Jar Jar is kinda based in retrospect as a accurate depiction of a "black coded character". Annoying, incompetent, low IQ, a true Black folkaurus. Still has way more cultural impact than anything from NuWars. Women are even more cancerous for the franchise than Jar Jar as it turns out lmao.
>Lucascels defend shit like midiclorians and anakin being space jesus
No one did that moron, people thought it was dumb then and still do. Prequels had some pretty good things but a lot of shit too, nobody ever pretended otherwise, but Disney-wars is pure shit.
I have seen numerous people defend the moronic prophecy/Chosen One shit even recently -- both as part of a defense of Acolyte and a reason to reject Acolyte. Prequelgays are that way.
>I have seen numerous people defend the moronic prophecy/Chosen One shit even recently -- both as part of a defense of Acolyte and a reason to reject Acolyte. Prequelgays are that way.
we're buckbroken by living with the prophecy bullshit for 25 years. it's just background silliness like jizz music now.
>only s0i sisters wanna talk about midiclorians and how they “ruined” Star Wars >sees no issue with retcon after retcon just because why not
At least Lucas didn’t do back flips and shit on his own previous ideas
Disney will write something and then write it off in the next episode. The reason no one likes this shit or watches nuwars is cause it sucks. It’s flat out bad, it’s not good. There’s nothing interesting about it. There’s nothing FUN about it. There’s nothing to brood on. There’s no contemplation. There’s no situation where anyone would say “would I have done this differently?” Because it’s not compelling enough to even get your brain to enjoy thinking about it. It comes and goes, just like marvel films and shows. All meaningless.
Anon, we defend that because it's the original author aka Georges vision
This show and previous ones are literally self inserts, trying to convey a political message from our world
We dont want to be reminded of the bullshit thats going on
At least the fandom managed to salvage midiclorians by saying that it's not what give the force, but it feeds off the force, meaning someone with a high midiclorian count implies that they are extremely force sensitive.
I dunno if the fandom can or even cares to fansplain anything nu-wars does.
the fandom didn't create that, it's literally the dialogue qui-gon delivers in the phantom menace
people lash out at the midichlorians because they're too moronic to understand simple dialogue >they live in your cells and communicate with the force >WHAT DO YOU MEAN MIDICHLORIANS ARE THE FORCE
is a typical midwit take on this subject
not only that but shit like acolyte and mandalorian also directly/indirectly defend midichlorians
remember "M count" in mando? and they did a blood test in acolyte
When Star Wars was in development, Lucas was thinking about a version of the Force that would be more scientific-sounding and more explained. He wrote about an "energy field" and a "kiber crystal", a kind of artifact that contained and radiates the energy. Of course, none of this made it into A New Hope where the Force is low-key and mystical, a better fit for fantasy, but in Lucas's mind pulpy sci-fi ideas like those have always been part of the fabric of Star Wars which is why he eventually gave us midichlorians and why he sees nothing wrong in that.
>none of this made it into A New Hope >"It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together."
My issue with midichlorians has always been that they're half-baked and introduced to wank Anakin alongside the similarly tacked on and half-baked prophecy. The prequels have bigger issues than midichlorians--even in terms of background story--but they're emblematic of how Lucas's creative impulses can backfire or go nowhere.
no one defends midiclorians. your opinion is invalid.
Midichlorians are fine.
They are just the in universe scientific reason why only a small amount of people can actually channel the Force, while the vast majority of people cannot do so. They're not the Force, itself.
Angry Joe says he has experience in amateur/community theater, and that's exactly what he says this episode is like. He says that kids who couldn't act well will do "interpretive dance" shit to distract, and that's what the episode does the entire time.
>this describes literally all of Star Wars, except for a little of Mando and Andor
anon please
george was at his best when he was editing the films but his camera angles were god tier and his use of technobabble mixed with shakespeare was the end all be all
the blackolyte reads off like a young adult novel where the chapter suddenly ends and we're given a B plot out of nowhere only for it to be totally useless
>even ignoring the fact that lucas very purposefully always told star wars in a continuing manner and specifically forbade the use of flashback, that was easily the worst point to do a flashback episode especially given how the second just magically fricking ends after we introduce the wookiee jedi
Andor uses flashbacks. Although those are arguably the worst part of the show.
>Andor uses flashbacks. Although those are arguably the worst part of the show.
that's my point, star wars is not meant to have flashbacks. there's a very specific style to how a star wars film is made and nobody at lucasfilm knows how to do it and they aren't stopping any new content creators from doing it either.
And what was even the purpose of a flashback episode when they already told us all the information in episode 1 and 2?
If they sprinkled the information that kept us guessing what happened, then maybe, but they already hit us with a freight train of exposition on what exactly happened in the earlier episodes that it's pointless to show it now.
Unless they're going to fake us out and do the ermm muh false narrator what we see isn't what ackshully happened bullshit.
my theory is darth plagueis/tenebrous will have been secretly observing the witch cult and picked up the idea for the force birth from them, or he will have been revealed to have given the black witch the idea in the first place and thus made her a semi acolyte in turn
that's the real big reveal of this series, is how and why the sith are operating the way they are, because that's the real lore being destroyed here, the sith specifically went into hiding and fooled the jedi into thinking they were totally destroyed while generation of master and apprentice flew by biding their time and plotting all along to build up to the moment when sheev could seize power without question

And there’s more flashbacks to come. We still have the inevitable confrontation between the witches and the Jedi.
My prediction is that both parties will arrive on the scene simultaneously and quickly blame each other for setting the fire. This misunderstanding will quickly spin out of control and lead to violence with the Jedi forced to kill all of the witches.
Bonus prediction: Jedi Tommen will do something stupid or reckless, causing an explosion that kills the witches and injures himself. He is the real murderer. The rest of the Jedi are merely guily of covering up the incident.

