I went to see mandalorian yesterday, there were six people in the theater total

>>220809319
the movie is overhated, it is honestly not that bad. a bit cheap looking and the action could be better but still miles better then anything else disney star wars has made and gets praised by the same people that hate mandalorian now for some reason.
most of the criticism i have heard for the new movie were seriously "there isn't a girlboss in it " and "the male lead is to competent"

Explain in what way it isn't. The sequel trilogy was a failure with no positive legacy, Rise of Skywalker flopped, the spinoffs mostly flopped, the prequels are more popular than anything Disney has made, and a new Star Wars film in 2026 won't even crack the top 10 highest grossing films of the year. Now listen you fucking retarded shill faggot, that clearly indicates that audiences are not responding to Star Wars anymore and that the franchise means little to young people. Its popularity into the future is not guaranteed.

I think the implication is that hutts can be physically imposing, and probably were before their race became crimelords, but running planet-wide crime empires, being fabulously wealthy and having a million underlings to do all your dirty work for you have made them fat lards, like the humans in Wall-E.

>>220809319
Star Wars has to be one of the easiest franchises to write for since it’s all just a matter of taking the platform of a basic story type and then integrating it into the universe. 90% of the work has been done by other people already and it’s just a matter of crossing your t’s and dotting your i’s. Knights rescuing Princesses? Done. Gunslingers hunting outlaws? Done. Ronin defending village? Done. It’s so fucking easy yet somehow some way these syphilitic retards keep fucking it up.

>>220813363
they keep fucking it up because they refuse to see how simple it is and also never watched any kurosawa films (except rian, as bad as tlj was he understood the formula)

Why the fuck did they name Baby Yeed, Grogu?

>>220813403

>>220813501
so true

>>220813448
you're absolutely right which is why rian purposely fucked the whole thing up
but compare the last shart to the lucas films, they flow almost identically. his film is a weird perfect mix of the OT and PT in that regard, it's basically a low-key remake of attack of the clones while also borrowing from empire & jedi except kamino happens later in the film instead of sooner and the dagobah bits happen earlier.

it's still an absolutely massive piece of shit and deserves every bit of scorn it receives, but all rian needed was a babysitter to fix the writing and he would've made a genuinely good star wars film.

jew jew on the other hand was not a salvageable mess and he knew it. there's a reason he turned down lucasfilm's first offer at directing, he's the most casual of star wars fans and knew he couldn't hack it at writing a star wars film, this is why he intentionally did a remake of a new hope. the rise of skywalker isn't even worth mentioning, plus that's also the fault of chris terrio, at least with farce engorges lawrence kasdan was just there for publicity, terrio actually contributed to writing his disaster.

>>220813574
I forget that Kasdan apparently wrote TFA. If I was George I would break up the friendship over that

>>220813819
that's what i'm saying, kasdan in no way actually partook in writing that half-assed shitfest, he was just there to cover jj's ass. that was how they promoted episode 7, the whole "back to how things were done" schtick was their bread & butter for the p&a campaigns, and that included bringing back the "star wars scribe" who barely wrote empire (self-admitted) and was only a co-writer on jedi, everyone conveniently forgetting or not knowing that george did tons of uncredited work on the ot.

>>220809491
Sigorney Weaver was literally a girl boss in it though. She also saved his ass at the end of the movie, otherwise he would've been fucked.

same shit i said the other day

put out a tweet saying the following

"sequels and acolyte are no longer canon, all eu material subject to review; kotor series in development"

a resurgence that makes the 00s resurgence look like a joke would commence upon that news going live

of course that all depends on me taking over the company as well

why did they even bother making the film? it was literally the exact same as the series, just in longer form. was absolutely no point in making it a feature length film

>>220815145
They thought it would dilute the brand if there was no new star wars movie for 7 years

>>220815145
kennedy was told to make another movie or get fired
they had no clue what to do (hence why a ben solo movie happening after episode 9 was taken seriously for a moment) and since mando was pretty much the only thing that managed to be a hit they took a shot at making it a movie. now whenever we get the actual mando season 4 it'll have to correlate with the events of this film and will be a combination of new and old scripts. if favreau was smart he would've made it a completely optional sidequest movie to hook new audiences into the show rather than continuing the journey and forcing any future viewers of the series to have to watch the film.

