Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Cyril Sneer]

I really........really.....genuinely fucking hate to say this but....back in the day one of the only positive things people said about Karen Traviss was that she was competent at writing the lines/characterisations of soldiers and military people due to the fact she served in some capacity and had a family history in the military or some shit, even if she wrote everyone else to be drooling fucktards and wrote about the "bigger picture" of various wars with less skill than your average Wehrboo with a Guderian bodypillow*

Honestly this is one thing even the absolute most abject fucking reprobates of the old EU and old Fandom had. They actually genuinely got invested in some specific part of the mythos that appealed to them, even if they did it at the expense of everything else, be it ultra mandalorians or new mary sue jedi or waifu shotacon sith or S&M aliens....atleast they cared about the autistic shit they spewed

To be honest, much of the hostility directed at Traviss's writing from a characterization perspective seems more the result of autistic nerd-rage over the fact that she depicted her Jedi characters as being less-than-perfect at everything than any particular hyper-competence on the part of her Mandos, which is stupid for a number of reasons, not least of which is A: that the EU had been portraying Boba Fett and other Mandalorians as one-man armies who could single-handedly wipe out entire Imperial garrisons for ages before she ever got hired on to write SW fiction, and B: the Clone Wars was by design a conflict designed to fuck up every normal instinct that the Jedi had and put them at a permanent disadvantage, where by contrast the Mandalorians were in their element in the same situation.

* To use one infamous example, she was absolutely fanatical for some autistic reason about insisting in her work that the Clone Wars were smaller in scale and involved fewer soldiers than the Eastern Front of WW2 despite.....ya know....being galaxy level conflicts

I never really quite figured out why she chose that particular hill to die upon, so to speak. Still, the amount of salt that the Minimalist-vs-Maximalist inspired on a daily basis was pretty funny to watch at the time.

Will this thread get to 1000 pages before Plan IX gets to theaters?>

Much like The Fall of Soywalker, I expect this thread to peter and reach below such expectations right before the film's release.

Unlike that film, this thread will probably surge back into popularity when the bomb finally blows up. If nothing else, we'll have a lot of Disney salt to laugh at.

I doubt it, unless days before release we get hit with a big wave of non-regular posters and newfags. Still, I never expected this thread to reach 900 pages or 1 million views in just a year or so. Would that make it the biggest and most active thread in Multimedia?

What it feels like....the JJ Abrams-Rian Johnson-KK Star Wars movies will become their own continuity [like Legends]

It makes sense. We're picking at and mourning over the biggest loss in sci-fi.

The... "smart" move, I guess, is to set whatever films that succeed this trilogy so far into the future that the plot can handwave away the previous canon (and perhaps sucker in more credulous Legends fans) as, "one of multiple legends, each as potentially true as the other."

I mean is their any sci-fi fandom thats BIG [and that has a TV and/or movie adaption] not going through a loss right now?

Would be easier to make a list about what franchise isn't getting its shit fucked.

The thread did have the benefit of being the progenitor of the LEGO legal lols so that helped.

What I've been trying to figure out is why Disney has decided to run Frozen 2 in November. I guess they didn't want to release Star Wars and it directly against each other, but Frozen 2 will still be in theaters when 9 releases and will likely still pull sales. Just seems strange to me.

Frozen = girls, Star Wars = boys. Despite what the PR people say, Didney HQ don't actually drink their woke koolaid.

At least it's shorter than TLJ, if only by 11 minutes. Hopefully it's paced better to sit through. God that fucking movie felt like en eternity.

At least it’s not 155 minutes initially, though I’m still wondering which of the three cuts is the one releasing in theaters.

Gut says Iger cut, money’s on JJ cut.

Latest rumors I am hearing is their is an Amalgam of the Iger, JJ, and Lucas cut going to theaters

It’s going to be a cringe fest. Though I’ll be looking forward to the shills demanding “Synder-cut” style version after hypocritically bashing the DC fanboys.