Covering it up from who? Jedi are mythical entities in canon. Period. Most living creatures probably don’t even believe the force exists. There’s maybe 10,000 Jedi in a galaxy of hundreds of billions.

The Jedi Council. Mae threatened Tommen with telling them the truth.
The writing is pretty good (by starwars metric).. But lets see where it goes, I thought it was a little weird to have the third episode be a flashback episode.
>What happens?Is it really that bad.
Imagine you give Star Wars to a bunch of college lesbians artsy hoes, and they try to redo the worst parts of the prequels, but lame and gay. Also they cast their gf (picrel) because why not.
I think this moment was oversold. Yeah it's cringe and stupid as frick, but if you thought Star Wars was still alive after the last 10 years, I don't see why this would be the breaking point.
>alright we've almost got her better split up >frick, a knee-high tree branch and my gout is acting up >frick, a chest-high tree branch and I just broke my hip yesterday
so good
I'm genuinely interested in Star Wars at this point from a sort of cultural anthropological angle. I'm curious how bad it's actually going to get, or how bad the viewers will allow it to get, before the franchise is utterly and completely dead.
>before the franchise is utterly and completely dead
Long-running Scifi/Fantasy franchises aren't allowed to die. There's too much money in them, even just from the perspective of the new shit making boomers nostalgic for the old gold (and thus buying merch and such).
Star Trek has been pretty dire since the early 2000s, and its fandom has kept itself alive on the occasional bright spot (like SW with Andor).
The Doctor Who people all seem to want to unalive themselves, but they'll still shill old books and dvds.
>like SW with Andor
i will call you homosexuals out every time i see you post
andor is just as pozzed as the rest of the franchise and good cinematography/casting does not elevate it

At some point the government needs to get involved and breakup Disney's monopoly they're just spreading religious cult insanity to young children. How the frick is all this communist bullshit allowed after hollywood purged these freaks.
>How the frick is all this communist bullshit allowed after hollywood purged these freaks.
the commies are the sith, they learned to hide and have been subtly influencing politics to fall in their favor over the years
What ended up happening is for decades the CIA and the KGB (and equivalents) mutually exchanged agents with each other. It was just par for the course, everyone infiltrating everyone else. The Soviets were all about Doomsday Plans. Plans where if Entity A falls, it will force Entity B to join it in death. They dedicated a ton of resources to this sort of planning. Well, one of those strategies was that in the event the Soviet Union fell, all infiltrators would continue on with their mission to subvert the west. They were in government, in the military, intelligence agencies, universities, businesses. All over the place. So when the Soviet Union fell, all of those agents had nothing to do, but carry out their final orders and that is exactly what you are witnessing.
It's all former agents from the USSR who have by now co-opted countless others to become unknowing pawns of that original order given to the initial infiltrators. They have functionally unlimited resources and it is all dedicated to destroying everything the United States stood for. Quite frankly I think they've already succeeded, but I don't think they're going to stop until it is undeniable. The U.S. will, almost certainly, become a Communist wasteland, Soviet Union 2.0. They already took Canada down and they are moving to close off the escape via Mexico in a similar way. The purpose is to prevent most people from escaping. The tax system in the U.S. has been totally dedicated to preventing you from ever meaningfully escaping the country. If you leave and go to Vietnam, you will still technically be property of the United Commune of America. It's unimaginably worse than most even realize.
>the russians are responsible for all the woke shit in hollywood
imagine believing this kek, fricking leftist chud absolutely SEETHING at how pathetic his side is, while you're right that you morons have been invaded by foreign groups it's now a generational thing and purely homegrown moron, there's nothing you can do to stop it short of a civil war
Took you a while. I'm really not your enemy though so your hostility isn't necessary. I will almost certainly be walking over your bones though by the time this is all said and done, so I guess in that sense, I understand how you might be frustrated enough to speak like that. Good luck in the days ahead.
Ehh the other guy isnt doing the ITS DA RUSSIANS thing the way modern leftists use it as an explanation for anything they dont like happening, look up yuri bezmenov.
It's amazing how little they show about the coven despite dedicating so much time to it. They obviously were never taught in writing school how to use their allotted time efficiently.
Without a consistent requirement for runtime, these directors just fall into their own navels. I noticed some episodes of Mando were under 30 minutes and some were almost an hour.
blockhead also has no idea how pacing works or the general flow of storytelling.
even ignoring the fact that lucas very purposefully always told star wars in a continuing manner and specifically forbade the use of flashback, that was easily the worst point to do a flashback episode especially given how the second just magically fricking ends after we introduce the wookiee jedi
on top of that, apart from the throwaway lines of "i carried them/i created them/there was no father" the entire episode was useless and told us nothing new

Just consider it a prequel to the previous two episodes.
A competent writer would not have revealed the twist about the main girl having an evil twin until much, much later. The show is billed as a mystery, but there is no mystery if you solve it for your audience in the first 20 minutes of the series. And it's not even a clever or inspired one at that. Having the main girl actually be evil, but able to convince everyone including the audience that she's not (the twist being that there is no twist, she actually did it) would have been far more kino.

