What a goofy looking character. The girl on the left is pretty ridiculous too.

The girl on the right is the worst class you can get. Imagine selling out other women to sex scandals and human trafficking and then turning around and writing stupid ass shit about being “pro women”.

One thing no one can fault the prequels for is that they had alien worlds that felt alien. Coroscant, Kamino, even the more mundane worlds like Naboo had enough weird architecture to feel alien. Especially on the Gungan side of things.

The prequels are (arguably) bad Star Wars movies.

But no one debates or argues whether or not they are, indeed, Star Wars movies.

Unlike the sequels.

Millennial spite writing is going to be a terrible curse to deal with for the next couple decades.

They’re all just cultural vandals. Everything is being captured by the people who hate it.

Even more importantly, they hate the people who like it and want them to be miserable.

Since 1917, the Marxist (Communist) agenda is to demolish the Western Civilization and create a Socialist Paradise (where 1% own everything and 99% are slaves). Everything you love, they will destroy.

Sincerity is le cringe among Millennials. Everything must be ironic and accompanied with an eye roll and a snarky quip.

It's cutting the heads off statues of history they don't understand, in movie form.

I enjoyed the prequels but I grew up with them. I enjoyed the original trilogy immensely but grew up with them too as a child of a big star wars fan (my dad). I saw the last jedi on cinema with my dad and we both agreed star wars was over. We both liked the prequels, they have their flaws but they are indeed star wars. I would argue some of the extra material like games (kotor, Republic commando, that one bobba fett game I forgot the name of etc) all added to universe. I cannot see the Disney stuff with the exception of the first two seasons of mando ever capture even a spark of star wars. Sorry, random rant.

Yea I’m strictly pre Disney Star Wars. I’m happy with 1-6 and my EU books and comics. What makes no sense is that the appearance of Luke got them a massive reaction at the end of Mando season 2. You would think they would’ve realized that making him a grumpy hermit was a mistake and I would tried to figure out a way to retcon last Jedi and then Carano was popular with fans. They fire her

Tattooine alone had more Alien in it than probably every modern Star Wars combined. Humans with color and prosthetics doesn't count as Alien.

Yes, it's northern Ireland. I'm guessing there is a lot of tax breaks to film there.

I do know most places are either Western California, northern Arizona, or Northern Ireland or Scotland. Shreveport Louisiana and parts of Georgia get turned into everything.

Lots of tax breaks.

I said it before, I'll say it again:

There is significant money-laundering happening in Hollywood in the last 15 years or so. That's why all the budgets are so inflated.

Godzilla Minus One cost $13 million to make, and looks better than nine-figure budgets.

yes. especially when you look at who is involved, who they know, who they're married to, who gets these useless producer credits that I presume gets them paid and probably on the back-end too. and all of those consulting firms and outsource shops getting paid.

hollywood has been extremely tight with organized crime since hollywood existed. the various unions take protection payouts and I'm sure the various guilds and other associations are essentially nepotism grifting rings.

maybe I've got that backwards. the useless producers are ppl putting up money and getting their friends paid. but oh wow look the movie didn't even break even! so it's a tax writeoff. your buddies got paid (totally for making the movie and not something else they did for you) and you get a tax break.

I saw someone online getting called a misogynist for saying that Disney bought Star Wars to attract a male audience. I didn’t believe it when I said that is factual

They'd have had an endless income stream if they had done just that and churned out mediocre content that respected the source material. But, just like everything else it must be infused with idpol and feminism.

If I had the golden ticket I would just have used the EU paid some writers to write more in that area and basically make movies and series out of some of them like Darth Band I always bring out when it comes to Star Wars adaptions. Bane is one of my all time favorites and a movie series would've been amazing if done faithfully.

They pissed it ALL away, you had the golden goose, the donkey that shits gold nuggets and they just threw it all in the trash. There have to be books about this absoute disaster in the future, its on epic levels of how much they fucked up.

Heck, not turning Luke into a grumpy hermit would’ve brought in more money. You would think someone would’ve said, you know why don’t we have Luke do something cool

Corporations honestly believe fans come with the IP plantation, so trying to appease them is wasted effort when they can go for the Wider Audience™ (i.e. women).

It's going to be terrible, and the root cause of all the terribleness is diversity hires and leftism.

We can talk about shit writing, shit acting, etc etc etc, but we all know where the problem really is.

But people who do actual productive labour jobs don't deserve much money, no, fuck 'em, let's pay ball players and fagtors (fag actors) millions upon millions instead.

Humanity is a fucking scam. Needs to be shut down immediately.

Well, you have to pay a ton to get the compelling story of the writer's family drama and a regal coven of lesbian witches translated into a science fiction setting!
