Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Kamen Rider Black RX]

So, anyone hear anything about how Disney may have ended up creating Star Wars fatigue already? You know, people were pointing out there is a lot of unsold merchandise for TFA, R1 and now possibly TLJ. Oh, and the Rebels cartoon, they're selling toys for that.

So this happened...

Rated autistic simply because the whole thing's autistic.

So Sargon did a "review".

What do they expect when they’re releasing a movie every year? Same shit happened with the Assassin’s Creed series. Look what happened with them when they cut that “one year=one game” shit out. People actually really like Origins.

So, I saw it recently with a friend.
Simultaneously loved and hated it.

Hated it because good god, the writing is fucking abysmal. There are Kiwis who have written better slash-fiction than this movie - no joke. The politics of the movie is so blatant and on full display that it's honestly sort of amazing, and it's pretty much a great example of the Social Justice Effect on Media (the more you pander, the more your work fails).

Why did I love it? Because good god is this movie fucking entertaining, for all the wrong reasons.

From the section where an asian character with no personality or backstory replaces Finn, the affable black guy from the first movie, and essentially relegates his ass to a backseat role with all the hilarious implications that entails, to the fact that the Rebellion appears to be led by a group of asshats who have absolutely zero idea what they're fucking doing, I have not laughed this hard at a piece of Star Wars related media in years.

This would be a perfect movie to watch with drunk friends.

it's "describe a character without referring to what they look like"

And honestly after ten years, the prequel characters' utterly poor writing and hilarious idiocy can allow for a description without any appearence

Anakin - entitled crybaby who hates sand and is just itching for the opportunity to go columbine on the galaxy
Obi Wan - prissy faggot who things effete sarcasm is cool and who is best bros with anakin despite hating him
Padme - meek little princess who acts like an evangelical preacher's sheltered daughter whose only knowledge relationships comes from watching gone with the wind on netflix
Qui Gon - BIGGEST FUCKING FUCKUP SINCE REVAN TURNED DOWN THE CHANCE TO DO ANAL WITH BASTILLA AND WHOSE IDIOCY ENDED UP DESTROYING THE REPUBLIC
Yoda - ineffectual blind and senile grump
Palpatine - the insane, evil, insanely evil, evilly insane yet utterly adorable and hilarious villain who manages to fool the entire galaxy despite being more blatant a villain than a naked nick bate in a kindergarten. also the source of a solid 5% of current meemees
Jar Jar - generic annoying comic relief, not as big a deal as everyone thinks

 

[SuperSheep]

Will anyone fucking remember ANYTHING about these new movies in 10-15 years?

Maybe "TRAITOR!"

 

[Dunsparce]

it's "describe a character without referring to what they look like"

The challenge was not just not bringing up what they look like, but also not bringing up what their occupation or role within the movie is. So basically the people could only describe a character via personality traits.

The guy in the video was really autistic about it but a youtube channel WorldClassBullshitters did a video on that exact thing. The channel is mostly these guys ranting about Disney Star Wars and Disney Marvel.

Don't wanna go all conspiracy theory but they've either DELETED FUCKING EVERYTHING or been shadowbanned because if I look them up absolutely nothing comes up, even on google.

Everything people have been saying has convinced me that I'm gonna need to be drunk as fuck when I finally do see this movie. Not that I mind too much, that's how I got through the prequels so...

Then again as long as Kylo is still a beautiful disaster I'll probably enjoy that at least. Plus all the salt the movie has been creating has been entertaining, not to mention all the shitposts slowly taking over the internet about Luke milking space walruses and Kylo's tiddies.

Speaking of fandom pushback, this isn't the only place stuff like this is happening. Look up the official Star Trek FB page's posts about Discovery sometime. The comments are always a Trekkie riot over it being fake Star Trek and demands for more Orville.

I may have to check out Orville. I was worried it might be too much of a Galaxy Quest clone. Is it more like a Star Trek send off, like Psych! was for crime dramas?

Spoiler

Also, these assholes shat on Jay Bauman for having a MOR opinion of the film. (read bottom to top).

How long until we have a community or salt thread about star wars?

It has way more Star Trek people involved that the actual current Star Trek. Brannon Braga, Jonathan Frakes, Robert Picardo I can think of right now. The last few episodes have been less jokey than... well, The Last Jedi was honestly.

At least the prequels gave us memes.

So not only did they miss the whole bit in TFA where it's mentioned that the vast majority of Storm Troopers like Finn were people who were abducted from their homes as children and brainwashed into soldiers, but pointing this out is exactly the same as defending real life Nazis?

That's some Olympic platinum metal worthy mental gymnastics right there.

 

[The Nothingness]

Maybe "TRAITOR!"

BB-8 might be remembered for this.
