Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[SuperSheep]

As for Delenn....why I think the casting choice is obvious...

Nah, Delenn's going to be a man, who transitions into a woman as part of her Chrysalis stage.

Though at least this was the original idea way back when. They dropped it because voice altering technology was not advanced enough to pull off the effect.

It's 2k more than the last time I checked. For a Star Wars film, this is a very bad sign.

Oof.

My smug vindication is almost ready.

 

[Marissa Moira]

So is it true that the Baby Yoda is literally just OG Yoda who gets reincarnated Avatar style, except it's the same damn body every time?

Like when he said he was 800 years old it was across multiple lifetimes?

Who cares?
I mean really

I don't direct this at you directly, more to point out this is how lame and gay star wars is now. I don't care.

JJ and the Story Group or how much of a damn they all actually give despite Disney shills claiming they care more about continuity than ever before. Then again they'll say just about anything to defend this shit.

To be fair, if I was directing a Star Wars movie, or if I had enough influences with the higher-ups, I would ignore the story group too. Why do we need them again?

It's not like they are that good with continuity considering how much they have messed up with the comics and novels. AND with them still, around, Ryan Johnson was still able to pull out lore out of his ass with things like superman Leia, and force Skype.

Don't get me wrong, I get how every big story franchise needs an editor or overseer, but this group of yes men don't cut it.

I don't think so? Last I heard it's actually that a member of Yoda's species is only born at momentous occasions in the galaxy or something.

No, as far as I can tell at least. They seem to be following a similar logic to Pre-Disney in that there's obviously other members of the species (as seen with Yaddle) and that members appear to the Galactic community when they're needed most. Also the baby is over 50 fucking years old for some reason, being born decades before ANH according to Disney (which means he was around when Yoda and Yaddle were still alive at the same time), which makes little sense to me since Yoda is only 900 years old (in both old and nu-canon) and this baby is 50 despite still being stuck in a newborn state, which means this thing probably only ages 1 year for every 100 years (more or less) and as such Yoda should only look like a 9 year old rather than a prune. And Yoda was only 96 in old canon and 100 in nu-canon when he became a Jedi Master. Although one way to explain this would be that they only stay babies for the first 50 years or so (despite how inconvenient this would be for both the parent and child) after which they start aging faster to a more appropriate age before the aging process slows down again. Also this whole age business bugs me. Yoda's species was supposed to be one of the more long lived ones, yet now they have that taken away from them by Orange Yoda who is probably 2000 or 4000 years old.

But this is probably the most likely answer.

On another note...

If this isn't the biggest confirmation that Wookieepedia is now effectively run by Disney, I don't know what is. As if the Galaxy's Edge and Lucasfilm employees on there didn't make it obvious enough that the site is just one big sellout.

Edit:

The Precursors in ‘Jedi: Fallen Order’ Who Game-Change the Force

We learn more about the Force in 'Jedi: Fallen Order', and a precursor race that consisted of many, if not 100%, force-sensitives.

www.fandom.com

Wait, so Fallen Order sets up those ugly pointy-brow guys (who look like the horse things from TLJ) as the founders of SW civilization, the first jedi/siths and the "gods" "goddesses"? WTF the article even uses a fucking Space Jockeys reference. Is this true @Hexidecimal? This is even more contradictory considering that the new Resistance cartoon implies that the Rakata (the slave masters from KOTOR who unintentionally brought most of the galaxy together through brutality) still exist in nu-canon along with the Kwa. The game has fucking Dathomir too, so the least they could've done was just use the Kwa instead (the guys who pretty much started the proto-jedi and got the Rakata off their primitive asses) if they wanted to introduce the precursors. This along with fucking over Ilum feels like they just want to rape everything that came before Disney.

“I offer this record of our civilization to those who will follow. Despite our wisdom and technological achievement, we face extinction. Dogma blinded us to the path of balance and gradually we allowed our pride to corrupt us. The greater control we sought, the further we fell into ruin. I lead the remnants of my people into the great unknown, hoping that we finally find peace.” – Unnamed Zeffonian sage

Clearly the current way of doing things – an unyielding and literal black-and-white view of the Force – will be the path to mutually assured destruction for the Jedi and Sith factions.

