Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Creep3r]

Boba defiantly works as silent gunslinger. The one where people make tall tales over a drink. I really hope that they can do him right in the Book of Fett

(some concept art)

At least he's not fat/layered anymore. Although I still dislike that Filoni had his armor repainted. Scratches and dents like that should be like medals with a little bit of history. I mean in both canons he had the armor for decades yet he chose to only repaint it after meeting the new Mando? I just hope they don't fag up the story of his sarlacc escape and that they include that spicy dancing girl from the original story that nursed him ( ). I would be pleasantly surprised if Book of Boba Fett turned out to be an adaptation of Last One Standing much like some early pitches for the cancelled Boba Fett movie implied, but I doubt it considering they nuked most of Kenobi's scripts for being an adaptation of his fight with Krayt...

Star Wars: The High Republic Changes What We Know About Jedi Sex (Archive)

The newest Star Wars: The High Republic novel -- Claudia Gray's Into the Dark -- sheds new light on the Jedi in regards to sex -- namely that they needn't be completely celibate.

While discussing the Jedi and the Force with Vessel co-pilot Affie Hollow, Reath Silas -- the Padawan of Jora Malli -- explains how the Jedi "give up individual attachments in order to focus entirely on greater concerns." "So... that means no sex," Affie replies. From there, Reath muses whether he should go into his master's explanation about the difference between "celibacy of the body and true purity of the heart" but opts not to. The discussion continues later on in the chapter, this time with Vessel pilot Loex Gyasi being involved, as the characters go back and forth about the difference between love and sex.

Forgoing personal attachments -- including those to other beings -- is a facet of the Jedi Order that was explored heavily in the prequel trilogy with Anakin Skywalker. By being brought into the order at an older age than most, he still harbored a strong attachment to his mother Shmi, which ultimately fueled his rage against the Tusken Raiders when she was killed in Attack of the Clones. Moreover, it was his attachment to Padmé Amidala and his determination to save her from a deadly premonition that led him to the dark side, albeit with some heavy manipulation by Sheev Palpatine.

This isn't the first time Gray has explored the Jedi and sex. In her 2019 novel Master & Apprentice, we're introduced to Rael Averross, another one of former Jedi Master Dooku's proteges who was trained by the eventual Sith Lord before Qui-Gon Jinn. In that book, it's made clear that Rael has sex but doesn't form personal attachments, thus skirting the strict Jedi Code.

Weird how she brings up the exact same point again for another one of her books. And you know she did it so she could have another "blonde guy with a crew cut fucks misguided black girl".

"... they needn't be completely celibate...." So, I guess they didn't read Legends. Shocking.

Being a whore is definitely in tune with the light side

I consoom Star Wars material for the conversations about the difference between love and sex. That's what Star Wars is for

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

EU handled it fine, Jedi can bang, Jedi can marry, Jedi can have kids. Somewhere control your emotions turned into don't have any emotions which is not what being a Jedi was supposed to be about

 

[RumblyTumbly]

Anybody who uses an IP mostly geared at children to explore sexual exploits and fantasies is someone I don't want anywhere near my children.

In a righteous age, these people would be thrown into an insane asylum. Instead, the inmates are running not only the asylum, but most of media and politics at large.

Back in the day, being a whore would probably muddle your connection with the Force.

EU handled it far better in the old days. There's times when the Jedi are open to marriage, there's times when they're not, kind of like in the real world where religious orders in different points of their history would either allow or prohibit marriage for their members.

Plus, there's the massive plot hole as to why Boba Fett never cleaned out his armor when he was a filthy rich bounty hunter, but he managed to get it cleaned when he was dirt-poor and hanging around with a lunatic from a fringe religious cult.

Classic Boba and Vader are lighting in a bottle character designs. Just those two eclipses anything from the nu-sw both ST and HR.

That's why those two sold the most figures.

"The High Republic shows the Jedi, like all the rest of Star Wars lore, getting raped in the ass by Disney in a major way."

In other news, the sky is blue, pigs don't fly, and ice is cold. SW lore getting raped in the ass by NuWars is so common that I'm numb to it now.

I went to sleep and woke up to 3 pages of autism wars over insignificant details
I'll take this dumb shit over listening to Disney fans pat themselves on the back any day of the week

That's nothing. You should've seen the Great Cringe War of Rainbow September.

Its a nostalgic kind of feuding, unlike the "you're racist/sexist/etc if you don't agree with me" feuding of Disney Wars fans at least.

Darth Vader's Turn to the Dark Side Foreshadowed By Star Wars: The High Republic​

Star Wars: The High Republic Teases a Discovery That Saved Darth Vader's Life​

What is it with clickbait articles, redditors and the like pushing High Republic as if its some sort of long lost book filled with decades-old secrets that Disney had been sitting on for years and only recently decided to unveil to the world?

Also they revealed the look of the Supreme Chancellor (Palpy's predecessor) for High Republic.

The design was briefly showcase during HR's first reveal among other concept art, and some assumed she was a villain. I could swear I've seen this design before.

 

[White Devil]

I thought Palpatines predecessor was Valorum. He gets merc'd in the Clone Wars. Shuttle "accident".

And she looks like the evil stepmother from Snow White.

