How would /sw/ have done Episode VIII?

The only real rule is you are not allowed to change The Farce Awakens in any way.

Bonus points if you have a better title and the logo isn't in red for some retarded reason.

Then I wouldn't even bother because that shit movie destroys the internal logic of the entire universe. Ryan did the best thing he could possibly do by shitting all over that movie and its plotlines. The Farce Awakens ruined hyperspace travel, it ruined the force by having Rey just magically be the best there ever was, it ruined the politics and worldbuilding of the universe, it fucked up everything. You can't build something great upon a rotting foundation, and The Farce Awakens is just about the worst foundation one could ever have.

First Disney’s nu-characters are garbage so you would need to recast (Daisy Ridley & Adam Driver especially) with better actors that can believably portray those characters. Second there are too many ugly people cast into roles (particularly the women) where are the attractive women? You know with actual tits like women tend to have and a female form? Third the excessive amount of leftist forced diversity/feminism propaganda in these films have created a situation where there are no competent men or few white people in these movies moreover there are even less aliens due to this pc bullshit this needs to be fixed. Fourth new order/resistance this has to go its retarded, confusing and sounds like a larpy communist or globalist group. The republic should be known as shock “the republic” and the “new order” as the “Imperials/Empire remnants”. Fifthly the imperials need to stop shouting instead they need to act like the imperial officers in the OT. Lastly the storm troopers should not be a joke rather they should be deadly and brutal.

<Cannot touch the corrosive poison that killed the soywars sequel’s foundation

That is tough if I can’t touch TFA then I would use TLJ to retcon/fix the events of TFA as possible.

Simply put TLJ should have focused mainly on Luke Skywalker as the central character & his plutonic relationship with Rey. Luke and Rey essentially need to become something like what Obi-wan and Anakin should have been in the prequels.

Luke’s story up until this point is as follows: Luke created a jedi academy with a small amount of students, the republic seemingly prospered, the imperial remnant was exiled to the outer fringes of the galaxy and no longer a threat. Years pass ( ~10 years before the film) Luke feels a strange disturbance in the force and discovers a dark influence over the republic, his students start to fall to the darkside, the whispers of a new emperor, and resurgent Imperial fleet and army. He leaves to the outer fringes to face this threat there he discovers a very powerful ancient Sith (Snoke or whomever) that is too powerful for him to face alone, he can no longer trust what is left of his students so he withdraws and maroons himself on the island to traiPost too long.

There's an aspect of the mousewar I haven't personally seen discussed a lot, and it's comparable to an open exhaust port for "our" side.

Boycotts & a memewar are all well & good, but they ignore one half of the weakpoint that is profitability. Losing potential billions in it all only tells them their current strategies are unsuccessful, it leaves open to their interpretations what "would" be.

The "blanking" of the EU from their main/official canon, in my mind, serves a dual purpose: it frees them up to do as they choose with it, and it forces everyone familiar with the EU to re-buy whatever they put out in those newly made blank periods.

There's a pretty clear example of their tendencies in the form of Hamill. Looking very doubtful IX will do anything with Luke beyond the ubiquitously expected brief Force ghost cameo; nothing beyond that & a few minor voiceover roles on their shitheap "FORCE IS STRONK WOMERN" cartoon shorts meant to "subtly" (aka nail in through the testicles with a hammer) weave their OC back through their canon like they were always present somewhere offscreen (thanks George for setting the bar there low as hell to begin with). Whether it's out of spite for him, us, or a combination of both, he seems to have been essentially fucking dropped by them as both a character & an actor. When the objectively smart thing, and that which "we'd" want, is for them to increase the focus on him & work at restrengthening the character.

Therefore the likely outcome of cutting the brand's profitability, yet leaving it open to their interpretation, rather than any direct, real time, current evidence of course correction to right the profit ship; is them taking some other left-field kind of approach to building their own fanbase again, while not only ignoring our business, but actively spiting it.

Therefore, imo, we need to be also nudging them however possible with positive income. Buying only those very scant few things they try to do which people feel is the right direction, and (in many cases) REbuying, to the extent one can afford to, all of the EU things we like the most.

You should have learned by now that large companies only care about profit if their board of directors step in to say so. The fact is, that in such large organizations the employees are disconnected from actual profit made, and so marxist ideology reigns supreme over financial incentive, wherever and whenever possible. Remember that Disney stock is still doing OK, so the board will be hands-off. No positive changes will come.

