It was the milking scene from The Last Jedi that turned you off the franchise. Wasn't it?

Nah, that was Mark Hamill's sexiest moment. I came.

ಠ_ಠ

I have several problems.

Don't hate the entire series for the mess Disney brought to The Last Jedi. Just hate Disney.
At least Rogue One was on par with the original trilogy.

Ummmm...I like the new movies, I just hate the fandom.

Preach it sister I'm in exactly the same boat, this fandom is insufferable.

The Last Jedi was the last insult for me. I walked away from Admiral Gender-Studies, and the nonsensical tactics and plotting of the rest of the film, but hqat they did to Luke was intolerable.... so I left.

Ah, yes... them. Fans can get pretty rabid, can't they? It's basically the same as a religious devotion, but calling it something else. Gets just as toxic, too...

I honestly haven't heard much about whatever shenanigans the fandom is up to recently, nor do I have any desire to get involved in it. Best to ignore it. The opinions of fans/haters are utterly irrelevant to my personal enjoyment, and criticism, of the recent films in the series... and so should be the same with you. To each their own, and always feel free to formulate your own opinions on any subject. If fans/haters are detrimental to your experiences, tune them out as much as possible.

While I think Solo and The Last Jedi were fairly weak and fell somewhere around The Phantom Menace in terms of putting visuals much too far above storytelling quality (TLJ far more egregiously so than Solo), some data scatter doesn't spoil the general conclusion that Star Wars is, overall, an entertaining tale.

Heeey, I have the same thing with Fallout (and I was one of the mouthbreathing haters for a good chunk of my life).

Pretty sure if you've been following along, Wielder has a problem with the sort of people who constantly bitch about The Last Jedi-- not the movies themselves.

It's the fans that are the problem, and I can't say I blame her. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Eh, it felt like they tacked Jyn Erso onto a story about an amoral spy (who should have been a Bothan). Also it made Leia look ultra stupid retroactively.

Also they didn't actually infiltrate anything as was implied, they just broke in and stole the plans like it was a physical thing instead of, ya know, guarded information that's only given to specific individuals.

But, you know, it was fine I guess. It only retroactively screwed the series a little bit, and that's fine.

As Brad Jones said, that milk scene was animalistic, disgusting and beautiful all at the same time. And by all the damned souls in hell it was!

LOL i love this meme

MEEEE TOOOOOOO.

I still think this is funny as hell.

We all have things others think we should love - but we don't/won't.

The 'smart' one though know when to drop it - the dumb ones never figure out what hit them ...

LOL at the second scene:
"ARRRRGGGGHHHHJHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!1!!!"

Ummm, I like the new movies for the most part, it's the fans that ruin it for me.

I just don't get the point in being angry. This isn't something like Firefly where everything was going GREAT and then forever ago it seems the thing you loved just stopped. There have been novels, comics, toys, video games, other movies, cartoon shows, etc. Like, just pick what you like, let the universe spiral outwards as it will in your own head, and have fun with it. But the star wars fandom in general CANNOT do this for whatever reason. It seems like everyone feels that their own head canon is what should be gospel and that everyone who has had something published in the actual canon of the story is wrong. And it makes it toxic.

The dark side is strong in the fandom... Yes! Yes!

Well, to paraphrase the shit out of Plague of Gripes:

A normal movie writer can't really ever make a better movie than some fanboy who's been spending years writing his own stories, crying his eternal bitch boy tears over his perfect Star Wars movie.

I'm happy for you that you do.
Me, that's another story.

Then I guess I'm glad that you're sad?...

I wish I wasn't, I really do.
But then again, I'm still enjoying the old stuff I have. I have no need for the new.
At least that's what I'm trying to tell myself.

FUCKIN ANAKIN!!! This will never fail to crack me up LMFAO

Anyone bothering you about your dead fandom needs to get thrown into a pit.. seriously. Accept folks.. just accept. We are getting delicious skyrim instead (coming from a big star wars fan so get over yourself folks)

a sarlacc pit?

That or a good old Lava pit x3

Oooooh X)

Wielder, I burst out laughing at my desk. I hope you’re happy.
Grade A quality laughter-inducing. Would read again to cure teh sadz.

what is normal?

Jar Jar Binks in The Phantom Menace ruined it for me. Never watched another episode. Not interested in trying again.

For me, I think it was because of the Hype for these movies that I'm slowly losing faith in these movies. If I want to see a good franchise or movies from George Lucas, I watch either American Graffiti or Indiana Jones.

I'm glad Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was the last IJ flick. Just too much weird/st00pid junk in that one. If it had come earlier in the series, I would have said, "Yeah, nice, Kthxg'bye," and stopped there. And that was before Disneyfication.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull isn't the last one, they're planning a fifth. Screenplay/script is being written as I type this.

Shoot me. Now.

Indiana Jones and the Dieselpunk Mechsuit: watch as great grandpa Indy parambulates around in a lost Nazi wunderwaffe to kill Neo Nazis for his boy, Shia LeBeef.

Your love for things is a weakness. Purge yourself of these emotions, that is the Jedi way.

I'll give you my things when you pry them from my cold, dead hands!

*lightsaber hands off* Ha haa ! Now I'll have your- no wait, those were my hands. Shit!

I'll be back with robohands! I'll get you yet Captain Professor! It's not over!

And thats why my main sona is no longer star wars lol i still like star wars but the fan base has mostly ruined it for me so i feel your pain

I can take a lot from a reboot, but Super Lea flying through the vacuum of space back one of the ships? Um, Nope. I'll still likely see the next one. I don't follow any of the fandom sites so other than the odd journal here, so I avoid the toxicity of the Fandom Menace.

