Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Übertroon]

Imagine making a star wars game where you play as a jedi, and the abilities you can learn include force pull, force push, jedi flip, and wall run, amazing, really exciting stuff

They have a nighsister that joins the protagonist, but apparently it would be silly to learn some of her abilities

 

[RomanesEuntDomus]

Know what I'd do? Explore other characters, other stories.... IN THE PAST! I mean, how long have these Dragon Balls existed? Didn't other people hunt them before Goku and pals? What about the wider universe? Namek had it's own Dragon Balls, does everybody? We have Saiyans and Nameks and whateverthefuck Frieza was, so... Why not make something within the DB universe that we haven't seen yet?

Problem is, the world of Dragonball isn't particularly interesting, it really isn't. It's just earth with a few gimmicks and seven magical balls that summon a dragon. What sells the setting are the characters and their interactions. So you need a story that features the original cast or at least somehow ties them into the plot, before you can do anything else.

It's the similar with Star Wars.

Anyway, changing the topic real quick here, the Sonic trailer is about to break 1 million likes with only 14k dislikes while Plan 9 is still stuck on 495k and 89k dislikes.

At the rate its going, this may actually hit 30 million views by the end of the month or sooner.

That is absolutely devastating. Fuck. Dare I hope Sonic will blow Plan IX out of the water?

I know there were a few people bitching about them back in the summer but goddamn. How did BF2 get it right and FO didn't? They're on the same engine from the same publisher FFS.

They look like that shit demon from Dogma, just add little horns.

Holy Moses, Disney admitted in that article that "D-O" doesn't have a purpose...they NEVER EVEN PUT THE TIME IN TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HE IS FOR when making up the new character. Shameful!

Watch him turn out to be the hairdryer that Chewie's always wished for all this time. Last shot: Chewie walks off into the sunset, "Peace, bitches!"

They try to impress (or should I say: distract) people with poorly executed cutesy-wootsy bullshit.
BB-8 was the silly hijinks droid of TLJ, now we have silly hijinks robot and cutesy-wootsy "monkey see monkey do" robot.

So Hot Toys, who makes 12" dolls action figures that cost hundreds of dollars, and I THOUGHT were known for scanning actual actors, is releasing a ROTS Rey, because of course they are, complete with training droid and training helmet (training?), but look at this:

watching Empire Despecialized, chuckled how when Luke jumps Vader's body language is like this subdued "well, shit."

where the hell have you been
that old man's mad

Now wait. What exactly am I doing with this fish in my ear?

 

[I'm Mrs. Mustachios!]

Who is this character? Why does she have her mouth closed?

 

[Lodoss Warrior]

Fallen Order feels like a new version of Force Unleashed, which I found interesting back in 2008 in that it showed us new lore surrounding Darth Vader and the Empire. Fallen Order feels like nothing special.

Though I'm suspecting this would be a slight commercial disappointment considering this is not the kind of game EA would support,

I actually think the game looks decent. From the methodical gameplay pace to the non-linearity, it honestly seems like some care was put into Fallen Order. It looks like less of a cash-grab than The Force Unleashed II.

I might even be tempted to say that it's almost adequate as baby's first Jedi Knight/Jedi Academy. You can read that as a backhanded compliment--because it sort of is--but, to be fair, the original Force Unleashed doesn't even compare to those two games.

So remember how the second Sonic trailer got quicker views than Episode IX’s final trailer, it looks Disney has pushed back the Kingsman prequel to September and avoiding the Sonic movie (opening on the same day as Kingsman was) now.

Even the Mouse knows the fucking Sonic movie will be a bigger hit than expected now.

If sonic comes within spitting distance of Rey of the Shitwalker, I will 100% go buy a ticket just to try and push it over.

I am 100% more excited for Sonic than Star Wars.

 

[Adamska]

If sonic comes within spitting distance of Rey of the Shitwalker, I will 100% go buy a ticket just to try and push it over.

I'm legit going to watch it because the new trailer makes it actually look funny akin to Detective Pikachu, Jim Carrey just hamming it off his meds will very likely be great even if the film is kind of shit, and Paramount listening to fans and doing edits and rescheduling the movie are good signs in the industry to support.

It's amazing that this is the other big movie I care about coming out soon. This is Hollywood at its shittest.

Its not that hard to put in some "care" when all you have to do is copy the gameplay and layout of pre-existing gritty "action/adventure" platformers, like Prince of Persia. The game would honestly fair better if its characters and story weren't so obnoxious, sequel focused and existed solely to sale you on nu-canon and glorifying Debra Wilson's character who is depicted as a 20-something Jedi survivor despite looking 70 years old who has to own Vader. At least when Starkiller got into a tussle with Vader, it served as a symbol of the monster Vader himself had created and apprentice overcoming the master. With this new shit, its just Disney trying to glorify their OCs by having them shit on what came before.

