STILL?! After all this time? Despite getting backlash from both nu-fans and shill sites for supposedly devaluing TLJ and reducing Kelly Mary Tran to nothing? No wonder I hardly see Rotten Tomatoes be brought up as proof anymore by drones.
Its likely varying degrees of all of that, but I also think it may be due to the fact that entertainment in general is failing to achieve its primary purpose: failing at being entertaining and offering no escapism from the hardships of real life. Instead content creators want to force as much irl drama, politics and wokeness as possible with all the subtlety of an oncoming train, effectively giving you no reason to engage in media when all you're getting into is the same misery you can find anywhere else. Only people who can find garbage like Disney Wars, Star Drek or Dr. Tumblr entertaining are spoiled brats who live up high on ivory towers who consider misery, revolutions, political drama and anarchy the ultimate escapism from their rich yet boring lives. Hence why most common joes these days who aren't just eating up whatever Netflix pumps out are just watching old stuff while kids play Minecraft all day while watching old stuff to build in Minecraft. Hell most people admit they only subscribe to Netflix and Disney+ for nostalgia if nothing else.
1) I posted about it before. First trailer got millions of views but all following trailer releases can't break past 200k or 400k, which is an overall decline shared by pretty much all SW content on youtube. Discussion for it is pretty much dead even on reddit and twitter. The game's interface is also subject to a lot of potential issues but the lamest revelation was that the game is actually a tie-in for the Alphabet Squadron series of novels starring that polyamorous queer protagonist with a rebellious attitude. I expect the game to do alright, but not great, not even Fallen Order good.
2) Yes. More so than ever. To try and salvage it, Disney has been trying to force it down everyone's throats via terrible video games, which include a VR game and a Sims update which everyone hated and is now the most hated SW-related thing since the Resistance trailer. Disney also released animated shorts to promote the park but the videos got almost no views or even discussions anywhere outside of reddit. @Adamska gave a very good analysis of just how poorly the videos are doing.
Oh he did, but Filoni somehow made it worse, listing it as only 1.2 million soldiers but then expanded it to 5 million as the series progressed. Adding to a whopping 5 million soldiers... A number which Disney still uses as the maximum capacity. In contrast to Dark Horse comics and other media which greatly expanded the numbers to a believable scale thanks to combining Kamino tech with Khommite tech to increase the production rate of clones while also incorporating local system militaries into the army. However Filoni Wars naturally ignored all of this and just sticks with the measly 5 million mark. It didn't help with how pathetically small the scale of battles were in this series compared to Genndy Wars or Dark Horse which looked and felt like actual wars. Hell in Filoni Wars the battles could hardly be considered anything close to large scale.
Speaking of the Baby Yoda part of the news, I found proof of the set crew using Baby Yoda as their new mascot.
If this turned out to be true, then I have my doubts that they will give Baby Yoda away now. Just milk him for all he's got. I'm sure this won't backfire as badly as Slimer and the Real Ghostbusters.
Well time now for the Cosmic Shitpost.
For those who don't remember where I left off last time, here is a link to the previous post in the shitpost entry:
In that same posts are links to past entries (all links have been fixed) for those who just got here and have no idea what this is about which began in March around page 1444:
And for those who just got here, this is a fucking shitposting summary and compilation of SW lore from everything to George's original notes to Dark Horse to KOTOR combined with the info from the unreleased Supernatural Encounters supplement novella. The link to the first post in this series is in the links above.
Now to continue where we left off...
The forsaken corrupt children of the cosmos... the ignorant corruption of time, the selfish corruption of change, the reclusive corruption of spirit, and the arrogant corruption of matter... Splendid Ap, Cold Danda Sine, Horliss-Horliss and Tilotny. They are now the stars of this tale to which key events will now orbit.
After the lone departure of Horliss-Horliss and forsaking all ties to their progenitors, Ap, Sine and Tilotny now remain alone, but determined to make the ambitious Tilotny's wishes become reality, with those ambitions being the foundation of a new world to rule as their own, bring about the destruction of the creators that made them and finally achieve true apotheosis so as to rule unchallenged. That was their sole motivation for existing now. And now we shall see whether these naive star children can truly achieve these malicious goals they have set out to do.
As Lluxos offer of peace and compassion was rejected, Cold Danda Sine wondered if they had made the right choice, but in the end, it did not matter to him, for he trusted no one, only himself and all he desired was to dissect this thing called reality and unravel every bit of it. Splendid Ap though remained... confused. Once again these things called "thoughts" plagued him. Having been constructed with pre-programmed knowledge but no upbringing to understand this knowledge left our spiral protagonist perturbed.
