One of the worst parts of this is that the idea of a group modifying themselves with droid parts is actually really interesting. Imagine if they had modifications from known combat droids, like the arm of a super battle droid or the shield generator from a droideka! But no, they’re just a bunch of borderline useless cyborgs with really stupid scooters.
Totally agree! Besides the fact that they are all totally incorrectly dressed for both location & economical status + that they ride speeders that absolutely do not fit in, none of the modifications make any sense at all. It's all about surface, once again, never substance. "Look how cool I look with my prosthetic arm!" "Can you do anything special with it? Does it give you extra strength? Can you climb walls or something?" "Dude, I never even use it on the show!" The really sad irony is that they even give us screen time to set these kids up as something to be feared, as if they have a long criminal track record on Tatooine & shit. All they did was steal water & apparently no one got physically hurt. How could they when their mods can't harm a fly even if they try & their speeders run slower than I can run? The idea for the mods & that they work for Boba is an excellent idea! I even appreciate that they are "misunderstood". But for that to happen one needs a bloody reason to misunderstand in the first place!
The biggest disappointment for me in the new Star Wars is how old characters completely neglect each other when they die and act like they’ve been friends with the new characters longer.
Everything Disney makes us the same, and it all sucks. Mando was acceptable, but still not good, other than like the first episode(mostly), and a few other scenes. Other than that, it was weird as fuck.
The weird thing I kept noticing in 'Book of Boba Fett' is that Fennec kept having to tell Boba things that he should know. The man's been a bounty hunter for most of his life and his father was a famous bounty hunter. He should know all about how the underworld and criminal organisations work.
You know why. The most important part of these shows is not to entertain, teach, inspire or even turn a profit; the main thing is to push the agenda. So, of course the male character must be brought down to bring the female character up. Its equity they would tell you.
It's because they clearly see their viewers as being so inept at the ability to follow a plotline or work things out for themselves with their own intelligence that they feel the unbridled need to _explain literally everything_ as if people need their hands held at all times. It's literally insulting the audience's intelligence.
@@_Jay_Maker_ which makes sense somtimes, but still, that could be conveyed by Boba telling his subordinates about his plan, but he never had a plan, or subordinates, that is the worst part of the show for me, he replaced the hutts with basically no one working under him, how the fuck did he expect to get paid for the protection he clearly couldn't provide
That killed me on the inside. He must have been so excited to play akbar, hoping that he’d get some bigger role since he was being brought back for the movie.
What really gets to me isn't the fact that he dies, but the way that they killed him. Used for a cheap cameo and tossed aside, like yesterday's newspaper. No last words, no heroic sacrifice, no final stand, no bittersweet sendoff. Just thrown away and forgotten about. It makes me mad. @@turtley4444
you know, episode 1 unironically did the biker gang concept better, podracing. you had these wild, monster jet engines piloted by adrenaline junkies in a pod hanging back by cables. tried to painted to look pretty, but they still have this weathered look from sand rushing past at like 900 miles per second. But that's because the prequels had a lot of thought in how things were designed, and who designed them.
I had a book about the Phantom Menace long ago that really deatiled the production and especially the creative direction process. It was actually amazing to see how the people behind those scenes designed the vehicles, often taking inspiration from nature or re-forming the original trilogy's designs. It was more than just "slap some extra mirrors on floating Vespa bikes and call it done". For droidekas for example, the artists took inspiration by looking at ancient tribal African artworks and illustrations. Now that's research. They didn't mind putting in time and effort at all.
Honestly. I didn't know about the zipper rule or anything like that about the costume design of star wars. But every time the mods have been shown to me I always got a distinctly "This doesn't look right" in terms of their look. It really goes to show that a well-thought set of guidelines for costumes can bring a story to life so much more.
Exactly. They don’t look like Star Wars, they look like something shoehorned in just to look modern & relatable to please the teenage audience who think real-world issues need to be represented in a work of hard science fiction.
Yeah I remember seeing the mods and be like '... uhh why are these folks here? If they don't have money for water how do they have water for all of that?'
@@briansvedin1788 The thing is that real life issues do get discussed in Star Wars. It's just that it was infinitely better in the original movies. The existence of aliens and how they are being treated in the universe brings up a lot of similarities to real life discrimination and racism, thus allowing the viewer to ask themselves questions about it. The Force is a metaphor for religion, and it delves into Lucas own views of existence and what could be behind it. The originals were made some time after the Vietnam war, so George made a whole scene where the same scenario is depicted of a technologically inferior species standing up against a big evil empire. In Disney Star Wars it's just "These are the bad guys, and we wanted to kind of make them look like space nazis. How do we get that message through? Just show them shooting civilians and blowing up entire planets while giving speeches complete with the Stormtroopers giving the salute." It's just so on the nose.
At this point I want Disney Star Wars to fail so badly that everyone involved gets fired and replaced with talented people. Unfortunately, we don't live in a logical world.
If it hasn't failed by now it never will. Shills will consume anything with the Star Wars brand no matter how terrible as indicated by BOBF and the Sequel Trilogy, and their tiny brains will deal with the dissonance by saying to themselves "it's Star Wars, it can't be bad I must be wrong".
@Nortius Maximus true. They'd have to do a laundry list to win me back including admitting the Sequels were garbage, give a public apology to Gina Carano, and do faithful animated adaptations of the Thrawn Trilogy. All stuff I know they won't do EDIT: And make a mug that has "Pablo Hidalgo Tears" written on it
“Star Wars is like a piñata. It’s a lifeless, tacky object that is turned out in a factory to entertain blind consumers. But it’s also fun to whack for laughs.” Well fucking said mate
Disney wants the love and appreciation from Star Wars Fans without putting in the love and appreciation into the product of Star Wars. How do you lose support for a franchise by the fans that kept it alive with 3 movies, then 3 more movies 20 years later? Star Wars was celebrated before the Internet was a major thing to the public. 🤷🏿♂
How do you fuck up a franchise that already disappointed people with the prequels and yet still had people heavily invested into it and even still enjoyed the worldbuilding of said disappointing movies?
@@thecrimsoncreep6665 I don't remember people who hated the prequels back then before the Internet came along. But despite that a lot of people still loved Star Wars until You know who came along
@@Animefan-uk8pw I hated that shameless toy advertisement from the moment I watched it, and on the strength of that experience, I refused to go to the cinema for the other two prequels. I remember reviews and movie discussion of the time centring around the terribly incongruous Jar Jar Binks. I had plenty of other issues with it, such as being taken out of story by the gratuitous pod racing scenes that were transparently computer game advertisements. The only positive thing I remember hearing was people musing that maybe little kids might find Jar Jar funny but I've yet to find one.
I have a feeling in the pit of my stomach that the Kenobi 'bait & switch' is just around the corner. Destroy his story and things will, in fact, have become 'worse'.
The only Star Wars I will recognize & acknowledge is the Star Wars of the Lucas Era up to the Disney Purchase. And I do not accept Disney Star Wars. To It, I will always say No.
thank you for mentioning Rey having no costume change. I've had this convo with my brother a lot. If you see a version of Luke, you can instantly tell which movie it is from because he changes costumes all the time. plus it sells more toys because you needed to have the "jedi" luke, the "hoth" luke, etc.
