Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Takayuki Yagami]

Not really, because most likely there will be quality Star Wars material in between.

Nothing is getting rebooted. DIsney will just toe dip in various mediums with Star Wars until a set of characters click...

I guarantee Mandalorian is getting a movie at some point. As long as they don't shit the bed in seasom 2.

No, because the prequel movies at least had some good ideas even if Lucas desperately needed a handler and they weren’t produced from the seat of his pants the way these were.

Memoryyyyy
All alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live againnnnnn

I'm not sure if Plan 9 will get a lower RT critic score as Godzilla: KOTM but I hope it's audience score is lower

 

[Disc]

While catching up (the Rebellion is in full force tonight) I saw that stuff about Didney meddling, when it comes to discussing the blame game. I thought I'd share what I've heard as the most likely interpretation.

Disney tends to go with a hands-off approach when it can. It's a 'don't fix what isn't broken' mentality, and it works fine when they acquire a living production company like Marvel.

Star Wars didn't quite start with this plan, because there was no production line at the time of writing. Word says that for Episode Seven, they set up a plan for the movies, with an emphasis on safe money-makers to pay back their losses. This is probably why they didn't take George's 'what is the force really?' plotlines. J.J. did this well, so Bob and Disney stepped back and let them do the rest.

Enter Rian Johnson. Kathleen Kennedy apparently let him deviate HARD from the script, because they agreed a lot on political stuff. The Last Jedi split the fanbase, and Solo flopped, causing Bob to rush forward and yank the reins out of their hands. It's around that time the rhetoric changed, and Bob became very explicit about having the final say in the Didney Trilogy.

Unrelated, but I imagine Colin Trevorrow jumped ship as soon as he could when he saw what RJ was doing. He made it very clear that Palps wasn't in his Episode 9 script.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

I wasn't too happy that Godzilla: King of the Monsters got bashed by the critics, as I legitimately enjoyed that movie.

If it ends up getting a higher score than ROS, that will almost make 2019 worth it.

 

[Cuatro Vaginas]

If Sonic, a way past his prime videogame mascot gets better reception than Rise of Skywalker and I was Iger I would cut off my balls. Him retiring like this is fucking embarrasing.

 

[Buster O'Keefe]

Mando Spoiler:

Same difference. It's pretty consistent across all of Lucas's movies that "use the Force" is not a one-size-fits-all or invariably 100% effective tactic for dealing with material objects in three-dimensional space.

The Force is Female a massive faggot

Is there any fun spoilers that I can use to destroy people's lives with?

 

[Ginger Piglet]

That's sad. In the early noughties it was hugely celebrated in feminist circles for being a) unashamedly female driven and b) a show that wasn't at all afraid to put out there "yes the big one and the little one are probably a couple, and what the fuck of it?"

Which sounds like nothing in 2019, but jesus it was a big deal in the late Nineties. I mean, 2019 Twitter has forgotten or never knew what a Big Fucking Deal it was when Ellen came out.

Time was also when UST was a good thing. X Files wouldn't have lasted beyond its sell by date the way it did had it not handled that so well. Xena likewise. I get the very sad feeling that UST is something that writers nowadays either can't or won't do. They either have to bang within 30 minutes or they're forever friendzoned.

Please be reminded that there was a giant spergout on twatter when Sherlock ended without Holmes and Watson getting it together because it was "queerbaiting."

 

[Shmuckleburg]

So once this is all over, can Trekkies and Star Wars geeks bond over how the mutual degradation of their franchises? Especially with how JJ bad-touched them both?

 

[fishercat]

I'm still trying to come to terms with the fact that some woman fucked Palpatine.

It's also funny, but I know a lady who absolutely hated that they turned Xena and Gabriel into lesbians. Not only did she see it as pandering to the fans over sensibility, but also that it was a stereotype where a woman can't be strong without also being a lesbian.

Hercules was also banging that sidekick guy who looked about 50

That's actually the most believable thing about all this.

Dude when you've got power and money, there are women that will willingly fuck you to get a taste of it themselves.

implying he didn't already give them to satan

if rich evans palpatine can get laid, then so can you

 

[Creep3r]

Still not sure what to make of that movie, beyond my nagging suspicion that it was culled from a wet fever-dream of Tim Burton's somehow.

Surprisingly enough, it was an almost faithful adaptation of most of L. Frank Baum's works. The original Oz books could be even more messed up at times, like the Tin Man originally being a munchkin who chopped his own body parts off because of a curse, resulting in everything being replaced with tin. Return to Oz was only slightly more tame by comparison.

Sheev is Rey's grandfather, Kylo becomes good and dies. Rey has all previous Jedi give her power to defeat Palpatine. Ray becomes Rey Skywalker

Hi Newfag here.

If sanity prevails, they will delay this shitshow and bring out the Lucas cut. Good god did this turn out worse then I expected.
