Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[A Useless Fish]

Once again Disney-Lucasfilm is using their comics to explain shit they're too lazy to explain in their movies.

The Legacy of Admiral Ackbar in Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - Allegiance #2 - Exclusive | StarWars.com

The latest installment in the Marvel comic series pays homage to one of the Rebellion’s greatest leaders and introduces his son.

www.starwars.com

Remember Ackbar's replacement (who I assumed to be his nephew) who I talked about before during the costume leaks and a few pages ago where I suggested his name might be Aftab based on a shitty new novel that came out having a character called Aftab Ackbar? Well it turns out he is Aftab Ackbar and he's actually Ackbar's son and an admiral. What a convenient and surprise twist.../sneed I also like how orange Mon Calamari are basically non-existent now...

Anyway, the comic introduces the character to make you pretend to give a shit and explain why he's in the movie, which I think confirms that he's nothing but a background cameo meant to be a seat filler now that Ackbar's role as useless background filler under Disney is gone. The comic pretends that all of a sudden Disney-Lucasfilm and the Galaxy suddenly gives a shit about Ackbar despite not giving a damn about him when he died and killing him off so shamelessly. The even put his head on an undersea Mt. Rushmore as if to say "See? We totally love Ackbar! Although we still have zero respect for the character or his actor and are just using this to trick you into giving a shit".

Even his hands don't look like the typical Mon Calamari crab-flippers, instead its just creepy human hands with six fingers to accompany his gross human skin tone.

Meanwhile shills and shill sites are going all out to generate faux hype for this guy (not as much as Babu Frik though) and claiming that "OMG JJ is saving SW! He just btfo Rian by retconning his things and bringing in Ackbar's son!" Do these fuckers even know what a retcon is?

To make matters dumber, Adolf Ackbar here claims he never actually met his father, they only ever briefly saw each other once "right after his spawning", but even Adolf here says "maybe". Yet he claims to know his father because he read everything about him and is just as heartbroken as everyone else, and despite that his father never visited him, Leia apparently had all the time in the world to visit Adolf Ackbar Jr. regularly to the point where he considers her like family yet his own father never had one day to take off while someone completely unrelated to the family had all the time in the world. Reminder that this character was never mentioned once in the last 6 years under Disney.

In short, they just pulled him out of their ass as a cheap way to bring in their own Ackbar donut steal to pay Lucas a little less and create faux-nostalgia to appease the JJ crowd. And they're too strapped for time to actually include this scene in the film and make a non-human character interesting and well-developed.

My favourite character, from my favourite species in the OT has not only been killed off like a chump, but now they're invoking his memory in order to shit all over it by making him a deadbeat dad. All I need now is a sequel to this shitty comic where Allah Ackbar or whatever his fucking name is reveals to Princess Leia that the only real reason his dad came back that one time was to molest him.

Fuck Disney. Fuck JJ, KK, Ruin, Chucklefuck Wendig, and every other cocksucker involved in all this. For your media to be tolerable, you need to make it better. You do not accomplish this but tearing down everything that came before. If you don't give a single fuck about this franchise you bought, then why the fuck should I, or anyone else?

All I need now is a sequel to this shitty comic where Allah Ackbar or whatever his fucking name is reveals to Princess Leia that the only real reason his dad came back that one time was to molest him.

I really wonder how something like this happens.

Is there a Disney Suit that told some writer to make a comic and then instructed him to write this with a petulent writer coming up with the deadbeat dad thing to spite the Suit?
"You'll write a comic about how Leia goes to Mon Cala"
-"To whom?"
"It's a place, not a person. It's where Ackbar comes from... y'know, that 'It's a trap!' guy..."
-"Oh, I hate him!"
"Too bad, you'll write about him being a respected and beloved war hero. We need to pander to the old fans, they seem to love him!"
-"Nah, I hate him and I hate the old fans, those patriarchical, bigotted, troglodytes!!" *sips soy latte*
"You'll write what I tell you to, now sod off."
-"Yeah yeah okay whatever fucker I'm gonna show those alt-right russian bots by making fishhead an asshole!"