speaking of box office, this slop has so far barely recovered its budget. it cost about 165 million to make, and another 140 million spent on marketing coming to an even 300 million. they'll probably break the 200 million mark this weekend, but i don't think it has the legs for another 100 million after that. the cope comparisons with solo is hilarious though, that because mando cost half the budget of solo it's still semi-successful while also flopping. numbers are fun.

yeah he got a lot of buzz for argo. when you look back on it, the story really wrote itself and he hardly had to invent anything apart from just logically connecting stuff. then bvs happened and everyone immediately flipped shit on him, and when it was announced he was a writer on rise it killed hype. literally two back to back shitfests completely killed his career lol, he hasn't done anything since and i sincerely doubt he'll get work again. even jj is barely getting work these days.

i mean she became a ranger so you could easily headcanon that she was simply busy and got her ass back in shape being the head of her unit. it would actually make for a neat police procedural. i expect she'll show up in the inevitable thrawn adaptation that's supposed to tie all the mando shows together.

This is exactly why Disney's prolonged period of fan antagonism was so dangerously short-sighted. It created a pre-emptive hostility towards new Star Wars films so that now when something that would have been considered okay if everyone was still into it is fighting an uphill battle not to be labeled as slop out of the gate.

They lost the benefit of the doubt and considering how blindly loyal fans were for so long that's quite the accomplishment. The only thing that can save the Brand now is unironically them crawling back to Lucas and giving him creative input in future projects. They need to beat the fanfiction vibes

star wars doesn't need george to survive, it just needs a creative who understands his way of thinking. aka, it needs me. i have the same autism george does, i understand the "long time ago in a galaxy far far away" aspect that disney is vehemently bent on ignoring due to poor limited vision. today's film industry simply can't see the forest for the trees or however the expression goes, they don't have the ability to create an overview and can only act on a case-by-case basis. it's why a lot of today's films and shows suck, they lack the ability to think long-term. typical democratic/leftist thinking structure.

There's a lag time associated with how people respond to these long running properties. Disney has burned through all the goodwill that was built up with this franchise and audiences are tired of it. Now when people hear a new Star Wars movie is coming out they don't get excited, they say "who cares" and don't bother showing up. Especially given how expensive it is to go to the cinema these days. It probably doesn't help that the best that can be said about this one is that "it's ok". It's also got a shitty unappealing title which is another strike against it.

This is not going to work. Extended universe stuff and spinoffs like KOTOR are for hardcore fans, not mainstream audiences. The average person only cares about the main series of films and Disney completely fucking blew it with the sequels. You can't really recover from that, you just have to wait another 10 years and try a new trilogy but the problem is that current generations don't care about the Star Wars brand when the Disney shit that was in theaters was worthless to them. The brand is permanently diluted. It can't recover

This anon gets it. The whole appeal of Star Wars is that it took ancient myths and story dynamics and put them in a modern sci-fi setting. That's why even the prequels are popular with zoomers. Despite all the dogshit in them, they're drawn to the classic story of a fallen warrior becoming evil after facing tragedy. It has romance and drama with universal appeal. The Disney movies have NONE of this, they're not made with the past, present and future in mind. Literally all they cared for was making a quick buck at the box office, the opposite of George Lucas who genuinely cared about the movies and made his bucks with merchandising instead

>>220816045
George coming back would bring the prequel kiddies back into the fold, maybe. The old fans are probably gone for good. They know they're never getting anything good ever again. Prequel kids might get more Jar Jar Binks though.

>>220816361
that's where you're wrong, nigger. i have it all figured out. normally i refrain from posting this sort of thing in the small chance a lucasfilm nigger is snooping through the forum, but i've lost all hope at this point, so i'll reveal my grand plan.

we start with an adaptation of the darth bane trilogy. no it doesn't go 1:1 to the books, it just borrows the general course of things. in that, we introduce the concept of darth revan and the old republic. that's where the spinoff happens. unlike mando, kotor doesn't get a movie that pops up in theaters. instead, it gets a massive series (imagine a proper 20+ episode season) that covers the games, the comics, and other tie-in media. i've even figured out how to have keanu cast as revan, he does the voice with the helmet. then, we adapt old revan material and he gets to play revan physically. i've got a bunch of other characters cast as well.