It's also some great visual storytelling in Luke and Anakin's costume changes throughout their three movies. Anakin as a boy is wearing white clothing, symbolizing his good nature and general innocence. But as he gets older, and his Jedi robes grow darker due his pain and ambition, until he becomes Darth Vader and is wearing all black signifying his fall to darkness. Luke starts the same way, at the beginning of his journey he wears white, then in Empire he still mostly wears white but it becomes dirty and tattered from his training and learning the truth of his father and dangers of the Dark Side. By Jedi, he's wearing all black as he journeys into darkness to save Anakin, but when you see the flap of his jacket open, it's white on the inside showing that even though Luke surrounded by darkness, it hasn't reach his "core" which is still pure. Meanwhile Rey's outfits, much like her character, barely changes, aside from some superficial details.
In many ways I’m glad Disney has huge failures with Star Wars. It highlights the true genius of George and all the visionary’s who brought this galaxy to life. We can stop pretending that just because more money gets dumped into something makes it a better product. I said this from the start with both Disney and Amazon buy the rights to LOTR.
@@Electronica27 Nope. He wasn’t surrounded by yes men. He also asked directors to direct the prequels but they all said that HE should do it. I’ll repeat that: He didn’t have faith in himself and so he asked others if they could direct the prequels but they said that HE should do it. He wasn’t surrounded by yes men dumbass.
@@Electronica27 You ever seen the Star Wars content by youtubers Rick Worley, Anomaly Inc and Style is substance? There's more to George's Star Wars than you, perhaps, know.
It's so dumb how all the Mods/their stupid scooters look so clean and shiny, and then they have the gall to tape random bits of junk to them like, "See? A star war!"
Bonus sad Akbar points: In the original EU timeline, Akbar was able to serve for another 10-ish years before passing away due to natural causes. He was just an older Mon Calamari that had lived a good long life. Disney canon timeline takes place well after 30 years since RotJ. They bring this character back for the sole purpose of blowing him out of the bridge. And then they humiliate the actor afterwards? Shameful.
@@jakwashere104 Yeah, you just have to remember he 's in the room with her when the place explodes. You don't even see him die, I did not realised it happened until a friend asked me "wait, he died?"
I could’ve totally seen the Mods being on Corascant’s lower districts, or on Nar Shadaa, but not on Tatooine. If these guys showed up in Mos Eisley with their colorful spotless scooters and exposed cyborgsnics, within 5 minutes, they’d be mugged by bar scum, killed by tuskins, and scrapped for parts by jawas, in that order.
This was exactly my complaint too, they wouldn't have been so jarring if they were on a planet like Corellia that had similar attire and matched the atmosphere; the Mods belong in the opening of the Solo movie, not here on Tattoine where sand would obviously get into their augmentations and the twin suns would make an example of them
What infuriated me more than the brightly coloured scooters is that the main girl of the group is living on a hot desert planet with two suns and she's so pale she'd blend into the snow on Hoth.
I have never and likely will never understood the "fanboy tears" thing. Why would anyone be happy that fans of a thing are unhappy? And the weird part is, it's not that they hate the thing the fans like, they just love the fact that the fans are unhappy. Why is it suddenly a bad thing to make something for the actual fans of that thing?
Because they define "fans" as "toxic manbabies that hate change." And ofc, throw in all the -phobe and -ist insults as well. They seem themselves as progress, and "fans" as the ones holding back progress. Thus, "fans" need to suffer as they are on hte "right side of history." What's that? This change doesn't fit into the universe, is poorly thought out, and doesn't even go anywhere? CRY MORE FOR ME, FANBOY! You only hate it because it's new and challenges your bigoted world view! It's all about the THEMES and MESSAGE your hateful little mind can't process! If this still doesn't make sense, good. It's all delusional bullshit where they create strawmen to attack as a means of propping up their own ego and keeping the groupthink alive. It's all about the greater culture war and Us vs Them mentality. If "they" like something, then "we" must mock them for it (and vice versa).
Misery loves company, and they think they're sticking it to "entitled men" by dragging their unwashed asses across something that a predominantly male audience enjoys. They did it with Star Wars, did it with comics, did it with D&D, did it with Ghostbusters. They're the kind of kid who would break your toy if it was nicer than theirs.
Because fans are a smaller minority compared to the audiences they want to captivate. So they make something so generic so they can “please” everybody. But in doing so they just make literally garbage that nobody will remember. But if they actually cared for the fans instead of a fast cash grab. They literally could make a historical Star Wars films that could stand the face of time but no. They think with their other head and choose instant gratification rather than make something artful and just overall good. It’s truly sad.
tbh - you might be surprised how cruel the average person can be if they know they can get away with it. Of course not everyone would act this way, but you might be surprised how many people secretly would thoroughly enjoy ruining someone's day because its about power and feeling important - two things they often lack in everyday interactions.
Because a lot more people in younger generations get a lot of dopamine from seeing other people suffer. They are suffering inside and it makes them feel less alone
The photo of the Disney writer who had a poster of Luke on her cubicle wall with a red X through his face. That's all of Disney. People were too eager to accept this Trojan Horse.
I was really excited that Boba was getting his own show I was like “finally my favourite Star Wars character is getting his own thing” and then it all went wrong
This reminds me for my love of the Naboo Starfighter. Pretty sure it was based on old 50's cars, but it still fit into the setting without being absurdly out there.
Yeah! Like obviously you look at "Padme" and see her make-up , you see her fancy ship and obviously the sophisticated looking crazy colour Starfighter fits perfectly!
It's been a while but I used to own a book of The Phantom Menace's concept/production art, and from the best of my memory I remember an interview or note from Doug Chiang that said the Naboo Starfighter is a cross between an old 50's hotrod and a fighter plane from WWII. Stuff like that is what makes me love the designs of Star Wars' aesthetics, ships can be sleek and stylish and others can look like a hunk of junk but they both look like they belong in the same universe. It's a shame the same couldn't be said about the original character designs.
The Naboo Starfighter is the perfect example of something that's inspired, and not copied. It has a lot of the elements you'd find in the classic cars that Lucas drew from: sleek curves, sharp edges,, some chrome, and smooth tapered points. Yet, it doesn't look like a car. The design philosophy of old cars is on display, but it still looks like an alien ship, and not like they just took the wheels off a '59 Cadillac DeVille and called it a day.
to me, the sleek design of the Naboo starfighter was an indication that we're not in the original trilogy anymore, we're back in a time when the galaxy was not in constant war or chaos, a time when the force was at balance.
I still don't understand why they didn't just make them a swoop bike gang. Or a pod racer gang. For a company that feeds off the fans nostalgia I'm genuinely surprised they didn't go that route instead. They really thought they were being so clever.
Seems to me they thought a half-assed, poorly executed "homage" to American Graffiti would be appreciated and they screwed the pooch hard, in classic modern Disney fashion.
The mods Gang as an idea is totally fine to me, in a world where such tech exists I can totally see it happening. The issue to me was the piss poor design and implementation of it, that just made it look and feel out of place.
