Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Ghostse]

They got a 9 figure deal from Netflix earlier so that likely factored into it, especially since Disney hates Netflix and wants all of its subscriber money.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. So yeah, better prospects than getting a weak-grip handie from Minnie.

Hate how this news is presented. Lucasfilm didn't drop d&d, they dropped Lucasfilm. It's the same with Rian Johnson he has no clue when or if he's making a trilogy because Lucasfilm doesn't know. Lucasfilm was just wasting their time. Kennedy is just praying right now that TRoS isn't a big bomb, then disney corporate can decide if she's fit to decide who will make the new trilogy.

The article quite clearly presents it that way, a bunch of people ITT just assumed they got canned because they're bitter about how Game of Thrones ended.

I swear, I would rather go back to simply dvds/blu ray for movies than to have all of these streaming services having dick measuring contests that only hurt the customer at the end. I think the streaming service bubble may be starting to head towards the popping point...

think all production is going to go towards Indiana Jones 5 and the only reason they're keeping Kathleen Kennedy is that there's the expectation that Steven Spielberg still knows how to keep that dummy in her place. And unless she's a total narcissist she's undoubtedly humbled by these last few years.

Please god, keep indiana jones concluded or else they will, I repeat, WILL kill Indy (in and out of universe)...probably gonna have him all old and depressed, just begging to be replaced by a "strong female".
I dont trust Spielberg enough and I doubt Kennedy learned anything from her failures, since she can blame it all on others as women usually do, especially those on power.

I said this before, but lemme explain to you what's going on:

Disney had already all but axed the two new proposed trilogies. They either have more experience than Rian, or a better source inside who told them how its really going to be and got out. Rian is either completely naive, being fed a line a bullshit, is a dream-chasing beta cuck - or quite likely some combo of all three.

These two GoT dingleberries believe they have better prospects, and since their current prospect is "getting yanked around by Disney hoping for a miracle or an executive to get a brain tumor", they are probably right. So rather than getting jerked around by Disney, they are pulling up stakes and trying to find someone who let them make something.

If Rian doesn't drop out of his trilogy project in the next couple of weeks, please have a strong, hearty laugh at this dumbass because what is going on is this:
He and the other scouts are stomping in the woods. Scoutmaster Disney has sent them to go collect some snipes. The two other boys with him have said "This bullshit, I bet they're just fucking with us" and turned around to go back home. Rian is smuggly chuckling to himself "Heh, suckers. More snipes for me!" and trudges onward.

Remember that HUGE netflix deal?

Netflix Wins Overall Film, TV Deal For ‘Game Of Thrones’ Creators David Benioff & D.B. Weiss

EXCLUSIVE: Emmy Award-winning Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have found their new home. Nearly three months after Deadline revealed that Benioff & Weiss were being courte…

The second this happened I knew they would only be "In name only" involved in a Star Wars.

They bounced out which [IMO] means they want to be on Disney's good side

Rian doesnt have prospects beyond grinding out Indie films atm. "It sounds like" [Based on the way its described in media] He had a Handshake deal with Kathleen Kennedy. If he hands in a script then Kennedy can drop it in the trash (on orders from iger). Disney isnt spending any money and as long as he has a nebulous promise then Disney can enforce him keeping his mouth shut about the Last Jedi.

If Kennedy doesn't get renewed (IMO she wont be) his trilogy will get taken out Old Yeller style formally but Disney will give him a Indie Release deal. They dont want the round head doing a tell all when he is a washed up director

Kevin Feige Is making a Star Wars movie. He is the fixer. He is going to teach Lucasfilm how to do things the Marvel Studios way

 

[Doctor of Autism]

I'm still going to have to subscribe to Disney+ for at least a little bit because they're bringing back Gargoyles and the whole series will be available to stream.

Just pirate those shows.

When a chick ghosts you, you don't get to say you dumped her.

 

[Gar For Archer]

Amazing how these types of Star Destroyers only just decided to appear now.

Honestly, this is something they would have been better off pulling in TFA - instead of a donut steel Death Star, make the target a planet-sized automated shipyard that shits out Death Star Destroyers. It can even look 99% identical, just instead of the giant trench being a laser, it can be the hole through which the destroyers are deployed.

Given the time skip between the OT and ST, it’s at least plausible to handwave that Death Star tech has been miniaturized. But in this context it literally makes zero sense why they would suddenly start appearing just NOW.

Yeah, but when you're fucking her hotter sister who's pouring money on you, who cares?

Everything is indicating Knives Out is going to be a hit. Whether this is the Hollywood press sniffing their own farts or not, hard to say at this point. But if it does well he'll definitely have Hollywood career ahead of himself. Just not as a Star Wars director.

edit:

Yeah, but when you're fucking her hotter sister who's pouring money on you, who cares?

