The Mandalorian finale. reactions. spoilers

First off, thank you. Your longwinded response proves my point exactly.

No, thank you for continuing to reaffirm my point that the masses are willing to play selective memory games the moment Disney dangles a single crumb of something that resembles actual Star Wars. Forget all the bad and compartmentalize only the perceived good in order to feel good.

Who said Star Wars was saved? Not me. Must be confusing me with someone else. I’m just a guy that enjoys good Star Wars. And the Mandalorian so far has been really good.

My friend, you basically say it in every response you give on this subject matter in your pattern of speech and context. You are a major cheerleader for all this stuff, while constantly denigrating those that refuse to buy into it, though in quite the passive aggressive manor to make yourself seem reasonable.  Mando has not been good, it’s been average that looks good because of all the crap surrounding it. Good is subjective, because normies will swallow almost anything and quickly move on to the next thing. I continue to use the metaphor that any glass of water will taste like ambrosia when you have just walked out of the desert.

Mando is that glass of water. Tastes good going down because one was desperate.

Sequel Trilogy made people desperate.

You go right on ahead and keep enjoying what you call good Star Wars along with everyone else who is, but it’s time to stop ridiculing and telling those of us who have not and will not buy in.

If you were an actual continuity nerd rather than a Legends one that no one has to follow anymore, you would remember that in TLJ, Luke’s robotic hand still has the blast mark on it. Therefore, he presumably never got it fixed, so it actually makes sense for the glove in Disney canon. Not sure why he wouldn’t have fixed it, but that’s canon. Maybe it reminded him of his father or something.

This is not an EU discussion, so don’t try and use that to paint me as a “hater” stuck in his “rigid EU ways.” I’m talking pure marketing logic here, and if you cannot see that, then I suggest you take your blinders off and realize what is going on there: Member berry maximum overdrive steroid pumping juice….imagery to trigger the perfect response, because that is the last true image of Luke Skywalker the world saw in 1983. This is the kind of stuff I learned in my Communications Masters program. This was done purely to drive a specific response with perfect image placement. It’s all marketing, man. All marketing.

 

I pity anyone who can see the real Luke on screen again and not feel anything. I wish you could have, it was such an amazing moment to so many. It really is sad what Disney did to so many fans.

Sigh.

Don’t pity me, because there is no need and nothing to pity. I don’t need you to wish anything for me, thank you. Perhaps our previous engagements may have given you a certain idea, and from that you may like to try and paint me as “dead inside” while you pretend to be reasonable, but I am far from it. I am not as incensed as my other friends here who share my side of the argument, because I made my peace with this garbage two years ago when I discovered the Fandom Menace.

Much like Jeff from World Class Bulshitters, I never bought into TFA from the start. I knew it was garbage, and yes, because they threw out my “precious EU” I was completely biased and full of rage at that time. Then I found the Fandom Menace and discovered I was not alone in my outrage and fury.

That’s when my healing began, and then in early 2019 I discovered I could sit down and watch the OT and PT without flying into a depressive rage that my greatest and most beloved fandom was ruined. I could even look at Mark Hamil and see a young man not corrupted by Hollywood and suffering terminal TDS. I saw real Star Wars (because yes I have both Original and Special Edition cuts) and remembered all my joy and what Star Wars meant to my life as a whole, because guess what…I’ve basically been there since the beginning give a few years between ANH and RotJ. I’m that first gen Star Wars fan that helped build what the masses walk around in today and blindly take for granted with so called “good Star Wars” in this Disney Era.

And now I will bring my EU Flag out.

You can take your pity and leave it dumpster, because I had years of watching a real Luke Skywalker do awesome things. I didn’t need to see some stunt dude CGI’d up as Luke to fill me with that kind of joy. I already have that joy in my heart, and two years ago I finally realized there is nothing Disney nor those who are Disney apologists can do to take that away from me.

What Disney did is sad, but it’s sad for those who are still angry to the point of rage and those in a camp that continue to take what they give them and say  “Thank you, sir, may I have another?”, because just saying the Sequel Trilogy is bad and Mando is good is not all right, because such an argument denies reality that it is still all being cooked in the same pot. I will continue to live in reality, not ignorance, even though there are many a time I would love that kind of bliss, especially after 2020.

