JCC Embrace The FU - Formerly the STAR WARS IS BAD thread

Grabbed some screen caps from the trailer.

 

Spoiler

what dormant fleet?

This one.

Basically the First Order are a bunch of patsies, meant to lay the groundwork for the true Empire's return. They've been laying in wait within the Unknown Regions, with a fleet of destroyers equipped with death star tech.

 

For the record, the "like" I gave this post was totally ironic.

Wait...so the fleet and the thousands of people operating them have been laying in wait for 30 years?

 

Sounds like something out of KOTOR

 

Spoiler

It reminds me most of the concept of the Katana fleet from the Thrawn trilogy.

 

It might be a continuation of Operation Cinder using Star Destroyers instead of satellites? Palpatine's last official order that they're finally executing (again) after all this time.

As for where they came from, I'm assuming they're the ones left over from the Battle of Endor that probably ran away after the Death Star II blew up.



edit:

P.S. I love the internet.

 

So. In the OT Ben and Yoda going into exile was a big thing, a sacrifice.

Now, thousands of randoms went into exile for longer, Ben didn't go into exile really as he has a television show.

Disney aren't really treading on the trilogy I hoped they would.

 

I thought most of them came back for the Battle of Jakku.

 

Maybe, like in the case of Luke Skywalker, Disney thinks Jedi Masters are just cowards.

 

*Possible foul language (if anyone can understand insanely ranting man in the background).

 

So just like Steven Crowder, people who staunchly believe that Star Wars will respect merchandise canon are deluded ****ing morons?

Also GTFO of here with posting Crowder's crap.

 

I’m not going to watch a 44 minute video. But as you posted it, I’m glad you’ve let me know about this racist guy and that you’re also racist. I had wondered about you, but thanks for locking it in.

 

If you've never heard of Crowder, then you don't even begin to understand just how much someone is exposing their racist ass to the world by ever using him as an authority on what is or isn't racist.

 

Never heard of Crowder. Seems like I'll be happier staying that way.

 

Oh, I think you misunderstood me. I know Disney has no problems with flushing canon down the toilet.

What impresses me is Disney's ability milk money in so many different ways from a trinket that appears on Snoke's hand -- most likely because of the whims of the prop department -- and make money from it in their publishing, toys, and theme park divisions all at once.

It goes from: "Let's stick this random black ring on Snoke" to "Let's give this black crystal a special meaning in a SW encyclopedia" to "Let's put it on Rey's hand to get people talking about Ep. 9" to "Let's put an extra black crystal in 1 in 100 packages of already overpriced $13 plastic crystals so that compulsive collectors have another reason to buy the full set of 10 of them just so that they can stick it in a $50 holocron toy and hear dialogue about the Force that can already be heard in the movies."

 

He's a failed comedian and "journalist" for The Blaze who roams college campuses to argue conservative talking points with kids who are still learning how to debate. But when he's challenged to a debate by, say, a left-leaning journalist, or an actual climate scientist in response to his misrepresentation of climate science, he wets his diaper and refuses to play ball.

He's also massively racist. Oh, and homophobic too, so much so that Youtube had to review its hate speech policy and demonetised his channel.

 

I know most of you guys hate the Prequels, but can you at least admit that when Lucas finally unleashed his Big Bad in Revenge of the Sith, it actually felt organic?

What was going through Abrams's mind? "You know, on second thought, Kylo and the ginger Harry Potter kid just aren't selling the threat. Does anyone have Ian McDiarmid's phone number?"

 

Actually, no. That was the worst part of the prequels. Anakin's fall was completely unconvincing to me. Jar Jar Binks...the nonsensical plot of AOTC...I was ready to forgive all that if ROTS got things right. And it didn't

 

I didn't ask if you liked it, but that you'd admit that there was actual foreshadowing and precedent within the previous two films.

 

The villains in the prequel trilogy are as organic as an industrial sized vat of Roundup.

There's a different toy advert with their own gimmick within each movie. You can't call them characters, especially when one of them only has a single line of dialogue. And Vader and Palpatine only turn up because, chronologically, they have to.

The foreshadowing has the nuance of a brick.

 

I guess there's Anakin killing the Tuskens, and also when he's about to jump out of the gunship to help Padme...I dunno, I think it feels too disjointed and scattershot to be much foreshadowing.