Fortunately, the concept of moving beyond the rigidity of this two-party system is taking root in the current times of 34 ABY. On the one hand we have venerable Jedi Masters like Luke Skywalker and Yoda burning down the last remaining vestiges of their Order (at least symbolically). And at the other end of the morality scale we have Kylo Ren, a Sith inheritor who’s seeking to “burn down the past — killing it, if he has to.” That said, whether this shift in sensibilities will be enough to prevent history from repeating itself remains to be seen.

LUKE, YODA AND KYLO WERE RIGHT IN WANTING TO DESTROY THE PAST AND THE JEDI! LET THE PAST DIE! KILL IT IF YOU HAVE TO!

The author of this garbage and whoever put those fuckers in the game deserve to have my foot introduced to their ass.

 

[Godzilla@1989]

Look, I understand the reaction to the mandalorian, but how fucking sad that SW is now reduced to streaming services.

lmao, the Legends article for Yoda's species is apparently the one everyone is going to.

Also, that article is a joke. First of all, it claims that Kylo and Rey are somehow grey Force users. Second of all, it somehow seems to think that The Last Jedi's ultimate conclusion wasn't that Rey was still a Jedi and Kylo is a nu-Sith. Third of all, it claims that these nu-Rakata are apparently recommending grey Force users or some nonsense because of this:

“I offer this record of our civilization to those who will follow. Despite our wisdom and technological achievement, we face extinction. Dogma blinded us to the path of balance and gradually we allowed our pride to corrupt us. The greater control we sought, the further we fell into ruin. I lead the remnants of my people into the great unknown, hoping that we finally find peace.” – Unnamed Zeffonian sage

This person must not know anything about Star Wars, because this criticism of the Jedi is the point of the prequels. Balance also doesn't mean letting the Sith run free, it means removing the Sith from corrupting the Force and reforming the Jedi to be better. There is no moral equivalence between the light side and dark side in Star Wars, and no middle ground. Objectively, the light side is correct. Love it or hate, that's how it is, and doing anything other than that is perverting George's vision. I think Kreia and Vergere were interesting characters with interesting points, but they were ultimately dark side adjacent. Also, that author is seriously if he thinks IX is going to be any more than Kylo dying and Rey rebuilding the Jedi, because the leaks already revealed that's what's going to happen.

the only good thing about the new trilogy is Finn. Hes just more interesting as a character while Rey is dull and boring.

This is a point I want to bring up:

I think the reason why there was no plan for this trilogy was because Iger threw out the outline George had for Episodes 7-9 because really wanted to play it safe in the hopes the normies would pay to see it.

 

[Creep3r]

Too bad the character is completely wasted in potential and its made all the more worse since he's the only remotely original thing to come from Disney's awful films. Even Boyega himself admits that he "had to fight" to get his character a bigger role in IX because JJ nor anyone else actually gives a damn about him outside of making him the token comic relief black guy and ex-slave character.

Like seriously, Disney had dozens of good ex-stormtrooper stories from before the buyout to adapt or use for ideas, and instead they do this bullshit.

I legit thought he was going to the be the main character during the first third of TFA.

Honestly, a movie about a stormtrooper holding his friend as he dies, realizing that war is hell and then getting severe PTSD would've been more interesting than the shit they gave us. They could've moved things from there and told us that maybe he had a connection to the force and he just didn't know about it since he grew up as a soldier and then show him slowly learning more about what the force is, what the Jedi and Sith are and so on.

But no, Rey is all we get. And we obviously can't have a character more interesting than Rey.

Speaking of Finn and Rey.

Rey and Finn should’ve been combined to form a new character called Finn. What they should’ve of done is make Finn into a Jedi that discovers he unknowingly has the Force after the barely survives a fight with Kylo Ren and goes to find Luke and train him.

But nope, Kennedy had to have her agenda or the highway.

So Daisy threw Boyega under the bus to save her own flat ass even after he already got screwed over by Disney? Gee, and people were telling me Disney was supposed to be progressive and inclusive.

I believe in Force Awakens they hinted at him being force sensitive. He was able to wield a light saber pretty well and put up a decent fight against Kylo before he got his back slashed. There was also the scene were he hears the screams of people before he looks up at the sky to see star killer base destroying an entire system of planets. Its similar to how Kenobi felt the people of Alderaan die in A New Hope.
