Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Übertroon]

Still can't believe the post ROTJ disney lore has the Empire starts attacking itself because the Emperor who planned to live forever has a failsafe in case he dies where he depends on his officers blindly destroying their own worlds for a dead emperor

The Empire is completely defeated within a year and flees into the unkown regions after the Battle of Jakku
The New Republic then decides to dismantle almost its entire military
The imperial survivors form the first order where Snoke magically appears and seizes control.
The First Order builds a enormous fleet, a enormous super weapon, a enormous army, and starts subverting the New Republic without the New Republic leadership taking it finding out or taking any information about it seriously.
Luke's jedi academy is destroyed when Kylo shoots up the school because snoke gave him bad dreams.
And so after a decade with not much happening you get TFA.

I can craft a better backstory at the top of my head.

You don't even need to. Despite some of the specific stories being terrible, the splitting of the Empire, the warlord factions and the Remnant having to adapt to new times to keep power were great ideas and the new canon could absolutely have just touched up some of the shittier parts.

The SW Hotel is already public news but instead of getting upset about the prices, people get upset that it might feature more aliens than minorities.

The absolute state of nu-fans.

[Godzilla@1989]

I’ve seen worse.

 

[Creep3r]

Yep. Its the same trailer from the private screening at SW Celebration 2019 from April. Mostly with clips from the first episode. I was kinda hoping it would be a new trailer, but oh well. People are naturally gonna go ga-ga over it without even realizing what's in store. I also find it amusing how the majority of comments still think that's IG-88. But regardless, it does amuse me that some of the comments are saying that it looks better than IX or the other Disney films.

I just wish this guy wasn't the top comment.

Do you know when D23 will have actual information of IX?

 

[Creep3r]

Do you know when D23 will have actual information of IX?

Here's everything I do know.

Clone Wars got teased and it featured a clip of Ahsoka vs Maul... The show will premiere only on Disney+ in February.

Mandalorian takes place 9 years after ROTJ. Premiers in November.

The Kenobi series takes place 8 years after ROTS and will feature kid Luke.

They were bragging about the Mexican Kyle Katarn show a bit. He's called Caisian Andor or something and it will also feature the nihilistic droid from RO again. It will come out in 2021.

Nothing new on IX so far.

They released an official shitty timeline showing commitment to not retconning any of their crap any time soon.

This might actually put a damper on any hopes of a time travel retcon in IX to undo Disney's mess. Especially since the mexican Kyle Katarn show is still in the works. Then again, its scheduled for 2021, so who knows.

Fucking hell, they're actually doing an Obi-Wan show. Disney+ really is where all the shit that Disney doesn't have confidence in gets relegated, isn't it? Ms. Marvel and Moon Knight are also getting Disney+ shows.

Yeah we talked about it a few days ago. It brings back Ewan McGregor, takes place on Tatooine and is basically the leftovers of the cancelled Kenobi movie. No official release date has been given yet but much like the Mandalorian it will also be a Disney+ exclusive. These shows might be good if they steer clear of Disney shit (although Mando is already aiming for that later on) but their existence depends entirely on the success of Disney+. The whole reason they probably went all out with this shit is because Disney desperately wants to be the next Netflix, but there also a few saying that Disney+ is basically where Disney sends everything they have zero confidence in.

Edit:
Also not really SW-related, but in the now recurring tradition of bad news for Disney this summer, Stan Lee's daughter has spoken out against them and Marvel over how they treated her father and has shown support for Sony.

 

[Godzilla@1989]

The whole reason they probably went all out with this shit is because Disney desperately wants to be the next Netflix, but there also a few saying that Disney+ is basically where Disney sends everything they have zero confidence in.

There’s two reasons why I’m incline to agree.

1. A lack of content. Disney is foolishly not including the popular Fox library, though I suspect they’ve already considering them a black sheep minus X-Men. Fox has some acclaim adult titles that would help Disney+ in international markets such as Braveheart, Titanic, The Thin Red Line, Life of Pi, The Revenant, and Moullin Rouge! But since they are more inclined to have their family content only, they’re missing a big opportunity here.
2. They’re launching it a the wrong time when the streaming market is starting to get over saturated with Netflix wannabes as more and more studios start pulling their content out of Netflix, which forces them to rely on making over-expensive original content that that ranges from terrible to above-average. Pretty soon, Netflix and all of the wannabes will collapse since people would become getting sick of getting the same shit at random prices.