My pity remains for the masses, and I guess that includes you, who needed that moment to find that joy, a joy which I’ve been warmed by for over two decades. I’m not gonna say I don’t tear up at emotional moments in movies, because I do. I’m a big softy for certain movie scenes, but to see grown men crying like this…like simpering wimpering betas…I’m going to have to ask for their man cards, because they need to be retested to remain in the club.

Girls…they can do whatever they want, cuz I’m not a girl, and I’m not dumb enough to wade into those waters.

As much as I hate to say it, Disney owns Star Wars. They decide what is canon. All we, the fans, have left is head canon. Sorry, man. None of us can change this, as much as we’d all like to.

Oh my god how I hate that argument, because it is the simplest, most cop out thing to say to anyone who doesn’t like this stuff.

I think we’ve finally reached a point where I would like a definitive answer from you. You have repeatedly thrown out the argument of how even the EU had bad stories, so EU people can’t criticize Disney for being bad.

For someone who likes to talk down to EU guys, just how much of the EU did you read? If you are going to continue to berate EU fans, then I’d like to know just how versed you are in it. What is your full experience? Did you just read the Thrawn Trilogy and call it a day? Did you just read Prequel Era stuff?

If we are talking main storyline timeline wise, I went through everything starting at Truce of Bakura to Fate of the Jedi: Apocalypse (I could not buy/read Crucible at the time because I was so angry). I did not read Prequel Era stories, no comics except for Dark Empire, and I didn’t do Rogue Squadron, either. I list this, so that it is on the record what my EU knowledge is based on, ie. EU street cred.

So once and for all, I am seriously asking for my benefit, so as we continue to interact down the line, just how much weight I need to give what you actually say in response to anything I do. Your fallback argument of how EU people need to move on, how what we still love in our hearts is just our “head cannon” and that we have to “accept things as they are” because “there is plenty of good Star Wars” has really run very thin at this point. Just like I may sound like a broken record, you are one too.

And yeah, my posts may be long, but I’m a writer, and I have deep thoughts and a lot of things to say. I am not a pithy person, so if you have an issue with that, that’s a you problem. I’m not going to change how I respond to what I disagree with coming out of your mouth or anyone else’s.

Typing for a few seconds is not caring.

Sure, you don’t care. Yet you have started hundreds of threads crying about different movies, perople or whatever being woke SJW shit. Talk about conservative snowflake behaviour. Quit whining on a forum and get medical help.

Here, let me help you:

That’s bold of you to assume he can read

As someone who is older and saw SW in the theatre back in 1977….I loved it. I felt like a kid again. I had tears. This was the Luke I knew, though I think they should have used Deepfakes technology (which does better, every single time) instead of bad CGI. I don’t understand why they can’t use Deepfakes, makes no sense to me. Despite that, it was just a great thing to experience after having so much garbage since Disney took over. It was kind of cool to see all these people experiencing this together, it’s something we all needed.

I watch SWTheory, and think he is a decent guy but sometimes he seems far too blinded by his fandom. His pal from DenofNerds is way worse. Can’t really stand him personally, that guy has said some just ridiculous things imo. DO NOT have DenofNerds on Friday Night Tights!

SWGirl, she is ok. She get’s on my nerves sometimes too. Her tirades are a bit ridiculous frankly. I’ve had to turn her off a few times when she starts flipping out and talking 100000 miles per hour nearly hyperventilating.

But, in the end, we are all SW fans and finally got something good in the cesspool of rotten bacta.

I’ll give it to Favreau and Filoni, that was good marketing 💴💵💶💷💰

But i can come up with a logical reason for why Luke would still be wearing his glove even after getting his hand fixed, simply so that there’s less chance that he’ll have to fix it again, assuming that the “skin” is made out of some sort of rubber/silicon, it probably isn’t that much more resilient than real skin, so rather than have to fix it every time it gets damaged in battle, he just made the glove part of his battle gear

Girls…they can do whatever they want, cuz I’m not a girl, and I’m not dumb enough to wade into those waters.

What waters??

Well, looks can be deceiving… 😅

SWGirl, she is ok. She get’s on my nerves sometimes too. Her tirades are a bit ridiculous frankly. I’ve had to turn her off a few times when she starts flipping out and talking 100000 miles per hour nearly hyperventilating.

Instead i love watching Anna’s tirades, she’s my favorite youtuber, maybe it’s ’cause i can relate to her, i flip out just as much 😹

I cried too, I am right there with Anna and SWTheory. Watching their videos back made me all weepy all over again.
