@@lordtea7688 There really is so much for them to dig out of that era, where it would be wiser for them steer clear of established characters and venture to make their own Sith and Jedi heroes. It's a big galaxy and the KOTOR era can still be salvaged.
I wish someone with skill would eventually bring them into the mainstream. With the writers they have right now, I'm honestly glad they haven't touched it.
"What are you LordTea? A sith or a jedi? Does it matter? Of course it does, such titles allows you to break the galaxy into light and dark, categorize it". But yeah, Darth Tee is my sith name, i just don't use it often, people tend to be sithophobic novadays you know?
Very well made video and solid arguments. Only thing I have to disagree is Rogue Squadron - if you played in VR it has a very lasting impact - my inner child cried tears of joy when I sat inside of a TIE Fighter for the first time. And playing the Empire side was not a bait and switch like in Battlefront 2 - they even got a fulfilling Ending that felt like closure. But I guess I‘m very biased - there‘s people like me that are craving for a good Space Sim the likes of Wing Commander or X-Wing and when a space sim comes around, even if it‘s just ok, we have been deprived for years and so we rejoice 😅
You know, my argument is not that it was bad. Rogue squadron was just kinda forgotten. Barely anyone talk about it anymore. The story there was also quite... underwhelming. The first disney movie was released when? 2015? 8 years later and we barely have any new games in the star wars universe. Ed. But thank you for your kind words :)
@@lordtea7688 Agreed, sadly the publisher was not as hype about the project as the developer - the game isn’t even available on the Quest Headsets - it would sell like hotcakes, but like you said, somehow it‘s been forgotten and abandoned. And the next game will be from Ubisoft?! I‘m not very confident about that. Now if a studio as passionate as Larian would get their hands on a Star Wars License… 😍 - but I guess that‘s just wishful thinking
Zack snyder talked with the Disney about the sequels before the episode vii. He suggested them to make starwars sequels R rated. They denied and made their own version. I wonder what would the sequels looked, if they were directed by zack snyder...
The world-building of Rey's story isn't particularly interesting. But that tracks with her story not being particularly interesting. It's just a product of the Zeitgeist, in the same way that A New Hope, was a product of it's time in 1977. Ask yourself, how much world-building do you really need, once you understand that Rey created all of it, even brought the Emperor back from the dead, just so she could be the big damn hero. She even created her own "enslavement" on Jakku, just so she could be a poor, little victim, an idea that goes immediately out the window, when she proves, she can beat the crap out of any number and kinds of attackers, and never HAD TO be a slave in the first place. Everything that ever happened to her was entirely her choice! All of her pain and confusion, she inflicted upon herself, just to feel important. That's the Dark Side of heroic legends. There might have been a First Order without Rey, but it wouldn't be shaped by her. The reason why this is Star Wars, is because the OT, and even the PT, was all about fake heroes (Darth JarJar) and "a certain point of view". In the same way that Rey is the ultimate villain, and she gets everything she wants and wins everything. I think it's okay to hate her for that. You might argue that Luke Skywalker got everything he wanted, too. But did he though? We only know he went to the Death Star and had some altercation with the Emperor and his pet cyborg. And he was the only one to come out alive, so he could basically claim whatever, even something so outlandish and preposterous as "Darth Vader betrayed the Emperor, just because he loves the son, that he never knew or even knew existed!"... But why believe such a bold-faced euphemism? And in TLJ, he certainly doesn't seem too happy about how it all turned out for him (he won't admit that he's dead, that's why he immediately hits the green milk, when the dark side demoness shows up on Ach-To, he's hoping he can make the apparition vanish with the blue milk, Owen and Beru used to feed him to prevent him from discovering his inherited Force powers. Obviously, green milk doesn't work that way, and she was actually there, so "cutting himself off from the Force" would actually have done nothing anyway. But it was a nice placebo, while it lasted, in terms of convincing himself, that he wasn't dead. I believe Darth Bane, I think it was, had the same problem in The Clone Wars, he just didn't want to admit it, that he had been killed. But he was also a Dark Side Ghost, indistinguishable from a living person, as opposed to the largely invisible Force Ghosts.) Light-saber fights are different now, yeah. First off, it was never about swinging a glow-stick like Finn does, it's not about swordsmanship - the only reason why lightsabers even exist, is because they become a superior weapon in the hands of a powerful space wizard. The Jedi invested a lot of time and effort in training their Guardians to fight the Sith... How is Rey going to learn these lost arts? And why would she even bother, when she can just waltz into a room full of Jedi-hunters and simply decide, that she can just defeat 5 of them, while Kylo struggles with 3, and she can just decide, that they'd actually rather do a bunch of silly pirouettes and randomly drop their weapons, as opposed to, you know, doing their one job.
*Sigh* Lord Tea, you might want to pin this for anyone that'll agree with Daisy: Mary Stu is not sexist. If you are in a RU-vid comment section this deep in the website, I question how you don't know that but will explain why regardless. It has a masculine version, named Gary Stu. I'm sure a gender-neutral version can easily be created, like Tracy Sue or some other name that doesn't have a specific gender to it, like Mary compared to Gary. The reason why it's surprising and concerning you don't know this is because you know how to comment on a RU-vid section, when means you know how to type things on a keyboard into a browser while connected to the internet. Why, then, would looking up a male version not be the first thing you do when learning what a Mary Sue is?
Modern hollywood movies are like watching political propaganda from the USSR. Theyre not focused on the writing or story. I havent watched a single movie after R1 (only watched that one because I gave them the benefit of the doubt after tfa disaster)
Some of your criticisms are strange, because while it’s true that the sequel trilogy i bad at world-building and all that, there is the same supplementary content we got for every other era of SW. So it seems a little disingenuous to hold up the books, shows, and video games from the Lucas era while ignoring them from the Disney era.
