>L337

Holy fuck I can't even express how stupid that is.

>>14293

I know, it's just……

>>14163

Inb4 native population of an all-sea planet can't understand the idea of seperate peoples at all, and somebody else is reduced to tears by their childlike, closer-to-god innocence.

>>14288

Really? Fucking really? Holy shit.

*searches* It's fucking true and all. Actually true.

And no, I'm not turning off my ad blocker you cunts. Only sites that bring me good news get that.

(not really)

>>14326

It's just so stupid that they're bringing in an old meme as a star wars character who is "fighting for droids' rights" even tho that was in the EU and done by C-3PO so waht's the point in making the EU noon-canon if you're going to fucking bring it back little by little.

>>14331

>waht's the point in making the EU noon-canon if you're going to fucking bring it back little by little

To make disneycucks jizz themselves every time a reference validates their legends knowledge, while still buying shit again. You've seen how they react when a legends character gets revealed in a disney product, we've all seen their pathetic "OH YES! THANK YOU DISNEY FOR BRINGING THIS BACK" drivel. The amount of positive 'fan' opinion generated from that is one of the only things holding nu-wars together.

>>14332

this, everyone generally gave thrawn a pass and glanced over the fact that they turned him into a mustache twirler because tim zahn was brought back to work on his integration into jew canon.

watch, next thing you know they'll bring back kevin anderson to do work on mara jade. and the doc aphra comic apparently has been re-using EU bits in its own way.

>>14288

>there's a droid named L337 (literally Leet)

Not just that, "she" is the First Female Droid and "she" fights for the droids rights.

7331 is SASSY and FUNNY and INDEPEDENT.

Incidentally, why do they insist on independence? How does one compellingly show ‘independence’ in a drama? By not relying on or needing other cast members?

>>14347

>why do they insist on independence?

Because depending on each other is the basis for healthy relationships and family-building.

>How does one compellingly show ‘independence’ in a drama?

By doing things alone, or treating the rest of the cast as accessories, and never being in a true bond with somebody. See Rey's interactions with the rest of the protagonists, or lack thereof.

>>14160

>Piss off everyone.

but the question is, why? Why would they do this? I have many theories myself as to why Disney, JJ, or Kennedy would actively want to kill Star Wars but aside from "artistic pride/being post modern for the sake of being post modern/this is what you get Lucas", I can't think of any reason why they would actively want to kill this franchise. The only sensible thing I can think of that isn't just out right insane which I think some of them are so I could buy that, is that this was done as a type of house cleaning. Since Star Wars exist, it blocked several other potential future franchises, so this is the long term game plan of finally shutting it down so they could make a new/strength marvel franchise profits.

>>14437

The only reason is ego and the hope that changing something so greatly as to inspire a cultural revolution will get them immortalized. Same thing that happened with Ghostbusters. The media industry and Hollywood are in a kind of cultural echo chamber where the current hot topic is politics and societal bullshit, where its important to sacrifice art and quality for the sake of ideologies and personal vendettas.

>>14437

>but the question is, why? Why would they do this?

Ultimately it’s because they dislike us. The goal is to be vindictive.

>>14440

Ah, typical aristocrat mentality.

>>14439

The saddest part no one was particularly ever against their "ideologies", at least, the biggest one they are trying to push. So they have to go so far to manufacture their own enemy.

>>14452

That's just it, though. They need to be opposed, to feel like the edgy rebels, even when they're both legally and culturally dominant, on both a strategic and a psychological level. Strategically, this type of person will never declare victory over the enemies of "racism" or "inequality" because that would make their job irrelevant. Walls only make you feel safe if there's something on the other side, trying to get in. By the same token, you only "need" a group fighting for equality if there exists inequality; giving them more power and control is only justified in the eyes of the public if that power is necessary to correct some perceived wrong. Declaring victory means these people will lose their jobs and all of their influence, so they will never do it.

