Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Creep3r]

Probably said this earlier in the thread, but they shouldn't have bothered making the show, especially since the conflict's like a goddamn albatross hanging on its neck. Imagine if they devoted the resources and budget to the new Clone Wars season instead, we could've had more episodes made (yes, I know not everyone here's a fan of the show or Filoni, but would that really be any worse than two seasons of those spazes?).

I agree with you. I mean, I'm not a fan of Filoni Wars but I would've loved to have seen the Boba and Kashyyyk episodes fully animated over anything Disney has produced in the last 5 years. Instead they throw the money away on awful cartoons like Resistance, Forces of Destiny, The BB-8 show and a lot of crappy merch while the Filoni Wars revival is reduced to a shitty mini series that's mostly just Ahsoka wankery while completely changing her interactions to make her more suitable to Kennedy's standards and throwing away all other unfinished episodes.

Meanwhile Resistance is just one big pile of nothing to really give a shit about. Its a dull and bad cartoon that tries to pretend its the next Genndy Wars or Filoni Wars while claiming to be for a "mature audience" yet delivers nothing engaging nor does it have any interesting characters, meanwhile its conflict and character interactions feel exactly like something from one of Disney's preschool shows, like Disney's Special Agent Oso, a preschool show about a re-tarded bear who has no idea what he's doing despite being a super spy and revolves around stating the obvious, which fits Resistance to a tittle. Hell even the Ewoks cartoon at its worst had more going on for it than this shit.

Resistance always felt like they just recycled a formerly canned idea for a show and sprinkled a few Star Wars things on top.

Here's a hottake: To Disney and SJW, "mature" means -or will soon mean- "containing the correct themes and ideologies".
Ie: A show will be seen as mature if it contains genderspeech, that atrocious STRAHNG WOHMAN archetype that has never been popular with anyone with a brain and social commentary on non-issues such as bathrooms.

Which is funny since the show contains none of that other than the male lead always needing a girl to straighten him out or save his ass when his mentors aren't around. They didn't even have the balls to make the two aliens gay in the show itself so they had to settle for an interview to claim it. Although I wouldn't be surprised if they next announce that the blobfish woman in the show is actually a troon who "gets to use any bathroom she wants" despite never showing it in the show itself, and they might do it since according to Disney, the Blobfish people (which includes the one from TFA) are a male only species, with the females being a completely different species for some reason. I spoke about their bullshit and their lame homeworld like a year ago in this thread, like how despite their bio saying they live in intense underwater pressure like real Blobfish, their homeworld is entirely made up of shallow water and lagoons with no deep seas.

True Love

"True Love" is a short story by Landry Q. Walker that was published in the anthology Tales from a Galaxy Far, Far Away: Aliens: Volume I on April 5, 2016. The story focuses on Unkar Plutt, the scrap trader. The repugnant scrap trader Unkar Plutt may finally have met his match in the twisty tale...

On a somewhat related note, its through these fuckers that we find out that under Disney canon, droids can eat, drink and get drunk, even if they have no mouths in an attempt to try and explain why 3PO wasn't allowed in the cantina in ANH to avoid any racism parallels via droid discrimination.

...then what the fuck was L3-37 supposed to be doing when she spent the entirety of Solo doing the whole 'equal rights for droids!' shtick?

 

[Miller]

it turns out he's just a janitor

I bet he edits wiki pages for free too.

I’m going to say it, I think Shari Redstone, the owner and soon to be chairwoman of CBS-Viacom, has more spine and cunningness than Bob Iger. Just saying.

The Kurtzmanverse is still a thing so I doubt that she will bring Star Trek back.

 

[Vault Boy]

...then what the fuck was L3-37 supposed to be doing when she spent the entirety of Solo doing the whole 'equal rights for droids!' shtick?

To this day, I can't tell if L3 was a sincere attempt at having a "progressive" character, or if Lord & Miller wanted to poke fun at the people espousing such values. I'm not even sure if we were supposed to feel bad when she died or laugh at how abrupt it was (I remember some people at the theater laughing when she suddenly got shot).

She’s so over the top that it HAS to be parody, but with the plausible deniability of it being legitimate in case SJW’s get offended that they’re being mocked.

There’s a reason why Cantinas don’t serve droids!

Disney really doesn't give a shit about continuity since they demoted Leland Chee and the rest of the old story group to glorified coffee makers. Also not only is the concept of a droid getting drunk off human liquor pushing it, but they pick the one droid whose face is just one big camera with no openings to drink it. I mean if there was at least a mouth hole like 3PO's you could at least assume the liquid short circuited something or had some kind of effect, but this isn't even trying.

Unless there's some kind of weird osmosis effect where alcohol can seep into the metal, there's no way this would work.

Remember when people thought the new canon was going to be more "grounded" than the Expanded Universe? Five years later, and we have an Ackbar/Grievous mashup, whales that can go into hyperspace, a weird time portal, heli-sabers, droids able to get drunk, old ladies flying through space, and who knows what other sort of fuckery.

Obviously. Iger's book pretty much confirms what a lot of different accounts and interviews said and that there was never an interest in canon or quality, it was all about remaking the OT for max cash.

And speaking of the EU, it turns out Kevin Feige is a huge fan of the pre-Disney EU more than Disney's according to a Vanity Fair interview in 2017.

An Extended Conversation with Kevin Feige

The Marvel Studios chief on his childhood, Avengers 4, and everything in between.

