Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Mr. Zed da Robot Poon Fed]

I don't come on here very much but Goddammit, can't they just stop. Wait 5 or 6 years and do a stupid Mando and Grogu movie if you have to, but no more than 1 show a year either. I grew up on this shit and I hate it now. I don't even want to watch the OT anymore. Like maybe ever. I mean Empire Strikes Back will always been my favorite movie for many reasons, but give it a break you morons. Let some damn time happen to build up some hype or more nostalgia. There will be people that'll be nostalgic even for the ST after awhile, maybe not many and not for ROS for sure, but there will be something to deal with at least.

And these shows don’t last more than two or three seasons under Disney. Are we even going to have a fourth Mando season?

After the numbers S3 brought? Lol

A fourth season that leads up into the movie as the 4th season finale.

I guess this because it would be the Dumbest (and thus most hilarious) way to do Mando and Grogu Baby Yoda (More Mech has Baby Yoda on it than Grogu still so Disney using the actual character name is hilarious because nobody knows who the fuck Grogu actually is)

The same way that The Book of Boba Fett had Cad Bane as its hook and we all know how that turned out.

The hook was Boba Fett, the issue is that the show had no idea what it was doing which resulted in it having less actual plot than a subpar DS9 episode.

Are we even going to have a fourth Mando season?

They'll milk Mando until Pedro Pascal gets bored enough that he doesn't even want the paycheck anymore, and I don't think that the suits will leave the era to dry since it's the closest they've gotten to a positive audience reception since Rogue One and they need to put something new onto their streaming service and Star Wars still has enough brand recognition to get some people interested.

The show almost seemed self aware their Boba Fett was lame so they tried to make it seem like Cad Bane was going to bring in the views.

First of all, I didn't even know there was a season 2 of Bad Batch. Looks like Ventress being in this season is going to be a major selling point, because Filoni doesn't even make new characters anymore. All he does is recycle shit from The Clone Wars (especially the women) and pretend that he's telling a new story.

Oh hey, and it says here that this is the final season. Who wants to bet actual, real life money that none of these characters (aside from maybe Crosshair) is going to bite it? Omega at least is guaranteed to go off and join Ahsoka in the hall of "Immortal Characters"

Here we going again. Milking the cash cow until she is deader than dead.

You're making the bold assumption that the crayon-eating manchildren that fap to Filoni's shows even care about consistency or canon over fanservice.

Another coomsoomer.
Another retard that will only lower the quality of a once great franchise.

You know, I've never even liked yellow lightsabers. It's a pure novelty. Personally, I've been fine with blue and green all these years.

Agreed.
Who the heck wants a piss colored lightsaber?

The Virgin Brom Titus: throws out continuity for a quick hit of nostalgia.

The Chad Joe Bongiorno: fuck it, find a way to make everything canon, including D6 rpg content in a French magazine.

Speaking of which, @Mississippi Motorboater have you read Supernatural Encounters yet? I figured that you’d be up on that given Bongiorno’s inclusion of esoteric lore elements.

SW RPG was fun. I remember play as the son of a clone trooper once (think Connor Freeman) in a post-Endor campaign. (I originally wanted to play as a clone trooper but the GM reminded me of the accelerated aging so I pulled a Connor Freeman instead.)

So they'll rip off Tag and Bink but with wahmen, trannies, and niggers?

Or steal something from Star Wars: Tales without crediting it, like the whole resurrected Maul design.

Ventress had a proper send off with Dark Disciple and its their fuck up for not adapting it on the last season of Clone Wars instead of having turd shaped hair sisters and their filler-eque plots. But this is Feloni, he has a serious case of not knowing when to let go of his characters (even if she isnt originally his, she is a 2003 C.W creation).

Going to be 100% honest - I actually don't mind Dark Disciple being tossed, as I personally thought killing off Ventress was doing her dirty, especially since that one episode that kicked off her arc as a bounty hunter/merc ("Bounty") showed there was a lot you could do with her character and take her in a new and exciting direction. I still to this day remember watching that episode all those years ago, being very enthralled at the time and going "Okay, this is different, this is interesting, I could watch and really get into a show like this."

