Drinker's Chasers - Star Wars Is Failing Because Of YOU! 

😂😂😂😂

Me: Yes!

🤣😂🤣

That actually mad me laugh

Came here to post something like this myself.

Now that's a banger!

Leia is a scary badass no matter what she wears. It the character that matters not what on the outside.

That's a t shirt right there😅

@@maxpower3990 The costumes just enrich a character that is already complex. That's what these "modern" writers at Disney don't understand. Making the sith lord naked doesn't enrich his character because he has no character in the first place.

Everybody wants to be the victim.

Yeppers, this isn't a healthy relationship between the fan and star wars. With no sign of an 'intervention' its best we all go our separate ways with our wallets

True. They need to grow up and start behaving like logical adult human beings.

It's amusing when they turn on each other at least.

@@stevenjackson3906 It's so childish, it's like schoolyard shit.

I agree, but may I add I don't understand why they get so worked up over a woman being sexy in a movie in the first place, what's the big deal? Are you so offended that a woman showed off her body? I see hundreds of girls wearing half of Leia's bikini every time I go to the beach...but of course it's empowering when they do it, but god forbid Carrie Fischer does the exact same thing? And showing chiseled men who have bodies that the average man could never attain in their wildest dreams is perfectly fine? It doesn't bother me either way, but they're so hypocritical about it. What exactly is wrong with a woman in a bikini? It's the exact same thing as a shirtless dude, and some audiences just prefer one over the other, big deal... People like sexy things, almost like sex is a big part of our lives or something. This is just a hate group at this point, and they hate men. That's it...

​@@le_fancy_squidLook at how they're uglifying video game women. MJ, Aloy, Fable (good GOD), Joanna Dark, hell even GTA 6 is playing ball.

"These people are so shallow in basic human reasoning." What reasoning? They didn't reason themselves into their position, they adopted it wholesale from critical theory which tells them everything ever is always bad and they just have to figure out why. The "why" is obviously sexism because it's always an -ism and there are only a handful of those to choose from.

Sheltered children with machine gun technology.. what could go wrong??

@@le_fancy_squid I think its safe to say this is a religious movement and the Inquisition is on its way..

If they want this show to look more like downtown LA they should really include some "undocumented" aliens and homeless encampments.

Don't forget star trek the United Federation of Los Angeles

The fact that their article said that they expanded the universe smh. How is giving us characters who aren't actual expanding the universe? We needed to see new species, civilizations how they lived before the empire after the empire and tell us something unique not preach at us about their religion

Also, Jabba getting choked by someone he chained (with his OWN chain) was obviously sending a message to people like that. It's bizarre some people don't get that (or pretend they don't)?

“Luke, I am your mother.” Jabba the Hutt

Men find beautiful women beautiful. She was strong yet feminine. She was fixing something yet trembling when Han is first flirting with her showing vulnerability…just as Han shows his when he initially feels rejected and gets upset that she isn’t immediately his. Name any recent Disney female lead character that shows any interest in finding love or a man.

By that logic, Lucas was choking all of his fans since it was the fans who objectified her. Jabba was an animatronic puppet.

@@banhammer3904 It’s kind of a weird argument. Women are attractive to men. It actually gives women power but they have forgotten how to use it

I'm a 38yr old black man, same as you diehard fan who was born in Africa and grew up in the UK and like you, do you know what I have NEVER thought when I first watched SW as a kid and even now?? "I need to see someone who looks like me, otherwise I can't appreciate or relate to some else work". Those people need therapy and to get over themselves cause your diversity does NOT make you "special"; watch or create something else

These folks actually believe and would tell you that you were so oppressed you didnt know you were oppressed. Someone suggested to me just the other day that the reason Im heterosexual is because I was so oppressed by the patriarchy I couldnt see how enslaved I was and would have chosen differently if given the chance. When I pointed out that the birth rate wont be sustainable with half a population failing to reproduce heterosexually, there was no light on in their brain.. this is a religion at this point and its infected millions or hundreds of millions of zombies who vote.

No Mexicans in Star Wars because it was filmed in overseas in Europe.

There are no "good" fans for theese creators, only "correct" ones.

