It was the best of the three though
It was unwatchable garbage. Dumb chud shills.
>taking your adventure of the week story and turning it into a Slow Burn about the Republic hiring ex-nazi scientists.
We already have an Andor and people aren't tuning in for it.
>Slow Burn
I am so fucking sick of this phrase
Me too, it's especially overused for garbage like Star Wars and marvel. Like calling Captain America 2 a "political thriller"
Nobody used to have a problem with "slow burning" in the past, it was thanks to a moderate pace that series went on for several seasons instead of cramming every idea into the first one
>cramming every idea into the first one
you mean all zero of them?
It’s a great phrase to defend from criticism. It essentially just means “most of it is boring but if you watch long enough there are some good parts.”
It means zoomer filter and I’m betting you’re a zoomer like the other replies you got.
>hiring ex-nazi scientists.
The New Republic is not really doing that though. Rather than applying him to science, they waste the guy in some low-level office drone role that next to anyone could do. Even if the New Republic does not want him working on cloning, he must have enough transferable knowledge and skills to work on something else biology related. It is like the Americans getting von Braun to work as a cashier in McDonalds.
Yes it's very much like real life. Exactly what I want in Star Wars
That's nothing like real life at all anon. We only won the space race because we had the top nazi scientists working on it.
I don't get what you are trying to say. Are you saying it is okay with the Republic being retarded or that in real-life the Americans didn't use ex-Nazis?
The way they portray the New Republic is just bizarre. Beyond the retarded way they utilise Pershing, you also get them both disbanding the military (despite Imperial warlords still being a thing) and destroying valuable data. Maybe even worse, they make the New Republic seem dystopian and sinister with giving people numbers like it is The Prisoner and that mind flaying thing.
This episode was not a "slow burn". They want Redditors like you to think so, but only because you don't know what means.
I don't watch it, I just post Disney/star Wars headlines that are embarrassing. Cry harder Star fag
Yea, star wars is pretty pulpy. It's not subtle. This was an intentional slice of life episode that padded out actor usage ect.
This episode is the reason why Andor was a mistake.
Andor does not have Mon Calmari human brain specialists
Nobody cares about the emperor clones and the parallelism between DW and Nazi germany anon.
It`s just not what SW is about anon. SW has a very distinct and established personality that sets it apart from generic stuff. Very distinct themes, tone, cinematography and so on. Mandalorian season one was a hit because it attempted to respect the legacy and replicate these things that made SW unique instead of using it as just another intellectual property to kick start original narratives. Doing this kind of thing or making shows like Andor is going to keep backfiring on them no matter how technically proficient the products are because SW already has an established identity.
I agree with you completely. Andor sucks. From a technical perspective it's well made and has some good writing, but it's so entirely not Star Wars that it's repellant to me. It's shit. Not to mention, Star Wars having sex scenes, strip clubs, and lots of swearing is the absolute anti-thesis of what George Lucas wanted and intended with Star Wars. It's just as much subversive garden gnome trash as the sequel trilogy, just disguised behind more competent production.
There is a sex scene in Andor?
Multiple implied ones.
It's clear that Andor was someones pet Sci fi project that got rebranded to Star Wars. Sad that that's the only way something can get made.
More like someone’s pet prestige drama about the Troubles in Ireland that hastily got a Star Wars logo slapped on it.
>is the absolute anti-thesis of what George Lucas wanted and intended with Star Wars
Who the fuck cares what Lucas wants? When he had no yes men the prequels came out.
Don't tell me you actually liked them.
>When he had no yes men the prequels came out.
*when he had yes men
I don't proofread my posts. Suck my musty balls.
Awful bait
I thought this too. It felt like some other generic sci-fi show 90% of the time anyway. The only way you would know it's "Star Wars" is by the small handful of scenes where Stormtroopers or TIE Fighters show up. It fundamentally didn't want to be Star Wars and the creators simply worked around that limitation to do what they wanted, which was derivative MUH FASCISM MUH BLUE COLLAR WORKERS RISE UP commie trash.
REAL star wars fans know the only true starwars is GEORGE LUCAS(pbuh) Star Wars
An implied sexual element was in Lucas Star Wars. Slave Leia, Padme's BDSM getup.
Regardless of what you think of it, Andor is the closet thing we have gotten to the Underworld live-action tv show Lucas wanted to do. Saying Lucas envisioned this or Lucas said that is pretty meaningless when he has said so much over the years and at times he has contradicted himself.
This. Lucas had some great ideas, but he also has some horrid ones. That's why Star Wars is always so inconsistent. From movie to movie it retcons itself with each iteration.
Identity is not given by non existent projects. Statements like "Lucas said" or "Lucas wanted to do" have no weight. Identity is what was actually done; in the end what matters to the audience is what`s actually on the screen, not the ideas or what was envisioned or discussed. By this i don`t mean that the creative process is not important but that it can not be objectively observed or analyzed.
