Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

I'm wondering if
Ashoka will only be in one episode. I heard they are going to show how Gideon got the Darksaber. So maybe Gideon and Her fight when they show that.

Yeah I always imagined that it would be just one episode that would be used as a backdoor pilot to see if the audience like it.
I'd rather have more Bo-Katan in The Mandalorian than Ahsoka.

I wouldn't be surprised tbh. The only time he was in the suit was in the season finale. He did the voice over for the entire season while 2 other people were wearing the suit.

cant see him quitting or beeing fired, this is by far his biggest role and the only role in a well liked show. he would have to start from zero if he blew it.

I mean.. GoT, Narcos, and apparently The Princes Bride that's coming soon. I can definitely see an actor who believes he's on the come up quitting due to not enough screen time.

Trailer looks good. Hopefully it lives up.

Its the one thing Star Wars has left, so here's hoping it stays good.

I am 110% on the "helmet stays on" train. Play it by Dredd rules. But I also don't watch it and won't, so whatever.

I'm about 50/50 on it.

I wouldn't surprised if this was a defensive measure on his part, where he probably was worried about getting replaced. I mean, nothing wrong with wanting to get your face out there. There is (or can be) pay scale differences for being on the set and doing voice over work; he may have wanted a pay bump.

If I had to venture a guess, if its true he's gone, he may have gotten a better offer from another show. If he was going to turn them down, he wanted to know he had a certain future on the Mandalorian

Not to completely derail the thread, but am I the only one that feels like Star Wars and Star Trek (Star Trek is really overrated to me) are a bit overhyped even before the Disney movement took them over? I have lots of respect for those movies and what they did and their influence on a cult community that followed, but I feel like these movies overshadow a lot of other influential films that maybe did the same things long before George Lucas took the helm but nobody's heard of them like Forbidden Planet. Not an attack on anyone who likes these films to death I totally get why people really enjoy it.

I think it's hard to call Star Wars(A New Hope) a cult film when it's the first blockbuster in history(I'm aware of Jaws, I'll fight you on this anyway). Star Trek has always been a cult community relatively speaking but Star Wars was an ultra mega hit from the get go. It literally changed Hollywood and how movies were made. For better or for worse.

Besides the technology aspects and special effects Lucas and his crew invented to make the movie, it's really difficult in a post Star Wars world to understand the impact it had. The opening alone had never been seen before. I'm talking specifically about the Tantive IV being chased by a Star Destoryer. How loud, and fast, and relatively action packed that opening is, for a sci-fi movie, in space no less had never been seen before. Any other movies that are overshadowed by Star Wars kind of deserve to be as harsh as that sounds. Most were B movies which means they're not as polished or as tight and the acting and story isnt as well done. Lucas definitely built upon what came before him but he definitely improved on it in a way that doesnt make it close.

Due to its cultural prominence it's really easy to take everything Star Wars did for granted. It's growing up afterr Bonnie and Clyde has been around. You assume blood splotches in movies were always there not realizing it was a revolutionary choice when they first appeared. Or like living in a post Pulp Fiction world. Of course its mainstream to have pop culture references throughout your movie with witty dialogue and movies can definitely be completely out of order. It's hard to realize a significant change after it's become the norm.

The trailer was fine, apparently every Tie Fighter can fold now, I thought it was something extra for the Moff. Also extra nostalgia boners for the classic X-Wings, even though I know its pure nostalgia bait I cant help it.

I wonder if all these companies actually think people are going to subscribe to like 12 different streaming services.

All of them think that you'll subscribe to theirs. Because obviously they have the best content.

Baby Yoda merch isn't moving as fast as it used to. I just went through Target and the Disney store near my house, and there's whole rows of Baby Yodas that haven't been picked up yet.

Jedi faggotry will most likely involve Filoni's orange waifu because she's a fan-favorite. TCW made sure of it.

Hence why it will be fucking garbage.

A trend from a year ago and Jedi Waifu, nothing new, nothing interesting. The exact polar opposite of what Star Wars should be doing right now.

They played it safe after the lukewarm at best reception for TLJ and the bomb of Solo and after the disaster that was TROS they'll play it extra safe.

Oh yeah it is Disney.

Star Wars has never jerked off to small corner of it's universe and ignored all the interesting shit that could be done before Disney. How many times is there a Hoth Stage again?
Click to expand...

There were plenty of interesting shit they did back in the day, like the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games, the KOTOR games, the Thrawn trilogy, Dark Empire/Crimson Empire, New Jedi Order, the Force Unleashed, among other things. Heck, Battlefront II classic was about the average day in the life of some Stormtrooper, and it still wound up being more compelling than all three Sequels:


So while there's a shit ton of Hoth levels, there's also a shit ton of other content that did its own thing.

You're wrong but not wrong.

I think one of the issues, especially as a modern watcher, is just embedded into other pop-culture the movies are. There is no shock, not even the tiniest bit of surprise or suspense when watching. There is something nearly timeless with Star Wars, but I can understand anyone who grew up in the age of CGI not getting it.

Star Trek also did a lot of firsts, but as hokey as some the episodes are, try holding their addressing of themes against any thing at the time. And I will fucking murder you with a baby yoda "The Child"/Porg dual-weild build if you fucking say Dr. Who), or really all the way to Next Gen.

I think it comes down to not being born during that time. The shock and awe that the films should've had on me is not there because I've never been immersed in the blockbuster hype the film had at the time. And that's not say I didn't enjoy the films as they are, as I said mad respect for what those films did at the time, I get a little fatigued seeing star wars references done to death in comedy or seeing some guy become a blubbering mess watching a trailer.

I will say this though, the video games had a bigger impact on me then the movies. KOTOR and those lego star wars games were the bomb.