That seems great in theory, but we all know they'll just funnel the money from that to say their shitty films and nuCanon haven't failed.

With all due respect OP, you sound like a shill.

You might just honestly believe this is the right idea, but it'll likely just lead them to believe that people are interested in Star Wars. Beyond that, books are just never going to be quite as profitable as big budget films. There may be less of an investment, but the money just doesn't compare. The most you'd do is have them integrate more EU stuff into nu-canon. This course of action would be misguided.

George giving Filoni basically free rein on that show was the first nail in the coffin, and the Disney takeover the last. Just like we the The Zombie Simpsons still on TV, now we have Zombie Star Wars, with (((Disney))) using their black magic to keep the corpse shambling on.

If I encounter someone who says they like the 2008 CGI series, or worse yet, that they prefer it over the Genndy one, I just stop listening to them.

I've said this before, but I think it would be cool if at the end of episode 3, the Jedi seem to have won. Everyone is celebrating, Palpatine is locked up. And then we cut to Anakin with a dour look on his face. He has gotten closer to Palpatine over the course of the trilogy, and become increasingly intrigued by the dark side. And we just end on Anakin visiting Palpatine in his cell.

This way the trilogy itself gets to work more as a self contained adventure story, that focuses on developing the good man Anakin was, rather than the evil man he became. It also means the twist isn't completely given away, so you can watch the films for the first time in chronological order, and not be spoiled on that.

Sure, if Lucas followed his own earlier movies, with Amidala fleeing with Leia and dying when she was very young and Vader "helped the Empire hunt and destroy the Jedi Knights" (instead of killing the majority of them in a single day and which could go well together with him searching for Amidala) it would make more sense.

But as the OP idea… Palpatine back? So you want Dark Empire made by Disney? No thanks, instead of floating gas cylinder jedi sacrificing himself to help kill Frank they would use some pink haired shemale help that Ray Gun girl kill the Emperor…

I would've preferred Zahn's version of the Clone Wars which was led by the evil Clone Masters and was decades long with it only ending with the rise of the Empire and there was plenty of time for technological and political change and for Anakin's knighting, maturity, corruption and a hamfisted apprentice instead of the meager 3 year event.

No, that would completely ruin the fact that The Prequels operate as a tragedy that mirrors the comedy (in a classical sense) of the Original Trilogy. Lucas knew what he was doing.

Rian Johnson is alpha as fuck. Let me explain why.

-He told JJ to go fuck himself and basically disregarded everything he tried to setup in the soft reboot

-He edits his own movies

-He shitposts on twitter and makes people mad all across the internet

-He made a good star wars movie in a mediocre at best franchise

-He isn't afraid of being disliked, in fact he knows something would be wrong if he wasn't since nothing of value is ever universally loved.

-He watched the prequels during preproduction and writing of The Last Jedi

-He opens his mouth only when he wants to unlike Daisy Ridley

-His movie has made people cry for almost 9 months now

-He has people talking about him every day crying their eyes out shouting insults

-He mentally fucked with Mark Hamill a la Stanley Kubrick

-He went to the same film school as George Lucas after reading his book

-He will tell everyone alive to fuck off if they don't like that he makes the movie he wants to make

-He killed Star Wars for normies because he didn't make the same damn flick they wanted over and over again

no, as i stated before, TLJ's score is guilty of everything TFA's score has as well. the dogfighting music plays while the falcon flies through a cave when no actual dogfighting is going on. more care was taken to weave it into the natural progression of the music, sure, but it still didn't fit with the scene.

Does anyone else go for months of time where they feel fine, and aren't thinking about what Disney has done, and then out of nowhere they're slapped in the face by modern Disney Wars fans and their antics?

I'm not going to pretend that my life isn't an empty one. I'm not someone special, I work an unrewarding job, I have no family, I have no friends. So I'm sure other people are doing just fine. But for me, Star Wars used to mean a lot to me. I really cared about it. I never thought it was perfect, but the messages that George was going for really resonated with me. The idea that no matter how far gone you are, you can still redeem yourself. The message that society can be, and often is, wrong. That beaurocracy corrupts. I loved the movies and a lot of the EU.

