Baby Yoda has just failed to reach 100 million domestic. Say something that will cheer him up!
>>220765414Fuck every Slop Wars fan
>>220765414I liked it
>>220765414>Baby Yoda has just failed to reach 100 million domestic.Does pic related cheer up Baby Yoda?
>>220765414My biggest problem with Star Wars is that it's taken over modern sci fi so much that everything feels like it has to be Star Wars spinoff.People talk about how great Andor was, but here's the real trvthnvke: there was no reason for Andor to be a Star Wars show. It would've worked just as well as a totally original sci fi show, set in a sci fi universe where people are struggling against an oppressive galactic dictatorship. But they're afraid that no one would watch it without the heckin Star Wars label attached, so studios are afraid to make anything new.
>>220765414I'm not watching it, OP. Stop making threads about it.
>>220767261it would've been better if it wasn't a star wars show. all the worst parts about it are the star wars shit. they're trying to have this gritty Orwellian show about the nature of totalitarian governments and then they mention the Emperor or the Death Star and you remember this all ends in a pulpy action setpieces involving a magic space knight fighting a cackling old warlock with the help of his samurai cyborg father
>>220767333And what the fuck is wrong with ANY of that from the latter part of your statement?
>>220767623in isolation as a pulp adventure like it was originally meant? nothing. Knowing it's the ending of this tense Orwellian thriller I'm watching whenever they bring up the Emperor, I'd say it the tonal clash of knowing how this metaplot ends kills the atmosphere a bit.
>>220765414
My biggest fear with this movie was it was just 4 episodes stitched together and multiple reviews I read confirmed that
>>220765414women ruined star wars.
>>220767812I still don't see how that's a problem.
>>220767812There's literally nothing wrong with thisWhat is wrong with the movie is that it's lit like absolute dog shit and the pacing at the start is incredibly schizophrenic because it has to establish why the four episodes are interconnected
>>220765414Gonna miss that lil nigga like you wouldnt believe
>>220767812The problem with those episodes is that for all intents and purpose they were just filler. See the first X-Files movie for an example of tv episodes put on the big screen done right>simply a mytharc two-parter episode but with a bigger budget and filmed in more locations than just British Columbia>picked up right where the previous season ended and the events of the movie connected to the following season>high stakes plot full of things that people wanted to see: aliens, ufos, conspiracies, Mulder and Scully kissing (almost)>released at the peak of X-Files' popularity and cultural relevance
>>220768373Forgot pic
>>220767783>Not by the power of Grey Söy.
The hutts should have had a big space laser that blows up the Sun now THAT'S a movie
>>220768627Ha ha where do you nerds come up with these crazy ideas ha ha
>>220765414fake news
>>220765414If Disney got a cut from the shops of every dumb midwest broad who tattooed grogu onto their fat body, they'd have more money than Europe
>>220765414Lmao cope prequeltard
Billy Status?
>>220768627wait really?
>>220769742No I'm joking about retards that say the movie's bad because there were low stakes
220770154>bullshit strawman argumentpeople say the movie is bad because it's boring
>>220767000I think the budget was 166 mil so no lel
>>220770154>>220771134Breakfast Club didn't have particularly high stakes either.
>>220765414Remember those buttons I asked you not to push...
>>220765414Luke pwning these robots was pretty cool
>>220771267You're forgetting that that quip was subverted, as baby yoda continued to push the incorrect buttons and did nothing useful there
I would have liked this more if something relevant to the plot happenedBecause it starts and ends in the same place, and the wider plots that filoni has introduced, like them or not, nothing moves forwardThis movie is just Bing Bing Wahoo and nothing elseThe only wider consequences to this story is maybe Boba Fett doesn't get his shit rocked by the Hutts if he ever returnsIf they had just replaced Embo with Cad Bane and come up with some explanation of how he survived that would at least be interesting because then it offers a storyline of Bane returning to Fett basically jobless. At least it would offer some kind of story thread.Instead if you care about the wider ongoing story you can safely skip this movie and miss nothing. There's no "reason" to see it from a storytelling perspective.