The show reveals the twin shit in the first episode. In fact it feels like the writers were embarassed by even having twins in the first place considering how quickly they did it.
And the mystery around what happened on Brendok has been built with so little tension it is pointless. I know most people will disagree with me because ((Disney)) but there is a way of moving parts of this story around that may have actually interested people. Showing the twin murdering the Jedi is a quick way of removing all tension.

Why do these Disney Star Wars have the gayest fricking sayings. The only one from the OT that’s even close is “may the force be with you”. I don’t want to listen to some dipshit chanting awkward phrases.
I think that's the biggest sin here- how awkward and unquotable the memes are. There's no flow to this moronic chant at all, no catchy tempo or beat that lets it stay in your head- it's just this awkward, disjointed, singsongy chant that feels like it was the bullet points for the chant they intended to actually write later.
Like koo nee tang was fricking moronic, I'm not gonna argue, but at least it was catchy, had a flow, and felt like something someone actually put effort into, even if it was totally out of place for the scene.
"this is the way" is a successful meme that I've seen in YouTube comment sections under videos unrelated to Star Wars. It's shit, but it did travel.
That character you posted always looked obscene to me. Beneath his eyes, what I see there is a distended scrotum hanging above an open mouth, as though about to drop into it. Fricking hell, George, is this really appropriate for Return of the Jedi, the most kid-friendly of the three films?
This is the film where the bad-boy character Han is given almost nothing to do, the other bad boy Lando is given truly nothing, and the B story is Princess Leia's Teddy Bear Adventure starring Wicket. Even the film's darkest moment, when Luke confronts Vader in the throne room, has its darkness undercut by the overtly cartoonish antics of an Emperor who shoots wizard lightning from his fingertips.
One part I'd call dark is when Jabba is lustfully pulling his slave girls over for a licking and he ends up killing her for struggling. Despite Jabba being a muppet, this moment was pretty dark. Maybe that's why Lucas wanted to add the musical number in the special edition: to offset the gloom of the one edgy moment in the film.
>Maybe that's why Lucas wanted to add the musical number in the special edition
not to offset, he just saw an opportunity to do more star wars music shenanigans, notice how it's pretty much absent from the prequels but then has been unnecessarily brought back in disney wars?
The shitty power of troony scene isnt really supposed to be a musical number like koo nee tang, although it does have music and singing in it.
It's more like a scene from mayfair witches or sanctuary or even from charmed
Women are completely obssessed with the idea of their words altering reality.
I mean in a way that is literally what speaking does like the things you say can influence the world but for chicks it's like this moronic version of just saying the things they want to happen in a weird voice or maybe it rhymes badly or some shit and then their wish just materialises in front of them.
I know that suggesting even one slightly positive thing about the show makes me a pajeet esl chang disney shill troony, but I really liked the credits song for this episode.
Doesn't really fit Star Wars but it's better than most NuWars Giaccinoshit.
I think people miss the point of this stuff. It’s meant to fail, meant to insult you, and meant to ruin the franchise. These are the same people who tear down statues, destroy communities based on lies, and seek to “tear down the system”. That’s why unqualified people are out in charge of it.
i am mad we never got the thrawn trilogy as a movie after the OT
i am mad that legends is now non canon
and i am mad that star wars, something that has been loved for over 50 years gets shat on my a bunch of twitter trannies just to rub it into white peoples faces
you know anon we used to have a /wars/ general but some turbosperg went apeshit and abused some sort of mod privilege in getting threads shut down on a regular basis so they died off
>primitive languages spoken by near-human primates
what headcanon is this? did this moron play far cry primal and assume that every old language was like that?
It's well known that crows can only count to three, and that many other animals can't differentiate past two or three. Anything more than three just gets lumped in as "many". Also, I think some tribes in the Amazon have a similar counting system.
Can you imagine the sort of bloodbath that will take place if the U.S. formally declares itself an enemy of Marxism? Or even just a president that speaks aggressively against it to whip the enormous of amount of Marxists in the country into a violent frenzy and enables them to be summarily put down.
this might actually be a true nail in the coffin moment for disney. even casual viewers are getting weirded out and confused by these vanity pieces. I had family that watches anything disney say they dropped it. if it wasnt for the fact that they would magically forget how bad it is and then move onto the next sw thing I'd say disney was in trouble.

