Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[draggs]

It's funny how many of the rancid ideas in High Republic rose to a surge once it was time for Claudia Grey to make some contributions.

Don't get me wrong; the project overall is wrought with crap ideas and lobotomized storytelling, thanks to the likes of Soule and Scott, but Grey's narrative contributions are just awful. Her insane cat lady inhibitions are on full display here--from her sassy gay Matthew McConaughey doppleganger, to her cringey fanfic levels of YA sex humor, to her Whedon-esque quipping, to her "LOL SO RANDOM ROCK CHARACTER" (who apparently was a suggestion by her boyfriend, one that she didn't have the foresight to reject), this woman seems to be a bastion of bad ideas and misguided creative impulses. I mean, just listening to her try and pitch the Drengir as the "next big villain of the SW universe" sounds like someone's delirious grandmother stumbling into the writer's room, when she was speaking during the High Republic Reveal Livestream

"Yes, we have the Drengir show up, and they are sentient mobile plants. And if that does not sound scary on first blush, I have to tell you...[we] had Hurricane Zeta move through New Orleans, and it came through and took out our banana trees. They had to be chopped down with machete. They're gone.... [But] they've already grown back more than a foot. They had started growing by the next day. And that's when you realize: 'Oh, wait! This makes the villains very hard to kill!' And if you don't think plants have weapons...I mean, where do you think poisons come from? Thorns?"​

This sounds like the ramblings of a batty old woman who spent an inordinate amount of time in her garden one morning, and thought she'd stumbled across some genius revelation that plants grow quickly and have organic defense mechanisms. And people will actually defend her loony bin ideas, her Gag Rock Character and her childish species conception by saying: "Lighten up! Star Wars is full of wacky and outlandish concepts! This isn't anything new!" ...when this is the kind of garbage they'd happily mock if it had turned up in some EU dreck like The Crystal Star or some forgotten Marvel Comic. Then it would be acceptable to ridicule it, to add it to the "Top 10 Reasons Why The Expanded Universe Needed To Be Decanonized".

It is incredible to me how much leeway, how many free passes these new authors are afforded by the army of consoomer brainlets that make up the current Star Wars fandom. They will bend themselves backwards like pretzels to defend this shit, but then attack stuff like the Yuuzhan Vong and Abeloth--concepts that were actually fleshed out with detailed origins and narrative nuance--as "not being a good fit for Star Wars."

Oh, but the sentient asparagus and the Boulder Co-pilot are just fine, huh? These fucking cretins have no leg to stand on, I swear.

Plants are a threat to the galaxy because they can grow back after one kind of terrible terrible damage... except Star Wars weapons do the kind of damage plants dont recover from. Lasers and explosives. Aka heat. Aka FIRE. Cut many plants down to the ground, they grow back. Burn them to a fucking crisp, they dont. Fire creates great growing conditions for the next generation of plants. The generation that gets burninated? Nope. ggnore. But these fucking plants are supposed to be a threat. To a civilization that overwhelmingly uses laser cannons and laser guns and laser swords and massive splosions for weaponry.

Claudia Grey once spent an interview hyping up the Drengir as something that the Jedi "couldn't kill in the traditional way."

I wonder if someone in the writer's room was willing to tell her that Boba Fett, with his wrist-mounted flame thrower, could take out a legion of these things single-handedly.

"...b-but they're the thing that truly makes the Jedi scared, guise. I promise!"

 

[Adamska]

I take it you missed the final part of the finale where he removes the helmet to say goodbye to the baby?

Kathleen seriously needs to go though. That trilogy was a fucking disaster

Wasn't talking about Pedro the weirdo who'd also be fired if not for standard Hollyweird Doublestandards; I was talking about Doomcuck.

 

[PseudoScrooge]

Guess I was wrong. Its every few days.