I don't hate what Disney has done just because they're Disney, I hate it because they've cheapened Star Wars and turned it into nothing more than a money making operation. All of the awful things people have accused George of doing, they have openly done.

The current Star Wars content no longer makes me feel good about life. It's full of mean and self-centered people, it's full of hateful and cynical propaganda, and it makes me really depressed. Star Wars, as silly as it may sound, used to be a force for good in the world. Now it's just schlock. The protagonists went from Rebels who were fighting an oversized Empire, to para-military forces defending an evil Empire and crushing any opposing force. When you actually look at what's going on with the "Resistance" and the "First Order" it's clearly a justification of government funded groups like the CIA who operate outside the control or influence of the public to crush enemies of the upper class and elites.

But what really makes me sad are the people lapping this shit up. Those who say that if you criticize the Sequels you're no different than those who criticized the Prequels. It is through this portion of the fanbase that Disney is granted legitimacy. We need an unanimous rejection of this subversive modern Lucasfilm which is sick she'll of its former shelf. Star Wars is currently being made by hateful people, and it tears me up inside.

Man, it's been so fucking hard seeing the effect this all's had on him. He was obviously wary of what they might do & tried to put some stopgaps in against those before he signed. Everyone, Rian especially, just fucking gladhanded & conned him the whole way. Those bits in that TLJ BTS doc where Rian's treating him like a fucking kid while telling him the title, and him breaking the fuck down while filming the react to his academy burning had me seething. He knew it was a mistake & told them all in every way he could constantly & was roundly ignored & manipulated into thinking HE was the one who was out of touch with it all.

When it inevitably went south like he'd been saying it would, they blatantly pressured him into largely shutting his mouth & falling in line, then dropped him like a bad fucking habit. Now it's like they're purposely refusing to do anything further with him beyond whatever tiny cameo they'll throw him in 9 for, while digging through all their outtakes for every bit of Carrie they can repurpose for a much more significant role with Leia. Refusing to even do a damn cartoon of Luke with him as a renowned voice actor.

That he'll likely die with neither him nor any of us getting anything remotely resembling what any of us wanted is so god damn infuriatingly retarded.

Don't have too many "far left" myself, but I did see that to a lesser degree with my left-leaning classmates. It's interesting, and a little disheartening, just how total the hivemind is. Who needs the Borg when you've got Facebook?

What does everyone think about those Galaxy of Adventures, one minute videos that came out yesterday? To me they're literally just nostalgic visuals completely devoid of any narrative.

Despite how cheap it is I think it's the best looking animated Star Wars show since 2003 Clone Wars. Stylized 2D animation has been the standard for Star Wars since 1978 so that's fine.

If they replaced Resistance with this on a bigger budget it could actually be entertaining.

All it is, is scenes from the movies. It's setting the stage for revionist history. I bet you they start changing the way Padme and Leia were protrayed to make them seem more stronk.

This series is the height of unoriginality.

I rewatched Attack of the Clones and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.What bothered me the most was actually Count Dooku and his motivation in the film. Everything he said to Obi-wan made sense, but obviously the movie ends with him actually working with Sheev. Why would he join with the very Sith whose apprentice killed his own and motivated him to leave? Especially when him seeing himself as a hero to stop the Sith controlled Republic as one of the fallen 20 (and an unwitting puppet) is more compelling than it being just a cover imo. I was wondering if you guys could give me an answer purely off the films to help with what I'm missing and the EU one since our wiki is still WiP.

technically we already had something similar to a cinematic universe in the form of multimedia projects and the EU. It's larger and more detailed than your typical cinematic universe and doesn't spoonfeed you as much as 2hour spin-off movies, but it does greatly enhance the galaxy and the characters. Just think of the books and comics as movie or tv show scripts and it's essentially the same thing. Except, the advantages of licensed media over live action are:

>no money wasted on excessive marketing and focus group reshoots

>cheaper than spin-off movies, easier risks. Execute ambitious ideas and nuanced worldbuilding with ease, resulting in invaluable authenticity and less forgettable stories, which brings more joy to the readers and gives the material long-lasting appeal, which in turn creates fan wikis and image boards like this years later.