Already turned it off. >Trinity is already dead despite being the face of the show in one of the dumbest ways possible. >The black chick, despite being a hottie, is le anti-hero instead of a sith.
Killing a character off who you think is going to be a more main character is fine, ala Scream or whatever. And they planned to show her in the flashbacks anyway. The problem is she is a non fricking character who barely says anything and isn't memorable at all. It is literally "oh hey it is trinity" followed by a boring fight. She is so flat she is a sheet of paper.
I love how all these years have been leading up to this kind of shit fest. >take away dislike buttons, dislikes etc >pay reviewers with either cash or promises of early screenings and events for good reviews >create social media marketing campaigns using bots and paid shills >gaslight audience about some bloated problem of toxic fans, antiwoke posts, etc >use streaming service as a cover for these projects so you cant vote via wallet directly anymore >obscure success vs failure bars to the point no one knows if something flopped >keep repeating 'itll get better next week', 'just wait and see, itll be worth it in the end and explain everything'
this wont kill disney or star wars, but they only have so many more of these flops and declining subscribers before they have to turn the ship around.
Yeah I'm more interested in how they're going to top black lesbians using the force to impregnate each other because they're oppressed by whitey.
The dialectic must progress.
>I don't like this so I will not watch this >anon, you cant say you dont like it unless you watch it!
its the perfect loop logic for an npc. remove the avenue of failure and you will never make a bad product.
This episode was comically bad. It functions as Star Wars answer to the Timeless Child in that it is a major canonical retcon. And given that this is Disney, the retcon will remain in place as part of the lore until Disney collapses and the IPs are auctioned off. Once again because: No. One. At. Disney. Can. Admit. To. Making. A. Mistake.
The episode opens on the Planet of the Space Lesbian Witches. How do I know they are witches because they explicitly state they are witches. The protagonist and antagonist are introduced as a set of young identical twins (girls naturally because there are no men at all on this idyllic world). The Space Lesbians have secret knowledge of the Force. The Force is actually, quite literally, female. The twins have two mothers, one who was their birth mother and the one that knocked her up using the Force. I should point out that the birth mother is from Darth Maul’s race but the twins look like black humans. Indicating their birth mother had no genetic input.
There is a lecture held on the womanly power of the Force. It’s not a “force” at all as that is far too masculine of a concept, it is in fact a thread that sews the cosmos together and it can be tugged upon to accomplish certain… This is all Wicca stuff, if you’ve ever become acquainted with that neopagan Marxist bullshit of a “religion” you’ll recognize the concepts pretty quickly. Space Lesbian Witches are the true and uncorrupted Force users.
There is a constant motif throughout this episode. “The power of one. The power of two. The power of many.”

i don't mean to sound like i'm defending the show but this fits right in with george's concept of the force. what's wrong is that people misinterpret the show as retconning what the force is. what the black witch says is not a retroactive continuity of the overall concept of the force, it is merely her character's concept of the force as she perceives it. in oedipus he learns of the awful destiny he is bound to and does what he can to deny it while accidentally fulfilling it. black witch thinks she can play with destiny and teach the niglets to also play with destiny but it is literally their destiny to play with destiny, that's what a lot of people are missing here.

Direct quote from Obi-Wan in the first movie: >It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.
We know already but still. What a frick up.
said there is nothing new, that's the problem. They simply pretend that in the past people took a more masculine and aggressive view on the Force just to correct with a more "feminine and mystical" explanation that is the exact same thing Obi-Wan said in the first movie. The show is dishonest like everything in Nu-Wars, it's the same "it was made for boys only and it was bad, now the Force is Female and it's good!" when in fact Star Wars was always for everyone.

The show literally takes a bunch of Lucas lore from prequels and TCW into a blender with all their modern political sensibilities. I didn't like it. But to say it is lore breaking is silly. All the old EU did the exact same thing, take a bunch of existing Star Wars shit and blend it together with a variety of results. In some ways things change and in others they stay the same. Frick the witch from the old Ewok movie is now a nightsister in some attempt at cannon explanation.
I'd agree with this. It doesn't really frick the lore in the way that Rian Johnson did with the lightspeed kamikaze, its just weird and gay and woke. Really its just more trash for me to ignore so it doesn't matter anyway.

is it weird i find it more problematic that the show doesn't rape the lore like i was led to believe it would? like i wanted the show to be full on "white men bad, the force is female" and instead i get next to no white men to be mad at and they aren't even lesbians

And yet "women good/men bad" is meant to be the agenda? The agenda is just diverse casting and milquetoast plotting.
In their eternal pursuit of diversity and inclusivity Disney managed to make a show where even in a galaxy far, far away…the black kids still don’t have a Father.
That's a fricking talent.

This. Worst shit that was done to Star Wars was by "Phantom Menance" by Jar Jar Binks, fricking midichlorians and annoying child.
So far I like "Acolyte" very much, but Star Wars isn't political or religious thing for me, opposite for the americans / Black folk.

Trannies and boomers are two faces of the same prequel hating coin

Of course, none of this made it into A New Hope where the Force is low-key and mystical, a better fit for fantasy, but in Lucas's mind pulpy sci-fi ideas like those have always been part of the fabric of Star Wars which is why he eventually gave us midichlorians and why he sees nothing wrong in that.
>none of this made it into A New Hope
>"It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together."
My issue with midichlorians has always been that they're half-baked and introduced to wank Anakin alongside the similarly tacked on and half-baked prophecy. The prequels have bigger issues than midichlorians--even in terms of background story--but they're emblematic of how Lucas's creative impulses can backfire or go nowhere.
Midichlorians are fine.
They are just the in universe scientific reason why only a small amount of people can actually channel the Force, while the vast majority of people cannot do so. They're not the Force, itself.
Lucas is the literal creator of the star wars universe you shit eating moron, and nobody liked midichlorians
I for one thought it was stunning and brave to cast a black womxn in the lead.

