NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT MY SPACE WIZARDS FRANCHISE
Frick off. Star Wars is important.
This is serious, don't joke around like that homosexual
kys
What actually is this? Someone advertising their 12 hour youtube video essay or an actual convention of some kind?
>make a film called "The People vs George Lucas" where you decry George as the destroyer of Star Wars
>claim Star Wars died when Lucas sold to Disney
What did he mean by this?
Lucas was bad but disney is worse. Not really sure where the confusion comes from. It would be like going from Biden to Hillary Clinton.
A little moving of the goalposts there. After all that shittalking on RLM, enemy of my enemy isn't really going to cut it.
Why should WE align ourselves to media illiterates that never understood the vision of Star Wars in the first place?
If this isn't an AI post, you really need to rethink yourself.
I don't think I will. We have absolutely zero reason to align with Lucas bashers.
Thankfully YouTubers wisened up and called out your cottage industry and the falsehoods spouted.
Go find clout elsewhere. Cinemaphile is a Lucas loyalist board.
>Cinemaphile is a Lucas loyalist board.
now you're just pretending to be moronic
NTA but I'd sooner castrate myself than ally myself with the witless demons at RLM. I doubt you replied to an AI you moron
AI bots are Lucas bashers because they are still running the same script, now go and enjoy the last Disney shit
>media illiterates that never understood the vision of Star Wars in the first place
that CLEARLY would refer to post-80s lucas and prequelgays
Looking into the lore, the prequels have never contradicted the OT, Lucas spent decades of his life making the universe work, and the Lucas bashers are either liars or bandwagoners.
>remember when Lucas bashers tried to give credit of A New Hope to the editors?
>loses its fairy tale quality
>turns into shitty this is how democracy by the political moron lucas who didnt understand a single thing about the ascent of hitler
>the prequels have never contradicted the OT
based moron
>implying Star Wars was ever a fairy tale
>implying the Clone Wars is comparable to the Reichstag Fire which gave Hitler emergency powers, and implying Hitler was the only tyrant that exercised dictatorial powers in history
>Yes
It seems you're not only illiterate in cinema but in history as well.
I'm starting to notice a pattern with OT stooges.
he is such a fricking moron
>media illiterates
Opinion instantly disregarded.
If you had to be a child when watching your shitty trilogy to enjoy it, then they aren’t good movies. The prequels are only ever going to be popular with the people young and dumb enough to have enjoyed them when they released, and are so stuck in their nostalgia of the memory, they can’t escape the narrative.
Disney locking George out and letting JJ do whatever he wanted was basically following the wishes of the guys that made that documentary. In their anger, they killed Star Wars.
OTards are too stupid and needed somebody really destroying the franchise to see that making the same shit with AT ATs is not a good way to handle Star Wars
>hosted by Chris Gore
>same guy who praised The Last Jedi
Frick him. He's a grifter. He shoudl've known nu-Wars would be total dogshit since the first teaser for TFA around 10 years ago.
What is being hosted? Where? No one has told me what this actually even is yet.
>TFA around 10 years ago.
Is amazing how 12 years already passed and there is absolutely nothing remarkable about Nu Wars beyond "I bypassed the character arc and somehow Sheev has returned through fornite"
>hosted by Chris Gore
oh no
Nothing in that tweet suggests he's not being facetious.
>I was just pretending to be moronic
No, people where not used to critic manipulation before TLJ so everyone jumped into the wagon for fear of not pleasing their audiences.
Also, double negatives in a sentence sucks, man
Is this facetious?

He's so pathetic. The world moved on. People either watch Star wars or stopped caring about it but no one except for other people his age still cling to the idea about caring only about Star Wars like there aren't eny other franchises, some better that are doing great. In his times people had pretty much just Star Wars so only he would come up with another shit like this. Because it's not even the first this he did something like that. He came up with the idea for a mock trial over Disney Star Wars.
In 11 parts.
>In his times people had pretty much just Star Wars
Star Wars mania really only lasted for such a short period, though: basically 1977-85. And he would have been too old to have been playing with the action figures or and actually enjoying the Ewok TV movies at the tail end of that period. It was kids my age, a decade-plus younger than him, who were the demo that was still hanging on to Star Wars in the late '80s.
And even most of us had already moved on by the time the Special Editions came out, let alone the prequels. I saw all of those in the theater, of course, but I wasn't camping out on the sidewalk to score an opening night ticket, and went from being annoyed by JarJar and Jake Lloyd in TPM, to kind of enjoying AOTC despite its warts, to feeling thoroughly let down by ROTS. It was my younger cousins (solid millennials, too young to even remember the pre-SE versions of the OT) who I remember being really into the prequels, and KOTR, and Clone Wars and shit, and who were hyped for Episode VII.
