guy who did Han in Solo. To think that's the kind of writing people are hoping for is honestly saddening. But I guess to them its better to have Indie continue his adventures into the 21st century while being played by a mediocre actor then have him stick around in the problematic 30s, 40s and 50s.

Just be glad they aren't using Shia LaBeouf like they hinted at the end of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Does the autism over the Jedi Exile from KOTOR 2 being confirmed as canon female count? The article history on Wookieepedia is certainly interesting.

Given there's a character named Snap, are we sure this wasn't written by Tara Gilesbie? It would be rather amusing if after massacring Harry Potter she moved onto Star Wars (On a related note the only way to save Kylo Ren is for him to yell What the hell are you doing, you motherfuckers!)

 

[RockVolnutt]

Ah yes. Wookieepedia and SWTOR. SWTOR caused quite a bit of drama amongst KOTORfags because of its portrayal of Revan and the exile along with other inconsistencies with the first two kotor games, though most of it was just exceptional individuals arguing that this made "their version" of Revan or the Exile invalid because everyone wanted their genderfluid marty or mary sue playthroughs of Revan and the Exile to be the true versions of them. As for Wookieepedia, it was always the center of more heated fanboy sperging though. Always fun to laugh at their arguments or just enjoy reading up on what was new in the franchise. Sadly any fun one could have there (either by laughing at the Wookieepedians sperg at each other or just reading up on SW news and info) died out after the whole Wikia rebranding into FANDOM shit. "No fun allowed" to the max became a staple of the wiki and it felt as though the place got bought out by Disney. No more nerdy wiki lolcows to laugh at or quality articles. Instead its nothing but over-sensitive casuals, vandalism or shit like this:
https://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gas

I've never played SWTOR so maybe I'm unaware of something but I think it's odd that they break the tradition of assuming "Light side, all missions possible completed" is canon for video games and work on the assumption the four Sith class storylines go pure Dark. Considering the factions work together at some point, it makes more sense for the heroes to be "For the good of the Empire!" types that "Light" options for the Sith give you instead of the usual power hungry bad guys.

I can only guess tradition was broken because it's like the only still ongoing thing from the Old EU, no one is going to tell them otherwise that they can't be their edgy Sith OC even if inconsistent with the narrative.

All it says is that it was written by some fucks named Ben Blacker and Ben Acker
Aside from the odd cartoon-like names, well...

 

[Zbk3VmLfujjzjxBd43tL]

I'd imagine a duo with a name like Blacker & Acker writing a Seltzer and Friedberg-style parody of Star Wars instead of actual Star Wars products.

Reminder that space diapers are a thing in the new continuity no i mean diapers in an official Star Wars products were actually called Space diapers

Yep, Space Diapers™, courtesy of Chuck Wendig. Fucker tries too hard to imitate George RR Martin by going into an obnoxious level of detail to describe every little thing that appears in his books. The start of his second SW book sounds like a pedophile's foot fetish fantasy.

I have gone from being a fan obsessed with buying Star Wars stuff to saying the following: Star Wars should have stopped after Return of the Jedi, sure it meand missing out on the few good things that happened since but fuck it, Star Wars has become a mistake overall

 

[A Useless Fish]

Star Wars to me is now the original triliogy, a couple of stories that stuck in my head, a couple of games, and the Fantasy Flight Roleplaying System based around the original Trilogy's setting. Thanks to that, I've been able to tell my own Star Wars stories, and none of them had farting or bad fucking writing.

Are there any of pics of this shit to go with those excerpts of Blacker and Acker's fart fetish?

I have to hope this is something like a junior novel, something written with 7 to 8 year olds in mind, like Captain Underpants. But then that seems to be most of the new SW novels.

Same whiny "EVERYONE WHO MAKES FUN OF MY SHITTY BOOKS IS A GOOBERGATE NAZI REEEEEEEE!" manchild is also responsible for turning Bea Arthur's character from the holiday special into a lesbian just so he could have something to brag about when meeting jon scalzi and co for drinks at the monthly "bald bearded middle aged writer pretending to be a woke male ally for creepy reasons" meetup

Why, with people like this running the show, I can't even begin to fathom why old and tested money-making franchises fail to succeed.
Must be due to all these judeo-christian fascists hmmmmm

Well, there was also the issue of making Revan the endboss of some questline where he dies like a bitch so the player can steal his pants.