What happens?Is it really that bad.
It's been accurately described as "community theater" and "student film."
considering how gay it is that's so fricking spot-on it gives me a fricking migraine
Angry Joe says he has experience in amateur/community theater, and that's exactly what he says this episode is like. He says that kids who couldn't act well will do "interpretive dance" shit to distract, and that's what the episode does the entire time.
most of the acting is passable
it's the directing, writing and editing that's amateur as frick
>most of the acting is passable
>it's the directing, writing and editing that's amateur as frick
this describes literally all of Star Wars, except for a little of Mando and Andor
>this describes literally all of Star Wars, except for a little of Mando and Andor
anon please
george was at his best when he was editing the films but his camera angles were god tier and his use of technobabble mixed with shakespeare was the end all be all
the blackolyte reads off like a young adult novel where the chapter suddenly ends and we're given a B plot out of nowhere only for it to be totally useless
>Andor uses flashbacks. Although those are arguably the worst part of the show.
that's my point, star wars is not meant to have flashbacks. there's a very specific style to how a star wars film is made and nobody at lucasfilm knows how to do it and they aren't stopping any new content creators from doing it either.
my theory is darth plagueis/tenebrous will have been secretly observing the witch cult and picked up the idea for the force birth from them, or he will have been revealed to have given the black witch the idea in the first place and thus made her a semi acolyte in turn
that's the real big reveal of this series, is how and why the sith are operating the way they are, because that's the real lore being destroyed here, the sith specifically went into hiding and fooled the jedi into thinking they were totally destroyed while generation of master and apprentice flew by biding their time and plotting all along to build up to the moment when sheev could seize power without question
And there’s more flashbacks to come. We still have the inevitable confrontation between the witches and the Jedi.
My prediction is that both parties will arrive on the scene simultaneously and quickly blame each other for setting the fire. This misunderstanding will quickly spin out of control and lead to violence with the Jedi forced to kill all of the witches.
Bonus prediction: Jedi Tommen will do something stupid or reckless, causing an explosion that kills the witches and injures himself. He is the real murderer. The rest of the Jedi are merely guily of covering up the incident.
Covering it up from who? Jedi are mythical entities in canon. Period. Most living creatures probably don’t even believe the force exists. There’s maybe 10,000 Jedi in a galaxy of hundreds of billions.
>Covering it up from who?
The Jedi Council. Mae threatened Tommen with telling them the truth.
The writing is pretty good (by starwars metric).. But lets see where it goes, I thought it was a little weird to have the third episode be a flashback episode.
>The writing is pretty good (by starwars metric)
frick no it isn't get that shit take out of here you disney reddiBlack person
>The writing is pretty good
>The writing is pretty good (by starwars metric)
Come on now.
>What happens?Is it really that bad.
just watch the first 20 seconds of this video
only the first 20 seconds
its all you need to get what is wrong with disney SW
WTF
>What happens?Is it really that bad.
Imagine you give Star Wars to a bunch of college lesbians artsy hoes, and they try to redo the worst parts of the prequels, but lame and gay. Also they cast their gf (picrel) because why not.
I think this moment was oversold. Yeah it's cringe and stupid as frick, but if you thought Star Wars was still alive after the last 10 years, I don't see why this would be the breaking point.
Weird take.
>OH NO, it's Flea

