Disney Wars can't even produce complete lego sets? What a fucking embarrassment.
Edit: Then again they have always been pretty lackluster at managing their info for ages and causing no ends of embarrassment due to their inability to tell apart jokes from fact, but that seems to be a problem with the retard magnets that are wikis in general.
Not that you aren't right, but in regards to Wookieepedo, there's really nothing to enjoy about it anymore though. That place has been an utter decaying shithole for 6 years. I'm just amused at how they somehow managed to surpass their already impressive faggotry. Its basically just adding more wood to the fire in regards to them.

in all fairness this isn't a playset, if you spend 700 eurobucks on a nerd attentionpiece intended to be shown off it doesn't really matter what color the bricks inside have (never mind the death star set does exactly what he's complaining about because that's what it was designed for). and I wouldn't put it past lego being fully aware how retarded people are and made it different on purpose or else have to deal with people too dumb to assemble a fucking lego set.
as for the price, disney probably took a nice little license fee bonus so of course it will have the appropriate price tag (which can have an effect on their other stuff).
and that's why that notion is so fucking retarded it makes me rant. if it plays during the OT of fucking course you'll inevitable see widely used tech and vehicles like a tie fighter because it makes sense. what doesn't is shoehorning shit in just for some pandering reducing it to fan-fiction tier. if you need to have it prop up your OC donut steel you need to get back to the drawing board or better gtfo already. in the end it comes down to writing and how you use the source material, declaring "it will be inevitably be shit if done wrong" is utterly stupid. no fucking shit sherlock.
it gets even more retarded because following that logic literally any period piece is just piggybacking of "historical event X". gee, why do you see shit that was literally used everywhere literally everywhere? does that mean you can't used ships appropriate during that era in an ancient greek story because they were also used during the fucking odyssey?
even more so when it comes from rich evans who plays videogames, so should know better that you can have new material in an established setting without having it be just another retelling of the same shit you watched already. and even if you use iconic locations there's a reason they're fucking iconic. imagine your ww2 game not having a beach landing because "omaha beach exists and has been done already".
not to mention it's not even consistent, because if you go with that ep5+6 are just "boring retreats of ANH" or some stupid shit (which they actually are in a way since it was never intended to be a trilogy). so when even the source material itself proves you wrong what does it say about this stupid theory?
/rant end
holy fucking shit, why did you make want an old man katarn show now?

OR, you could accept the theory that Anakin was using his force influence to wear down her will. You could interpret it as Anakin force-influenced her to wear that.
In any case, that scene did lead to a pretty funny Robot Chicken sketch.

Solid agree. It also didn't completely invalidate the struggles of the OT, you make all your favorite characters old limpwristed shells of their former selves.
Eh, its all virtual signaling but unlike the Gentle Giant of Ferguson, St. Traytray, or Eric "Hambeast" Garner, unless there have been some drastic new developments this looks like it was an actual case of legit police brutality. (where a compliant suspect, one being arrested for non-violent crime, who didn't play stupid games with the cops ended up winning a stupid prize anyway.) Though I'm sure that if video did come out showing Floyd pulling a gun on officers and otherwise wildin' before his arrest surfaces they wouldn't issue any retractions or change their statements
You can point out that most of the statements are fucktarded for siding with people rioting and destroying their own neighborhoods, but its Hollywood. its a great for the oppressed to be making a political statement as long as they aren't doing it in Beverly Hills.
I'm sure a bunch of lego hotline calls to frustrated parents and manchildren and they just said fuck it, we're making it red and yellow so you can see it.
Um, Erm, ahem, I what I meant to say Lego is for children and sexless nerds you embarassing pack of fucking incel faggot manchildren.

