it really is this though
Seeing John Boyega for the first time in The Force Awakens was the shock of my life.
I was so hyped for the sequel trilogy that I cagily avoided all marketing materials, all trailers, and all commercials. If I walked by a toy aisle at the store and caught a small glimpse of a vehicle or stormtrooper, I'd look away immediately. I wanted to go into the new era of Star Wars with an entirely open mind, as pure as an Amish virgin. On opening night I knew there was a brown-haired female protagonist (that much was hard to avoid, even though I shielded my eyes), but little else. I didn't even know which classic characters were returning.
When Boyega first took off that helmet and revealed himself to the theater, I let out an audible gasp. My entire row of filmgoers looked at me like I was nuts, but I couldn't help myself. There before me was the most Simian creature I'd ever seen in a galaxy far, far away. An intergalactic gorilla with huge flaring Black person nostrils and big Nigerian chieftain lips.
Oftentimes film studios will soften the blow by casting Billy Dee Williams or Will Smith... but not this time. This time you were forced to feast your eyes on a pure-blooded coal black silverback Black person, blown up forty feet high on an IMAX screen.
I looked around, uncomprehendingly, as the rest of the crowd seemed to accept this monstrosity as a regular matter of course. Then it occurred to me that I was the only person who hadn't already seen months' worth of marketing materials.
Little by little, they had been led to accept this by drips and drabs of commercials, trailers, and TV interviews. Their minds had been so softened that they were willing to stare unflinchingly, even giggle and smile at the Black folkhines, as MegaBlack person (missing only a bone in his nose) besmirched the galaxy.
Lots of people debate about the exact moment when Star Wars died. I contend it was when that minstrel-looking sweaty jigaboo removed his helmet and revealed his Lovecraftian face.
Exquisite pasta
whoever came up with this is a good writer, props to him
That last bit got me at the end, 10/10.

I STOOD AGHAST

I get to "Black folkhines" and "MegaBlack person" before I fricking lose it every time. What were they thinking? Jump scare with a sweaty nignog in high definition? Nothing JarJar ever did or will ever do, could possibly have that degree of eye rape that Boyega inflicted on millions with his hideous missing link chimp face
/thread2
Why did they add this jump-scare?
When they showed this in the trailer originally, it really did just pause on his him standing there doing nothing as if to say "LOOK, HE'S BLACK".
That was the death of Hollywood right there.
based, only the first 3 are good
Incorrect. The only good movie is Star Wars and it's not called A New Hope.
>the moment it became more than just a flash gordan pastiche
understandable.
We were denied the better series of what could have been.
that part was funny. here is the real moment it died.
tpbp
Bingo.
Close. I say it was here in this pic. Because you can see it in George's. He knows what's coming.
>I may have gone too far
*freeze frame* so you may be wondering how I got into this situation
Reminds me of all the clips and interviews with Hamill.
never has absolute murderous intent been so perfectly captured in an image
He's just old and demented. He spent the rest of the time defending the movies against imaginary trolls and bots
Every public interview and convention appearance he had during these releases had Hamill consistently mentioning how he "fundamentally disagreed" with how Rian wrote and handled Luke. He's always been a pleasant public figure so of course he's not going to take away whatever enjoyment the kids got out of RotJ, he's going to say his piece and get a few laughs from it before letting everyone enjoy the rest of the discussion about the films.
It's like his mind was beginning to understand that maybe allying yourself with liberals and leftists who want to destroy childhood heroes wasn't the best idea.
Too bad that's as far as he got and then continued to blame DRUMPF for some reason.
is that milk withdrawal?
Haunting Photos Taken Moments Before Disaster
FACT!!!
I still don't get how this stupid obese manchild got so much influenced on star wars, especially on this board.
How can you praise JJ abrams srslly.