Maybe one of the characters from Bioware's Anthem?

There's a recipe for success.

Y'know, I'm curious who they'll get to design their ships, weapons, armor and so on for Star Wars plus ie the shows on Disney. They're essentially going to be covering three different eras in Galactic history and they can't just copy paste Star Destroyers and Star Crusiers with a goodad glued on like in the Sequels

I wasn't impressed with the Razor Crest.

It feels a little too...bland? All sleek lines and a pair of jet engine nozzles. The canons are placed to the sides, lacking the dynamic turret design of the Millennium Falcon that created such vibrant cinematic scenes in the OT. I was stunned to find it was designed by Doug Chiang who worked on the Prequels. I can see the design overlap with the Republic consular ships. But still, especially as we move into the unknown region, they are going to need. to step up their game.

 

[White Devil]

I agree, the Razorcrest is just meh as hell. I also never liked Slave I aesthetically, even though it's something completely original and different.

Once again, its a case of bland competence seeming like utter genius after 6 years of utter shit.

That struck me. What must feel like, having worked on Shadows of the Empire and the Prequels with George Fuckmutherin Lucas only to have to direct the designs for all the Disney productions? How does Doug do it in his head?

I get paychecks and stuff, but come on. This would be soul crushing for me after having been forced to work on the First Order designs. I'm sure he was told to be as safe and bland as possible.

 

[Mississippi Motorboater]

Regarding the whole "Claudia Grey explaining sex in her novels" thing, I can't necessarily knock her for including sex since there were a lot of sexual implications in later EU series like NJO, Dark Nest, and LOTF. But that was mostly because the entire tone of those novels was mature, with grotesque levels of violence and instances of harrowing familial trauma. The novels weren't for children anymore; it was painfully obvious that they were being written to court a solely adult audience. They were aware that the people who'd grown up reading the Bantam books were presumably adults by the time of NJO or LOTF, so they raised the bar for graphic content to match. Troy Denning making a few sexual innuendos in his story doesn't seem that out of place with the gory violence and brutal fight scenes taking place in the surrounding pages.

The problem is that all of Claudia Grey's novels are couched within the "safe" publishing environment of current-day Star Wars, where a lot of the violence is toned down and the tone list largely kept light and easy for their Disney Drone audience. High Republic has been an extremely vanilla affair, and outside of Charles Soule killing of characters in relatively tame fashion in his Light of the Jedi novel, there's none of the graphic or dark content that characterized the late EU. So when Claudia Grey dumps an explanation about Jedi Sex into her novels, it doesn't blend in like sexual implications in the old EU...it sticks out, hard. We saw this in her Master & Apprentice novel, a book that's largely about political intrigue and character-building for Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, a completely mellow and light affair...and then in saunters a Jedi Master telling Qui-Gon about how having non-committal gangbangs doesn't violate the Jedi Code because there's no attachment involved.

And that's what makes Grey's inclusion of sex even weirder. She doesn't actually use sexual implications for some kind of narrative tool...she just has it there to arbitrarily explain shit. To answer questions I don't think anyone was desperate to have answered, like "Durr, does the Jedi Code allow them to fuck?" It comes off as the same deranged cat-lady syndrome that J.K. Rowling suffers from...and frankly, when you look at a lot of the shit Claudia Grey does in her novels--writing sappy romance, sacrificing lore integrity for drama, creating Tumblr-tier self-inserts like Holdo, fan-casting her characters like making her Gyasi character a Matthew McConaughey-type, and even describing one of her characters like a "male Hermione Granger"--it's clear that she's the exact kind of YA-writing Wine Aunt that carries her Rowling-esque narrative impulses from book to book like a plague.

I have my issues with the likes of Karen Traviss, and to a far lesser extent Christie Golden, but they make up for their strange authorial impulses by being relatively good authors. Claudia Grey, on the other hand, is nothing but misguided creative impulses.

Is Mando the kind of assassin that'd drive a practical SUV or an Aston Martin? The somewhat generic look of the ship is on purpose. It wouldn't work if he had some super flash space ship. Why yes, I'm sure they could maybe design something more unique that fits that role, but they still have to fit into the design language of Star Wars. So a super cool ship, even if fitting the brief, would still be a super cool ship and therefor flashy.

Oh boy...

Rian Johnson collaborating with the OBAMA’s to develop a new sci-fi project

>Barack and Michelle Obama are getting into business with the “Sound of Metal” and “The Night Of” star Riz Ahmed.

>The Obamas’ production company, Higher Ground Productions, is adapting Mohsin Hamid’s critically adored 2017 novel “Exit West” into a movie, which will star Mr. Ahmed, Netflix announced on Friday.

>The movie is one of several projects that Netflix said the Obamas were developing for the streaming service. The Obamas signed a multiyear deal with Netflix in 2018 to produce television series, movies and documentaries.

>In addition to “Exit West,” the Obamas are also working on a science fiction movie titled “Satellite” with Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman’s production company.

I guess this means Rian ain't getting his shitty little trilogy. The shitty Rogue Squadron and Taika W. films really are Disney's pathetic attempt at a new trilogy then.

Taika's doing multiple films now?

So far Disney officially mentions only one for him for now, but the rumor mill claims it might turn into a trilogy if all goes well.