I've never seen any of the Disney films. I've never bought the DVDs or Blu-rays. I still have my pre-SE VHS box set of the OT, and would probably buy an official remaster of those eversions if they ever made one (but they won't). But I've re-watched those movies maybe once in the last 10 years. They were a big part of my childhood, and I find them nostalgic, but I don't understand how supposed adults can obsess so much over them.
>the most I've applauded
Do Americans really?
You might be moronic if you genuinely believe he liked The Last Jedi, the tweet is obviously sarcasm to anyone who knows anything about this guy.
Are they pretending they didn't love that Mandolorian shit?
The only funeral I'll ever go to is my own
If I’m Disney, I’m suing or shutting it down for blatant copyright infringement.
>(MAY 25. 1977 - JANUARY 31, 1997)
Fixed
I think it's safe to say everyone ITT knows why they didn't put the date to that.
I don't. Why?
>JANUARY 31, 1997
The date millions of voices cried out in terror and have not shut up since. The day Lucas raped childhoods with bad cgi and other terrible, unnecessary alterations. Those who weren't around think that the cries of childhood rapings originated in May 1999 with The Phantom Menace, but it was ANH:SE when that meme started.
That's a bit revisionist. The way I remember it, most of us at the time weren't too bothered by the changes to the first film, and many thought the Empire SE was an improvement in most respects. It was fricking "Jedi Rocks" that really began the outcry in earnest, and caused a lot of us to to re-evaluate the other changes as well.
Also, for the real purists, those made-for-TV Ewok movies in '84 and '85 were where the franchise jumped the shark.
No one thought it would be anything other than bonus versions. But the problem was the special editions were meant to replace the theatrical cuts.
George was pretty up-front about that, though. We that VHS box set came out, it was even specifically advertised as being the last opportunity to buy those versions of the films. 16-year-old me didn't think too much of it at the time, and by the time 18-year-old me was seeing the SEs, it still wasn't a big deal because I owned the box set (and failed to foresee that VHS would be obsolete in a few years).
I don't mean that I agreed with every change by any means, but at the time they didn't really grate on me yet the way they do now. And some things, like including the scene where Luke reunites with Biggs, I still consider a plus (OK, so that's probably the only example of a positive change I can think of, aside from technical stuff like cleaning up matte lines). At the time, I didn't mind the Jabba scene, either; only later did I come to see how it was not only unnecessarily repeating what had already been covered by the Greedo encounter, but actually detrimental because it spoils the reveal of the Falcon.
At any rate, up to until ROTJ, there were changes I considered unfortunate, but Jedi Rocks was the first one that seriously affected my enjoyment of the movie.
I was bothered by the changes at that exact moment.
I was an adult in 1997, that's not a revisionist take at all. That terrible cgi Jabba scene was definitely not well received. The Tatooine changes as a whole weren't. Even now I cringe thinking about them.
No, they were marketing the VHS that came out in 1996 with "Own the originals for the LAST TIME".
>I was an adult in 1997, that's not a revisionist take at all. That terrible cgi Jabba scene was definitely not well received. The Tatooine changes as a whole weren't. Even now I cringe thinking about them.
I'm not saying I loved that stuff, but I don't recall a big uproar over the principle behind those changes, just some annoyed murmuring about the quality of the execution (and we know even George wasn't completely happy with CGI Jabba, which is why that scene has been repeatedly tinkered with for subsequent home video releases, too).
And a lot of people did love (and some still love) most of the changes to Empire.
>No, they were marketing the VHS that came out in 1996 with "Own the originals for the LAST TIME".
1995, wasn't it?
Unless you had a lot of SW fan friends to discuss it with and no internet, I guess you wouldn't have heard much of it. But shit like TheForce.net was full of SE hate.
>1995, wasn't it?
Perhaps. Either way, it was known at the time that the SEs were coming out after.
I remember theforce.net. Based puritans.
I think you mean purists. Puritans don't watch movies.
>Unless you had a lot of SW fan friends to discuss it with
I had a few, but they were mostly younger than me and probably less discriminating.
>and no internet, I guess you wouldn't have heard much of it. But shit like TheForce.net was full of SE hate.
That might explain it. I didn't have regular internet access until I started college in the fall of '97, and then my first forays into fan forums had to do with The X-Files rather than Star Wars.
