Disney Just Made Everyone Bigots! 

Welcome all. The weirdos at Lucasfilm are at it again. Good luck explaining it to the kids. You can find me on Twitter and Instagram. And do the “Like”, “Subscribe” and “Bell” thing so you don’t miss a video. Cheers!

Has Lucasfilm forgot that Bo Katan is a former Mandalorian terror1st, murdered an entire village of innocent people, attempted to murder her sister, killed her own former teammates, and refused to honor the outcome of Mandalorian honor duels. Bo Katan is NOT a hero!

Disney is concerned with the oppression of everyone except for the very real oppression of the people where they filmed Mulan. That is AOK as far as Disney is concerned.

Disney: *caters to 10% of the "modern audience" and attacks the other 90%* "Why are we losing viewers and money?!"

All Disney had to do was take the books and comics. Just pay the writers a fee and enjoy free billions. All that we wanted.

It's not that Hollywood can't decide who the heroes and villains are, it's that they don't know what makes characters heroes and villains.

I sincerely love how KK once said,"WE'RE NOT MARVEL! WE DON'T HAVE YEARS AND YEARS OF SOURCE MATERIAL. JUST PASSIONATE STORYTELLERS." three years later she's gonna use the Legends books to write new Star Wars stories, only with her approved characters.

I can't imagine why the people who run disney would want to sexualize characters that are meant to appeal to children...whatever could be the motivation

In Star Wars Legends there was 3-4 Droid Uprisings that explains why Droids don't have rights. Disney doesn't touch upon things like this in their version because it's too complicated.

"If droids could think, there would be none of us here, would there?" - Obi Wan Kenobi

the inconsistencies become more and more clear in modern star wars

I lost it at the droid morgue scene

Disney writers must be just a room of hacks who are on Twitter every other second.

Disney REALLY doesn't understand Star Wars, that much is clear.

In ep7 they put Grogu in IG-11's corpse and Mando doesn't give a shit, even though he wanted to resurrect this droid in episode 1...

There’s no way out of this. They’re destroying everything. No franchise will be left unscathed.

Mando ended with Season 2. A heartwarming goodbye from the Child, Djardins future unclear, Luke training Grogu and so preventing Force Awakens/Last Jedi/Rise of Skywalker ever happening

One of the reasons I liked Luke when I was a kid, is that he was the only one who was nice to the droids. He was the only human who ever let C-3PO finish his introduction. After that, 3PO always called Luke "Master Luke" even when it didn't seem like Luke was his master. The only other character that ever let C-3PO finish introducing himself was R2-D2 who was his best friend for life.

Considering how Han usually treats Threepio, his reaction to the droid interrupting his first kiss with Leia was surprisingly civil😊 Side note: this interruption is even more funny when you remember that Threepio was constructed by Leia's father😁

This is slightly off topic, but another thing Disney understand is that restraining bolts don’t control droids to do what the user wants them to do. They just RESTRAIN a droid from committing an action when the user presses a button to activate the bolt. But this lore was completely ignored during the making of the Obi-Wan show.

I figured that in “Andor” it wasn’t that they had to have humans do the work, it’s just that there are only so many droids and you happen to have free criminal labor, so why not use them?

I read as a kid that droids develop personalities if they don't have their memories wiped regularly. But also a droid can usually be repaired if destroyed, so who cares if it is damaged? There's a lot of weird conversations to have.

The way Disney treated R2 and 3PO and just completely SIDELINED them in the god awful Disney Trilogy is still completely UNFORGIVABLE

Bo katan is apparently illiterate since she asked the robot bartender "Is this The Resistor?" Even though there were about ten signs that say "The Resistor".

Your line from the Solo video, when the fembot got blasted, "And Lando cried as his favorite sex toy ran out of batteries." will forever be one of the funniest things I've ever heard on the internet. Thank you for that.

Why did that super battle droid run like a human ? It looked more agile than the commando droids 😂

NOOOO!!!!! They dragged the battle droids into this!

You forget the whole C3PO scene in Rise of Palpatine where the 'heroes' labotomoise a character to get something they want and laugh about it afterwards.

I mean, it was clear in the original trilogy that droids weren't respected and were treated like second class citizens....but it was also clear that they were sentient and had human-luke emotions. C3P0 was the most emotional, neurotic character in the movies

Seems like the 'My-Tamagotchi-must-not-die' kids are now old enough to be Disney's creative leaders..