I'll be honest, the bike gang was cool and somewhat fits into star wars, when you see a biker gang into shady bussiness, these guys are riding expensive bikes... but yeah... mod gang my ass, inspector gadget had morde modifications than these clowns
For every step forward Disney takes with Star Wars, they take 50 steps backwards. It’s almost impressive how incompetent at every level of development they are.
Blame the education system for churning out individuals that believe in equality of outcome vs equality of opportunity. When you hire talent based on everything BUT talent, you get this schlock and the WORST PART is that they actually think they did a great job!
I think the reason why Rey's outfits hardly ever changed was because Disney made a deal with Hasbro to make toys off the new trilogy and after The Force Awakens came out, no one was buying the toys, they were flooding the shelves all throughout the whole trilogy that when Rise of Skywalker came out, they were still trying to sell all their Force Awakens toys that were sitting in the clearance bins lol they couldn't afford to make new toys based off the new movies, so they needed to keep trying to market the old toys
What’s hilarious is that the mods are actually not a bad concept… they where just put on the wrong planet. A gang like that would fit perfect on a planet like Corellia
yeah, maybe if Boba went to Coruscant and found them kicking ass and decided to bring them in to his crime family. But they've been like that on tatooine for years? I don't see them being able to survive against such vicious people like the pykes, Jabba's thugs or Tusken raiders.
Yes. A bunch of punk Kids belong To an industrialised world with vast cities, where technology is in ample supply, not in a backwater planet where everything is junk and sand. Lots of sand.
Missed opportunity: Boba should have called in the bad batch to fight for him… could you imagine how badass that would be? And that’s when he meets Omega…
15:28 Anyone notice how they even erased Luke Skywalker for Ralph's painting? Kathleen Kennedy really despises Luke Skywalker and the original cast doesn't she.
@@flynncarter229 then why use that painting at all? Only reason was to remove Skywalker. If that was not their intent then they would have used another painting.
I think part of the problem is that most of the new shows are made inside in a studio. Surely, someone making this show on location in a desert would realize how stupid it would be for characters to willingly replace their body parts with droid pieces. Especially since prolonged exposure to sand has been shown to damage, if not almost completely immobilize them.
@Time Code I would give my right eye for a mod....... because I can barely see out of it LMAO. But they're posers and mostly lived off their parents (i bet) stolen money from their own blood to afford the parts until found out and now they live alone after being kicked out and still do not want to take responsibility until they're offered a job. Thats the idea background i get from them lol
3po after spending what 12hrs just walking in the desert on Tatooine needed an oil bath else all the sand and grit in his mechanisms would have seized him up. the people making these shows I dont think have even watched the OT. these are cool cyber characters, they look more like extras from Star Trek rescued Borg colony, that just wandered onto a Star Wars set by mistake
This is a nice sentiment, it gives a lot of deference to the notion that some concepts become obvious with context. But, no. You only have to watch the Bryce Dallas Howard episode versus the Rodriguez episodes to see the difference. I'm not saying it makes it a good show, just that this aesthetic was Rodriguez's intention and vision, and being in the desert wouldn't have changed it one bit. Except for making it more expensive and uncomfortable for the actors.
Lets be absolutely real with one another - The single SMALLEST problem with Disney Star Wars is the sets and CGI. Bad as this chase scene was, I'll take that level of visual quality or worse any day over the absolute butchering of classic characters and this constant hammering of THE MESSAGE as Critical Drinker calls it
@@cembaturkemikkiran4109 really elastic collar that you can slide in. try showing Luke putting the suit its like trying to fly jumbo jet through a pin hole
Just like traditional North African, Middle Eastern, etc. clothing emphasising loose, flowing material that's more comfortable for the climate instead of insisting on zippers and such for... reasons. Function over form.
Imagine just spitting in the face of people who you could never imitate, people who created a world of wonder with consistent logic behind its lifestyle, who made it work not with the rule of cool but by its sheer wonder and consistency and you now destroy their art as an allegory for your take over of their intellectual property.
Funny since they owe their cushy jobs that let them live in nice neighborhoods in Southern California because of those artists they are trashing. Parasites
The argument of Luke having a single zipper justifies for these punk rider customs reminds me of when Quintonreviews pointed out that Obi Wan as a ghost sat on a log in Yoda's swamp thus Yoda hitting Luke on the head with a stick in TLJ makes sense. It's kinda amazing how people can be so accurately nip-picky when it comes to tiny details yet able to brush over giant errors as "haters wanting to hate".
Thats what stopped me from commenting to new "Fans" anymore. They dont care and they hate original star wars and real fans because we point out their bullshit.
I've noticed that too. Disney fans will become the embodiment of the "Well, ackshually..." meme to such lengths just to prove how wrong people who dislike Disney's stuff are.
The thing about the modders is, that they wouldn't even have to change much to make it fit. Give them some rusty old speeder bikes and more believable appearence, cut all that wonky stuff from the chase scene and it would have been fine. Some disillusioned youths from a desert shithole where there is no future forming a gang would not have been such a terrible idea, but the way they made it is just cringey. So why are so many people defending this shit? You're not a bad person if you liked it, but it's almost as if these "fans" think every critique is a personal attack on them specifically. Well, maybe Kenobi will deliver...
Sure. It had nothing to do with killing Obi-Wan's Force Ghost in the dark side ending of The Force Unleashed. These people think that video game logic works for good films. It doesn't. Having said that, I'm going to have to watch The Last Starfighter again.
instead of meeting the competition by making something actually original and good (which is very difficult) they buy the rights and destroy the franchise so they think they dont look as bad, in my eyes everything Disney has implemented isnt cannon because its a hot pile of garbage designed to tear down what makes the original and prequal series so good Edit: tear
I honestly hated the Phantom Menace growing up… then Disney brought out this garbage and man Phantom is a great movie now lol… even Jar Jar doesn’t bother me anymore lol
You can tell Favreau, Filoni, Bryce, Carl etc has heart and want to do Star Wars justice but execs and producers keep forcing them to do stupid shit to appeal to foreign markets

Disney was given a gift when they bought Star Wars. Unfortunately, they lacked the skill or knowledge to know how to properly use that gift. Further, they were to arrogant to ask.
More like they lacked the skill of hiring people who don't purposefully sabotage the franchise. They were always disgusted by all those annoying people enjoying Star Wars and having fun, it had to be stopped.
@@emiliareimann not even quantity, 45 minutes of content is stretched into 6 episodes, Disney chose lack of quality over quantity and quality! or whatever
Disney is literally the worst thing that could have happened to Star Wars. They are destroying everything that made it great, along with fans, in astounding fashion.
Ironic how modified prequel quote is a sum up of ALL of modern Hollywood. This place need to be purged of all this single mind left leaning hacks and their nepotism. Then maybe a talent can be brought back in. But I guess Americans just forgot how they were a country who was created by fliping off people in charge and making changes.
Sad thing is I actually love "Rogue One", and George liked it too, still reminiscent of the authentic Star Wars style. Truly the best SW work Disney has done, hope I'm wrong but I think nothing they do next will top it...