>>220809364
That's what happens when you go during working hours

>>220816440
Zoomers don't like the prequels, this whole false narrative is an astroturfed Disney reddit campaign from the subreddit prequel memes, fuck off mouse nigger jeet

>>220816468

They don't have that. They don't have anything. All they had was Baby Yoda merchandise and not even the movie all about him could sell tickets. It's over, anon.

>>220816565
They're both bad, just like your incessant trolling, no wonder this franchise is in the gutter with faggots like you manipulating the discourse about it, the best prequel media we have is from the clone wars cartoon which has a few absolutely stellar arcs that put the prequel movies to absolute shame

Before discussing anything about its direction, Star Wars content needs a moratorium of at least 5 years. Same with capeshit, half the reason for the burnout is because studios keep trying to turn IPs into money printers that operate 24/7, so the market gets saturated with mediocrity

It doesn't matter. We know the prequels weren't actually good. The point is that they're still more popular and more culturally significant than anything Disney has done with the franchise. Do you not see how this makes Disney's handling of the series even more embarrassing? They were handed LucasFilm after audiences thought Star Wars and Indiana Jones reached rock bottom with Crystal Skull/prequel trilogy, and they somehow fucked up both of them.

>Normies are not going to show up for a movie about "Darth Bane."
they'll show up for a star wars movie about the sith that has nothing to do with the sequel trilogy. the maul show, while mid, has rave reviews for being the first star wars series to focus on a bad guy and has people once again calling for a darth vader series with hayden christensen. you underestimate the power of the white male, he is an easy market to capture and manipulate, it's called power fantasy. by casting a biblically accurate bane and zana i can easily bring the old guard back into theaters and shit on the sequels so hard people forget they even happened. i can even get them to accept mouse ownership. it's all in the marketing, anon. the sequel trilogy was marketed entirely on nostalgia and it worked. rogue one was marketed on nostalgia and it worked. solo was barely marketed and had tougher competition. mando was barely marketed and also came after the rise of skywalker plus several years of disappointing television. what a new proper film needs is an organic marketing strategy, you announce the film and barely reveal any details. then you shadow drop a trailer in the theaters of a movie that's got box office hype behind it, that builds buzz. do that for a week and then put it online for all to see, the hype explodes. but again, this all relies on having the right creatives on board. someone who understands george's way of thinking.

just shut the fuck up imbecile, anyone with 2 eyes can see that nowadays the prequels have way more traction and audience momentum than any Disney Star Wars movie. The average person outright loves Revenge of the Sith

nothing, that's pretty much it. there are only about 7 of yoda's species in all of star wars so its appearance is considered special.

The prequels are deeply flawed and stupid films but they have a sincerity that's been lacking in everything that came after. They were made with a cohesive vision by someone who had a story they wanted to tell and that comes through despite all the cringe moments.

>>220816653
>>220816894
it's still funny to me how disney adults went on a lifetime supply of copium to pretend dilate of destiny and the sequels had some merit to them just because they were retarded and felt the previous entries to be the literal rape of their childhood and everything they hold dear in life.

do you understand the pull the the clone wars era actually has? It's second to the original era but dude it's been cemented as canon to anyone that isn't a Disney shill or 65+

>>220817148
usually anyone that tries to deny the prequels' influence did not partake in the consumption of the cwmmp and missed out on the golden age of star wars kino

>>220816894
Yeah the prequels like Megalopolis were the result of an actual creative vision, just one divorced from desperately needed editorial oversight. Disjointed but with a soul buried under all the flaws. George always had interesting ideas but on the original films he had people who could tell him "no". Harrison Ford was infamous for giving no fucks and openly mocking George's shitty dialogue. When the prequals came around however all he had were yes men and no one to reign in his ideas or give him useful critical feedback. You can see he still had a plan but the result is an overindulgent mess that suffers in the areas where Lucas is weak as a director (especially in directing actors as his weird autistic ass doesn't know how to tell people how to emote which results in a lot of weird off kilter performances from actors who are capable of much better).

