Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

I always assumed the Kessel Run was a trading route or something - people say "the school run" when they drop their teenager off at highschool, their younger kid off at middle school at few blocks away, then go home again, so I thought it was from Kessel to a bigger trading point.
 
I preferred the somewhat script-backed explanation that Han was trying to scam them/ran his mouth faster than his brain.
Yeah me too. Jabba's men were after him, he was desperate to get a job and to get out of there so he tried everything to convince the old man and the kid that he was the best man for the job. You can see the reaction from Kenobi, he doesn't believe him at all but he has no choice.
I always saw Han Solo as a successful Harry Mudd.
 
Looking in the article it has to do with Brazilian antitrust regulations and if Disney would need to sell either Fox Sports or ESPN there for the deal to go through. Brazil is a pretty arbitrary place for Disney to run afoul of antitrust regulations, but that's where it happened.
I never would've thought that it would all come down to Brazil of all places to fuck Disney's shit up like this.

If they do, then it will basically ruin any chance of a blu ray of the the original trilogy in its original cut.

Also, the Disney-SW Shillers who are SJWs really despise Brazil’s new president, so they will blame him for it.

It amazes me that its turned out like this. That release is why so many got on the Disney bandwagon in the first place. If they lose any chance of releasing that, they're fucked.

So two crates of salt for the price of one? Shit just keeps getting more interesting.

If that fails, Disney could get the rest of the rights to the first six from Fox, sorta like they did with the first few MCU films with Paramount.

Though I imagine it’ll be difficult, considering that Fox financed A New Hope for Lucas.
 
There was apparently a Star Wars podcast of some sort that had some hints and leaks about IX in it, the contents of which have gotten a lot of discussion on reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsLe...light_tidbits_from_new_msw_podcast_including/

The main thing that seems to have even Disney drones curious and concerned is that the movie will center around some kind of MacGuffin (an all important plot device/object everyone wants). Seems most speculation in the comments revolves around the MacGuffin being another Starkiller, a sith artifact, Vader's lightsaber or a time machine (the time anus).

However the Podcast mostly talks about the KOR (Knights of Ren) and that the MacGuffin is considered "delightful" but possibly "controversial to fans", which makes me further suspect its time travel or something dumber like Luke's hand or Vader's dark half ghost, but I'm leaning on it being a sith relic that leads to the time anus, which is probably why the Vader comic was made to explain where JJ's new MacGuffin comes from to not make it seem like an asspull. Remember the issue me and Zaryiu posted before where Vader got sucked into the time anus? No doubt that story arc was made to explain whatever bullshit is coming, assuming the rumors are accurate.
- Jason has not heard anything about all the KOR being women (and personally that seems unlikely though some may be)



- Jason believes the red and black stormtroopers also come from the Beyond with the KOR, meaning that they might be primarily loyal to the KOR despite technically being Kylo's and the KOR's



- Jason has heard that some of the KOR are force users, but some are not, bringing together the various rumors we have had that we should not assume Force powers of the KOR.



- Jason hasn't gotten the term sith stormtrooper confirmed, so it may well just be a nickname on set (recall that BB-9E was called BB-H8). No indication they can use the force. He personally doubts they can.



- Really the main thing Jason has been told about the MacGuffin is that it's controversial. One person who is balanced and hands off fandom did say that it was delightful, but the repeated word has been controversial, from people who get the fandom more. When Jason said that this was pretty usual for fandom, they said that many of the things in TLJ did not strike them as controversial. This, however, does.



- He has not gotten any bites on it being something like Vader's lightsaber (which doesn't reject it, but for what it's worth)



- Jason knows they shot promotional stuff in Jordan; he doesn't think Rose was there though doesn't know. (I would guess it might be hard to find out, and especially if they filmed some Jordan stuff on set, this might not be very relevant).



- Jason says he's seen some images of the IX script and it seems longer than usual. Does later say that given the improv nature of what we have been hearing, it's possible they're just gunning for it and planning on cutting down later.



- Jason confirms that he's heard Dominic is a Resistance leader



- Jason seconds the idea of Jordan having been possibly used for two planets (which per The Great TB Scandal of '19, matches previous info)
There's also a mention of some snowflake troopers being from the "Beyond", that the Knights of Ren may not be force sensitive and the script is very long which fits with a previous rumor that someone here mentioned before about IX probably being the longest film in the series.


And on a bigger note, Anthony Daniels has made another weird tweet hinting a trailer is coming soon, but one word sticks out from his tweet that makes me further suspect that time travel is happening.

ERROR... should read... REBOOT... PAL...is your only ho... fading ... kno....
Guess SW may really be getting the JJ Star Trek reboot treatment. Its all that needed to happen to please JJ's ego to make his story the "Prime" universe and make way for an OT remake.

Also here's an HD pic of what Emo Ren is going to look like in the new film.

According to some shitty inside sources, he will only be wearing the mask for about half the film which gets weirdos excited because Ren's hair turns them on.

