Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

I think a lot of people mellowed on the prequels because they became embedded in a pretty decent EU.
Also, the overall plot, visuals and score are pretty decent when you get past the creaky (albeit wonderfully memetic) dialogue and wooden acting.

Poor bastard got taken out by a couple of Doritos.
There's a Lesbian Dorito Night joke in there somewhere...
 
Shatner just shat on Plan 9.
the shatner's really hit the fan now... i'm up dawson's creek without a paddle.jpg


Also "muh Russian bots are ruining Star Wars with #Hate" again...
 
Speaking of, since @TheMysteriousAHole is MIA, I'll try and find more stuff from IX's plothole filler book to post and see if it has anymore abominations as bad as bottlecap head.
Hey guys, sorry for the disappearance but you know, the holidays and all. Has anything happened since this Monday? 'Cause I enjoy hanging out here but I'm not sure if I have the energy to go through... fifty or sixty pages to see what I missed. I do know that a high-quality rip of the Visual Dictionary dropped a few days ago and if anyone needs a copy, I can upload it.

Other than that, I do want to point something out that's been happening for a while. A clusterfuck surrounding official licensed props and a lawsuit being perused against the company ANVOS who has the rights to do costumes and props for Star Wars. Essentially ANVOS has been taking money and not delivering on orders. Here's a few links regarding this situation. Unfortunately one of them is over 300 pages long but it originally started off as a happy announcement thread that eventually turned into an 'ANVOS ripped me off' complaint thread.

ANOVOS picks up the high-end Star Wars Costuming License!

ANOVOS Sued in a 5 miliion class action suit

ANOVOS (Class-action, what do they owe u?) Thread

Now the place that those threads come from, TheRPF.com, is a famous forum in the prop collecting/building world. A number of industry individuals hang out there. This includes people that work in Lucasfilms and ILM. There's one anonymous person that is currently claiming to work at Lucasfilms and has investigated this situation to see if LF/Disney would step in. Essentially they were told that it ain't their problem. Now take what this person has stated with a grain of salt but it wouldn't surprise me if it's true.

People are now insisting the prequels are good movies, so anything's possible when recency bias can blind you.
I hate this notion that the prequels were somehow "redeemed" thanks to the sequels being bad. Now, it seems like you have to fucking blindly worship one or the other, you either love the prequels, or you are a mr plinkett rlm cuck who loves the sequels, you can't hate both for separate reasons.

This franchise needs to die.

I never hated the prequels.
 
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?
Boba Fett is dead, and he died like a bitch. I literally do not accept any other canon than this, and I NEVER HAVE.
 
No surprise there. We've known Shatner to be a /tv/ poster for quite some time.

Shatner always seemed like a shitposter to me.

The only good things in Star Wars were the Original Trilogy, the Thrawn Novels and some of the video-games, notably KOTOR 1 & 2. So it was good from 1977 to around 2005. The prequels are shit and the sequels are shit. The Mandalorian has its hands tied by the sequels. Right now, pretty much any hope of salvaging this thing is gone. The OT cast is not going to be on screen together, ever. The characters in the 'sequel' trilogy are so awful nobody gives a fuck (shippers can die, they'll eat dogshit and be pleased).

Basically, Disney is coming to everyone now trying to make it. Basically, its this:


I wanna see George Lucas with an eye patch and mohawk chasing Rian down as Holding Out for a Hero plays full blast.

I think at this point it'd be JJ and Rian. JJ obviously fucking HATES Rian, as he basically retconned all his stuff and shit in his face for basically shitting up that movie.
 
N-n-n-no-no Snap SNAP! NOOOOOO!

Just gotta quote this again to say the nuX-wings really do look like straight fucking ass in attack mode. Seriously who thought that looked good?
And the cockpits look terrible too.

The prequels weren't bad. They just weren't good. (and they ate up time that could have been used to get a reunion before everyone was so fucking old. And in some cases dead.) I hated PM & AtoC with a passion for while after they came out because of how they made Anakin, and by extension Vader, a whiny bitch; I was just disappointed & underwhelmed by Ep 3 and the lackluster way it handled what I viewed as critical moments in the Star Wars saga (Anakin becoming Darth Vader, Vader & Obi-Wan's fight, Yoda's exile, Luke & Leia's birth) less that I thought they were bad, just they could have been done better.