On a less related note, it still boggles my mind how a show that started 10 years ago still looks better than any CGI shitshow from Disney.

Yoda also got a weird transformation. The 3D model from SW Rebels looks like an old Anthony Hopkins.

 

[verissimus]

The rumor claims that since Rey becomes empowered by the ghosts of all past jedis (prequel and Disney EU-only jedis...) to defeat the Emperor at the end of IX, then Ahsoka may possibly be included as one of the many ghosts while Filoni collects another cameo check for his forced as fuck character.

God they're so desperate to get people to watch IX that they'll drag a character in it that nobody not familiar with the shows and comics will recognize.

The fact that Rian killed off a popular meme character so unceremoniously might speak to what his intentions always were, to purposely troll online culture perhaps?

It's all so.... desperate

Of course they're desperate! They can smell their deaths, and the sound they'll make rattling their cages will serve as a warning to the rest.

Without context I was seriously wondering if the reason they're mad is because Rey was being rude to them, and now she's about to go postal on these guards for no reason. (The actual reason is that Leia is responsible for his family being tortured and killed by imperials. Is that a reference to the Calamarian role in the rebellion in Legends, or is he talking about the First Order?)

Freddie Prinze Jr went on a sperg fest against the fans of SW.

Uhuh, as if anyone should trust Filoni after Rebels and Resistance ('what?' I hear you thinking; Resistance is that shitty cell-shaded cartoon that's been cancelled already - the one with the gay pigbat and bird) and his never-dying obsession with orange buttcheeks. Then again I've never had the same appreciation for Clone Wars as some others have.

ICBW, But I thought Filoni was initially part of Resistance but gave it up when he got promoted or asked to handle something different. That notwithstanding, Filoni always acted like SW Canon should be remade to accommodate his personal headcanon. As a result, I can only scoff at Freddy Prinze Jr. insisting Filoni is some sort of expert on SW Canon on par with Lucas himself.

The racing element of the show was also something he wrote about and the show's staff still goes to him for thoughts and notes.

Given how a cartoon I watched growing up became strongly disliked (and only lasted ten more episodes) after changing to include more of a racing element, I can't say I'd be surprised if people thought racing in a SW series focused on the unrest that exists prior to TFA would be an absolutely bad idea. Filoni really needs someone to keep his bizarre ideas and obsessions in check.

The rumor claims that since Rey becomes empowered by the ghosts of all past jedis (prequel and Disney EU-only jedis...) to defeat the Emperor at the end of IX, then Ahsoka may possibly be included as one of the many ghosts while Filoni collects another cameo check for his forced as fuck character.

At one point, I might have been eager to see Ahsoka appear in a live action film -- especially to see how she might react to meeting "Luke Skywalker." Over time, however, it looks as if Filoni only wants to shoehorn Ahsoka into whatever media he can even if her presence adds little to nothing to the plot or era as a whole. As such, I believe Ahsoka's appearance in any future media will be more to shoehorn her in to give Filoni an ego rush and another residual check than it is to have her be a well-liked character that has appeared in multiple eras -- such as C3PO or R2D2.

Love it or hate it, you can't deny that Filoni Wars looked fucking amazing compared to this shit.

The 3D CGI they used seemed to improve with each season and looked pretty darn good.

From what I've read, Rebels was supposed to have a look and feel that mimicked the old Ralph McQuarrie artwork done during the OT era. There's nothing wrong with the idea in theory, but the execution came off poorly and looked very cheap and lacking when compared to its predecessor.

The trailer I saw for Resistance looked as if the animation took another huge step backwards. It looked more like something one would see in a TV show targeting kids aged 3-5 years old.

And people wonder why there's so little confidence that Disney can do anything competently with Star Wars.
[E: wrong word]

even more annoying (at least for me, since they were my favorite race) is that this shit effectively cockblocks other togruta, let alone females to ever appear in canon. and even if they do too many tards will immediately think it's ashoka. it's also another proof that overusing a character inevitably ruins it completely and retroactively.

Freddie Prinze Jr went on a sperg fest against the fans of SW.