You can analyze the ways an image is composed, what lens were used, how it was lit, what purpose the shot serve on the story, how it fits on a the timeline (does it make the narrative too fast, does it slow it down? does it provide meaningful information or emotional payoff, etc), how actors perform, the relationship between image and sound and so on. You can`t analyze the abstract ideas. Consistency and style on how these things are done is what you would call identity. This is how an author actually communicates, not interviews and explanations.
In any case going by the observation of these elements on Lucas`s movies a distinct identity can be observed. The themes, the tone, the way the hero`s journey is presented, unambiguous almost naive representations of good and evil and so on. We are not discussing the simplicity of it or if it`s good or bad, we are just acknowledging based on a corpus of films that that is what SW is.
>Statements like "Lucas said" or "Lucas wanted to do" have no weight.
Well if that's the case then
>the absolute anti-thesis of what George Lucas wanted and intended with Star Wars.
has no weight either.
I don't give a fuck what the creator wanted, he sold that shit and anyone who cares what he wants is a fucking moron for thinking that has any sort of validity or credibility, he lost that right when he chose money. How are those indie films going george?
Andor is only live action starwas that has done anything of thematic substance to the world of the franchise, everything else has been dogshit black and white, ''bad guys iz bad, good guys iz good'' tier writing.
You don’t blend in.
>is the absolute anti-thesis of what George Lucas wanted and intended with Star Wars.
moron you do know that Lucas wanted to make a series called 'Star Wars: Underworld' which he and people involved with have described as
>"Much darker, grittier. It's much more character-based"
>"Deadwood in space"
>"Empire on steroids"
>“Basically, it is like ‘The Godfather’
>"The greasy, seamy underbelly of Star Wars."
very organic
It was boring as fuck and its even worse when you realize they hired this broken lip dude only because he is gay in real life.
>Muh representation reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
I can imagine that is true for places like Twitter but, is it true for /misc/? I would imagine most anons don't pay for Disney+; plus what even is the percentage of people that even use this site?
>I would imagine most anons don't pay for Disney+
/misc/ is Capeshitter Central. We're surrounded by retards, anon. I wouldn't bet on it.
Shill activity has been confirmed in boards half the size of /misc/.
This. Look at all the people Itt defending disney. Not star wars, but Disney
It just seems like a waste of money. I can't see there being any meaningful (if at all) financial return in convincing anons on Cinemaphile.
Damn shills aren't even trying anymore YIKES
It was great
Agreed but, you need to think about what the typical short-attention span retard viewer is like.
You're watching star wars shit, why do you act like you're above the average watcher of this show?
OMGOMGOMG STAAARRR WARRRSSSS
There is no proof of that, all those sites are in the disney hatewagon and fake the numbers
>deboonked
Kathleen, go try and make a good movie
I can't, Iger won't let me.
quite the opposite actually you dumb disney shill lmao
>Mandalorian disappears for most of it and instead we get "I can't believe it's not Andor"
What is it with Star Wars shows, that you never know what you're going to watch when you open an episode?
Mando became too big and now the execs are pushing sequel shit.
>oh you didn't like that episode? Better bring in another OC donut steel character.
This. If you willingly consume Filonislop, you got no one to blame but yourself.
>The hat. That fucking hat. How many times did I tell you not to wear that fucking hat?
>fans wear hats
>I'mnot the boss of the fans, but I'm the boss of you, and I'm telling you to keep that shit kicker hat at home.
I hate this gay. He has been an absolute disaster for Star Wars without George Lucas checking his work every day.
>that physiognomy
>that upper lip
what did he mean by this?
I went from liking this dude to thinking he’s getting as bad as Kathleen Kennedy, I hate that he keeps forcing his cartoon characters everywhere like they were in the original and prequel trilogies all along.
They are not *his* characters. Most of those were either created, co-created, or approved by George Lucas in a show created by George Lucas, which was Lucas' last contribution to Star Wars. And, by all means, they are as important and are as valid as the characters from the films, which were also created by Lucas.
Filoni's characters are Star Wars: Rebels characters. And we haven't seen any of them yet. But we will in the Ahsoka show.
And no, he's by no means "as bad as Kennedy."
This thread is hilarious.
Shut the fuck up, Filoni
Hi, retard.
Co-created and approved by Lucas, moron.
no one gives a shit, gay
Hi Dave
get back to work filoni
lose the hat
Commie jibber jabber.
I guess the fry cook at McDonalds owns the fries?
Jek-14 confirmed as final boss.
unbelievable that LEGO's OC fanfics are the last bastion of interesting SW characters
>Dave, it's the third season of The Mandalorian, time to add me in an episode!
Ahsoka is one of the truly well liked characters but I just feel like Kathleen Kennedy will way over-push and overexpose her, and steal all of Luke’s New Republic stories and give them all to her. Give it another year, and Kathleen Kennedy will have turned Ahsoka into Rey Palpatine 2.0. Watch.
