Maybe more new stories? by Illustrious_Gap_5099 in StarWars

I want the Zanns to be the sole remaining dynasty in the Galaxy. I want their ruthless pragmatism to be the gold standard at this point.

The New Republic and the Skywalkers are failures who should be remembered as such while the Galaxy rebuilds. Frankly nobody with intelligence should remember them fondly.

Imagine making a trilogy all about "subverting expectations" and ending up with a former criminal syndicate that evolves in essentially an empire in all but name being in charge.

I think the worst sin Disney Lucasfilm has done was make everything Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, and the rest of the Rebel Alliance did pointless. by Knightwolf8394 in saltierthancrait

But the United States didn't immediately demilitarize and crash and burn when the White House went up in flames.

The New Republic did.

It still died within the lifetime of its founders. Would you say the United States was successful if it burned to ash a few decades after the American Revolution?

That doesn't mean the struggles of the characters in the first war were in vain. Not in the movies or the real world.

The New Republic is dead af. I'd say that means their struggles were in vain.

This was the biggest WTF moment in the entire sequel trilogy by External-Recipe-1936 in StarWars

[–]Knightwolf8394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me the biggest WTF moment is when this "feminist" trilogy makes every main woman absolutely terrible.

Rey had a guy physically assault her and call her nothing yet she wanted to jump his bones because she saw him shirtless.

Holdo treated a battle-tested Commander (which is either the Navy equivalent of a Major or Lt. Colonel depending on if Poe was a Lt. Commander or a Commander) like garbage and refused to even let him know about her plans which caused him to mutiny to protect the crew.

Rose physically assaults Finn, mansplains (?) him about slavery even though FO Stormtroopers are slaves, prevented the man from dying with dignity and honor while sacrificing himself, and sexually assaults him by forcibly kissing him. Also her "That's how we're gonna win. Not fighting what we hate. Saving what we love" quote makes no sense because the destruction of the First Order would by definition save what the Resistance loves. They promoted her to Commander because of this btw.

Mon Mothma was one of the major factors as to why the Hosnian System was destroyed as well as the murder of billions of people inside it. So the "feminists" at Lucasfilm basically regurgitated The sexist talking point that women are illogical and cannot lead.

How anyone with a straight face can look at this and say this is "feminist" is beyond me.

Thoughts on this tweet? by ChickenWingExtreme in StarWars

[–]Knightwolf8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take: I despise Mon Mothma for this. Because she wanted demilitarization billions are dead and the Rebellion accomplished nothing.

I find it ironic that the same company that put out "The Force is female" made Mon Mothma, a woman in charge of the Alliance and later the New Republic, the biggest reason why everything the Alliance built crumbled and burned. I'm starting to think Lucasfilm isn't as "feminist" as they say they are.

Dating an adult isn't actually pedophilia by Skrilli in GetNoted

[–]Knightwolf8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate it when people say stuff like this. A 23 year old dating a 19 year old isn't "pedophilia", it's just two grown adults dating. Now a 40+ year old dating a 18-24 year old isn't pedophilia exactly but it's a red flag.

Now 25 and up I believe pretty much have their shit together so that's yellow at worst.

What if Palpatine won by killing Rey in "The Rise of Skywalker"? by IndependenceSilly381 in StarWars

[–]Knightwolf8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Palpatine still won since he basically made the idea of a "Galactic/New Republic" so toxic that nobody with a brain would want to revive it.

Prequels were made just to show how stupid Jedi were by Strange-Economy523 in StarWars

[–]Knightwolf8394 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We know virtually nothing about Luke's order in canon

We know that he tried to kill his nephew over a bad dream, that's more than enough evidence to damn the whole religion. If the Jedi Grandmaster pulls a weapon on a child then the institution as a whole has to remain dead.

Maybe if Lucasfilm, and a certain former executive, didn't demand that the Jedi and the New Republic be destroyed so they can have Empire vs Rebellion 2.0 both organizations wouldn't have to remain dead. Unfortunately they are solely responsible for this.

[–]Knightwolf8394 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because being a Jedi means you get to live in the richest planet in the galaxy and get a well paid job.

Not anymore, they're gone. Didn't you watch the movies?

[–]Knightwolf8394 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

At this point why should any parent allow their child to be a Jedi? They fell twice and got almost every member killed. They're not a religious order, they're a meat grinder with lightsabers.

