Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Blamo]

What could possibly go wrong? As it turns out: literally everything.

Some intern is trying to warn the world.

 

[TheAmbiguousLurker]

Geode hasn't yet appeared in other High Republic media, but will apparently be in IDW's The High Republic Adventures #6 which will be released July 21.

Yeah, I saw a picture of it on the StarWarsLeaks subreddit. I asked because all the comments in that thread were going on about how everyone misjudged Geode, was curious if there was something I missed.

There is no redeeming Geode, those people are just morons, I'm sure.

Those morons will eat up anything.

Its just the rock playing Plank again while the obnoxious characters drool out sarcasm and act like the rock can communicate... again.

 

[Newman's Lovechild]

Plank is a good comparison. I just thought they were just trying to rip off Groot from the MCU, with an extra layer of cringey hipster humor.

 

[Mississippi Motorboater]

I mean, remember, Geode was cooked up by the same deranged cat-lady who thought that Walking Asparagus was the single greatest threat that the Jedi could face because "muh thorns" and "muh poison", as well as being the one responsible for creating a character for no other reason than to satisfy her weird fetish for Matthew McConaughey.

Rick Deckard ended up being a loser and a real human bean as well.

It's been a while since I last watched either Blade Runner film, but I disagree with that assessment. Deckard struck me as a more fallible, mortal character than Han or Indy. He barely survived the first film, often needing someone else to save him or, in Pris's case, make insane decisions during a fight. While Ford is naturally a charismatic actor, I never got the impression that people were charmed by Deckard in Blade Runner's world. He's a washed up veteran of a dangerous job. Only slightly respected for his skills, but otherwise people don't give a shit what happens to him. Deckard's no puckish rogue like Han or Indy. Deckard didn't want to be involved in the first place, and in the end he has to run away with Rachel. I think his situation in the sequel matched his character in the first.
As for being human, the sequel didn't answer that question. When they first confirmed Deckard would be in the film, I thought it confirmed he was human, too. However, we're shown that Rachel is explicitly a Nexus 7 Replicant, not 6 like the ones Deckard fought in the first film, and not 8 like the sequel's current branch. So Deckard could be human, but he could also be the same type of Replicant as Rachel- no four-year lifespan, and memories implanted to make him believe he's human.

Good points. As for the replicant question, that is best let being open ended.
I think I was biased against the new movie, because I got used to the trend of making old characters being messed up. But yeah, Deckard was never really on top of things. Not really a master of his own destiny unlike Han Solo or Indiana Jones.

 

[Creep3r]

Plank is a good comparison. I just thought they were just trying to rip off Groot from the MCU, with an extra layer of cringey hipster humor.

At least Groot actually moves around, has a character and emotes, even if he can only say one word. Geode is just one big joke that gets dragged out way longer than necessary and his only "contribution" was standing in a convenient spot at the right time and getting stuck in an airlock. This is the kind of character that should only be in one page of a story as a throwaway gag of a scifi setting, instead he's around throughout the whole thing as if this was a Saturday morning cartoon.

One comparison that comes to mind from pre-Disney SW is the Tsil.

Crystals that only appeared prominently in one book as transmitting components for ships and droids, but despite this, they were treated with religious reverence by the people of their homeworld, with their local priests claiming they can "hear" them and wanting to stop their commercial use, resulting in many seeing them as insane or as con artists trying to hoard the crystals for themselves. and Luke eventually finds out that they're alive as well when they share with him visions of their destruction and of the imperial remnant operating within their world. They don't do anything, are treated as batteries in a sense, and can only "speak" with those that can hear the Force, but they're an essential plot device necessary for the story's progression and therefore serve an actual purpose that's not overplayed, in contrast to a slab of rock who is just a drawn out joke that sticks around far longer than it needed to.

 

[:gold:]

So, because Harrison Ford can't say "no", all of his important legacy Characters (I mean it is rare to find an actor whose roles influenced popculture this much.) will be ending up as sad losers? Making sure my life's legacy get tainted around the time of my death is sure what I would like to avoid as much as possible.

Han Solo ended up being a loser.
Rick Deckard ended up being a loser and a real human bean as well.
possible Indiana Jones will end up being less than good

Say what you want about Sylvester Stalone, but at least he somewhat kept Rambo and Rocky in a much better shape.

Is Harrison Ford is such a need for money or is he obliged by some contracts to do these movies? If he hated Han Solo I am sure he must hate Indiana Jones as well. Also so much for not being typecast.

Harrison Ford belongs in a museum.

Groot was designed as a character by somebody who wanted to make a cool plant monster guy. Geode is just snarky hipster humor as a concept. I mean if it was a cool rock monster, sure I can imagine that being a thing. It could even be an interesting challenge to design and integrate into the setting. Since Wookiees we know that clothing is optional as long as you have a big enough gun.

Harrison Ford belongs in a museum.

>inb4 Harrison Ford dies then they resurrect him as a deepfake

 

[Creep3r]

Harrison Ford belongs in a museum.

Man looks like he's being mummified in real time... And I'm pretty sure Disney just wants him dead.

After Harrison Ford Is Injured On Indiana Jones 5 Set, Disney Releases Statement

Disney has spoken out after Harrison Ford's injury on the Indiana Jones 5 set.

amp.cinemablend.com

In the course of rehearsing for a fight scene, Harrison Ford sustained an injury involving his shoulder. Production will continue while the appropriate course of treatment is evaluated, and the filming schedule will be reconfigured as needed in the coming weeks.

Think of it. If Ford dies, people will feel obligated to see this piece of crap for being his "last performance" and even if its an insulting disaster and all around piece of crap that makes a mockery of the franchise and its fans, people (both shills and critics) will refuse to have this garbage ever be decanonized or even memory hole'd (despite that it doesn't affect distribution) simply because its Ford's "last role", even if it makes a complete joke out of him, just like how people defend the Disney Trilogy for being Carrie's last performance, despite that it makes a complete mockery of her character (and co-stars) by making her a bipolar bitch that can fly like Mary Poppins and who's obsessed with Rey, and all the while completely wasting her acting talent.

They always need a sacrifice.

I'm sure Indy 5 will be retarded but how about you get Chris Pratt as Belloq's son and old ass Indy has to stop him from being the same arrogant jerk his dad was

Oh wait that might be interesting and would have been better for Indy 4 than 5

I do not hate myself so I haven't seen the sequel, but Ridley Scott (after years of being a smarmy cunt dancing about it) confirmed in an interview that in Blade Runner Deckard is a replicant. So I guess they retcon that.

Ford never cared about the characters that he played.

Ford never cared about the characters that he played.

That makes sense. It is just a job after all.

 

[Drag-on Knight 91873]

That makes sense. It is just a job after all.

"Part time."

So... she ripped off Plank and the Broccoli aliens from the Powerpuff Girls.

Wow, such creativity. I can't wait until I see Mom and Dad rip-offs from Cow and Chicken. Or two stupid dog aliens. I wonder what braindead bootleg from 90's cartoon network you'll next see?