Lluxos' words and Tilotny's ambitions left the youngest and most ignorant of the trio in severe doubt as these "thoughts" formed and how both entities would impact him, but he remained with Tilotny, knowing that if he went with Lluxos, then their father Wutzek would no doubt wish to destroy them once more even if Lluxos' kind words were true, but Tilotny's ambitions would also likely result in their destruction... But if he defied Tilotny could she destroy him as their father would? If both are antitheses to his existence then what option could there possibly be left? Destruction for destruction's sake in accordance with the knowledge he inherited is this concept known as "Evil" which is apparently a "negative", but the knowledge he inherited came from his father who is of a negative nature due to his desire for destruction, but Lluxos is a positive and he shares this knowledge... but what if he's actually a negative? But what if not? Lluxos offered peace which is a positive and his father created them yet failed at destroying them, so they could not be the negatives. And since going with Tilotny, only destruction has occurred... SO IF THEY'RE THE POSITIVES THEN TILOTNY IS THE N-

Tilotny had enough of the doubts that plagued her siblings, once again reminding them of the glory that awaited them but while also reminding them that only through her could their goals be achieved, as maintaining dominance over the two was essential to her plans.
Eons passed, but what may have only seemed like a few moments to our trio, they remained in their hideaway planning and silently observing the Celestials as they gave rise to new galaxies, birthed new life, helped to guide newborn civilizations and so much more. All the while Tilotny's anger and jealousy grew, she detested watching how the Celestials bonded with one another and how their offspring loved and respected them. She craved this feeling, the desire to lord over others and be adored, but she refused to prostrate herself before the Celestials or be forced to have no direct control over the tiny lifeforms. She wanted to control them all and for all to bow to her. She wanted to stand above all. No... she commanded it. And more and more did the darkness within her grow. Becoming more and more corrupt, destroying any innocently cruel child-like ignorance that remained within her as she became a true incarnation of greed, anger, hate and suffering. It was then that she began to adopt the title of "Onrai", a long forgotten word from the days of the Old Ones which meant "honorable" in their twisted tongues, but "without light" in the tongue of the Celestials. A fitting name for one who was slowly becoming a creature of darkness.
During this time of observation, the trio came to understand a piece of knowledge within them that had long perplexed them thanks to watching the tiny lifeforms, this knowledge was that a decree was forged for both the Celestials and their creations. An ancient pact that has existed since first decreed by The Maker... So long as mortal life did not war with one another and desired the care of the Celestials, the Celestials could remain to guide them and protect them, but if they should war with one another or no longer desire the presence of their creators then the Celestials would have to depart to allow their creations to flourish and care for themselves as this sacred law of the Four Precepts demanded that the Celestials never control the free will of their creations for they are only guides, not masters.
It was then that Tilotny knew how to be rid of the Celestials forever more and rule over creation unchallenged, for what good is being a deity if she could not destroy the will of those who stood beneath her and above her? "Oh yes", she thought. She "would make for a far better Maker than the so-called Maker" she believed. Soon she would plant the seeds of "rebellion" and "war" into the hearts of all life forms.
After the lone departure of Horliss-Horliss and forsaking all ties to their progenitors, Ap, Sine and Tilotny now remain alone, but determined to make the ambitious Tilotny's wishes become reality, with those ambitions being the foundation of a new world to rule as their own, bring about the destruction of the creators that made them and finally achieve true apotheosis so as to rule unchallenged.

These cold words of propaganda echoed across space to many worlds and inspired great fear in all who heard this creature's voice, but more so than fear there was even more confusion. Many could not comprehend what "Onrai" had said, and the those that could such as the Firstborn were left bewildered by what she had implied... Power? Overlords? Worldly desires? That the Celestials had lied to them? Nonsense. This could not be so. They had no need for great power and materialistic "paltry gifts", such things were completely foreign to them and they certainly had no reason to doubt the Celestials who had given them so much. Surely this "Onrai" is a deceiver who seeks to stir disorder... And yet... not all thought this way at that moment as they gazed up at the beautiful emerald titan that covered their skies. Some mesmerized truly began to question "but what if she's right? What if all we know is falsehoods? Why do we live in peace yet feel as if we are limited?" Even if only a small few thought this way, this was all Tilotny needed... Her words fell on many deaf ears, but if even a few took her words as fact, she knew she succeeded for now she had planted the seeds of suspicion and doubt into the hearts of these tiny movers. The seeds which would lead to the fall of those that stood in her way.
The voice of the Celestials rang across all worlds, disrupting Tilotny's message, cautioning all life to not give into her hollow fear and lies. These words freed many of the fear that plagued them and they knew that this "Mother" would do them no harm.
(I've alluded to this before in the Kwoth's entry back in a previous shitpost.)
The Kwoth happily accepted this newfound knowledge, hoping to use it to better aid their fellow Firstborn, all the while completely unaware of what cruel plans Tilotny had in store for their gates into the unknown. At this time, the Gree watched as the Kwoth mimicked and corrupted their technology, seemingly for the greater good, but the Gree only saw this as an insult. And thus, the first step in what would be the coming of many conflicts began as the Gree cut all ties with the Kwoth and the element known as hostility began to form.
All is proceeding as she has foreseen...
Tilotny? Transmission over? Can Ap close portals yet? Sis...?