The problem with Ahsoka is not Kennedy, it's Filoni. It's his waifu and he refuses to let her go.
Vader should have killed her in that sith temple.
This is also true. Even Filoni’s comments taking unnecessary shots at Luke were meant to try to bolster his cartoon waifu. But once Kathy gets her hands on a female protagonist, every inch of the Universe is burned to the ground in order to get that female protagonist over. Kennedy can’t write. She doesn’t understand character
>watch a show called "The Mandalorian"
>that character is only on screen for barely ten minutes out of 60
Gee, I wonder why people are upset.
It's like the end of The Hobbit trilogy where there's supposedly an awesome fight between five armies going on but we're focusing on that unibrow guy constantly
Did we really need 50 mins to establish that the female character was a psychopath? Also what was the point of it, I still dont understand.
Leftover shit from the canceled cara dune show
They need to fire Pedo Pascal and replace him with a based and redpilled chad actor.
*mando noise*
Hey guys its me mando *mando noise*
I'm back with *mando noise* grogu doing mando things haha
Wait why is everybody turning the show off, quick play the noise again they like that *mando noise**mando noise*guys?*mando noise*grogu so something quick
Dis is dae wae
No Cara Dune no watch
>episode linking Mando timeline to the sequel trilogy (palpatine cloning)
>lowest rated episode ever of all time
just retcon the nuwars sequel trilogy, it's a fucking abomination and no one gives a single shit about it
This. And I knew Kennedy would somehow turn the only good thing going for Disney wars into sequel shit and tie it together.
>This. And I knew Kennedy would somehow turn the only good thing going for Disney wars into sequel shit and tie it together.
Correct. Nobody likes the Sequels. Nobody is going to accept Rey Palpatine stealing Luke’s primary function in the Star Wars Universe which is to bring back the New Jedi Order with a new set of guidelines. Try it Kathy, and you’re looking at a disaster 10x as big as the Sequel Trilogy
sequel hate is a vocal minority of autistic prequel zoomers and incel right wing culture warriors
Where's RJ's trilogy, gay?
It's coming. Have patience, incel. A masterpiece takes time to perfect.
He's too busy making kino with Netflix and pocketing $100 million from the deal. I don't care if RJ never gets another SW movie, the current state of Star Wars is abysmal. Mando has always sucked (s3 is just proving it) and Andor is the only good thing to come out of Disney Wars besides 7 and 8 lmao
>Netflix
>kino
lol
lmao even
>only good thing to come out of Disney Wars besides 7 and 8 lmao
>7 and 8
GTFO
Will you guys stop falling for obvious bait? I thought anon was being sloppy with it but lo and behold, there you fucks are.
Nah. This guy is legit. He’s been coming in these threads for years now defending Rian Johnson, TLJ, and Rey. I recognize his posting style. He always says the same shit
Let us enjoy things, anon. We're humoring him.
No, it’s not. It’s widespread. I’m a liberal, I’m married, I lost my virginity at 16, and I had (some) issues with the Prequels. Having said that, I absolutely despise the Sequel Trilogy and I see it as corporate cancer that destroyed one of modern pop culture’s greatest myths/ stories.
Why do you need to lie?
sequel hate spans the zoomer to boomer spectrum. the only people who "like" it are lgbtqmnop gays who feel compelled to defend it cause it was written by a bunch of roastoids and was cast with minorities. shit sucked complete balls, and the silent majority agrees wholeheartedly
I live in NYC, and have plenty of Latino friends. And they ALL hate the Sequel Trilogy. Minorities hate the ST more than whites.
ya im not saying minorities like it either, just that the mindless progressive crowd that values diversity over quality feels compelled to defend it because it ticks off all the woke checkmarks

>There's no inbetween.
Pershing is shown to be essentially be forced into working with the new republic because that's the only way he could get a job. They comment that Corescant has a population of trillions. Surely there could be other, small empires that would happily employ him to make clones. He even mentions the Kaminoans or whatever, the fucking cloning people. Why not go work for them? But no, he has to work in the new republic because that's the single option in a galaxy of millions of worlds.
>Surely there could be other, small empires that would happily employ him to make clones
He got captured by the Republic and was under prohibition. Considering what happened to him, he was also seemingly under surveillance the entire time. So it is not as if he could just easily leave, and for that matter the reconditioning or whatever the New Republic did seemed to have worked.
>prohibition
probation
>end of season 3 before Boba
>no more Yeed to tam Mando
>he has the dark saber which is the tool to unite his people under one banner
>putting him on an unwanted path of power that will attract allies, enemies and contenders
>this while missing baby Yeed
It was the perfect setup to explore Din as a character and the mandalorians, a path that will obviously bring Mando back to Yeed to end the show with an emotional scene. But nah, they had to rush everything in a side show to put the characters back together at the beginning of S3 to be able to sell more shit of the same thing, ruining any fucking setup in place. The simple fact that nobody fucking cares about the dark saber since the beginning of S3 is dumb as fuck.