>>220773389there's nothing wrong with this, especially in the context of where the franchise is and the rebuilding process they are going to have to go through, this is just baseless criticism from someone or some group with a culture war agenda that probably ended up giving the last jedi which is objectively the worst piece of star wars media to have ever been created a five out of fiveget a life faggot, you're just here to complain for complaining's sake this movie will be remembered fondly just for the fact it's not a hate letter to the fandom like so much of the prime kennedy era was, especially the sequel trilogy
>>220773457>wanting a good story is bad, actually
>>220773822>pretending to be retarded so you can lie about there not being a story, when there absolutely wasthis is how shallow your criticism is
>>220765414Fuck the critics, I liked it. Probably the second best Disney Star Wars movie after Rogue One and only because it just sticks to the basics of what make Star Wars good.>>220767812I really liked that. It created this pacing where you'd have a "climax" around every quarter of the movie and fit with the twists of the story where you didn't know it'd end with them bombing the shit out of the Hutts.
>>220769405>(((Rotten Tomatoes)))Lol, lmao even.
>>220769742He's referencing the Sun Crusher from the old EU. Sometimes it's good to have lower stakes so they're not trying to constantly one up previous galactic threats.
Alright now pair this okay action focus with more Soul and smarter plans besdies ramming into everything and you'll have great action films.

>>220765414>Strike gold with Mando s1>Proceed to completely run it into the ground and lose sight of what audiences liked in the first place. Take as old as time.
>>220773389They’ve been spinning Mando’s wheels ever since completely backpedaling the s2 ending. They clearly have no confidence in it without Grogu there for marketability.
>>220774781Turns out they shouldn't have had confidence in it even with Grogu
No one cares about Star Wars anymore
>>220768627Go to bed Kevin you're old.
>>220774710I'll try spinning, that's a good trick!
>>220774790S3 deflated all the interest in the series desu, it was that bad. They should have struck while the iron was hot right after s2.
>>220765414I actually really liked it, and I don't get the criticism about the story being "filler", it's a standalone movie but the last season of the show was shit so I'm glad it's not a direct sequel or tie-in. Even the marketing and the style of the poster art suggests it's just a fun adventure and not some big epic. You could probably wedge this movie somewhere in the middle of S1 or 2 and forget S3 even happened. Felt like a return to when the show was still good and reminded me why I liked it in the first place. Jabba Jr. was surprisingly likeable even though his design was kinda ridiculous. The other Hutts getting swallowed by that big ass snake was hilarious. I also liked the designs of the places they traveled to, lot of variety. I dunno, I kinda feel like a lot of people are just jumping on the bandwagon to shit on this due to NuWars fatigue and didn't even watch it. It'll be a shame if it actually does worse than Solo because that movie was a legit steaming turd I would never watch again.
>>220773981What plot progression is there? The movie is self contained. It starts and ends in exactly the same place, nothing changes apart from a few minor details that are unlikely to matter. Call me a retard and shit and cum in your pants all you want, not much happens to advance the plot threads that have been built up.
>>220774967My biggest criticism with the "story" is I don't like that Mando's working for the New RepublicVastly prefer his cult being freelancers that people try to avoid
>>220775721>The movie should have been about Bo Katan becoming girlboss of Mandalore reeeee
Saw it tonight the over the top john wick style action mixed with a cut away to baby yoda doing something cute was such an odd choice
>>220776081This is the "four quadrant appeal" that people talk about
>>220776081Did you not watch the entirety of the show?That's like the whole thing
>>220776081I really wonder what they're going to do with Mando now another film? Sequel series with more seasons feels like they have absolutely no idea where to go?
