home from the mandalorian and grogu premiere. solid 3/10 if you turn off your brain. a couple fun action sequences, too many jokes, half tangible storyline. the story for the most has no ties to/impact on the greater star wars universe besides taking place within it. cara dune is given an offscreen death and rotta is blown up like a balloon. thrawn shows up as a hologram in a post credit scene where captain teva convinces mando to help the rebellion
>>220513394Is it a rip off to watch a TV show at the cinema
>>220513394Nothing from the trailers looked interesting. Or nothing looked worth going to the theaters for.
>>220513394Spoil the big final battle is it really just fighting robots? They blow up the hutts?
>Cara Dune deadThat's a no from me then
>>220513394>I gave disney money IRLGot what you deserved ngl
https://variety.com/2026/film/news/mandalorian-and-grogu-first-reactions-star-wars-pedro-pascal-1236748352/Reactions from the trades are mixed. Which is a bad sign, because the trades are spin doctors.
>>220513394>captain teva convinces mando to help the rebellionWhat fucking rebellion? This is after 6 right? The good guys won. This is such horseshit, Also does baby yoda speak in this?
>>220514460>This is after 6 right?The entire filoniverse (Mandalorian, Ahsoka, Boba Fett) is after 6, but it's still in the rebels vs Empire mindset.
>>220514460>member X-wings and stormtroopers?>yes, I member
>>220514509yeah but they call it the new republic and imperial remnants dont they
>>220514539>We know that the good guys won but aktually theirs a secret armada of the empire that's actually bigger and badder than the last one. Nevermind where the fuck they were in RotJ!George knew that their was nothing after 6 because that's the story. How can the heros win and yet still be underdogs? Do they just suck at governing?
>>220514588Sorry, these are just the laws of fiction. You can't go to smaller problems after a big bad. The stakes must endlessly go up.
>>220513394>solid 3/10 if you turn off your brainlol this is what gets upbeat tone when it comes to new star wars
>>220514588>George knew that their was nothing after 6 because that's the story. How can the heros win and yet still be underdogs? Do they just suck at governing?George did end up making a story set after 6. But as you can see, the difference is that George actually had an imagination, he created the thing. Everyone else can only regurgitate what they've seen or mindlessly tear it all down.
>>220515150WE WERE ROBBED
>>220513394>cara dune is given an offscreen deaththe heebs strike again
Why can't Disney even get the classic aliens right? They all look cheap and wrong
Somebody actually cares about this nothingburger of a movie?
>>220513394American Dad parody when?
>>220517104Family Guy did a parody for D+ because it’s more iconic.
>>220515150>After the Rebels won, there were no more stormtroopers>(...)>Akshually there would be shitton of stormtroopers, who would keep fighting the Republic>somehow Maul returnedYeah about that...Not as bad as Disney ST, but general creative direction on the same vector of nostalgiabait and incoherent writting.
>>220514588
>>220517080>ithorian with a beard>gamorrean with human proportions>whatever the fuck those twilek things areThanks, I hate it.
>>220515150Instead we got>after Endor the entire empire all went to a single junkyard planet and got their shit pushed in by the rebels>the rebels took over the galaxy and threw all their weapons away>nothing bad happened for around 40 years>then they all got blown up by a bunch of guys on the other side of the galaxy because they built a new super duper death star and nobody noticed>three hours later they took over the entire galaxy>a week later they all got wiped out by a million billion civilian freighters who just showed up to fight ten thousand star destroyers that all had death star lasers on them>nobody knows what the fuck is going on after that
>>220517080Small multi-trillion dollar indie company, please understand. Stop complaining, chud.
>>220517282I really am hoping that those rumors about the ST being retconned out are true, because that actually sounds retarded.Too bad the only source of this rumors is Geeks&Gamers and he's a ragebaiting grifter with no credibility.
>>220517080>Ithorian with a front facing mouthHow hard can it be to copy existing designs ffs.
>>220517349>ST being retconned has been a rumour since 2020, resurging from time to time with no credible source>Filoni, the guy running SW, was part of the story group of the sequels, with sveral of his shows including plot points tat directly set up the events of the ST>Next year's film is confirmed to be set after ep. IX, and has been described as a prologue to the next era of the franchise; alleged plot is about a pilot delivering his force-sensitive nephew to Rey's academyYeah, as much as I'd like to it ain't happening
>>220514144Do people really care about that fat fuck now? Everyone complained when she had a fist fight with Mando in full armor. She fucking headbutt his helmet
>>220517080How do you go from the charming character pictured here to that thing with a beard in the middleWhat the absolute fuck is wrong with these people
>>220517433I wonder if they're brave enough to do the Vong. Because there's no way they will make it Rebels vs Empire again. Right?
Did Goob Gobmucok show up? He was my favorite character that appeared in Star Wars Rebels in episode 13 season 4 minute 6:45 as well as Star Wars Goon Squad episode 4-7 (he was pivotal to the overarching plot.)
