Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

Del Rey just dropped the news via Twitter that the Mandalorian original novel and Visual Guide have both been cancelled..."due to the ever-expanding world of the show", whatever the fuck that means.
That don't make no fucking sense. As okay as I was with The Mandalorian, it was very much still reliant on nostalgia and stuff like The Clone Wars. There was very little "expansion" in the sense that we know.

All they need to do is edit her out of the episodes. Would be funny if Disney was so desperate to make this go away that they throw the Mandalorian in its entirety under the bus and focus solely on Book of Boba Fett from here on out and ignore Mando ever existed.
That would be real fucking bad. Memory-holing Mando but not the sequel trilogy.

There's a Chinese CGI movie called L.O.R.D. 2 that got low-key released not long ago, and Fan Bingbing's scenes and likeness was removed from the film because of the tax scandal she was involved in (assuming you trust the Chinese government). That film is now disjointed as fuck when you try to watch it.

If Disney does go to the extreme of editing Cara Dune out of The Mandalorian, I hope they do it the way they edited Winnie the Pooh out of the Chinese version of Kingdom Hearts III.

How frustrating would it be to play this section of the game with this goddamn white blob hovering around?

But serious, KHIII was never released in China. The Chinese website these screenshots came from censored it themselves to save themselves from their Lord and Savior Xi.

And to top it off the name of the villains in this, the "drengir", is just a jumble of "red herring" according to that leak from an SW convention detailing the project's plot details because these things are just there to mislead the audience about the real main villain which is said to be a Palpatine knockoff.
Hmmm, that red herring reminds me of a certain all-powerful, physically-scarred villain killed off unceremoniously and with no agency in a certain sequel trilogy.
 
So during the shareholders meeting, one of the shareholders actually asked Bob Chapek about Gina's firing. He only had this to say:
Disney CEO Chapek Bob Chapek Tuesday said he doesn’t “really see Disney as characterizing itself as left-leaning or right-leaning” – responding to a shareholder who accused Hollywood and the company of a double standard in firing Gina Carano from The Mandalorian because she’s a conservative.
The stockholder, speaking during the Q&A portion of Disney’s annual shareholder meeting, noted that co-stars Pedro Pascal and Gina Carano both controversially referenced Nazi Germany in social media comments but only she was removed. “What about the Disney black list?” he asked.
Chapek didn’t speak to the Carano incident directly but said Disney stands “for values that are universal: respect, decency, integrity and inclusion and we seek to have the content that we make reflective of the rich diversity of the world we live in. And I think that’s a world we should all live in harmony and peace.”

The actress was let go from the popular Lucasfilm and Disney series on Disney+ after she took to social media to, as Lucasfilm described it, post “abhorrent” material that compared the current divided political climate in the U.S. to Nazi Germany. This caused “#FireGinaCarano” to trend and eventually, she was.
Carano last month raised the issue of a double standard in an interview with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, noting that Pascal was not fired for a 2018 tweet comparing undocumented children in cages in the U.S. to Jews in concentration camps.
Asked about Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy, Chapek said he is “absolutely thrilled” with her and the company looks forward “to having Kathy directing the activities of the entire Lucasfilm operation for many years to come.”
The sniveling worm even dodges the question about the "Disney blacklist". Derailing it into "muh diversity and harmony" which had nothing to do with the question. He also confirms that Kennedy isn't going anywhere and that she'll be running this trainwreck for many years to come (Doomcock as usual won't acknowledge this and just keep feeding people Q-anon-tier false hope to keep them complacent and inactive while consooming begrudgingly). This entire corrupt monopoly deserves to crash tbh, but with streaming on the rise and them being able to hide Raya's failure behind hidden digital info, these fuckers can cook the books without limit and their braindead gaggle of shareholders made up of boomers, xers and millennials will continue to buy into whatever bullshit they spew because either "muh murican family company" or "yas queen progress" bullshit.

Hahaha, Doomcuck again proven how fucking full of shit he is.

Nice to see the shareholders forced these weak and pathetic mockeries to at least talk about this shit, even if it's in the form of lies.

Sure you don't, Bob. Sure you don't.

I would love it if Disney Blacklist got leaked out one of these days. It would be interesting to see who's on it.
 
So, not even waifu material either.

Nope, vegan (of course) too so she had to ruin the whole thing for everyone else by ensuring there was a vegan bake, which are notoriously harder as you're not really working with anything binding, moisture providing and/or flavourful, and the technical at that!

