Why the gently caress did they expect me to have played Fortnite before watching the new movie?

Episodes being this short is getting kind of frustrating for a weekly show. Once it feels like things are getting going, the episode ends. At least Disney+ has finally started displaying episodes in a grid.

That was the dumbest thing. Just be like "Ok, we will be family again" and then suggest they try to steal the jedi ship and then maybe try to apprehend her there or something. Or do literally anything to stall her until the squid games guy wakes up. No, instead grab her arm and say "you're under arrest" with no plan on how to follow through with that. And what is Jason's plan for osha? Like she's magically on his side now or something?

I get it now, Osha is turning into Darth Vader, this is Vader's origin story.

Kesper North posted:Yeah it was completely worth it for the singsongy "Oh - Hello!" when he reveals himself alone I like that he's just bro-ing out and being chill just wanting to expand his powers. Every time there's another sith and they are revealed as sith they go all cartoon villain.

I'm just glad the episode didn't go where I thought it was going. I figured we were going to have to waste a bunch of time as Dip Shitto tried to figure out how to fix Pip. Doing the weird karate moves was still weird though.

Tequila Bob posted:Three points: I don't know if Dan Harmon specifically hates flashbacks, but I do know he hates the "two weeks earlier" flashbacks that lazy writers do where they tease a big climax at the beginning and then jump back in time to tell the story because they don't know how the make the start interesting. So much so that he wrote hating it into Rick and Morty where a character they meet uses it in his story and later one of them shoves the guy down the stairs, killing him and then asking if he'd like cut to two weeks earlier when he was still alive.

Obi Wan would have been a neat movie, this would have been a neat movie. Instead they made boring TV shows.

Hazo posted:I’m astonished to hear all the negative feedback about last night’s episode, even in this thread. I thought it was fantastic and a perfectly cogent payoff to what a bunch of us were already expecting for a flashback episode. It was a neat episode that suffered from having to follow a bunch of episodes that failed to move the plot forward. If they had done anything to earn a recap episode that explained things further, sure, it would be good. This was all poo poo that could have been in the other episodes but instead took out to create a mystery.

Is Bazil a jedi? For as much stuff as he does, you'd think it would be important for people to be able to understand him besides that nerd jedi.

Did the Jedi know that sheev was a force user? While we the audience obviously know he's Palpatine, to everyone else he's just the senator from naboo. So I'm confused why people think he'd be the go to for contacting adult Grogu.

1st AD posted:Fans growing up with the prequels are too young to remember that Phantom Menace retconned a bunch of EU stuff and fans got mad about that too. Yeah but it's funny for someone to say it is contradicting books or whatever and then George be all "I didn't read that poo poo."

Some Jedi can know about the sith without destroying canon. They likely keep it a secret so Jedi don't start freaking out. Being open about the existence of the sith would also likely cause some Jedi to seek them out to either join them or try to stop them and get killed.

Marsupial Ape posted:Here’s my far out take based completely on decades of ingesting the EU: that is a Dark Side ghost haunting the mine and the stranger was attracted to the mine because of it. It’s a riff on Exar Kun haunting Yavin 4 and corrupting New Jedi Order noobs. That would be kind of cool. Just old dark side ghosts trying to bring it back.

Jerusalem posted:But they tried that once by re-casting Han Solo in a terrible movie with bad writing, so clearly the problem was the re-casting! I thought the movie was ok overall. I would have been interested in seeing what was going to happen next.

I've been working through the clone wars for a while now and it is fun to see stuff that happens in there and then shows up later in video games. Like the planet where jedis find their kyber crystals and getting to go there in the Jedi Survivor game.

I think the 2003 animated clone wars thing is worth watching at least. It's only a couple hours, and there are a couple things that get contradicted later, but it still has some interesting plot developments about the characters in clone wars CG.

The most important part of Solo was the backstory for the random dice that some guy in the 70s glued to a chain and then spray painted gold.

I wonder if it was because of bad numbers or just because some executive wants a specific release cadence of things.

What did it contradict in ANH?

It cost 80 million to get that korean guy to speed run english lessons.

They won't even let me gently caress the star wars.

I think blaster bolts just move slowly. I'm not a real Jedi yet I can still deflect the bolts as they come in in the Jedi survivor game.

Huyang built alll the laser swords and they didn't even let him gently caress the force.

Whereas Star Wars has actual people who have had the tops of their heads removed and replaced with computers to become servants.

Sash! posted:The "Starfleet uses money to deal with non Federation entities" wasn't new to DS9 either. In the very first TNG episode, when Gene was at his drug addled peak and throwing out whatever, someone tells a vendor on a non Federation planet to charge something to the ship's account. That's the first episode. Crusher buys fabric from a vendor and is all "my ship up in space will pay you."

Star Wars stopped being good when I was talking about Star Wars with a friend and then mentioned I also liked Star Trek and he said "star track sucks"

I think Rogue One made the intro of ANH even better because now it is Leia lying straight to Vader's face because he just saw her ship fly off with the plans 20 minutes ago. And it's his own fault because he was too busy acting like a badass to scare those rebel dudes before killing them.

It's so great. Vader could have been in that ship in a second and got the plans back but he needed to make sure his entrance was perfect. He's in that dark hallway to make the perfect entrance. His suit has lights on it, so he's either turned them off if that's possible, or he's just turned off his suit and is actively dying for a bit. The people in that hallway pause, turn around, and they just hear him breathing, and then the light saber lights up. He nearly kills himself so he can scare people who are going to be dead in 10 seconds. He's the messiest bitch alive. Kylo Ren wishes he could be this performative. The ending of Rogue One is one of Vader's most iconic performances in all of Star Wars. To say that this somehow ruins A New Hope means you don't understand Darth Vader in the slightest.

CGI Leia wasn't great, but if we have to have that in order to get that Vader display, I'll take it.

You seem to be forgetting who Vader is. In A New Hope, Vader gets into a TIE Advanced and takes part in the Battle of Yavin. He has main character syndrome and wants to be the guy who does the important stuff. If the Death Star Plans get stolen, he's going to personally go and get them back. What's the difference between Vader going on that ship to get the plans back and Vader taking part in the trench run?

TheDeadlyShoe posted:Well then you have to ask why he didn't personally storm the Tantive IV in A New Hope. It doesn't really seem consistent. Vader's introduced as a dark overlord, not as a prima donna. Because he thought it would be cool to storm that ship in a different way? Maybe he finds out that Leia is on that ship, so he decides it will be cooler if the storm troopers blast in and then he bursts through after the fight is over to take control. I don't really know what you mean by Vader being introduced as a dark overlord not a prima donna. If you're trying to come at this from a perspective of only having seen the original trilogy or something, I don't know what to tell you. Canonically, ANH is not Darth Vader's introduction and his entrance onto Leia's ship is not what defines his character. Even in that movie he is a prima donna when he's force choking dudes who piss him off. Cojawfee fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Sep 2, 2024 |

Narsham posted:Most Star Wars shows the Imperial military as being incompetent. Even Empire, where it isn't, gives us multiple examples where it still is and apparently Vader has to kill several officers including an Admiral who can't do their jobs properly. But the Empire might have hundreds of Imperial Admirals; the odds of them all being great are slim (for that matter, some may have no practical combat experience and you know political appointments are commonplace). I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case. The empire is so big, there are going to be places where people slip through the cracks and someone gets a promotion because their father is an important empire guy. He gets an assignment where he can't really cause any problems until the rebels decide to do rebel stuff there and he is suddenly in charge of an actual problem.
