Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[The handsome tard]

It's pretty bleak, isn't it?

The 2010s is ending on an interesting note, that's for sure.

What the fuck is the 2020s going to be like?

Most of our franchises were deflowered of their grace and many more are on the way of the chopping block.

I already made a post talking about how this is part of the cultural stagnation we are all in.

@GeneralFriendliness compiled the available leaks and wrote them down on page 709:



There was another post, where he covered a few other moments that miss in this version.

I think there will be a few minor differences between what leaks we have and what will happen. As of now, we mostly have a few "hotspots", connected by guess-work and some of the hotspots themselves will be off a little, since the leakers don't have all the facts at hand or some already revised scripts and least we forget: Reshoots are happening as we speak. But the general idea of the plot and its beats will be something along these lines.

If we post these spoilers on various media (and apparently /tv/ is in on the fun already), we can effectively take away a few emotionally manipulative twists from this movie, so they no longer woo what few enthusiastic viewers it will still have. It's not en par with "Dumbledor dies", but still...


SJW-dom going the way of the dinosaur and becoming a laughingstock like Hippies are nowadays.
SJW-dom has always thrived on virtue signalling and people pretending to be Rosa Parks for tweeting about 72 genders from their local starbucks, but it's become harder and harder to really stand out with that as time moves on, so I expect the next hot topic to be "climate change" and we've seen the transition from SJW to Climate Change recently.
My hunch is that the hanger-ons of the SJW movement will move on to climate change, once that takes off a bit more.

Meh, Climate Change was always a thing...its only being brought up more because of Greta the goblin girl.
I used to think Climate Change was a thing (and I still do in a much smaller extent) but after this? I think the world will be alright for a few more dozens of years and this is just an instrument for control by the elites (as fucking always)

Disney still pushes them on all fronts, but unlike Minions, they just find next to no traction.
They are "cute" animals from a movie, so some kids will want a Porg-Plushie, but they won't go apeshit over it like Disney hoped...

Perhaps if they made cringy facebook """"""relatable""""" posts with cringy sentences.

But seriously, my only good porg scene is when they are being eaten by Chewie.

"The blackest eyes, the devil's eyes"

I've made several remarks about the infantilization of the consumer. By keeping morality in films very simple and characters basic, the idea was to have basically anyone be able to project onto the characters. I think that this has actually damaged the moral development of the newer generations of western society. To whit, I will provide an example.

I was speaking with someone and the subject of ANTIFA came up, and they said that they thought it was their right to punch Nazis. I then asked what would happen immediately after that and he shut down. He had no idea how to respond, and when I said that the person or people he assaulted would turn and beat the shit out of him (muscularly atrophied soyboy. It'd be a slaughter), he tepidly denied it.

When the media and the news do not ask questions and impose black and white characters, with protagonists without flaw and antagonists without virtue, it pollutes the inner philosophy of the viewer, and it makes them think that they too, are the infallible, impossible hero, who cannot ever be wrong or flawed.

This is why I support having complicated and sometimes even uncomfortable morals in movies, books, television, video games, etc, for all ages. I'd much rather tell a child through media that the world can be complicated and that you can be wrong than what I see the mainstream pushing. It breeds nothing but extremism and divisiveness.

These soyboys and bitches werent never raised to see themselves and wonder if they arent the bad guys. Sometimes, we gotta look at ourselves and see our worst enemy, but their uprising and egos make them impossible to see themselves as anything but the "heroes".

Thats why Im afraid of these people ever getting power. One thing is you KNOW you are awful and just roll with it.
The other is you being incapable as seeing yourself as anything but the hero of everyone's story.

Man first the media was trying to goad people to shoot up the movie theaters due to The Joker and now they're trying to get people to shoot up the Disney Executive Boardroom due to Star Wars.

 

[ZMOT]

Also 4chan has been making quality memes it seems.

it's /tv/, I'd expect nothing less

 

[Zbk3VmLfujjzjxBd43tL]

Just look at this thing. Do they actually think merch of this thing will do better than Rose?

Probably. They know the soy-infested sheep who buy Disney Star Wars toys would rather have a toy of a penis alien over a generic frumpy Asian girl as much as they screech over muh PoC wahmen representation.

 

[Uranus Pink]

If Disney really wanted to sell penis aliens they should have hired hentai artists to design them. At least they would have made their "penis aliens" sellable. Though keeping the designs "PG" might slowed them down by a few hours at most.

