  • So I was forcing myself to watch The Mandalorian the other day when the realisation hit me - Star Wars as a franchise is dead. Its been dying for a long time, but now there's no hiding it. Nobody cares about it anymore. It died because Disney killed it.

      Star Wars is actually not a dead franchise....we can now flip the script upon the radical secularizing republican freemasonic Jedi seeking their universal republic without national distinctions.
      The Empire are the good guys, despite the musings of Star Wars' authors: husband and wife.

    Arguably the biggest issue with The Mandalorian is that it already ended. The finale of season 2 was perfect. We don’t need to know exactly what happened after Grogu went to train with Luke, it was a powerful enough ending to a story in its own right.

    • @goazer2
      @goazer2 Рік тому +23

      The other thing with the Mandalorian is that it's supposed to be more of a serial. It's heavily inspired by things like Jonah Hex, Renegade, Paladin and Usagi Yojimbo. It's supposed to be a slow burn that isn't pulling on your emotions all the time.
      That said it was clear Star Wars was dead with Kenobi. If you're going to have more bad going out than good and treat your legacy characters like that the franchise has no hope of recovery. Dave Filoni saved Star Wars twice but he's not a miracle worker.

      You can go on with the episodic adventures (Star Trek TOS, TNG, Stargate SG-1...) if your writing and production keeps things interesting.

Episode 1 of season 3 should have been filmed from the perspective of someone Mando was hunting, it should have been a horror film where their team slowly disappears like an Alien film.

But all of this could’ve been executed better (in particular the writing, directing, and acting) Nevertheless, they still do feel like Star Wars, they do have some strong points, and they succeed at setting up the originals.
      Also, one has to understand it’s difficult to try to match the quality of the original trilogy, which is one of the best trilogies ever, and A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back are some of the best movies, period. So the expectations were probably sky high when the prequels first came out.

      The fact is that mass audiences have low standards and are used to watching big budget special effects with little sense and non-existent storylines. That's why sequels do so well in the first place; audiences are to lazy for originality. Why are you watching Star Wars part 55 anyways? Go watch something new and original like Star Wars was in 1978! Audience is not part of the problem- the audience is the entire problem! Instead of whining about Star Wars part 10,000 the Critical Thinker should be pointing us in the direction of new, original storylines and movie making!

Higher pay only grants you more dollars not more things you can buy with each dollar since businesses just raise the price of things to compensate for the central bank printing more dollars out of thin air. This is so businesses avoid giving things away for free. This devaluation of currency/dollars is known as monetary inflation and is the whole reason bitcoin was invented to park your wealth into a system where your wealth doesn't get robbed from you by central banks who just create money out of thin air, since bitcoin only goes up in value because it is finite rather than down in value which happens with your dollars.as.central banks keeping printing infinite amounts of.)

    Y'know, I think I just realized something. Back in the day, people erroneously thought that genre films and series were for children. Then they became mainstream, and somewhat more mature and challenging, and for a while, reached a complexity and low-concept engagement that took a bit more investment in story and character development. At some point, it seems that studios realized that this meant their merchandise revenue was dwindling, but that, if they just pulled back their strategy to explicitly targeting everything at children, lowering complexity, making it merchandisable again, they could still suck out the grown-ups nostalgia while also making bank with the kids.
    And that's where we're at now. Genre fiction is now more "for children" than it ever was, and in the worst possible way. Make no mistake, Star Wars in 1977 was eminently watchable by children, but it had at least some emotional weight and complexity to it that Disney wouldn't allow in modern iterations.

      The problem is the wokening happened with star wars. The Wokening isn't just one thing but all the worst elements in entertainment industry broiled into a single toxic sludge. You get directors/writers with massive egos who think they can write something better and greater than the original but lack any talent in actually doing so. Often making changes that completely undermine the actual story and plot. Like how they're re-writing Peterpan to have the Lost theys because the lost boys wasn't inclusive enough. And for a reason, being said that girls were too smart to get lost like boys did.
      You get The Message crammed into your face every second of the piece of entertainment with the subtlety of two by four being rammed straight between the buttox. You get corporations digging up the corpses of your childhood to try and make them sing and dance once more in hopes to draw more money out of your pockets but all they succeed at flopping have decomposed rotting flesh bags across the stage and then screaming at you to pay them.

The Sequels felt like empty vassals by comparison, they didn't feel like Star Wars movies, the plot in them was terrible and they blatantly ruined the OT heroes to make way for identity/minority characters who were not interesting or particularly likeable.

