Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Shadfan666xxx000]

This does not change my statement in the slightest.

THEN WHY THE FUCK WAS HIS MURDER OF THEM A BAD ACT?!

It's less that he did it and more how he did it. He was pissed off in revenge and wanted to savor it for pleasure when he should have killed them in austerity and duty.
T. Just dropping shit off the top of my head.

I was just adding to what you said, friend. They were literal sand monsters.

Is that “society of Dagobah” thing implying Yoda’s race comes from the planet? Because that’s fucking stupid. Yoda was living in self-exile due to his failure to stop Palpatine, why would “self-exile” be “go to my hometown”?

"Mother, back home I am. Failed I have."
"Worry not Yoda. Kept clean your room, I have."

Just peeking on the Wookiepedia someone linked a few pages back, there was a book in 1995 that stated Yoda was from Dagobah.
Here's the snip:

Also to add Santa was apparently one of Yoda's species.

They could maybe get away with it if its just some random guy explaining Dagobah is a mysterious place which attracts many powerful beings. Maybe somehow squeeze in a line about the old Grand Master Jedi Yoda finding the place important for some reason, but not spell it out. What did everyone say about George trying to rationalize the force with Midichlorians? That it was a stupid idea, right? Never try to give away the mysticism of a world and at this point Yoda and his species fits into that.

To be fair, the book in question was a reference book that was full of mistakes. Among them being dozens of spelling errors like misnaming planets and claiming that Jacen Solo was freed from his cell in the Shadow Academy by his sister even though he freed himself. No other source after that claimed Yoda was from Dagobah. Still for a 1995 release it could've been worse and it did do other things right while not doing anything exceptional like claim that Luke wet himself until he was 15. As for the Santa thing, that was a joke based on a special Christmas artwork that Ralph McQuarrie did for the West End Games holiday release of SWAJ.

"Discussing Christmas on Halloween? Put you on my shit list I will. Check it twice I will."

And yeah, trying to explain Yoda's species is like Midichlorians 2.0. Just don't go there. Only way I can imagine that there may be more of Yoda's kind on Dagobah is if after he died other members of his kind became aware of it and went there to pay their respects for whatever reason before leaving again. But again its not something that needs to be known and is best left a mystery to maintain their air of mysticism. Or just keep it as ambiguous as possible and just have it be some visitor or other native of Dagobah who talks about Yoda and keeps the whole thing vague, but since the news article claims they're dropping the name of Yoda's species, they're definitely going to throw subtlety out the window with this. The name of Yoda's species is like a fucking taboo.

Oh I didn't mean to say the book said it so it must be so. Just thought it was odd that it got past George's Crusade on talking about Yoda without being edited.

And please no naughty list. Please take these Star Wars/Yoda references from E.T. mentioning Halloween on this spooky and creepy evening.

This brings me to a thought I had the other day. How has E.T. escaped the reboot/sequelizing thing going on? What has kept it safe when other movies have been met with these continuations? Its arguably one of the most iconic movies from the period. How has it not been nailed to the money cross so to speak?

I really don't know quite honestly. I mean, it feels like ET would've been exploited years ago yet nobody's done anything with it outside of occasional toys and merch. I honestly expected some exceptional studio to make an ET miniseries, prequel or reboot by now. Maybe Spielberg has some kind of special fondness for it?

All I know for certain is this interview with Henry Thomas who claims that even Spielberg doesn't want to touch it again. But I'm sure once Spielberg kicks the bucket, we'll get a shitty reboot a decade or so afterwards.

Speaking of Spielberg films, I don't think Jaws has been touched either, which for me was kind of a missed opportunity to make Jaws 19 in 2015.

Only sequel I think Spielberg wants to make is Gremlins 3 without Joe Dante, and WB is planning on making a cartoon show about Gremlins...

Going off old EU lore they'd have built Anakin a giant fuck off statue for his service. Not sure how they changed them in the new stuff (i'll be fucked if I read that dreck) but in the older lore Sand People were murderous jerks whose rite of passage into adulthood was the hunt and slowly kill a living creature with bonus points for sapience and how slowly you kill them.

In the new lore a bunch of people who believe in the force defend the Sand People's religious right to throw anyone who believes in the force off a rooftop.

That is an understatement.

He is the sole reason the dusty old ET ride in Universal Studios isn't long gone. Because when he found out they demolished the one in Studios Hollywood, he blew a gasket and threatened to never work with Universal again if they so much as thought about removing the Orlando installation.

With this whole Yoda thing is really is like Disney is trying to ruin Star Wars on purpose for some The Producers like scheme.

I'm sure Spielberg has control over E.T. and won't let them.

The thing with Jaws is it already got sucked dry, eerily predicting the era of modern Hollywood, it was in fact the first movie that happened to pretty much.

The third and fourth Jaws movies were so dumb, especially the fourth, that it killed it for good, once they thought to incorporate the supernatural in a film series that was simply about a real life animal killing people there was absolutely no going back.

