Both of knock it off. You put up fronts of being tough guys but also can't seem to take it when someone else is serving it up. We're all adults. Act like it.

Too late for the main series, but good for the franchise as a whole. IF it's true.

When JJ Abrams is the GOOD reboot director, you know you done fvcked up.

With respect to all individuals involved, though... this is what happens when you rush.

Based on the fact that they announced a million new Star Wars things before the ink on the Lucas buyout contract was signed, and also, that they sincerely wanted to release 1-2 movies per year indefinitely... the odds of anything actually turning out GREAT (if not at least good) was always very slim. I'm shocked to see the bloom fall off of the rose so early, but it was only a matter of time anyway.

They didn't take time to measure things out, they jumped in with both feet while everyone was excited about the buyout in the hope that they could capitalize on everyone's goodwill and Nostalgia Fuzzies. It worked the first time - mostly - but it didn't work the second time, and everything in between has been getting a mixed reaction, as well. They just tried to do too much too fast. Combine that with a very obstinate refusal to listen to any criticism whatsoever, and they were on very shaky ground to start with.

I have my opinions about directors and their respective choices, of course. But frankly, I don't think anyone could have achieved greatness under the guidelines Disney established from the beginning.

I've seen exactly ONE Rian Johnson movie - TLJ - and I really didn't like it, so that's all I can say about him. I've disliked a few of JJ's films, some of his ideas for other movies he didn't get to make were atrocious, but I've also seen a few that I enjoyed, so I can't blame him too much. I'd bet any money that most of his "Star Wars" decisions weren't even made by him, but came from Those Upon High, and the rest of the movie's execution is a matter of style and taste. I'd love to blame Rian Johnson entirely for TLJ, but again, I doubt he bears the brunt of the responsibility. Directors are like figureheads on these kinds of productions; they definitely have input, but it's all in service to the larger story that the production company wants to tell. The rest is just "flair".

That said, based on Rian's handling of... "The Situation", it seems to me like he doesn't "get" Star Wars and it's probably best that he stay away from it. But I think Disney needs to take serious stock before moving forward. They can't just keep blaming manchildren and misogynists for the fact that a lot of the choices they made for the last few movies have been absolutely bananas.

Good to see you learned something from this debacle, ya smug prick.

"At one point, he [Rian] seemed to forget he was working on a Star Wars film. He kept referring to Peter Mayhew as 'big foot' and would constantly ask why the hell all these flash lights had sticks coming out of them. When finally confronted by concerned crew members, Rian said he didn't really pay attention in history class and frankly didn't give a damn that 'Robey wants a boney'. Rian then stared off into space for a moment before audibly ******** his own pants, then resumed working as though he didn't just soil himself. It was at this point we started worrying about how the movie would turn out."

It's telling that people have to ask.

I am eagerly awaiting the day, when it will be revealed that RJ had harassed someone or something like that.

Someone so full of himself should be taken down a peg or two.

Gross.

Did they not get the memo that most - not all, but most - chicks don't care about Star Wars and stuff like that? I get trying to "expand your market share" and all that, but it seems foolish. Those girl-centric SW dolls clogged up shelves for over a year before they got Clearance tagged and tossed out. Girls are (VERY broad general statement here) not the main audience and never will be.

But sure, cut off your nose to spite your face. Whatever.

~~Vegita-San~~ · 02-16-2019, 04:48 AM

warning, language. but, disney is doubling down on this crap everywhere, it seems.

What's hilarious is, I was always a fan of the prominent female Star Wars characters from way back. Without needing to be told I had to like them, or else I'd have my "Good Person" card revoked. I was even a big fan of Rey, when I assumed she had a good reason for being gifted, and she wasn't just "Captain Badass" for no reason at all. I'd be there Opening Night for a movie about Bastila Shan, no question.

But it's like the more people tell me what I'm supposed to think or care about, the more I reject that notion. Something tells me I'm not alone in this.

If I was a fan of conspiracies, I'd waged a guess, that Disney wants to get insurance that, if SW9 is a failure they can blame for that, not lack of direction or incompetent writers and directors, but nebulous "white males".

Otherwise, they still want those progressive cookies for whatever reason. Guess, being embraced by loony bin rejects is more important than making money.

So those earlier rumors are true... maybe?

"No, sir!! It's totally not a "damage control" after divisive reception of TLJ!! We just...ugh...rewriting stuff, yeah, just rewriting to remove the stink of...I mean, to make Star Wars great again!!"