    They shot my childhood movies out of a nuclear silo - pointed them at the moon and hit bupkis. All so they could make money on the backs of future working class people who no longer support this kind of thing. Did they ask anyone in the trenches of life to allow for a multi spectrum idea base? Did they try at all? I don't believe they even care if this stuff makes money. I think they are just fine to kill it off by 2025 so they can make some kind of new studio production type. The whole system is set to make an implosion the size of the egos running things. And that is what happens when you demand that every single idea be run like a capitalistic business venture and apply words such as vertical, and Franchise to every single idea seeping out of the spilled, wall toilet that is now the "entertainment industry" Namely Hollywood, and Disney.
    These two sick and salivating behemoths have co-opted, stolen, cajoled, and lied their way to this dark bed of icky. The bad part is all of the tripe hitting the internet. The worse are all of the soon to be unemployed people who genuinely love their trades, getting sent off without so much as a salad toss after the huge anal missile strikes they are getting.
    There goes an entire industry of knowledge, skill and talent.
    But who knows maybe it's for the best as some of these wonders without work will start their own thing out of spite and the ability to make good on the promise made to the global social contract.

    For me the moment that made me groan and realize the series was dead was in BOBF when they make it pretty clear that The Mandalorian's new ship is the Naboo Starfighter. The n-1 is cool, but why would he own it? The Razorcrest was his office, home, and ride all in one. It made sense for a character like him to own. Going from the Razorcrest to the N-1 is like a contractor going from a pickup truck to a coup.

    I never thought I would get to a point where I actually dread new star wars announcements, but unfortunately that's exactly where I am. Every time they announce something new I'm just terrified that they will find a way to kill off another facet of the series I love. Even extended media such as books and video games now have me more concerned than excited... which is saying something cause I have played and love even the most janky-est of licensed star wars games(give me Episode 3 the game over fallen order or any EA sh*t anyday). It seems the only way to be a modern star wars fan is to never have been a classic star wars fan.

He raises two children, grows old, loses his wife and a close friend, and has a grandchild. In less than forty minutes the creators have woven a tale where I care about what happens to people who have just been introduced while other TV shows can't seem to get me to care about their characters in an entire season.

      So true. The quality of writing has declined precipitously over the past 10 years to the point where haven’t watched network TV since 2019 (exception later). Probably 5 years ago I started rewatching TNG on Prime and that episode (The Inner Light) really stood out in my mind. It was a great call for you to remember it and compare it to anything Star Wars, big budget movies included, in the past 10 years. In fact after TNG I moved on to DS9 (which I watched only occasionally in its first run, it just didn’t “catch” me) and then Voyager (really hacked me off Prime’s ST contract expired while I was in the 4th season), which I finally just finished using the free Paramount+ we got for buying TMobile internet service. Ghosts and any Taylor Sheridan show not called The Mayor Of Kingstown are also quite engaging. Anyway, I’d say ANY post 1980 Star Trek show other than Enterprise is better than anything on TV since…2000?
      “Corollary”: It’s been much of this century that I’ve wondered how much of the movie fare gets green lighted. Many will start well but fall apart after the first hour or so. I’ve heard that it may be because a script submission is only so many pages long. Getting the green light may be somewhat of a surprise because turning from story to a conclusion is often a horrifyingly painful, disappointing and surprisingly poorly thought out proposition. Again, poor writing.

    As a kid of 7 my mom introduced me to movies like War of the Worlds, The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, The Time Machine and The Day the Earth Stood Still to name a few. Those old classics blew me away as a child of the early 60's.
    But by the early 70's I was sick of Hollywood. Many of the "Hits" of the day were rife with political statements and self aggrandizing navel gazing. I gave up on movies.
    So, in 1977 I was 6 months from getting out of the Marines and stationed in Yuma Arizona. It was a blistering hot Saturday afternoon and I found myself wandering around a town square with little to do since I didn't want to hit a bar that early in the afternoon. I spied a movie theater and thought Air conditioning and a cold Coke and I would kill two hours and THEN go into the bars. I didn't even notice the name of the movie on the marquee.
    I got my Coke and sat down in a dark theater just as the movie opened and from the opening crawl I was transported to a Galaxy far, far away and a long time ago.
    After the movie I sat in stunned silence and thought, "When did Sci-Fi ever look this good?" and the next thought, "When did Sci-Fi ever have a story this good?" I kept replaying the movie over in my mind and that's when I recognized I had just witnessed groundbreaking moviemaking.
    It, and the rest that followed, gave me back my love of movies, gave me back Star Trek, gave me the Summer Blockbuster. And the company that thrilled me and my sister as kids on a weekly basis on tv, that made the very best in cutting edge animated storytelling, took that legacy and destroyed it in the name of wokeism.
    In a day and age of technology when they should have made the very best of the Star Wars movies, they instead turned out piles of shit - and shit on every legacy character in one fashion or another.
    I am devastated. Two great legacies destroyed in a single unending blow of politics and I'm back to not caring about movies again. Full Circle.

      I was born in the 90's but always loved movies from the 70's and 80's. I find the 70's movies were particularly good compared to modern ones as many scenes are shot in a long take, thus making it more realistic the way the actors talk to each other and how the story progresses. Nowadays every time someone talks, the camera has to cut to a focus shot on that character for about 5 seconds that they talk and it's like that for the whole movie. Don't get me started on shaky cam with action scenes...