Speaking of Jaws....

That is an understatement.

He is the sole reason the dusty old ET ride in Universal Studios isn't long gone. Because when he found out they demolished the one in Studios Hollywood, he blew a gasket and threatened to never work with Universal again if they so much as thought about removing the Orlando installation.

I'm glad because I love the E.T. ride, I'm still mad about the Jaws ride and the Back To The Future rides closing.

Jaws is dead as a franchise and the shark genre itself is too. There would be no reason to bring it back besides nostalgia...even that wouldnt be enough tho.

About ET, urgh, please, keep it away from these maniacs, my little innocent self is begging for them to leave ET alone. I trust Spielberg to not go all James Cameron and allow this shit to happen as long he gets a paycheck.

Meh, Im not sure about Grimlins, Joe Dante is a pretty talented guy with a great sense of cartoonish humor (Looney Tunes Back in Action was awesome,I dont know what people hated so much about it, was pretty much a love letter to the classics), so not having him back for 3 may not be the best idea. Actually, how about this...leave the series alone? Stop cashing on old properties and actually make new fucking ones, ya wankers!

THEN WHY THE FUCK WAS HIS MURDER OF THEM A BAD ACT?!

If some bumfuck moisture farmer had slaughtered those sand people then anyone from Tatooine would have cheered. But you tell someone from a core world or a peaceful planet 'hey I butchered an entire tribe of sand niggers' they'd have looked at him like he was a monster. Take Padme's reaction as the example. She was damn disturbed.
As for why Anakin himself acted like he was a monster, well he was a Jedi. He had been learning from Obi Wan for like half his life at that point. The Jedi would have condemned him in a heartbeat. Plus Anakin was always a compassionate soul until the Clone Wars hardened him, and even then it was love that drove him to the dark side.

At least thats my attempt at explaining it.

 

[Kiwi Lime Pie]

And you can't just reveal the name of Yoda's species. Not only is their name and origin part of George's most "off-limit" taboo rules but they're supposed to be the most mysterious and eerily omnipresent beings in the galaxy who appear during times of great change or hold positions of power within the Jedi. They're fucking mystics. And now they're going to retcon them to be from Dagobah despite that Yoda went there as part of his own forced exile? It completely devalues the tragedy and loneliness of his story by going down that route.

This serves to further my own opinion that Disney is unable to mess with the movies proper in terms of altering canon, but they will do whatever they can to put less emphasis and importance on those films and the characters and concepts contained therein.

From a more practical and logical point of view, Yoda's decision to go into exile and hide from the Emporer would only make sense if he chose a place the Emperor wouldn't know about or think to consider. If Dagobah was truly Yoda's home planet, one would think Palps would send inquisitors there to search for and either capture or kill Yoda -- or at least try to since this was the era wherethe few remaining Jedi found themselves targeted if not outright killed.

At least that has the easy explanation of Tattooine being psychologically traumatic to Anakin (also no, he was dropped off on the Lars homestead, people who had no relation to Anakin).

I get what you're saying and largely agree because it's not a blood relationship. However, the Lars family were step-relatives by virtue of Cliegg Lars remarrying to Shmi Skywalker, which is part of the reason why I think Obi-Wan chose Owen and Beru to raise Luke in addition to Obi-Wan being close by and the fact Anakin absolutely loathed Tatooine (not to mention the sand would likely wreak havoc on his mechanical suit and internal systems if he was foolish enough to go there as Vader).

Theory : Disney bought Star Wars for an obscene amount, is doing it's best to break even on the production costs of the movies and the shows..and after all good will has been spent will spin Lucasfilm off into it's own company..claim that the "4 Billion dollar" company that is now worth only "millions" was a massive loss..and gets Disney taxbreaks for a few years.

On one hand, sounds insane..on the other I would bet it happened with a sports team at some point.

 

[Manwithn0n0men]

The trouble isn’t nerd culture, it’s the “geek chic” that has arisen over the last ten years or so.

When something goes “mainstream” it inherently has to be watered down almost always.

The 2000s was the best time for nerd culture because there was newfound accessibility and mainstream acceptance, but it was still free to be its own thing.

And they have used Nerd Culture/Geek Chic as a method to export american cultural soft power globally that global audiences wouldnt be smart to yet

I dunno. China was pretty smart to the whole "white left" thing when they noped out of The Last Jedi so hard it lost to part 3 of a Chinese rom-com and didn't last two weeks in theatres. Maybe that's an exception, but I don't follow the general movie trends over there.

TLJ is around the time the trick stopped working. Foreign audiences are getting smarter. But as Joker has shown they arent needed [unless you want a cherry on top]

 

[Poe-Shen Zcela]

Joker's so fucking good. I'm glad the entire landscape of cinema isn't complete shit.

 

[Antipathy]

I really should go and see it.

Everywhere I go, the sentiment is "Disney ruined Star Wars." I think things will be alright.