>>220767932>>220767981it becomes a pacing issue and loses all steam at the second half it literally could have been half as long without losing anything important and could just squeeze all the beats together Keep the opening with him killing the empire guy and relaying it to the nu republic They send him to planet newyork to find rotta, have mando participate in the death battle to free him The twins sent zeboc to keep tabs on events to double cross both the empire guy and the republic once mando has rotta secured Mando on the hutt planet baby sneed frees mando and fights the robot army after feeding the twins to the snake rancor Sigorny weaver thanks mando for a job well done DUN DUN NUN NUN NUN you really could just remove a lot from the film him at the base the beach scene with rotta the whole part with the little guys and the abduction going back to the base with the empire guy grogu taking care of mando and the bayou bill alien
>>220776314The only pacing that felt bad to me was Mando coming back to Sigourney to turn the guy in then getting the job then going to talk to the Hutts then going to get Rotta
>>220771173>budget was 166 milNot including marketing, so they're fucked. A shame too. At least no pink hair wasn't telling me what to do this time.
>>220774131Some people would unironically prefer this to even the best of the new shit
also now that I am thinking about it the whole scene with the guy trying to bribe mando with salt what was with that? They established the currency he has is already pretty valuable and repeatedly saying "I don't care about your salt"
>>220776441The language of jews is currency
>>220776441Because he wanted Mando to fuck off and that's all he had in terms of valuables
>>220776553>he wanted Mando to fuck offHe offered Mando a job fighting under him which is still dumb since he told mando he was betraying Rotta
>>220767000Movie actually made $98 million USD on its opening weekend domestically. Even so it's not good when a new Star Wars flick opens lower worldwide than R-rated Alien Romulus from last year.
>>220776684i wouldnt even classify it as a new star wars movie. Its like made for streaming crap. It doesnt even feel large scale at all.
>>220776665Poor Yeed. :(
>>220776808yeed was evil anyway
>>220776703It had AT LEAST 2x the budget of Alien Romulus though, so yeah that makes it even worse.
>>220774131It looks so retarded. The death star is a giant moon, this is an ice cream cone with a radar disc that can blow up suns.>>220776665That just feels unhealthy to spend time rendering (or prompting nowadays).
>>220774131at least design the tip to pierce a sun or something cool like that, not some gay death star dish or whatever that is
If this post ends in repeating numbers, The Mandalorian And Grogu will make less than Solo in its entire theatrical run.
>>220776957>That just feels unhealthy to spend time rendering (or prompting nowadays).yeah some loser made it by hand like ten years ago
>>220765414I think you're sexy baby yoda
>go see Mando and Grogu>cute black girl sitting next to me
>>220767261>there was no reason for Andor to be a Star Wars show.the characters are in Rogue One which came out a decade ago
>>220777060i bet the bayou fisherman who helped out little groog reminded her of her unc
>>220777011You didn't need to roll for that, it will happen anyway
>>220765414The shit had run its course by the end of season 2. Grogu left with Luke, The End. But they couldn't even let that choice stand for even a full season. Hell, they couldn't even wait for the next season of Mandalorian. Undoing the end of S2 (combined with the disaster of Kenobi) is when I finally bailed on Star Wars. The sequel movies were a nightmare, but they were far enough outside of continuity that they could be disregarded easily. Those two shows ruined what little things that I still actually liked about Star Wars.
>>220774710>Does It Even Matter?I see they finally got shamed out of using "...And That's A Good Thing." for their shitbag propaganda headlines. Disney didn't spend $4billion on Lucasfilm to do "ok", they bought it because Star Wars used to make all of the fucking money.
>>220765414They should never have called him Grogu.
>>220776081It's fucking stupid. If they had half a brain, Yeed would have stayed with Luke, Mando would have gone back to bounty hunting, and Luke and Grogu would have shown up again when shit got real either in Mandalorian or some other show. Also, recast Sebastian Stan as Luke instead of doing the deepfake thing. Maybe give him some prosthesis or something to make him look more like post-accident Hammill, but he's pretty damn close regardless. There was just something kind of cool about Luke's first student of his new order being the same species as his master, and who would presumably live on to train countless more generations of future Jedi long after Luke himself is gone. There was a cool cyclical element to it that I kind of liked. But no, got to sell those plushies, man.