>curated by george, creative freedom about as close as you can get to independent films (like the saga itself)

This isn't just about the EU either. Even though TCW technically belongs to the EU on paper, it was essentially a rebooted, television compatible micro version of clone wars-era EU material and it was created because George (also being a fan the dark horse republic comics) wanted to spend more time with the clone wars itself which the movies aren't really about. TCW is technically it's own cinematic universe as much as it is an EU multimedia project or a standalone add-on for the prequels. The expanded universe was an og soy-free MCU for star wars fans before cinematic universes were a thing

The answer is he didn't want to stop the "Sith controlled Republic," he wanted to eliminate all around corruption in the Republic. He supported the Sith takeover and formation of empire. While he may have supported some of Separatist ideas aligned with this ultimately they were disposable useful idiots and also represented a great deal of the corruption problem. The scene with Obi-Wan in AotC is just him trying to genuinely reel in Obi-Wan convincing him that the Sith control both sides so might as well join him. I think it's a dumb scene that muddies the waters of his motivation.

They CIS was a controlled opposition to militarize the republic and justify a coup. Dooku designed together with Sidious. Plus they made it composed by aliens to galvanize the human majority support to their rule. Sidious had the Galactic Empire as a result while Dooku envisioned an "Empire of Man", an openly racist humanocentric empire who relied on an army of dark side indoctrinated force sensitives with Anakin as their general. Only a few moments before his death it was they Dooku saw that Palpatine's plans were totally different.

So I'm guessing the only white male in this show is going to be the villain then? And they even made him an Imperial as well?

If he is good are they going to have a scene where he denounces the Empire? I can't imagine Disney wars ever portraying a proud Imperial in a good light, or even an ambiguous light.

The reason I'm making this thread is because he's the only interesting character they've shown so far.

There's been a lot of speculation over why The Emperor had such a penchant for large, expensive projects—the Death Stars, the Galaxy Gun, World Devastators, the Eclipse-class, Vader and the Executor, and so on. Canon suggests Sidious was preparing for the Vong incursion, while a few people have speculated that it's a side effect of drawing on the dark side of the Force. The Emperor had become addicted to drawing on dark energies, so the reasoning goes, and that thirst required him to concentrate destructive power into individual superweapons, so that he might revel in the anguish of billions being slaughtered at once. I'd like to offer another explanation: the nature of the Sith, and Sidious especially, inspires them to create weapons of a like mentality.

The Bane line of Sith, following the Rule of Two, called for the entirety of the Sith to be embodied in two individuals. Constantly increasing their strength by killing off the weak, the dark side power of the Sith becomes more and more concentrated with each generation, until after a thousand years, you're left with Darth Sidious, who was basically a walking Force nexus, one of the most powerful lords to have ever lived. In effect, the Bane line of Sith are superweapons. They are an immense amount of power concentrated into a small number of vessels, and that power was arrived at through a disproportionately high amount of investment. The superweapon mentality is therefore fundamental to the entire Rule of Two philosophy—you can't be a Bane line Sith without implicitly believing in the value of superweapons, it's integral to your psychology. I think it could be argued that this is the reason Sidious insisted on building these very expensive projects, even though they can be destroyed by a much less expensive force, and you could net a greater amount of destructive power by spending those resources on a large number of conventional weapons. I'm sure Mitth'raw'nuruodo would be able to pick this up from examining Sith architecture for a bit.

As annoying as the ponytail faggot can be, I'll still watch his videos on Invidious once in a blue moon, because he has access to toys that no one else does.

>Also if anything the banite philosophy is just the opposite of superweapons dick measuring. Stealth, cunning, manipulation, those were the tools of the banite Sith.

I can see where you're coming from, but are Banite Sith not the most stealthy, the most cunning, the most manipulative, etc.? Each one is supposed to be a Sith to surpass Metal Gear, each generation of more powerful than the last. Each Bane Sith is a high-investment, high-potency Force user, the result of investing a lot into a small number of darksiders as opposed to investing a little into a large number of them. That's similar to the superweapon mindset, no?

>The thing is that people in charge of EU wanted to create their own DS and leave their mark

Obviously, but that's the boring answer. Isn't coming up with autistically precise in-universe justifications more fun than just accepting that answer?

>And in-universe there was a lot of people pointing the waste of money in those expensive toys instead of churning SD and tie fighters.

Yeah, that's part of my point. Even though there's clearly visible waste in the superweapon strategy, Bane-line Sith have a psychological hangup that prevents them from seeing these downsides, because, for most of their lives, they've had the Rule of Two hammered into their brains.
