One of my many nerd groups I’m is is one for pre-Disney Star Wars fans which is mainly an EU group and we were talking about how all these shill sites have so many good things to say about the EU now when I can remember them talking about how bad it was when Disney took over. Honestly that was my first awareness of the shill media because nerd sites who were pretty positive about the EU all of a sudden started crapping on it once Disney got rid of it.
Some of the guys see this as a positive sign but I guess I’m cynical because I think they just realize that the sequels and a lot of Disney Star Wars isn’t as popular as they want us to believe. Plus I hear the OT toys still sell pretty well.
So what do y’all think? Is this a positive sign or am I right to be cynical?
I didn’t find Kylo very interesting. He felt one dimensional, shallow, and more teenage angst than burning with hate.
I would’ve preferred he kept the mask on. Would’ve added some mystery to his character.
Even with Kylo, people were pointing out the suspicious similarity between him and another, much more cooler character from the Old Republic times made by much better writers(coughcoughRevancough).
For all the screeching KK did about not having any source material, they seemed very eager to poorly copy alot of shit from their betters.
I thought Darth Vader's Ugly Ass Millennial Shithead Grandson was a good premise, the mask was interesting but didn't seem vital to the character. Plenty of places that character could have gone and they picked the worst one possible.