The darksaber was always dumb as fuck. It wasn't cool in The Clone Wars, it's not cool here. But you are correct that they immediately rushed to backtrack their own story in order to keep the women who only watched for the Muppet. But the thing is, those women do not care about trying to follow a story they don't have all the context to, so keeping Grogu around means nothing when the story is Filoni wank requiring multiple seasons of multiple other shows to understand.
The Dark Saber could have been cool. Watching him cut that one guy in half in book of Boba Fett was neat, but as soon as I saw Bo using it with no problem whatsoever, I knew what was happening
>The darksaber was always dumb as fuck
>muh cool
It's not about being cool (maybe for the childrens and manchildrens who watch the show). The darksaber is just a TOOL, it's basically the excalibur of the Mandalorian people. A tool to unite people which by this fact, bring drama upon his owner. It's a tool to make stories around it, stories that are more interesting than the actual sword/saber. The series is called The Mandalorian, with a hero from a cultist clan, the darksaber was teased at the end of S1, it was obvious that it was supposed to end in his hands from the start.
>children and manchildren don't understand the TRUE MEANING of the darksaber.
Kek okay manchild
>It's not about being cool
it's a black lightsaber katana.
Cope all you like, but pretending it wasn't made to look cool is delusional.
I hate things that look cool.
I think thats why I liked andor so much
Yeah, like the tales of King Arthur and Excalibur for any child way before Star Wars.
That doesn't mean the sword isn't a tool to make interesting stories around it.
>The darksaber is just a TOOL
that's why it's retarded, because it's a SHITTY TOOL.
it's just a lightsaber except it's sometimes heavy, which means it's just a lightsaber that lacks the main advantage that makes lightsabers useful.
This. Plus didn't they change all the Mandalorians into pacifists in the clone wars? Who wants to unite them
Gideon should come back to finish the job.
Dark Saber was always dumb and the old EU lore around claiming Mandalore's helmet (because you took his fucking head) was cooler and less Mary Sueish.
>basically I'm like a Jedi and a Mandalorian and better than both
>please read my character bio on my deviantart and check out my tumblr
>and better than both
No one said they were better. You made that up.
>and the old EU lore around claiming Mandalore's helmet (because you took his fucking head) was cooler
Darksaber fits with the mythological framework of Star Wars better. It's Arthurian legend, basically. EU was dogshit with no thought behind it, and all it had going for it was superficial "i-it's cooler" said by fat 13 year olds under their breath.
>neuter the Mandalorians so they get farther and farther away from George's original conception as a traditional fanatical warrior sect opposed to the Jedi
>this is better because I'm a pussy
>the EU was for 13 year olds anyway
Every day you sin and get farther from George.
The best thing about wiping out the EU was that the later EU Mary Sue Mandalorian nonsense (including the Boba Fett dick suck) was all swept away.
Then Filoni and friends were all hold my beer, you thought their fanatical warrior roots were neutered in the EU? Fuck that I'll cut off their entire body below their bellybutton.
the Mandalorians so they get farther and farther away from George's original conception as a traditional fanatical warrior sect opposed to the Jedi
>George Lucas' vision of Mandalore and Mandalorians neuters George's conception of Mandalorians and Mandalore
Epic.
it seemed like to me this whole episode was about Dr Chudd and his fascist lesbo friend because the leading man Pedro Pascal was busy filming his other big TV show
prove me wrong
Pedro doing his lines in between takes on the Last of Us
Was there another episode? I forgot even what night this show was on. I gave up after the stupid cave fetch quest episode.
episode 2 has a higher imdb rating than BOTH gay episodes of The Last Of Us, which of course logically means it must be better.
It was. Anything is better than LGBT propaganda. Episode 3 is also so much worse that it makes the first two seem like a masterpiece. Besides the dogfight with the TIE Interceptors, the entire episode was a soulless waste.
The dogfight was embarrassing trash. The good guys are invincible and the bad guys are useless, it’s boring as hell.
Maybe they shouldn't have cast an ugly butch dyke as the honeypot character for the male scientist
Meanwhile, this is the actress they picked to play the fully covered at all times armorer
..and thats a good thing, chud
stop objectifying her
Anon, none of these actors are in the suits. They're just lending their voices. Acting is actually done by stunt doubles.
Give me qt 3.14 milf girlfriend
is she the bitch from Hannibal?
Favreau is a cuck who doesn't cast women below 40, that's sexist.
>Mandatrash gets a KINO episode

StahWahs fans
What do anons think of the theory that the Mando episodes in BOBF were originally for Mando S3?
I don't know how it could be anything else, S3 makes zero sense if you go directly from S2.