I remember in TCW animated show how Bo basically rejected a fair and honorable duel that even the dude Maul essentially admited won fair and square, but instead she runs off and that’s when I KNEW I would never like her, she’s a hypocrite that can kill and cause as much suffering as she wants, but the moment she has to conform or listen to someone else she just denies it, it’s like the character knows she’s protected by shitty writing excuses.

And yet another concept tackled in the expanded universe in so much more detail 20 years ago trampled under foot by Disney.

Can't believe Katee Sackhoff agreed to being in this mess. I hope it was just for a paycheck.

Manufactured machines with manufactured personalities? Sounds like the Star Wars story group and Kathleen Kennedy!

If L3 looked like the Twins from Atomic Heart, I wouldn't blame Lando...

HK-47 from the Knights of the Old Republic games was a great example of the nature of droids in Star Wars, especially in the second game. Though he acts as if he as some sort of affinity for the main character, he is very open about the fact that he's was programed to be an elite assassin droid and threatens that, despite however long they've worked together, he'll still attempt to kill the main character under certain circumstances. He even has a line where he describes love as "making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope." He's often treated (mostly by himself) as nothing more than a tool to be used to carry out the main character's objectives. And even though the player tends to fall in love with his witty, sarcastic, and incredibly morbid "personality," there's no mistaking the fact that he's is and will always be a machine. Though this was all written back before Disney when Star Wars was actually good.

Actually it was Lucas who started making droids more human-like, in early seasons of clone wars cartoon he made many battle droids make jokes. Which was often completely tone deaf, with droids making jokes while making clones vent out into space and die. Obviously it was a thing in the book as well, droids who don't have their cache cleared often were developing personalities, r2d2 was a prime example of that. Granted, disney went way further with the topic, but it was nice to see the subject being slightly explored in mandalorian. It wasn't a good episode but , sadly, probably the best in the season all things considered.

How the heck can a super battle droid even run or use is arms like that? Those things are slow and uncoordinated as hell...

Disney sure has some great ideas huh

Katie Sackhoff's Bo-Katan reminds me of Admiral Dougherty from Star Trek Insurrection. Particularly the scene where he gets facelifted to death. That face is her every emotion.

you would think that Lando would at least get a droid that looks like Salma Hayek in her prime, instead the right off the assembly line robot type

yeah the droid bar really bothered me. I always felt like maybe star wars droids might come close to being completely sentient if they are left on long enough without a memory wipe, but never to the point where they have their own bars and lives.

They want us to think of replaceable machines as people because they think of people as replaceable machines.

Such a waste of Christopher Lloyd's talent

It's really hard to suspend belief, when the show doesn't even know what it's trying to make you believe.

This show is more fun when you drink every time you catch yourself audibly saying, "what the fuck?"

1:00 Characters like Luke who are gear heads show more fondness for their droids than others but it is still clear that he knows that they are just machines at the end of the day.

"We are afraid we will be replaced by.... HUMANS!!!!" oh thank fuck, for a second there I thought they were gonna say Aliens, guess Aliens are alright then, just not.... HUMANS!!! But those bug bois from Episode 2, or those gross Ewoks, or Chewbacca, or that gross Yoda thing, they cool, but fuck humans am I right? Guess since Disney replaced all the Aliens with Humans, I can definitely see why the droids would be scared

I think this is a really simplified view of everything. Anakin loved droids. He thought of them as people. There have been droid rebellions before. That's why droids get regular memory wipes. So they can't expand and think too much. There is so much more depth to the druid hate than what you have shown and legends really explored it even if disney does not recognize legends. They do pull from it alot.

Great stories take time, effort, concentration, planning, consistency and world-building. Lucas for all his ups and downs understood that, Disney doesn't like any of those things and doesn't like its own fans either.

Luke didn't treat his droids like machines. i do feel like they were actually his friends

Somehow Rey Palpatine returned...

The analogue of droids and minorities is exactly the point in Lucas, especially in IV. “We don’t serve their kind”. You are right, Disney doesn’t get it, but not in the way you think. One difference is that Lucas understands fiction and metaphor, and he isn’t “pushing” anything, so he can use them to make us look at ourselves and society, and also use them as comic relief. They’re literally droids, not what they represent in any given situation. However, R2 and Threepio can only perform their if we identify with them as persons - that’s what Disney gets wrong. In many ways they’re exactly like children.

Hitting a new lows is not something that must surprise people in Disney SW universe.

