It's 20XX and people are mad online about Star War!

[Momo]

That's not canon to me because I closed that movie when Rey backflipped and cut a space fighter in half after pulling a space freighter from the sky with force powers

[Tasty]

Personally decanonizing TROS is honestly a smart move.

[Momo]

So many fucked things happen in a 5 minute span there I just couldn't. Kylo rips a necklace through space, Rey becomes Spiderman with a lightsaber, the force becomes a galaxy class tractor beam. I just couldn't

[Tasty]

Don't forget the Emperor having enough DUBSTEP FORCE LIGHTNING to disable an entire fleet yet still struggles somehow going one-on-one with a single tiny human...

[chronovore]

A New Hope remade with action figures. Seriously impressive.

I finally saw Rise of the Skywalker and it wasn't good lol

The Mandalorian S2 not only will have Ashoka, but Boba Fett played by the guy who played Jango and all the clones are based on his face. And Hayden coming back for an appearance of Anakin.


that sequels flopped so hard Disney is forced to dip into prequel nostalgia already

Goddamn this shit is so pathetic, but I fucking love it

Keep being a laughing stock Disney

Put JJ Abrams in charge again and bring back flashforwards and flashsideways.

Okay so how long till they add Ewan McGregor and just call it a boogaloo

[team filler]

 

[Momo]

Now Timothy Olyphant is in Mando too? Jesus Boogaloo

[Momo]

Wait Michael Biehn too? So much for a small Star Wars story

[chronovore]

I’m just happy that we have something that feels right. Episode nine felt more like a later Indiana Jones movie then Star Wars, with tombs, prophecies and hidden items, secret maps, it was all just the wrong tone for Star Wars movie. Mandalorian feels like the classic original film. Mostly.

[Ghoul]

The problem Mando is about to have is it’s now the main focus and the only successful thing they have
I’m pretty sure that season two will likely bury it which will be a shame as whilst not great it was good.
I can just see now that they’ll chuck everything at it and create some shit series because that’s how Star Wars works these days.

[Coffee Dog]

I already hit the mental eject button when Mof Gus pulled out an EU memesaber. As much as I want to blame Mando season 2 on the smash success of the first season, Filoni was already licking his chops and getting ready to throw in a buncha goofy shit

[D3RANG3D]

When that dude popped up as the new villain I was like who is this clown, why you gotta do the actual believably threatening villain like that.

[chronovore]

I watched episode four and five. A New Hope was my first time in maybe 10 years, and it was surprising how much the script allows hints of a much larger universe, and coming into the story en media res.

Empire Strikes Back was just about everything I remembered it to be. It is an absolute solid metal film, which continues to trend of using hints to imply story is bigger than just what’s going on onscreen. It was such a mind-blower at the time when Darth Vader says, “I am your father,” and again when Yoda says, “no, there is another.” What!? How!? It was so surprising.

Which is why it is such a typical JJ Abrams fumble that he uses a similar reveal, without understanding why it worked, when we learn that Rey is a Palpatine. The capstone for a 40 year series being blown as badly as episode nine is truly remarkable.

I got over it years ago.

Meanwhile Star Trek thread has enlightening MMarasu posts such as "rewatching VOYAGER so much more fun than Drek!!!" (This is the equivalent of happily watching the prequels instead of the sequels btw)

Point me to the last time I posted in the star wars thread. Meanwhile star trek thread has deranged, you, mmrasu, et al constantly RAGGING about it. I moved on from star wars and made a short snipe post. Get on my level and get over it.

It's pretty sad you have to bring me up everywhere. How am I not allowed to say that imo Voyager is better than any of the new stuff?

It's exactly the type of thing you posted in here  . I mean most people agree that the newest Star Wars stuff is garbage though, although I personally haven't seen it. We also weren't 'ragging'  on Trek. Cmon Cindy. Lets keep it civil.

[CatsCatsCats]

MM quit shitting around about it, already

I was only going to post that Mando was good. Then I saw Cindy mentioned me in another post. Im just trying to tell her that that shit isn't cool. Cut it out already.