@@MiguelMedV Rebels,Season 7 of The Clone Wars,The Mandalorian,with his highs and lows but actually a good series,EP VIII is pretty good too for me,oh and also Solo Is good,but non memorable
Disney’s been sodomizing IPs since the beginning. It’s just that back in the day, with a few exceptions like Mary Poppins, most of the the stories they told were written by long-dead authors & fandoms weren’t much of a thing.
Honestly, I say just check out the first episode and then see if you will like the rest based on it because The Mandalorian’s episodes in TBOBF were the best ones which is sad

I haven't seen the book of Boba so when the mods were first shown I legit thought it was footage from a shitty movie thrown in as a joke by our author. The design clash was so jarring I thought they were from a sci-fi comedy spoof. It took him showing several shots of them for me to realize it was real. What the actual fuck
@@iansneddon2956 yeah it was so bad. And while we can't, or shouldn't, expect TV shows that have to stretch their smaller budget over more screen time to have CGI and special effects on par with AAA movies, this was not nearly good enough.
Same! And it's disney+, they have all the $! I'm guessing the VFX artists were at the whim of the ridiculous requests of whoever's idea it was to have them looking so shiny, no vfx artist would make those shots without some exec's notes forcing their hand.
I thought basically the same thing. I thought it was from a well made yet cheesy fan production, because for a fan production it would look alright, but official Star Wars production? Friggin terrible, just downright awful.
Disney does understand Star Wars. That's why they hate it. It is so easy to confuse malice for stupidity, especially since we are encouraged to do so. But often they're really just that wicked.
Dweebs on space Vespas wasn’t exactly where we expected Star Wars to go; it’s baffling how uncreative Disney is given that sci and fantasy is full of amazing designs.
I can imagine those dweebs walking into the cantina in Mos Eisly, trying to act tough. Those two thugs that hassled Luke would take one look at them and those losers would mess their mod pants.
Disney completely killed Star Wars for me. Thank you and other good youtubers for finding out why. It's a huge problem that the new Star Wars are about a cheap attempt at milking money. Kenobi series feels like a generic fan film, but long. I tried making some Star Wars fan films myself, but with zero budget and resources it ain't much... Still more Star Wars than Disney cringe.
This is why Kennedy should've been fired long ago - specifically the moment she broke her promise to George, failing "to preserve [his] characters the way [he] envisioned them"
@@rosesweetcharlotte Jon treads the line but I agree somewhat but Dave Filoni has went about and beyond to keep some of the legacy material still canon. I have nothing but respect for Dave.
I kind of wonder how this got into the show. My wife isn't a fan of Star Wars but watches these shows with me because we enjoy spending time together. After seeing the vespa gang, especially the low speed chase, even she was like "what was that?" Who exactly is this for? Fans hate it, even casual watchers who know little about Star Wars are pushed away by it, I don't get it.
Seemed like something out of Power Rangers as opposed to Star Wars. What could they have possibility been thinking. Someone must have been on drugs when they wrote that. It completely detracts from the setting.
THAT... is funny! Like the time my girlfriend unexpectedly came home from work early only to burst into the TV room to find me.... Laughing out loud watching Scooby Doo! 🙈😁🇬🇧

They dont hate marvel, it's their main cash cow, so much so that they try to make ever brand like marvel, like star wars Their goal is to make the star wars fandom the same as marvel's, as marvel is able to just pump family friendly shit out at a ridiculous rate and earn a lot of money, if they can replicate this with star wars, theyre gonna be swimming in money, the only problem is star wars isnt marvel, the style and story telling completely different, so they have to wipe out the old to replace it with more marvel family friendly happy ending repetitive stuff
@@themelon_1785 sad part is they don't even need to replicate or attempt to with star wars. They can use the old model and it would make them 10x more money, yet they decide to ruin it for short term profit. Disney need a grip

You know, when I heard Kathleen's name for Starwars, I was like, "THE Kathleen Kennedy from Patrice's radio show? The one that couldn't stand being wrong on the show and proves Patrice's criticism correct over and over?", and I was quite skeptical about what was about to come for Starwars. My skepticism has been correct so far.
How she got as far as she has in show business is one of life's greatest mysteries. Spielberg himself said she was terrible at taking notes and gave off bad ideas. My guess is that she has dirt on some very powerful people
Lucas is a huge Formula1 fan. That's why in every Star Wars film there's a racing scene. 1 - podracing 2 - Coruscant chase 3 - Obi-Wan chasing Grievous 4 - Death Star trench run 5 - Asteroid trench run 6 - Speederbikes on Endor. Each one of them is miles better than this slow goofy shit.
Coruscant chase is my favorite scene in the entire movie. And I consider this one the most boring one, not worst but boring one, yet this scene is a reason I rewatch with the rest in binge. Tell me anyone is there any scene that excuses a rewatch of any part of Rey trilogy?!
I honestly believe the mod aspect could of worked and been an interesting motif, modded desert clone war era tech and gear, roughed up speeders and uk 1970's impoverished angst. They just had no interest in understanding the sub culture or trying to adapt it to the context. why did they go for 2000's hot topic americana in space other than its cheap and easy ?
It’s all a matter of who the series director is. BoBF was Robert Rodriguez Star Wars, TCW is Dave Filoni Star Wars etc. The only thing I got from BoBF is we should never allow Robert Rodriguez near Star Wars again, it doesn’t mean I’m not hyped for Mando S3 or Kenobi
@@nickter745thebold8 he was the series director and the episodes he personally directed (1, 3, and 7) are the ones with the most stupid shit and the only ones I’ve seen people show a lot of criticism towards. So yea, Robert Rodriguez was the problem with BoBF.
Ah yes, the worst part of Disney Star Wars is that they added goth kids on vespas. And apparently that means Disney hates the people that made the first 6 movies.
I work in a concept art studio, and let me tell ya, I see far more striking fresh ideas there than anything I've seen in the modern Disney Star Wars "content". Lucasfilm has virtually unlimited creative power and budget and THIS is what they choose to do? It's pathetic, really. It's quite clear that for them, quantity prevails over quality. The (lack of) attention to detail and consistency in the lore is laughable. And don't get me started on the scripts.. The state of our beloved franchises in 2022 is beyond sad...
I've been in debates over how the First Order TIE fighters have hyperdrive. Not only does it not make sense to fit short-range fighters filled with disposable troops with long-ranging capabilities, but there are hardly any visible indications of change from the originals. You'd expect to see some additional bulk, at the least. Maybe there are some unwieldy-looking sections where new parts were grafted into an older design. Maybe they had to lengthen the cockpit or change the engine design; maybe the wing sections have to be changed to accommodate new weapon configurations or something. Or maybe they had to abandon the TIE Fighter platform and work with Bombers, Advanced, and Interceptor models. Disney doesn't care enough to think anything through.
That's because Disney Star Wars content loves to recycle old concept art from the OT. There's a point where it stops being heart-warming nostalgia bait and it begins to beg the question if the people working on these shows are capable of coming up with new things at all.
