Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[HeyYou]

So now JJ's saying that TLJ didn't derail anything and that everything's been going as planned. The Emperor was always meant to come back and Daisy Ridley claims that the Emperor won't be a vision, but the real deal.
Here are some tweets with leaks and a lot of Disney cringe.

Also, some questionable possible leaks perhaps, may be true since he was partially right about the early stages of TFA. But take it with salt.

That sounds more like the movie would end up being after all this hype over huge shit happening, but he got an insane amount wrong in the original "leak" so I'm taking it with a grain of salt. Who knows, though, Palpatine not even being in the movie despite the huge hype surrounding him would be hilarious. Same with "bro, just broadcast the story to the galaxy despite the fact that it's still insanely stupid they think he's a myth".

Just want to reiterate that Darth Maul will almost certainly be in Episode IX. He may have died in some childrens cartoon, but he was last seen alive in a movie and the movies are more canonical than the cartoons. If they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel then Darth Maul will be reunited with Palpatine in this movie. A thing like that goes a long way for the Star Wars fan base, it will be huge and the goodwill will undo The Last Jedi.

Palpatine possesses Maul and fights Rey and Kyle with TWO double lightsabers.

Talk about Double Trouble!

Having Palpatine return sounds promising because he was a villain who always had an ace up his sleeve and was always pulling the strings behind the scenes. However, you have to be very creative to bring him back in my opinion. Having him appear as a clone won't cut it, nor would it make sense to appear via hologram like in the Empire Strikes back. I do like the idea of a Sith Force Ghost but it sounds too alike to the Jedi Force Ghost and won't make Palpatine unique.

 

[Godzilla@1989]

I honestly feel like they’re going to have Palpatine randomly shoved in as a way to justify all the ST nonsense. Even though he has had no building in the last two.

If there was a plan, why did they shelved all the spin offs then?

That's not how Disney Wars works. Everything is Canon in their warped view no matter how small or insignificant it is and there's no room for retcons unless it happens in-universe, like bringing back Ahsoka's ass. We've posted info about this in the thread before and Disney even published their shitty official (cinematic) timeline at D23 which includes that shitty kids cartoon. And bringing back Maul as a cheap cameo character doesn't fix Disney's bs. It'd just be cheap nostalgia bait like bringing back the Emperor, which they only did after they realized they had no major villain left after killing off that gold pussy Snoke. It hardly fixes TFA's and especially TLJ's shortcomings. Another issue is that Maul's return in Solo wasn't indicative of an appearance in IX, its that originally Solo was supposed to be its own trilogy, with Maul serving as its main antagonist, but after Solo flopped at the box office, they cancelled the trilogy, effectively nullifying Maul's relevance. Although I'd be all for them bringing back Maul for this movie. It would be hilarious seeing how they try to make that work.

 

[Relic 31]

I know, Darth Maul shows up as a clone and Kylo Ren has to fight him while Rey fights hundreds of Palpatine clones in a “Matrix Reloaded” Neo Vs Smith style fight.

After she slays them all she then kills the Maul clone that has Kylo on the ropes, only for a final clone chamber to open to reveal... evil Sith Rey, who is then possessed by Palpatine.

Also probably Anakin Skywalker clones too, why not.

 

[Dom Cruise]

Speaking of documentaries, I found this semi-documentary video on the fall of Lucasarts and 1313. Really hits home...

Good video, thanks for sharing.

And Kathleen Kennedy looks like a witch, I just get bad vibes looking at her.

I think a lot of these feminists are probably into witchcraft (some of them in fact are very open about that) and there's a good reason people used to burn women like that at the stake.

Here's the cruncher:

Even if this return of Palpatine was the ultimate goal they had in mind from the get-go, it would still be a ridiculously terrible, outright revolting idea and an absolutely shameful amount of creative bankruptcy.
Of course, they have to claim this asspull is the ultimate goal of their trilogy, has been all along and enough dipshits are going to eat it all up.

All I'm seeing is that in a trilogy, they managed to make 3 movies that barely connect to the other two and all fail to pick up on the plot that came before it.
TFA has a massive, unexplained lore-change where the New Republic suddenly stopped existing.
TLJ does just whatever the fuck it felt like, accomplished almost nothing, but managed to cut down any overarching plot strand.
IX will now introduce completely different characters, a completely different goal, a completely differen villain.