It is interesting to me that you didn’t grow up obsessed with comic books.

I was obsessed with deep mythologies, mainly through Star Wars, and then the West End Games came out with a role-playing game, but didn’t really have the discipline for it. The books were amazing because they went into so much more—a lot of what we know now of Star Wars. You know the fifth character in the background of the cantina scene—you know his name now, you know his backstory now, because of those books. That stuff I always loved, and I was playing with Star Wars figures in the backyard and making my own stories with those. One of my hobbies was to be disappointed with a sequel to a movie, and then make the next version of the movie in my head.

Evangeline Lilly: What I see as the through-line between J.J. Abrams, Peter Jackson, and Kevin Feige is that they are über-fans. He’s still a kid in the sandbox. He’s still playing and remembering that he fantasized about this since he was a little boy, and now he gets to live it up.

Do you have an example of those backyard sequels you created?

After RoboCop 2, I was like, “I gotta fix it. I gotta come up with a better RoboCop 3.” After Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, “I gotta do a better Superman V.” After Star Trek V, “I got a better idea for Star Trek VI.” I did have better ideas for all of them, but nobody was interested. So all of that was not dissimilar to what comics are in terms of that ongoing mythology and that sort of . . .

Expanded universe.

Exactly, right. I bought those in, I think it was ‘91, when Timothy Zahn came out with Heir to the Empire, and it was like a new Star Wars thing. So all of that. It’s just the notion of going to the comic shops and getting baseball cards and keeping the comics in plastic. I didn’t do any of that stuff. It was the interest in the characters.

I still have doubts about him considering the current direction Marvel Studios is heading, but you gotta admire that passion of his when compared to how soulless and indifferent Kennedy, Iger, JJ and Rian's view of SW is.

ScreenRant also made an article in which they surprisingly defended George Lucas and shit on Disney/TFA, but while saying that TLJ is shit, it at least did something different, and that they're worried Keving Feige's Marvel formula is too predictable and may end up as unimaginative as JJ's shit.

Well we have crazy mestrual cycle planets that breed madwomen, fart fetishism being mainstream, diaper usage, xeno on human fuck fests and many other things that makes me wish for the days of the evil clone of Luke Skywalker.

that makes me wish for the days of the evil clone of Luke Skywalker.

Hey, Luuke was at least a cool idea. Filoni's Space Anus spewing forth hyperspace ramming whales that fly to defend the magical planet where everyone eats Soypro and gets married while farting all the time with drunk droids just sounds like some shit that the CIA uses in Guantanamo to cause people to kill themselves in comparison.

I will say of the true expanded universe that when the ideas were dumb, they were the fun type of dumb that a B or C movie writer would come up with, though this stuff is coming from even more bottom of the barrel hacks and legitimate degenerates that cannot hide their fetishes.

Just watching that short clip, you can tell why this show never got off the ground. It looks like crap and the characters are poorly designed.
Also aren't the gay guys just dreamy, how affectionate and respectful they treat each other?

I think that's pretty much why I prefer the worst of the old EU over the worst of the nu-EU. At its worst it never felt truly insulting or putrid, more like something from cheesier Flash Gordon serials or Lost in Space, or like the SW equivalent of Spock's Brain. Ridiculous but campy, enjoyable in a way like you would enjoy scifi camp. However the worst of Disney's, which is more prominent, comes off as demeaning, insulting, derivative, flat out gross or over reliance on virtue signaling. I mean, for comparison, the Jedi Prince novels are considered the worst books in the old EU, but at their core they're just cheesy scifi camp intentionally aimed at child readers under 7 via the official age rating, and one of the most recurring mockeries of them is that they had "space whales" which were just regular whales called whalodons from a water planet that were being harvested by the Empire for food with some occasional and corny eco message. Then you have Disney's stories, where you get literal space whales with either either angel wings or tentacles that can fart out hyperdrives out of their anuses while Chuck Wendig has a beloved character reminding you to stop being a bigot for having opinions, and these Disney stories are officially aimed at readers over 15 and 18 via the official age rating while not intended for children despite the writing. Which completely defeats this argument:

Also I found a full comparison video of Galaxy's Edge in Florida. Its worse than I thought... And Vi Moradi is more awkward here than in Cali...

Also the design of the mini-planet makes me dread that Galaxy's Edge/Batuu will be the next world in Kingdom Hearts...

Holy fuck... The idiots behind Dr. Aphra actually went through with it. I kinda suspected this would happen but they really fucking did it. Let this forever be a reminder to Aphra's would-be defenders that Dr. Aphra is the embodiment of everything wrong with Disney Wars.

FYI the "true puppet master" is the head of Imperial Coalition for Progress which manages propaganda and control over imperial subjects (with the Coalition retconning the previous propaganda division for the Empire that Chuck Wendig rippedoff created for Disney), effectively being the true builder of the Empire. Her name is Pitina Mas-Mar "Momma" Voor and is the one behind all conspiracies and controls, and her final plan to complete her rule of the Empire was to kill the Emperor, and she would've gotten away with it too if hadn't been for that meddling Dr. Aphra and her pet Wookiee! In the end "saving the day" in true Scooby Doo fashion by having Momma reveal her entire plan accidentally to Vader cuz fuck it... Might as well bring Vader in on Aphra's shenanigans again...

The Force Emperor is Female.
Bravo Kennedy Marvel.