“Luke’s flight suit had a zipper!!!” And it didn’t change the style of the suit to something closer to Earth. It’s still clearly an otherworldly thing. Mod Girl looks like she just strolled out of Hot Topic two minutes ago
I still think the root of the hate is KK, every move she has been a part of has been almost tailor-made to spit on, sabotage, and tear down what Lucas made while wrapping herself tightly in a cloak of being creative with the carte blanch contract she got from Iger. That contract is the only reason she is still around, and her current contract seems to have her under much heavier oversight than before so she doesn't salt the earth on her way out...cause they now KNOW she is petty enough to do it.
The way KK is blamed is basically just a strawman introduced by the same kind of misogynists who were already deeply involved in other incel movements like Gamergate, you know MauLer or Sargon of akkad who were early into the Sequel hate. She seems to be a more than competent producer, if you just look at the projects she was involved in. Blockbusters like E.T., Jurassic Park, Gremlins, Back to the Future. The people who try to frame her as a hack who got into her position have basically no knowledge about film and no business talking about it, there are probably few producers who can look back at an outstanding career as Kathleen Kennedy. She made mistakes and I would say her biggest mistake was probably just to be much too hands off with the trilogy initially. We know that Rian Johnson was afforded to basically do whatever he wanted without much studio intervention and guidelines. Actually, Johnson admitted that he probably self-censored where he wouldn't have needed to. Which probably would be a great approach in most scenarios, giving the director as much creative liberty as possible and it could even work with traditional Blockbuster sequels which were much more stand alone storys, it just failed in Star Wars where the trilogies are a much more serialized formate relying more on each installment continuing one single narrative. Her mistake was not having one creative lead for the sequel trilogy who holds the rains for each installment, while with the Star Wars TV Shows you have Dave Filoni who is behind every show. I wouldn't even assume that the Sequel era is fully unsalvagable, Filoni and Lucas effectively managed to fix the prequel era through the Clone Wars TV Show which is what most people nowadays associate with the Prequel era, the movies being more meme material than anything else.
The facts don't support your argument. In fact they suggest that Kennedy's success as a producer is the product of working with Spielberg and Lucas. She's clearly pushing an agenda and "woke" concepts into star wars and it's ruining the product. If you read articles or watch interviews she's very hands on. The results speak for themselves. Her movies are the first in the history of the franchise to lose money. And that doesn't even get into other horrible content like the high republic. You can take the nonsense route and blame misogyny if you want. Both men and women have made it clear the product she's put out is trash. The only successful shows have been the product of favreau and filoni. In which several sources have stated she isn't allowed to interfere with.
@@shizachan8421 Yeah. But she did nothing on ET and others. Shes made consistent failure one after the other even since she was given more power. Her work on star wars was consistent garbage. They shouldn't have decanonized every thing. They should have listened to Lucas and mark hamill. They shouldn't have brought Han back. Harrison ford hated it. He wanted to be an actor, not a character. Any other work he does is now in Han solos shadow and he hates it. And guess what, before they started filming the first movie, they should have had a comprehensive script and plan for the trilogy. This is an unnaceptable error. Its gross incomptence. Its not a fan made project. They could get the president of the united state to appear in a sex scene in the movie if they wanted. Also, Stop saying mysogennist and such. It completly remove any credibility. It's the far righters who says "The left said that". Stop. There is crazy people. There is sexist people. But they aren't as prevalent. They aren't the whole. When you talk with someone, at least don't think that the opponent, or an entire group he's with/you think he's with but isn't... Is made of crazy people.
I was excited for the Kenobi show but now I’m just terrified to see how they’ll screw it up 😑they’ll some how figure out a way to screw up a such beloved and perfect character
Truth is disney lost that spark along time ago. They use to be the company others try to compete with. Of course disney hates those who made Star Wars, those movies stand the test of time. The sequel series have already been forgotten about.
Disney: "Why do I need to put in effort anymore when I can simply buy out the competition?" Its basically the same mindset as EA in the videogame industry
I have been a hard-core Star Wars fan my entire life. And Disney has completely ruined the joy it brought to my life. I used to still have a tiny bit of hope that just maybe they could make something good. Because I thought the Mandalorian was pretty ok. But the Book of Boba was the final straw for me. I immediately canceled Disney Plus. The show was so bad they would have had to be trying to make it bad. I refuse to watch them destroy my favorite character Obi-Wan.
Same here man, although I didn't cancel Disney Plus (there are other things on there besides Star Wars), but I totally get you. I'm not even going to lie, I actually went into a slight depression when it was announced that Disney was buying Star Wars. Because I already knew they would completely trash it. I nearly walked out on the Force Awakens because it was just so bad. Yet so many people wanted to praise it. I'm just happy that so many people are FINALLY starting to wake up to the fact that Disney is one of the worst possible situations for Star Wars as a franchise. Every single time Disney screws up, it's a win for the originals since it just encourages people to check them out.
@@-CrimsoN- Yea there are other shows on Disney Plus. But the only power we have as consumers is to refuse to continue to give our money to companies who want to Shit on us, ruin our favorite shows, movies and heroes and try to destroy our culture. So I say we should all refuse to pay them. And just maybe they will eventually wise up.
Disney also hates strong female characters since they wiped out Mara Jade, Jaina Solo, and many other strong female characters from the EU, and Allana Solo(Anakin's Great Granddaughter) who had the potential to be one of the strongest female characters in all of Star Wars, but Disney sadly killed her before she could even reach 10 years old.
Nah, it's not that they hate female characters. They did the same for all the EU characters. What they truly hate is paying folk for their work. They would've need to pay royalties to them if they were use those characters. So what they did was wipe them out, then later on they will mine those stories for ideas. And go ... "Well, we're only inspired by those stories. So we don't need to pay you people at all." Just you wait, we're going to met a girl with nearly the exact backstory of Mara Jade soon but she'll be called... Duny Scar or something.
Rey was such a strong and capable female that she didn't leave Jakku to look for her parents, even though she new how to repair ships and fly them. She could have offered to be a crew member of a ship and left the planet to search for her parents. I've mentioned this in the past, and people have said, "Well she was waiting for them to return." My response to that was, "Well, if staying there to wait for her parents to return was so important to her, then why did she leave with some strange guy that she just met?"
@@WilliamTheMovieFan She's such a strong female character, that she knows how to do everything with little to no experience. Knows how to use a lightsaber? Cause she carried a stick. Knows how to pilot the Millennium Falcon? Cause she explored a destroyed Star Destroyer that apparently still had its flight simulations working. (Nevermind the fact that just because she's good at a simulation, doesn't mean she'd be good with any ship, especially a ship that's not even of the same type/class.) Knows how to sail across an ocean with monstrous waves because...sure, that makes sense for a character who lived on a desert planet for most their life.
@@deterlanglytone That seems to be true for everybody except Timothy Zahn, who managed to get Thrawn canonized but practically none of his other characters, including Mara. He's one of the few authors in the old EU to still have regular work with SW; most of the others saw the writing on the wall and split with their artistic integrity intact.
I feel like had they went more cyberpunk with the mods, they would have been way more interesting as well as somewhat fitting within the theme intended for the original trilogy. Instead, Disney made them a gang of brats, which was a very unfortunate distraction for the series.
