Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Reverend]

Obligatory re-post:

TIE Fighter Remastered - Star Wars Anime Short Film

Took the amazing video from Otaking77077 and remastered the sound with crisp SFX from Star wars: Battlefront and Star Wars music from Star Wars: Rogue One AL...

This was, is, and always will be the Star Wars we deserve not the one we are receiving from Disney.

No idea. But that wouldn't surprise me at all. New generations usually rebel and do the opposite of what the old one is doing. That would just mean SJWs are failing and that's good news for me.

I guess if I had to put what's happening in a few words it would be like this:

SJWs aren't trying to convert; they are trying to replace.

SJW are both failing and winning. On one hand, the movement towards a more diverse world is coming. Hell, it's already here...

But, most despise the authoritarian and zealotry of them. Plus, beginning to stretch shit to it's limits with sex/gender stuff. That is in conflict with our physical world/science. At the end of the day, reality will always win out. Especially, if you keep on trying to surpress it....

It's not letting things happen organically....

To be honest, with most progressives it's not about progresive ideals. It's about virtue signaling how wonderful they are...

Great post. I think there is just one thing I would like to add. I think people are misunderstanding the end goal of these people

They aren't trying to convert the old fans, woke culture has been universally rejected by most fans of the franchises they have infiltrated too. But that's not the goal. They know they can't change our minds.

I once heard an influential SJW mention that they are waiting for the old guard to die (yes he used those words) so that the new generation would take over with woke values. There is this idea that the old guard is too corrupt and only the new generation can save the world (with them controlling that new generation thinks that is).

Kylo Ren was very sincere in what they are trying to do. Let the past die; kill if you have too.

There's also one scene from that Disney cartoon Star vs that makes this clear. Long story short racism ensues, Parents are racists;kids aren't.

So, one character says "Our generation is garbage; but the little one might turn out ok."

In other words, the woke mob is playing the long game, that's why they can afford to lose money, they aren't really after you or me; they are after children, kids and idealistic teenagers that feel their tweets are changing the world.

Well then they've already failed, because the kids give nary a solitary fuck.

So mando is obviously going to get the Darksaber in S2, but the real question is this. Will he become Mandalore, or will he give it to Boba so he becomes mandalore like in legends?

 

[Absolutego]

Denying the fandom is more important to them than making money. And if they were willing to tank one of the most profitable franchises ever, why the fuck do you think they'd stop with this?

I believe this is true of the Kennedy wing of Lucasfilm/Disney, I do not believe it's true overall, especially at the top. Iger doesn't share Kennedy's politics to override his soulless corporate greed. Reportedly he got more involved in the Mandalorian and placed greater stake in its success than any previous Star Wars product (I recall reading rumors ITT he was either commissioning his own cuts of individual episodes or was very involved in the editing room before the show premiered), and over the last month every interview with him is more about singing Favreau/Filoni's praises while flipping back to typical corporate waffle-speak when discussing TROS.

Compare and contrast (from both of those links, respectively):

“One, use it to make the product and the stories that you tell more compelling to the audience. I can’t think of a better example of someone who did that than George Lucas, for instance, using technology to tell a better story,” Iger told The Star Wars Show. “And that’s obviously what we saw in 1977, when we got to see the first Star Wars film. The second was, let’s use technology to distribute our content to people in not only more effective ways, but more compelling ways for them, more satisfying ways for them. I think Disney+ speaks great volumes about both of those.”

“We don’t overreact, we respect fans of Star Wars, that’s really important to us, to Lucasfilm, to the franchise,” he said. “But we do the best job we can, we think we had a very hard job in bringing this forward, ‘The Force Awakens,’ satisfying the traditional fans and touching on themes and characters and places they were familiar with, but introducing the new places, new stories, new charactres. And I think over the three that we’ve produced, those three, we’ve done a really good job of threading that needle, walking that fine line. We know we’re never going to please everybody all the time, and we see that with Disney films, with Marvel films. So I don’t mean to suggest that I’m dismissive of it because we respect our fans, but we don’t overreact either.”

