The silver lining to Disney ruining Star Wars is that all those butthurt Gen Xrs who spent a dozen years harassing George Lucas over the Prequels sincerely deserve everything that happened.

>THE HATERS WERE THE REASON HE SOLD IT!
Little homosexual should learn how to take criticism then. Same with you prequelgays.
Cope some more, seething Gen Xer
Wonder how these losers feel knowing that the whole series has tanked in ways never thought possible and 90% of the good stuff is now non-canon and the Dark Horse comics will never see the light of day again, and it is legitimately all their fault. Good job!
Seems like you're the one still seething over people not liking your flicks. Just an FYI, the sequels existing doesn't make the prequels good.
Says the guy still eternally seething over people liking the Prequels
I never said that you couldn't enjoy them.
Hey, manchild. Maybe it's time to let go of your toys and shitty cartoons and stop crying that people hate them when they're badly made ok? How old are you? Isn't it time to start watching movies appropriate for your age?
Except they're actually great and in fact better than we deserve.
>seething manchild telling someone to grow up
Oh the irony
QRD?
RLM are the living embodiment of the smug, detached Gen-X ethos.
I'd venture to guess none of them has felt a single sincere conviction about anything since childhood. They exist as polyps upon the colon of culture, satiating themselves on the perceived failures of others (i.e. "The Man") while adding nothing new to the discourse aside from ironic complaint.
They're a group of insecure, lost, rapidly aging burnouts who silently believe they could do a better job of making films than the professionals in the industry. Yet they lack the ambition and ability to actually enter the very industry they're obsessed with. They choose instead to frick around and make student film piss-takes well into middle age.
They are awful, awful people. I've met thousands just like them, and the last thing we need is for these people to gain any attention for their navel gazing.
Please, /misc/, do not aspire to become anything like these people. Theirs is a lonely road leading to depression and a life devoid of real purpose.
I hope they disappear and their disaffected followers stop subsidizing their lifestyle. Perhaps that would force them to do something productive with themselves.
I hate irony poisoned Gen Xr's almost as much as Boomers. At least those apathetic fricks never amounted to anything in their lives and have no power over anyone.
The RLM guys will never admit they were wrong to spend 20 years b***hing about 10 minutes' worth of Senate scenes and pretending like that was some crime against humanity.
But they didn't seem to mind Leia fricking flying through space all that much.
That's not the silver lining. The silver lining is that Disney gave them everything they asked for and we all got to see how much their vision of star wars sucked. The sequels were designed by committee around their criticisms of prequels. They are responsible for the sequels.
Wrong, TLJ acknowledges the prequels and have multiple inspirations from them.
The new movies literally do everything Plinkett asked word for word. And they were all shit.
Go back and actually watch the Plinkett reviews, every idea, every suggestion that he has, was implemented into the Disney Sequels. Right down to hiring J.J. Abrams to direct, that was literally RLM's idea. And just as Space Cop was completely unfunny garbage, Disney proved that Mike Stoklaska doesn't belong in Hollywood for a reason, he has no talent, he has no taste, and he never will.
>every suggestion
You mean the one (1) suggestion which was to hire a director that knows how to direct scenes that are actually interesting?
>Dude muh sand! That's such good directing!
Writing and directing are two different things.
I'm talking about the one suggestion that they took that you people use as an example.
>Sequels
>Muh real sand and real cinematography
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OHNONONO
>direction = setting and cinematography
Yes.
>one suggestion
Why is the RLM cult so dishonest?
I like the part where he says Star Wars stories should be kept simple on purpose, that politics has no place in Star Wars, that Anakin is too emotional and should be swapped out for a plank of wood, worldbuilding doesn't belong in Star Wars and such a massive focus on fight choreography is too distracting and the fights should be more about emotions than internal consistency or logic.
Literally all in the sequels.
>should be kept simple on purpose
>politics has no place in Star Wars
His issue was with the tonal change from being a political thriller to a goofy kids movie to a romance flick to an action flick. The pacing was all over the place because Lucas tried to fulfill multiple different genres and storylines at once, rather than making things flow well together concisely.
>Anakin was too emotional
Correct. Even when he grows into an adult by the 3rd movie he's still whiney.
>swapped out for a plank of wood
Also correct, when you take wonderful actors like McGregor and Portman and somehow make them boring and devoid of any personality, something's wrong.
>worldbuilding doesn't belong in Star Wars
He never said this.
>focus on fight choreography is too distracting
>fights should be more about emotions than internal consistency
They had no weight to them, both literally and emotionally. He used the OT as an example for a reason.
>His issue was with the tonal change from being a political thriller to a goofy kids movie to a romance flick to an action flick.

Tone isn't a sacred thing that can never be changed.
Do you know the concept of intentional use of dissonance? You do know sudden tone shifts are a legitimate technique right? As is tonal dissonance. They do it on purpose.
>Correct. Even when he grows into an adult by the 3rd movie he's still whiney.
And?
>Also correct, when you take wonderful actors like McGregor and Portman and somehow make them boring and devoid of any personality, something's wrong.