The worst change to ESB was the Emperor scene. But that didn't happen until the 2004 DVDs.
Empire holds up great, not saying that just because "best Star Wars ever" consensus. Everything technical in ESB is polished, while 1977 is very clunky and looks like it's from 1967
>looks like it's from 1967
No it fricking doesn't. Compare it to Planet of the Apes, Barbarella, or even Logan's Run and then try saying that with a straight face. The only thing from that far back that even begins to stand up to Star Wars is 2001, and that had a rather bigger budget (when adjusted for inflation) than SW did, and far less action and far fewer sets and models to spend it on.
Empire was a surprisingly huge leap foward for only three years, but that doesn't mean that Star Wars wasn't revolutionary in 1977.
Literally nobody that saw the special editions in the theater thought it was anything more than glorified DVD extras that would obviously never be considered the default way to see the movies. So shit like the jabba deleted scene in star wars was treated as a novelty act and tolerated.
That's simply not true. Anyone who had paid attention at all knew that this was the new (and ostensibly final) official version and that George had said that it would replace any previous versions.
They literally ran ad for the 1995 VHS box saying that this was the last time the original version would ever be available:
>anything more than glorified DVD extras
In 1997, dude? We didn't know what DVD extras were in '97. DVD wasn't a thing yet and that shit was rare-to-nonexistent on VHS (I don't know about Laserdisc because I was too poor to even know anyone with a LD player).
I dunno how else to say it, literally nobody thought the SEs would be the only commercially available cut. There was only a protointernet at the time if Lucas really was going on record saying he was going to bury the original cuts. I remember so many, "Wait, what? Really?" conversations about it in the aftermath of AotC when the reality of star wars being shit forever was settling in.
I was 13 at that moment and I remember I already though Lucas was a moron for this. I didnt even mind so much the extra shit on screen, but the fricking singer in the cantina doesn't fit SW aestetic at all. Little I knew about Georfe's wors tendencies, lmao
> literally nobody thought the SEs would be the only commercially available cut. There was only a protointernet at the time if Lucas really was going on record saying he was going to bury the original cuts.
I wasn't on the internet at all at the time and I knew. He said it in TV interviews before the SEs came out. And like I said, the trailer ad TV ads for the box set had already been pretty definitive.
>I remember so many, "Wait, what? Really?" conversations about it in the aftermath of AotC when the reality of star wars being shit forever was settling in.
Then you weren't paying attention in 1995-96. I was.
More like:
>May 25, 1977 - March 14, 1997
(That's when Return of the Jedi special edition came out - seriously wtf was George thinking with the musical number? I love George but it will forever baffle me)
Fricking no. Bunch of boring grifters crying 12h over their love to some movies. The OT wad good, some of the rest was fun, that's it. New content is shit and I dont give a frick.
Although I must confess I sometimes listen to the drinker streams while I'm doing something. The think is I listen not because I love this or that franchise, but because it is fricking hilarious to see disney losing billions uppon billions creating shit
What a bunch of manbabies. I remember when I saw Phantom Menace I was fricking angry, but I was also like 13 years old. Then I grew up and realized that you can't just recreate the magic and you can't enjoy the same thing over and over like when you were a kid.
Imagine still caring THIS much about Star Wars. Let it go, guys, it's not going to get any better.
Everything being shitty is written into their policy. It will likely only get worse.
and they call leftists snowflakes lol
>
how did they know?
Black person, you are dumb
Star Wars has been dead a long time. I just assume this is a psyop or grifter meetup
Is this on Nerdrotic's channel? Oh no the black b***h will make another rap video about us.
It's Chris Gore. The one guy old enough to care about Star Wars because there was nothing else people cared about back then fandom-wise (Gore also likes Star Trek, but clearly not to the same extent). Nerdrotic doesn't care but has to talk about it for money.
Based and Gore-pilled. Nerdrotic got stale quick for me.
Are OTards really still assblasted about Lucas after all these years, or is it Disney shills concern trolling?
Yes I am still assblasted although just the special editions, I never actually watched the third prequel
So you're a petty, b***hy manbaby. Good to know.
Yes. Prequels are still shit BTW
The sequels are your fault.
Never saw them but anything that kills star wars is fine
Part 1: Death or Star Wars
Part 2: funeral for a franchise
Part 3: reign of the ???
Part 4: return of ???
Part 5: George Lucas Day
*death of Star Wars
death please
Hahahahaha This is going to piss off Disney and their legion of trannies so much I'm going to watch it just to support.
