Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

Shaka Brah said:
JJ is a known hack, and he only has success because he's the son of two famous Jewish TV producers, one of whom was a Disney lifer. Remember Lost? Remember how fucking stupid Lost was? JJ WROTE LOST! That was his breakout writing credit! He fucked over tens of millions of people with "They were dead the whole time guys!" and people in Hollywood thought that was brilliant.

Gonna have to disagree somewhat. JJ isn't perfect, and yeah the ST films were definitely bland, but he's still a competent filmmaker. I've enjoyed the vast majority of his TV and film work. I think that his problem, at least where Star Wars is concerned, is that he was given the impossible task of continuing a story that already had a definitive end, did the best he could, and then watched in horror as Rian Johnson systematically destroyed his story, forcing him to create one on the fly for the third film. Also let's not forget he had the Rat and the Kat breathing down his neck the whole time to target certain demographics. I'm not saying he's without blame, but at the same time, it's hard to imagine anyone contuing the OT. Disney quite simply was greedy and greenlit a sequel trilogy without a definitive story outline beforehand, and Abrams had no choice but to rush a script out in order to meet Disney's release date deadline.

They're just early tribal Sith then, yeah. They don't hold a candle to the old non-Jedi/Sith factions in Legends.

So they're essentially more shittier donut steals who amount to nothing.

I would like to agree but as @Ihavetinyweewee has pointed out, there was a decent story before JJ, one composed by Arndst with inspiration and a rough concept by Lucas. JJ just chose to throw it all out with help from Kasdan just to glorify his own OCs and remake the OT which was the most shamelessly unoriginal thing he could do. Even the set up for VIII was just redoing ESB but with Luke as Yoda and Rey as Luke. And that's without me even repeating what I've already said in this thread before several times. JJ also just isn't good with fictional worlds, and is definitely not good at conclusions within such settings, and his style of storytelling only works well in stories whose settings are grounded in reality. He'd be better off doing crime mysteries, light horror or animated Dreamworks movies. Or simply not have him write or edit anything and just stick him with directing.

But alas, nowadays the wokerati would decide that having UST between Xena and Gabrielle is "queerbaiting" and that unless they're lezzing out on camera twice an episode it's PROBLEMATIC.

But Xena and Gabrielle were hot as fuck back then. The Lena Dunhams of the world would REEE that there are no plus-sized strong women having pansexual romances these days, all because incel nazis are ruining Hollywood.

Welp, there's £11.50 of mine that's staying safe in my pocket and not in the House of Mouse's bank account.

The reviews I've seen here in bongland seem to wobble between outright fellatio (that twat from the Grauniad) and shrieking about how Star Wars is RUINED FOREVER. Though the RUINED FOREVER reviews aren't for any of the reasons we've touched on in this thread. It's because Disney bent the knee to the manbabies and racist misogynists by rowing back on Rian Johnson's courageous vision.

Either that, or they'd decide that since Xena had taken up a traditionally male coded occupation (murderhobo / adventurer / sword for hire) she must be trans, and do a ten-episode run about her quest to get a vadge extrusion.

The only downright terrible part was within literally 5 mins Palpatine goes "i made snoke", it shows 3 of him in a tube, that's it. He already has the head cleft. That's it. Moves on. Suddenly Palpatine is hooked on a GLADoS machine in a corner waiting to go "boo".

After that and ignoring why palpatine is back, it's okay. They never play with the thought that Palpatine cloned himself, just simply barely survived.

I'm sure it is okay, and probably miles ahead of TLJ. Unfortunately, it's a story that shouldn't exist to begin with.

Yeah, like with the Joker reviews, I've read several reviews that seemingly exist just so the critic can get on a soapbox about meanie toxic fans. I'd like to say that at least the movie is being thrashed so Disney can't remotely consider it a success, but they might panic and get Rian back because of their bitching.

The milquetoast fencesitter? Nah. Either way, each of his videos is based on a couple of articles with his commentary added on top of it, so I doubt he's completely wrong about everything.