Only good thing that comes out from this mess that Disney calls Star Wars is that there is Robot Head's videos that make us laugh after Disney Star Wars has made us cry. The way I see it, the writers can't take any critic on their work and admit that there is something terribly wrong in their ideas and that makes them continue to do same thing over and over again

I gotta say, when it comes to the Andor prisoner thing: If your going to keep prisoner why not make use of them? You assume there's some sort of cohesion between the Empire justice system and whatever department handles the designs and doctrines of their prisons, but in an entity so large there probably isn't. The prison side just knows they're being sent people, and so they make use of them. The Justice System probably has some sentence quota stemming from the new law being past, and that's why andor is sentenced so flippantly.

I liked that only Luke was kind to the droids, which seemed like an odd behaviour for other characters. It made him stand out in a good way. Luke also had his trusted droid R2D2 travel with him in his journey. It helped that R2D2's "character" was fun and quirky. Disney Star Wars now assigns every character its droid friend. It's annoying and lacks any imagination whatsoever. It also kills Luke's uniqueness. It could be said that this is Disney/Lucasfilms intention all along.

The problem is that in the public consciousness everything mushes together, Blade Runner, Star Wars, Star Trek. For the writers, a robot in Star Wars is the same as a robot in any other scifi story they ever read or watched. The warp drive in Star Trek now effectively is the same as the hyperdrive in Star Wars. The distinctiveness of the respective universes gets lost. Even more so with respect to background stuff.

I totally forgot about restraining bolts. You'd think if Jawas had them they are probably readily available...but that would kill the "story." Ugh....me.brain aches...

Now when I think of Disney I think of all the Disney characters like Mickey, Donald and Goofy sinking on the Titanic with the woke mob yelling at them from their lifeboats about how racist they are for giving up.

Phiebe Waller-Bridge really got to work with both Han Solo actors, huh...

Being a Star Wars fan feels like being in an abusive relationship.

They just don't understand Starwars or the universe in which it lives. Look how they now use the force, Rey could just do Jedi mind tricks and shoot lightning out her hands without adequate training!! The writers don't seem to understand that these force powers are ancient knowledge, that needs to be taught over time. That's the whole point of the Jedi order, to pass down knowledge and teachings but now the girl boss just automatically has these powers. It goes against the fundamentals of what makes a good character. Starwars needs to be under the control of somebody that knows and understands, and actually likes the franchise. Can't they see they are just devaluing the brand with every mediocre project they release. 😳

Don't forget that droids also routinely have their memories wiped specifically to avoid them developing more advanced personalities. The reason why R2-D2 is such an independent little shit, is because he never went through this process.

That awful scene in Solo, where feminist bot had a call for a revolution was the first sign. These "people" at Disney have decided to turn the robots into a cringy allegory for slavery, this is so stupid it hurts.

Equality has finally been achieved. Well done Disney!

Any view Disney had on oppression was made mute when they shrank Fin and shoved him in the back of their posters in Asia.

This really shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. There are people that believe a computer can somehow gain sentience and consciousness….

Wait... wait, L3 can just... remove it's own restraining bolt? That seems like something the 'restraining bolt' would... you know? RESTRAIN it from doing.

I think of terminator 2 when John asks the terminator it is ever afraid and he replies no I’m programmed to stay functional until my mission is completed

I could understand if there were few humans that treated droids like living creatures while many others wouldn't, but trying to make it so droids had rights is weird as they are machines. Disney is confusing now

“Bo Katan is perfect don’t you realize how she can seamlessly take her helmet on and off with out messing up a single strand of hair? Bunch of fools, how dare you???” - Greta Thunberg probably

I’m convinced that a AI bot wrote the script for the mando and this is step one in their skynet plan. 😂

Imagine if we had a show that was like an inverse battlestar galactica, where we follow a fleet of separatist ships on the run after the rise of the empire, where the droids are just looking to find their way in the galaxy now that they have no purpose with the fall of the CIS.

That word lost it's severity thanks to the hacktivists

There were non-Disney moments of affection for droids: episode 4 when the deck hand tries to give Luke a new droid he shut him down saying “not on your life, that little droid and I have been through a lot! You okay R2?” And don’t forget the ceremonial cleaning of R2 by the handmaidens after all the other Astromechs were shot off in Episode 1.

They made the mistake of treating Star Wars as though everything is precious, they forgot the grit and the reasoning for anything. It’s become terrible fan fiction.

Disney leaning into the whole "droids are people too" thing is so... odd to me. It's not logical. Especially not going from what we already saw in the original trilogy and prequel trilogy.

