Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Dom Cruise]

Not even the part where 3PO looks at complete strangers he never interacted with and has only ever said one word to (ie Poe) in the last two films yet calls them his friends? Which is a completely hollow fake out death in itself since R2 is going to reveal he has a backup of 3PO in him an act later.

Oh yeah, it's bad, but still not on the level of Luke m.ilking green m.ilk out of an alien titty.

TLJ has set the bar very, very low in other words.

I really don't want to give money to The Mouse, but I gotta see where this train wreck is gonna end up.
Also, they still haven't broken 500k views.

 

[Owen Grady]

For the love of God people if you absolutely must see this travesty unfold on the big screen, at least have the decency to pay for a ticket to another movie before sneaking into a showing. Don’t give Disney your fucking money.

The horses in spaces is other thing J.J. ripped off.
Star Musketeer Bismark

or better known as Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs in the U.S.

Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs Theme full version

The full version of Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs theme with "home made" alternate intro. (Finally here is the translated japanese opening: http://www.yo...

With two major key differences being they wear space suits/armor and the horses aren't organic in zero gravity, no atmosphere environments.

Galaxy Rangers

While the horses are organic but are kept dirt side not in space.

Well, if the ships are capable of somehow generating artificial gravity, they could very well also have an atmosphere on their surfaces. It's actually perfectly reasonable to think that a star destroyer might even support a thriving ecosystem with all sorts of space critters and creatures. There could even be wild space horses grazing on such ships.

Don't give money to Star Wars, but do go see another movie. Any other movie. Go watch Jumanji. Go watch whatever, as long as it isn't starwars. Make the Box Office for that weekend as big as possible, and ensure Star Wars gets as small of a piece as possible so they can't pull any "well the total box office was simply down from 2017".

Looks good. Hating the new trilogy is like hating the prequels, it's your opinion and you have an unalienable right to your opinion, but it doesn't make you a better class of Star Wars fan.

Where's the "Shill" rating?

Anime Infinite Ryvius illustrated that point good and hard with one of the minor supporting male characters strutting around on the ship's hull wearing only shoes, a cape and bath towel. Was unnerving the hell out of everyone else in spacesuits but he mentioned to all of them as long he and them stay within a (forgot number) of meters to the ship there be gravity and atmosphere. Outside of the field better be wearing a spacesuit and a secure tether to the ship otherwise YBF.

J.J. Abrams I have zero expectations he would put in any reason for them to not float off the ISD, explode, and/or become a meat popsicle.

1) I love how the thread already slowed down on content like 5 pages after the trailer dropped. Nobody even cares enough to complain about it.
2) I read that Google Doc detailing all the leaks and there's no mention of Based Klaud. Did he get retconned out of the movie already?

 

[Creep3r]

@Judge Holden your favorite boy is back.

Now to wait a few weeks to see how that like/dislike ratio turns out.

In such a short amount of time the dislike ratio for IX's final trailer is greater than Joker's on its reveal. It may just surpass it by tomorrow at this rate.

 

[Ashen One]

I expected nothing and somehow I'm still underwhelmed with the trailer.

I was thinking of going to see it because it sounds like one of those things you have to see for yourself to believe it's actually happening and to be able to say I finally watched a Star Wars movie. But the trailer made me realize I really don't care about the movie itself so I'll just wait for the videos of people ripping it apart to appear. They should be more entertaining to watch at least.

 

[StarkRavingMad]

OMG the trailer was SO good! I wonder who's going to win the lightsaber duel between Rey and Kylo!

The suspense is killllllling me!

Spoiler: Am I going to see this in theaters, though?

he has to be in on the joke at this point

 

[CheezzyMach]

Don't think I'm better than anyone, I'm rooting for Disney to fail because they're a souless corporation that swindled George out of the IP and thought they could tard cum it for 50 years making a movie each year, and it's fun watching it fall apart in 4 ( solo flop, bad toy sales , bad park sales)

They didn't swindle him out of shit, he agreed to sell it to Disney.

 

[Kiwi Lime Pie]

It's funny that BOIIIega's a Christian and he has to constantly put up with the gay innuendo between him and Oscar. I almost feel sorry for him, but he routinely doesn't help his case on Twitter.

I kind of get the sense that much like Hamill, Boyega has quite a bit up of pent up resentment towards Disney over how his character has been treated. I mean Finn had the potential to be a very compelling character yet they turn him into a borderline racist caricature of the cowardly submissive negro that you'd see in Klan propaganda as an example of "one of the good ones".

I have a feeling actors and actresses are stuck between a rock and a hard place in terms of social media and fan interaction. Mark Hamill, for example, seems to have a desire to sincerely engage his fans, and it has to be frustrating now that his character of Luke has been relegated to a washed-up has been in the ST after being one of the lead characters in the OT.

But stars in general are in a bind. The desire to be candid with fans is tempered by nondisclosure agreements and those that spew hate towards celebs even if they say anything as innocent as, "Today is Tuesday." Also, most celebs have social media managers who -- if they reply -- post little more than canned messages and content shilling whatever project they're involved in.

As for resentment, both Hamill and Boyega rightfully should have that. I've already discussed what happened to Luke, but Finn -- as many of us here posted -- had so much potential before he was relgated as the token black comedy relief guy. As much as these celebrities are encouraged to be woke and promote on-screen diversity, I wonder if it bothers any of them on a personal level to be cast in such shitty, tokenizing roles even if they're paid handsomely for it and can't ever admit their frustrations on the record.

does anyone care that the trailer's out tomorrow?

