/sw/ - Star Wars

>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?

Every time I see an ad or some fucker online that reminds me. And that's almost every fucking day. Seeing faggots upon faggots praising TLJ as the greatest cinematic achievement ever or praising Abrams as the man who will save Star Wars.

I feel your pain too anon. I refused to even acknowledge Star Wars existing for the last few years outside of shitting on Disney and talking here, it was too painful to watch them fuck with it. Still is some days, since they're doing the usual tactic of doubling down on defending TLJ until it's the hill they die on. Every time they do this to any series, I have to rewatch the original to remember why I ever liked it to begin with, so maybe you should return to where you started with Star Wars.

I thought about Lucas keeping Star Wars at times, but I keep remembering the interviews Lucas has given over the last few years, what he did with the release of Red Tails, and I realize it would've gone down a similar path if he kept it. All modern media is creatively sterile, on top of being politicized. The best you can hope for is IX failing and Disney quietly sweeping Star Wars under the rug for a bit until they reboot the OT, since they'll never completely leave it alone.

As for Star Wars itself, you can either work to preserve the Lucas era with Baobab, make individual efforts by collecting physical copies, contributing to 200ABY, or even making your own version of Star Wars. It had to die at some point, everything does, but you can create something out of it to replace what you lost. It's better than sitting there every day watching NPCs suck alien titty milk from their overlords.

>TFA

TFA was garbage that broke Star-Wars completely and the general audience became aware of this fact a little bit after release (normal people noticed it right away). If you recall TFA’s defenders used to throw around the argument that the first film was meant to be a safe “omage” to establish the nu-trilogy and the next film TLJ would answer questions and ultimately redeem TFA. Disgusting, most of them have to be paid shills or retarded. Perhaps both since the defenders seem want “reylo” to happen.

<praising Soy-wars

Well disney/abrams have nowhere to go with soy wars given the events of the last 2 movies. They decided to pick abrams to finish the trilogy, which is a bad considering that abrams is incapable of creating anything new. He is only capable of poorly ripping off the original movies, ruining the established canon, and story. Lastly abrams is not a closer, as a result his “mystery boxes” will inevitably make the last movie degenerate by its “conclusion” into a resolution-less mess that no one will like

(in b4 they are on earth somehow).On top of all this Disney needs to pander/steal and rip off more scenes and elements from the OT/PT because of the nu-trilogy’s horrible story/plot, horrible characters no one likes, lack of compelling villains, and the general dislike of TLJ. Therefore the last film will dump as many elements into creating another putrid plot and cannon killing mess that will only highlight abram’s ineptitude as a director & of course highlight the lack of talent in the diversity hire soy wars story group.

I expect to see Luke back from the dead, Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, Darth Maul, General Grievous, some nu- eu stronk womyn characters, Obi-wan, Grand Moff Tarkin (CGI), Yoda, real Lando, Pando, Soylo, Jyn Orso, Snoke, the feminist robot from soylo, nu-B wings, some mangled real-EU content, time travel, a 4th Death-Star, forest planet, Ewoks, & the side profiles of black women’s heads during scene transitions (as seen in all other Disney films).

Personally I cannot wait for its release, I will not see the movie, but I will consume the resulting salt piles from pissed off shills and media outlets.

Every time I discussed TFA with somebody they always retreated to the same argument, as if they had been programmed or something: "TFA was exactly what it needed to be. It played it safe. It was a soft reboot that reintroduced people to Star Wars." I could explain to them in detail why the movie was horrible but they would just repeat some variation of those statements until the conversation ended. It was like the NPC meme came to life right in front of me.

Also it's "homage", not "omage"

I watched the movies a lot when I was growing up. Luke's character served as a very powerful role model for my younger self - he had a lot of very positive traits that even as a kid I always sought to replicate. I don't really care so much specifically that Disney ruined the character of Luke (I mean they killed virtually everything else good about SW too), but what really gets me is seeing Mark struggle with what's happened to his character and the franchise. Before TLJ he hadn't played Luke on-screen for something like thirty years, but from the comments and interviews he's given, he had obviously still been thinking deeply about the character and what happened to him after the events of RotJ. It also very clearly disturbs him the way Disney is handling everything. It's sad to me that even though he finally got a chance to reprise his role as Luke Skywalker after all this time, it's being manufactured by politically-correct committees in the employ of a soulless multinational conglomerate that has no respect for what came before. I hope he knows that the true fans that love the original trilogy still appreciate both the films and his contribution to them, and that Disney hasn't ruined either Luke or Star Wars for us.
