Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

verissimus said:
Finn should have just been the protagonist of Rogue One. I highly doubt his story arc could ever have been spread out well for 3 movies.

So what you're saying is... the Death Star plans should have been stolen by a former stormtrooper?

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.

Rian was working with the Story Group. They loved all his ideas

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?

The Lucasfilm story group is there to make sure that Star Wars stories combine the right percentage of Star Wars lore and the right percentage of story ideas to try to sell to their preferred audience

Characters I think had potential in the ST:

* Hux. I wanted him to be the new big bad of the trilogy. Like an amalgamation of Tarkin and Thrawn, he could be the Machiavellian mastermind who uses his intellect and emotional manipulations to strike fear in the hearts of even the most powerful force users.
* Kylo Ren. He could have been a better executed Jacen Solo. Get rid of his obsession with Vader, first and foremost. It does nothing besides pander to the audience.
* Finn. Just make him black Kyle Katarn.
* Rey. Keeping her OP would be alright if it resulted in her naturally succumbing to her ego and becoming a dangerous Sith/Dark Jedi, resulting in a tense three way conflict between Finn and the resistance, Hux and the FO, and a rogue Rey.

A guy can dream...

What you mean having the hero be an insanely outclassed unlikely hero fighting not only his old friends/family in the Nu-Empire but the last of the Skywalker line now fully turned to the darkside and more powerful than pretty much any sith in history?

Maybe have the new-sequels be a nightmare worst-ending scenario where the republic and nu-rebellion are entirely suppressed and the resistance is little more than a handful of cells and individuals scattered accross the galaxy too scared and weak to do shit against the First Order?

Possibly have Rey as a Bastilla like character being at first the "last best hope" of the Jedi and training Finn as her apprentice, only to go mad and betray him and the resistance due to shit done by Kylo and the First order?

You want there to be actual fucking tension and a some kind of emotional stake in wondering how the fuck the heroes might salvage the situation and whether anyone can truly be saved?

You fucking nazi

I'm expecting the massive fall-off that TLJ had in between weekends 1 and 2 but on a much greater scale

'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' fell more than $151 million between its first and second weekends of domestic release.

Making the movies a weak retread of the Old Trilogy alone doomed them. They had to shoehorn a new and deadlier empire ruled by a Palpatine Wannabe so they could force the heroes to be in the low. If they were really trying to be unconventional then they should have had First Order be the ones in hiding and acting through subterfuge.

So I decided to tune in to my local news network to see how exceptional they're being today, and then they start talking about upcoming movies... They bring up Knives Out and start shilling for it insanely. Even saying "from the creators of Star Wars comes their latest film Knives Out"! The "creators of Star Wars"? Really...? Are you fucking shitting me with this?!

And instead of this Chad, we get a cheap mexican knockoff who dies as a second banana and a black stormtrooper turned into a racist caricature.

Which is what I've been saying from the start. Disney Wars has been creatively bankrupt from the beginning. They took the safest and least inspired route possible yet people still acted as if TFA was a good starting point. It fucking wasn't. It was a hollow pseudo-remake of better movies that brought absolutely nothing new except making an ex-trooper a character outside of a novel or game. Everything was hollow JJ lensflares and memberry garbage. They had so much room and centuries for stories, and if they wanted full creative freedom they could've had this shit take place hundreds of years into the future, but nope. Instead they take the laziest (JJ) and worst (Rian) paths imaginable, leading up to a third film that's just a horribly hollow and Current Year adaptation of the Dark Empire comics.

Wait when did Disney buyout Universal Pictures and put ET in Star Wars? Is LF/Disney that desperate for content they have to poach other companies IP to come up with ideas??



Did Daisey get Dicked down by HIs Majesty? Wat?

I'm more bothered by the fact that this is an actual Disney-approved article and that they shamelessly compare these things to the Space Jockeys from Prometheus... Yeah, sure. Just compare Disney's abominations to the most divisive things to ever hit the Alien/Predator franchises... All the while acting as if Disney's ET precursors with pointy heads are brilliant and that Disney is the first to do this with SW. Its like nothing but Disney exists to them and anything that came before Disney (even if it came from George himself) is a nonexistent mute point, unless its the prequels which now they act as if they give a shit about because JJ promised a lot of prequel references in IX.

That movie is looking to be so incredibly smug. I've already read that it's more a political movie about rich people (they have "my son is a Nazi incel" and "small loan of a million dollars" jokes) with a moral and sweet latina immigrant than a whodunnit, so that already pisses me off.

So this is a weird account I just discovered.

At first glance I thought this was a shilling account for Disney judging from how this guy is tracking the seating at theaters for Star Wars and Knives Out, but it seems to be also be an anti-Disney Wars account at the same time?

Is Disney commanding shills to take on a controlled opposition approach now? Because this reads like a gaslighting tactic.

There is a theory IF Knives Out does well Rian Johnson will offically Drop SW

Well, he admitted it....but even in the middle of reading the article........I stopped caring.

Now I'm viewing this as a desperate Disney attempt at publicity for this failing movie. FAIL.

Yep, this fucker's career is probably over after this. He couldn't hide it anymore after Ridley sold him out. Admittedly, I don't really care for Boyega as a person since, before IX went into production, he spent most of his time on Twitter and social media being smug as shit, teasing PoeFinn garbage or arguing, targeting or hating on fans who did not like Disney shit, TLJ or even just Rey's character, even if said fans didn't have anything against Boyega or said that Finn was the only good thing in the films. He even got into an argument with some anti-Disney youtubers a few years ago who, despite being Disney haters, were still huge fans of his, but that changed when he went ape shit on them. Now though, I almost feel sorry for him. He's not as hostile as he used to be online, he actually sympathizes with the Disney haters and pre-Disney fans now (to a degree), he's actually willing to be open about his contempt towards Disney (and even JJ, but he never calls him by name even though its obvious). This dumb shit went from rising star, to comedy act stereotype to total washout in less than a decade. And now his character is doomed to jester status as Rey's Steppin Fetchit caddie and a homoerotic ending with Poe (according to the leaks claiming that Poe and him have a "hint" or "gay moment" at the end which they quickly try to hide) but that's what he gets for pandering to shippers.
r-romance....jpg

These are the reactions Boyega actually made during an interview on Oprah or some shit back in 2015 after Poe's actor told the host that he was definitely trying to "romance" Boyega's character. This made the audience of soy chugging shippers applaud till their hands got sore. So to appease the crowds Boyega went along with it for the sake of fleeting hollow fame. I'm sure he's totally not regretting every decision he's made up until now. Nope.