My hedged bet is that Favreau and Filoni are probably going to get handed the reigns while JJ goes to make shitty movies for Warner Bros on his new deal for Bad Robot and Kennedy is further Dilbert Principled to some largely ceremonial position where she can't do too much damage and can leave to pursue other projects without a formal exit attracting too many headlines. Does that guarantee Star Wars will stop being shit? No. But I don't think future failures are going to be coming from the same clowns we've already watched flail about trying to milk this property.

Depends on Moff Gideon being THE villian or one out of others...

If he is THE villian, then Din will probably get a lightsaber at some point, to fight him. I mean he is going to be searching for Jedi, so finding a lightsaber is s strong possibility.

If Moff is a transient baddie, then I think Din reclams it and keeps it..

Here's Yellow Yoda's entry from the book. Once again confirming that she's way over 1000 years old and older than fucking Yoda himself just because Disney needs to have better versions of every old character. She is force sensitive and thinks the FO/Resistance war is the only war that stands out of all out of all the conflicts she's seen but not the OT one...

Also this might be her species (although her species is still listed as unknown but this shit seems like a decent fit).

Some little freaks called Shahkirins who are short, yellow, can be very old, need glasses and have flexible and collapsible skeletons. So just ear-less Yodas. Also what's up with the goggles on this one? Is it trying to simulate eyes or what? Doesn't look very handy.

My hedged bet is that Favreau and Filoni are probably going to get handed the reigns

Where does that leave Feige? Does he still have an SW project in the works or not? Also I'd rather Favreau, Feige or Chee be given creative control over Filoni unless they all make sure to keep Filoni's favoritism reigned in.

 

[Cyril Sneer]

 

[ditto]

Turns out all of the world’s conflict can be solved by magical lady powers and believing in yourself. Who needs bullshit like leadership and organization?

Similarly for the villains. Vader was an intimidating but supremely competent leader who wasn't petty. All of the First Order leadership are baffoons prone to temper tantrums.

Vader choking that Admiral for repeatedly screwing up. Kylo force-flung an officer for thinking his helmet looked silly.

IG-11 was based and doesnt deserve this!

Fuck if I know. Everyone lost their shit when he said (as an aside in an interview focused on Marvel) that he had approached Lucasfilm about making something for them, but there's been radio silence, for the most part, ever since. The only confirmable thing I could find that's recent is Kennedy saying everything's still very early in the process in an interview where she also n+1'd down on the farce that her pet folk singer's trilogy is still happening:

The next “Star Wars” film is expected to arrive in 2022, and that’s essentially all that’s known about it. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has an idea for a “Star Wars” movie, but it’s in the early stages, according to Kennedy. Rian Johnson, who wrote and directed “The Last Jedi,” is also developing more “Star Wars” films.

I doubt we're going to get a lot of real information about a potential Feige project until TROS is out of theaters and whatever leadership/organizational changes need to happen within Lucasfilm occur.

In ten or so years are we gonna get hipsters who claim to like the sequels?

People are now insisting the prequels are good movies, so anything's possible when recency bias can blind you.

 

[Poe-Shen Zcela]

I'm more curious about whether or not Dyn Jarren finds the Yeed race, and if so how soon. That's his primary goal now.

Episode 8 was pretty good, I enjoyed it. Nice action, but a couple things bugged me:

• The intro sequence with the scout troopers was predictable of Waititi's style, but it also felt like the Troops 1997 parody fan film. Didn't particularly hate it, but could've done without it. Especially the "hurr durr we're Stormtroopers and can't aim for shit" meme that needs to die
• IG-11 bringing the baby with him into a town filled with Stormtroopers seemed like the last thing he would've done. Obviously he must have come from the ship, so why not take him back there before bailing out the Mando and friends? Better yet, why not bring the ship's weapons to bare on the platoon? This is the second or third time they could've used the ship but didn't
• Unless the Moff wanted the Child dead, why did he send in Incinerator trooper? Did he not see that the IG unit had it?
• I didn't have a huge problem with the Blacksmith taking out 5 Stormtroopers so much as them not opening fire immediately once she got up. Maybe I'm giving them too much credit though because hurr durr Stormtroopers R dum