I think the prequels had some good ideas and a lot of creativity went into them but, I just think everything outside of the Original Trilogy was patently unnecessary. I understand why fans and writers and Lucas wanted to expand upon it, I understand the GNP-sized mound of money to be made from it, I understand that nothing short of Yellowstone blowing up would have prevented more Star Wars from being made, but I just feel it was unneeded. When you examine the story formula, the simplicity of the villains, it's evident that Star Wars was made as a platform for young children with imaginations to role play. This is a healthy thing, and I'm sure it brought a lot of joy to young boys and toy collectors, but when you try to build a fully adult, dramatic story with lore and real world sensibility around it, -- when you try to "Games of Throneify" it -- you find yourself having to change the very nature of the series, and the new "prequel" movies just don't seem to gel all that well with the old. They feel "different", like they belong to a different genre (or genres) than the original trilogy.
It's sort of like how Tolkien's "The Hobbit" differs from Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings/ The Silmarillion." They all belong in the same universe and feature some of the same characters, but the Hobbit is very clearly a kids' story, while LOTR is more of a grown up Adventure story and The Silmarillion is more a Mythos Story. I feel that The original Star Wars Trilogy is firmly a kids/ young teen adventure story, and the Prequels try to be that, but they also try to pull off a whole lot of other things as well - lore dump, young adult romance, Shakespearean tragedy, etc. It comes across as very disjointed. The same series that has the comic relief lizard stepping into poop will then have dramatic character deaths, love scenes, boring Senate meetings, children getting slaughtered. and the main character melting in a fire. It's all over the place. It's like one of those shitty animes where the writers try to cram fantasy, gender-swapping, drama, comedy and porn all in the same series, and, while it may pull off the separate elements competently, it doesn't seem to gel overall. There's too much stuff in there.
The fact of the matter is, the Prequel story works better as background backstory than it does as an independent story of its own. The Original Trilogy doesn't require you to see it to understand what is going on, and, in fact, works better if you DON'T see it in numbered order, since it spoils Luke's connection to Vader (the emotional lynchpin of the series) and spoils Yoda being a Jedi before Luke (and the audience if it didn't watch the PT) learns of it.
I understand people want a more "adult" version of the Star Wars universe that they can enjoy. I understand that people want to see the events that occur in the Prequel Era of Star Wars. I understand they want to see what happens to Luke and the rest of the heroes after ROTJ, and that's fine. I know there are a lot of good stories, games and comics out there that cater to the needs of those fans. But I just don't think there will ever be a good Star Wars movie, because our society just doesn't produce the kinds of people who could write one anymore. (Or at least, those kinds of people don't tend to become Hollywood screenwriters anymore.) It seems we've been able to get a decent TV show out of the franchise, but who knows where that will go?

I noticed something gaining quite a few visits over on Wookieepedo these last few days. Disney Wars made a character in the moronic Darth Moomin comic that's actually named KKKt.

Meet his most esteemed highness, the Grand Clan Dragon Father of the KKKt clan! Whose goal is to cleanse all foreign invaders on Mustafar in molten fire. lmao I can't believe they actually made something like this. The pose is icing on the cake of irony.
Edit: lol he's a nominee for featured article. I wonder how the riot-loving Wookieepedo reps feel about this.
Kkkt
Father Kkkt was a Force-sensitive male Southern Mustafarian who was the leader of a clanhold on the planet Mustafar during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Kkkt was present when the Sith Lord Darth Vader arrived on Mustafar and sent out a scout party to investigate his landing site, with only...

That arc was stupid as fuck overall. Remember how it basically ripped off a joke from Monty Python?
I also remember Darth Vader getting a lava bath in that comic. These comics swing back and forth on how strong Vader is. Like how in Vader Down where he fights his way clear even though he's literally surrounded on all sides.
Then a couple of series later he's getting his ass kicked by Aphra. He's either stupidly OP or really pathetic, he swings from one side of the spectrum to the other.

Either that or its just another layer on the cake of irony.
The MP joke was just so horribly done and out of place, and that goes without mentioning what an absolute clusterfuck the final issues of that comic were. Bullshit and paradoxes left and right without rhyme or reason while making the villains shittier versions of Revan and a genderswapped Malak.
From this to...

It's a 700€ display set, there is no excuse to make the insides look like a clown barfed a rainbow into it to make it easier to assemble and as Sinners Sandwich pointed out, since the colors are very bright, you are always going to see the colors flashing through the (at certain places pretty wide) gaps. The guy in the video points out one particularly bad piece that is sitting right on the top edge, so when you look at the set from anywhere above the mid-line, that long blue brick will be visible.
I mean, just let that sink in: You buy a set for 700€ and then have to sink even more money into some grey bricks to replace the ones that are visible from the outside. Buying them online costs a few Euros, something that Lego could have prevented by merely not using leftover bricks from whatever color-vomit sets they shat out in the past.
They did the same with their black and white Steamboat Willie set, on the inside it looks like something OPL would have build.