I'm genuinely interested in Star Wars at this point from a sort of cultural anthropological angle. I'm curious how bad it's actually going to get, or how bad the viewers will allow it to get, before the franchise is utterly and completely dead.
Are you viewing it in context to the direction all media is going or focussing on a case study?
can't have one without the other. star wars has been such a constant presence in cinema that it tends to cause a ripple effect.
Let me know when/where you publish your study.
>before the franchise is utterly and completely dead
Long-running Scifi/Fantasy franchises aren't allowed to die. There's too much money in them, even just from the perspective of the new shit making boomers nostalgic for the old gold (and thus buying merch and such).
Star Trek has been pretty dire since the early 2000s, and its fandom has kept itself alive on the occasional bright spot (like SW with Andor).
The Doctor Who people all seem to want to unalive themselves, but they'll still shill old books and dvds.
>like SW with Andor
i will call you homosexuals out every time i see you post
andor is just as pozzed as the rest of the franchise and good cinematography/casting does not elevate it
>be politically utopian lesbian feminist witch coven with no men
>flourish in harmony and happiness
>discover the way to use the Mother Godess Thread's to create life without the need of men
>create perfect female force users to carry on our legacy
>evil patriarchal chuds, the fascistic religious inquisitors call Jedi, show up and frick everything
troonysisters, this shit hits really hard
Is that actually what this show is about? That doesn't isn't recognisable as Star Wars, which used to be WW2 in space.
100%. No exaggeration at all. That's a pretty objective summary of the latest episode of The Acolyte. It's beyond Rian Johnson levels of ogre.
KK truly has a chip on her shoulder to keep encouraging shit like this.
At some point the government needs to get involved and breakup Disney's monopoly they're just spreading religious cult insanity to young children. How the frick is all this communist bullshit allowed after hollywood purged these freaks.
The government is part of team globohomosexual anon, and full on with the same agenda. We're alone.
>How the frick is all this communist bullshit allowed after hollywood purged these freaks.
the commies are the sith, they learned to hide and have been subtly influencing politics to fall in their favor over the years
What ended up happening is for decades the CIA and the KGB (and equivalents) mutually exchanged agents with each other. It was just par for the course, everyone infiltrating everyone else. The Soviets were all about Doomsday Plans. Plans where if Entity A falls, it will force Entity B to join it in death. They dedicated a ton of resources to this sort of planning. Well, one of those strategies was that in the event the Soviet Union fell, all infiltrators would continue on with their mission to subvert the west. They were in government, in the military, intelligence agencies, universities, businesses. All over the place. So when the Soviet Union fell, all of those agents had nothing to do, but carry out their final orders and that is exactly what you are witnessing.
It's all former agents from the USSR who have by now co-opted countless others to become unknowing pawns of that original order given to the initial infiltrators. They have functionally unlimited resources and it is all dedicated to destroying everything the United States stood for. Quite frankly I think they've already succeeded, but I don't think they're going to stop until it is undeniable. The U.S. will, almost certainly, become a Communist wasteland, Soviet Union 2.0. They already took Canada down and they are moving to close off the escape via Mexico in a similar way. The purpose is to prevent most people from escaping. The tax system in the U.S. has been totally dedicated to preventing you from ever meaningfully escaping the country. If you leave and go to Vietnam, you will still technically be property of the United Commune of America. It's unimaginably worse than most even realize.
>the russians are responsible for all the woke shit in hollywood
imagine believing this kek, fricking leftist chud absolutely SEETHING at how pathetic his side is, while you're right that you morons have been invaded by foreign groups it's now a generational thing and purely homegrown moron, there's nothing you can do to stop it short of a civil war
Took you a while. I'm really not your enemy though so your hostility isn't necessary. I will almost certainly be walking over your bones though by the time this is all said and done, so I guess in that sense, I understand how you might be frustrated enough to speak like that. Good luck in the days ahead.
i'm not even that same anon lol i'm just a regular guy, also you'll be dead before me
Ehh the other guy isnt doing the ITS DA RUSSIANS thing the way modern leftists use it as an explanation for anything they dont like happening, look up yuri bezmenov.