Psychologically, they're just incapable of admitting victory, because they're in love with their own image. Everyone likes a good underdog story, and portraying oneself as the underdog makes the following victory all the sweeter, and seem much more just. Portraying one's situation as desperate also makes it that much easier to justify sadistic and ruthless acts as necessary for survival and/or victory.

>>14160

>so I can see Rey either going full lesbo for that new female lead the media's been talking about or her being single but having an Anakin clone force baby so as to maintain her single status, because the MSM creams its pants over single mothers,

this reminds me, i saw some soylets the other week going on about how apparently women can reproduced asexually by ingesting bone marrow or some shit.

>>14615

I actually saw something similar sometime ago. Not sure when this shit started going around.

>>14106

Part of me hopes this isn't true so that the actual end result will be far worse than what I'm reading.

>>14615

Is that what they call nigger semen now?

What has even happened plot wise for the last two movies? What climax is it even working towards exactly?

>>16997

Apparently just focusing on setting up Rey as the next chosen one or something and "let's defeat the First Order!". That's about it.

These people are narcissistic personalities. Narcissists don't follow logic or profit, they care only about what benefits their emotional desires now, they crave social outlets, Hollywood is a fucking megaton-sized social outlet- the mecca of narcs, and star wars reaches an audience of colossal proportions. You wonder why the paradox of Trends and Counterculture go hand-in-hand with the typical hipster SJW-type? Because they are both social outlets, they are sources of attention- the narc's ultimate drug.

To the SJW-narcs, Disney and Star Wars are potential gardens for growing the drug of attention and validation of their egos. The problem is that star wars demands care, love, and generosity. Narcs have no space in their world for any of this, Love to them is meaningless, Care is an abstract thing, Generosity is a tool to rope people into fear, obligations and guilt. There's no rationality, it's bullshit, it's lies, they should be removed from their jobs.

But the biggest problem with Narcs, is not just them, it's their enablers- it doesn't matter if it's an abused soyboy-fucktoy, their gossip-magazine/website cronies, or their sexually-bribed boss, enablers allow narcs to flourish. Disney is enabling these people, until someone starts handing out pink slips by the basket, the company will suffer. The depressives may think that Disney is too big to fail, but the titanic weight of star wars, its fickle merchandising, and the narcs in charge could crush Disney. Money only matters to the narc when it goes right into their pockets, just because their employer's making money doesn't mean they care, it's all about them.

If they can't have it, nobody will, If they want to crash this train, they will ram it full speed ahead and explode into a fireball of pain and suffering. Granted, doing that to something like star wars would be professional and social suicide- I seriously feel like if it is found out that someone is deliberately trying to kill star wars, the rage against them will be a few notches short of the hate that everyone's favorite dictators recieve.

Besides, I've been having premonitions that someone huge and famous will turn into a gigantic lolcow sometime. something that I am fascinated to find out who it will be.

>>14336

<she is the first female droid in the franchise?

nope

<she is the first female droid within (Disney's?) the starwars timeline?

nope

>she is the first "Female" (feminist) droid?

Ah, there we go. I think…

>>16998

>setting up

They already did (didn't do (did (didn't do (did (didn't do (did (didn't do))))))) that though?

>>17005

Wasn't there one in 3PO's droid rebellion? It was probably parody but I think it was there

>>14160

I could see them making Rey pregnant as she fights Kylo and then the ending is showing her training her child a few years later. It would be pozzed to shit and appease the cat ladies if they made him mystery meat so they could post clickbait shit on who might be the father.

>>14161

>>14171

Kylo losing his shit was at least a character. No one else has one. He could have been developed and grown through the trilogy but they didn't do it.

>>17004

Hollywood has always been full of ego fueled people. It's literally their dream location in every way possible. Nothing has changed in that avenue.

What has changed is that movies now have zero value. They're too easy to pirate and too many alternatives. Rage baiting is the only hope they have of holding people's attentions so they use it over and over.