But a few years after the prequels were over, I'd mellowed out on my opinions on them. Phantom Menace was rude shock, AotC just had so many bad moments.... but I could see what they were SUPPOSED to be, and could appreciate how Lucas fucked up the execution now that the initial shock of it was over.

But the sequel designs are straight-up lifted from Ralph McQuarrie's design prototypes of the X-Wing with VERY minor touch-up.

If anything, his original designs of them really look sleeker and more streamlined than the OT's one, which is clunkier (must also account that it's for practical effect's sake at the time, not the CG mish-mash we have nowadays) and you can see the differences from draft production to what they could actually do at the time.

I think everybody who gives a good goddamn about Star Wars hates Rian Johnson, except SW Cuck or anybody that allows his wife to get plowed by Darnell and is happy about it.
 
Speaking of the prequels, I have a question. Everyone is always saying they would've been much better if someone had had the guts to tell George what he was doing wrong...But, could they?

I mean, Are we sure George wouldn't have just fired anyone that questioned him?

Sure, before Lucas became famous, the OT trilogy cast did tell him his dialogue sucked when they thought the Star Wars would be a forgettable sci-fi movie, and later once they became irreplaceable, and his famous friends like Spielberg also didn't have trouble telling him. They were his equals after all.

But during the prequels, who could've told him? Was he even open to criticism or did he fire anyone that questioned him?

Honest question. I don't know.

I prefer the design we got to the concepts. The turbine fan that devides in half just looks really fucking bad now that I see it in glorious, horrific 3-D.

Maybe it would look better if everything had that sort of Flash Gordon atomic-punk sleekness, but everything else is angular, and so is the fore of the ship.
 
Cara Dune is from Alderaan?
Holy fuck.
That right there is more character motivation and backstory than all the dipshits in ST combined.

She keeps making the "I want a baby" eyes at Baby Yoda. I volunteer to put one in her.

Oh wait. It's the internet. Someone already went and had that idea.

Wow. Anyways, I hate the fact that you can search Cara Dune and that is like the 5th pic or so. She is so much better at acting than that episode 4 let her. You folks are right, Fire Bush can't direct.

Outstanding episode. Great season.
Love the set up for Season 2. The characters are better than the st by far. I did love seeing the stormtrooper armor get broken by the beskar steel tools.

I'm wondering if they'll let Baby Yoda start talking or anything. If Yoda was 900 years old and died the aging process at that 50 years per 1 year would make him 18 when he died. I'm sure this has been covered.

I would imagine he ends up aging quickly during his middle years and then slows down again towards the end.

To get all nerd aging occurs differently in all sorts of species. For example your dog ages to what would be human adulthood within a year or two. They then slow down the aging process quite rapidly in comparison. Perhaps the Yoda species ages normally to 1 year old then slows down allowing the brain to develop slower to gain more access to the force and ability to use powers. It may then age at a different rate once the brain has fully developed for the body to catch up. I'm sure there's all sorts of acne scarred debates elsewhere on line but I figured I'd throw my two cents in. You folks have any thoughts on it?

Honest question. I don't know.

I remember reading an interview or one of those conveniently-forgotten-and-swept-under-the-rug-tell-alls by a few designers under Lucasfilm Ltd. at the time in 2005-2006 that the atmosphere was one of an oppressive, but meritocratic assembly-line. If I'm not mistaken, fellow SG-born designer-hit-big Feng Zhou was one of them.

Sorta like the Galactic Empire itself.

Lucas would come up with an idea, and pitch the gist of what he thought. It would then be the collection of artists to come up with various scenes and concepts which Lucas would pick, give thoughts and discard, process-of-elimination style. Everyone agreed that it was very draconian, in that he would spare no expense and barely anyone could get a word in edgewise, this was prevalent in Episode II's design and continued to Episode III, specifically in the design choices of Count Dooku, Ventress and General Grievous.

It was also around this time that the artists actually had enough with new things and the way it was done, and they actually told Lucas he was crazy in the sheer things he wanted to introduce in Ep. III, which is why we got Ep. III to be somewhat manageable to the previous two episodes - they told him straight that it was crunch time, same as he put them through hoops for Ep. I and II, and all the toys needed to go back into box for the OT.

Ian McCaig, the man who designed Darth Maul, nearly had a nervous breakdown designing the Sith Lord. that says a lot despite his reprieve of four years in preproduction.