It's amazing how little they show about the coven despite dedicating so much time to it. They obviously were never taught in writing school how to use their allotted time efficiently.
Without a consistent requirement for runtime, these directors just fall into their own navels. I noticed some episodes of Mando were under 30 minutes and some were almost an hour.
blockhead also has no idea how pacing works or the general flow of storytelling.
even ignoring the fact that lucas very purposefully always told star wars in a continuing manner and specifically forbade the use of flashback, that was easily the worst point to do a flashback episode especially given how the second just magically fricking ends after we introduce the wookiee jedi
on top of that, apart from the throwaway lines of "i carried them/i created them/there was no father" the entire episode was useless and told us nothing new
>even ignoring the fact that lucas very purposefully always told star wars in a continuing manner and specifically forbade the use of flashback, that was easily the worst point to do a flashback episode especially given how the second just magically fricking ends after we introduce the wookiee jedi
Andor uses flashbacks. Although those are arguably the worst part of the show.
And what was even the purpose of a flashback episode when they already told us all the information in episode 1 and 2?
If they sprinkled the information that kept us guessing what happened, then maybe, but they already hit us with a freight train of exposition on what exactly happened in the earlier episodes that it's pointless to show it now.
Unless they're going to fake us out and do the ermm muh false narrator what we see isn't what ackshully happened bullshit.
>even ignoring the fact that lucas very purposefully always told star wars in a continuing manner and specifically forbade the use of flashback
Just consider it a prequel to the previous two episodes.
A competent writer would not have revealed the twist about the main girl having an evil twin until much, much later. The show is billed as a mystery, but there is no mystery if you solve it for your audience in the first 20 minutes of the series. And it's not even a clever or inspired one at that. Having the main girl actually be evil, but able to convince everyone including the audience that she's not (the twist being that there is no twist, she actually did it) would have been far more kino.
Evil twin is the stupidest mystery ever, making it not about that twist is a good thing.
The show reveals the twin shit in the first episode. In fact it feels like the writers were embarassed by even having twins in the first place considering how quickly they did it.
And the mystery around what happened on Brendok has been built with so little tension it is pointless. I know most people will disagree with me because ((Disney)) but there is a way of moving parts of this story around that may have actually interested people. Showing the twin murdering the Jedi is a quick way of removing all tension.
It's teenage writer's first fanfic
>I know most people will disagree with me because ((Disney)) but there is a way of moving parts of this story around that may have actually interested people. Showing the twin murdering the Jedi is a quick way of removing all tension.
no you're absolutely right, there is a solid story in here but what we're getting is such a weak version of it
>Jedi has been brutally murdered.
>Sol and apprentice dispatched to investigate.
>Leads Sol to his former apprentice.
>And a mystery of where she was from.
>Make Sol your lead character rather than Osha/Mae.
If you're gonna have murder mystery themes, actually go for it.
South Park was right again omg
Why do these Disney Star Wars have the gayest fricking sayings. The only one from the OT that’s even close is “may the force be with you”. I don’t want to listen to some dipshit chanting awkward phrases.
THE SEA IS ALWAYS RIGHT
I AM ONE WITH THE FORCE
THE FORCE IS WITH ME
Nobody goes off track, nobody walks alone!
People were arguing Lucas's dialogue was whack
But honestly in comparisons to disney bullshit, lucas is like shakespear
I think that's the biggest sin here- how awkward and unquotable the memes are. There's no flow to this moronic chant at all, no catchy tempo or beat that lets it stay in your head- it's just this awkward, disjointed, singsongy chant that feels like it was the bullet points for the chant they intended to actually write later.
Like koo nee tang was fricking moronic, I'm not gonna argue, but at least it was catchy, had a flow, and felt like something someone actually put effort into, even if it was totally out of place for the scene.
"this is the way" is a successful meme that I've seen in YouTube comment sections under videos unrelated to Star Wars. It's shit, but it did travel.
That character you posted always looked obscene to me. Beneath his eyes, what I see there is a distended scrotum hanging above an open mouth, as though about to drop into it. Fricking hell, George, is this really appropriate for Return of the Jedi, the most kid-friendly of the three films?
the darkest of the original trilogy is the most kid friendly?
>the darkest of the original trilogy
This is the film where the bad-boy character Han is given almost nothing to do, the other bad boy Lando is given truly nothing, and the B story is Princess Leia's Teddy Bear Adventure starring Wicket. Even the film's darkest moment, when Luke confronts Vader in the throne room, has its darkness undercut by the overtly cartoonish antics of an Emperor who shoots wizard lightning from his fingertips.
One part I'd call dark is when Jabba is lustfully pulling his slave girls over for a licking and he ends up killing her for struggling. Despite Jabba being a muppet, this moment was pretty dark. Maybe that's why Lucas wanted to add the musical number in the special edition: to offset the gloom of the one edgy moment in the film.
>Maybe that's why Lucas wanted to add the musical number in the special edition
not to offset, he just saw an opportunity to do more star wars music shenanigans, notice how it's pretty much absent from the prequels but then has been unnecessarily brought back in disney wars?
The shitty power of troony scene isnt really supposed to be a musical number like koo nee tang, although it does have music and singing in it.
It's more like a scene from mayfair witches or sanctuary or even from charmed
Women are completely obssessed with the idea of their words altering reality.
I mean in a way that is literally what speaking does like the things you say can influence the world but for chicks it's like this moronic version of just saying the things they want to happen in a weird voice or maybe it rhymes badly or some shit and then their wish just materialises in front of them.
I know that suggesting even one slightly positive thing about the show makes me a pajeet esl chang disney shill troony, but I really liked the credits song for this episode.
Doesn't really fit Star Wars but it's better than most NuWars Giaccinoshit.
So the rule of 2 came from homosexual lesbos
Someone post the webm
I just cant anymore
I think people miss the point of this stuff. It’s meant to fail, meant to insult you, and meant to ruin the franchise. These are the same people who tear down statues, destroy communities based on lies, and seek to “tear down the system”. That’s why unqualified people are out in charge of it.
>schzoiding out
People like you will in the same breath say "Frick these billion dollar companies, they only care about profit". Both cant be true anon.
They are either profit hungry israelites or israelites rigging the system to make it fail on purpose. Pick a side, morons.

i am mad we never got the thrawn trilogy as a movie after the OT
i am mad that legends is now non canon
and i am mad that star wars, something that has been loved for over 50 years gets shat on my a bunch of twitter trannies just to rub it into white peoples faces
She's the reason
But some twitter queer at the helm and all you will get is basically twitter posts in live action
i'll stick around for andor but after that im out
I don't think andor s2 is avoiding the shit pipe line like it did before. its already been delayed, probably didnt pass disney-"quality" standards.
>be Big Harv's assistant

the frick does that even mean, they just copy pasted from their dykey wiccan larp sessions and forgot to add anything star wars.
>Magical space lesbian witches that don't need no man.
No matter what, Black folk will always end up without a daddy EVERY TIME.
I hope the asian female who wrote this garbage chokes on a spring roll and dies knowing she wrote this trash.
Star Wars is a dead IP. So dead it makes even going back to the old ones hard
Can you guys make a general instead of shitting up this already shit board with more shit. Noone is watching this show.
you know anon we used to have a /wars/ general but some turbosperg went apeshit and abused some sort of mod privilege in getting threads shut down on a regular basis so they died off
This was actually incredibly deep allusion to real life
>primitive languages spoken by near-human primates
what headcanon is this? did this moron play far cry primal and assume that every old language was like that?
It's well known that crows can only count to three, and that many other animals can't differentiate past two or three. Anything more than three just gets lumped in as "many". Also, I think some tribes in the Amazon have a similar counting system.
Bros... why didn't the fricking Jedi, Sith, or Republic think about "plucking the force" and some SHEEITT to simply create force-sensitive babies?
Is this the power of WOMYN?
Can you imagine the sort of bloodbath that will take place if the U.S. formally declares itself an enemy of Marxism? Or even just a president that speaks aggressively against it to whip the enormous of amount of Marxists in the country into a violent frenzy and enables them to be summarily put down.
this might actually be a true nail in the coffin moment for disney. even casual viewers are getting weirded out and confused by these vanity pieces. I had family that watches anything disney say they dropped it. if it wasnt for the fact that they would magically forget how bad it is and then move onto the next sw thing I'd say disney was in trouble.
>surely this will be the final nail, not like the 20 other times we've said this
honestly agree with you, but ive never had disney adults let me know to avoid something before. Im actually caught off guard by it.

