Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

The Nothingness said:
So based on the trailer any ideas of what the big red laser is? Starkiller Base 2.0, Death Star 3.0, or some other superweapon that gets destroyed in the final act?

I heard that they might be scaled-down axial superlasers mounted on the regular Star Destroyers, so Eclipse 2.0. Or this thing.

latest

At least it'd be following up on the Death Star tech memberberry from TLJ.

The answer is the guy who designed it thought it would look cool.

I'm pretty much much with you though, it looks dumb and definitely not like something from Star Wars; for some reason they're trying to introduce Gritty Realism in to the franchise and it doesn't belong. One of the couple of things I hated about Rogue One was the fact the imperials were using a dull mudane APC-looking thing to transport the Kyber crystals, especially when they got a lot of the look and feel right in other places. Its a fucking galaxy far away, why am I seeing a normal tracked vehicle? Why didn't it hover? Or have legs? Or at least be pulled by some cool alien creature?

I have to point to the first Star Wars tabletop rpg introduced treaded war vehicles (not sure if the Imperials in that also used treaded vehicles but maybe) as cheaper alternative to speeder-type vehicles and Clone Wars used by Rebels since they often couldn't afford or obtain better stuff so their is a precedent but yeah their was no logic in the ST use of treads

No I get it. In universe, easier to maintain. And as a movie, easier to block and shoot.
Its still horseshit. They could have at least given it legs.

I hope Rey does end up going evil. It would at least make this trilogy compelling. TFA was alright, TLJ was terrible. If Rey ends up evil and cuts Chubawka in half or some crazy shit at least it would be worth watching.

In any case it will probably make a billion dollars.

Rey going evil could be interesting. So Disney will not be doing that.

And yeah, it'll nose above a billion on just inertia & nostalgia I have no doubt. I just don't think it'll go more than that. Should have just paid the man, Iger.

That would be cool. No, I suspect Rey would be more peachy in this movie to the point where no matter how much of an antagonist she comes across in the movie, she would still be revered as the main hero.

Clownfish did a video on GSE hotel info and pricing rumors. Given the bait and switch in regards to park interactivity i wouldn't expect the hotel to fair much better.

Here is the article for pricing rumors https://wdwnt.com/2019/08/pricing-r...otel-experience-at-disneys-hollywood-studios/
Cabin for one? Pricing for a 2-night/3-day stay starts at $3,300 for one person, or just over $1,000 per person, per day. Cabins do sleep up to five passengers, so there’s also the option of maxing out the cabin occupancy for a relatively cheaper price per person. A cabin with five passengers would cost $7,200, or roughly $1,440 per person, for a more feasible $480 per person, per day price range.

It's been surprisingly calm. The Mandalorian trailer looks serviceable, but it's been revealed it won't have any OT characters and will transition into sequel era content (barf). The droid that got everyone hyped up because they thought it was IG-88 turned out to be a dumb ripoff. They also announced out to the side, super late into production, that the protagonist is going to have a female lead alongside him and it's going to be Mulan's (original) actress. It's not woke or anything, and I love her Mulan role, but it's funny they don't think a woman could sell this show by herself so they have macho bounty hunters and Mandos do it instead.

Then we get to Rise of Skywalker stuff. At first we thought there wasn't going to be any new footage at D23, but it turns out they presented a clip show and that was just released to YouTube. It might genuinely be the most boring thing of all time. The first half is straight up footage from the other movies, the rest is pretty boring. The most noticeable part of the trailer was how much they put OT shit in it instead of their new stuff. The Y-wing is back, what looks like a Corellian Corvette is there, and there was a shot of a whole bunch of Star Destroyers. OG Star Destroyers. Palpatine has voice over in the trailer, and all the cast members said he's straight up back, so he might not be a ghost or holocron. There was also a shot of an ebul Rey and Vader breathing, but ebul Rey is already confirmed to be a fucking vision so it's likely Vader is the same way. Overall, bland and forgettable and almost certainly misleading, but it's really apparent they are pulling way, way back on TLJ's """changes""". The only other noteworthy thing was a supposed leak which revealed the movie is completely by the numbers, Kylo dies or something, and Rey trains more Jedi. Also, Palpatine isn't in the movie according to the leak, he's in some holocron that was the true and honest reason for Kylo's downfall. So straight up invalidating his entire backstory from both movies.

There was also the TIE Mauler in the Empire at War game which looked pretty bizarre but was fun to use since you could splatter filthy Rebels with it.

There was the T3-B, too. And the T4-B for that matter, but all three of these vehicles were in Empire at War, which made up a bunch of stuff. I'm pretty sure Legends went out of the way to say tracked vehicles were pretty much completely useless, too. Funnily enough, TIE Crawlers made it into official canon because of some shitty CYOA book.

You should play the Imperial Civil War mod, by the way.

Disney really messed this up. It is rather obvious they did not go into this trilogy with a real plan, otherwise they would not have hired Doofus to direct TLJ. At the very least, you could have expected bland but smooth, slickly presented entertainment. Instead they've churned out disjointed, nonsensical pablum which was obviously designed by consensus, via various different groups and workshops and focus groups that didn't really coordinate, and was overseen by people with the personalities and imaginations of Human Resources directors and petty, overly officious bureaucrats.

It really says bleak things about the future of movies, making decent Star Wars movies should have been literally the easiest thing in the world for a major studio like Disney to do and yet, nope...

The identity politics stuff may be what finally kills the movie industry, I fear the future is movies like Captain Marvel, the novelty will quickly wear off and people will stop seeing them, but the Soviet style vibe of modern corporate culture will make it impossible to change direction and they will just keep bleeding money until one day they simply run out and shut down.

Maybe that's hyperbolic, but it remains to be seen, I feel like Marvel comics is going to be a good test, if that company really is allowed to be bled dry by SJWs then that doesn't bode well for any media company.

You might think the almighty dollar will win out in the end, but you'd be wrong, fear is more powerful than the love of money, nobody will want to be the person to stand up and say "enough already"

It's not just entertainment though, SJWism if it's not stopped is literally going to destroy civilization, it's the purest form of evil the human race has ever invented, it is literally anti-human.

EDIT: I'll expound a bit on that by the way, I'm not being cute when I say that, I mean that quite literally, that SJWism is the purest form of evil.

And what makes it so evil is the total hypocrisy of it, what kind of mindset goes on and on about fighting for women but turns a blind eye to a culture that will cut off a little girl's nose because she wants to go to school? That's pure fucking evil right there.