>>220765414RedLetterMedia fans BTFO!
>>220768373>See the first X-Files movie for an example of tv episodes put on the big screen done rightnobody likes the fuckin movie
>>220776034> freelancers that people try to avoidsounds like boba fett. oh yeah wait this shit is lets make a character that's boba fett, but then flesh him out as like, some faggot. destroying his mystique but its ok because it's not actually boba fett.
The EU and the Prequels are still fucking garbage
>>220777919oh wait i forgot the prequels already gave boba fett a retarded face and dumb backstory so that explains why they made a new character to take it back to a cool guy
>>220777968OT Boba Fett was just a random background character who died stupidly after doing nothing. Only reason anyone gave a shit about him is the cool looking armor and that canceled toy prototype that's worth a bazillion dollars. Disney's mistake was going back and making a Boba Fett show that made him an old fat uncool boomer after they already did a superior version with Mando. Dude was fucking DEAD and they retconned 40 years later it just to make that turd.
>>220777602Yeah they should've kept the name Baby Yoda and reveal that he's literally Yoda when he was a baby and he used the Force to travel hundreds of years in the future after he was supposed to die so he could live a few hundred years after that.
>>220777890What the fuck are you on? It was a hit and everyone liked it. It's the second movie that was trash.
>>220765414Goddam. That’s a really anemic holiday weekend.
>>220765414BABY SNEED NOOOOO
>>220765414>Baby Yoda has just failed to reach 100 million domestic.It's okay to be a failure Baby Yeed. Remember that the creator was a massive failure.
>>220777117you could honestly tell more or less the same story and just change the characters names and not lose a whole lot desu. it's not like Andor's backstory is particularly relevant in Rogue One itself.
>>220765414Sadly, it's over for Mongo and Garyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBnnauqM4wU
>>220779075this hack glazed the shit out of that horrible fantastic 4 movie that bombed he tricked me into watching it so I've ignored his opinions since
>>220767812yep
>>220767261thats the most common critique of andor and simply stating the world is just a backdrop is not a good faith argument you can deconstruct and film or programme like that
>>220779075Post the pasta
>>220777667They never really knew what to do. They'd give him shit like a spear for one episode then a lightsaber. They were always just throwing shit at the wall. Even on the basic level of what he was professionally he'd swing between stoic no nonsense pragmatist and a goody two shoes. Pascal was like 40 when this started but he's characterized as both old and young at the same time. The other mandalorians treat him like shit and he has low level gear and no jetpack then suddenly he's like the fuckin king. When they took his helmet off the first time it's like he's supposed to be 24 or something but it's a grandpa aged man.
>>220767000Oooof that's bad
>>220765414BABY SNEED
>>220767261>People talk about how great Andor was, but here's the real trvthnvke: there was no reason for Andor to be a Star Wars show.If Andor doesn't feel like Star Wars then doesn't that hugely limit a massive the setting where you can only remake the same film again and again, so you don't explore with the IP.
Let's be honest, Mandalorian got killed by Boba Fett when it pretty much retconed the 2nd season.
>>220767000why tf is it over 2 hours? casual fans do not want to sit in the theater that long and the hardcore fans stopped caring about these guys after covid.
>>220776374>A shame too.not really
The concept of film is dead if you can just port over a TV show. They are not the same experience. Prestige TV and film are not the same. That's why this sucks. It's why Many Saints of Newark sucks.
>>220777819RLM didn't like it tho
>>220774131Now show us the Galaxy Gobbler
>>220765414Unironically one of the worst movies I've seen all year so far. It was alarmingly boring. I don't know how you make this story boring, on paper it seems fun.