Already turned it off.
>Trinity is already dead despite being the face of the show in one of the dumbest ways possible.
>The black chick, despite being a hottie, is le anti-hero instead of a sith.
Killing a character off who you think is going to be a more main character is fine, ala Scream or whatever. And they planned to show her in the flashbacks anyway. The problem is she is a non fricking character who barely says anything and isn't memorable at all. It is literally "oh hey it is trinity" followed by a boring fight. She is so flat she is a sheet of paper.
This shit is gonna bomb so bad

>obscure success vs failure bars to the point no one knows if something flopped
>keep repeating 'itll get better next week', 'just wait and see, itll be worth it in the end and explain everything'
this wont kill disney or star wars, but they only have so many more of these flops and declining subscribers before they have to turn the ship around.
Yeah I'm more interested in how they're going to top black lesbians using the force to impregnate each other because they're oppressed by whitey.
The dialectic must progress.
>I don't like this so I will not watch this
>anon, you cant say you dont like it unless you watch it!
its the perfect loop logic for an npc. remove the avenue of failure and you will never make a bad product.
C'mon guys its Disney, obviously there are going to be some songs
This episode was comically bad. It functions as Star Wars answer to the Timeless Child in that it is a major canonical retcon. And given that this is Disney, the retcon will remain in place as part of the lore until Disney collapses and the IPs are auctioned off. Once again because: No. One. At. Disney. Can. Admit. To. Making. A. Mistake.
The episode opens on the Planet of the Space Lesbian Witches. How do I know they are witches because they explicitly state they are witches. The protagonist and antagonist are introduced as a set of young identical twins (girls naturally because there are no men at all on this idyllic world). The Space Lesbians have secret knowledge of the Force. The Force is actually, quite literally, female. The twins have two mothers, one who was their birth mother and the one that knocked her up using the Force. I should point out that the birth mother is from Darth Maul’s race but the twins look like black humans. Indicating their birth mother had no genetic input.
There is a lecture held on the womanly power of the Force. It’s not a “force” at all as that is far too masculine of a concept, it is in fact a thread that sews the cosmos together and it can be tugged upon to accomplish certain… This is all Wicca stuff, if you’ve ever become acquainted with that neopagan Marxist bullshit of a “religion” you’ll recognize the concepts pretty quickly. Space Lesbian Witches are the true and uncorrupted Force users.
There is a constant motif throughout this episode. “The power of one. The power of two. The power of many.”

i don't mean to sound like i'm defending the show but this fits right in with george's concept of the force. what's wrong is that people misinterpret the show as retconning what the force is. what the black witch says is not a retroactive continuity of the overall concept of the force, it is merely her character's concept of the force as she perceives it. in oedipus he learns of the awful destiny he is bound to and does what he can to deny it while accidentally fulfilling it. black witch thinks she can play with destiny and teach the niglets to also play with destiny but it is literally their destiny to play with destiny, that's what a lot of people are missing here.
>people misinterpret the show as retconning what the force is
Like
said there is nothing new, that's the problem. They simply pretend that in the past people took a more masculine and aggressive view on the Force just to correct with a more "feminine and mystical" explanation that is the exact same thing Obi-Wan said in the first movie. The show is dishonest like everything in Nu-Wars, it's the same "it was made for boys only and it was bad, now the Force is Female and it's good!" when in fact Star Wars was always for everyone.
>It’s not a “force” at all as that is far too masculine of a concept, it is in fact a thread that sews the cosmos together
Direct quote from Obi-Wan in the first movie:
>It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.
We know already but still. What a frick up.
The show literally takes a bunch of Lucas lore from prequels and TCW into a blender with all their modern political sensibilities. I didn't like it. But to say it is lore breaking is silly. All the old EU did the exact same thing, take a bunch of existing Star Wars shit and blend it together with a variety of results. In some ways things change and in others they stay the same. Frick the witch from the old Ewok movie is now a nightsister in some attempt at cannon explanation.
I'd agree with this. It doesn't really frick the lore in the way that Rian Johnson did with the lightspeed kamikaze, its just weird and gay and woke. Really its just more trash for me to ignore so it doesn't matter anyway.
its a shame drugs and the hollywood lifestyle ruined Carrie Fisher's innocence
is it weird i find it more problematic that the show doesn't rape the lore like i was led to believe it would? like i wanted the show to be full on "white men bad, the force is female" and instead i get next to no white men to be mad at and they aren't even lesbians

And yet "women good/men bad" is meant to be the agenda? The agenda is just diverse casting and milquetoast plotting.
In their eternal pursuit of diversity and inclusivity Disney managed to make a show where even in a galaxy far, far away…the black kids still don’t have a Father.
That's a fricking talent.