Is it funny that the flying Leia scene was the only one I liked?

No, not funny, diversity and it is what makes discussing things like that more interesting.

I think that if she had been out in the void, but surrounded by a blue glow, it would have worked better. Everyone would be thinking she was going Force ghost and then her eyes open and she Force shifts? flies? herself back to the ship.

That would have felt, to me at least, more in line with the mythos of the world. Vader said the power to destroy a planet was small compared to the Force and a move like that would show it.

The force is pretty established as actors gesturing dramatically while the grips yank on things. But maybe some kind of semi-visible blue arm tether or force field would have made sense.

...No, wait, that sounds even sillier.

and this is turning dangerously close to one of those Me right. you wrong type of discussions that the wolf is so irritated about.

I'll stop here and offer apologies to Wielder.

...Jyn Erso is irrelevant in her own story! *crab walks out the room*

Lets see...Lucas initially tormented us with Ewoks, thinking they'd make great plush toys that everybody wanted....Fail!

Then came JarJar Binks in Phantom Menace, the Steppenfetchet of Sci Fi. The rest of the Gungans were fine...Jarjar needed to be cut down with a light saber.

Now in the Last Jedi, we have those Pengu's being cute. Personally I would have seen Chewie look at the Pengu's making all sadface...and TEAR INTO the one he was cooking with great relish. (*Yeah Yeah, I know they had to somehow hide the Puffins on that island*)

But I also couldn't help but notice the franchise has gone more...Politically correct.


Oh and a spoiler for you Weedur....THE KID IS VADER!!

Thanks for the laugh, I REALLY needed one

This gave me far more laughter than I could have expected.

Because it's more fun to make up what your reasons are, and then argue with them.

Uh, why is a science fiction franchise worth arguing over? I think that might be my whole fucking point?

And that was my point. It's not. My post was a joke...

Oh, well then yes, we are in agreement.

Gah! Don't call it science fiction! The Starship Troopers fans will drop pod in and start nuking shit!

Shit.. I don't care what you draw. I like the art.

Also, the insanity..

"I had a phase WE MOVING ON"

IM CRYING 😂😂😂

LOL I LOVE YOU, BOO.

I LOVE YOU TOO

I think we can officially retire this meme, because no iteration of it will EVER have me laughing as hard as your version of Anakin screaming like a little bitch.

I am also 100% with you on the fandom. They're ruined Star Wars for me too.

So, where you wanna play now?

(I know you want to torture/annoy Magnus... <__<)

You mean Shiny Star Wars?

Haha omg perfection
Also yah, I understand ya

Trying to make an opinion in 2019 meme

But yeah, my username is "Jedi" and I'm pretty much done with Star Wars. Except Rouge One, cause the throw backs in that were amazing!

So if you wanna move on from Star Wars, you're more than entitled too. Why should you let people dictate your preference, right? Live your life the way you want, and people should run with your flow.

Rouge One: The Dirty Dozen in space. Everyone dies!

So long as Lee Marvin or Telly Savalas lives to recruit the next bunch of delinquent Padawans.

*laughs*

Make a meme about how you ain't talkin bout the fandom no more, THEN THE FUCKIN' FANDOM SHOWS UP!

The funny part is that I'm not even in the fandom, I shit on it because I'm a sci-fi nerd.

I would go hard gay for Captain Canady.

Some people like it. Some people don't. S'wrong with that?

That Second Panel... Cue, the red glowing eyes, and the soundtrack to the movie Event Horizon.

ive been done with with offical star wars projects for the longest time. im just happy seein with wiedurr being active again

Oh no. You've not become a victim to fan toxicity have you?

Being fair that is how most people react when I say I don't care about modern Star Wars. Once Disney took away the EU I was done,

The only thing that has made me excited about Star Wars again is the Star Wars Black Series of action figures. Mostly because they are doing original Trilogy characters.

You know what was a good idea they had? Humanizing the Stormtroopers and giving a main character a reason to feel uneasy with killing them- oh no wait Finn literally murdered a fuck load of his coworkers and laughed about it.

I guess we can only acknowledge moral gray areas when it's named characters getting involved.

If the Star Wars Fandom where a country, it would be Yugoslavia.

Granted I'm part of the faction that refuses to recognize the existence of anything film-wise that came during and after Lucas's obsession with 'fixing' things.

As a hard Star Wars fan since the moment I could walk (grew up in the 90s when my father had every version of the original trilogy on VHS), I can understand how quickly the fans get defensive and go into Rancor mode if someone disagrees.

I like the new movies (still haven't seen Solo yet, I have been busy), but I thought Rogue One was a bit (understatement) confusing but the space battles were amazing to watch. The Last Jedi...ok, I sound like a fangirl when I say this, but so far my favorite of the three. Why? Because Mark fucking Hamill was back in the robes and looking as awesome as ever! Also, please note thanks to the original trilogy, Mark Hamill was my first ever celeb crush, so I am biased.

As much as I was upset with the Amiral being a secretive hardass (as a former sailor who has HAD superiors like this, I can personally feel Poe's frustration in the movie), and the casino scenes were shiny to look at, but not needed, more or less.

Plus, Porgs. No joke, I love Porgs.

But, all in all, as a movie full of action, humor, and a sense of 'danger', I thought the Last Jedi was a good movie. Do I see its flaws? Oh fuck yeah, I'm not afraid to point them out.

But, I cannot walk away saying I'm not bitter towards Disney, because, truth be told...I still kinda am. Why? The EU was destroyed. Years upon years of books, completely null and void. I am still terribly salty about that, but it has gone down over the years and I can say, "The new movies are fine enough."