The sequels are corporate slop. No plan, thought, ideas, or direction. Just one question: how can we get asses in the seats and milk this shit for as much money as possible. It's still amazing to me that they took this franchise they'd spent 4 BILLION dollars on and ran it by the seat of their pants.

>>220817198
megaflopolis was the result of coppola being unable to properly sell a project for 40 years and being convinced he still had something special to show (he didn't, the movie is rancid trash kek). george was surrounded by yes men and idiots beneath him because when he first started working on the prequels, nobody in hollywood wanted to touch star wars. the man actively sought others to direct while he would just write, produce and edit as he did on empire and jedi, and he got nothing but "sorry can't do it i'm busy" or "you know what you want so you should just do it" and ultimately was left with no choice but to do more himself. it's almost a pj hobbit situation except george didn't have gdt bail on him.

I am aware anon and he had a shot pre covid too. My point is 9/11 had the best cast anon but pretty much any project that put NYC in a negative light was cancelled after that

I've got years worth of EU material I still haven't looked at yet so I don't care. Let Disney's garbage wither into dust.

>>220817680
megalopolis doesn't put new york in a bad light. he just tried to change the ending so it wasn't another 9/11 type incident. but remember at this point studios told him no for 20 years because it was just a bad script and a stupid, pointless story. granted i'm sure older versions were better because they didn't have constant rewrites and improvisations made by the cast on the days of shooting to the point that half the crew walked off.

>>220817834
>megalopolis doesn't put new york in a bad light
Bad light as in NYC was decaying. I lived in NYC during 9/11 you couldn't play any movie featuring NYC at all for months. I remember the local news threw a shit for when one of the local affiliates tried to play Independence Day. Stop being autistic.

>>220816441

>>220817967
it says Star Wars in the title tho

>>220817900
i mean nyc was a shithole in the 90s that was barely starting to recover, it wasn't until after 9/11 that things really started to clean up. and no, those films still played on tv, but filming in the city was delayed due to clean up and concerns, hence men in black 2 and spider-man being delayed to allow for reshoots. ps i live on the island so i was just down the road from you lol.

>>220817987
You are going off tangent and arguing for the sake of arguing now. He movie got pulled because of 9/11 and had arguably the best cast of all iterations. This is objective fact.

>>220818014
i didn't disagree with that, i said that was the contributing factor to his decision to change the ending, he was still going to make the film. it also wasn't ever fully greenlit, that was the point when he first said "fuck it i'll do it anyway" and had some b-footage of rome and manhattan shot.

>>220818047
>i didn't disagree with that
good so our discussion is done so that was my only point

>>220809491
Damn disney still sends brown shills here, you gotta admire the dedication

>>220809319
disney has forcibly moved the entire star wars ecosystem into its app, disney +, and everyone who watches knows they will put the movie on there eventually, so i think their customer base is literally just waiting, why pay $50 to go see a movie when you can just watch it in a month on the app you already have that they are guaranteed to release it on

i think its just a case of the streaming service walled garden business model coming back to bite them in the ass when they try to release work outside of it.

i dont think it actually has anything to do with how good or bad the movie is

>>220818112
critics don't care for it at all, audience reception is fairly positive. then again, most positive reception for the movie starts with "i had no expectations because mando s3 was ass" so it shows they legitimately expected a pile of shit and were surprised at the memberberries and sigourney weaver.

>>220818148
i dont think critic reviews really have much influence on what people watch anymore, critic score and audience score are often complete opposites, especially in the age where people have already spent years being invested in a franchise

no critic scores only matter when you're either defending or attacking a film. personally i don't go by either critic or audience scores anymore, i simply see it for myself if i think it's worth watching to begin with. i'm still on the fence about paying to even see this movie, on one hand i want it to fail so that furloni is forced to make kino, but i also want to see it to get it over with and talk to friends about it.

>>220818112
also wanted to mention that yeah d+ is definitely biting into the profits of the film. if the 45 day theatrical window can be extended again, films will have better lifespans in theaters because people will know it'll be months before it's available online anywhere.