Back in 2012 I thought Disney buying Star Wars would lead to great things. Boy was I wrong. So, so wrong. Disney has done nothing but kill any and all future interest for me with this franchise.
I remember reading something years ago about the craftsmen who built the sets for Star Wars, all shiny and sci-fi. Then they were told to beat them up and make them look dirty and lived-in. They were disappointed to have to tarnish things up, but ultimately satisfied with the end product. Up until then, most science-fiction had been sterile and therefore unrelatable. Even Star Trek, which touched on social issues of the time, was a Utopian fantasy.
There were two things that I hated the most, and that was A: The fact that Boba Fett was made a side character in the show that was supposed to be about him after like, the third or fourth episode I think, having to have his hand held by his entourage and having no respect on a planet that he was infamous on in the OG series. And then, B: The show becoming a continuation of The Mandalorian halfway through because they couldn't be fucked to give Boba more of a story that didn't rely on the Mando swooping in to save the day. Don't get me wrong, I liked The Mandalorian and I adore Grogu, but they literally have their own show. There was no reason for them to come in and hijack this one, it was very annoying.
Remember when you were excited for the sale of Star Wars to Disney because they could leverage their talent to put out quality products? Don't feel too bad. Everyone is stupid when their young.
To be fair, the MCU was a few years in at the time Star Wars was bought and doing well. Disney buying Pixar hadn't done anything to kill its quality yet either. Disney making crowd-pleasing movies was expected so they couldn't do wrong with Star Wars, right?
At the time I naively said to my friends “guys, just think, someone BESIDES George Lucas is going to get to make a Star Wars movie!” I am not too proud to admit that I was wrong. Time makes fools of us all. Seeing what Star Wars has become, that excitement turned to ashes in my mouth as I walked out of the theater after suffering through The Last Jedi.
Got to love these kinds of people, they do everything to go out of their way to disrespect and antagonize not only the fans but the people who work on star wars only to complain about how toxic the fandom is when real fans start complaining.
yeah a lot of these channels including Robot Head are quite toxic and negative towards star wars especially when it comes to things that are considered to be good, but the criticism towards Book of Boba are all true, also lots of the problems with star wars today comes from the higher ups at Disney because all decisions go through them if they don't like it they scrap it, thats what happened with a lot of Rebels, somewhat with the Sequels and with a few parts form Mandalorian and I'm pretty sure is what happened here with Book of Boba, however I know that Star Wars is still really good and can be better all we have to do is get the higher ups who don't care about this franchise fired, also if something with the franchise is really bad we need to talk about it they might listen eventually
@@starwarsjedi2296 What are you on about disney is ruining star wars,and alot of people actually like it unlike you,so they can express their opinion which is that it is bad and since when did he?
@@Kevin-fj3ff I’m not entirely sure what you meant by this comment, but all I was trying to say was that as much as people don’t like to admit it Disney Star Wars is actually quite good aside from a few fumbles here and there, I understand that there are problems and I understand that some of the people working there don’t care about the people who created it and I have a massive problems with that, I wasn’t trying to offend anyone and I’m not putting people down for having an opinion I’m just saying something that I find a bit annoying about Disney Star Wars and also about some of the people who criticise it no matter how good it is
The scooter gang reminded me of something straight out of the Judge Dredd comics and movies. I was expecting Dredd to come around the corner at any given time with his Lawgiver and sentence something to the Cubes for 30 years for illegally parking their scooters and another 30 years for illegal Body mods.
That reminds me of old comic Dreed. Those parody level sentences, over misnomer crimes. "You failed to parallel park in a timely manner, to the iso-cubes!" lol
The mods thing *might* work on mid city or upper city Coruscant but Mos Espa is insane. It would have been much more on point and believable to have Boba hire on the Nikto bikers after establishing that they didnt kill his Tusken buddies.
My biggest fear is Disney remaking the original trilogy after Lucas dies. The biggest "fuck you" on top of loads and loads of them. At the rate they're going, it will definitely happen.
@@sigmundbartosch3542 Nah, Gosling is too masculine and stoic. If Disney were to remake it, they would cast some 90lb weakling as Luke and make him act whiny and crack bad jokes every minute.
Had no idea they (Lucasfilm/Disney) candidly disrespected the folks that laid the groundwork for the whole SE universe. I’m never spending my money or time watching that recycled garbage of a franchise anymore.
It's been well documented by people such as ItchyBacca from DisneyStarWarsisDumb for several years now. Emboldened by being backed by almost infinite corporate money and riding on the waves of the trends making their way into mainstream media, journalists, writers and corporate employees ran off their mouths on social media taking jabs at long existing franchises and their fanbases calling them outdated, not as good as they were and in dire need of a makeover which the content that they pushed for gladly provided.
In a corporation, massaging rear ends with tongues are important. Fans, especially male, generally don' t do it. Even Lucas who was worshipped, got criticised for his decisions. The people who made the films disliked having to hear people complaining about its quality, that' s my idea. Lucas, too, but he had the courage to try to make his film his ways all the way.
@@Account.for.Comment Lucas had a vision and he went through with it. That's why we love the Star Wars he created. It was the same with Lord of the Rings. Peter Jackson had a vision and he went through with it. There are way too many contemporary modern concepts (like politics and cultural memes) shoehorned into filmmaking today and that's why everything just sucks. That's how we know Amazon's LOTR will suck before it even comes out.
@@whitegoose2017 When Lucas made SW, people challenged him all the time. The final version is not his original one. Harrison Ford even said " you can type it, you can' t say it". In ESB, the director and cast even snubbed him by changing some lines to better ones ie. " I Know". George kept it in. By the time he made the prequels, he was worshipped. Even before it was released, In PM, George admitted that "he went too far in a few places". Many fans criticised it. It is a personal for him, he cared about his works. He had his ego but he let slides to see it become better. The movies address the criticisms but staying true to what he believed the story to be, a story of a father and son. Luke was Lucas, not wanting to become a businessman like his father, and Anakin was Lucas ending up a businessman anyway. I don' t imagine this, Lucas said this. Disney just wanted money. Star Wars is a lifestyle where people can brag they belonged to. They want to sell geek culture. They put progressive politics in to shield themselves from criticisms. While Lucas was trying to make story that always resonates as he was an anthropology major, Disney was chasing any fad. That' it. If feminine housewives are the most respected profession today, Rey would be a chef.
The reason Disney made such a low end sequel trilogy that was unfaithful to the original story line is that Disney was ALWAYS jealous of Lucas' success. Back in the day when George Lucas was looking for a studio to pick up the project, Disney was one of the ones visited that rejected his proposal. 20th Century Fox was the only studio that was willing to take a chance. When the franchise took off and had all the box office and merchandising sales, Disney was pissed that they missed the opportunity. There is a rumor that the person who made the decision to turn down Lucas was forced to quit several years later when Empire was released. Now that Disney has swallowed up Fox and bought out the franchise from Lucasfilm, They tried to destroy the franchise..They started by rejecting 30 years of novels and dictating what was and was not canon, despite what the fanbase said. It appears that the fans have stood up to Disney after the Force Awakens trilogy, and they would rather make a buck giving the fans what they want.
