/sw/ - Star Wars

I do that all the time.

I know it's "kin-oh" but I always say "key-no".

If only this would seal the performance of all his future films.

>>17352

Nah, he just doesn't want to waste time standing up against the retards who made TLJ and the rest of the nuseries.

>>17212

She looks like an alien from rick and morty.

>>17265

Aw damn, transformers has robots in it, how lazy.

>Rian literally did nothing wrong in VIII.

This isn't /tv/ you know. Stop with this retarded shitposting.

These are reasons I enjoyed the vong, they were very tough and new and it took more than a few Jedi to defeat, they were a true threat to everyone and everything,that took all of the galaxy to defeat, and yes a lot of stuff got fucked up but that's the idea it was a massive war that encompasses the entire SW galaxy so yeah that's what happens during suchis an event, think Europe after the world wars, place was totally wrecked everywhere you looked because of the size and level of those wats

>Hell, I'm glad they got rid of the old EU as it means that I won't have to find out characters like Kyle, Guri, Ben Skywalker or Lusa were actually genderfluid/space muslim/gay/trannies all along.

My sentiments exactly Anon.

The mouse can shit allover their shiney new cannon while I'm comfy playing Dark Forces and occasionally joking around in Edge of the Empire.

Nothing. Disney isn't canon.

>implying traviss isn't one of the better eu authors

top notch meme

>>17274

She was good. It seems all the hate stems from that "3 million clones" incident and the infamous "unrecorded" dispute she had with some users on an SW forum over it that got her so much bad rep. If not for that, the meme wouldn't have existed. Its a shame since most just reject her works simply because of the name alone.

Sauce?

>>16793

More Twi'lek realdolls in the making, I suppose.

>>16826

>Sauce?

You don't want to know. The source isn't as good as the gifs and reaction images it spawned.

>>16868

There's more?

I think we can all agree that there's no one way to accept the EU, what matters is that it had something for everyone and we could all interpret it in anyway we wanted to, which was made it such a rich treasure trove of lore and fun for each community that liked exploring it before Disney came along and fucked it all up. A once large group of multiple schools of roleplaying and enjoyment shattered into a shitty and soulless two-sided Legends vs Canon debacle where no one has fun and the Disney side is constantly shitting on us no matter how we handled or viewed the expanded media.

>>16709

You summed it up perfectly. Lucas had nurtured a universe and community that rewarded imagination, creativity, and originality, Disney has done the opposite.

So who's going to hot glue a figure and post it on Twitter?

Don't buy it at full price, though, that's filthy.

>>16347

>and post it on Twitter

…and whoever does this, remember to tweet at the actress who played that feminist bot.

I wouldn't mind a body pillow of her to be honest.

>>16215

Is this the official /toy/ thread? If so, can we post pictures of our Toys R Us stores being unable to sell nu-SW merch even at a 60% discount?

>>16383

that giant fucking paragraph two up from the bottom could be entirely replaced with

>i wish i was a goyim who had a happy childhood with loving parents

it's rare to see the envy that plainly stated

>>16795

Judging from Papa Kasdan's presence at the writing, and how Jon's acting out so loudly, I would guess that Lawrence was distant and permissive parent. The kind that says "well, son, you can do whatever you like," but then obliviously arranges things so that he's sheltered in the big house or swanky apartment. No friends, no normality, just a house full of things and a father's ongoing grandeur. Move to the present, and it seems that Lawrence is trying to make up for lost time, but is again permissive even as his son confusedly dips his old work in sewage.

It's possible to pity Jon, to an extent. He never really got to grow up.

He's right tbh

>>16843

It doesn't sound like he has any real convictions toward anything. He lives in some kind of abstract realm and his fake nostalgia is painful to read about. He's clearly a sheltered kike loser with a thoroughly inauthentic and broken worldview and personality. The worst type of person to write Star Wars. He reeks of "reddit". There's nothing interesting you can really extract from him or his ideas, because he's a hollywood npc. A robot. An empty shell.

>>14621

Square was never that good at telling stories honestly. Its no surprise that their first FF movie bombed.

>>13534

>muh star wars is bad because it has to be muh good and evil

This is the fucking neo-marx rhetoric Disney is pushing though, they WANT it to be solidly black and solidly white. We can't have people rooting for the evil nazi Empire!!! No sir. We need strong African queen wymyn on the heroic noble feminist Resistance side. There can be no nuance!

The PROBLEM of Nu Wars is that it's aiming for a white-black moral narrative. That's a bad thing.

>>16188

While I agree that yes, the Empire is styled up to ebil white nationalists. But I think that the character assassination of Luke, and trying to make Kylo Ren sympathetic, while promoting the "light side/dark side dont mean anything" meme in Rebels and other media is trying to remove Lucas's intent. And you can make Good/Evil narratives compelling without making it infantile like Disney does. Darth Plagueis, Darth Bane, and Tarkin for example are complex and layered characters but they are still evil. Likewise, Kyle Katarn, Luke Skywalker, and Han Solo are also similar but good.

