All things Star Wars

Can't anybody just make a fucking movie anymore?
Why does everything have to run through the social justice Cuisinart to make sure we all know "the real" story behind the story. Now we even have J.J. Abrams giving interviews leading up to the release to make sure everyone knows that the LGBT community will be represented in the film.
What does that do to advance the plot?
Does it impact the storyline?

-Holy shit - the stormtroopers are going to get us - quick, be gay so they don't see us.

-Holy shit, the 9-foot tall evil "Boss" character that throws cars at people with his mind is coming. Quick - get the 110-pound Mary-Sue character to make a few campy jokes while she beats him to death with her bare hands...

-Wait, don't solve the case yet, we haven't made enough of a political statement yet...


Why can't I just spend my money on inflated ticket costs, buy my overpriced and recycled popcorn, and watch the fucking movie in peace without having someone's pet political agenda jammed down my throat?
I'm even will to pay more than these shit movies are worth JUST so I can escape from society for an hour or so.

Make a shitty movie - screen it - get shitty feedback - immediately blame toxic masculinity and Trump for the poor review - then shit talk the fans...
...then wonder why Box spent 42 years as a loyal Star Wars fan only to decide seven days from the end of the saga that his time and money will be better spent at home on the 20th reloading pistol ammo for Saturdays Cowboy match.

Wanna know what Wookie meat tastes like?
Chewy...
...well, Fuck you Star Wars - fuck you very much

As the title suggests. The flick is released in a few days....what say you?

We can merge this back into the other Star Wars thread in a month or so.

And that's actually okay with me. In every case, especially the entertainment industry, follow the money. So far....Disney has figured it out with the Mandalorian. The success and sequels to Taken show it, as does the success of John Wick. Sex sells, guns sell, and toxic masculinity (whatever that is) sells. Hollywood will bitch that 'we' are deplorable, but they will also make movies to entertain us because we spend the money.

Have you noticed that the Rose Tico character has all but been invisible from the marketing campaign for this final movie? Try to find merchandise for her: Why Exactly is Rose Tico Being Removed From Star Wars Merchandise?

Did you notice that in Mandalorian they did not choose another 90 pound Twix-bar to play the badass female character? They chose a woman who has a little meat on her bones and looks like she could actually do what she does on the show.

Make a shitty movie with shitty characters and blame whomever you like....make a movie that interests me and that I can relate to somehow? You can cash my checks all year long.

Rumblings I heard about Rose Tico was she was supposed to be a selling point for the films release in China. I had to reread Jessica Mason's article and did a double take, the "REEEEEEEE!" with she/her is strong (frigging Portland). There was also a nasty rumor that Chinese audiences didn't think Rose or Finn were attractive and something about them not liking their romance.

As an aside, the Rose and Finn side story felt forced in and had no real place in the abortion known as TLJ.

I think Hollywood has been flooded with 3rd wave feminists and intersectional gender weirdos. Films that used to be an escape for the public have turned into social engineering experiments. I know it sounds silly, but American pop-culture and it's influence are being co-opted by people who are diametrically opposed to American values. Think useful idiots.
 
Check out the leaks here.

You can get a good sense of why so many Star Wars fans f'ing despise the Disney Trilogy at the Crait Salt Mines.

And more generally why the mouse is so reviled here.

As a lifelong fan of the franchise, with thousands of hours in it across movies, games, books, imagination, and dreams, I can't wait to see this dumpster fire burn itself out.
 
We are going Saturday morning (yes, morning, 10 am. When the fuck did movies start that early??). I soured a bit on Star Wars when The Mouse Conglomerate took over. I like the movies OK, but they are not nearly like they were, or could be.
 
Complete with an "LGBT moment." You gotta have that because...y'know, there's a lot of that going on in outer space.
 
The way the Disney Star Wars trilogy has panned out really shows how important it is to have someone competent to oversee it, a la Marvel and Kevin Feige.

They way I've seen complaints about it, I figured it was some super SJW in your face stuff, but apparently it's just a background character kissing another female when everyone is celebrating victory.

That’s where I got my leak Information
 
I normally lock on to two chicks snogging like Iron Dome on a Hizballah missile and I didn't notice it so it can't have been two obvious.

Saw it last night at a midnight screening. Eh, it's a 5. It's entertaining enough but as a Star Wars movie they took a tonne of liberties and it was some very shitty and very lazy writing in a lot of ways. So yeah I didn't mind it but I don't consider this trilogy canon in my head anymore so that's probably helped my mental health about it all.
 
I did not like it. It didn’t even feel like a Star Wars movie. The whole Palpatine/Sith spin was so over the top I reckon it would have been better off to not make this movie at all.

Shittest Star Wars movie made in my opinion. Disney have made their money back and then some on the purchase of Lucasfilm, time to let this die.
 
Wait just a second....
...is your post trying to claim that a movie was made with a desired end state of appealing to the primary fan base?







Those are mighty big words - are you SURE that is what is going on here?