Sure they may have the right to decide what is and what is not canon, but they did a piss poor job at it. That's how blinded by jealousy and hatred they are.
How naive are you? You really think Disney dropped 4 Billion with the sole intention of running it into the ground? I agree it’s nothing special anymore, and Disney really dropped the ball, but to assume that they did it INTENTIONALLY out of JEALOUSY is just ludicrously removed from reality. Disney is a massive multi media conglomerate, they are trying to turn a profit. Just because you only enjoy fiction with defined good and evil doesn’t mean that’s how the real world works. Trust me, there’s not evil emperor sitting at the top cackling to himself about he finally got one over on George.
They also hate how he went north, beyond their ability to exploit the franchise but eventually talked him into slowly incorporating rides into Disneyland, and how they treated characters like Luke once they bought him out tells the whole story... it was a deliberate billion dollar sabotage.

I’ll just say, it’s great to see more creators shedding light on just how awful and out of place the Mod characters were. There was ZERO point to them. There’s 10 different ways you could have replaced them and simply doing so would have elevated the series. They were THAT bad. It was the worst Robert Rodriguez has done and reeked of Kathleen Kennedy and her awful influence on the franchise.
Those who attack us for being toxic never explain themselves as deep as this. We have proof and sane people to dig up the evidence of the horrendous job Disney has done to the Franchise

@@tysondance7476 Ease off on the kid. I know what he meant: Back when one of the BIG topics was Star Wars and you basically had everyone quoting even the then ATROCIOUS Prequel Trilogy (because back then, we were blessed with ignorance of how much worse it could get) and even with said Prequels we still would talk about the series. There were games abound and actual books people can read and enjoy! Some flops but nothing that sours the entire experience, nor was there anything that directly pissed on Anakin's role in things (Bad as Dark Empire was, the Skywalkers were in the thick of it and I feel it was ultimately superior to what the Sequels did). Jedi were powerful but also had their own flaws and there wasn't some 'I am all of the Jedi' mary sue bullshit. Correct me if I am wrong. I was born in 93 so I missed the initial hype of the Original Trilogy and did not appreciate the copies me and the family had back then. Hell I didn't really pay much attention to Phantom Menace but I KNEW OF STAR WARS. And I knew of it as something genuinely cool, I got to watch Star Wars Clone Wars and enjoyed the animation by Gendy Tartakovsky and the rather excellent storytelling, I saw Revenge of the Sirh and loved it while understanding the underlying tragedy of it. Then I saw The Force Awakens and my enthusiasm was damaged some but, I figured, it could get better maybe and hey! Rogue One was decent (and became great at the end)...Then The Last Jedi came out and I was initially the same as all those fucking idiots who blindly praised it because Star Wars (Phantom Menace had a good opening Box Office before peeps realized it was not great) and tried to justify things in my head. Eventually I came to my senses and I grew to just...not care.
@@boxtank5288 Once you stop gawking at the shine and polish you start to realise the sequel trilogy offers nothing and leaves the galaxy right where it was at the end of ROTJ.

The mods were a cool concept with a relatively interesting source material. The problem was that they leaned way too heavily on that source material and didn't bend it at all for its integration in Star Wars. Real life Mods were extremely similar to the ones we see in BoBF including their speeders, modified Vespa's with extremely colorful paint and an excessive number of mirrors, ergo slow bright and obnoxious. That inspiration is interesting to say the least but the world of Tatooine itself, its rules and environments and the laws of the Star Wars universe should've directly been reflected in their actions and outfits. Examples such as the Mods (who are supposedly a poorer class of Tatooine citizen) should be using primarily old junky droid and cybernetic parts which they go through painstaking effort to "pretty up". Their bikes as well could be explained to be slower like the irl Mods if they were visibly lower class speeders that they just slapped a bunch of cosmetics on, and this obsession with keeping things shiny and clean looking should also reflect Tatooines environment. Show a couple of the mods getting annoyed or pissy that their paint job got messed up or a bunch of sand and dust got in their components and show them being fussy over these sorts of things. If you want to have something stand apart in an environment it should not belong you have to establish a reason for it. Since they're primarily a city bound group their outfits don't have to be desert survivor worthy like previous entries but they should at least reflect the nature of sand which as we all know is course rough and gets everywhere
I think they were misplaced on tatooine, might have fit better to the streets of corellia or courusant. in E1 we see a lot of people, dressed fancy for the bunta eve race, right? so This shoudl have been the standard for a "city-street gang". The chase was very cartoonishly imagined. I think it would have lookd better if they went for your idea with the rough cobbled-together speeders.
It's a terrible idea, a blatant rip-off that doesn't even come close to an homage, and has absolutely no place in any Star Wars setting. What lunatic thought this was a good idea and implemented in such a bizarrely dumb fashion.
Hilariously, the Comics had Cyborgs that added weapons and shit into their modifications. One of my favorite examples is from Dark Empire, where Luke finds a Jedi who survived Order 66 and the Empire whose body was mangled so badly the people of the planet he hid on had to modify them with the strange but weirdly effective tech to the point he was more machine than man, he floated above the ground and his arm had a large built in lightsaber. A Lightsaber. Built into his fucking arm. Like a fucking retractable Katar, so his saber style is already altered and thus makes his attacks more unpredictable. Empatojayos Brand was so fucking cool.
Jedi: Fallen Order had the Haxion Brood, who were a criminal organization who augmented their bounty hunters with droid parts, probably from all the military driods that were scrapped after the CIS defeat. Their designs are pretty cool.
Luke finds a Jedi who survived Order 66...in Dark Empire...Empire's End...um... No, that was the Purge, back then. Order 66 hadn't been invented. I thought his design was reminiscent of the torture droid, or whatever you call it. This was back when cyborgs were terrifying and unnatural. Heck, even droids were understood so little in real life, and in the Star Wars galaxy, it was a complete shock when someone installed bombs and blew up the Senate chamber with droids in The New Rebellion.
Swtor does that as well though not to that extreme. (Probably partially due to gameplay). Cyborgs are a species yeah. But there’s armors that make you look almost like a combat droid. And a LOT of enemies that are specifically said to be enhanced via cybernetics in obvious ways like strength or speed. The fact they managed to give them nearly useless cybernetics when that was basically their whole gimick is rather sad.
He sold it so the hundreds of people working at Lucas Film still had a secure career even after he retired. As long as Disney doesn't do any mass layoffs it was still worth it for Lucas. But with the way they're stomping the franchise into the ground, maybe that might change in the near future...
@@leftyfourguns He didnt have to sell it to fucking Disney, he called them white slavers right after he sold it because he knew they would destroy it all... Also Disney didnt honor his agreements with him, they tossed away all of his original ideas and replaced many of the ppl at Lucasfilm with hacks and ideologues, There were so many alternatives he could have went with that didnt involve selling the fucking company or handing it to one of the worst coporations in America.
My problem with the Mods is, that improve yourself with droid parts that work sh*t isnt very impressive in a world where people like General Grievous and Darth Vader exist.
