Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

What do you think would happen if IX succeeds or fails at the box office?

If it succeeds (defining "success" as Force Awakens box office numbers and critical acclaim), JJ will have much more influence within Lucasfilm even if KK stays around. Expect a lot of "things you know"-style projects (including an Obi-Wan movie) getting officially greenlit and hyped.

If it does ok (better than TLJ, worse than TFA), Kennedy may or may not leave and the series will continue to wind down and focus more on TV and EU stuff in lieu of blockbuster trilogies. Basically moving along the same trajectory Bob Iger has the franchise on while they wait for episode IX to release.

If it absolutely bombs, KK and Rian Johnson are almost immediately out, everything they haven't literally started filming is effectively canceled, and Disney likely lets the IP go dark for a few years in the hopes people forget about the sequels. I'd say it's likely in this scenario that the Galaxy's Edge park stuff starts being re-imagined as a franchise independent of Star Wars in order to recoup on the massive investment Disney's made in their Star Wars park.
 
A valet stole the Falcon... for a joy ride... Wow... what a story Mark... Wow. I think I'm so upset that I've transcended beyond any means of physically expressing it.

If IX somehow manages to succeed, I'd think the average fan would have guarded optimism and look to see what happened with the next major SW item released by Disney to see if they finally turned the corner in producing good content or instead backslid to producing garbage again.

If it fails, Disney may end up in one of two scenarios:
  1. Doing damage control where they have to reevaluate their plans for the SW franchise and the personnel involved (e.g.Kennedy, Johnson, etc.), or
  2. Doubling down on nuWars and producing even more of the same lackluster, uninspired content despite its continued lukewarm-at-best reception from fans as a whole.
 
Was Vader's voice Anakin's own but "amplified", or was it some kind of "telepathic" broadcast through the speakers in his helmet?

If the former, I've always thought it would be cool if we could just faintly hear the Vader voice when he was speaking to Luke with his helmet off, as the thing near his mouth looks like a microphone or something.
He was given a modulator so he could sound like an elderly black man

Wow, I blink and have suddenly fallen behind on this thread. Suffice to say, I just learned about...

So apparently this happened.

If anyone remembers, Disney made a new cartoon that's supposed to be a retelling of the original trilogy (since Turner holds the broadcasting rights to the OT and for some reason Disney still can't release the non-SE version of the OT). Well the newest short really goes out of its way to portray Luke and all the other guys as bumblers who actually needed Leia to save them and she was the true and only hero. And this is the official retelling since the show is marked as freaking "Canon" rather than Infinity, non-canon or Legends etc. Oh what a hoot.

And to further add to this news, Disney has announced that they will make no attempts to market or even publicly talk about their new Star Wars land theme park, claiming that its going to be so big that it can't possibly fail. Which would explain the recent decline in new info and official spoilers.

This all sounds so off. Why wouldn't you want to advertise this? Everyone I know isn't even aware that this park exists and most of them loved TLJ.

We were warned! I know someone else on this thread talked about them remaking the original...

The Sequels might as well already be that, maybe in a few decades when Star Wars is fading in cultural relevance they'll do a straight up remake if they decide to not to make the sequel-sequel trilogy featuring the Second Order bumrushing the New nu-Republic and the search for the great Jedi Master Rey.

Same. As terrible as this is, I kind of get excited about the idea of how much salt would flow if they should remake the original trilogy or make their own even crazier special edition. OT purists and fans of all kinds would lose their proverbial shit, and that kind of hilarious spergotry would probably cancel out any negative feelings we would have in this thread.

Apparently the problem with both of you is that you were both too optimistic.
 
Aw jeez, that subreddit. That place has more or less dedicated itself to shielding The Last Jedi from all criticism.

Fun fact, they usually defend TLJ by shitting on the PT. Yep, dismissing a "circlejerk" by engaging in a different one.
It's even bled into meme subreddits. I saw someone get called "unironic r/moviecirclejerk" on r/raimimemes of all places for not kiss assing a movie that hadn't come out yet, as if what movie circle jerk does ironically isn't already autistic and doing it unironically is at least being honest with yourself instead of trying to delude what you're saying into "biting satire" when you're really just shitposting by CoPyInG wHaT oThEr PeOpLe SaY aNd TyPiNg LiKe ThIs
 
/r/saltierthancrait has uploaded a page from a recent comic that explains how Han lost the Millennium Falcon.

Honest question, why does Lucasfilms have it out for Han? What did he do to deserve getting constantly mocked?

So... let me get this straight.
Han Solo divorces Leia, who then proceeds to screw around with Holdo, meanwhile Han goes farting about in the universe, picks up some alien cocksucker who looks like his head is a potato that started to sprout roots, said alien is trusted with guarding the ship, instead steals it to brag about to random chucklefucks, it somehow gets lost or stolen again or whatever, it ends up on Jakku, presumably stays there for many years, is then eventually found by Rey who starts it and within minutes of doing so, Han finds it thanks to a tracker (that he inexplicably never used before)... and then two smuggler gangs pop up that Han failed to deliver his goods to . . . . and he gets bested at flying the Falcon by someone who's never sat inside a spaceship-cockpit before, just so he can get killed by his own son.

With all the shit they did to Han, somehow having the Falcon being stolen in such an insultingly vapid way is just...

It's the literal definition of "kicking someone while they're down."

Since Ford isn't involved in Star Wars nearly as much as Hamil is, they can kick the shit out of Han with a lot less protest than they can Luke. I'm surprised they didn't make Obi Wan look like shit, since Sir Alec Guinness isn't alive anymore. So yeah, as the original cast starts to drop off, their characters will be twisted and destroyed as much as possible (as long as they're male).
 
I can only hope and pray that Episode IX recons itself and the entire sequel trilogy out of continuity the sane way Sonic '06 did.
The only retconning that would take place if Lucasfilm were no longer under ownership of Disney. Though as awesome as it sounds, it’s sadly won’t become a reality.

If there's a positive to Disney owning Star Wars, it's that there's 35 years of available stuff you can get without Disney ever seeing a red cent. You want Star Wars novels? There's sure to be one you haven't read, super cheap, at a used bookstore, and not written by a woke Tumblrite. You want games? Easy to get a hold of, and almost all of them better then EA will make in their contracted years. Hell, there's even versions of the movies that are better than Disney's releases and available far cheaper.

Plus, if you're the creative type there's plenty of space to make media that's "Star Wars with the serial numbers filed off". Somebody make Sort-Of-KOTOR or Kinda-TIE Fighter if you want to.

The tools to diminish Disney's importance are there. Few have realized and seized them yet, though.
