Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Mississippi Motorboater]

Why am I not surprised that Kieron Gillen and Si Fucking Spurrier are the people chiefly responsible for Aphra's autistic characterization and plotting. Their work on other Marvel comics, notably X-Men, was the same kind of unreadable shit:

I wouldn't mind a Bluray remaster tbh.

Don't count on it. Disney doesn't give a fuck about physical media in the current age of streaming content. Their Blandalorian series has been out for the better part of two years, has been the critical darling for hordes of people within the Funko Pop brigade, and yet there isn't a Blu-Ray release for that anywhere in sight.

The idea that they'd do the same for a non-canon work like Genndy Wars is laughable.

WHY?! Why do they keep bringing this insufferable cunt back even though her book keeps getting cancelled?!!!

It's Marvel. They're very much devoted to the policy of: "Oh, what, people don't like this insufferable character? Well, nothing five more relaunches won't fix. We'll MAKE them appreciate her, you'll see!"

Hence why Captain Marvel is known as Captain Relaunch among comic readers, because she has had more cancellations and New #1 Relaunches than anyone else.

Kyle was essentially a player gary stu, right down to him once being apart of The Dark Side but now he's a good guy because you know it's that easy to get away from being a total sociopath.

He belongs in a B-Canon, and don't get me wrong I like Kyle Katarn (helps that his games were great) and he's nowhere near as absurd as Starkiller. But he should just exist within Video Game continuity.

I dunno, I think I'm with @Admiral Mantoid on this. In the Expanded Universe novels, Kyle makes the odd cameo and has a speaking role on occasion, but rarely drives the story. Something that I'm actually fine with, as the writers are probably aware that, being GFFA Chuck Norris, they'd have to account for him not being the curbstomping ubermensch that he is in the Jedi Outcast games, if they ever gave him more narrative coverage.

That's why I like how he's used in series like LOTF and FOTJ. He's around, he's there, and he has a voice on the Jedi Council, and that's enough to remind me that he exists without stealing narrative real estate from the main characters. The only time the writers have used Kyle's combat prowess to any real degree in the story is when they had him throw down with Jacen in Fury, and that was mostly to illustrate how powerful the latter was as the series' threat. It was a pretty cool duel, too.

Speaking of the novels, my apologies for dragging my ass with the FOTJ coverage---I promise, it's coming. I'm just taking my time somewhat, since a sad part of me knows that this is the final stretch of the EU where I'll get to read about these characters. Label me a sentimental faggot if you must, but I already know that it's going to be hard to read Crucible, and finally say goodbye to them.

And I don't know why the BBQ community would want to identify with a narcissistic, greedy, self-serving, anti-social and homicidal sociopath

They are excited to finally see themselves represented accurately in media.

Which stinks of J.K. Rowling retroactively deciding that Dumbledore was gay in Harry Potter.

Nigga Dumbledore was out of the closet in book 7 when it was very clear he was gay for Nordic Wizard Hitler. Modern literature tip: Anytime any female author has a male character write letters that demonstrate any emotion to another character (that is there are excerpts instead of just a summary of the email), its because the character is looking to fuck the recipient. Female writers cannot conceive of men putting pen to paper for any other purpose.

Of course before she opened her retardhole, it came off a very subtle nod to how Dumbledore was very literally seduced to the dark side and a play of the passions one feels for a cause with those one feels in a romance. And the complete and utter implosion of his world that happened when he had to duel Wizard Hitler.

Or I mean it was like that before she revealed her hackery because people weren't paying enough attention to her. Once she confirmed Dumbledor was a quenn after the fact it completely lost all subtly and relevance, because it wasn't allegory it was her trying to be woke and slide past the censors.

This isn't SW related, but thought you guys might get a kick out of it as it does involve "the fandom menace" group, who we often make fun of. Zack Synder took a dump all over Jeremy from Geeks + Gamers, resulting in Jeremy cucking and TFM cope streams since.

Linked to the comicsgate post where they start talking about it, but it's also being discussed in the zack snyder cut thread in multimedia.

Funny thing is I am going to start reading LOTF and FOTJ later this year.

I never did before but I remember being told they were all awful. After living through Disney Wars though, it'll probably be a pallet cleanser.

They're basically Star Wars : Grimdark, which is why people didn't like them at the time. They go to really dark for SW places.

I saw that on Jeremy's thread here. What did Snyder exactly say. I would love to know what he said that made TFM cope.

LOTF is mainly grimdark but I wasn't a fan of it mostly because of the mishmash of authors resulting in a disconnected narrative (it definitely didn't feel like the same editor behind NJO was behind this) along with some highly questionable choices like how the story veers away from its central premise to focus on some pointless Mando wedding for Jaina's non-existent mando training because Traviss desperately wanted us to know what her favorites were up to instead of simply requesting Lucasfilm to let her write a separate novel for the closure of the Fett family, which would've been an alright standalone story that I'm sure people would've enjoyed more by itself instead of being forced into the plot of an unrelated story (although having Denning write for Boba near the end definitely made him a more likeable character than how Traviss was portraying him). So overall the story would've been better off if they just had a better editor that knew how to tardwrangle people and made sure they worked together. However despite all this, I really enjoyed Betrayal and Invincible and the interactions between Jaina and Jacen throughout the books was the real draw. But if you want to go into it with an optimistic outlook @RumblyTumbly then I suggest you read @Mississippi Motorboater's very detailed reviews and see if that makes you look forward to it or not.

