On the topic of book adaptations, I remembered the Percy Jackson series, which was just American Harry Potter with Gods. Anyways one of the complaints was the lack of PeeeeOSeeees in the series so when the sequel came out Rick Riordan went all out with the tokenism stereotypes.

You had your Latino character, the Oriental, the black girl from Louisiana and the Native American girl. Then you had the feisty strong Latina and the gay who had crush on a straight boy.

Off the top of my head: the Mexican was good at fixing mechanical, the Chinese dude could transform into a dragon and other creatures (I think), the black girl's mother did Voodoo/magic (they were from Lousiana after all), the Native American girl could sing and kept on referencing Native American legends and the Puerto Rican girl was "strong and fiesty" (like ya know your stereotypical Latina girl).

This was a parody of the idea right?

I kinda wonder if Lucasfilm was more accepting of the criticism(whether they wanted to listen or not), would the backlash be so severe for TLJ?

I mean when you say garbage like SW never had female characters when the EU was ripe with them, and their answer to that is Rose Tico and Admiral Gender studies... Also how fucking retarded can you be to say on camera you don't want a male demographic anymore? But wait, you're still a woman hating nazi if you don't consume their product that isn't made for your white male ass.

I've read Kennedy saying how she doesn't feel beholden to the young male demo(something to that effect). Then she would lead into "Star Wars is for everyone."

The statement is fine but, as I have written before, the identity of Star Wars is built on 8-12 year old boy sensibilities. So, if you're going to do a female lead driven story: you still have to appeal to that demo(it's still your primary audience)...

With that said, I don't believe she has ever said, explicitly, that she doesn't want that demographic. That seems seems so mindbogglingly stupid, even for Kennedy. Was it some writer, like Wendig, who made the statement?
 
Her first statement. SW was primarily liked by young males but it never geared itself towards them. SW WAS for everybody. You had ass kicking Jedi of both genders across several eras. But these snakes will ignore all of that to push THEIR superior product with a thousand genders .

Star Wars developed mass appeal to everyone. But, that was a pleasant side effect. It was created primarly for 8-12 year old boys. Don't take my word for it, you can read the intent of the creator...

Those sensibilities are within its DNA. If thats what she believes, it's probably a significant reason why Star Wars has an identity crisis now...

It's the equivalency of saying: Superheroes are for everyone!!!

They can be, but thats not what its sensibilities are rooted in...

It's kind of wack how fucking fast it went from "Is that Palpatine's laugh?" to having him on the god damn poster without a single reference to anything. He could've been the mastermind behind Snoke or some shit to actually build up the suspense and link, but instead of an intensely clever homage to the original trilogy, it literally just goes "uh, they already caught on, let's just continue to yank the fan service horn".

At least if we saw a bald bitch dark side Rey it'd be cool, but we won't. It'll be another "snapping in the mirror" or "vision that leads nowhere". Honestly at this point I just want to see my man Jayden get some screentime.

It's likely that Palpatine's return is a last minute measure thought up by JJ Abrams after Rian Johnson killed off the main villian he created.

In his most recent video he says that in Disney canon the hyperdrive was invented only 1000 years before ANH, and the Republic was established in 1032 BBY. These would be shocking changes if true, but I can't find them on Wookieepedia, even after skimming through some of the edits. Instead it says that "hyperspace sextants" were used to navigate hyperspace in 3966, (not necessarily when hyperdrive was invented,) and that the "Old Republic" and "Galactic Republic" are considered separate entities. The Galactic Republic was founded during or after 1019 BBY, and the Old Republic was founded at an unspecified date before 5000 or 6022 BBY.

Today I also learned that according to a now deleted and probably unarchived tweet from Pablo Hidalgo, the reason you could see the Hosnian system blowing up from other systems, is because a side effect of the Starkiller is "some weird hand-wavy hyperspace rip." Make of that what you will.

So apparently Colin Trevorrow hated that he couldn’t do anything from TLJ for Episode IX so he left.

