Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Reverend]

And they killed off their biggest brand ambassador

Honestly killing Mark Hammil was a good thing now. He's become the epitome of a angry old man that yells at could and a rampaging shit head shill on twitter. He's completely moved to the dark side and his bitterness at what they did to his character's whole personality, death is preferable.

Mark did this (after the ESSENTIALLY breach in his oral contact with George) because he figured if he played ball he would start getting some Steve Buscemi/Christopher Walken roles thrown at him

Did he? I don't see him anything outside of VA roles.

It was something he said on one of the behind the scenes shot when his daughter (I think) was giving him a pep talk about The Last Jedi

When there are plenty of actors like steve and christopher, who are known for playing those kinds of roles, why change it up? Especially after TLJ. IMO he'd be better at those kinds of roles pre TLJ because most people probably hadn't seen a pic of him more recent than ROTJ. Now he's associated with nu-wars Luke and that's that. At least Adam Driver has immediately branched out and done other shit. Plus he was a semi established actor before nu-wars IIRC

I wonder what his son was doing at the time. Oh, how about having unprotected sex with his GF ,then demand she gets an abortion when turns out she is pregnant and then have his rich family sort of threaten her if she doesnt follow through? All while preaching social justice on social media, of course.

Guess thats what he was busy with, thats right.

When did I miss the meeting where it was decided that Dark Empire was shit?
I recall it was well received and was credited as being part of the Thrawn era releases that jump-started the franchise back to life.

I give Dark Empire credit for getting Star Wars' foot in the door in the realm of comics.

Also keep in mind that back then, we were STARVED for Star Wars material, and just ate up everything we could get our hands on. So if the reaction to it back then was positive, it is largely because of the "OMG! NEW STAR WARS STUFF!" reaction.

Nowadays, I could trip over a rock and land in something Star Wars related, so we have to be a lot pickier with what we choose to consume, if we decide to consume any of it. But that post ROTJ-pre Special Edition period was almost a dead zone for Star Wars material, so we were happy just to have books and comics when they came out.

Some of that early EU is very good (Thrawn Trilogy is the true VII, VIII, and IX to me, and always will be) and some of it not so much (Crystal Star...yikes) but there was so little of it that we were just happy to have it. I know it is hard to imagine a world where there wasn't much Star Wars out there, but that was the case back then.

Now, my take on Dark Empire:

Again, I give it credit for being an honest attempt at a Star Wars comic series and getting the brand recognition in that medium.

And it does have some really good things in it. It is one of the earliest examples I can think of where Boba Fett was used effectively.

Some of the art work is good, though it leans a little too much into being monochromatic, and a lot of it is this pukey green color whenever Luke has his Lightsaber out.

However, it never was one of my favorites because I felt the Emperor cloning plot and Luke's temporary fall to the Dark Side kind of went against the ending of Return of the Jedi too much. Also, the Galaxy Gun (as with most planet busters in the EU) was fucking dumb. Now World Devestators I was actually okay with because those at least served an additional function of collecting a planet's resources for the Empire to use in addition to destroying a world, so at least it felt somewhat different from the typical Death Star knock off.

If I was being honest, I'd give it about C. Its place in Star Wars history is that it was what made it a viable brand for comic books, but on its own, its just okay. Still, I'd say its worth checking out at least once.

So I'm not a huge star wars fag, but the last Jedi was disappointing even for me, though I wondered how much of the conversation was due to the internet and how much of it wasn't
My dad didn't watch episode 8 in theatres to being busy at the time, so since episode 9 was coming out he was like "hey should I go buy a copy and watch it." and I said it sucks due to them fucking up luke but that he should watch it anyway
This was since
1. I know I'm going to see it with my grandpa and he just wants to get that shit over with
2. My dads a computer illiterate guy in his late 40's, barely uses the web for stuff, doesn't use social media or any of that crap. Hell the guy was never spoiled on what the movie was even about before watching it. So it perfect test of that
So he rents the movie for like 4 bucks I go upstairs to do work and shit, and I drop by at the end of the movie. When I walk into his room he as this weird sort of cringe grimace, like a combination of taking a shit and a hemorrhoid. So I asked him how was it and responded "it sucked". He went into how the Movie sorta felt like it was going through a check boxes of what races they had in it, about how it felt forced which is kinda surprising since he really doesn't give a fuck about that sort of shit typically. He was kept asking questions like "what was the deal with snoke" "how could ray do all that shit when Luke could barely use the force in episode 5".
He called it worse then the prequels, which considering he saw every SW movie in theaters except this one was kinda shocking. Said he felt they had nowhere to go after the ending.
I just find it interesting for all the claims that NU-Star Wars is only hated by "online alt right trolls" according to E-journalists that a IRL focused, union boomer would still find that movie to be massive train wreak
I think the best thing he said was his final statement on it
"Thank god I didn't buy it on DVD, if I did I would have burnt the thing"

Now he's associated with nu-wars Luke and that's that.