It's going to be constant. They have some algorithm of bullshit (or something even worse) that calculates how often they have to interject their stupid shit into the media, of which there are endless numbers of outlets (some of which they own outright) to post and repost about how amazing it is, and endlessly fellate the Mouse for their amazing diversity, bravery, and creativity. Somebody, invent a browser extension that will block it all. Please.

I don't recall him being a sexual identity snowflake before. Was that always there or did Lucasfilm add it afterwards? Feels like this is another way to keep characters from being criticized by giving them a special label.

We can't even have a couple of lines of description, which are supposed to introduce us to this new character, without defining that character through the lens of woke perversions. And my god, they referred to him as "he," won't somebody get in trouble over that?

Nice to know that the Nu-Wars make-believe, escapist, world of "entertainment" is just as fucked up as the real world.

They pretty much just made them immune to fire and lightsabers for no reason and also making them like starfish in that if you cut one it becomes two. Then again lightsabers have been portrayed rather idiotically in this one.

A lot of people are rightfully calling them Disney's discount and uninspired Vong knockoffs with none of their charisma. A bunch of scary extra galactic aliens except they have no weapons, no real means of travel, nothing creative or memorable about them or any real complex character outside of "CONSOOM". Only thing of note is that they can add you to their hivemind like Killiks but that's about it, so they're also a Dark Nest knockoff. And yes they can speak english because alien languages are fucking dying under Disney. They're so devoid of creativity that even their name is just an anagram of red herring.

"The Drengir A fearsome and carnivorous plant based species that will serve as a red herring for the Nameless during the first phase of storytelling. The Drengir will be positioned as a legitimate threat over the first half of Phase I as they kill Mygorgo the Hutt and spark an interplanetary gang war. However, they are a smokescreen for the real enemies of Phase I (their name literally an anagram of Red Herring). We will see them wiped out around the time of the Republic Fair, by the real threat—the Nihil. The Drengir have played into Marchion Ros hands, distracting Starlight Jedi long enough for the Nihil to gather their various cells and tribes into a fleet.

Claudia Gray writes in Master and Apprentice: “Only through sacrifice of many Jedi will the Order cleanse the sin done to the nameless.” It seems from this quote and the above description the Nameless will be the High Republic “Palpatine” and the end of Phase 3 will show the Jedi triumph over the Nameless, but at a cost of who they once were as a Order.

Also as far as the second picture it would seem the Nihil are planning a huge attack after the YA novel Into the Dark which will be the height of Phase I?"

The real villain controlling them is this thing:

Nameless

The Nameless were entities spoken of in tales known to the Jedi Order. After their lessons, clan-mates of the Jedi Initiate Dooku often swapped tales of the Nameless, among other phantasmagoria. However, Dooku himself did not engage in the stories, distancing himself from the "overactive...

starwars.fandom.com

Simply called "The Nameless". These are the real bad guys... That's the best they could come up with for villain names. Vessel, Geode, Nameless, Leox Isgay, the High Republic is just oozing with creativity. Hell the fan theories were more creative than this shit, especially the early whiteboard ideas claiming the real bad guys would be the Sith Gods of old canon. Guess they didn't want to pay anyone royalties again. Would explain the basic names, like out of fear of using something copyrighted unless its as a passing reference like the Sedrians.

Would explain why they prefer mostly using Filoni creations since he's on their payroll. But would they still have to pay George royalties for using wookiees and trandoshans?

 

[The Valeyard]

I remember posting a panel from the comic where the jedi characters in a life threatening situation and one of the padawans calls them a "he" which immediately upsets the blonde lady jedi master who then corrects her on pronouns on the spot as if that fucking matters in a threatening situation in a room full of dead bodies. Also weren't these two originally identified as twins? So they're lovers now?

It wouldn't surprise me if they were, but I think Cavan Scott was referring to them having a shared consciousness.

Bond-twins were a type of twin. With an even closer bond than regular twins, they were siblings that effectively shared a gestalt mind. Kotabi bond-twins Terec and Ceret, members of the Jedi Order during the High Republic Era, frequently finished each others' sentences even when not in the same room.