 

[Kane Lives]

Just a note. It's now October, and anecdotally, the Disney marketing machine was definitely absent in my country as well. When TLJ rolled around, the malls and ads were blaring STARWARSSTARWARSSTARWARS for three fucking month straight. It got so bad that my colleague joked that Christmas is now Star Wars themed.

Now? It's absolutely absent. The movie on everyone's lips is the Joker. Star Wars are nowhere to be found. There's no hype, no buzz. If nothing else, I think the marketing budget for this movie has been severely scaled back.

 

[A Useless Fish]

Is it possible, theoretically speaking, that the reason there's been so little in terms of trailers is because no one at Lucasfilm actually knows what's even in the movie to show off?

I mean, reshoots are still ongoing. Is it possible Jar Jar Abrams has people watching boards known for leaking fucking everything, and is trying to stay ahead of them by remaking large chunks of the film? Solo was nearly rebuilt from the ground up, since Kathleen didn't like what Lord and Miller made for her (though the dumb bitch probably should have been checking on dailies during filming, rather than giving it a watch after everything was finished the first time). Also, if you watch Rogue One carefully, it's very obvious at points that the movie had been chopped up, rearranged, and has significant pieces of it missing.

We have no idea what the reshooting is reshooting, after all. I wonder if Jar Jar even gives a fuck anymore, and is just Ed Wood-ing the whole thing?

 

[RomanesEuntDomus]

2: D-O is from Kajimi/snow planet and is just a droid made from spare parts by Babu Frik, confirming another previous leak. Like other info said, he is BB-8's sidekick and becomes obsessed with him.

They are so desperate to sell toys and merch, my god.

3: Jannah/Finn's sister was born on a planet called "Kef Bir". Which means its Finn's homeworld too. Her bio also confirms a previous leak in that she currently lives on an ocean moon where she leads a band of "brave warriors", possibly the Ewoks. So this means that Endor did get flooded, and if so does this mean Battlefront II is no longer canon since that whole dumb single player campaign was about the Rebels saving Endor? Also Jannah is described as a super strong athlete and master of the bow who is second to none... Oh boy.

Sounds like a terrible character and like she's going to upstage Finn the moment she enters the screen. I'll laugh my ass off if Finn is shoved to the sidelines, pretty much becoming a supporting character, while his WoC sister steals his show. Finn was the only compelling character on the side of the Rebellion until he got screwed by Ruin.
And holy shit. She's an expert on the laser bow. Laser. Bow. We fucking Hunger Games now, lads.

Meh, Climate Change was always a thing...its only being brought up more because of Greta the goblin girl.

Of course it has, but so was the struggle for more equality, which turned into a fight for social justice.
The thing is, we nowadays see a frenzy amongst those that support protests against climate change that we have never seen before. People seem to genuinely think, if they don't burn SUVs now, they'll be dead by next year . . . and thus they are almost justified to burn the SUV drivers (who are worse than Hitler!) right with their cars. Demonstrations and protests have become a lot more aggressive and self-righteously furious.
That's why I think virtue signaling shitstains will gravitate towards it in the future. Social Justice is a dead horse and you can't stand out on that topic any more. But climate change, that's the new hot shit to be pants-shittingly angry over, these days.

Is it possible, theoretically speaking, that the reason there's been so little in terms of trailers is because no one at Lucasfilm actually knows what's even in the movie to show off?

I'd bet on it. They don't have a trailer, cause they don't yet have a movie - wouldn't surprise me if some of our leaks turn out to be false, just cause thos parts are being reshot right now. It's a clusterfuck and shows a high level of meddling by external forces. Now, I'm not naive enough to assume JarJar had any kind of artistic vision, but with the meddling, we get a hot mess of partially clashing ideas, desperate attempts to turn around the franchise away from disaster and only diving ever deeper into the pits of bullshit.

The absence of marketing is becoming more and more notable. Given how much money marketing usually eats up, I assume Disney is trying to reduce costs on that front - Which would mean even Disney expects this to bomb at this point.

 

[Adamska]

it's worse actually. kids liked jarjar and there are even people coming up with their own headcanon for him (which would be fucking hilarious, we already got a speech-impaired jedi master, why not a darth? "lesse missa showi yuu the powa of za forz" before fucking shit up vader style).

no one gives a shit about holdo and rose only because MUH MINORITIES (and after the woke crowd switches to finn's sister they won't care anymore either).