>>16188

The neo-marxists hate "black and white" narratives though. A marxist would claim that the Empire was not all that bad and would argue against classifying them as "evil". Stop with the post-modernism.

figured this might be the best place to post this

>be on discord server

>sw gets brought up because someone disliked TLJ

>other anon fires back with liking the movie

>i chime in with just saying it's a bad sw movie

>anon gets triggered by the phrase "bad sw movie" apparently and asks that i define what entails a sw movie

>do exactly that, throw in my .02 that TFA and TLJ are poor sw movies because of the way they meet the sw movie standard, i didn't even get to go in-depth

>get told to stop because "my explanation was dumb"

>tell anon to fuck off

>anon asks to drop it

why is it that anytime i try to debate someone on why the disney movies are good/bad, they can never properly debate and instead try to call it quits while they're ahead? like holy shit, they open up this can of worms themselves and then can't handle the pressure of being told a different opinion.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it: RLM was never good, and E;R is one trick weeb, who's only good 'review' was GET;OUT - now they are all sucking Disney cock. Fuck 'em.

>>16754

E;R sucked Disney cock?

>>16754

>talking shit on E;R

Get out of here, Doug.

>>16755

>they

I think he means RLM.

>>16753

Hadn't heard of him. I will give him a watch.

>>16754

>e;r sucks disney cock

this is just wrong on all platforms

>THE REASON SOLO FAILED WAS BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH FORCED DIVERSITY AND BECAUSE A MOVIE ABOUT HAN SOLO'S MAIN CHARACTER IS HAN SOLO

>NOT BECAUSE OF THE SHITTY WRITING

>NOT BECAUSE OF THE SHITTY ACTING

>NOT BECAUSE OF THE ANNOYING CHARACTERS

>NOT BECAUSE OF THE CHARACTER ASSASSINATION OF HAN

>NOPE IT WAS BECAUSE THERE WEREN'T ENOUGH BLACK TRANS WYMIN IN IT

These people are fucking insane. And no I don't mean that in a 'these people are weird' sort of way. I mean they act like they have a severe mental illness.

>>16361

>How long until Kennedy herself agrees and publicly blames Solo's failure on the fact that it had a male lead, and SW shouldn't focus on men, period?

If I had to guess, sometime within the next 2 weeks. Assuming of course she hasn't already said that and I missed it.

>>16392

Wow you sound like a real bigot! :^/

what's ironic is that polysoy wrote an article about why solo failed, and it had nothing to do with sexism, it was all about how the movie was predictable shit that gave us nothing new.

fucking polygon has more sense than these niggers.

>>16414

Even Salon managed to do the same. What a shock.

1. Meh-Disney, though in consistent decline since around the time of The Last Jedi. I liked some of the comics and novels that came out in the early days before and around The Farce Awakens' debut, but it's been rolling downhill faster and faster ever since "Thrawn" came out. I'm still looking forward to "Alliances," however.

2. Pro-EU overall. I vastly prefer the pre-film EU to the post-film EU, though, and tended to ignore it. Old Republic eras were always my favorite.

3. Pro-prequel. I've always resented the artificially inflated and insincere mandatory nerd cred hate they got. I feel like they've aged better.

4. Pro-Lucas on the whole. Dude's an autistic savant, but he isn't the accidental billionaire manchild retard that his haters portray him to be either.

5. I was pro-Filoni before Disney. He's has started to disappoint me more and more lately with what he did and did not do in Rebels. I am not looking forward to his new cartoon set in the time between episodes VI and VII.

>>16293

Old republic era stories were always the most popular, with most anti-prequel fags always saying they hated the films but loved the comics and media that spun off it.

>5. I was pro-Filoni before Disney. He's has started to disappoint me more and more lately with what he did and did not do in Rebels. I am not looking forward to his new cartoon set in the time between episodes VI and VII.

Speaking of, did Filoni have some kind of wolf fetish? Is he a fucking wolfaboo now? Only sign of it to ever show up was with Wolfpack Squad in CWA, but Rebels really went all out with the wolf faggotry and imagery to the point where they're not the most important creatures in the universe and the guardians of time and space, and Kyle Kanen is now a fucking wolf.

>>16322

>did Filoni have some kind of wolf fetish?

Glad you brought that up. I'm actually a massive clonetrooper fag, but if there's something I hate then it's Plo koons retarded wolf batallion. I don't even hate TCW that much, but bradley dee baker and all the new clone designs created for that show were awful.

>>16322

>did Filoni have some kind of wolf fetish?

I think that was pretty obvious when he made the center of the universe be filled with wolf imagery and how much focus he put on Loth wolves.

>>16026

What I like to do is read in eras or chunks and have a somewhat systematic approach to it. So for example if I wanted to get into /Bane/, I'd probably want to have the full history of the sith era behind me (tales of the jedi comics, kotor etc) for max vibes. This way I also have a clear idea of where I'm going so I don't get bored or lost. I typically pirate the ebooks, put them on a tablet and make a logical reading list for myself. http://www.starwarstimeline.net/ has been pretty useful for this sort of thing. I kind of use it as reference, I don't take it literally (like splitting book into chapers) but it is useful to see if you may have missed something. (Like an obscure short story etc). One thing I have also noticed, is that generally speaking, the books might reference the comics, but not the otherway around. I'm not sure if this is a prequel-era thing or what.

Splinter of the Mind's Eye is fairly standalone I think? Not sure. I have to read it too at somepoint (only got interested in EU stuff late 2016). I heard the Brian Daley Han Solo novels from that time period feel a lot more modern.

>>16130

I think Splinter of the mind's I had like two sequels didn't it? Or at least two other novels that tied into it a bit