They pretty much were, I wouldn’t doubt if they were thrown in to that lineup at the last second after how bad Boba was doing.
God that show was so disappointing, I hate how much Boba Fett has been neutered by Disney.
>wait years between seasons
>info dump main plot events in some side series
>never address them in S3
>less focus on Mando, more on side characters
what the fuck were the thinking?
they are setting up the spin-off show about the scientist and homo companion
They were thinking they could go back to doing whatever trash they wanted and people would still watch. The same attitude behind TLJ and TRoS.
I thought it was pretty good. I liked that it took the time to flesh out the universe a bit, showing what the new republic is and how it operates, how the former imperial staff are treated after the empire's collapse. Star Wars usually falls in to the problem of being really vast as a setting but having very little depth in terms of how it all connects together, so it was good that they bucked that trend this episode.
I'm guessing the woman who set Pershing up is still an imperial and just a double agent working for Gideon or some other empire remnant.
inb4 the twist is the lesbian that killed the scientist is Omeeeeega
A bunch of those posts are not positive. I think Star Wars has broken your mind.
>release shows of this quality in between Mando S2 and 3
>why is Star Wars dead?
Why didn't the pilot just shoot at he feet and kill her with splash damage?
Don't ask questions, just consoom
Stop it anon. I beg of you.
someone actually planned and executed this scene and thought it was a good idea.
So fucking embarrassing, I refuse to believe people genuinely enjoyed this show.
>I refuse to believe people genuinely enjoyed this show.
Do you have any idea of what female-centric entertainment was like before the 2010's? It's all terrible and dumb. Woman like dumb shit as long as it hits the right emotional notes. It's just that before ~2015 all that shit was contained on female-centric shows and entire channels. Now everything is made with women audience in mind first and foremost.
>'member Snowspeeders?
>no it doesn't matter that we're on a water planet shut up!
Obi-Wan was embarrassingly bad, but that was far from the shittiest scene in it at any rate. Reva was a horrible character.
They weren't snow speeders. They were specifically stated to be being in progress of modifications for hoth's climate in ESB, which is why han goes looking for luke on the tonton
The real questions from this scene, aside from the laughable technical side of things and embarassing acting, is why these things have blasters so weak that they cant damage a floor nor cause any explosive effect beyond a pitiful spark, literally storm trooper blasters are generally shown more powerful. Why did the rebels at hoth even bother with the things, they were clearly going to be useless against anything armore. How can the negress throw a crate so fast to catch up with an accelerating aircraft
>They weren't Snowspeeders!
>Have ALWAYS been called Snowspeeders
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Snowspeeder
????
They may have been called Snowspeeders in the marketing, but it's canon and explicitly stated in the movie that they were previously existing speeders that were modified for Hoth's climate, and even then they were having problems adjusting them to the extreme cold.
They are snowspeeders. That is what they are called. That is what they do. That is what they were for.
Being pedantic, retarded autists isn't endearing. Besides, they were never spaceworthy, let alone capable of jumping to hyperspace, but Disney ignored that fact too. Now fuck off shills.
they've been called snowspeeders since I opened a Kenner Snowspeeder under my christmas tree in 1982, motherfucker
>disneycanon
Let me help you
>https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/T-47_airspeeder/Legends
Also, in regards to nucanon
>its a snowspeeder! It'll crash if they fly it in the rain!
It flies dude
The only good bits of this show were the flashbacks of Obi Wan and Anakin along with their final duel, why didn’t Disney realize this?
Oh, they realized it. It only existed as bait to get you to watch more moron invested feminist trash though.
The final duel was absolute garbage. The flashbacks were an empty wasted opportunity.
>show is called KENOBI
>UHM this is REVA'S STORY CHUDS
>also Baby Leia, but no Luke
>wait where are you going? WATCH OUR SHOWS YOU NAZI
I liked how Disney preemptively called people racists when Reva was first revealed. Real cool.
>she is getting hate messages on social media!!!!
>people a reviewing bombing our show!!!
Always the same thing.
In the end, it's a flop.
And surprise. All that bullshit just turned people off from the show entirely.
No it was more like
>"Hey this character sucks and honestly doesn't make sense"
>"OMG YOU NAZI RACIST YOU JUST HATE BLACKS BEING IN STAR WARS INCEL!!"
>"That's not true at all if that was the case where was the black lash over mace windu and lando?"

I forgot this show existed till you posted this. This has been happening alot with nu marvel and Disney wars. So many shows that came and went and we're completely forgotten.
> completely forgotten.
its the top download on rarbg whenever a new episode drops.
Real question will be how Andor S2 does.
andor can go either way. first season left most people clearly liking or disliking it.