The “modern audience” is a myth, it’s entertainment for a fan base they want to somehow will into existence for incomprehensible reasons.

The modern audience is a single individual in some Garrett in San Francisco: a trans non-binary agender aromantic pansexual Muslim front puller wearing a see through his job in a wheelchair because of her physical disability and on a number of restraining orders because of her emotional ones. She is the modern audience. Too bad she hates Star wars, and everything else on this earth except her vegan dog with whom she has a love-hate relationship. It's also too bad she has absolutely no f****** money whatsoever. And yes, trans and non-binary is a ridiculous combination, but if I had a dollar for every time I heard someone claim it as their delusion or Identity or secret passphrase, I would probably be up to four figures.

Got us a logical one here!!🎉

​@@averyferalkitten310They are out there, all the 9 of them. The problem though is they won't pay to see Disney SW. They are broke as f*ck and can't afford it.

He also saves Luke Skywalker in the fan-favorite ESB.

Don't forget, he's also instrumental in blowing up the second Death Star? So, him being a hero is considered a "stereotype"?

he also owned "tendrando" arms, a compilation of his name and his wife, Tendra. They made the infamous "YVH Droids". He's one of the richest men of the chommel sector

​@@sigmacademyWait a minute... I thought Anikan blew up the deathstar!! 😂😂

Hmm... TFA dumped it's shot being a nothing burger then TLJ came along and retroactively made TFA pointless as a film. TLJ was simultaneously JJ trying to grab hold of a lifeline while looking for any possible marketing opportunities he could tie into Bad Robot.

How d'you do Italics?

@@wesleythomas7125 You do it the hard way - the _old_ way. You do it the way we used to italicize stuff before React came along and tempted social media engineers everywhere to create useless "reactive" textfields that are less functional and more buggy than the early-2000 clumps of barely-working JS that came with phpBB out of the box. Specifically, you put underscores around the word or the phrase to be italicized, punctuation signs included. And yes, on RU-vid you're supposed to do it by hand. Why is there a button for adding smileys but no button for italicizing stuff? I have no idea.

​@@oleg4966 _test_

​@@oleg4966Right on, thanks!

If I had the wherewithall, I'd have left the theatre after the Yo Momma joke in TLJ. What a disaster of a film.

​@@Deridus So the first 10 minutes😂😂

Left on my own after the first one they did. Worst cinema experience of my life.

@@hypolyxa7207I fell asleep three times in the theater during E7. That’s when I knew it was no longer SW, just in name only. I still have hope, though. Iger is on his way out. Kennedy is getting weaker with each new dumpster fire. I wonder what would happen if the fanbase collectively agreed to remove all Mouse Wars from canon?

TLJ was designed to antagonize fans. The story came second, or not at all. How else do you explain the "You're nobody you have no place in this story" and "Tastes like salt" scenes? These have nothing to do with the in-universe narrative. They are there as ready made memes for consumer addicts to spam online. It felt like going to a restaurant where the waiter is rolling their eyes and you can see the cook spitting in all the food.

Precisely. They supposedly all 'knew' how 'bad' the audience was, and hate the audience, but they still bought the property anyway and want their money, right? Or are we wrong and Disney just wants this as a vanity project? I'm sure they'd love for the next Star Wars film to have NOBODY watch them, right? Because companies just buy what was the second most profitable IP in history to do that, right? Oh but yea, you're right, we're expected to pay them for garbage.

Y'know, it's funny that you mention it, but, seriously, I'm starting to see that type of 'anti-consumer' attitude more & more these days, & not just in Star Wars... it's like retailers honestly think they're doing the _paying customer_ some kind of favour by giving them the 'privilege' of spending their hard-earned money on whatever garbage they try to force our way - it truly is a mystery for the ages!

This

'Look dear, I think were in an abusive relationship with our entertainment companies! Time to take the RV home for the summer..'