Interesting to see the franchise release something like this and then subsequently use an Ahsoka quote to show support for the weekend's
I can relate to those posters that find it hard to enjoy SW given the awfulness of the ST and other SW content Disney has released. All I can suggest in response is don't let Disney control what you still might like from the franchise. They don't deserve the satisfaction. I'd rather enjoy the Lucas-era aspects I always have while dismissing Disney content as an alternative reality or shit-tier fan fiction.
NGL, an appreciation for the older content I grew up with -- and a general disgust for what Disney has done with SW -- is part of what led me to find and buy a used copy of Splinter of the Mind's Eye last year. Loved being able to reread it and seeing what good SW content once looked like.

So I was talking to a friend about how some of the character concepts in the sequel trilogy had some promise- like, in my opinion, a girl who's actually Palpatine's descendant who has grown up abandoned and isolated and unaware of her heritage and has immense power is a really good concept. I ended up spitballing some stuff about what I'd do with that concept if I was in charge and I thought I might as well share with you guys.
If I was in charge of her I'd have made it so that she's got a ton of power but doesn't know how to control it, not really. She's taught herself a few lil tricks on Jakku (can make small stuff float, can force pull small objects into her hand, kind of force push someone who's attacking her, little stuff) but because she's so isolated from the rest of the galaxy she has no idea what these powers actually are and she doesn't really realize how deep her well of power actually is.
In the first movie (because I want to streamline this trilogy, god damn it) when she meets Luke, who in this version would NOT be a crotchety old hermit, and becomes his padawan she starts tapping into her powers more and more but drawing from that well threatens to pull her in over her head and drown her. So throughout the trilogy, she's getting more powerful but she's also getting more brash and Anakin-like, in a massive twist of irony. At one point she'd get so angry or upset she'd end up breaking everything in the room that she's in (kinda like Vader's scream after he finds out Padme's dead). The whole time Luke is like half her master, half her tard-wrangler, keeping her in check and trying to train her to control her powers.
Her whole arc would be her gaining true control over herself, and her and Luke avoiding repeating history and Anakin and Obi-Wan's mistakes. There'd be a lot of parallels between the two duos and showing that while history is cyclical, you don't have to follow in your predecessor's footsteps. Ultimately she comes to terms with her lineage and decides to buck her grandfather's legacy and become a force of good in the galaxy and bring honor to the Palpatine name once again.
Palps wouldn't actually come back because like hell am I gonna negate Anakin's sacrifice like that. Instead, Snoke would be the big bad of the series, a man who wants to take over the galaxy again because he views the protection the Empire gave as something that was worth the totalitarianism. When he learns of Rey's existence, he sees her as both a weapon and a political pawn and tries to sway her over to his side to both legitimize his cause and be the "enforcer" (hah) of his regime. He keeps telling her that because Palpatine blood runs through her veins, she's pretty much destined to follow in his footsteps, further tying into her identity crisis and the theme of destiny.
Also, her being a Palpatine and refusing to follow the destiny that blood has set out for her could be a really cool parallel to Kylo, who has the same problem but in reverse. (Not related to Rey, but I'd make it so that there'd be more Skywalker kids than just Kylo because fuck letting the Skywalker lineage die out with that bastard.)
What do you guys think? This was like fifteen minutes's worth of me and her bouncing ideas around.

Yep, you got it. I personally see where you are coming from with the prequels but they grew with me over time, we appreciate their intention more than their execution. In the end, it was enjoyable and thats what matters. But as you said, a lot of creative writers are either going political in their writings (or being forced to), to which leads their works becoming stale and creatively bankrupt rather quickly. All these movies and series stabbing Trump are going to age like milk (or rather already have) when he is gone from office in another 4 years (and hopefully another republican president takes the office as I think the democrat party has become literally incapable of proper leadership). A lot of creative writers who arent going political are going indepedent from the system (which is my advice for any creative minds out there), it may be "harder" but with how politics are ruining mainstream entertainment, their time to shine may be at hand.
Politics are poison for creative writing, with maybe some very rare exceptions (tho I admit I cant think of examples right now) because if your story requires knowledge of current political events and, even worse, a stance on the matter, then its dead on arrival. A good SW movie cant made anymore on the simple fact that the people making them simply...dont...GET why and how it was so good, they try to reproduce an older recipe with their modern shit and of course it turns out to be shit. SW requires a certain type of mindset and belief to work, or, at the very least, it requires you not being a post modernist like Rian.
