>While we know he's shot at least half of the movie and taken charge of pretty extensive reshoots, it's never been revealed quite how much work he's done on the movie. Well, in the video below, it's said that Howard has reshot "nearly all" of the spinoff which has led to the budget almost doubling. That means we can probably forget about seeing any of Lord and Miller's work in the final cut next year.

this doesn't surprise me in the least bit. at least 40% of rogue one had reshoots, and iirc far more draft rewrites than what normally goes down for movies. it seems kuntleen kennedy really has a vision for star wars that has beta males and uggo women taking the lead, and if you don't stick to it you get fucked over.

at this point it's common sense. it'll definitely still be a box office success, but it won't top 1 billion. i don't think the last jedi will even hit 1 billion to be honest.

Kennedy and her queefing cronies really do seem to be forcing any creative output with big profit forecasts down a narrow tube and micromanaging everything to hell. The comics and novels don't feel so obviously nitpicked but I'll wager that's because top brass don't expect normalfags to every consume them or include them in their private head canons mentally shunting them somewhere most casuals shelf the prequel trilogy.
If it's a movie, a video game, or a cartoon, though, Cuckquean and her orbiters already have a laundry list of thematic agenda items to tick off and bind the hands of their creatives (if they aren't already on board with said agenda). Disney won't do anything about it until it's too late for the same reason they haven't done anything to protect the Marvel brand. They seem to believe it's enough to just put them on the money farm, slash the budget to estimated competitor averages, and expect brand loyalty to do the legwork. They're like a more tortuously slow film industry relative of Electronic Arts.

one of the original plans for 1313 post sale was for visceral to pick it up.
lucasarts had made a battlefront 3 based off that fps first strike/assault and it was basically just sitting around ready to go.
disney truly fucked themselves over by killing off lucasarts before those two were released.

As long as the /tv/ BO is a massive cuck that allows waifuposting (multiple threads, mind you, one or two for each waifu), e-celeb threads, anime, etc., /tv/ is not likely to get any better - quite the contrary.
/film/ is the place to go if you want to discuss non-SW films, there are a few decent threads to discuss TV shows on /tv/ though, and the webm threads tend to be half decent.
While I agree with >>2990, I think we have more in common with /v/ tbh
▶ No.3956
>>2985
Part of the reason both boards are so shit is due to their mediums really dying in the last few years. /v/ is able to keep on going because there's still enough new games coming out to stay invested, while /co/ and /tv/ have next to nothing. /co/ is on topic, but it's an on topic funeral discussion in most threads. /tv/ is mostly shitposting at this point, but will briefly go back on topic when they rally to hate on Hollywood's latest turd. You can even see it in Star Wars communities. A lot of them have either bent the knee and accepted the mouse to get new stuff or have walked away entirely to spare themselves of grief.

I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. The moderation over on /b/ is getting worse as well, though with the amount of spam & pedo shit they get there, they might get rid of some of the cancer.
This could just be me getting more and more jaded and fed up with this chan, but it seems like the overall quality has been dropping the last year or so. This (/sw/) is one of the best boards left IMHO; decent quality, little to no shitposting/spam and a very laid back BO. I just hope the trolls/Disney shills will stick to /tv/, since that board is bigger, and we'll be spared.

I hate to admit it but you have a point. And its not like Marvel was ever that great. The tumblrisms just made it unberable. Still, outside of the Dr. Strange film, I'm surprised the Marvel movies are completely devoid of politics, outside of that one ad Joss Whedon did for the 2016 election where he had the Avengers actors do a voting PSA.

What do you mean? I'm sure you could make parallels between aspects of the film and politics but I don't recall anything explicit. A quick search only turned up some Guardian cuck kvetching about whitewashing.
▶ No.6649>>6650 >>7233

If the politics are of the same note, I find it amusing that """journalists""" are whining about the Ancient One being whitewashed when the casting was done as a favor for women. SJWs are never satisfied.
Either that or it had something to do with the Chinks again. Some coward at Marvel Studios worried that audiences in the PRC would be offended by a wise old mountain sage stereotype just like they butchered the Mandarin in Iron Man 3 over fears looking racist or alienating the Chinese market.

I hope China becomes so strict about political ideals being put into movies made for them that they threaten Hollywood with banning their movies, seeing it as some kind of attempt to brainwash chinks.

When? Pretty much throughout the entire time since the NSDAP won its plurality to the the outbreak of the war in Europe. Seriously, it's not some kind of rare scrap of historical trivia. Germany was the 2nd biggest market for Hollywood movies outside of the USA at the time. Much like with China today, the industry practiced pervasive self-censorship to comply with the content regulations, state-sponsored cultural standards, and political grievances of Nat-Soc Germany. The German consul in Los Angeles practically enjoyed a sole and sufficiently potent veto over anything coming out of Hollywood intended for export to Germany. Jewish actors and production staff were blackballed. Scripts and scenes were altered if they were deemed too forcefully anti-authoritarian or rebellious in mood and theme. German standards and practices governing sexuality and violence outranked American ones because studios wanted a second windfall profit margin from German theaters. Movies were cancelled if they criticized German leadership or actions present or past for fear it would lead to whole studios being blacklisted.
The exact same shit is going on with China today. You don't see nearly as much published about it outside of right-wing/Republican periodicals like National Review, however, because
A.) The Muuns aren't being persecuted so it's no skin off their noses
B.) The elites in Hollywood are broadly sympathetic to left-wing authoritarianism anyhow and don't want to accidentally bite themselves in the ass producing works with messages that could be turned against their own interests in the future.