It's a obvious marketing stunt in my pov, the whole "culture wars" on social media bubbles, that generates free marketing for your product. Look how many youtube "channels" are making videos about Acolyte, trashing it, others are saying positive things, etc.. it generates artificial attention, it's trendy ever since +- 2016~17. And here we are, giving attention to this kind of crap, talking about it, etc.. I try to filter stuff through adblocking, but in the end, even if I don't pay for Disney+, neither generating microcents for the critical drinker and other "youtubers", inadvertently I am just another cog of the marketing machine, just like you and everybody else here. When the next trend arrives, most likely it will be artificial intelligence and how it will affect our lives (this is legit, this stuff can be really dangerous for society), we will all forget this trend, just like the emos were forgotten, the grunge, the hippies, etc.. that's how it goes. Meanwhile the eastern countries are detached, living their own reality. Gotta love humanity, it's so beautiful

Maybe if the "positive voices" had something of substance to talk about...

Sues the bike manufacturer.. sues the town and/or property owner for leaving sticks around, sues random white guy who happened to be wiyhin 100 yard for systemic racism and toxic masculinity, sues every capitalist for causing climate change.

Also Room 101.

And she had a see-through clothes.

In Disney's defense, Les has that juicy blackmail file she compiled while procuring--uh, I mean, working--for Weinstein. Now Kathleen Kennedy has the file and Les has the career she always wanted and never earned.

Yeah, as what @billybillee8160 says, criticise her for her actions regarding starwars, but leave her minecraft heritage out of it.

You're supposed to eat the slop quietly and thank them for it.

How dare you not respect the cow pie identifying as a cheeseburger! You bigot!😂😂

It always cracks me up that these people are shallow enough to only be able to identify with someone who looks like them. I think that's why they always make such bland characters, because the strongest point of their personality is literally their appearance. Sure, Darth Vader looks cool, but literally nobody looks like him because he's wearing a suit and his appearance is hidden. Yet did I run around thinking I was Darth Vader as a kid? Absolutely yes! And I loved it! My favorite characters were R2D2, Darth Vader, The Emperor, Darth Maul, and Yoda, and I do not have a single ounce of resemblance to any of them, neither in appearance nor personality...and that is because I'm not so shallow and narcissistic to have to see a reflection of myself in a movie. Make your characters whatever race/gender you want, but please, for the love of god, make them INTERESTING and COOL god damn it! To this day it's still fun to try and mimic Darth Vader's voice, or Yoda's, or the Emperor's, and get nowhere close but still have fun doing it; or to pretend I'm a Jedi using the force when I walk up to an automatic sliding door.

@@le_fancy_squid as if people actually feel represented by experiences, problems or feelings that other humans could feel in their lifetime. But no for Disney representation comes only for your skin colour and who you choose to fuck. They don't know what emphaty is, they don't know what racism is.

@@le_fancy_squidYou’re being nice when you say people are shallow to need a character to look like them. I’ll come right out and say it’s racist-they can’t see the “human” in any other race.

It’s not arrogance. They know. It’s dogged determination. The message is their life remember.

I believe Headland is doing this war of attrition as a salve on her soul to make up for the fact that she groomed women and covered up for Weinstein for years. And anyone that thinks the personal assistant didn't have responsibility, or any idea that women were being sexually assaulted, is riddled with cognitive dissonance.

Imagine being such a narcissist that you can't relate to the values, principles, ethics, and actions of a character unless he/she/zer/zit has the same immutable characteristics as you, then blaming fans when they point out the characters you've written don't have good values, principles, ethics, or actions, so they can't relate...

Why not just move on?

Remember the Impossible Whopper? It didn't do well and it was MORE expensive too!

@@benrtomahawk Also had the same amount of calories and fat, so they couldn't even pretend it was any healthier.

It worked with Black Panther and Barbie, you can't deny the "allure" for investors when you release two mediocre products and they are celebrated anyway, generating billions of dollars. You can use the "culture wars" trend as a shield against criticism, if you dislike She-Hulk, Acolyte, Rings of Power, etc.. that means you are a racist, bigot, etc.. it just works, weak minded people will try to jump on the trend bandwagon because they want to be part of a group (we've all being there, I jumped on the emo bandwagon back in the mid 00s, teenagers are just stupid. Depressive people are desperate, etc). You not only generate free marketing among the social media bubbles who fights with their keyboard, you also attracts new audiences. But if you actually lose the previous audiences, I guess that could weaken the trend (who is on it's last legs in my pov). Have to wait and see, I bet many entertainment groups will desperately seek the next Barbie in the next 2 years or so, if that doesn't happen and the money is just draining away, the mainstream media will pull the breaks. Meanwhile artificial intelligence will most likely be the next "social" trend and... oh boy, this one is legitimately scary

Watch Andor!

