Jar Jar Binks
+Lives a long fulfilling life in a powerful Senate position
Because of his role in abetting the rise of the Empire, Binks was once again exiled by his people. After the Battle of Endor and the rise of the New Republic, he performed in the streets of Theed as a clown who was popular with children but not so much with their parents. Many Gungan and Naboo adults refused to speak to him or say his name. Binks entertained the children by performing numerous antics including wagging his tongue, juggling glombo shells, spitting fish up in the air and catching them, dancing around, and swallowing and flushing out water through his ears.
you can thank that little shit wendig and his soybuddies at the story group for this.
Speaking of Yoda, I know I’m late to this but what’s the general consensus on how Yoda was treated in The Last Jedi? I don’t really hear many people talk about it but the little I do hear people say he was alright.
>alright
the whole yoda scene was retarded from start to finish
- yoda behaves like the idiot the first time he met luke back on dagobaah to trick him. is he senile? can force ghosts have dementia now?
- pokes luke on the the shoulder because force ghosts can interact on a physical level now.
- being over 800 year old and considered one of the wisest jedi around goes "lawl dawg pageturners they're not"
- proceeds to torch the whole tree to make a point, which opens
another can of worms
-> if force ghosts have that kind of power, why doesn't he just zap kylo while taking a shit or jerking it to
rey snoke?
-> if he wanted to burn the books - which rey already stole as later shown - didn't he know?
did he know and he was just fucking with luke?
You don’t ever want to do reshoots if you can avoid it. They had to know it could be an issue because Ron Howard had to scrap god knows how much shit when he was brought on, and unlike JJ he’s a competent director and Solo was still fucked.
I don't even think solo was bad initially, it just wasn't what disneytards wanted (same as rogue one). the reshots probably did more harm than good - but hey, better get the highest focus group score!
I remember seeing that a few hundred pages back when people were wondering who the fuck Vi was, and I think it illustrates a major problem with the way "woke" writers execute their craft.
I keep seeing posts on other sites about how to world build "properly" that come across as complete nonsense. It's stuff like "How does this society handle disability?" Or "Who controls the wealth in this society?" It comes across as completely irrelevant at best and outright propagandist at worst.
really depends on the context. having a writer or GM get a second opinion usually works out better for everyone involved. let's say you want your protagonist to lose a leg - what would that mean for his character? in cyberpunk he would just get a metal leg, while in low-fantasy he would be basically fucked (unless "it's just magic bro!" it gets healed, completely diminishing the effects of bodily harm). or more ontopic: resurrection is now canon in star wars. so how does that work? can some sith just come along and resurrect sheev? why didn't finn who's apparently force-sensitive now just ress kylo? what's the half-life on a corpse to be resurrected? are sith-necromancers a thing now?
same with wealth and other details. a good "world" needs to make sense, and not everybody knows how a society shapes over time and what that implies. remember, we had a similar discussion in this very thread when some kiwi noted how it bothered him how poe literally sends bombers while having cease-fire talks in the beginning of TLJ.
Boba's only popular cause he looked cool.
same can be said about vader actually. in ANH the first time we meet him he was only black dude among whites. then he chocked a bitch. can't remember much else till he shows up in the end and gets "saved" by han.
you know when I thought kylo ren was somewhat cool? when I played eafront 2 and all he did was spout vader-like phrases and ignored anything else around that character.
sometimes less is simply more.
It feels like the worse Disney has gotten at handling the franchise the more EA SEEMS to be be turning things around (at least in regards to how it handles the Star Wars liscense. Battlefront 2 has gradually worked it’s way up from complete disaster to a game that although not as good as og BF2 is a pretty fun multiplayer shooter on its own right. Jedi Fallen Order wasn’t KOTOR or Jedi Academy tier but it was still a pretty solid title.
this has nothing to do with disney but EA getting desperate. you could see the same effect when dice sweden fucked up bf4's launch and ea had to pump millions into post-launch support to not have the whole IP crater instead of dropping the game then and there like they usually do. was probably cheaper than trying to establish a new franchise that can compete with cod - especially after they tried it with MOH and battlefield spinoffs (latter only bombed because of EA's greed) and failed.
of course in their infinite wisdom EA kept letting dice sweden shit up the games, like battlefront which only sold because of the name only to deliver their magnum opus battlefield 5 to finish what they couldn't with 4.
eafront 2' launch followed a pretty lackluster first game and only showed up in the news when EA tried to bring their ultimate team shit from fifa into their shooter franchises. it's possible that disney gave them a dickpunching for it, but considering how disney handled star wars as a whole that's unlikely.
it's more probable that EA is fucking scared people getting fed up with loot boxes since that's what actually makes the biggest chunk of EA's money and it gets put into law. belgium banned them outright already, and while you might say "who cares about belgium?", having a whole country not buying your scratch tickets still stings.
For the record, how many agree that the problem wasn't inherently the idea of a female protagonist for the sequel trilogy, it was just done poorly?
the problem isn't females, but shit writing. contrary to woketard beliefs the majority of people don't hate women - they just want entertainment, be it male of female.
you could cast rey as a dude and it wouldn't improve the trilogy one bit.
