Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Godzilla@1989]

Wow. Not even the FUCKING DIRECTOR gets to see the script before filming? That's actually unbelievable. Where's the source for this bombshell?

JJ said in March he signed on without reading the script.

J.J. Abrams opens up about "Star Wars: Episode IX" directing fears

Abrams says the trilogy-concluding film is becoming "incredibly special" in the editing room

[RomanesEuntDomus]

If this fallout between the actors escalates further, there's a good chance it'll tarnish Plan IX's launch. Hell, if it turns out that the stars dislike each other, it might really blow a hole into its revenue, since it threatens the whole "Oh we loved making these movies just soooo much" bullshit. It would break the fantasy world where the movie making was a joyous adventure for all people involved, it would disenchant many fans, I guess.

When all this shit started with Daisy talking about how her and Boyega weren't any different, I was reminded of the Dirty Dancing actors.
Patrick Swayze was some random guy from a poor family that became a dancer through many hardships and had to work his ass off to become an actor. His co-star, Jennifer Grey, pretty much just asked her rich, influential daddy to make her a movie star and she had a really bad attitude and some high-and-mighty air about herself.
Swayze loathed her from the second he met her.

Now, we have this shitshow starting to break lose. Given Boyega's attitude in the past, I wouldn't put it past him to fire back and eventually snap and spill some beans about all this crap. If he blurts out that they reshot scene after scene since no one fucking knew how to fix this movie after TLJ bumfucked the trilogy, it would be just appropriate that this is a late December release, cause that would make my Christmas unforgettable this year.

- The cast and director openly shittalking the previous film and the direction of the franchise

The fact that this happened means that most likely Disney allowed it. If that isn't the final, it's at least one of the last nails in the coffin of Ruin's trilogy.

- Said leaks gain a massively negative reception with pretty much everybody comparing it to the infamous and universally loathed Game of Thrones finale season

Gets even funnier when you consider that the German branch of a fucking Fast-Food chain spoiled major plotpoints a week before release.

 

[Judge Holden]

Oh yeah and RedLetterMedia are quasi fascist for talking shit about Star Wars now

 

[Creep3r]

Looks like Japan did have some special footage shown after all, but it was only 5 minutes of it. The footage is Leia and Snap Wexley searching through the jungle for a ship and 3PO revealing that he actually CAN read the sith runes on the dagger, his programming just forbids him from reading it out loud for some reason because its "forbidden" which results in Poe saying “Oh, the ONE TIME we WANT you to talk…”... You fucking faggot, quit pretending like you're Han Solo and that you actually know this droid whose footprints you aren't even worthy to lick.


Also, Disney+ teases their godawful "secret show" for 2020 which people keep speculating is Dr. Aphra...

Exclusive: Secret Star Wars live-action show may hit Disney+ in 2020

Filming for the unannounced series is reportedly already underway.

Seriously, why is this obnoxious bitch getting her own show while so many other better characters and stories get the shaft? Her comic is the lowest selling one among Marvel's SW comics. You could do an adaptation of that damn Vader series instead which is actually your best seller, or an adaptation of the superior Dark Horse stories, but instead you settle for fucking Dr. Aphra? This obnoxious, pretentious, know it all (IQ Infinity), bitch who quips more than any character ever conceived by Whedon is the one you want to embody SW from now? Is it because you desperately need a lead LGBTBBQ character now that the crappy movies won't have any? Is that what JJ meant for BBQ representation in IX? Were the rumors about Aphra's ship being in the movie as helping lead the charge against Palpy's fleet true? This is getting more forced than Batwoman. Seriously, just let this godawful character die already.

Also I think Inverse has disabled comments as I can't see them anymore... How long has this being going on? What's with the silence campaign?

Also this happened. "Independent" Japanese artists doing Disney "fanart" got caught for being on Disney's payroll.

Disney Accused of Snow Job Over ‘Frozen 2’ Tweet Apology

Japanese artists hired to promote Disney’s movie “Frozen 2” on Twitter said they were instructed to hide that they were paid for the work, contradicting Disney’s initial explanation that the omission was accidental.

[RumblyTumbly]

Maybe I'm weird because I grew up liking shit that gets bashed all the fucking time (Pro Wrestling, Godzilla, 80s cartoons like He-Man, etc.) but I just don't understand this mentality of silencing and/or shaming people that hate the shit that you like.

I don't need the rest of the world to like my shit. As long as I get to enjoy it without any roadblocks, what's the problem?

I mean are you so trapped in your little bubble that you can't stand the idea of someone not liking something that you like? Or is this all so politically motivated that you have to defend your nerd hobby with near religious zeal?

 

[Creep3r]

We're in the middle of the 12 Days of Exogol. We could make an carol chronicling all of the insane happenings leading up to the death of a cultural touchstone.

ON THE 6TH DAY OF EXOGOL THE LEAKS DID SAY TO ME "KYLO REN FUCKING DIES!"

 

[verissimus]

The fuck is even going on anymore?

KMT standing for Kelly Marie Tran = Rose Tico, of course. Unless Ridley meant the Kuomintang, in which case Papa Xi Jinping will be most displeased.

[Poe-Shen Zcela]

Long video, but it definitely deserves a watch.

Man, what the hell is Disney doing...?

Great question and great video. I gave it a first-pass yesterday, but want to give it a second watch before I give a summary of it here.

Assuming all of these players--JJ, Rian, Kathleen, Iger, the Story Group, etc.--have done all of this shit on purpose, what's the long con? Is there one? Or was it all short-sightedness that's biting them in the ass now?

