>boomer is cuckchan

found the ledditor trying to fit in. we don't want you here, fuck off back to your hugbox.

>>19238

I think there's some confusion about what exactly is going on. There is a relatively new "boomer" mutation of the "brainlet" meme This is equally as cancerous as its ancestors, and both are cuckchan memes, so I can understand why that poster would think you're retarded. Perhaps you're not aware that the term is being used in an absolutely shit meme, or he isn't aware the term is older and not necessarily related to an absolutely shit meme.

What's mystical about it, it was obvious it was something you inherited and not everyone had it and it made sense they could measure it somehow if they were supposed to get all these force sensitive kids into training in a brighter, less dark age that is the OT.

You idiots realize you're no better? Do you know where the fuck you are?

>>19635

Hey, I wasn't knocking weebs- just acknowledging that they'll always be here, and in greater numbers in the future.

Some actual suggestions:

-Some sources have the Death Star 2 so large, it's superlaser is the size of the entire Death Star 1, which is pretty retarded, both in terms of completely needless extra power and crew requirements, and of how they'd built around 80% of it so quickly. It should be the same size as the first Death Star, if not a bit smaller. And the smackdown on his officers the Emperor had to lay to even get another one built would make an interesting story.*

-The hologram of Endor and Death Star 2 is representative, not to scale!

*-We're adding our own stories to the Seperatist Canon, right? And tagging them as such on big sites like Fanfic.net? The butthurt / blanket bans it would cause would be hilarious.

>>19566

Do you remember the subject of the thread you posted it in?

>>19539

>JJ Abrams certainly didn't have any use for her besides striking non-gendered poses in marketing material and anything that could have come out of her character was subverted away by Rian Johnson's gonzo kino brilliant retardation.

she was literally memed as the new boba fett in tfa, and rian johnson turned her into kenny from south park. this is not fake, look it up. rian realized what a shit character she was and decided to make her exactly what she is, a big joke.

>>19566

>to my knowledge there's still no explanation for her shiny armor (some fans have claimed that her armor is blasterproof but then why would she be the only person to wear it and not give the tech to every trooper?).

Even assuming it's some special prototype that hasn't entered mass production, it's still a bad story choice because it breaks up the uniformity of stormtroopers. Having them all in the same armor dehumanizes them, making them into implacable symbols of the Empire's might rather than people you can intimidate or bargain with. If the First Order starts giving troopers their own personal custom armor, even high-ranking ones, it makes them into individuals again, which ruins the effect.

>>19566

>It was just a random concept art, to my knowledge there's still no explanation for her shiny armor

It was made out of the hull of one of Palpatine's space yachts. Its only value is being symbolic of the New Order that the First Order is supposed to worship. Kind of like if a neo-nazi made a messenger bag out of Erwin Rommel's tattered old uniform.

>they don't understand why Bobba Fett is iconic either. Fett is liked by the fans because he was cool and badass, not because George shoved the character in every scene and every merch possible.

I would not agree with that exactly. George by his own admission didn't get why Fett was so popular with the fans either but he really didn't give them much of a reason. Like what was supposed to happen for Phasma, it was basically the armor and posing. He had a few lines in ESB and got his shit kicked in easily by Luke in RotJ. It was all EU and side-story material that turned Fett into a Dark Horse superstar with Lucas' decision to just run with it because why not? Sells more toys.

Lucasfilm's mistake with Phasma has more been trying to tell us how cool she is and overbearingly meme her as Rule 63 Bob Fett while not only doing nothing to justify that notion but offering plenty that visually contradicts it. Fett's relative weakness in the movies could be attributed to him going up against a Jedi while he's still the only bounty hunter tough enough to prosecute a vendetta with Han Solo. Phasma is somebody we're just told is a badass with a past of high accomplishments but we only ever get to see her being punked and clowned on. The sequel era comic she was in portrayed her as a coward and a scoundrel. The story group's left hand and right hand don't know what they're doing and neither can find their asshole.

>>19600

the only phasma content that's done anything remotely good for her was the level in lego sw tfa

>>19433

Seeing as he forgot to take his namefag off from /liberty/ I imagine so.

>>19418

This.

>>19400

>he thinks America is going to exist in a century

That's cute.

>>19410

>who are these jokes for?

Themselves. It's funny to them and if you don't laugh then you must be too stupid to understand their wit and insight.

>>19428

(You)

>>19429

This essentially. I just hope it happens in 100 years so I or anyone I know (that I don't hate) don't have to be around for it.

>>19083

He'd have brought balance to the force?

>>19083

Obi-Wan was only defeated because he willingly sacrificed himself.

the Emperor was defeated because he was busy attacking Luke with force lightning and got blind-sided.

I have a hard time believing that Anakin would've defeated both of them as easily as that ending shows, especially given his relative inexperience at the time.