I dislike Jar-Jar but I can say this: the motherfucker had an arc at the very least and (very minimally) grew as a character. I mean he was still a dopey fuck and mostly the butt of a joke, but the dude became a war hero and politician and eventually regained the respect of his species despite his horrid idiocy and clumsiness.

I will say he and Holdo had similar potential, in that if you partially dissassembled both and rewrote them, you'd get pretty solid supporting characters. Hilariously Rose is still shit, in the sense you would have to just completely rewrite the character.

At least I could keep Jar-Jar's origins and clumsiness; just give him a more serious take where he's still lighthearted given how serious (read plank like barring Ewan as Obi Wan) everyone else around him is. Holdo I'd mostly keep, but tune down her bitchiness slightly and make her fallible (or just have her be a mole, either or).

 

[RomanesEuntDomus]

Someone linked "Star Wars the real Episodes" and I just now watched them. Man, they are glorious, but most amazing of all, they posted their version of TFA in 2016, more than a year before TLJ hit theatres and they end their version with what actually happens in TLJ. I'm dying.

 

[Godzilla@1989]

I guarantee with the lack of marketing hype, IX isn’t going to have a critics screening probably. I expect the reviews to drop on release day.

 

[PeeveTheSheev]

God dammit I was just about to post that.
Whatever, I'll drop the higher res here just because.View attachment 960730

The enduring hilarity of Pepe+Wojak memes continues to amaze me.

 

[Optimus Prime]

This is absolutely going to happen.

 

[Godzilla@1989]

This is absolutely going to happen.

I don’t know why screening a garbage fire before release to critics is a good idea.

 

[Antipathy]

I don’t know why screening a garbage fire before release to critics is a good idea.

Because they'll clap and give it a 100% on RT just like they're paid to.

Jesus...could you imagine if Disney all the sudden decided to get the Anti-Joker shills to do the same thing they did for that movie in order to boost interest in seeing Episode IX?

That reminds me: I need to see Joker.

 

[PeeveTheSheev]

Joker's the best movie I've seen in theatres in a while - which isn't much of an achievement given the state of modern cinema, but still. Highly recommended by your ol' pal Sheev.

Back on topic, here's an exceptional thing to read titled 'How The Reinvented Galaxy Of Adventures Line Illuminates The Chicanery Of Hasbro, Confirms The Gullibility Of 6" Collectors, And Pervades The Man-baby-ness Of The Longtime 3.75" People'. The toy folk seem upset by Hasbro for dumbing down the Star Wars action figures;

It's no just Hasbro though; even Amazon considers Star Wars fans to be manbabies now;

...what is that! WTF IS THAT! He just clothesline him with the stupid hilt guard saber? Oh god, I can see Robothead flipping his shit over this rubbish. Good lord this looks stupid.

God I can't get over how retarded this looks. He fucking clothesline a guy (probably as pointed out from the looks of it one of his own "knights") with his lightsaber instead of just slashing him. WHY! How does he not slice his abdomen on the way up or down? Why is he even jumping ffs? I mean look at this shit. He's running into his arm! He's probably not even dead. I mean why should he be? Fuck off JJ. Goddamn you and Disney for what you've done to this franchise.

Based on the way lightsabers are consistently portrayed, that injury is not only survivable, it wouldn't even knock the guy out. Sure, it'd fucking hurt but the strength of the lightsaber in Star Wars is how excellent of a SLASHING weapon it is. It carves cleanly through almost any material, and while a stabbing motion makes sense, you'd want to then RIP the weapon off to a side in order to cut a massive hole in your foe.

But the thing is, the stupid crossguard hilt doesn't even fucking go through Axe Knight here. Cutting him across after this stab would be a survivable injury in Star Wars, since he's getting hit somewhere in the lower torso: IE, the intestines, maybe nicking a kidney or the liver. Considering what happened to General Grievous (in the comics) or Anakin Skywalker, that is something that can certainly be shrugged off in Star Wars. Hell, Anakin was still AWAKE and MOVING towards Obi Wan after losing three limbs and being set on fire. So Axe Knight here should be able to stand and fight after maybe a few minutes if he's not finished off.