Are we looking at just one layer of an unfolding 4D chess match played by vindictive sorcerer-vampires, or a single-layer match of chess between petty, incompetent imbeciles?

 

[Antipathy]

This is a glorious shitshow.
I propose a toast, for all the infighting SJW tards that made this possible.

 

[Manwithn0n0men]

Also The Last Jedi was trending on twitter earlier till disney made a phone call

what does that say about Plan 9 that people STILL want to talk about Rian's trash fire more then this movie?

 

[Jaimas]

This is their world, we're just shitposting in it.

And we will harvest a bounty of salt when it comes crashing down.

 

[PseudoScrooge]

I will admit...I'm a little jealous of some of you around here. I wish I could be completely separated from what's been done to SW. I wish I could better enjoy the dumpster fire that is just over the horizon, and be less hurt by the whole thing and more able to enjoy the chaos and depravity as much as I enjoy every Disney FAIL.

I just can't get away from the looming mental image of a six-foot rat raping the corpse of my childhood, crapping everywhere, and maniacally laughing.

You'll always have the good times. Nobody can take those away from you. Not even the Mouse.

I guess since most of these people are assholes who are used to being the popular people doing the popular things and being envied by others, being confronted with people that tell them they are idiots with shit-taste is something new.
Any geek worthy of the name grows up in a constant state of being mocked by those that are popular and into popular things. They learned to live with people trashtalking their interests.
These new faux geeks aren't used to it and blow a fuse.

 

[Muttnik]

Everyone on this goddamn thread, I am once again stressing to not buy a ticket. Sneak the fuck in. The rat does not deserve rewards for sloppy insincere efforts.

 

[Shroom King]

I don't understand the German Burger King leaks when Disney purposely delayed the release of baby Yoda toys until the spring to avoid spoilers of the TV show (and missing out on a very lucrative Christmas opportunity).

Also, fuck the idea that everyone is chipped in the New Republic. Give me back my all-white Galactic Empire where people had enough privacy to hide rebels on entire solar systems for years before the Empire would find out.

Do not feel envy for it. You get to the point many Kiwis get to because we've been hurt a few dozen too many times.
It's a natural psychological adaptation.

For you, this is a fresh wound, one that's still a sore spot. For others, this is simply one of countless examples from across history of how idiots ruin shit that by all accounts should be un-fuck-uppable. It's not unique to movies, it's not unique to ideology. It happens all the time with people who are undertalented or outright untalented being forced to design for something well above their grade. They decide to incorporate their own stupid ideas or politics or how they think the world should work into a work of fiction, often at the request of those above them, and the result is always a travesty.

For some, the first taste of this was Ultima IX. For others, it was Mass Effect III completely shitting the bed ending-wise and then the writer of said ending outright attacking the playerbase for taking an issue with the shitty ending. For still others, it was Silent Hill: Book of Memories, where the head developer of the game decided to incorporate his shitty fan fiction into the game plot and essentially made it responsible for all events in the series. For still others, it was shit like Ghostbusters 2016.

At the core of all of it is a belief that they deserve success based solely upon the weight of the brand, and they should be allowed to do what they want without consequence with the consumerbase not getting any say in the matter, so when the Customer inevitably calls the product out for being shit, they can break out the "you didn't understand it" or "it wasn't meant for you" responses. At the end of the day it's all projection; they whine about entitlement when in reality they were never entitled to the customer's purchase in the first place.

I'm sorry you had to deal with all of this, but take heart: The Mouse cannot take your good memories or the Legends canon with it from you. They already declared it all non-canon, and in so doing, it's forevermore safe from being raped. Even if Disney Wars tries to dip into the well and lift whole characters, plotlines, and settings from the EU, it won't change the good parts of the EU, locked safely away where Disney cannot hurt them because it would be a whole new canon, completely seperate from the good stuff of yore.

....And that's the shit everyone remembers. Not Disney Wars.

 

[ZMOT]

I love how there’s a decent chance Disney is influencing them directly.

>decent chance
it's a pretty open secret by now that a lot of subreddits are run by either shills that get showered in swag or outright people on the payroll, especially since reddit's format allows to easily hide any post that goes against the grain - if the community itself doesn't take care of it beforehand themselves by downvoting it into oblivion.

Maybe I'm weird because I grew up liking shit that gets bashed all the fucking time (Pro Wrestling, Godzilla, 80s cartoons like He-Man, etc.) but I just don't understand this mentality of silencing and/or shaming people that hate the shit that you like.

money. people talking shit about your product will lead to less sales, so there's a vested interest to curb dissent or astroturf enough. now pair that with retarded consumer drones (which have always existed, but with everything retarded the internet gave them a platform too). and where else to live your consumerism than on social networks?

Everyone on this goddamn thread, I am once again stressing to not buy a ticket. Sneak the fuck in. The rat does not deserve rewards for sloppy insincere efforts.

Dude I haven't even seen anything since TFA, and even then I didn't see that in theaters. I wouldn't even pirate this crap. I rather listen to the reviews and rants.

I feel you on that. I haven’t watched the OT in years but I can still quote a lot of it from memory. I wonder sometimes if these people are so disconnected that they just don’t see the gravity of what they’ve done. Soyboy, cuckfaced faggots aside, Star Wars was at least 2 generation’s childhoods. Boyega’s about the same age as me, and that action figure from the hot wings thing makes me think that he grew up with this too and this is his dream role, and this shit hurts in a more then commercial way. Oh the shit we’re gonna have leak out about Lucasfilm and Disney in the next few years.