FOTJ though I would not call grimdark at all. Sure it dabbles into some dark things here and there, but it feels more adventurous than grim and feels like a labor of teamwork and love that sticks true to its central themes, and unlike LOTF, FOTJ knew what it wanted to be from start to finish, while LOTF was originally not even going to be a post-OT story, but an Old Republic story that they changed all of a sudden. Only thing that I would've changed about FOTJ was giving Christie Golden a better proofreader, but even that's a minor issue.

LOL Jeremy really is a pussy who cares more about his popular public image than his own opinions. Guy was always a two-faced e-celeb who would parrot any popular opinion if he thought it would net him more views. Like how he oozed coom over TLJ but as soon as all the hate for TLJ started popping up and he started losing subscribers he immediately did a 180 and claimed that he needed to watch TLJ several more times just to finally understand what was wrong lmao.

He disassociated himself from Geeks & Gamers explicity, and in the same breath condemned anti-asian violence. At a best read, Snyder was reading a poorly ordered list of thing WB legal told him to read. What looks like a more accurate read, given the snubbing later, is that Synder called G&G as a bunch of asian-bashing white supremacists based on that linked article that called Red Letter Media alt-right.

That's a shame. I enjoy seeing Jeremy get called out for bullshitting and knocked down a peg, but not if its based on "ur a racist" disinfo from a corporate mandate.

Oh I remmber that article. So I do wonder was Synder just following protocol for WB?

 

[SmugAutist]

So they were once reliable?

Out of all the Fandom Menace, ME is the one that I got really annoyed over because they actually used to make good content, and for the most part, they still do if you look away from their Star Wars material. They actually talked to directors, producers and behind the scene guys. I remember they had been dead right about Fant4stic and the Ghostbusters remake. Their Conan retrospective was amazing, etc. It was when they began to talk to their peers and not actual people in the industry that they started to make shoddy content.

The rest of the Fandom Menace is unwatchable. Doomcuck is either a grifter, which is the most likely explanation, that fools optimistic idiots for clicks, or he is the type of boomer that believes that he won $5,000 because he saw an internet ad. WorldClassBullshitters and EVS are one-note ponies that make the same video over and over again but I'll give WCB the benefit that at least they have never held out hope for Star Wars. Nerdrotic and the rest of the Friday Night Tights crew have become everything that their critics said they were: adult, neckbearded manchildren that complain about absolutely everything and feel entitled to unrealistic expectations. You actually have to tune them out to enjoy anything nowadays.

I can't belive Synder wanted to disassociate form them.

 

[Mississippi Motorboater]

Watching Snyder dunk all over Geeks + Gamers reminds me of Shatner distancing himself from RLM on social media.

I'm just cackling thinking about how hard Jeremy is sobbing into Ahsoka body pillow right now.

 

[verissimus]

I can't belive Synder wanted to disassociate form them.

I can't believe he even wanted to associate with them. Why not some bigger, a bit safer channel like Tyrone Magnus (and yes I know he was on the stream)?

 

[Oats12345]

The Zack Synder dunking on Geeks and gamers. Is going around the internet very quickly. They did it to themselves honeslty. I mean watching the video alone. Synder doesn't really call them a hate group. But hate in general. And he's not wrong look at the fucking videos about Kathleen Kennedy they have done and the hate porn they made of her. And links to him becuase they constantly praise the man as if they want his dick. I could see Synder not wanting his image to be part of that. Granted linking them to a mass shooter was shitty to do. But the other part not so much.

They absolutely did it to themselves.

I was being sarcastic honsely.

that was literally just Shatner being a boomer on Twitter tho, taking everything a sarcastic as hell RLM ever said or did about Star Trak super seriously for some reason. twas just all round silly and confusing. this, however, really is just hilarious and would deffo not mind popcorning while some of these Fandom Menace channels get labelled as the internet KKK or whatever (with about as much power, i.e. next to none).

I think that's pretty much the case with a lot of these youtubers. Their content started veering into Mike Zeroh levels of bullshit the minute they all started hanging out together (especially with Doomcock) and making streams. That gay High Council bullshit only made things worse when all these channels just became clones of themselves. I'm almost certain Doomcock gave them all "advice" on how he achieved quick success and they followed suit (Don't make content guys! Just make streams, make up shit and ask for money!). Even WCB, a channel I really liked, may not have adopted Doomcock's practices but their content became just as lazy when all they started to do was lame streams of themselves just hanging out with people for hours on end the majority of the time instead of making actual content again like posting merch sale and viewership statistics and visiting stores (the only bright side is that they never shilled this Lucasfilm Civil War nonsense and don't dickride Filoni like every other Fandom Menacer). The biggest falls from this though were Midnight's Edge and Mauler, with ME, as you said, becoming obsessed with sucking Doomcuck's cock and doing stream shit with nobodies and Mauler becoming completely addicted to doing streams that are practically days long that no one is going to want to sit through while watching furry avatars lick themselves.

Doomcock was once slightly unmasked in a G&G video, and he looked too young to be a gen Xer even (probably 30ish at most). He is most definitely just a manipulative grifter and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Disney-Lucasfilm sees him as a useful idiot or even an asset, since he's basically the Q for Disney shit, telling morons to 'trust the plan' and keep consooming as Filoni fights muh glorious civil war and helps to release the mythical JJ cut that will fix everything.