Further more, they're releasing a new "Ultimate Guide to the Star Wars universe" in October to get people "hyped" for the IX (its the same guides they've been releasing every other six months since TFA to try and explain plot holes, inconsistencies and unexplained shit like how the Starkiller's beams could be seen throughout the universe on multiple planets all at the same time). Seems some are complaining that its misleading due to its description claiming that it covers all the SW films/eras but in actuality it only covers the the pre-Disney films and TFA. Another common complain about these new guides and the Disney SW Universe is that despite only being 5 years old, its more bloated, confusing and hard to follow than the original, despite that the original had over 30+ years of content, so in less than 5 years Disney has already managed to saturate what some shills thought would be a smaller and easier to follow canon and narrative (made all the more ironic with how small the universe feels now due to over-relying on cameos from the films, Rebels and Filoni Wars). All the while publishing more shitty and contradictory content than their predecessors ever did within a smaller time frame but with far fewer games and all the while leaving the authors Disney has hired in a disgruntled state. Heckle the old EU all you want, but it took them 30 years to get cluttered and George had people like Chee constantly monitor and rewrite inconsistencies, unlike Disney which just does not give a shit. And if anyone points these issues out, you get labeled a russian bot alt-righter for going against the true holders of the IP (Disney) and being disgusted at anyone, even George, for daring to speak against the "new and true lords of Star Wars". This kind of cultish brand/company loyalty is getting out of hand. These people would eat literal shit if Disney marked it as a "must own" piece of officially canon SW merch.

Anyway, here's a bird's eye view of one of the Star Wars parks which are scheduled to open in Fall.
Wow. A blue X-Wing... Also it just donned on me how odd the name for this park is. "Galaxy's Edge", meanwhile the Cars park is called Radiator Springs, the Toy Story one is called Toy Story Land and the Avatar one is called "World of Avatar-Pandora", but then you have Galaxy's Edge which really doesn't regularly use the name of its media of origin nor is its name taken from anything familiar from the films, and when you compare it to the previous three or even the minimalist "Marvel Land", there's something clearly off about it and how little its inspired by the media it originates from. Its like it was designed for the possibility of failure so it'd be easy to remodel into a generic alien world park. I mean the only true Star Wars things about it are the ships and those can easily be removed and replaced with more generic ships if they wanted. What the heck are they planning...

Johnson is said to have chosen to step away from the Star Wars franchise in order to focus on other projects.
Is this his way of trying to "go out with dignity" or "on his own terms" to mask the fact that he royally fucked up, even by Disney-Lucasfilm standards? If so, what a ham. Regardless, the sequel trilogy to the sequel trilogy might actually be dead at last.

But this does remind me of another piece of news I read yesterday talking about the Game of Thrones guys Disney hired a while back to make a live action Star Wars show, except the article's writer was talking as if rather than a show, they actually intended to make a movie trilogy and that it might still be happening. I guess they might be trying to sweep the TV show thing under the rug, but this might also mean the sequel trilogy to the sequel trilogy might still happen under them, unless the article was bullshitting.

There’s two possibilities for this I feel.
  1. Disney-Lucasfilm realized what a giant clusterfuck TLJ was and didn’t want to take another chance with Johnson again.
  2. The story outline and revisions Johnson presented to Kennedy were so bad she cancelled it.
One of these possibilities or both are likely true.

I'll believe it when there's more solid proof, his trilogy has been 'rumored' to be canceled several times now. Personally I think it'll just languish in development hell.
If that’s the case, assuming Disney moves away from Star Wars in the future, the project will get destroyed in development hell.

I'm personally leaning on 1, since 2 would imply that Kathleen Kennedy gives a flying fuck, but a third option is possible in that he simply wanted to back out of this now after realizing that it could permanently stain his reputation beyond all repair, although his reputation is already beyond repair.
 
helping poison one of their golden gooses sort of pisses them off.
I don't doubt some of the higher ups at Disney are pissed (or confused), but I have a hard time believing Kennedy really gives a shit about Rian poisoning a goose she was happily poisoning herself from Day 1, especially when considering how much she loved TLJ. And even if she wanted to give a shit, she's probably more concerned with looking out for her own behind.

You think they ever read the story of the Golden Goose? Because I’m sure as shit think they didn’t.
 
Guess the Mouse House had enough of that cuck.
I assume they had enough of that dipshit the moment TLJ generatedan ever growing amount of dissent in their core audience in the first few weeks of the movie being released, however the damage was done and they had to engage in their usual damage control.
Just like with Ghostbusters, that means to try to put a lid on criticism by strawmanning those that criticise into some political camp or some undesirable group. This gets more aggressive, and Disney actively attempted to shame people into silence, which always works wonders.
However, they have little choice, they can't go "Yeah, that several-hundred-million-dollar movie in our several-billion-dollar franchise was bad", so they publically show a lot of support while announcing some grand future projects that they are not the least bit committed to, so it'll fade away once the buzz has died down.

As much as I enjoyed the GoT TV show, the sad truth is that the ones making it aren't particularly good at story-writing. They are quite good at making an adaptation, but the moment they go off the rails, shit falls apart very quickly.

They are the very definition of "Standing on the shoulders of giants".