Overall it was a pretty good first season. EP1 was a slow start but finished strong and tied in nicely throughout the rest of the season. Worst thing I can say about EP2 is I felt Dyn didn't put up as good a fight against the Mudhorn, and I'm still not too keen on babies performing feats of Force mastery, but baby yeed is 50 so whatever for now. EP3 delivered on the Mando action, though I'm still left wondering why they did it, and I otherwise don't have much to say about the plot of EP3. EP4 was filler garbage that only served to introduce Cara Dune. EP5 was pretty forgettable and left a loose thread to be picked up by Season 2. EP6 was a great prison break episode that established the Mando as a Batman-like character. EP7 and EP8 functioned together as a two-parter that brought everyone back together in a satisfying conclusion. By the end of it all, Ludwig Goransson's main theme really grew on me, as did the Mando and the Child.

Is there a good Jedi Knight Dark Forces II Mod for JKO/JKA?

@Fluoxetine Man found these two on ModDB:

Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 Duels mod

A Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 Total Conversion for Jedi Academy. At first it will not be a mod "remake", it will be just the duels (like in Movie Duels 2). It will have extras, "choose side", and everything.

www.moddb.com

Jedi Knight Enhanced mod

This mod is not for Jedi Outcast! Jedi Knight Enhanced is a graphical overhaul for the game Jedi Knight: Dark forces 2 The mod features higher poly models, and higher resolution 16 bit textures. It aims for "Quake 3 era" graphics. (Or if you...

I guess if I had to put what's happening in a few words it would be like this:

SJWs aren't trying to convert; they are trying to replace (with new generations).

I wonder who will end up replacing the SJWs. It won't be their kids since they're not having any.

SJW are both failing and winning. On one hand, the movement towards a more diverse world is coming. Hell, it's already here...

The media & entertainment has always been diverse, but I've never seen them more insistent about it. They ersisting in either forgetfulness or historical revisionism. The simplest explanation I can see is Trump Derangement Syndrome, which probably means this won't end until either Trump leaves office or the Democratic Party implodes for good. If they get somebody back in the oval office again, I can only imagine the kind of vengeance they'd visit on the country that once rejected them.

Pretty sure Feige was put in place by Iger. Mostly to build up positive publicity. We can say, for sure, that he is working with Lucasfilm.

He is either coordinating projects or he is taking over for Kennedy. Either way, it can't be bad...

Furry Filoni is a weird situation. I mean the guy is the creative successor to George. George appointed/groomed him that position...

The problem is that while he does have good ideas/talent. He is also a autistic nerd in a cowboy hat with a wolf fetish...

He does, sometimes, lose self-awareness and becomes self indulgent.

But I'll take my chances with that guy than with any of Kennedy's lackeys. At least he knows what Star Wars is and gives a shit about it..

Okay kiwifarms, I want your genuine thoughts and predictions: will we ever EVER get a rian johnson trilogy? What do you think it would have been about?

 

[Absolutego]

Okay kiwifarms, I want your genuine thoughts and predictions: will we ever EVER get a rian johnson trilogy? What do you think it would have been about?

Only if Kennedy's contract is renewed and it's clear she will remain in the exact same position. And probably some retarded nonsense that serves as a vehicle for Johnson to keep screeching about Gamergate/people making fun of his twitter friends.

(He's mutuals with Anita and Devin Faraci and independently brought up GG when his movie was criticized, don't tell me I'm reaching thinking Johnson probably had the specter of GamerGate in his mind when writing the Holdo scenes in TLJ)

If the rumors of KK being 'promoted' are true then no, Ruin won't get shit. His trilogy would probably be some pretentious horse shit that deconstructs the Force, Jedi, Sith and the Heroes Journey even more while making 'subtle' jabs at Ronald Drumpf and 'toxic masculinity' of mythical heroes. Ruin thinks he's the next Salinger, but in reality he's just a cheap knock-off of Kojima without the campy charm.

 

[Creep3r]

If IX doesn't even come close to TLJ's numbers then its definitely goodbye Rian. If it actually manages to do better than that (even if its only by a little) while attracting a lot of positive press, I can see Rian getting his trilogy and Kennedy actually getting her contract renewed even if shit is an utter wreck in actuality. Because quite frankly this is Clown World now, and I doubt Iger will really give a shit about doing anything to improve things since he'll be leaving soon anyway. Unless of course investors/share holders are furious and push for some serious change.
