Star Wars

Disney appears to considering building a second Galactic Starcruiser at Disneyland. That would be an incredibly stupid move. If the hotel can’t break even at the tourist park in Florida, it would be a disaster at the locals’ park in California.

Haven’t gotten there yet, but this is where the show could go completely wrong, or be perfect, or kind of both. Will be interesting when I finally watch it.

Haslab is trying to crowdfund an inquisitor lightsaber. It’s $500, and they’re trying to sell it as though it’s Reva’s unique weapon. It isn’t. All inquisitors use the same issue saber.

@ANoobis  
The Reva lightsaber is only a few days from failing its backer goal. It has barely more than 1300 backers out of 4000 necessary to go to production. As far as I know, this will only be the second Haslabs Star Wars figure to fail its crowdfunding campaign, with that $350 rancor being the first.
 

@ANoobis  
Why can’t they just make toys? Like they used to, they would just make stuff.
 

 

@Dex Stewart  
Lack of demand for Disney Wars toys?
 
Guess all those unsold Rose Tico figures got to them.
 
Gotta gauge the interest before committing, now.

@Exhumed Legume  
Rose ruins everything. Poor Rose.  

The buzz around the upcoming Skeleton Crew show is weird. I’m not hearing much about plot or characters so far. Instead, it’s about how expensive it is, and that sweetheart deal California gave Disney to incentivize them to film there.

@ANoobis  
What I’m getting out of that is, it’s going to be so bad there’s literally nothing positive anyone can say about it.

@ANoobis  
I am reading that they haven’t even started produce but rumored to soon. I think it might be Disney’s hype machine just throwing out what little it’s got. Considering how sometimes they have announced stuff when it is just in the concept phase before with nothing to go on.

 

 

There are rumors going around that Star Wars is restricted to tv shows for the time being. If this is accurate, no new movies will be greenlit until at least 2024.

@ANoobis  
I could totally believe that. Recession and war, regardless of more shabby performances of later films would push them to take a step back naturally.

Maul’s name never made sense to me. Dooku became Darth Tyranus, but Maul became Darth Maul. It isn’t even like Maul was an edgy nickname he already had, that’s just how given names apparently work in his species. His brother’s name is Savage Opress. It’s not any different from Palpatine finding a guy named Chet and naming him Darth Chet.

It’s been less than a year, and the Galactic Starcruiser hotel has already burnt through its customer pool. They should have known that a one-and-done Instagram selfie opportunity that costs $6000 per night wasn’t sustainable.

If Disney decanonized 7-9 and replaced them with a trilogy following Jar Jar, I think it would be an improvement.  

@ponypony221  
Only if they also decanonize his end. A trilogy of him being a lonely, homeless busker probably wouldn’t be that fun.

@ANoobis  
He is merely biding his time, waiting for the right moment.  

Make Jar Jar a badass bounty hunter.

Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron movie is dead. Between this and WW3 and her Cleopatra movie going belly up, Patty Jenkins seems to be her way out of Hollywood.

Today is the 5th anniversary of Last Jedi.  
So Twitter is full of weirdos insisting it was the best thing ever. Oh wait, they do that every day.  
🎵If every day was christmas, it wouldn’t be Christmas at all🎵  
I didn’t hate TLJ, but the constant shoving in my face that it’s the greatest thing ever is like in school I was indifferent to sports, but it was so overly pushed into every aspect, that indifference turned into outright dislike.  
On the lighter side, I get to remember all the silly things in TLJ.
 
Remember when Galen Erso designed obvious death traps and figured no one would actually be stupid enough to use them in battle?
 

 
Luke contemplating murdering his nephew but it’s okay because he didn’t actually go through with it.
 

 
That time Leia turned into Superman.  

 
The noble sacrifice of space Karen.  

 
The absolutely necessary not filler at all b plot with Finn and girl who endangers his life multiple times going to space Vegas and rescuing space horses.  

 
It wasn’t all bad. They finally kill Snoke.  

 
The best scene got cut though.  

 
And final thoughts
