Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Love Machine]

Boba Fett only looked cool. As a character he was completely useless and ineffective.

rule of cool trumps all bud, that doesnt matter.

 

[Disc]

Apologies if this has been posted already, as I’m still trying to catch up through all the posts today, but that message that Palpy sent out that’s mentioned in the opening crawl?

It was premiered in Fortnite.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

i want out of the matrix please.

 

[Kacho]

He isn't cool though.

 

[Love Machine]

He isn't cool though.

Almost every disagrees with you. Hence why his toys sell so well.

I've not been following this thread since October, but now I am very curious to see whether the normies buy the hype and help Disney make this film turn a profit despite being critically panned. The financial failure of the theme parks, plus the failure of the film would be very gratifying

 

[Lodoss Warrior]

Man, this immediate fall-out's fun, but we should be thinking long-term, yeah?

The narrative right now is still in Disney's favor. The younger generations recognize the virtues of the prequels, but there's enough established hate for them to make the ST, comparatively speaking, a gift. But how will that change in the next two decades?

The kids today don't really give a shit about Rey, Finn, or Ren. Toys are rotting, comic books don't sell, and cartoons like Resistance bomb. There's just no engagement from the youth. So, when they finally seize the means of establishing the narrative (I.E. the internet, positions in media, etc.)... Oh, how I can't wait to see them demolish these films for the forgettable trash they are!

We'll have documentaries detailing the demise of the ST that would make "The People VS George Lucas" an afterthought. Red Letter Media? Some new, even more autistic group will take their place, and aim all their ire at this unplanned mess.

I look forward to the after-party.

 

[Dom Cruise]

To expound on my thoughts a bit.

I remember everywhere in the 2000s there was bashing of commercialism, capitalism, corporations etc, remember the documentary Supersize Me? Which advocated for basically the dismantling of the entire fast food industry?

And alongside McDonald's, Disney was also held up as a personification for all that is evil about American capitalism, so how the hell did we wind up in a world where left wingers shill for Disney?

it makes a little more sense though when you keep in mind that for liberals it's not really about what they're for, it's what they're against.

And what they're against is everything that is white, male, straight, American and Christian, so in the 2000s they hated whatever they saw as representative of America a whole.

But along the way into the 2010s they discovered another type of white male they could hate, white, male and nerdy and because we as a whole don't like the direction Disney took things in, therefore Disney is A-ok in their book.

I hate the new trilogy too but
Edgar Allen POE
RAY Charles
Neil FINN
and Aldous HUXley

True enough. I still feel it's a bit different because I can refer to Edgar Allen Poe without feeling like an asshole. Meanwhile I can't refer to Poe from star wars without mentally envisioning whichever Teletubby it was. Probably just personal bias.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

One thing I find fucking hilarious about the present day is it makes you miss the days of crass commercialism and empty greed.

People said Lucas only made the Prequel trilogy to sell toys, maybe that's true, but I'll take trying to sell toys over trying to sell weirdo anti-human Cultural Marxism and feminism ala TLJ.

The thing about commercialism is it at least in theory wants you to be happy so you'll keep spending more money, the SJW mentality just wants you to be fucking miserable.

I'll take shallow over pretentious, fun hating nonsense.

In the 80s/90s:

"Do you kids love the Ninja Turtles?"
"YES!"
"Well we're making 2 dozen variant figures of all four Turtles! Be sure to put them on your Christmas list!"

Now:

"Do you kids love the Ninja Turtles?"
"YES!"
"Have you considered how oppressive it is that none of the Turtles are women? And have any of you thought at all about the Turtles sexual preferences and identities?"

And alongside McDonald's, Disney was also held up as a personification for all that is evil about American capitalism, so how the hell did we wind up in a world where left wingers shill for Disney?

They took over which was all that they were interested in the first place.

 

[Coolio55]

People can give Jar Jar all the grief they want but he's certainly a better character than some the fanbase fawns over. Take Boba Fett for example.

Boba Fett
+Cool armor
-Watched his dad die like a bitch
-Does nothing of significance and barely speaks
-Can't even catch Han himself
-Killed effortlessly by Han while he's blinded and flailing around like they're in a Three Stooges short

Jar Jar Binks
-Annoying kid appeal character
+Has actual plot relevance and dialogue
+Helps Palpatine come to power
+Lives a long fulfilling life in a powerful Senate position

There's also a theory that states that Jar Jar was supposed to be a traitor all along but George backed out at the last minute because his cover act caused him to be the most hated character.
At least Jar Jar is enjoyably bad with plot armour inpenitrable in a fun way that could easily turn him into an amazing character if used correctly.

Oh wow, Cats is getting bashed by critics.

It’s now which dud will be better.

I remember reading /leftypol/ profiles on twatter before the great purge. It was interesting how many "enlightened" individuals would openly talk about their anti-depressant prescriptions.

