    Star Wars Star Wars Discussion Thread - LET THE PAST D-! Oh, wait, nevermind

    Which only happened because the show had basically already been written off as a loss and abandoned by those responsible for how terrible the first two seasons were, giving the people who actually gave a crap about the franchise and stayed on free reign to do whatever the heck they wanted with...

    Star Wars Star Wars Discussion Thread - LET THE PAST D-! Oh, wait, nevermind

    Rian Johnson essentially admitted in recent interviews that he was trying to kill the Star Wars franchise with The Last Jedi; talking about his disdain for the very concept of intellectual property and franchises, and wanting to give it an ending akin to a "Viking funeral" that left no room for...

    Maybe it isn't shit; but I'll never know. Because by the time Rogue One came out, I had already completely lost interest in Star Wars. Which is funny from my perspective, because mind you; this was before The Last Jedi came out, and the franchise somehow got infinitely worse.

    Unfortunately, the video is riddled with hot takes, blatantly rooted in Razorfist's all-encompassing desire to be a contrarian hipster. Like claiming Marcia Lucas' editing had nothing to do with why the Star Wars films were good, because he liked George's editing in one of his far more obscure...

    That's not really fair at all; Sturgeon's Law being what it is, the vast majority of everything is, has always been, and always will be, trash. Though at least some of that is influenced by one's personal tastes, and thus what is considered trash differs from person to person. Razor's tastes...

    I've seen that guy's work before; I watched his R-TYPE short years ago, and remember being fairly impressed by it.

    It's not, but good luck telling someone like Razorfist that; the guy has a massive hate boner for most (excluding the stuff he has nostalgia for from his childhood) Japanese media (because it's popular, you see; which means that, as he's a massive hipster, he has to hate it) and anything that...

    I never said that they wouldn't keep trying to make Star Wars successful; remember, the entertainment industry is mostly incapable of coming up with new ideas, so they're stuck trying to make the old ones work.

    There's not going to be a next trilogy; that was their one and only shot, and they blew it. Even setting aside the damage they did to the franchise, the movie theater business is suffering in ways I don't think they're going to recover from; so pretty soon, films with several hundred million...

    He is a close friend of theirs though, and does show up more frequently than any other recurring guest. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see how this plays out. I doubt they'll publicly condemn what he said, but if they stop having him on as frequently for a while, that could be a positive...

    And yet it looks like at least one of them is now thoughtlessly regurgitating the shill media's propaganda.

    https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/red-letter-media-personality-seemingly-endorses-alt-right-star-wars-conspiracy-theory/ Looks like Red Letter Media (or at least Jack Packard) is hopping onto the whole "all critics of Star Wars are alt-right" bandwagon; despite the fact that they built their...

    And Palpatine was ultimately just a crippled old man; mind you, one that could shoot lighting from his fingertips.

    The Force Awakens made over two billion dollars; The Rise of Skywalker made about half that. I mean sure, a billion isn't anything to sneeze at; but it's still a significant drop, and at least half of it was eaten up by the filming and marketing budget. Also Disney isn't doing as well...

    And yet they didn't because they didn't want to pay him any royalties. Congratulations morons; in trying to save a couple million bucks, you destroyed a multi-billion dollar franchise. I swear; the evidence that most businessmen are just fools who got lucky keeps piling up. These people have no...

    What's even more shocking is that there are people who actually enjoyed The Last Jedi (because it "subverted your expectations"), and who believe that not continuing along that trajectory is what ruined The Rise of Skywalker: People like this guy blames us, as he believes we want endless...

    Which for a lot of new "fans" is the problem; its existence makes their sacred cow look bad, which in turn is taken as an attack on their ideology.

    We've already seen what he has to offer as a director; and while Rian Johnson may have his fans, it's unlikely he'll get many more at this point.

    No; I'm betting they'll just have a new resistance fighting a Second Order, then another resistance fighting a Third Order, and so on and so forth until the end of time. Stop trying to apply logic to the sequels; because the people who made them clearly never did.