Back on the topic of the Mandalorian, again I hope the show sticks to the formula of episode 2 rather than episode 1 which was just chock full of sequel references and felt watered down with a hollow plot. And as for the references, they don't make much sense since according to the guide and credits, the aliens seen in the episode are supposed to be the same ones from the Disney films, despite said characters existing 30 years in the past or 20 years in the future while still wearing the exact same get up. Even that Constable Zuvio guy who was cut from TFA yet had a fanclub for some reason is in this looking exactly the same and wearing the same outfit, as with the orange trans Rodian who's just a recycled costume from Rogue One but they label xher as the same character. Yet coincidentally they're all the same ones from other Disney movies (even the ones set decades apart) and are all in the same bar now, as if all the aliens in galaxy are just that limited in numbers. At best it would've been better to not make them the same characters and just refer to them as lookalikes of the same species. But there being so many Disney aliens right off in the first episode makes one wonder about Filoni's claims regarding continuity. The only pro about them was them actually having some classic aliens mixed in unlike with the Disney films where its only new aliens (while the prequels at least mixed old in with the new to ease you into accepting them) and the only new alien (the fish guy with blue skin) who has never appeared in anything Disney before actually fits in better with traditional SW alien designs than most of Disney's recent shitters.

Yeah, the thing that's turning me off from this game is the... uninspired story. Yes, Disney, I get it, Darth Vader is really badass, you don't need to portray his threat from the perspective of side-characters to bludgeon that point any further.

This is, like, the third time they've pulled the Vader card? First with Rogue One, then with Rebels. The Force Unleashed, for as much as I'm not a huge fan of its gameplay, at least got the proper idea of Vader across. He's not supposed to be a badass threat: he's a mysterious but ultimately servile lapdog in A New Hope, a dark reflection of Luke in The Empire Strikes Back, and finally a flawed man who needs to be convinced of his own self-worth in Return of the Jedi.

These aspects of Vader's character received better exploration in TFU: he's a cruel mentor to Galen, but it's obvious that, deep down, he's using Galen as an emotional replacement for his dead family. Unfortunately, he's been too whipped by Sidious to do anything other than meekly follow whatever order Sidious demands, so he tries (and fails) to kill his apprentice. Ultimately, their last interaction has Galen reject Vader's path, seeing how pathetic the cyborg is behind the mask. That is something I always admired about the game.

So TL;DR: Fallen Order > TFU gameplay, TFU > FO story

Honestly I have no interest in it because I was never a huge Sonic fan..and I hate Jim Carrey, that stupid "joke" about him being "the one in charge" in the first trailer that went on forever instantly turned me off to the movie.

 

[Absolutego]

I gotta say, having finally watched the first two episodes, I have a lot of mixed feelings.

This is basically what I expected Disney Star Wars to be when they announced they bought Lucasfilm. It's not as captivating/epic as the OT, far less embarrassing than the prequels, and maybe a little too modernized for my taste, but it still expands the world in an interesting way and keeps me somewhat hooked. I like the main character, it admittedly has always been pretty hard to take Mandalorians seriously since I cannot imagine why none of the reverence the universe seems to hold these people in ever manifested in even a minute of Boba Fett's entire screentime. The obvious pandering with the alien baby irks me a bit but that's always a species I was keen to know more about, so I'm open to it being potentially good. The "I have spoken" dude was pretty fun. Jawas were maybe a bit too on the comic relief end of the spectrum for my taste but they weren't too far gone. I liked how spinny the IG-88 donut steel was, as silly as that sounds.

Where we are now, I'm just skeptical it'll all pan out and inevitably look at everything through the most cynical eye possible. Had they taken this direction from the onset they'd probably have 2 movies in the 2 billion+ category and be eagerly anticipating a third in six weeks. This is literally all they had to do to make money.

(and before the inevitable reminder to plz not give Disney money is thrown my way, no amount of brief quality in Star Wars is going to get me to pay for another fucking streaming service, particularly to the company needing my cash the absolute least)

also I briefly thought the Carl Weathers cameo was Lando and immediately was embarrassed once I realized my mistake

Kingsman? They own fucking Kingsman now?

What the shit, how much of Hollywood do they control now?

 

[Exceptionally Exceptional]

Kingsman? They own fucking Kingsman now?

What the shit, how much of Hollywood do they control now?

Well, we know they own about 35% of the film industry now, not sure how much of television itself they own. They don't seem to have any real assets in the video game industry given their leasing of the Star Wars IP to EA, which kinda shows that it's an industry they know nearly nothing about if they thought EA was the best choice.

Either way, they own too fucking much now. They're just going to push forward the continuing stagnation of pretty much any and all entertainment industries they get their fingers into.

 

[Miller]

that Constable Zuvio guy who was cut from TFA yet had a fanclub for some reason

Do we know who created that fanclub? It really felt like Disney pulled the same thing with the Porgs in TLJ, I think the Porg "fanclub" was created by Matt Martin from the Story Group (we all remember the pics of him and his gf surrounded by Porg merch).

So Hot Toys, who makes 12" dolls action figures that cost hundreds of dollars, and I THOUGHT were known for scanning actual actors, is releasing a ROTS Rey, because of course they are, complete with training droid and training helmet (training?), but look at this:

They really should have gone with the Old Man Fett angle for the Mandalorian. Temuera Morrison did a damn good job as Jango and he still looks for a man in his late 50s. He had a really good 'I'll slit you up for 10 bucks' stare when he met Obi Wan. Must be the Maori in him.