If we want to be technical, in Star Wars droids are supposed to have a Virtual Intelligence, a very sosphisticated illusion of "having individualities". It would be like being called a slaver for having an Alexa 9000.1 Edit: Lore-wise, after the Droid/Clone Wars, if they were true-AI, they would have been super banned, or dumbed down to "boiled potato" levels.

None of the writing teams watch any previous material...... Even in the old Decipher Star Wars CCG, Droid characters were utility cards that could not be targeted in combat (no one would waste ammo on them), but were happily sacrificed as losses before more useful, biological characters. (There was the rare exception, like assassin droids, but this was the general rule for most of the droids in the game.)

Disney doesn't even understand their own properties.

Space Balls is a parody of Star Wars but somehow disney star wars feels more like a parody than Space Balls ever did

In Legends there were the HRDs, Human Replica Droids, most famously represented by Guri in the Shadows of the Empire novel. She was not only an assassin droid but could, and would, often serve as a "pleasure-bot" as well. Her features were very deceiving, I think that Dash Rendar even had a fling with her, not to mention Prince Xisor.

The droids represent the alphabet people, brave and beautiful, and it gets better with time.

She and the Deatchwatch used Droids for shooting practices.

Lucas era Lando: Owner of a cloud City, wears stylish capes and the confidence to face Darth Vader on equal terms. Disney era Lando: Weeb that Fuxks washing machines

Lucas Star Wars: Timeless heroes and villains in a tale of good vs evil in the stars. Disney Star Wars: Literally all the men are evil and everyone else is misunderstood, altruistic, forthright, and goddamn perfect. In summary: I wanna puke.

I mean, I always took it as read that a GFFA having a culture that treated droids as disposable and less-than-human was meant to show how that culture blinded even the main characters to how they were treating sentient beings. Luke and later Anakin are some of the very few people who even bothered to create relationships with droids. Meanwhile, R2D2 and C-3PO were clearly sentient, capable of making their own decisions, and capable of displaying bravery in the face of danger. They are not “a toaster” or “Alexa” or “Siri”, they are fully formed sentient beings, and you even described R2D2 and C-3PO as such, _so I know you know this,_ despite your attempt to dehumanize them. It wasn’t a *good* thing that even likable characters like Obi-Wan and Han treated droids poorly. But these characters were also a product of their environment. Considering that Lucas did *the exact same thing* with the clones in the prequels and The Clone Wars to make *the exact same point* kind of backs me up here. Of course, Lucasfilm can’t manage to not hamfist any idea that enters their brain, so instead of it being subtle background commentary it’s now activism. Doesn’t change Lucas’ original point. Remember, Germany was one of the *least* anti-Semitic nations in Europe in 1920. Just a few years of Nazi rhetoric was enough to push totally normal people from not giving a crap about Jews to Krystallnacht to the Holocaust. The road to committing unimaginable horrors is much shorter than we think.

Oh Disney, why must you perpetually get is SO wrong.. 💩

I just canceled my Disney Plus subscription and it feels great! It's not even about the money... I just can't continue to collude with and enable horrible behavior.

It just keeps happening

For me I think celebrities In TV shows are fine as long as the show can make them fit into the series like what they did with bill burr earlier and give them depth and understanding to who his character is But when they throw lizzo or jack black in for 1 episode just for fun cause they’re celebrities who everyone knows, it makes it feel like an SNL skit rather than an episode of the show

Ep 2: Attack of the Clones: Obi Wan: if Droids could think, none of us would be here.

At this point Disney is one cigar shy of having the Star Wars droids fully transition into the Futurama universe.

Only "true fans" are still watching this show. Wait... that's not the right word. What was I thinking of... oh right. "Idiots."

Andor is still good. Plenty of bullshit reasons why we could have seen prison labor.

Why would the droids have a bar hangout? At best, they'd have a maintainence bay hangout.

The only droid Disney has done well was K2SO

Can't wait for the Mandalorian finale with special guest stars Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller😂

The OT and the Prequels showed us real human relationships. A master and his aprentice, a hero and his fateful destiny (of self-sacrifice, something Disney wouldn't possibly understand), a tragedic and irresponsible love and ultimately the fassade of egotism. Disney is trying to reinvent human relationships on an egotistic basis. It feels like there are walls between the characters that inhibit them from understanding each other. Not to mention their agendas for every single minority that has, does or will exist, in reality or in fiction. And the worst part is, of course: people buy it.