>>14138

Yeah this has been bothering me. A demilitarized Empire showing up at the last minute with a secret army they have been amassing and btfo of the First Order would be probably the best outcome. The Republican drones would hail their salvation until the Empire refused to go and said that all of the Galaxy was under their protection as the war on their doorstep was simply unbearable.

>>14106

>and Leia

There has to be a way to convince them they need to hire a sheboon like that one from the Ghostbusters reboot to fill the role.

No matter what they try this is still going to be the messiest and most inconsistent trilogy of movies ever made. And the worst.

>>19464

this, it will be dissected for years to come and ultimately seen as inferior. there's a new generation of fans that are vehemently anti-disney and pro-prequel, while there are new fans that are the opposite.

>>19453

I think this is the best approach. Trying to convince Disney to do even worse. Maximize the cringe to the point where no one will want to pay to see their shit and will eventually be forced to sell the property or lock it away to be untouched for generations, thus allowing fan material and tabletop to prosper.

>>19521

This. Its why Im excited for "THE CONSEQUENCES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!!!" threats.

Have Hodo or whatever her name is tell Poe off for mansplanning.

Have Rey beat the bad guy by thinking (Who is…? Uhhh…?)

Have Obi Wan get cloned and Ewan McGregor come back and none stop reference how baaad the prequels were despite ROTS being unironically one of the best SW films.

Have Chewie die on a planet and his nephew, who is a jedi, become the new co pilot to Rey.

Have young Han Solo appear.

Reveal the Whills as the Vong!

Have the Death Troopers show up with Myaab Myaab or whatever that white goo shit was called.

Unmask a Jawa!

Tuskens are a people of peace!

Did someone say Clones of Vader, Yoda AND Recasting Leia with Merryl Streep?

Go nuts

>>19525

Funny thing is Phasma could have been awesome.

Could have. The idea that she didn't 'kick butt and take names silly boys' but was a manipulator and strategist made me happy.

Too bad.

BUT

Let's reveal her to be a TRUE mandalorian, that's right! She's ACTUALLY the daughter of Sabine and Ezra

>>19529

I know, I'm saying I would have found her a lot more interesting if she did.

Agreed, Legacy was fun. It was stupid, but it was fun.

>>19526

>Funny thing is Phasma could have been awesome.

>Could have.

The minute you say, “we’re going to have a woman in andogynous armor” is the minute the character becomes useless. Comparatively she’s better than say Holdo or Rose because she isn’t a raging feminist bitch.

>>19532

This essentially. Her whole character felt like it was just created to show how progressive Disney is by not giving her armor boob space like some femtroopers in the comics. I remember when she was first revealed idiots on twitter started using her as a martyr to show why sexy armors in video games and anime were sexist and oppressive. Shit was followed by a bunch of fanart mocking sexy or even non-revealing feminine armors, in the same vain as Andrew Dobson's "Stop drawing sexist crap!"

>>19526

I did not and do not intend to read the book about her, but she may have done something interesting besides commit treason against the First Order to save her own skin going by a plot summary I did read. 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.

>>19539

I'll read it 'cause I like electric gun guy, I'll write a review when I'm done.

>>19533

>Her whole character felt like it was just created to show how progressive Disney is by not giving her armor boob space like some femtroopers in the comics.

Phasma only exists because of KK. She saw a concept art during TFA pre-production and said "I want that character in the movie. Make it female". It was just a random concept art, 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?).

Phasma was advertised as the next Bobba Fett but just like Disney don't understand Star Wars' success, 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 remember when she was first revealed idiots on twitter started using her as a martyr to show why sexy armors in video games and anime were sexist and oppressive

I had a screencap from a Faceberg post on the official Star Wars page where a user was complaining about the lack of difference in stormtrooper armor design for male and female in EA Battlefront and one of the SW admins answered something like "wew sexism much?" I think I posted it here once, but I've lost the screenshot since

>>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