Don't have cable, so I was totally indifferent and I won't even try to watch it elsewhere.

When (Filoni's) Clone Wars was in its final season, some of the final episode trailers looked action-packed and suspenseful. However, many of these full episodes were anything but with these scenes included in the trailer being a very brief and sometimes irrelevant/extraneous scene compared to the overall episode and plot.

As a result, I've come to consider any trailer made by Disney/LucasFilm to have the same formula: over-hype the action scenes to hide the fact that the full work is going to be underwhelming in some way. So, I look at any SW-related trailer in the Disney era with a large amount of skepticism.

Speaking of lightsabers, look at how they move between each trilogy:

Part of the reason why everything was slow and clunky in the OT was that the movies were filmed from 1977-85 when special effects were still rudimentary and cost a lot of money back then. Episode I came out in 1999 when special effects had improved exponentially, making it easier to include detailed, vivid, and active special effects gratuitously and at a much lower cost. Also, I believe Lucas (or someone else involved with production) might have said that with younger characters and better special effects available, they wanted battles and lightsaber dues to be far more active than the OT.

It's kind of sad to see lightsaber duels and the associated effects be deemphasized in the ST. Don't get me wrong, i can accept the fact the SW Universe consists of plenty of non-Jedi who can't or won't wield a lightsaber, but given that the weapon is a portrayed as a staple of this particular sci-fi world, it seems baffling for it to be downplayed as much as it's been in the ST. On the other hand, Rey wields one for too easily even for someone with acquired Force skills and experience with a quarterstaff, so the lore that only trained Jedi generally know how to use one properly has been watered down. Heck, let's be frank: Disney has been watering down SW ever since acquiring it from Lucas.

All I care about with the new movie is having it released, seeing what kind of dumpster fire it turns out to be, and accepting the fact I may ignore any further unappealing Disney Wars content except to poke fun at it. At risk of beating a dead horse, it's very unfortunate to see a fun, popular franchise you grew up with get turned into crap in just a short period of time by people and a corporation that have no clue what made the franchise timeless and popular to at least a couple generations of fans.

 

[Goku 1000000 O]

I have decided though that.... *sucks in breath* yes, I am going to see it in theaters, I need to see how this is going to end, good or bad.

Oh I’m going to be there on opening night. I don’t care if the mouse takes my money at this point, because there’s no way this won’t be really entertaining terrible schlock and that’ll be worth the price of admission.

I expect to laugh while my theater is filled with soibois crying over C3PO “dying”.

That would be an effective moment... too bad it features the new cast and not he original one

 

[Adamska]

Cheese FUCKING Louise. Its far worse and cornier than anything I could've imagined.

And this seems to confirm the fucking leaks I posted, like the fucking damn pointy throne, fighting aboard the Tantive IV, C-3PO's shitty and forced fake out death and so much more. Holy fuck!

Also I can't believe that like|dislike ratio. 2000^ vs 1000v?

Fuck me what a joke of a trailer. I openly began to cough/laugh when they showed that awful hugging scene with Carrie Fisher's corpse, because it was such an empty and obvious attempt to grab your heart strings. That and Threepio doing his fake-out death line was so fucking terrible.

Am I the only one that noticed that the music is off tune and fairly underplayed for what Disney and Abrams are trying to sell this film as? Because it doesn't feel triumphant or as something that "culminates nine movies (barf)"; it sounds very bog standard.

It's also really funny to watch the absolutely dead faces and lack of chemistry between Driver and Ridley. Both blank faced, both wielding sticks of neon. It was almost as funny as the part where it gave the impression the two broke a Darth Vader statue given the quick frame of them breaking something. It was very much a spiritual representation of how hard Disney killed this franchise, and it also represents how dead this movie really is.

 

[Tsusaba109]

They didn't swindle him out of shit, he agreed to sell it to Disney.

They did though, in a way. He already had outlines for the next trilogy, scriptwriter, half a script, concept art, Iger verbally promised him that they would adhere to his vision as much as possible. He also trusted Katelyn Kennedy to keep on eye on his lifes work. Instead JJ threw all of his stuff in the trash and decided to rehash A New Hope. The trio didn't tell George until they handed him the new script at a meeting to laugh at his reaction .

 

[Zbk3VmLfujjzjxBd43tL]

2) I read that Google Doc detailing all the leaks and there's no mention of Based Klaud. Did he get retconned out of the movie already?

I hope Based Klaud has not become a victim of the reshoots. Maybe Disney got rid of him to prevent him from being corrupted by the alt-right misogynazis.

I unironically like that remix of the Star Wars theme though, but otherwise you have a point. I'm expecting most of the music in this movie to be remixes or just wholesale borrowed from previous Star Wars music, just like the movie itself rips off the rest of Star Wars when it isn't ripping off Dark Empire. Which is a good thing, since the other six Star Wars films had great and iconic music, while the sequels have nothing. The original soundtrack will be more or less phoned in like John Williams seems to have done on the other two movies.

Also, fuck that "culminates nine movies" and "end of the Star Wars saga", that's such a load of shit because that happened in 1983 (2005 is a valid date as well given Lucas's plans for the prequels).