Also, her showstopper was appropriately a giant bog. Which was also shit.

That's the fucking tagline, right there. The lead.

I mean I fucking get it. You never say negative stuff about staff in public, but c'mon.

Yep. It's over. If you go into Disney Star Wars, fine whatever. But no more excuses either.

Mando didn't fix anything and me, Mantoid and a few other brave souls on this board fucking called this shit when people were on here oozing. I feel bad for Gina, but God damnit people. The rot was already there and it shouldn't have taken this to get to ya.

I didn't know about that. Everyone in my household loved it, except me. I just kept being bothered by the protagonists design. She doesn't look Chinese.

Hahaha, Doomcuck again proven how fucking full of shit he is.

He's not alone. There's no shame in hope. There is only shame in perpetuating false hope.

Honeslty anyone who still believes in the Fandom Menace after this week. Are not worth saving

I thought this Star Wars TRUST THE PLAN shit couldn't get any more pathetic than when they were insisting the JJ Abrams cut of Rise of Skywalker was actually amazing and the final product was all Iger's fault. I was dead wrong when they started with the Lucasfilm Civil War and Gina Carano becoming the new Captain Marvel (because REAL FANS love anti-woke and that'll totally change the billion dollar company's mind). They're going to keep Kennedy on to spite the toxic fanboys, because thanks to Doomcock's spergery, they'll hang around and keep watching Star Wars because they think the Fandom Menace theories can actually come true.

Was she supposed to be? I thought that Raya and the Last Dragon was intentionally an amalgam of all South East Asian cultures because Disney needs everything to be as bland as possible.

I don't know. So she has clearly Chinese cultural items, but there's also stuff from other places. The problem is, these things don't belong together. It's like putting lederhosen, a Rubakha, and a beret while the main character swings around a bastard sword and eats fish and chips with a cartoon badger. It just bothered me cause I know most of these places have spent the better part of a thousand years trying to kill each other.

I guess they didn't learn anything from their attempt at pandering to China with Rose Tico in The Last Jedi not working.

As Kelly Marie Tran is Vietnamese and also the voice of Raya.

It just disgusts me to see that Disney doesn't even bother to care trying to tell apart different Asian cultures. They just threw them all in a blender so that it can appeal to all Asians. It's not that hard to narrow things down. I mean, at least Avatar the Last Airbender did it, with the Fire Nation being based on Imperial Japan, and the Earth Kingdom being based on Ancient China, and the two of them utterly HATING each other in the Airbender cartoon. (Season 2 was all about how the Fire Nation plotted to take over the Earth Kingdom)

And of course, Asians do Asian stuff better than white leftists can. I mean, you look at Asian mythology movies and TV shows made in Asia, and they get things right more than the Hollywood drek does. They also have an easier time appealing to the average Asian due to them knowing what their people like: strong men, pretty women, family values, among other things.
 
>leave thread for a month or so
>come back
>new hotness SW character is a rock
>actual factual motherfucking rock

I just can't even anymore. Pack it the fuck up, burn it the fuck down, and leave it the fuck to rot until the IP gets sold to some company that wants to nurture proper storytelling instead of throttling it in the goddamned crib.
Jesus H. Monkeynuts, I'm starting to understand why people drink themselves to death; there's nothing about this that anyone with a functioning brain can point at and be proud about. The point of standing on the shoulders of giants is so that you can reach higher than before, not so that you have the ability to make a larger crater when you hurl yourself bodily off the precipice of greatness.

Disney made Black Panther which did this with Africa. The old, large area of diverse cultures treated as a mono-culture. I feel they got a pass because it was aimed at African Americans who from what I gather are disconnected from their heritage. I wish I saved it, but I was planning a trip to Africa around the time one of the trailers came out and I stumbled upon an African forum. They were tearing the trailer apart, for all the mixed cultures and the horrendous fake African pretend accent.

It's something I find so odd about Hollywood that pretends to be woke, they're so ignorant and constantly make ignorant mistakes like this. Yet it just has to seemingly feel right. Such a game of pretence.

They don't mention it in the film, but Wakanda is an ethnostate that sees the rest of Africa as niggers and keeps them out so it's accurate that it would be a monoculture.

African Americans seem to think their heritage is a mix of whatever stereotypical African shit, whatever stereotypical Jamaican shit, and We wuz kangs black washing of Egypt.