>stupid obese manchild got so much influenced on star wars
He didn't. Abrams was an obvious director choice.
are you kidding, this is great adventure movie type scene
kys (kiss your sister)
This scene is kino
Luke = Disney
Tit monster = star wars fandom
either leia force flying back into the ship or luke meditating a force ghost lightyears away to fight kylo instead of flying there himself, the milk was dumb but it didn't bother me like that last one
The hologram would have been cool if it didn't an hero Luke. Fun little twist
yeah the death did make it worse, very unceremonious
That wasn't a hologram. Note the slight discrepancy in height between the two instances of Luke.
it's just a space cow, hes a hermit now, this conveys that message well. there was so much worse in this movie to get butt-blasted over.
Didn't they create a giant puppet and fly it to the island, costing something like $10 million? Hilarious what Johnson could get away with because the production had no oversight whatsoever from executives.
I'm glad he killed Star Wars in one movie, otherwise the Mouse could have been pumping out reheated shit for decades. Better a quick death than a slow one.
Kino
Literally the best scene in the franchise. You will never be a woman.
The kid in this scene is George's son
Why did George have his son killed in a movie?
Kino
Prequels had some dumb concepts and were badly acted, but the fandom thrived during it. Were an active and flourishing book, video game, RPG, fanfic comics, toy, etc. scene. Now Star Wars is 100% dead from apathy. Nobody even gets outraged/angry anymore.
TLJ 100% killed star wars and created the apathy we see today
The Jedi outcast games, kotor games
Two SW mmos
That SW 3d cartoon
Prequel wars were the times
Did any of those except for TCW have anything really to do with the prequels? Kotor is the most obvious example. There's a concept I wish I could reintroduce to hollywood, called "mystery". Darth Maul for example has gaps
people can fill in.
>How is he a Sith? Who is he? Why is his technique different?
He's from some ancient race of some faraway planet with a special sword, and thousands of other things anyone can expand on.
Mysterious, open-ended storytelling creates connection points for new content.
compare that with
>we've established there's less than five remaining force users, to avoid pissing off fans we'll only invent one
>therefore, Leia's son has to be the new Vader and Rai has to be the new Luke
>Recycle Han, Luke, Palpatine and close off every storyline
The one and only.
The Force is genetic. Thanks lads, we can all go home now. Wtf were they thinking?
>boomies still butthurt over midichlorians to this day
You'd think Disney SW would've humbled you guys by now but I guess prequel hate is just a cult at this point among your kind.
The sequels being shit doesn't suddenly make the prequels better.
It does actually.
>It does actually.
What does My Left Foot have to do with Star Wars?
That's a totally different movie.
Posting wojaks wont make his argument wrong
Sometimes you need to experience true shit to appreciate mediocre movies
I never watched the last prequel or the disney movies
Wait til you find out who Anakin's son is
It was always genetic LOL why do you think everyone can't use it
idk how you can create something, and then completely forget the point of the thing you created.
This was my original scapegoat for TPM, I remember everyone I knew picking a different thing to complain about and mine was midichlorians. One of my friends hated how completely harmless the droid enemies are and the other hated Jar-Jar.
The force was always genetic. It can't be "strong" in some families unless it is. I have no idea where anyone got the impression that anyone could be a Jedi of they trained hard enough.
You can kinda see how this would piss off boomer geeks that aspired to be laser swordsmen
This, the concept of midichlorians took a big dump on most Americans idea of of being to achieve greatness just by trying/believing hard enough in something it offended them on a deeply personal level that any average joe couldn't become a Jedi so they lashed out out in impotent nerd rage which lead to Lucas selling SW to Disney in the end.
>the billionaire filmmaker sold his most precious creation to one of the greediest corporations on the planet because a bunch of nerds b***hed about him on the Internet
You realize this doesn't make Lucas look good, right?
