Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

First off, Sony owns Spider-Man: Far From Home. Second, it’s because Disney is intellectually lazy and greedy as hell so they buy their competitors, mostly because their CEO is a fanboy asshole. Third, the new Star Wars movie is not as hyped up as the last two because TLJ pissed off many people, Solo bombed, and the new trailer looked bland as hell. Plus, reshoots are happening for two months for a film coming out in December, which is not a good sign.

Also, I just had a thought, how funny would it be if Amazon bought Disney, this giving Jeff Bezos ownership of Star Wars?

Remember when corporate monopolies were a bad thing? Good times.

But it's Disney, man.... Disney, they're family friendly and totally not a greedy soulless corporation.

I've now associated Disney with shit because of what they do with the IPs they hold.

Like, it's the biggest turn off for me now, and it was actually their obsession with doing live action reboots of their old animated movies that did the final push. Star Wars just started said push.

And fuck the middle-aged moms that prop that lazy strategy up too.

Opening Day for The Last Jedi is going to be a day that lives in infamy among nerds and geeks. It's already become one of those "Where were you when this happened?" kind of things.

I fully remember not being hyped about the movie at all. I had seen The Force Awakens ... And the novelty of that movie wore off for me almost immediately. None of the trailers for TLJ sparked my interest. I didn't really care. I only went to see it because my husband wanted to see it.

Welp. TLJ made me care ... But in the opposite way that Disney had intended. I remember it being a morose movie theater experience; packed theater, but could hear pindrops the ENTIRE time. It was a dead audience for almost 3 fucking hours.

Then, the credits rolled. I turned to my husband and said (almost yelling) "WHAT IN THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH?"

In short, this was me on that night:

I was laughing at the end of it along with my dad and uncle. The part that made me burst in laughter was when Rose went full retard on Fin and stopped him from sacrificing himself from saving the Resistance.

I remember being tired by the end of it. I remember the cringe Rose line....

Other than that, I don't remember being let down, it was just a disjointed experience...

I kinda giggled at some of the subversions, that would piss off Star Wars fans. But, when I reflected on certain things: it just wasn't a very good film.

With that said, The Phantom Menace was FAR more infamous than TLJ. TLJ, initally, everyone seemed indifferent or confused. The backlash grew about 2 months later.

The Phantom Menace backlash, after the first week, was quick and REALLY intense...
 
If they use the time travel plot to erase the force awakens and the TLJ from existence I am all for it. But that's just being incredibly optimistic.

Oh boy! Can't wait to buy a toy of the failed Palpatine clone that died like a bitch making him even less intimidating than whiny emo boy Kylo ren!

I'm warming up to the idea of the time travel ending as their way of "repairing" the broken franchise. For all its faults, it's their honest concession that they fucked the entire sequel trilogy so bad that they are willing to write off all the billions of dollars they spent on it in exchange for pretending that it canonically never happened and returning things to the way they were, more or less, before they started the entire sequel project. It must be a hard and bitter pill for them to swallow, and there is some schadenfreude to derive from that.

An alternative situation would be George making the sequels from 1999-2005 and then Disney making the prequels instead.

A few new things to mention:

1: Oh boy... More HoldoxLeia shit and even more upcoming comics about them...

2: Matt "I wish I were gay" Martin from the Lucasfilm story group has hinted on twitter that the Mountain Troopers from IX might be appearing at Galaxy's Edge soon. Not surprising really.

Presumably after IX airs. Strange that they picked a design for these guys that strangely draws more queues from the OT rather than the sequel's usual smooth and shitty Apple-aesthetic for FO troopers. Makes you wonder if they're gonna retire the nu-troopers in favor of these guys to have something that looks OT-ish but doesn't forsake their shitty immersion rule to have everything in the park be made up of OCs/sequel shit.

3: Its weird how all the Knights of Ren have japanese names except Kylo. What's up with that?

4: I've been pondering for a long time why Yellow Yoda looked so familiar (aside from being a Yoda donut steal) and I finally know why.

5: IX will be called "Dawn of Skywalker" in Japan.

6: Finally, there's been a surprising number of edits and memes making fun of Sith Troopers, most of it mainly being recoloring them brown and calling them shit troopers.

The Knights of Ren costumes look like they need some color to them. The all-black coloration works for Kylo with his more simple design, the different textures of the clothing and silver helmet highlights look fine.

The Knights of Ren costumes are a lot more busy with complex belts, armor pieces and other details, but it all just blends together and looks like a garbled mess of black, grey and bits of silver to me. Some armored areas with muted colors or certain articles of clothing with some distinct color variation would go a long way.

The designs don’t really look that interesting to begin with, but the blandness of the color really stands out to me.

I'll never forget the moment when I watched Carrie Fisher fly through space like she was Mary Poppins.

How in the holy mother of fuck did that horseshit make it to the final cut? Why would they piss all over her memory like that?

I literally blurted out, "What the FUCK are you doing?!?!"
Then I realized that I was surrounded by a bunch of little kids whose parents were all giving me the stink eye. It was an awkward walk out of the theatre after the movie was finished.