As fucking stupid and terrible Cats looks and is at least for the original play there was an artistic vision at some point.

And so, after all they went through our heroes reunited all under the tree to see it go in flames and with it all their hopes and dreams of ever starring in a good movie, having nothing else and nowhere to go they put their differences aside and started to sing, sing the songs of the happy folks. First Ridley, then Hamill and so on and on... Even the little kid Jay was there! He was as happy as a dog, they all sing as loud as they could , so loud it was said that even GeneralFriendliness heard it and that it was so beautiful that his heart became warn and soft so much that he decided that he would at least watch the reruns on disney channel. It was then in the middle of the cold night when a Christmas miracle happened, none of the present could believe their eyes: it was E;R flying through the sky! Cracking jokes at they expense as always but he wasn't alone, no sir, behind him it was the only one Papa George on his sleigh and he had gifts for everyone!

Daisy got and actual character to act as well that a book that explains how to keep your mouth shut, Adam got an amnesia ray to make everyone and himself forget that this even happened, Boyega got to star in a movie that doesn't use him as a token character, Based Klaud was so based so he didn't really needed a gift, JJ got a DVD about how to make movies as well that Rian; Hamill, Ford and Carrie got photos from the original shooting of A New Hope, a remembrance of better times. But the most important gift was for two people: Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy, the box had their both names "What's inside?" they asked, with a little of nervousness they opened the box and their surprise there was a single sheet of paper with something written on it.

Spoiler: What was on the paper, you may ask?

Star Wars Christmas Special 2. Millions boys it will make millions I tell you

And it was there while they were hearing George's laugh at the distance that everyone there finally understood the meaning of killing Star Wars: is not the failures but how you sweep them under the rug and pretend nothing happened and in the end making people laugh at our monumental fuck ups still counts for entertainment for as long that good ideas exist there will be always a woman and a jew to ruin it for you. And with that said, everyone hold their hands together and started shouting in unison:
MERRY CHRISTMAS GEORGE LUCAS!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS FANS AND HATERS!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS KIWIFARMS!!!
AND HAPPY STAR WARS FUNERAL FOR YOU!!!

The End​

General Grievous vs Jedi (Full scene)

General Grievous fights six Jedi in the original Clone Wars cartoon made by the Cartoon Network and Lucasfilm. I got the complete scene by piecing together o...

People can give Jar Jar all the grief they want but he's certainly a better character than some the fanbase fawns over. Take Boba Fett for example.

Take a moment to think, would you?

+Cool armor, covered with build-in weapons and the scars of past battles, showing him to be a serious badass
+Watched his dad go down fighting against the Jedi Order's best warrior, despite having his head dribbled like a basketball by an alien rhino only moments before
+Significantly catches on to Han's ruse while Darth Vader and his entire battlegroup are completely befuddled
+Barely speaks. When he does, even Lords of the Sith take pause
+Clever and cunning; doesn't expose himself to unnecessary risks but will instead use others as meatshields

There, fixed.

Killed effortlessly by Han while he's blinded and flailing around like they're in a Three Stooges short

Interestingly, extant storyboards from ROTJ show a different sequence of events. In an earlier version of the script, Fett shoots (and possibly kills) Chewie, and gets into a brawl with Luke for a bit before losing his right hand (Luke then actually tries to bisect him while Fett is bent over in pain cradling his hand, but the lightsaber is stopped by Fett's rocketpack, taking damage but preventing the blade from cutting further). Luke is then distracted by some of the skiff guards, Fett readies one of the weapons on his left arm to fire at Luke and Han runs up and very consciously and intentionally attacks Fett with a pike. I'm not sure why the sequence ended up being altered into the much sillier scene featured in the theatrical cut of ROTJ (probably a desire by Lucas to add more dumb, "kid-friendly" humor to the film) but it must have been quite late in production because still photos show Jeremy Bulloch and/or his stunt double wearing the damaged rocketpack during filming at the Dune Sea set:

ROTJ Damaged Jetpack Build

Well I celebrated my 30th birthday a few weeks ago and I got to thinking what I wanted to do with the extra cash I got from some family. I decided that I'd buy a Jetpack kit and transform it into a really nice wall display. I've always been really into the ROTJ damaged jetpack. I don't know why...

Oh I thought this thread was about the movie actually being shit but now I'm seeing that reviewers that fellated The Last Jedi don't like this one and are calling it a surrender to the toxic fandom... now I have hope.

Either that or it's so bad that literally everyone hates it.

 

[millais]

Just some idle speculation, but I think the monosyllabic names of the sequel trilogy characters may be due to the initial attempt to make the characters more palatable for the Chinese audience. If the names were too lengthy or hard to pronounce, it would be less optimal for the Chinese audience.

 

[School of Fish]

So I went to my local movie theater to see this movie and this is what I saw.
