Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

GeneralFriendliness said:
So all that stupid forced "hype" surrounding them and all the merchandise tie-ins and these nu-troopers aren't even remotely relevant? Wow. Bravo JJ.

I mean, I knew they were going to be irrelevant, they're just to try and sell toys because y'know, they can't sell shit.

Ewoks somehow took down Star Destroyers that were in space and now this ambiguous evil not-empire government that was only in power for less than year (maybe even just a few months) has been overthrown with no problem as all their ships are now simultaneously breaking down and their soldiers dying for no reason? Don't think about it too much. Just consume product.

See, I could just about understand the Ewoks taking out a stormtrooper force because stormtroopers and AT-STs are the worst possible choice of force to occupy or invade a heavily forested planet and the Ewoks are capable of carrying out a guerilla campaign. I could get behind when Palpy goes down the first time alongside an entire Imperial fleet that this would be such a crippling blow to the Empire, and it's implied that there are Rebels all over as well as merely on Endor. That would be enough of a damaging blow for the Empire to agree to a peace treaty of sorts. However. The First Order reigns SUPREME, we're told, and the Resistance is reduced to just a few ships engaged in a slow speed chase and/or the base on Crait. The Republic disarmed entirely. Are we to assume that hundreds of thousands of ex Rebels dusted off their blaster rifles from the attic and reformed all spontaneous like?

Here's what I'd do if I were the head of the First Final Order after Palpy's been a splode:

Find one of the people who invented the Death Star Destroyer cannon. Get him to build a couple more and mount them on existing Star Destroyers. Exterminatus Endor, Jakku, and Bespin and anywhere else where guerilla warfare is likely to break out. Flood everywhere on the fence with stormtroopers. Given that each Star Destroyer holds a division or two of them, manpower is not likely to be a problem. Then set up an inquisitorial squadron whose job is to find potential Force sensitives and arrange for them to have "accidents." They might even be able to use remote versions of the midichlorian detector that Qui-Gon had.

But no, they all just give up and go home. Ugh.

And what to expect from gigashills. I saw the today show (Australian tv show) say the acting and CGI was good but the story was a inchoherent mess and gave it a fucking 7 or 8 out of 10. Fucking Christ at least the Aussie shills admit is dogshit

What's with this trend of reviewers listing everything negative and saying it's a load of shite and yet they give it a high score anyway? What are they trying? It's almost as if they couldn't give a shit about any reputation they had.

As much as I'd like that. I get the feeling most people would wind up seeing it anyway (albeit through a crappy pirate rip) just to see exactly how terrible it'll be.

If it makes as much as Frozen 2 has so far, or even beats Cats on its opening weekend, then I will be surprised.

Ngl, I'm pretty sure from the reviews and other coverage that it's actually not as good as Frozen 2, and the high point of Frozen 2 is a girl in a sparkly ice jumpsuit riding a horse made out of water.

(Hey, at least Elsa has costume changes, unlike One Outfit Rey.)

I have for obviously child-related seasonal reasons been visiting the Disney Store a lot lately, and they are burying the Star Wars merch under an avalanche of Frozen stuff. And I was last in a couple of days ago, so... the release tranche of merch was out for Rise of Skywalker. Kids in the store looked completely uninterested.

The Avengers merch is still selling well, though. There's always that consolation for Disney.

Probably to avoid being called out as a shill by their own fan base. Becuase their fan base are literally the CONSOOMER meme incarnated if you address the bad you get away with it. I’m term,s of what it’s for,it’s probably to appease their overlords at jewtube. And all movie reviewers never had reputation in the first place.

Yes! Buy this comic now to know the origins of the Knights of Ren! What are their names, you ask? Sorry that's not in the comic, but not to worry! If you want to know their names and where Rey's mysterious gold lightsaber came from, then buy the upcoming three-part Kylo Ren novel trilogy for only 19.99 each! Along with the Rey statuette which includes the limited edition "Rey Diary" chronicles for only 39.99!

(Prices in foreign territories may vary. Rey Diaries may be sold separately in certain retail outlets.)

They're treating supplementary expansion material like fucking mandatory DLC for fuck's sake. Shit is supposed to expand on your films or make them more likeable, not be used to fill in plot holes you forgot about. Its EA's BF2 all over again.

If it hadn't been for Knights of Ren,
Nobody else woulda joined lil' Ben,
What are your names and where have you been?
What's been happenin', Knights of Ren?


I maintain that movies - and sometimes video games - which require you to consume other media between main entries in order to understand them are weaker as a whole because of it.

But it will make more than Cats, right?

Right?

Seriously, Spies in Disguise looks less of a trainwreck than either film at this point