I thought it was the rumor mill going crazy like they did for ages about anything related to Obi-Wan. I'll say that bringing back Obi-Wan might work better as a slow paced show, but there are 4 million ways to fuck it up including Disney+ just straight up not living up to how much money they pump into it, which is a distinct possibility. Rebels jumped the gun on Obi-Wan and Maul's meeting, too.

All I know is that the show will only last 6 or 8 episodes, but they might consider giving it a second season since Disney seems to do this now without even considering whether a show will even be a hit or not, much like they did with the Resistance cartoon.

Regardless, I hope they give McGregor a good show to work with because the man worked his ass off to become the most popular incarnation of Obi-Wan.

 

[Adamska]

Yet the optimists in the audience still cheered. Everything was silent until the first twi'lek appeared which got a few happy yelps, then IG-88 appeared and everyone started screaming and cheering and saying "IG-88 WOOOO" completely oblivious to it just being another Disney knockoff, and that even if it was the original, Disney would just rape it to shit. When will people learn that Disney-Lucasfilm isn't interested in giving fans what they want? Most of that hollow nostalgia pandering shit is from the first episode which is the only one directed by Filoni so far, and after that it'll just be a spiral descent into more sequel-focus.

My question is this: Are they even actual fans, or paid employees or sycophants told to cheer at X because it's a selling point they want to hammer in? Because I've seen companies do that too, and I can't see all that cheering genuine outside of wanting their turnsies in being the "access" people given how dead Star Wars is to the masses.

I'm not trusting a fucking thing that involves the Mouse until the executives go through a great purge.

EDIT: BAHAHAHA THEY COULDN'T EVEN DO A FUCKING TRAILER FOR THEIR BIG BOY MOVIE THE FUCKING DUMPSTER FIRE IT BECKONS

 

[Kiwi Lime Pie]

Clone Wars got teased and it featured a clip of Ahsoka vs Maul... The show will premiere only on Disney+ in February.

It looks like my suspicion may have been right that the new dirty dozen of TCW episodes will largely be "What (and maybe who) Ahsoka did after she left the Jedi" -- especially with this trailer clip that looks like something from her showdown with Maul during the Siege of Mandalore right as Order 66 begins. In short, nothing of much value for anyone apart from the die-hard SW and Ahsoka spergs.

EDIT: BAHAHAHA THEY COULDN'T EVEN DO A FUCKING TRAILER FOR THEIR BIG BOY MOVIE THE FUCKING DUMPSTER FIRE IT BECKONS

I suspect the reshoots must still be in-progress to not have an (updated?) trailer for Episode IX at this event. Had the reshoots been complete or focused on minor/inconsequential scenes, one would think someone in Disney/Lucasfilm would cobble together a trailer from the completed stuff to get fans interested in the film. It certainly doesn't look good, huh?

 

[Dogs can't look up]

Looks like Disney+ will nab tens of millions of subscribers off the bat, analysts projecting over 100 million in five years (out pacing Netflix success). I don't shit on Disney like most in this thread, but I really doubt those numbers. Most of the content looks to be stuff everyone has already seen / has had access to on Amazon / Hulu / Netflix for years, and the original content seems spaced out over years.

I don't personally give a shit as it's just another corporation trying to cash in on the escalating streaming market, but I would be shocked if they hit the numbers these analysts are drafting.

 

[Krokodil Overdose]

Regardless, I hope they give McGregor a good show to work with because the man worked his ass off to become the most popular incarnation of Obi-Wan.

He's the most popular incarnation only because the competition hated the movie and died.

 

[Vault Boy]

Rebels jumped the gun on Obi-Wan and Maul's meeting, too.

Probably didn't help that their final duel lasted about as long as an eye blink.

I get it, they were old and not all duels have to be extravagant, but they couldn't have made it last more than a few seconds?

I remember that episode having an obnoxious amount of Ezra in it, so apparently not.
