Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Zaryiu]

dat's sexist tho. imagine the peter principle but now you can't say "sorry bob, you fucked up, we gotta let you go", instead in current year tinkerbell twilight (formerly bob) is blowing her oppression whistle all the way to HR.
and that's if he even got the real numbers and not some creative bookkeeping by another diversity hire. once the rot sets in you can find it everywhere.

Oh no, no (I haven't seen it because i never hearf of it and focus more on show that are classics or i hear is good despite being newer)

Only sort of counter point I'd offer you here is:
How big is "Twilight" now? How big is 50 shades right now? Compare that to how big, say,' Bond is.

Your perspective on that makes a cargo cult sort of sense of what they're doing.
Most "Girl" hot trends don't last very long.
Kids (and man children) were buying and playing with star wars toys for 15 years with no new movies.
Obviously then it follows that if you get girls hooked on star wars, they will become loyal consumers since star wars seems to make people into loyal consumers.

It completely ignores what makes Star Wars unique or special. Or that trying to make it a "Girl" property will make it age like a girl property.

Bond is being made woke, Bond is kill

 

[ditto]

And infinitely more funny than The Onion lately.

It was pretty far gone even before they started with the "‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens" lecturing.

Bond is being made woke, Bond is kill

We'll always have Connery, at least until he's censored on Disney+.

Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Tim "Darth Toolman" Talyor? I thought not. Its not a story the Jedi would tell you.

That Sith Dagger looks like the toy version of the actual movie prop. Please tell me that's the case, right? Shit, I love anime made with the intent to sell toys to kids, and that Sith Dagger looks more toyetic than 99% of the shit in those shows. What kid would want to buy that, it looks like some shit sold for a dollar at Dollar Tree or something which their parents bought because they're cheapskates. All the toy knives and swords I had as a kid looked way more realistic. At least make the fucking movie prop look cool rather than look like the characters are waving around a toy!

Resemblance is uncanny.

"Well, first of all, I asked last night. I said, 'What the hell is gender fluid?’ That’s a whole new term," Williams said. "But what I was talking about was about men getting in touch with their softer side of themselves. There’s a phrase that was coined by Carl G. Jung, who was a psychiatrist, who was a contemporary of Sigmund Freud, and they had a splitting of the ways because they had different ideas about the … what do you call it? Consciousness. Unconscious. It’s collective unconsciousness. But he coined a phrase that’s, ‘Anima animus.’ And anima means that is the female counterpart of the male self, and the animus is the male counterpart of the female. So that's what I was referring to."

It became more clear that Williams truly didn't know what gender fluidity was, as it seemed he had conflated it with sexual fluidity.

"I was talking about men getting in touch with the female side of themselves. I wasn’t talking about sex, I wasn’t talking about being gay or straight," he said. "People should read [Jung]. I mean, it would be an interesting education for a lot of people."

I'm replaying KOTOR II and was looking up what some of the "offical" lore is. How the hell can the exile be "canonically" a light side woman named Meetra Surik, if the entire game isn't considered canon anymore? Ditto I guess for Revan being a dude who turned to the light side in the first game.

Man, I'm loving the mental gymnastics Eckhart executes here to try and justify the trainwreck he no doubt feels, almost subconsciously, TRoS will be.

"Oh, sure, Sidious's sudden and completely contrived resurrection is bad, and a race for multiple MacGuffin is dumb as bricks... But at least it's better than mind-control plots and Kylo Ren as the villain, right guys?!"

I'm almost convinced Eckhart gets some nice Disney slush funds here and there to justify his continued devotion to this travesty.

A shame. It looks like he was really on to something when he started bashing the Disney Wars Marvel comics. And it doesn't look like he backtracked because of bad feedback since even the Disney suckers in his community seemed to agree the new comics are shit.

Perhaps Eckhart was worried about being associated with the "fandom menace". In a way his behavior reminds me of Ketwolski, a youtuber who used to criticize STD but stopped and switched to shill the Kurtzman crap and mock the people who don't like the show (Doomcock, Midnight's Edge, Captain April, etc.) right after they promoted one of his videos.

Quite the shame. He's legitimately someone whose attention to Legends lore and fair deliberation in every aspect of SW that isn't directly related to Disney I respect. Like, I don't know any other SW YouTuber quite as knowledgeable about the naval tactics and weapons deployed in SW. He's a tier above the likes of SWTheory and HelloGreedo--and that's the reason I say I'm only nearly convinced Disney pays him to look the other way.

That, or he can't accept the idea that something he loves and identifies with has been murdered and worn as a skin-suit by a soulless mouse. I can buy that too.

I can redeem the entire trilogy for everyone with one scene, at the end of the movie, that would take less than 30 seconds:

Spoiler: TOO HOT FOR KIWI FARMS

After the fade-out, have it slowly fade in on a table around which there's a bunch of 13-15 year olds surrounding a table out with dice, a DM screen, and the rulebooks for the old Star Wars PNP RPG Books. Have the camera pan to one of the kids, who throws his book down on the table.

"....All right, that's bullshit." He screams at the DM.

Run End Credits.

Poetic.

Or they'll go in the exact opposite direction and do something to completely drop the ball even deeper than it already is. Like the horrible thing me and @Judge Holden posted in this thread as a joke ages ago where Plan 9's post-credit scene takes place in a tree house on Earth where a little girl is listening in on an old army radio transmitting a reception from a galaxy far far away about a hero called Rey talking about some Skywalker dude who was just a legend, all the while she's making crude crayon drawings about what she's hearing. The little girl completely in shock over what she just heard runs over to her neighbor's house yelling "George! George! You'll never believe what I just heard!"... And that little girl's name? Kathy Kennedy.

The Elder Scrolls one was pretty good... a few unique recipes mixed in with rehashed ones, while the descriptions provide lore on their respective regions.

The Star Wars one though, is just... the worst of everything.

I actually liked the Elder Scrolls one. The food was actually pretty good, the recipes were detailed, the ideas were unique and the lore was taken from many ES sources instead of just one source (Skyrim, simply to pander to casual audiences only) rather than a bunch of shit that some hipster or the nu-Lucasfilm Story Group came up on the spot, or took from an old source simply to neuter it to the point where its a completely different thing in everything but name.

You're not going to like this...

JJ is just blowing hot air again. We discussed this before and he made a similar bullshit promise to the BBQ community with TFA which turned out to be a load of crap. The only LGBBQ representation TFA got was through a novel tie-in to Wendig's crap where Snap Wexley (the nu-Porkins) was raised by lesbians. Chances are Plan 9 does something equally dumb and has one of its new characters (that one Resistance officer whose actor I can't be bothered to give a shit about) come out as transpositive queer gendered but only in a novel tie-in no one but twitter hipsters will read. Other than that, one of the leaks claims Poe and Finn have a one-sided gay moment (from Poe) before dismissing it as a joke. JJ is just trying to pander to journos for good press. But if they actually have an open tranny or gay couple in the film, you can bet your ass that journos and social media will use it as the ultimate shield against any and all criticism by labeling any negative talk as hate speech.

Someone else already done something very similar back in 1999.

 

[Optimus Prime]

Any word on how the opening of Rise of the Resistance went yesterday at Disney World? I'm assuming it didn't break down since there's nothing but shilling going on from my limited time looking it up.

He didn't know what it is because it's flavor of the week meme idiot shit. Nobody with a job knows what any of that tumblr shit is.

So, basically Darths and Droids?

I suspected as much. A guy says something that is slightly confusing regarding gender performance, and people immediately assume that it means that the individual is gender fluid and they start editing the wikipedia. This happened with Garfield.
