Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

If you were really passive-aggressive you'd show up cosplaying as Captain Kirk.

.....I have a friend who unironically did this for Episode 3.

What I’m curious is why the hell Disney thinks this will get nominated for Best Picture when the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, National Board of Review, and AFI have not named this as one of the best of the year.

Ideological capture. The academy is completely in the tank for the establishment.
Thing is, I don't think even they give a shit at this point.
 
I simply stopped caring about the nuTrilogy, but... I expected Finn to be the badass action guy with a dark past. He was supposed to be a stormtrooper who trained since he was abducted as a child. Ergo something between a clone and a imperial storm trooper. What a waste.
Or what if other troopers were like him, could break free. What if he could free his brothers? [a Character arc alluded to in some of the deleted scenes]

Also... So his friend got shot so later he have decided to mow them down while escaping. Even the Force Awakens is so bad.
Also they just recycled the dark empire books as a plot in the end for the trilogy. meh
 
You know, I haven't seen anyone bring this up yet about the Mandalorian, but with this last episode (#5), I feel that we've gone from "pretty well-made fan-film" to "not at all Star Wars."

Was the purpose of even showing Mos Eisley to now have it nearly abandoned? And of course we HAD TO go to the Cantina. Not just any cantina, of which there must be many...but THE one, because of course we did. And it was....full of droids. Wow. That was a really funny, ironic subversion of my expectations, there.

We did manage to find a different docking bay to use other than 94, but it was "run" by an Ugnaught woman and three CGI pit droids that were, once again, comic relief that wasn't funny. They just lifted that right outta the Prequels, and set it down right in The Mandalorian. Without even putting any effort into it.

I can't stop there, though. Suddenly, there are two Tusken Raiders standing behind you, ready to pounce like the fierce animalistic warriors they are, and.......then they just stand there, like fat cosplayers at a convention? And do sign language?! What the hell?!!

I could go on, but they pull out these Memberberry things, and they almost always fail, fall flat, or are just used so incorrectly that it feels just WRONG. The whole thing feels like Star Wars Bizarroworld. It's like they passed out costumes, and all the actors were Star Trek fans (no offense).

The whole thing was anticlimactic, and no one here's surprised because there's no way this series can hold the small amount of momentum that it had when we knew much less. The farther this goes, the stupider it's going to get.

now she will be paid a lot more for that
But she doesn't have the figure to justify that. Now if she looked like this though…

Well Disney wanting the comics produced in house makes sense and Marvel didn't go to complete dogshit until 2015 3 years after Disney bought LF.

EA is also forgivable to me until the Battlefield debacle.
Marvels comics was already getting in trouble since at least 2004 (true it was only partially in trouble but among other problems Bendis wrote Avengers Disassembled which was a precursor for a lot of bad writing, hell they shit on Captain America since 2000, in some case bad writing from the 90's still fuck up comics today and I can go further but i think i made my point.
EA is never forgivable
 
Boyega's character was a real misstep, people thought Jar Jar Binks was bad, here we have a visible black guy (as opposed to a black guy wearing an outfit so that he can be greenscreened with an annoying creature) playing a bumbling clown who might as well have been named something like Sleep 'n' Eat or Dusky Jones. "Aw lawd, naw Mista Poe, I aint's goin' in dat spooky place, I'ms a scairt o' haints!"

When he picked up that Lightsaber I fucking felt that both times he did it. He swung without grace, he stumbled, but it was still a weapon and he was still a soldier so he still managed to put up a fight. He fucking earned Luke's saber by the end of the film and is unironically, ignoring The Last Jedi, one of my favorite characters from the franchise. (As far as films are concerned. If I was into the books I get the feeling I'd feel differently.)

Of course, I was rooting for Rey too. Spunky and kind of directionless, I thought she was going to be a decent foil to Finn and that the two would share an "opposites attract" dynamic throughout the trilogy. But the second the two separated all hell broke loose and it was quite clear that the story was more focused on making Rey as "the best" as possible.