>>19114

Obi-Wan could not defeat Vader. His last-minute ascension wasn't indicative of martial prowess or power. At the end of the fight on Mustafar Obi-Wan defeats Anakin because Anakins judgement had been clouded by betrayal, loss and a host of other emotions. He was a legendary warrior even then; It is entirely possible that Anakin could have defeated Obi-Wan there, being that he was empowered by the dark side. It didn't happen that way, mind you, but to act as if it couldn't have been any different is silly. The Emperor is a different story, being that he was a wise and powerful monster of a man who demonstrated his capabilities on several occasions. A direct confrontation with him might be difficult or impossible to win. Treachery is how he died, that's how he died in that video and that's likely how he'd be killed any other way too. His master also died that way and so did his apprentice. Seems like that's just how it goes for Sith lords.

>>19356

you make good points on Obi-Wan, and he could not have plausibly defeated Vader in IV. however, he was strong enough to hold his own for awhile.

as for the Emperor, he could be killed by treachery, but not that easily. I think he would sense an attack coming and avoid/block it. not saying he's invincible, but the way that video just brushes him aside is not believable.

>>19331

But anon I don't have friends to tabletop with anymore and I'm too primitive to know how to do tabletop online

>>19336

Even when you get to bring friends it's hard to get the flight plan approved. Roleplaying games are a big hassle, for everyone.

>>19349

How?

>>19250

>>Luke creates a problem

>>Luke doesn't solve the problem he created

>>The audience is supposed to think Luke is wise

>>19255

hell yeah brother

>being a foreigner

God damn why are you so mad?

>anchoring this on topic thread because you are all sad sacks who can't deal with different opinions

>>19462

You seem more upset honestly considering you keep making this same exact /tv/-tier thread every time you show up. And the only one who ever bumps it is you, so that's probably why it got anchored, you faggot.

One rule for thee, but not for me.

>>13914

Hmm. Maybe it's time for an OSS version of rotten tomatoes?

So. Was this the film that made the downward spiral terminal?

>>19067

From a plot standpoint, TFA fucked everything with JJ’s stupid fucking idea to reset everything so the OT never happened. From a lore standpoint, throwing out the EU and replacing it with Wendig and the purple armpit tumblrinas was the terminal mistake, which again is JJ’s fault because that rat nosed kike wanted to create his own universe.

It could have been salvaged by a canny hand at the helm, but Rian was the absolute worst person to give things to. He didn’t just make it worse, he put it to a whole new level of bad where instead of a lame series which people disliked it became an existential crisis for Star Wars which might skunk the whole brand and perhaps even Disney. Kennedy and Lucasfilm then tossed gasoline on the fire by declaring they want to kill white males and drive them out, and having their press cocksuckers shitting out articles about how evil the fanbase is.

>>13903

if the reviews were counted completely fairly, it would probably be under 10%.

Wow, thanks. You're a good guy.

>>18824

It's more of a measure of how easy it is to access the Force without rigorous education and exercise. This directly relates to how plausible it is for somebody to be trained in a reasonable amount of time with available resources and manpower to become something like a Jedi.

>>18856

In the old canon the Jedi had the agricultural and medical corps for padawan who just couldn't hack it as a wizard monk. It's true that everyone could access or be affected by the Force, but it's only reasonable to attempt it with people for whom it wouldn't be inordinately long and hard to work with and the midichlorian count is just one factor they consider when screening potentials. It's also a matter of public safety as somebody with Qui-gon or Yoda levels of Force affinity could become a danger if not taught how to use that power and inculcated with an ethical system about its use. On their own they might not learn to throw lighting or crush skeletons but they could have precognitive abilities they never properly understood to cheat at gambling or apply a little bit of Force alacrity and speed to a successful mugging career.

>>18905

is it that surprising that someone would be reasonable in a discussion?

I'm still unsure about this. I wouldn't want fans collectively revising material, since the artist(s) should have complete control. voting existing works in and out of canon could work, but then there's the danger that the fandom could become cancerous enough to vote irresponsibly.

maybe you could have three tiers: creator canon, fanon with significant support, then everything else. that would build off the current two-tiered system of canon/legends.

>>18856

I like this view of the force and Yoda. I wish George had stuck with it.

>>18703

>the testimony of the creator

George has done enough bad shit with his franchise that many people, even those who don't think the Empire was the good side, don't take him seriously or give his ideas credit anymore, and I honestly can't blame them.

>>18906

Nothing will stop that. Somebody will always make Star Wars no matter what, like Terminator or Aliens or Predator or Transformers.

>>18909

The best we can hope for is that at least the films go into a long hibernation.

I hope Rian Johnson gets full control

Because star wars does not run on soy

>>18602

it's okay, there are new schisms within the fanbase that A) like all three trilogies B) like everything pre-disney and some disney elements and C) like everything pre-disney and none of the disney sw

what we need to do is shitpost across fan sites to make it seem like group C is growing more and more each day to the point that it drowns out the soyboys and boomers