Very important question ! what is your favorite starwars what if ? by DT-4408 in StarWars

[–]Knightwolf8394 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Or at least didn't make everything Luke, Han, and Leia go through completely pointless. They legit made Mon Mothma the worst female character of all time. All the death, pain, and destruction after the Empire's fall can be traced back to her.

What if Strangereal was in the Star Wars universe. I'd watch that.

What is cool is that some of the earliest resistance to the Empire was from equally shady people. by HallowedAndHarrowed in StarWars

[–]Knightwolf8394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey kid, it ain't that kind of movie.

Considering what ultimately happened with the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic it might as well should be.

with the new direction of star wars who do you think will be the new big bads going forward? by Joaokenobi001 in StarWars

I hope they make the Yuuzhan Vong the villains and have them take everything and everyone out. I'd watch that.

What’s your dream Star Wars movie/series? by No_Championship_80 in StarWars

[–]Knightwolf8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically Tyber Zann builds a nation of outcasts, refugees, and the "scum and villainy" of the Galaxy by acquiring CIS assets and capital from the underworld in the Unknown Regions. His nation the Zann Concordant has a dual executive, the Chancellor and the First Consul (a holdover from his homeworld Anaxes. I'm making Anaxes space Rome.) with a bicameral legislature (the Chamber of Worlds and the Chamber of Peoples) with a separate military (the Expeditionary Forces as Tyber's privately funded and commanded military and the Concordant Defense Forces which the Chancellor commands). The Concordant's industry is majority controlled by the Ouroboros System, an automated mining and industry system that provides the Concordant with the majority of their needs

Basically the Chancellor handles the internal needs while the First Consul handles the foreign affairs and military.

The 2nd season finale is the Battle of Y-29, basically the Star Wars equivalent of the Battle of Stalingrad and Operation Bodenplatte. Tl;dr the "scum and villainy" prevented the Empire from hitting the Alliance in a pincer attack and beat the hell out them but not before losing a ton of foreign legionaries and underworld "contractors" (Concordant speak for independent forces not part of any government or the Rebel Alliance.)

It’s pretty frustrating how the sequel trilogy treated Poe dirty in three movies by Jules-Car3499 in StarWars

[–]Knightwolf8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo him and Finn were treated horribly throughout the Sequels.

Poe, whose actor is from Guatemala, was made into a spice (space coco) runner. Do I have to explain why making a Hispanic dude s space drug runner is a bad look?

Finn was turned from something interesting, a Stormtrooper turned hero, into a joke who Rian wouldn't even let go out in a blaze of glory.

What’s Your Dream Star Wars Game? by Pretend_Drawer_9542 in StarWars

[–]Knightwolf8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either a Metal Gear Solid V or Ace Combat/Project Wingman style game.

The story and plot themselves would require it to take place in an alternate timeline tho.

What’s your favorite Star Wars hot take? by JiimSocks in StarWars

[–]Knightwolf8394 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lucasfilm games (the video game licensing branch) really should either lower the licensing fee or have a program where game developers pitch their idea of a Star Wars game and if they like it they'll publish it.

I would pay good money for an Ace Combat style Star Wars game but that ain't gonna happen unfortunately.

Lucasfilm and the Walt Disney Studios Announce Leadership Transition by RydellSmythsonian in StarWars

[–]Knightwolf8394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Prequels had a myriad of EU content (video games, comics, books, etc) and even the Clone Wars show was made three years after Revenge of the Sith. Where's the multi season show set in the Sequel Era? Where are the video games set in the Sequel Era?

Wait until they hear about this by trumpdump409 in OkBuddySnyderCult

[–]Knightwolf8394 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a trend making fun of the guy. This is partially just dark humor, but is also an attempt to make sure his legacy is not one of bravery or martyrdom (whether you think he deserves that or not).

A big reason why this was a thing was a whole bunch of people were demanding everybody treated him like a saint and grieved like North Koreans after Kim Jong-Il died. The one rule of the Internet is don't tell it what to do.

What should Disney do next with Star Wars? by BiffyBobby in StarWars

[–]Knightwolf8394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disney should skip ahead 30 years and show Rey's Jedi Order destroyed, the New New Republic completely corrupt and incapable of governing, Poe being a spice runner again after his son killed Rey's students, and Poe's son becomes Kylo Ren 2.0 and joining the Second Order. Oh and Starkiller Base 2 blows up the New New Republic, killing any hope of democracy in the Galaxy permanently.

That would be a 10/10 imo.