>mfw writer behind this scene probably doesn't even understand starships use turbolasers or others heavy lasers that you cannot possibly deflect with a lightsaber the way she does there
It's because they do these crossovers with shows no one cares about.
yeah it doesn't help having a bull dyke man jaw shit skin freak of nature on screen 90% of the episode
blackrock pays better than any audience they can realistically attract
>we want the parkour audience
They turned Mando into yet another crossover show where you have to watch other Disney+ series to follow it because they can't resist trying to pull you into the content web and entangle you in their service. The first season was hit because it was standalone and fresh. S3 is neither.
You know alot of these star wars shows have made me realise that star wars is really really fucking lame.
Its identity is so obviously tied to it being a kind of cheesy 80s space series that its hard to take it seriously in the modern day.
The more time that goes by makes it seem like Star Wars (1977) was a overall negative for television and film.
https://vocaroo.com/1oVpp1GrLV9J
Where do these viewing numbers come from? I can believe it but, it does seem like >bro trust me
Nowhere. It's a service that monitors Twitter engagement and extrapolates from that.
Literally some third-party thing, which indicates that users of that third party thing watched Mandalorian 3 slightly less than Boba Fett and Kenobi. Disney has never officially disclosed any of their numbers, And numbers are, frankly, irrelevant in the streaming era, when all that matters is the amount of D+ subscriptions. People can watch episodes any time they like if they are subscribed. Lots of people just wait for the entire season to drop.
Third parties but they're pretty easy to confirm, just run this show against TLOU on google trends and see it yourself
It’s not that the episode was necessarily bad (I like learning about and seeing the New Republic). It’s that all of these shows are now be aggressively used to prop up the disastrous Sequel Trilogy.
All people wanted was good compelling stories that take place during the New Republic Era. And maybe after a good decade or so of this (movies/ tv shows/ animated shows), we could skip forward in the timeline 300 years and follow up on Grogu’s Mandalorian Jedi or something.
But instead we’re getting more Sequel Trilogy garbage. We’re getting all the EU stories that rightfully belong to Leia, Mara Jade, Luke, Lando, Han, Jaina, etc. stolen and given to Ahsoka and Filoni’s other one note cartoon characters. Just like how the Sequels stole every single storyline and accomplishment from the Original 6 movies and gave them all to Rey Palpatine. After destroying the Movie side and the merchandise side of Lucasfilm with that stolen valor template, Kathleen Kennedy pushed Faveau/ Filoni to adopt it and steal the remaining EU and give it all to Ahsoka and Rey. And now because of that, and because the fans have completely figured it out, (along with shitting the bed w/ Kenobi & BOBF) people are checking the fuck out. For good.
>We’re getting all the EU stories that rightfully belong to Leia, Mara Jade, Luke
>GEORGE LUCAS: "I've left pretty explicit instructions for there not to be any more features. There will definitely be no Episodes VII-IX. That's because there isn't any story. I mean, I never thought of anything. And now there have been novels about the events after Episode VI, which isn't at all what I would have done with it. The Star Wars story is really the tragedy of Darth Vader. That is the story. Once Vader dies, he doesn't come back to life, the Emperor doesn't get cloned and Luke doesn't get married..."
>“George couldn’t stand Mara Jade. They went out and got some sort of person who looked like she had stepped out of a Cosmopolitan magazine to be the model for Mara, and he just thought the whole thing was so not Star Wars, and not his vision for Star Wars. […] And also she married Luke, and he says ‘Jedi don’t marry.’ So for him, that was important.”—J.W. Rinzler, non-fiction author and editor of Lucas Licensing
EU was never canon. Luke never got married. Mara Jade never existed.
This idea that Luke would marry at all much less get some hot piece of ass is so cringe.
and I thank god, some of that shit was just retarded
>luuke
The idea was sound. It's the name that was fucking stupid.
>EU was never canon
Anon, Coruscant exists because of the EU. Various prequel Jedi were added in the films because George liked their look from the comics.
It may exist because of the EU but it is not canon because of the EU
Coruscant existed long before the EU. It was just called Had Abbadon.
>Various prequel Jedi were added in the films because George liked their look from the comics
True, George saw a hot blue twi'lek on the wall of Lucasfilm office and he added her. Doesn't mean her stories were canon, though. In fact, they weren't. Just like Lucas was going to have Darth Talon as old Maul's apprentice in his ST five years after ROTJ, when she lived centuries after ROTJ in the EU and had nothing to do with Maul.
I always liked that George had a friendly relationship with the Robot Chicken guys
George Lucas hates the Sequel Trilogy.
Lucas worked with the original authors of the EU and had to approve most plot points, especially with the Heir To The Empire trilogy
All false. have a nice day.
You completely miss the point with this post.
George Lucas and the majority of the fan base do not consider the Disney Trilogy canon either. But by all means, side with a thieving corporation over George Lucas himself.
>thieving
tbf they did pay for it.
The EU???
Many, many authors have complained that Disney directly steals their ideas without compensating or crediting them. Also, Disney literally doesn’t compensate them properly for their actual books sales either. Disney is notoriously cheap
You can buy a name. But you can't buy creativity and you can't buy a fanbase. George Lucas sold them "Star Wars", but he could never actually give them Star Wars. They had to earn that, and they have done the complete opposite of that for a decade.