Now I'm shitting around. Great

Bruh you already make a few posts about this again today, just like, do something different is all

Why is everyone suddenly having meltdowns over Star Trek/Wars? You nerds need Jesus.

Gate is better than Wars easy and better than Trek. Link to my discord in case anyone needs to be verbally abused into agreement.

Star gate is Ancient Aliens but p good

We all know the story that the pyramids are Tombs of the pharaoh's constructed by slaves BUT some say these are actually extra dimensional landing pads for civilizations far more advanced than ours.

lmao that the preuels are good now, actually.

[Nintex]

They definitely ran out of even the most ridiculous ideas and the last one I saw was something like

"Ben Franklin discovered electricity, but could the founding father have actually been extraterrestrial?"

There's a bunch of them that are bonkers.

Jonah was swallowed by an alien whale is up there along with the theory that the Aztec temples were giant computer circuit boards or something and the evergreen classic the dinosaurs were killed by aliens.

[Madrun Badrun]

Guys can we keep the discussion here to Stargate and not Ancient Aliens? 

[Nintex]

That show had better writers than Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Star Trek: Picard 

[Mr Gilhaney]

Imagine creating something so technologically advanced and at the same have everyone hate it.

i wanted some chill sf to read the other day so i started reading the thrawn trilogy. so far it's hitting all the right notes. i like the way they're depicting the empire being relegated to the far reaches of republic space and being predominantly staffed by scrubs with power fantasies being dominated by one dude that need an ex jedi to boost the virgin masses confidence and ability to coordinate effectively.

[Stoney Mason]

Watched Rise of Skywalker at home for the first time. 

Not much more insight to add than when I watched it at the theater. It's a super messy movie, that wastes a good cast and is poorly written.

It feels like those school papers you stay up the night before they are due and write and think you are doing great work but the next day you read it and none of it makes sense.

It also oddly feels poorly edited but I realize that is mainly due to things not being explained as it lurches around. 

The first two and last two episodes of the Mandalorian S1 make for a much better Star Wars experience.

[Stoney Mason]

The only way to make Rise better is to either cut 50 minutes or add 45 minutes

I agree with you. Either you need to make it a breezy fun short romp like it wants to be but isn't or actually do the work and setup stuff, explain shit and connect tissue. It still probably wouldn't be a great movie or anything but it would make more sense than what it is currently.

[Tasty]

Simply adding 40 of those 45 minutes to the *start* of the movie and setting Palpy and the Final Order up (+ properly explaining shit with Kylo and Snoke and maybe even Knights of Ren and Luke's Temple flashbacks) would elevate it from like D- to B all on its own.

[Pissy F Benny]

They’d be better off making a new film and pretending it never happened

Or... and this is a radical idea, I'm pretty sure... let Star Wars die/rest in peace.



Star Wars... had a hard life.

It honestly should've died once Lucas' interest in the IP waned (and I'd argue during the 00's, with the prequels). But if you really want to be argumentative:

I don't even have the urge to watch The Mandalorian, the world is just so small and not interesting that I don't have that false sense of wonder.

Like for every KotOR 1/2 and Mandalorian, there's 20 Expanded Universe drek that is not worth the time nor makes the series interesting enough to want to explore the rest of the EU. You could say that's on the writers part, and yes that's true. BUT the world design itself is just "meh." There's only so many desert, water, forest -themed planets you can do before they all run together in Star Wars.

[thisismyusername]

One of the problems with the planets is that they film "on location," to cut costs (which is totally fine, I get why the business wants that). But they keep going to that one Desert to film for Tatooine and other desert planets.

I think Corescant is the only "planet"/city that they have to CGI? It's Disney (and Lucas at the time), they have the money. The issue is they won't put that money into green-screens in the sense that they probably feel it'd be too obvious, or because fanlings had a backlash toward the CGI Lucas DID do (Jar Jar) to where they don't try to spruce up and make interesting planets.

It's in goddamn space, make your imagination go wild with how planets look?

They need to somehow get Luc Besson to be in charge of production design for the next Star Wars movie, and then a good director to direct it.