That, and I do get immense schadenfreude from seeing the "It's all 100% canon now!" directive that Disney started out with all it's multimedia only a little over a decade ago get constantly cut down whenever Dave wants to pull out his Star Wars action figures and smash them together on screen.

I like a franchise that has a lot of different authors working at it at the same time and they manage to be somewhat consistent. I never understood why current star wars cant do this since they did it in the past.

It cant just be Filoni retarded actions tho, there must be a more concrete answer

Because they retired tiered Canon and tried to make everything part of the same continuity. Old EU never 100% agreed with itself (origin of Boba Fett, for instance) but the hierarchy of media formed a sort of sort function: depending on what tier a work was on, it only really had to worry about not contradicting the tiers above it.

 

[Male Idiot]

In old KOTOR canon lightsaber colours had meaning. Blue was Guardian, a combat/fighty jedi. Yellow was Sentinel, a kind of spy like Jedi, and green was Consular, a mage/philosopher like jedi.

Dark Jedi sometimes had orange and Jedi weaponsmaster (super rare champion) has purple, because Samuel Jackson wanted his OC color.

The prequels somewhat followed this. Anakin and Obiwan had blue, Yoda and Quigon green.

This is all predicated on Dave being able to do anything new or creative as a writer. That ain't gonna happen.

Because everything has to be Marvel style now. "Everything is canon" now means that everything has to be as streamlined as possible so that it can eventually be adapted into a shitty TV show or movie. Disney doesn't believe in building out and letting authors create new eras because the only success they have is when everything revolves around TCW and the Empire.

I still remember when classic Bioware was given the chance of either do a Star Wars Ep 2 game or a Star Wars game set thousands of years before the events of the OT and they went with the latter, making one of the most iconic Star Wars games of all time.

 

[Screamer_2]

What actually was the Star Wars Story Group? Remember they set up some group to take hold of the story and consistency and then there was no consistency or story?

When I visited Lucasfilm some years ago, there was shut off areas for the story group. So sensitive and top secret the other employees couldn't even see in as was were erected where none used to be to block it off. Then there was no control of the story. Just books filling in the gaps from the films that were ignored by the next film makers.

Well, it helps that Episode 2 directly spawned a bunch of kickass games anyway like Bounty Hunter and Battlefront. Back then, it didn't take 5 years and 2 billion dollars to make things.

I guess I must applaud Disney, its not everyday a company comes, buys a good chunk of entertainment rooted in our culture and utterly destroys it with no signs of pulling the breaks.

Disney seems more than satisfied going down, as long they take a good chunk of IPs down with them

Classic Lucasarts trusted the IP to smaller developers and, sure, not all of it paid off or looked amazing but the good more than outweight the bad. Even Bounty Hunter, while not exactly amazing, was still unique enough of a setup that it earned at least a single playthrough for fans.

Disney legit gave an exclusive license deal with E.A of all companies and the best their games we got was the Jedi Fallen series which, while far from bad, doesnt feel like it makes up for a decade of mediocrity at the best of times.

There is a reason most S.W games they are releasing now are remasters/ports of the old ones that arent even canon anymore. Its almost like an admission of defeat and trying to win us over with the past that they claimed to hate so much.

I enjoyed EAfront II far more than I did Fallen Order, I really don't care for modern action games where everything takes way too long to kill and all the boss fights are ridiculously overtuned for people who just want to swing around a lightsaber and kill things.

Still, the best of EA just doesnt compare much to the best of the pre-disney games

 

[LORD IMPERATOR]

After Asajj Ventress came back, I'm betting that Plo Koon will be next to show up.

I've had a glance at it, and to be honest, it was a bit overwhelming, and it was an exercise in brain herniation trying to wrap my mind around some of the concepts in there. It's a lot...but I did take great interest reading about the Celestials, due to the way they were successfully incorporated in the last series of EU novels.