Given NetFlix's propensity to swing the axe quickly on underperforming shows, this is one hot sister with the potential to pass on crabs or herpes, though.

Given the cast and given Rian's notoriety it'll have a heck of an opening

it may shit the bed after

I don't like them either.I was getting banned from forums and subreddits when I kept calling them talentless hacks all the way back in season 2 , and I stopped watching season 3. I don't think they ever really got it. Season 1 I liked because they were mostly copying the book. With season 2 they started making changes and OC in such ways that it was obvious they didn't care or understood what the book was doing, but they still followed the book plot well enough for people to get into it. In the end I'm glad people saw them for the hacks they are, but then again there's a high chance Martin dies without finishing the books either so nobody wins.

Given NetFlix's propensity to swing the axe quickly on underperforming shows, this is one hot sister with the potential to pass on crabs or herpes, though.

They have a five year contract and they're gonna get paid 20 million a year each , no matter how unpopular show they make. It's terrible I know

But here would be my concern.....what have they done well that isnt an adaption?

 

[The handsome tard]

Martin is the Gabe of the book world.
"Hopefully it will have been worth the weight wait"

Tho I actually doubt he will finish the books, why? Simple, he knows he cant live up to them. No conclusion will be satisfying enough, at least it would be better than what GOT made...

 

[RomanesEuntDomus]

Why are they planning all this content for dead characters...

...and when do we get ones for Luke, Han and Leia?

And pay Lucas money? Ha.
No, they are finally scrubbed from the franchise and will be replaced by much more desirable characters... such as . . . Rey, I guess.

Oh shit @GeneralFriendliness, you’re going to love this.

Thank fuck. Finally some good news.

Mandalorian will still be made and will get renewed unless it's a total trainwreck because Disney wants to kill Netflix. But we'll be well in to the 2020s decade before a new mainline Star Wars movie is premiered. Lucasfilm will not be shut down though, I think all production is going to go towards Indiana Jones 5 and the only reason they're keeping Kathleen Kennedy is that there's the expectation that Steven Spielberg still knows how to keep that dummy in her place. And unless she's a total narcissist she's undoubtedly humbled by these last few years.

In my imagination, Kathleen Kennedy is kind of like Captain Peachfuzz from Rocky and Bullwinkle, where Lucasfilm is now being run with her in a "control room" without any control over or real connection to how the company is actually run.

I'm still going to have to subscribe to Disney+ for at least a little bit because they're bringing back Gargoyles and the whole series will be available to stream.

Gargoyles is the tits, man. I can understand how someone could be tempted to subscribe to D+, just to marathon the show (and some other stuff) and then discard D+ the next month... but better not do it, just pirate it.

Disney had already all but axed the two new proposed trilogies. They either have more experience than Rian, or a better source inside who told them how its really going to be and got out. Rian is either completely naive, being fed a line a bullshit, is a dream-chasing beta cuck - or quite likely some combo of all three.

As has been said, they have a really good deal from Netflix.
Call me optimistic, but the fact that Disney allows these two chucklefucks to work for their competition means Disney doesn't have much confidence in them (otherwise, they'd shell out some money to keep them on their side).

The article quite clearly presents it that way, a bunch of people ITT just assumed they got canned because they're bitter about how Game of Thrones ended.

Well, as said above, I wouldn't be surprised if Disney didn't have much interest in keeping them on standbye either.
But if Netflix is willing to shell out a shitton of money for these clowns, that means their Hollywood networth is still pretty high, which is kind of ridiculous. I'm never going to watch anything these assholes shit out and I am certainly not the only one.

A marvelized Star Wars universe sounds horrible.
Marvel has entertaining timewasters, but I have to agree with Scorsese, it's just not "cinema". Doesn't mean it's not entertaining, but it's entertainment devoid of a soul.

Thats why they paid Jorge all the money

1-3 Star Wars movies a year till the heat death of the universe with an average box office output of 1b$

D&D, in their own words, were really good at attracting the "NFL-watching and mom audience" Disney really wants to eat up their slop, I expect that anyone within Lucasfilm who still believes they're going to be making regular Star Wars blockbusters post-episode IX is probably disappointed.

And wasn't a Marvelized Star Wars universe basically what everyone thought Disney was going to make before the Last Jedi took a sledgehammer to the franchise's knees?

 

[Judge Holden]

A marvelized Star Wars universe sounds horrible.

A Marvelized star wars, with either the shitty nu-wars characters still being the focus, or a bunch of new characters who will likely be ripoffs of old EU characters focus grouped into utter blandness to ensure "broad appeal to NFL players and soccer moms" in the words of certain hacks...assuming they dont push the inevitable full remake of the prequels/OT forward out of desparation...