>>220809319
Most people who go to the movies are actually zoomers now and they're into more original shit by young filmmakers like Backrooms and Obsession. The older generations were the ones watching all the franchise reboot slop that Hollywood churns out, and those people are either indifferent to those franchises now like Star Wars or they watch movies on their TV only. Now is really the time for Hollywood to go back to the 90s era where it had new young filmmakers making good original shit.

The sequels made 4.5 billion worldwide. A few video essays saying Star Wars is dead doesn’t make it true.

>>220818903
NTA but you're right, but he's also right about the attention span and phone usage. Kane's YouTube series worked since videos were 5 minutes to 20 minutes in length usually and this movie is already known for being an extremely slow burn.

>>220811213
I think this scene would have been celebrated if they used puppetry instead of CG slop. A big factor in the DNA of Star Wars is having puppet aliens and model spaceships, which has been forgotten in the eons since the prequels first released and set SW down the path of CG everything.

It's almost like watching a guy who barely talks and a fucking handpuppet isn't that interesting

>>220818948
Lucas also fucking with the orignal movies in the 90s didn't help either. The entire bar scene in Return was entirely puppets in the original version of the movie for example. I remember seeing those movies on VHS when I was a kid in the 90s and thinking "wow the music and the special effects look like it could've been made today" without realizing I was already seeing fucked with versions of the movies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiDRgDmXGi4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w25pcTIFlQ

Not that either version is better though, I hated the the movie and still consider it a hard watch to this day.

I liked the TV-show but when they announced Jabba's son would be in it, I was out

>>220818938
yeah they made 4.5 billion but barely took home half of that when you look at how much it cost to make each sequel and what the ROI factor was (paltry in comparison to the prequels and originals)
the force awakens made $2 billion on a budget of about $500 million. that's a return yield of 4x. that's dogshit lmao. the last jedi cost $300 million and made $1.3 billion, that's also a return yield of 4x, still dogshit but slightly better since the film was cheaper to make. rise of skywalker cost about the same as farce engorges and barely cleared a billion, return yield of 2.5x, that's even worse and technically a flop or just breaking even lol.

meanwhile even the lowest grossing prequel (clones) still had a return yield of 4.5x, which was not great compared to phantom menace but still better than all of the sequel trilogy. phantom menace and revenge of the sith both had minimum return yields of 6x. that's what a profit should look like.

i won't bother getting into the return yields of the originals because those numbers are significantly higher. like you have to divide 11 into 440, and the result is the return yield for the first film. the other two have similar results.

also don't get me started on disney+ metrics, everything on that platform is a flop (except mando s1), more people are watching the prequels than any of the nuslop.

The first act of Mandalorian & Grogu is great. I thought we were in for a punchy, well-paced hunt down the Nazi fugitives movie.
Second act is kinda mid, too much monster CGI
Third act with its Grogu & Baba Frik bullshit ruined the entire movie. Then the most shoehorned in X-Wing battle ever to top it off, because they needed to give Sigourney Weaver something to do

>>220809491
It's not getting any 'hate'. Everyone simply says what you said,
>it is not that bad
The problem is that's not good enough for a series that defined 'box office phenomenon'. The series that made movies the biggest thing in the world, that was the best thing in the world to literally like a billion people. A movie coming out from that brand that is "not THAT bad" is not enough to fix the ones that were bad and turn a stained, resented 'new owners' era of a thing into something people like again.
Which means of course it got passed by a random youtube movie because if the brand is dead then the movie has to compete on its own merits which as you said, aren't anything much even if it's not horrible. The rest of movies coming out aren't horrible either and now it's just one of them

>>220811213

The conversation around Star Wars is insanely toxic. Disney converted a significant portion of the fanbase who loved Star Wars into people who now actively work against its success. TLJ is going to go down as one of the most disastrous and alienating sequels ever, even worse than Highlander II.

>>220819605
it's the animations, there's a weird attempt to make the monsters mimic their chessboard hologram counterparts, despite being real beasts this time around. also idk if it's the framerate or just a slow animation but when not-jabba throws the thing it goes obscenely slow.

>>220819642
The irony is that the literal stop motion animation in this movie looks so much better than the CGI. We've gone full circle into CGI garbage.