He won in the end. Only his films and the EU are canon. He got billions of dollars to retire on and leave his family. Disney expended tens of billions and lost it all because instead of putting heart and soul into it, they tried to taxidermize the corpse of the beloved film series of all time with cheap, stylistically and morally bankrupt propaganda.
Don't forget the vidya, anon. Lucasarts made so many good games. What has Disney made? Battlefraud2? That Souls clone where you can't even slice enemies with a lightsaber?
The video games are counted as part of the EU, or course. I still play many of them to this day.
Wrong.
Lucas never “hated” Mara Jade. He literally worked with Timothy Zaun on her development and her unique skills. What he didn’t like was how she “looked like a Cosmopolitan Model.” That’s way different than “hating” her as a character.
The EU was a “B” tier canon, however it was very successful with the EU books selling over 100 million copies and keeping the franchise vibrant for decades. George Lucas had no problem putting his name on every EU product and collecting the tens of millions in revenue.
If Disney was smart (they aren't) they'd fire Kennedy and filoni, completely delete and redact the sequel trilogy and let someone like Kevin feige redo the series. Unfortunately Disney is full of retards so they're going to double down on the god awful sequels and the fan fiction tier character rey
Kevin Fiege isn’t doing so hot at the moment either.
the 35 minutes of a scientist's boring life felt like setting the stage for another series like they did with book of boba fett, but bo katan being redeemed was a nice plot twist.
Can we all now agree that franchise fatigue is real and that this is what happens when franchises like MCU and Star Wars keep going after 20+ years with zero breaks
No this is what happens when you ignore the fans and let diverse lesbians run your franchise.
It’s weird that Disney still hasn’t released the theatrical version of the original trilogy despite owning the franchise for over a decade now.
probably something in the contract they signed with george lucas.
They don't give a fuck about making money. That's not the goal with all this propaganda since at least 2015 (and realistically decades and decades before that). "Go woke go broke".....they don't care. They're taking orders from people far far above them in the overall power peking order and at the top, the ones giving the orders? Money is of zero concern. Getting their vision(s) through to completion is top priority .
Think about it. It's win win for them. They turn a once beloved work of art or franchise into obvious propaganda and good or even satisfying writing be damned. One of two things eventually happens. Some, the dumbest of the dumb, fall for and are brainwashed by the propaganda. OR people say FUCK THIS and abandon yet another classic institution of humanity. Think Mao and what he achieved with his minions in destroying and replacing the "old fashioned and poisonous old traditions". They don't CARE if Hollywood burns. If Football dies. If this that and the other thing goes bankrupt and people give up on it because that's the next best thing to falling for the propaganda....demoralization. Notice how bummed out and depressed EVERYONE is now? They can be more easily defeated if everything that every brought them joy goes up in flames. See. Win win for the powers that be.
This. It's just more demoralization to keep everyone divided and depressed. I take a two lane road to work every morning and I'm always stunned by how everyone driving in the opposite lane look depressed, broken, and tired.
>have to keep up with multiple series/films to understand the plot
why do they keep trying to pull this shit?
it only works on redditors and /toon/cksuckers
Disney is worse than that. They shoved a Mando storyline inside of Boba Fet show for some unknown reason and then partially retconned it with Mando S3E1. Very strange.
Why do ~~*they*~~ celebrate penis mutilation?
Because the demon they worship loves to eat baby foreskin. So they do too.
The goyim? they do it because it's ~~*normal*~~
The chosen people? they enjoy branding their cattle
Because they want to pull off the Marvel formula again. Star Wars always operated on each movie being an event you had to go and see. Until Disney happened, at least.
Except up until recently, Marvel films didn’t actually have that much continuity. Outside of the Avengers movies a non fan could easily watch and understand Iron Man 3 or Guardians of the Galaxy.
the new republic plot was clearly supposed to be on the rangers of the new republic, instead of cancelling the whole show why not just recast cara dune?
is Gina really the only "tough" looking actress available?
child rapist advocate pedo pascal (he/him) is box office poison
Wow, I guess even for normies that comedy scene where the evil ex-empire girl is let into the medical control room(Because she's a friend), given detailed instructions on how to control medical equipment and turn it up to dangerous levels unprompted, and then everyone just up an fucking leaves the room was just a step too far even for normies.
I guess this show finally reached a level of just plain bad writing even the regular people can't stomach.
The chunky one will save it...
at least give us a decent ep.
The most bizarre thing about this episode isn’t anything to do with its concept, it’s how stilted the dialogue is. It feels like the writing for the cartoons. Pedro Pascal can pull it off, but that’s it.
Also, Disney’s green screen thing continues to look like shit.