Yep, no one wanted to listen to him, everytime he had to meet with Kennedy in her office it would turn into a heated discussion with a lot of shouting. To me, this tweet says a lot. I have not watched the Jurassic World movies but from what I've heard even if they aren't great, at least they didn't try to erase the past movies.

I like Colin Trevorrow, he seems like a genuine person.

The Jurassic World movies have their flaws, I wish that they were better, but they don't make me angry, they seem to come from a place of just wanting to entertain you, not preach at you, which makes me more forgiving of their flaws.

I say that as a huge Jurassic Park fan, it's my all time favorite movie, so if Colin Trevorrow managed to make movies that I don't think are great, but don't make me, a hardcore JP fan, angry, that says a lot.

So it's arguable how talented Colin Trevorrow is, but he's at least not a total shithead unlike say Rian Johnson.

In fairness to 343i they seem to have learned and are leaving trash like Uruk-Sangheli in the past.
That's a hell of a lot more than you could say for Kennedy and crew.

Well that is because they know that with FPS games, it is for certain a male dominated market and will likely remain a male dominated market with a few exceptions like Overwatch and other MOBA-like shooters with a cutesy art style, even that isn't the largest numbers.

I will say this about 343i; Unlike Disney, from what I’ve seen they’re actually doing a decent job at listening to fan feedback

JW movies aren't great (mostly I find the plots about military dinosaurs really dumb), but I agree - they don't make me angry, I don't feel like they are shitting on the existing JP movies.

They are doing their own thing, with a few ties and references/callbacks to the original movie. The cameos are infrequent and good/believable use of the characters when they do.
I find the movie plots sort of dumb, and the bad guys just being the way over the top bad (to the point of being dumb), but that's probably just an effect of me not being the target audience. And that's fine - more importantly, Colin, Chris, or Bryce isn't hopping on every form of media telling you that you're a racists sexist Nazi if you don't like the movies or don't think Claire is the best character in the franchise.

To highlight this point, I want to show you the greatness that is the "TattúínárdǾla Saga".
It's the first 6 Star Wars movies, retold as an Icelandic Saga.

If that doesn't proof that you can adapt a story to a different genre and retain it's qualities, I don't know what is.
Of course, you'll have to adapt it smartly and you'll have to change a few things (after all, there is a difference between how a spacebattle goes and how vikings would do battle), but story-wise it only changes very little, the central theme of the conflict remains.

Here's the part after Padme died in Iceland and Anakin reaches the shores:

This shit is completely crazy and that's why it's so awesome.

btw, I recommend skipping ahead to the OT part of the Saga, it's pretty rad.


How is it that this silly text does Han Solo and Chewbacca more justice than the fucking Disney media in its entirety?

Also, welcome to page 666, if the spacegods are pleased, this page will coincide with a major Disney Fuck-Up.

Not going to lie, that was the craziest shit I read yesterday.

I don't know how to feel about it, such as the way it ended.
 
I thought today was the official release day of Star Wars LEGOs, but now some are saying September 7th.
The Star Destroyer pictures are everywhere so whatever. They have really improved on previous sets.

He is a real SJW shit tier writer and as he is Texan his shit haves quite a bit of shelf space here. And there's the bitch fit he threw when turning down a Texas literary award cause Gov. Abbott and TX State Congress were against men *excuse me* transqueer using women's restrooms back in 2017.
 
The whole Snoke being Palaptines vessel is a terrible idea and not well thought out. It's pretty much an openly known fact in the books that the Empire and Palpatine are super Xenophobic. That's a big part of why that Chiss general, despite his achievements, was kept running stuff on the outskirts. Even Pappa Palp's knew his commanders would have a huge issue with an alien being there equal.


Edit: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Xenophobia

Even though Disney scrapped the entire SW EU(now called Legends), it seems like they kept that in. Personally, I wish they had gone the Jacen/Jaina solo route with Jacen becoming Caedus and trying to corrupt Ben Skywalker.