Sit down, shut up, and let Freddie Prinze Jr. explain the entire Star Wars universe to you

The internet does not lack—to put it mildly—for opinions on the Star Wars universe. They’re like tauntauns on Hoth: Everybody’s got one, and they all smell even worse on the inside than you imagined from initial blush.

www.google.com

Didn't he do the same thing last year(?) when people started making fun of how shitty the resistance cartoon looked.

The disrespect is staggering, and after Kevin Smith (tbh I don't know who that is, I'm not from the Anglosphere) yesterday we now have to take Freddie Prinze Jr's word as gospel?

He's also a writer/director probably most famous for the movie Clerks and other movies like Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma (+Silent Bob cameos). He likes to write lots of Nerd references into his dialogue, like how superman fucks Lois Lane in Mallrats and SW stuff in Chasing Amy. Looking at his work it doesn't look like he's had a solid movie in about 2 decades so he's going back to the Clerks, and Jay and Silent Bob sequel well. More recent movies you may have heard about from him were the meme attempts with Tusk, and Yoga Hosers.

Other than that he's had a podcast for a long time, but i don't know anything about it other than he's known to shill for DC movies as he loves their comic books e.g references them in everything and even named his daughter after a DC character - Harley Quinn. I think he's come out with a crying story for every DC movie and flip flopped on one of BvS or JL, first talking about how bad it was, then shortly later how it was a misunderstood masterpiece.

Hmm. I hope you're not underestimating the problem. The others may not go as quietly as you think. Intelligence indicates they're behind the problems at the shill media.

So I’ve been pondering about the many companies could buy Disney and make SW better than they could and I figured out Verizon also has more money than Disney as well.

Could you imagine if Verizon our of all people improves what’s left of the franchise?

Easily, since I'd have trouble imagining a worse job that wasn't an outright Producers scam. They'd probably just re-hire George Lucas and let him do his thing.

Plus, that could be a possibility along with Apple and Amazon because I bet the next CEO is going to sell the company straight up.

So how hard did Emperor Klaudius shove his foot up Rose Tico's ass?

 

[Creep3r]

Just when you think shit can't get any lower, they somehow find a way to prove you wrong... Remember that book I talked about on the last page that's one of the "super essential journey to IX books you just gotta buy to understand the glory of IX"? Well the book reveals that nu-Han Solo is even more worthless than TFA, Wendig and the new comics implied.

Han Solo Sold Luke's ‘New Hope’ Medal for Booze and It's ‘Star Wars’ Canon

One of Luke Skywalker's prized possessions was sold by Han Solo in order for him to have some bar credit.

movieweb.com

They wrote it so Han sold Luke's fucking Medal of Bravery from A New Hope to Yellow Yoda for a bottle of cheap booze, and she gets disgusted and calls him a "bastard" for it but takes it anyway. Disney really must hate Han. Almost every piece of media he's been in since the Disney buyout is a flat out mockery that demeans him to completely new lows, yet people will defend this shit because "OMG Han's a smuggler and he's always been scruffy trouble maker" while completely ignoring character progression and his development from smuggler to Rebel hero and General. And all thanks to JJ, Kennedy and Ford... Hell even if Ford wanted you to kill off the character, you could still find ways to make him still be great, like make him the head of his own Smuggler's Guild who is using finances from it for the not-Rebels or be second-in-command or bodyguard to his wife. Anything really, but instead he's a big drunk loser who's still smuggling to get by while running from debt collectors while being an indifferent scumbag.

It's all just a painful reminder of how the sequels rendered everything that came before them absolutely meaningless while demeaning past heroes to incredible new lows. Hell even prequel hate at its worst didn't manage to kill people's love for Luke, Han and Leia.

Even Inverse which are usually heavy Disney shills can't hide their disgust.

'Star Wars' book leak reveals Han traded Luke's Yavin medal for booze money

Say it ain't so, Captain Solo.

www.inverse.com

Han’s willing to toss away this reminder of a happier time — and one of their most meaningful accomplishments together — for basically nothing. (It’s also a frustrating reminder of how the sequel trilogy has rendered all their accomplishments basically meaningless, but that’s a grumble for another day.)

So how hard did Emperor Klaudius shove his foot up Rose Tico's ass?

He found a way.