>>220513394>captain teva convinces mando to help the rebellionI know you mean New Republic, but he already convinced him in the s3 finale. Did you forget? Isn't the opening scene that people saw last week Mando helping the New Republic? I call bullshit larp.
>>220513394>thrawn shows upoh man so many people are going to basedpog
>>220517526The other one with the front mouth is from The Force Awakens and isn't an ithorian. If there can be near-human variants, there can be near-ithorians, I guess. But fuck JJ Abrams anyway. Even the guy who started naming species in the 80s tabletop RPG made the croc people in the cantina and Bossk two different species even though it's the exact same fucking mask.
>>220513394What about the mythisore?
>>220517136Generally stories are written in the way where you do something 'definitively' and then change your mind.For Star Wars, Palpatine wasn't even meant to be a big evil emperor final boss originally reading the original materials. He became emperor but it was other aspects of the government enshittifying the galaxy with him moreso being a figurehead if I recall (and more famously, Vader wasn't intended to be Anakin). I've written my own original fiction and I often would do the same thing. The world I created had a gag character that would occasionally appear, someone who was continually being reincarnated in different time periods, and for the prelude to the final arc I had him kill God and become the main antagonist, and that was something I decided on right when I was concepting that final story.
>>220517641Thrawn is so fucking lame in Disney Wars. He sits around monologuing about how he has a genius plan and then gets surprised when the plucky rebels kick his ass. He fucking spends 30 years with a bunch of zombies and nothing else in Ahsoka, he can't even catch 1 Jedi.
>>220517547Filoni had a Vong scout-ship arc in early stages of production for Clone Wars. We would have gotten that if Disney hadn't cancelled the series when they took over.
>>220513394>Cara Dune offscreen deathI think you're full of shit, Favreau loves her. Why would they acknowledge her character just for the fuck of it? They already said she joined Special Forces offscreen in s3. Greef Carga is who would have the off-screen death. Since you know, Carl Weathers died. Just last week Gina Carano said in an interview that she had a zoom call with Favreau and Filoni after Disney settled her case out of court. She said the first thing Favreau said was, "So where'd we leave off?". TL:DR- OP is full of shit (and gay).
>>220514509You forgot Skeleton Crew! The kid characters in that show don't even know that the Empire was ever even a thing, even though they were born during the OT. Their world was isolated.
>>220517491She's fit again now. She's fighting that one weird looking little broad in Vegas this weekend.
>>220517674>Generally stories are written in the way where you do something 'definitively' and then change your mind.It's fine durring the process. But afterwards it's simply undermines writter's credibility.>I've written my own original fiction and I often would do the same thing.And your fiction quickly would become no different from capeshit.
What's the big reveal about Grogu. It should at least lead to becoming a Mandalorian Jedi
>>220517933>She's fighting that one weird looking little broad in Vegas>She's fit again now.Pick one.At best she is back on pharma
>>220518444I have no clue what your post even means. Just look up her pics from yesterday.
>>220513394I might watch this when it pops up on streaming to torrent it
>>220515150man, that's so much better and logical than the fanfic we got
>>220513394>Disney Wars >2026Who even cares about that goyslop?
>>220513394Will I need to watch the next star wars film project in order to see Mando and grogu conclude whatever story arc was started in this one?
Zoggles the noggin wondering why they thought to make this, let alone not just make it straight to streaming
>$180M advertisement to sell baby yoda funkos
>>220518421>What's the big reveal about Grogu.He's trans now.
>>220513394>thrawn almost had his entire evil army plan snuffed in its infancy by like 3 children show characters before running away like a bitch>we already know he loses anyways and is a complete nonfactor not even worth mentioning by the time of the sequels>disney still trying to hype this fat retard as some epic star wars avengers villainlol
>>220518143 Only if the change is dogshit.Retcons aren’t automatically “capeshit,” they’re a tool. Lucas retconned Vader into being Luke’s dad and it made the trilogy better. Tolkien rewrote huge chunks of his own lore between drafts. The problem isn’t changing your mind, it’s changing it because you have no plan and you’re chasing toy sales.Credibility dies when the new direction contradicts the themes and stakes, not when a writer refines their idea. There’s a difference between evolving a story and slapping multiverse duct tape over your plot holes.Disney does the latter. That’s not the same thing.
>>220519223Thanks, chatGPT.
>>220513415This. Fpbp thread over, everyone enjoy the weekend
>>220513394Not a single normie I know cares about this. They all seem more excited for the Backrooms movie. A24 is about to make a killing.
>>220514509Yeah, bugs the crap out of me that amanda lorian's foes are still stormtroopers
>>220518143Anyone writing longform fiction has changed their minds on things after spending more time writing their characters and story.
>>220517641He looks too fat / Elon Musk for me to ever get excited