This is not a trilogy, this is an anthology-project with movies loosely based on a similar foundation.

And now they bring back Palpatine, just as a final twist of the knife in Luke's (and Mark Hamill's) back.

The whole "transmit Luke's story to inspire hope" bullshit is so stupid. Why doesn't the galaxy know about Luke? He's a decorated war hero!
Doesn't the New Republic have any schools? Don't they have news broadcasts?
And how exactly is Luke's story inspiring after all the shameful things they changed in his story and character? "So, he failed to really kill the emperor, then failed to recreate the Jedi order, then failed to train his own nephew, planned to kill him in his sleep, failed to protect his pupils from his madlad nephew, failed to mop up the mess he created, went into hiding, failed to come to the aid of his friends until he force-skyp-called Kylo Ren, where he failed to convince him to stop being evil and then poofed into dust."
Holy shit, sign me up for the Rebellion right this moment.

This is so massively incompetent, thank fuck I stopped caring after TLJ, I can enjoy the flames that much more.

 

[HeyYou]

Rey training the next generation of the Jedi is just the icing on the shit cake. Thanks, Disney.

 

[Zaryiu]

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 still remember the rage, pain, cringe, frustration, second-hand shame and disgust i felt then

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

So Keri Russell has a history with Poe. They better not make the same damn mistake like they did with Laura Dern. Hopefully she survives. But watch. She'll take a bullet to save his useless ass.

 

[Zaryiu]

Are they fucking for real?

I fear to see what Marvel "Superheroes" comics look like if a property worth more that those (I assume Star Wars has/had a higher monetary value than Marvel "Superheroes" ) gets this treatment

 

[Intelligent Calcium]

Rey training the next generation of the Jedi is just the icing on the shit cake. Thanks, Disney.

If the leaks are true it's gonna be hilarious. Literally taking the old stinky white male's legacy away from him, then handing it over to Rey Sue.

 

[Antipathy]

Rey training the next generation of the Jedi is just the icing on the shit cake. Thanks, Disney.

I wonder what kind of training she can give?
"Just do it, and you'll get it on your first try. Just like me!"

 

[Gar For Archer]

And Jon Favreau confirmed that unlike Netflix, you won't get an entire season of a show in one go, instead you'll only get 1 episode at a time but how much waiting is involved between episodes is anyone's guess.

I always thought it was kinda dumb how Netflix drops entire seasons. Part of the fun of watching a new show is discussing and speculating about it with other people, which you can’t do when the whole show is available day one. That would also be a huge selling point to keep people subscribed for the duration of a show’s run. Like, what’s the financial incentive to dropping whole seasons at once?

 

[Wyzzerd]

Why doesn't Disney just crank the stupid all the way up to 11? Just make the whole movie one colossal joke! It may be the only way to save it.

Clone everyone, even jar jar, uncanny valley cgi pod people for the dead actors. Put them all on an arena planet, put like 9 death stars in the sky. Have a giant space fight with everyone flying millennium falcons and resistance bombers. On the ground everyone gets a lightsaber, even jabba the hutt and ewoks get a lightsaber! Except for jar jar and finn, they get to have a cream pie fight, because they are a joke. This all goes on for 7 hours.

If you can make it to the end without gouging your own eyes out you get a sticker with Rey's slack jawed face and the Disney Star Wars logo on it.

 

[Ihavetinyweewee]

The mistake with Laura Dern(Holdo)was that her character existed to begin with. The same issue with Rose, DJ, Zorra, black bow girl, and pointless droid accessory. Too many pointless characters that take away screen time from your main leads.

Its not that Holdo died. Personally, I would have prefered to have Laura Dern have a meaty character in a different story. But, instead she is meaingless narrative blackhole for screen-time....

 

[Godzilla@1989]

Here’s the shit they show at D23 and my god, it looks awful.

 

[Stab You in the Back]

Here’s the shit they show at D23 and my god, it looks awful.

Funny how a scene featuring two suns setting over the horizon has zero lens flare, but then a scene that takes place indoors and is lit entirely by interior lighting has non-stop lens flaring.
