The Star Wars franchise I just pretend does not exist. Maybe all the fandom wars just made me disinterested in the priduct itself.

I quite liked it, and still do.

But I despise Rise of Skywalker. It remains the only Star Wars film I’ve ever only watched once.

Hell, I’ve watched the Holiday special twice for a laugh, more times than I’ve seen Rise.

Rise of Skywalker might’ve benefitted from being split into two parts (a-la Deathly Hallows.) Way too much shit going on to fit into a single movie.

Rise if Skywalker is def the weakest movie even if I personally liked it

You can tell that there was a LOT of rewrites

Rise had good ideas, or at least ideas that could have had some milage.

There’s a post of mine floating around either in this thread or the Star Wars thread were I “rewrote” the plot while keeping all the major plot points and reveals mostly the same to prove that the ideas were solid. But the execution was…lacking.

@ᎶㄖҜㄩ 乃ㄥ卂匚Ҝ
Would’ve benefited more if the first two movies followed narratively between each other then into it.
Also if there had been more than just a year between them.

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
It was basically what an AI generated film would be like.

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
Proud family is better then this lol

@NeoEnvy
Proud Family doesn’t deserve to even be mentioned in relation to that.

Feels like this will be meme’d for ages. (gxk spoiler)

Two franchises I’m too afraid to talk about: Star Wars and Ghostbusters.

I’d say that 90% of Star Wars fans are perfectly fine to talk shop with, most of us are not too insane.

But there’s a very loud like 10% of batshit insane morons.

@Zincy
I have to remember that. I keep forgetting with all the social media drama with it.

I forget the good things like watching Revenge of the Sith dvd menu or the ps2 game as a kid.

Maybe one day Ill return.

@WaynePonePone
What about StarBusters: Ghosts of Wars

@phoenixacezero
Let’s put Harrison Ford and Bill Murray in it. They’d have fun.

Folks need to remember that these guys aren’t cuddly plushies, they’re more like Savage Chimps:

@CaptainXtra
The Essential Guide to Warfare has a segment with an interview with a surviving Stormtrooper from Endor who’s all PTSD.
“I’ve seen the holos they make those things look cute! There’s nothing cute about them!”

I finally got around to watching the first episode of the Spice and Wolf remake. It was pretty much everything I was hoping for. Great music, very well done introduction of Holo, likable protagonist in Lawrence, the world building being on point, I honestly don’t have any complaints. Maybe the OP and ED isn’t as good as the two from the original series, but if that’s my biggest complaint, then that is pretty good.

I have high hopes and so far they are being delivered.

WRONG THREAD

@NeoEnvy
I get Iroh. It’s like calling coffee hot bean juice.

Apparently this is a tree from the minecraft movie

@northern haste

@northern haste
Doesn’t look half bad, but it shouldn’t fall like that.
