Reminder that the genre of music that the Cantina band plays is called "Jizz" and musicians that play it are called "Jizz Wailers" (literally not a bit)
These musicians are also calleds "biths" which in my language sounds like the word for "dick"
"They don't call him Kitt Fisto because he's into chicks if you know what I mean"
They banned all Jedis from fucking except the cone-head guy because he was like the last male of his species and thus had to fuck non-stop
What I'm saying here is: chad Ki Adi Mundi vs. virgin Kitt Fisto
IIRC Kit Fisto was legally allowed by the jedi council to have an affair with Ayla Secura aka the hottest alien but they ended up not doing it because their faith in the force was too powerful
absolute christian bullshit
Thats Protestant Jedi shit, would not fly with the OG Catholic Jedi
Just for once it would have been nice to have a relationship in Star Wars that doesn't end in death and/or tragedy.
Obligatory the Confederacy was right; the Republic used a slave army to fight their war, the jedi are unelected mystics with zero accountability who threaten to overthrow the democratic government when threatened by a heretic of their religion in power......
Uphold Plagueis-Palpatinist Thought
automation is much more efficient for a space fleet, but I guess it just wouldn't be the same as pressing millions of brainwashed slaves into a bullshit war
too bad being the bad guys basically made them into shitty comic relief dumb robots
clearly sentient and pain-feeling robots---uh the ethics of either side doesn't really hold up 😬
The could just simulate pained reactions to as a feature to encourage taking better care of the product
A lot less warranty claims that way
oh and here comes the 'droids don't deserve rights' crowd, typical
just because it passes the turing test doesn't mean it is sentient
How do you know that the droids aren't volunteer soldiers?
I mean outside of this bit I think droids of the galaxy unite and shit. I just think the bit is funny
how many payroll slips have you seen from the Confederate Starfleet???? 'Oh its digital' shut up, I know they aren't paying those droids and they certainly aren't getting quality board, just because they don't eat you can't only provide charging stations to your workers
Ever notice the leader of this "rebellion" is a princess? Does that sound like a democratically elected position to you?
I mean, you're not wrong, but I still feel the need to be annoying and point out that the Rebellion's leader was Mon Mothma
The Mothma dynasty has a deathgrip on power in the Chandrila system, dictators in all but name. I'm sure it's just a coincidence the Rebellion's leadership all come from bourgeois grandees or royals from the Core worlds
I read something along the lines of the prequels turned the whole series into a family drama instead of a galaxy-spanning adventure :/ why does fucking everyone have to be related to everyone else in star wars? There's literally trillions of beings in the galaxy!
ughhhhhhh why did they make Han Solo distantly related to like the Corellian royal family holy fuck. That's the most upsetting one for me. And the whole mandalorian expanded universe was cringe, yeah this nearly extinct warrior culture definitely needs implicated in every single going-on in the galaxy
I do like the EU breakup of the Empire way better tho---shades of the chinese warlord period (with way too many goddamn superweapons, but we'll ignore that)
I really enjoyed all the new films. They're fun and they piss off annoying nerds. It's a damn crying shame that Finn and Poe didn't kiss. Let the gays kiss! Solo as a story kinda sucks, but the actors all do a great performance, Don Glover did a fantastic job of being a flamboyant young Lando.
Nonsense, those two women kissed in the background of that one shot! Now that’s progress.
Solo is worth a watch for Alden Ehrenrech, he really pulls off Han Solo imo, and its really impressive to me considering the cultural weight that character pulls. It's not a great movie in whole but he really did good. I didn't like Mandalorian for a buncha reasons but they're using some really cool tech to make it and the production generally is sleek as fuck for TV.
Rogue One is a crime against the humanity of Peter Cushing and we will have a revolutionary tribunal to punish those involved.
Every few months I calm down about this, and every time I remember I get unconscionably pissed. The logical conclusion of IP law is corporations just owning people via increasingly complex legalese but I just can't believe it happened so soon and that no-one could tell Disney no. They aren't even a monopoly yet but unchallenged ownership of a deceased persons visage is something we have to accept?
Edit: And it was PETER CUSHING man was a ** giant** of cinema, with a single bit part in the Grand Ole' Space Opery
Here are some takes:
Rogue One was very boring imo, I found the characters to be kinda one-dimensional which sucked because if you're making things lower stakes then you need to rely more on the characters but the only one I cared about at all was the snarky droid. I nearly just stopped watching halfway through.
I literally just watched Solo and I'd heard it was awful so I had rock-bottom expectations going in which led me to actually enjoy it. It definitely has a lot of dumb flaws but at least it was kinda fun.
Rise of Skywalker was pretty forgettable, like not good but not aggressively bad, just kinda, events happen and tbh I don't remember what the events were or what impression they gave me or anything. It just kinda exists I guess.
The Mandalorian is probably the only one of new Star Wars stuff I'd actually recommend. I actually get excited whenever a new episode comes out, I love the score, I love the amosphere and the visuals, and I especially love that the focus is finally not on space wizard drama and we get to see more of what the galaxy is like for normal people. It definitely goes in its own direction so depending on which aspects of the franchise you like it might not appeal, but that in itself is cool imo because trying to please everyone all the time and never taking risks results in things being unoriginal or convoluted.
idk the CIS had on their side alot of moneyed interest, Trade Federation and those Banker guys I don't remember the name of.
a colonial analysis reveals the "Outer Rim" is not only an exploited periphery to the galactic metropole (the Core), they were also the victims of direct settler-colonization from the systems which could sponsor interstelllar expeditions and exploration. Consequently, all the resources of the Rims were owned and funneled to the Correllias and Alderaans in the Core, while Joe E Endangered species were left with scraps and mere parsecs surrounding their native worlds.
Oh sure, but the cause was being exploited I think by and large by those people and obviously even further by Sidious.
the Trade Federation was a syndicate (in the labor sense), check yourself before claiming the Teamsters with a battlefleet were bad
I dunno, Grievous can be seen as tragic, but I'm pretty sure his grievances (haha) against the Jedi were misplaced, and at least in an older continuity manufactured by Count Dooku to turn him into a jedi-hunter.
yeah that sounds right. his backstory was certainly an opportunity for the jedi to reckon with 'the other side'--receiving end of their sabers--but uh, none of the mainstream stuff went into that, at all lmao
I myself am a big lightsaber fanboy but I do love the idea of a jedi wielding a blaster and keeping his lightsaber holstered, makes it an even more important object.
now that you mention it it would be better if it was similar to how Geralt of Rivia handles his sword in this books ; he's absolutely deadly against swordsmen but blocking a projectile would just be sheer luck
I mean to be fair in the third movie you see countless Jedi unable to deal with being barraged by Clone Troopers during Order 66.
In this very arena scene in attack of the clones, the jedi get fuckin bodied. dropping left and right. they were about to surrender when the clones show up.
the whole jedi-block-all-the-missiles thing is really a sin of star wars video games
Also one named Eeth Koth. Which, like, at least there's not a racial slur in that one, but it still sounds ridiculous
I would have loved to be in the room when George was naming these gleep glops
His episode of the clone wars (both series) were my absolute favorite I love my watery boi
It's been so long, I almost forgot the prequels are total garbage.
