Star Wars Funeral Parlor

A guy mourning the state of Star Wars. Before anybody asks, I will never watch Andor.

In the first scene of the Last Jedi, the First Order fleet arrive at a planet as the resistance are making their escape. They arrive in orbit. They are in the vacuum of space, somehow they’re visible from the planet and YOU CAN HEAR THEM ARRIVE. This film is truly, deeply - stupid.

I am once again watching The Video and the shill saying "once you get in the elevator to the hotel, in my opinion, that's when the experience really begins" took me out hard OH? THE EXPERIENCE STARTS WHEN YOU GET THERE? INDEED!

Getting my back blown out in the haunted, abandoned restaurant in the Star Wars Starship Hotel by a chick dressed like a Twilek called that an Immersive Sexperience.

I don't really understand why "Skywalker" became a dirty word in modern Star Wars fandom. I'll see all these seething rants about how pre Disney Star Wars supported nepotism and...what? The original trilogy is literally about a guy choosing to avenge his dead father and then learning his father-

The baggage of the MCU tends to suck the air out of its projects for me. I don’t want to feel like I need to do homework. Show me a guy who slays vampires. Show me a dude who spins webs. I don’t care about any of the universe’s machinations. The multiverse even less so.

The thing that fascinates me about "super hero fatigue" as a talking point is that no other genre gets it. Nobody's ever said sci-fi fatigue because Star Wars isn't doing great. On an individual level you can not like horror but if you said the entire genre was objectively bad you'd get mocked.

or you could, like, I dunno- maybe quit beating a 50 year old dead horse & instead invest the billions into things like free clinics, food programs, schools, daycare, libraries etc. as a thank you for the decades of loyalty from your consumers. www.polygon.com/star-wars-lu...

For Star Wars' 50th anniversary, Disney is officially remaking the original trilogy

Lucasfilm Publishing revealed the original Star Wars film is being reimagined next year.

L-Gaim continues to be a really good Saturday Morning cartoon. It's interesting that real robot shows are typically seen as darker and more serious (Gundam, basically) when this is very much a real robot series that is reveling in being campy and goofy.

I gotta say. The last ten years, among other things? Absolutely radicalized me against the very concept of franchises. Let. Stories. End. Even the big name media that codified the franchise as a thing, like Star Wars, have been reduced to skeletal husks.
