Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Flexo]

I witnessed this bullshit with the ID4 sequel and Pacific Rim Uprising

Oh man PR2... talk about half a good movie and half an awful movie forced together.

Now, what would be the worse thing that could happen if Apple buys Disney?

Apple probably has a different strategy and agenda than Disney’s. We could see them continue the course or just not do anything about it.

Anyway, I think its best not to needlessly start shit with Sam since he isn't as egotistical as the rest and recently he did a Clone Wars stream where he outright says that he doesn't consider Disney shit canon and that it takes place in an alternate timeline (which is actually true) which made the faggots on 4chan's /co/ and Wookieepedo seethe.

Could you point me to that stream? I need to hear this with my own ears, because this is the first time I've heard anyone working for Disney/LFL take that stance.

This is his stream.

I'm not sure if anyone's uploaded a video of his streams, but there's articles being mad, divisive or praising his comments. He also made some comments not just about CW and stuff, but also Plan IX and the other movies where he says he can't reconcile it with George's mythos, which is also true and was also a sentiment shared by Joseph Bongiorno who wrote Supernatural Encounters which has been referenced slightly in Disney shit for odd reasons (since like I said it basically calls the Disneyverse a mistake). And also despite Sam being critical of TLJ hate, he acknowledges it only as a good movie but not SW-ish:

Maul Voice Actor Sam Witwer Dunks On Rian Johnson: "You Can't Reinvent Star Wars Without Knowing Star Wars First" - Bounding Into Comics

Star Wars: The Clone Wars voice actor Sam Witwer, who plays Maul, recently dunked on Rian Johnson and his The Last Jedi film.

boundingintocomics.com

His thoughts on the movies were “You Can’t Reinvent Star Wars Without Knowing Star Wars First” which is probably the most fitting description of how Iger, Kennedy, JJ, Rian and their underlings have managed the franchise.

You have to buy an extra component for sound when streaming Disney+.

Taika Waititi is apparently set to direct a new SW film for theatrical release.

They sure do float/announce a lot of people heading up various Star Wars projects, Johnson's Trilogy, the GOT guys who got fired, Feige Star Wars Movie, Cassian Andor Series, Obi Wan Series, but have produced very few deliverables. What's up with the "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" approach?

You know, they should just quit this shit for a while. The shareholders don’t run the show.

What the hell is this creature?

Ugly. That is called being ugly.

I'd agree on this, especially since Kennedy loves declaring shit that won't happen. But, it still makes Iger look weak, and Disney is run by fucktards. I can see it happening, and the only reason it wouldn't is due to the Rat going broke.

Who the hell knows what really goes on behind the scenes? I wouldn't believe most of what you hear on YouTube.

I just love best boy Splendid Ap. Tried to fix the mistakes of his silbings, did his best and failed, but the thought was there.


What the fuck was these cops' problem?

Nothing but cowards with guns.

Holy fucking shit, Disney is going to lose $21 billion in the parks.

"Gotta make sure kids in space costumes wielding toy guns know their place. We can't have the likes of them running aboot."

What's up with the "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" approach?

I think they're just doing it to give the illusion that nothing's wrong towards investors and shareholders. "Everything's going so great that we have so much in store! Nothing's wrong!" And then they can just silently sweep a project under the rug of production limbo and hope their investors forget about the announcements. RJ's trilogy is pretty much dead in the water, the GOT shit probably just devolved into High Republic, the Kenobi and Andor series are also in production limbo with numerous articles talking about in-fighting and meddling that's causing more setbacks. I honestly don't expect that Calrissian Dandor shit to ever see the light of day. The Kenobi show will have to debut though since its their cancelled Kenobi movie recycled much like how Mandalorian was the cancelled Boba movie recycled.

Also in regards to High Republic, I recall a lot of people initially praising the idea of that shitty multimedia's setting because it explored a period in galactic history that previous SW media never touched upon much, but there was a reason for this, as George established in the prequels the "Great Peace of the Republic" a period of almost 1000 years where no major wars happened, just a few minor scuffles or self-contained planetary wars. So having a big fat war between the Jedi and a re-emerging Sith Empire, their Dark Gods and a rising huge cult of bandits just 200 years before the PT is pretty much going against G-Canon there which is what Disney drones originally claimed Disney wouldn't do, yet have done so time and time again.

they'll probably use the kenobi shit and replace obi-wan with castillian dildo in order to check off both boxes at once

The Cassian Andor series is gonna end up being the Disney Star Wars equivalent of that one Inhumans show no one watched

Are they really doing this? I shouldn't be surprised, but I was expecting them to have Jedi Knights do these neat peacekeeping missions throughout the galaxy.

As a casual fan, I think its noteworthy that Lucasfilm seems more content with basically revisiting the period immediately before the war which sounds boring as hell if you focus on the Jedi instead of the political intrigue and other shit that led to the collapse of the Republic.

I mean, why not just do a series visiting how exactly the Jedi were created in the first place? The Jedi simply didn't pop up one day not in response to some big evil threat, did they? Granted, my knowledge of the origins of the Jedi Order is basically non existent I'll admit, so maybe that's just as boring as the High Republic sounds.

Dark Horse Star Wars Super-Team John Ostrander and Jan Duursema covered the origins of the Jedi and Sith in a comic series just prior to the Disney takeover.

Which is a shame because a "mission impossible" style show set in the star wars universe I would eat up like it was sterno nicoise.

Get ready for purple haired jedis going on missions to explain "privilege" to the rest of the galaxy instead.

Until there's a changing of the guard/Cultural Zeitgeist, or an oddball bigwig like Favreau involved, just assume Disney will fuck up the best of ideas.

It's like people who think David Tennant could save Dr Who if he came back. With the current writers and brass at the BBC, no fucking way. It'd be a train wreck.

Keep Disney as far away from the origins of the Jedi and the Old Republic as possible. Do you want Kathleen Kennedy to write herself in as the creator of the Jedi?

Absolutely fucking not.

Which is why I'm surprised they aren't doing it. They already fucked over the originals and the prequels and the original EU with the sequel trilogy woke bullshit trying to make Star Wars be as un-Lucas as possible, going for the in-universe origins seems like the next logical step to asserting their vision over the original. They already sorta did with that bullshit about some woman being the real leader of the empire instead of Palps.