Disney: "NO".

@@MetalBoozie Season 1 was phenomenal. I'm curious to see how they destroy the show in season 2 and make it unwatchable, given its one of their few successful productions at the moment.

EXACTLY💯💯. They can try but it won’t work.

It used to work. Over the past 10 years we saw a wave of emotional blackmail and gaslighting like this; it actually managed to brainwash a significant portion of society. It was a very effective strategy until everything started doing it. Now people are so inundated by emotional blackmail and gaslighting, because they're constantly bombarded with it from all angles. They've become so inundated by it that they've become desensitized to it, and now, slowly but surely, more and more people are realizing that they've been manipulated, and they're starting to reject that manipulation. So, long story short; it was an extremely effective strategy. Between 2014 and 2022. By 2022, the strategy became so exceedingly overused that it lost its effectiveness. I, for one, am kinda glad they took it too far. I remember back in 2019, wondering how far the world would go down this rabbit hole of madness. I was terrified of the cultural implications of allowing emotional blackmail and gaslighting to form our public consciousness. But then they pushed the envelope too far and it backfired, and I let out a huge sigh of relief

That's been the woke game for decades - using blame and shame to guilt people into doing what they want.

they still can count on soy based lifeforms furiously gaslighting themselves on reddit

Reminds me of all the people who loved _Ready Player One_ but the only stuff they ever gushed about were the references and cameos.

I thought Ready Player One was enjoyable. Not earth shattering but it had characters and a story and stakes. Anyway I haven't seen The Acolyte but I can name a character: OSHA. I'm still not sure why Occupational Health & Safety is in Star Wars though. Maybe they need to install railings inside the death star reactor. Someone could fall to their death...

they were probably on their phone or making diner in the other room during most of the runtime and saw some lightsabers in the corner of their eye. If they feel they got their money's worth, I'm happy for them.

​@@nicholasvinenTwo different Death Stars were blown up, one with a million contractors still on it after a Super Star Destroyer crashed into it. Of course OSHA would be on the scene after those types of mishaps.

@@Botzorz Maybe, either way I am glad they can find joy in it. For the most part I've learned not to talk to them about Star Wars, and they've mostly stopped talking to me about it. They're more okay about it when I mention things like how I wish the Ahsoka series had been about her and the remaining Ghost Crew during the OT and what they had been up to (maybe add a side plot with Hera debating if she even wants to bring her child into a world at war that would kill/hunt them down for having the force). I just find it insulting to say people like me (who critical of media because they think about what they read and watch) are the problem.

Considering 80s heroes were destroying dozens of enemies with relatively little effort, I think there is room for comparison there? ;P

Why would that scene even need to be explained to kids? I watched that movie as a kid and it was crystal clear what was happening, and why.

@@kaasmeester5903 It was some kind of Karen who only saw a woman in a revealing costume, context didn't matter.

My GP practice actually works this way.

You gotta love the cognitive dissonance of these types. They go after that scene for being demeaning but the very same people will defend corn work as an honorable profession that isn't demeaning at all.

The thing the people writing now miss about that sequence, is that Leia literally strangles to death the male that put her in that outfit, with his own slave chain no less. You don't get any more badass than that.

There was Usenet, but they probably haven't heard of it.

Really good point. This was also back in the day when "stuff that random internet person said" wasn't considered headline worthy.

I mean...there were loads of chatrooms and message boards on the internet in 1999, and there were plenty of people expressing distaste or even outright hatred for Jar-Jar and little Anakin. But most of them were also expressing distaste and hatred for the introduction of midichlorians, the completely nonsensical "mystery" of who Darth Sidious was, the appalling way Darth Maul was overhyped in the lead up to the film and his complete lack of impact on the story, the atrocious dialogue, the bizarre decision to try to drive the plot of a Star Wars film using trade disputes and political maneuvering, why the hell a 14 year old was _ELECTED_ queen of a planet, why that same 14 year old was getting thirsty over a 9 year old boy, etc, etc.