Leox Gyasi isn't the only snowflake in The High Republic as the twins Terec and Ceret from the Marvel comics are non-binary.

So they're still twins then. Then again, as you say, wouldn't surprise if Claudia Gray or some other author somewhere down the line decides to reveal that they like to share orgasms...

Also found the page where the original pronoun panels were posted lol:

Spoiler

I actually know an "anti-sjw" who still consooms Disney Wars on the regular and tried to headcanon the pronoun things as the duo being two people and not just the jedi being sensitive about muh pronouns, but after showing him the tweet from the author confirming that it was a "non-binary" gender thing, he just goes "w-well I'm sure its just a one time thing..." before going into full denial mode about it, like the Gina Carano thing which he tried to reason it as being a PR thing and not a political one despite Pedro getting a pass for making similar tweets. The number of mental hoops people will jump through to pretend that nothing's wrong just to keep consooming is rather impressive.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Who do you think will be antagonists and allies in The Book of Boba Fett? Not familiar with how he's portrayed in the books or comics. Idek if Fennec has appeared in those.

I imagine that the Bad Batch may play a key role in that show particularly because of the cartoon.

They'll probably just keep re-using the Empire or bring in the First Order like they promised for Mando since as things are looking now, it seems Disney is just trying to memory hole it to the point of even cancelling its tie-ins, and because at the end of the day, the whole point of this streaming project is to force people to love the sequels.

They already confirmed Bad Batch shit will be involved because Boba's new life debt slave Fennec appears there too as a recurring character and that Filoni has made his little clone OCs mercenaries, so they'll likely be involved too. As for whether or not Fennec ever appeared in past media, she has never appeared in anything and is just Filoni's OC to serve as the tie-in connection between Mando stuff and Bad Batch stuff despite Boba having many competent female companions to choose from, but that's to be expected since Filoni operates on a small scale and its probably for the best Filoni doesn't touch anything else from the past. I also expect the Glover-Lando show to use Filoni's dumbed down version of the Black Sun and Maul as the main villains there if that show ever gets off the ground.

 

[The Valeyard]

I want The Book of Boba Fett to show how Dengar becomes Rothgar Deng to further rub it in that Filoni Wars isn't going to retcon the Sequel Trilogy to troll The Fandom Menace.

Remember that post I made in the aftermath of the Carano firing, where I said that the faux anti-SJW consoomer branch of the fandom deserves everything they get from Disney/LFL, and that I have absolutely no sympathy for them since they become part of the problem by setting their standards spectacularly low?

^Shit like this is what I'm talking about. The copium of these people is a mental illness.

 

[Ihavetinyweewee]

I want Boba Fett to be a non-binary pansexual autist.

I've given up on Star Wars now: its for faggots and little girls. I guess I'll move on to something else before that gets shit up too.

Try cultivating that audience to give a shit about Star Wars. I'll give you a hint: they won't...

I know she was created for the show lol. She may be the only thing aside from grogu that filloni did right.

I at least hope she's gonna be featured more than Rose tbh.

Rotta (I hope), Dengar and Hondo.
I wouldn't mind some Bib flashbacks.

This thread.... Spend days bitching about how bad Disney is and how much they suck, then go straight to talking about what you want to see in two Disney productions (Book of Fett and Bad Batch). This is why the rat will always win.

I don't know about anyone else, but I never said that *I* was going to watch it.

I just want those who are still holding out hope to be trolled as much as possible.

It's going to be like that South Park episode of Spielberg and Lucas literally butt fucking Indiana Jones, except replaced with Mickey and Kathleen and Filoni trying to fit three dicks in Fetts asshole at the same time.

Again, there's a reason they only have contempt for the audience; if you keep crawling back like a crack whore after the pimp smashes your teeth down your throat, then of course said pimp knows that they can only have contempt for you.