The guy still has stuff like the Joker for animated shit in the eyes of the public, though IDK if he voiced him since Justice League Action

If your grandpa just wants this over and done with, sit down with him. Talk with him. Ask him whether or not he really cares about these characters or if he just wants closure. Tell him that some trusted friends of yours informed you that the movie will be even worse than TLJ.

Then, go to 709 or 721 here, get the spoilers, and give them to him.

As an addition, I know Disneystarwarsisdumb lurks here. I wonder if he'll pick up on the faked ticket controversy?

 

[The handsome tard]

"Pre-ticket Sales surpassing Endgame's"

Buying from yourself doesn't fucking count.

Sure, the company under investigation of cooking the books totally is trust worthy to not do that again for something as big as Star Wars and that carries a political agenda...

Sure...

I recall it was well received and was credited as being part of the Thrawn era releases that jump-started the franchise back to life.

Most of the hate was a meme by people (like HelloGreedo and other movie-only-purists) who didn't actually read it (much like people who got mad over Skippy despite that he was from a blatant one-shot parody comic that even had Monsters Inc and silly cameos thrown in there), however it wasn't perfect, far from it, and there was some genuine displeasure and criticism to be had by those who did read Dark Empire, specifically people didn't like the Emperor's revival and Luke going dark along with the pacing, but in comparison to what we're seeing now, Dark Empire actually looks golden compared to the sequels since, for one, evil Luke there looks pretty rad and he fell to the dark side not of his own free will, only pretending to join it because he believed he could destroy the Emperor from within only for it to backfire and turn him into a puppet struggling to escape the strings of the Emperor and the Emperor's own revival was a showcase of both fantasy and scifi as one would expect from the setting, and it would introduce the cloning tech that would become so important to the saga by the 2000s while also showing how insanely powerful Palpatine is by learning to achieve the immortality which his master Plagueis (not introduced yet) had desired so. While in Disney, Luke willingly becomes a bitter old ass who is border-line dark and almost kills his nephew (try and retcon that shit JJ) who leaves his friends to die while he sucks titty milk and does nothing for 30 years while fading into obscurity after his barely functional academy gets burned down by Ren and his Knights of Ren, and Palpatine's body somehow survives falling into a hypermatter core and the destruction of the Death Star and being forced to exist in hiding as a cripple while a shitty knockoff of him called Snoke takes all the glory. Even I had my beefs at first because the Emperor coming back felt like a cheap gimmick, but then you remember this story takes place 20 years after the OT and the gang has already gone through many successes and adventures while in Disney they've just been sitting on their asses for 30 years getting fucked over by everyone.

And in regards to the Knights of Ren, another shitty new Journey to IX comic has been previewed which reveals the Knights of Ren are actually old and they've been fighting Luke for a long time, having even attacked him and a younger Ren while at their academy and there was a different Kylo Ren before Emo Ren showed up who looked like that armored emo kid from Kingdom Hearts. Also, Snoke is supposedly unrelated to Palpatine yet he somehow had control over these Knights despite them actually being Palpatine's puppets?

You can see the "old Kylo Ren" holding the red lightsaber and wearing a helmet with runes on it.

 

[Capsaicin Addict]

The discussion about CG'd Fisher/Hamill/Ford reminded me of a bunch of guys who re-filmed the fight scene between Vader and Obi-Wan on the Death Star in ANH. Part of it was mapping Alec Guinness's face to the Obi-Wan model -- and disturbingly, it worked.

Go to Youtube and look up 'SC38 Reimagined' (I can't link to it right now). Now imagine that kind of tech in the hands of the Mouse.

Honestly, I am one of the ones that is completely fine with how the original duel between Vader and Obi-Wan went as it was a big tower of power half machine going against a far past his prime warrior, so it being limited made sense to me.

However, this redo is shockingly good.

• With the new jedi school in ruins and fellow students hot on his trail for the murder of their master, Ben Solo flees to the only friend he has left in the galaxy…a man named Snoke. But Snoke has plans for Ben…and ideas about the Force that are as dangerous as they are intriguing for the troubled young jedi.
• If Ben wishes to be truly free…the answers might lie with the dark side. And with the Knights of Ren!

Holy shit are they really about to retcon Kylo into a misunderstood good boy who dindu nuffin? If there's one thing I'm looking forward to in IX other than a few minutes of Ian McDiarmid hamming it up it's JJ sending the delusional Reylos into apoplectic fits of cope and denial.

trust me, don't pay for it. 5 minutes of JJ-Sheev is not worth sitting through 150 minutes of Rey.