It didn't bother anyone because "it's genetic", it bothered people that they made it crudely mechanistic sci-fi. Like you could cut off Jake Lloyd's head and put his corpse in a centrifuge and fractionalize out the midichlorians to make a force booster shot
Man you guys would've really been upset if we got the Lucas version of the sequels where the force is actually just controlled by extra dimensional israelites aka The Whills who feed off the force and use force users as unwitting vehicles to keep their food source flowing.
I heard about that, but I think after the prequels I'd welcome schizo stuff
I'd agree with you considering the sequels quality. But in that scenario you don't have that luxury. You go straight from Revenge of the Sith to learning about the whills.
Shut up nerds. It basically turned jedi into mutants, as in capeshit. The spiritual growth went out the window.
What’s wrong with this
Turned the Force into DBZ power level shit
>His midichlorian count is over 9000!
They always talked about how strong the force is in someone yet you start to take issue when numbers are added
the point of star wars is that it is a well-executed space opera, not a "you have this much of magic serum X in your bloodstream"
Except it still is all that midichlorians was just a small thing to try and make the force make more sense it basically has zero impact on anything in the movies the fact that so many boomers/xoomers got so ass mad over some minor background lore change never made any sense.
The Force = Faith
Not fricking Midichlorians
Midichlorians are not the force, he says this in the scene
So Rocky would never win from Drago. That's not why you go to movies.
>christgays btfo by materialist explanation for force powers
its really just about religeongays being upset isn't it?
>christgays btfo
I mean, were they really? Anakin was literally a virgin birth...
>virgin birth created by evil sith lord
wouldn't that be considered sacrilegious if anything?
>Force = Faith
Not true, not mentioned anywhere in the OT. Meanwhile Luke specifically mentions the force being strong in his family.
I swear you all imagined becoming Jedi so much that you gaslit yourselves into thinking if you believed in the force, you'd become a Jedi. Where the frick did that idea come from?
>Not true, not mentioned anywhere in the OT.
Shut up nerd. Why did Luke throw himself into the abyss?
Explaining that the force flows through everything, even microscopic organisms, does not take away from the space opera
>Explaining
This was never needed. Its fricking space magic. any explanation is superfluous.
It doesn’t explain the force
The force is still mysterious space magic
Liam Neeson explicitly says the force comes from midichlorians
The funniest thing about this is that midichlorians don't even matter. They're a plot device that only functions to tell us how super duper special Anakin is. It's beyond lazy.
That, but the Midichlorians explanation he gives later on mirrors the Naboo people and the gungans. People and Midichlorians work together for mutual advantage, life could not exist without relying on eachother. Same thing for the Naboo and the gungans, they must work together and rely on eachother to gain freedom from the trade federation. Kino
No. 2 in the top 3 SW killer list.
What's number 1?
Why are all important jedi/sith human males?
Bingo.
I still remember the reaction to this in the theater. It's meant to be a joke, but there was absolute silence.
That's a good one.
And then they made it worse.
Either that or this. It doomed Star Wars to be a small-scale family drama.
He wasn't referring to Leia at the time Luke was supposed to originally fall to the dark side with his sister on the other side of the galaxy being the true savior but it all got scrapped and he just decided to make Leia his sister for convenience hence al the weird love triangle shit in the first two movies.
Adding a 2nd young woman character definitely wouldn't have hurt.
George murdered Star Wars in 1999. Everyone knows this.
>tried to ruin his series
>made kino instead
Credits will do fine.
This is it to me, too. However, as a Brand I think my OP is the moment. Or that black guy from the trailer, in this moment it was clear they wanted to trigger some morons and divide the fanbase
my guy, most people who reas this were kids watching this they LOVE the prequels because of nostalgia
>my guy
Suck my nuts
At least it was meme worthy and you had some ideas (sure dumbs). And you had some great moments (pod racing).
correct
I quite enjoy the first few minutes of TPM. The real bullshit starts when they land on naboo
>There was no father
Bravo Lucas you fricking hack. The moment we meet skinless Threepio is also indicative of everything wrong with Star Wars, so that's a good choice too.