Completely wrong.
>He never said this
HE LITERALLY DID, moron. Do RLM fans have brainrot and they can't even remember the reviews they're defending?
>They had no weight to them, both literally and emotionally.
Completely disagree.
>But they didn't seem to mind Leia fricking flying through space all that much.
Because it was kino.
George is and gas always been right
prequels are fine because you can take them or leave them and it gave us more john williams tracks but george is still a gay for making the special editions of the OT
I won't even talk about disney
You described pretty well why I don't have much respect for the Star Wars fanbase anymore.
It's really interesting how hellbent are Star Warsgays on keeping SW shit. Any other fanbase of any other setting normally wants their setting to be good and interesting. They want to see it's history, characters, factions, political situation, culture, religion and concepts developed, sensible, believable and cool. Except for Star Warsgays. They want it shit. Obsidian made Star Wars interesting and fanbase only screams:
>No! It's too much! Make it shit again! Make it simplistic! Star Wars should never be good and interesting!
No wonder TFA was so successful. Mystery man israelite israelite abrams seems really fitting for this setting. He doesn't explain anything, nothing needs to make sense and be believable. Even a basic, simple politics and metaphysical concepts in prequels and kotor2 filter the shit out of star warsgays. Any worldbuilding seems to cause literal, physical pain in them. It's unbelievable really.
>Obsidian made Star Wars interesting
midwit's first videogame
>dude everything is greeeey bro it's all compleeeex greeey
>"Dude, this setting is pretty bad. You can't have any free will because the force will make you do whatever it wants. There's no grey area, only death from a predetermined place of extremism. What a bleak galaxy."
I can't imagine being filtered by based Avellone.
This. The grey stuff works great in a video game because it's an RPG with a customizable character but it would be lame in a movie. Darth Nihilus and Sion would also seem like deviantart OCs in a movie as well.
Gatekeeping is a good thing though!
I rather forgive all past CIA's psi-ops before even considering forgiving George Lucas's terribleness.
this
Kys.
nah hes right
People taking a shit just so other people get shit on and other things become shitty isn't a philosophical basis for moving forward.
What none of us are getting and isn't being offered is some fricking peace and quiet. Like maybe one terrible thing doesn't need to lead to another. Maybe they could just stop making these fricking movies.
That's what I deserve. Instead I got everything from your diatribe of nerd rage like right up my ass.
You gotta love how defeated the mega millennials at RLM looked in the RoS review when Mike has to sincerely explain himself and apologize over mentioning JJ Abrams for SW since you know they took his advice
I find it kinda funny that in the ROS half in the bag he kind of apologizes and says it's not his fault lol
JJ is the proverbial Darth vader throwing RLM's credibility as a star wars guru down the exhaust shaft.
They definitely watched the plinkett reviews the first half of TFA is basically exactly what Mike said it should be, it’s fast, frantic, the music is blaring, there’s a sense of excitement, but there’s nothing else to it. It’s interesting to see him and Jay spend years insisting tfa wasn’t that bad and how Jay said it was “necessary” as if people needed to “move on” from the prequels. b***h you’re already making a new fricking movie people have already moved on, the palate cleanser argument is so inherently shitty and honestly cowardly as well, like you need to make an entire movie to get people over it. Just move the frick on!
Why do I have to suffer for it though?
Ha ha, my dear boy. There is only the OT and that's all I'll ever need. Prequelgays and Sequelgays are exactly alike: irrelevant crybabies.
Too bad the prequels are shit regardless.
See, you people just recite the memes you've heard without critical thought. Episode 3 is one of the most quoted, best Star Wars films, unironically either 1 or 2 next to Empire. But it only exposes how silly you people are to say "the first two movies sucked." Yeah, who gives a shit, all this means is 4 out of 6 were good or great.
Literal psyop designed to devalue Lucas' studio and force his hand to sell. Midichlorians could be changed to "power level" and it wouldn't make a bit of difference, and Crystal Skull wasn't even all that bad.
>muh nuclear fridge
>muh aliens
Shut the frick up. You just don't understand pulp stories and got psyopped by hand rubbers.
Darth Vader midichlorian count is 300,000 though.
Try and legally obtain the original version of Star Wars, guess what, you can’t, thank you George Lucas.
>the Prequels
the prequels are still the worst
Andor is the best since the OT
seethe
I still believe he sold it in a rage because no network would let whatever the frick this mess is air.
Disney creating derivative, soulless garbage =/= the prequels suddenly being good films. What is clear is that George, despite his deficiencies, did actually try to put his heart and soul into them and the enduring memes and newfound affection some people have for them reflects that.
So TL;DR: the hate went a bit too far but wasn't entirely unwarranted, and hopefully George is having a wry chuckle at Disney making everyone miss him.
Childhood is thinking George is cringe
Adulthood is thinking George is based
He really just kept editing the movie, insane. That being said does anyone think that ewokes were suppose to be wookies in the first draft of Rotj?
The new short animation with count was fantastic best Star wars in years
RLM need to go to hell for being the worst thing for people to copy the format of since avgn