I hate how they are now catering to the blandor retards with muh slow burn season-long storielines, but atleast we've gotten some cool spaceship scenes so far in s3
Star Wars had one chance to return from the dead 2 years ago and they blew it. It’s over.
Just more proof that Disney killed Star Wars.
>Disney killed Star Wars.
>Jedi Survivor
>Acolyte
>Ahsoka
>Tales of the Jedi
>The Bad Batch S3 confirmed
>Rian's upcoming trilogy
>Taika's upcoming movie
>Galaxy's Edge still getting hundreds of visitors per day
>Starcruiser, despite the backlash, is still turning a profit
>Daisy Ridley & John Boyega confirmed to return for films set after Episode 9
>"Star Was is....LE KILLED"
lol you chuds crack me up.
>turning a profit
now list the things that haven't been cancelled
>Chuds
90% of the people that hate Disney Star Wars aren’t chuds. They are literally just everyday (mostly apolitical) people. You sad corporate apologists are so fucking pathetic.
So they pretty much confirmed Snoke in this episode, fucking great idea, do remind the remaining fanbase of the movie that divided and destroyed the franchise
It was basically an Andor episode with mandalorian characters
Its andor really this fucking trash? Jesus.
Andor is better written and acted than this episode, but the tone and style are somewhat similar
Andor had 3 episode arcs, in a 12 episode run in season 1 and it knew where it wanted to go. It is a story that will only go for 2 seasons so it can have an earn those moments of "slow burn" and build the tension. This show is on its 3rd season and it feels completely lost.
>instead of doing their own thing now they are trying to connect it with the shit tier sequels
I wonder why this show is crap now.
The pacing of this series so far is just so damn bizarre. It feels like its going in circles. Mando goes to see the Armorer so that we could get the exposition again for those that didn't see Boba. Then he goes to Greef to get IG, but it doesn't go anywhere and just sets up the pirate episode they'll do later. He goes to Tatooine to talk to the lady to get parts for IG, but just gets an Astromech and rolls with it. Then talks to Bo, then goes to Mandalore, then he needs to get rescued and gets on the waters. Finally, it ends with him going back to his people. It didn't need to be two damn episodes of him flying around, back tracking, talking to people, flying off, etc. You could have had a 1hour premiere Ep1 if they had tightened the pacing.
Then we get the last episode, which feels like a bait and switch because most people were wanting to see where this whole Mythosaurus and Bo situation would play out. The season thus far just feels aimless.
I dont want to watch this episode to tell me, did his people believed he bathed in the waters?
He brought a vial with the living waters in it, that the Armorer confirmed was indeed from the living waters.
>I dont want to watch this episode
Nobody does. The second people get a whiff of the Sequel Trilogy, the ratings collapse.
It was good though, basically just an andor episode
I refuse to believe anyone would praise Andor if it had writing that shitty. Name one thing in Andor as badly written as the Mind Flayer scene, one.
#justice4gina
brng back cara dune
garden gnomes seething because it criticizes their liberal utopia.
Best episode since the timothy olyphant one. I've forgotten all the others
Huh, I thought it was the best episode in ages.
Barring the awful subversion ending where the uninteresting woman character turns out to be the important one.
if you didn't see this "twist" coming from the moment they showed her in the recap, you're clinically retarded. subsequently, for that reason, the entire episode felt like it dragged on for eternity, because it was so obvious the gay beta was gonna get fucked by the ugly dyke
why the fuck would i watch recaps
cause it's at the beginning of the torrent.
regardless, even if you didn't watch the recap and didn't see the le epic twist coming, you're retarded and probably gay too
t. someone who got spoiled by chronically browsing /misc/
nah, im just not retarded and could see the twist from a mile away because the target audience of nuwars is sub 100 iq pajeets and brazilians
the levels of cope im sensing from you are incredible though, keep it up gaytard
Watching it now and it's so bad, utterly illogical scenes on par with disneywars movies, soulless cgi and dialogue so basic it comes off like a beginners guide on script writing. Contrived, utterly illogical dog shit because no one under the disney umbrella has a soul or an ounce of creativity.
No werner herzog. why is anyone still watching it then?
I still think they killed his character off because he made a point of the child being a puppet instead of cgi and ruffled feathers
>puts his foot down on something that becomes the focal point of baby yeed's show selling point
>seething disney drones still oust him
the series should have ended in season 2.
then they should have made cutesy small clips of grogu to keep the cash flow coming.
yes they like it so much they hire employees that ask too little money and deliver poorly
this come back and bites in the ass with low ccv tho
>grown men bitch about a franchise for 12 year olds
This thread is truly pathetic.
LOL. Star Wars has always been popular with adults from the beginning.
Lone Wolf and Women-Pandering-Cub can coexist with something like Andor.
Just not in the same show.
Episode 3 was like watching Monty Python. Now for something completely different. Fuck off.
Sweaty, it stopped being about money long ago.