What's the issue, moronic homosexual?
What was the narrative reasoning for Anakin being Space Jesus?
Your lack of brain cells.
underrated
>2nd of new trilogy
>Kylo attacking moms ship
>They sense eachother
>Tension
>He hesitates
>Random other pilot fires
>Oh shit she's dead
>What's kylo going to do now?
>How will this affect h-
>She fly's back inside the ship and is fine
It was so ridiculous, ruined what could of been the start of some great character development. The way she just glided back in was so fricking goofy looking too
>could of
midwit detected
Oh no, the hermit living off the land milked a cow.
Most Star Wars fans especially here are mouth breathers so I love to see how they're still assblasted by Luke drinking some alien milk like he didn't drink the blue milk that probably came from an alien in ANH.
It was just a dumb gross out comedy scene
People did get overly mad about it though
The entire movie was
>character assassination for a cheap laugh
The milk scene was where cinemas world wide rolled their eyes
>akshually the SW fans who don't accept le Disney slop are the REAL mouthbreathers!
lol, lmao even
Your mama joke, TLJ.
>The Kinoest of villain
>Doesn't say a word. Other characters talk about these mythical creatures and do the worldbuilding for them
>Let's kill him after 10 minutes of screentime
>But not before giving him an epic fight
Back when George was based.
Look at that shitty fricking costume, look at those fricking hornes man.
What an overrated character lmao, I guess he was the least shitty thing about PM
What I don't get is how Darth Maul and The Emperor are both Sith. One is a ninja and the other is an old fart flashing lightning. Whatever, I opted out when it was still halfway decent.
I've never said it, but yeah, i have honestly never understood why people liked this character so much.
Even as a kid I didnt get it, Vader was so much cooler then the guy with the painted face.
thought it was fricking dumb when the cartoons brought him back.
He was going to come back as the main villain in the Lucas sequels actually with Darth Talon as his apprentice.
would
boba feet first appearance it goes downhill from there
When they hired poor people to be Rey at Disneyworld
They were better than the original you fricking Eunuch
I can give you the webm.
>creature literally gives Daisy Ridley a Flintstones-esque "it's a living!" look
Holy shit I didn't realize how bad the sequels actually were, never seen them
>a fricking earring
Ewoks
> ... My entire life ...
bros
Return of the Jedi was terrible. It solidified mediocrity, infantile tendencies, creative bankruptcy and retcon mindset.
Boba Fett's pathetic death, Han Solo not dying, Ewoks, second Death Star, neutering Darth Vader, Leia being Luke's sister (somehow I've always known, lmao), Obi-Wan's ghost sitting on a fricking log — all of this shit carried into the prequels and beyond but x1000. Return of the Jedi is utter garbage.
I like RotJ, but I can accept it isn't a good movie. There are parts that I think are genuinely good, but it's a definite letdown.
The throne room is the peak of all Star Wars, everything else is garbage
No, it isn't. Emperor has nothing on Luke. There is nothing to seduce him with. He had already jumped in the pit in the previous film. There is also this entire "if you are angry you become evil forever, lmao!" And the entire shit hinges on that nonsensical "Leia was actually his sister all along" retcon.
the fascinating thing about rotj is its like 3 separate movies awkwardly bolted together. the saving han part, whatever happens in the woods, and then the throne room sequence. there's no coherent thread between the disparate parts and it's like someone just gave up. it's simultaneously the least stars wars movie with them wandering around by some redwoods but then also peak with jabba's palace and the throne room
there's a certain apathy in that movie that just bleeds out on multiple levels. a lot of the actors look like they are just done with it, especially harrison ford. feels like george was done with it from a writing point of a view because around a third of the movie is spent undoing the ending of empire and confirming han isn't dead (probably to sell more han action figures), luke goes back to yoda and yoda tells him to frick off and fight darth vader and then he just dies, han solo has nothing to do in the whole movie, and the bit chaining the middle act with the final act is luke just going eh, i guess i _will_ just go fight darth vader.
it's just such a weird movie but i do concede there are some genuinely good bits. i can't work if the above issues stem from people being genuinely tired with it or aspects of it were just rushed or both.
>a third of the movie is spent undoing the ending of empire and confirming han isn't dead
wtf are you talking about, they explicitly tell you Han didn't die in empire
"Well Calrissian, is he alive?"
"Yes, he's alive and in perfect hibernation"
See how everyone has different answers across every single star wars shit made over 40 years? Perhaps, Star Wars was never good.
https://vocaroo.com/1oVpp1GrLV9J
"star wars was never good" is a tactic used by modern disney shills I've been noticing.
stfu loser
>what have we done
don't have an exact frame at hand but the moment star wars died is whenever george decided to retcon darth vader as the most powerful and most important and the central point of the whole universe and shoe horning in the """prophecy"""
this pic is where Lucas lost me.
Freudian stuff is annoyingly boring.
this scene, or maybe Solo and others going out in space in an asteroid with no masks on, since the atmosphere on said asteroid was supposed to be breathable...
or noises of intergalactic vessels...: noises in space...
When they wheeled out Hamill right after plastic surgery and threw him in that awful Christmas Special
for me it's the obviously mass-produced plastic bottle
The sequels died at this line for me. What were they thinking?
Seriously what were they thinking? He just watched countless people die
The whole thing with Max von Sydow being some wise old guy everybody knew and had "secrets" to hide for the Republic but the audience having no fricking clue who he was did not help things.
I wish I could relive the day this image leaked on Cinemaphile
>muh tlj
TFA is garbage, maybe even worse
Star Wars at its core is literally just about facing death with dignity. Obi-Wan and Anakin face their respective ends with acceptance while Palpatine rages impotently as he is thrown into a chasm. Luke's victory ultimately comes from his willingness to lay down his life to remain a Jedi to the end.
None of the deaths in ST were dignified, and Rey was never put in a situation like Luke, so they aren't true to the one theme that actually mattered.
Anything else is just pseud nonsense.
there's a complete lack of spirituality because jj is a wannabe fratboy israelite and rian is a mentally stunted leftist nerd cuck
>If only you knew how bad things really are
1. It was mortally wounded by the special editions
2. The fan reaction to the prequels didn't help, but even TFA wasn't the death blow
3. Even TLJ didn't kill it, but it absolutely was strike 3
Star Wars became a joke when Palpatine appeared in Fortnite to announce his otherwise off-screen resurrection. TFA leans very hard on the possible future movies, and TLJ didn't give it footing, basically made TFA unfounded, and TLJ itsself leans on the final act being good, this was so ridiculous that RoS can hardly have been expected to be good, but the fact that RoS did not make a coherent trilogy ultimately retroactively determined that nothing after RotS has been an actual contribution to the series as a whole. At best the sequels and spinoffs can be handwaved as benign, but they are both obscene tumors on the original series.
1. Special editions weren’t great, agreed
2. The prequels are objectively not good movies but holy shit did they spawn a Renaissance for the franchise
3. TLJ killed it as any sort of culturally relevant force
Star Wars fundamentally was the vision of George Lucas and a few of his close associates, it died when he stopped giving input on the saga. TFA put it on life support as everyone huffed all the “its just setting up for something great” copium they could get their hands on, and then the manlet subverted our expectations by killing it for good. ROS was just parading its (and Palpatine’s) corpse through the town square
Pretty much. Star Wars has been coasting on goodwill for the OT for decades and people have their limit.
Star Wars lives, Nu wars, filoni wars, etc. Are stillborn
Book of Boba Fett is the only Star Wars content I can say is absolutely shit, to the point it completely ruined the s2 ending of the Mandalorian and s3
>it ruined the ending of fanfiction crap #1 and fanfiction crap #2
oh no! anyways
Special Edition and Episode 1.