I knew a guy in college with a small compact car. The hood looked like it was about to fall off, and the whole thing was covered in bird droppings. It was all a ruse, however, because he had a high-performance engine under the hood, and a banging sound system in it, too! The bad surface looks was just to deter car thieves, making them think his car wasn't worth stealing!
Lol, that's nice, but car thieves will steal anything. Had our family minivan stolen from the front of our house - and it was a beat up, dinky old thing. But they still stole it.
I saw a Google ad today saying, "Fans seemingly change their minds & say that the last jedi is actually their favorite new Star Wars movie." Promptly marked the website to never show up again in my feed.
There is no coming back now! We finally get to talk about the Mods. Who could possibly defend this stupid show? Do you have hope for the Obi-Wan show? Let me know in the comments. And remember, if you enjoyed the video (how could you not) hit the “Like”. Subscribing and sharing the video is always a big help. And of course the bell. Cheers! 👍 *I know Dune existed before Star Wars. My joke may be confusing. I am after all only a Robot Head
There's something very disjointed in the storytelling about the Mods. Were they only there to explain the ease of body modifications in their world to make Shand's robo-belly easily explained and acceptable? Was there a more important narrative plan for them until Disney decided to shoehorn in The Mandalorian into the series?
Very likely. I personally have no issue with the mods existing in the Star Wars universe (for example, I could see them up to no good in the lower levels of Coruscant); but I DO have an issue with them being on Tatooine. Like when I saw them all I could think was “what, did your parents drop you off here until you straighten up? ‘I’m warning you, missy: one more modification and I’m shipping you to Tatooine!’”

As someone who knows how studios work, the lack of vision and cohesion is what happens when your CEO is an incredible producer, but not a businesswoman. Usually studio heads delegate down to a team of producers, who find incredible writers, to follow the vision set forward (think Marvel's phases or how A24 does high concept indie films), what does Lucasfilm do? Throw everything at the wall.
The disrespect towards the Star Wars franchise is what Hollywood has wanted to do all along. Since the beginning, Lucas avoided Hollywood at all costs when he made Star Wars. Hollywood stereotyped and ridiculed the fanbase as much as possible in response. Now that those corporate creeps have the franchise in their hands, they’re doing what they’ve always dreamed of, destroying the franchise from the inside out slowly and publicly.
To me the care and love for a franchise can be seen in how consistent and well told the stories are. There's plenty of inconsistencies in Book of Mandofedd but the Modds take the cake. We first hear how expensive it is to mod yourself, then we hear these guys have been stealing water to survive while they have a bunch of body mods and souped up scooters. The only people who are a fan of the new Star Wars like it solely for the "representation" and "diversity" it has. Unfortunately they dont understand what bad representation is. Finn is a great example, a black man as a lead character and a turncoat Stormtrooper to boot, you can do so much with that! Nope he's a comic relief character and about a quarter of his dialogue is *REEEEY* while he shoots his fellow Stormtroopers in the face laughing. He tells us these are brainwashed children who need to be re-educated to remain Stormtroopers! The entire Finn storyline should have been about wether or not murdering every Stormtrooper is a good idea and how/if they deserve a second chance or not.
That's one of the things I didn't like about Finn. His entire story arc should have absolutely been about dealing with not just PTSD from the fight that broke his brain-washing but also trying to live with the conditioning that still remained. Such as the fight at Maz's castle. The instant Han, Chewie and Finn ran into that first group of Stormtroopers, Finn should have dropped them without even trying; just pure reflex reaction. Han gives him a "Nice shooting" while Finn just looks down at the blaster like he has no idea what just happened but then later when he actually tries to aim and shoot he starts shaking because he's beginning to have flashbacks to the fight on Jakku. Instead we get bait and switched about him being the new Jedi.
I honestly hoped that Finn would be the lead character - non-Force-sensitive stormtrooper defector? Lots of potential, but NOOOO, they HAD to go with the Jedi Mary Sue.
Yeah, I remember thinking 'wtf happened to finn? His character seemed like it could be so much more developed, then they just shove him aside to focus on Rey, a largely forgettable and bland character. Finn would've been 100x more interesting.
Some of your best work right here Robot Head. Nearly snorted out coffee laughing in numerous places. This video is hilarious yet depressing at the same time to see how these new hacks are destroying our once beloved franchise.
One of the worst parts of this is that the idea of a group modifying themselves with droid parts is actually really interesting. Imagine if they had modifications from known combat droids, like the arm of a super battle droid or the shield generator from a droideka! But no, they’re just a bunch of borderline useless cyborgs with really stupid scooters.

Totally agree! Besides the fact that they are all totally incorrectly dressed for both location & economical status + that they ride speeders that absolutely do not fit in, none of the modifications make any sense at all. It's all about surface, once again, never substance. "Look how cool I look with my prosthetic arm!" "Can you do anything special with it? Does it give you extra strength? Can you climb walls or something?" "Dude, I never even use it on the show!" The really sad irony is that they even give us screen time to set these kids up as something to be feared, as if they have a long criminal track record on Tatooine & shit. All they did was steal water & apparently no one got physically hurt. How could they when their mods can't harm a fly even if they try & their speeders run slower than I can run?
The idea for the mods & that they work for Boba is an excellent idea! I even appreciate that they are "misunderstood". But for that to happen one needs a bloody reason to misunderstand in the first place!

Everything Disney makes us the same, and it all sucks. Mando was acceptable, but still not good, other than like the first episode(mostly), and a few other scenes. Other than that, it was weird as fuck.
@@ch3cksund3ad Disney is Aids! Everything they touch becomes pos
The weird thing I kept noticing in 'Book of Boba Fett' is that Fennec kept having to tell Boba things that he should know. The man's been a bounty hunter for most of his life and his father was a famous bounty hunter. He should know all about how the underworld and criminal organisations work.
Isn't Boba the oldest character in Mandalorean? I can't remember anyone else from before episode II.
You know why. The most important part of these shows is not to entertain, teach, inspire or even turn a profit; the main thing is to push the agenda. So, of course the male character must be brought down to bring the female character up. Its equity they would tell you.
@@Fifthmiracle Exactly
It's because they clearly see their viewers as being so inept at the ability to follow a plotline or work things out for themselves with their own intelligence that they feel the unbridled need to _explain literally everything_ as if people need their hands held at all times. It's literally insulting the audience's intelligence.
@@_Jay_Maker_ which makes sense somtimes, but still, that could be conveyed by Boba telling his subordinates about his plan, but he never had a plan, or subordinates, that is the worst part of the show for me, he replaced the hutts with basically no one working under him, how the fuck did he expect to get paid for the protection he clearly couldn't provide
Hit me in the feels when Ackbar's actor said he cried knowing that was the last this character said.
That killed me on the inside. He must have been so excited to play akbar, hoping that he’d get some bigger role since he was being brought back for the movie.
@@Chroniclerope I was sad to see ackbar die.
What really gets to me isn't the fact that he dies, but the way that they killed him. Used for a cheap cameo and tossed aside, like yesterday's newspaper. No last words, no heroic sacrifice, no final stand, no bittersweet sendoff. Just thrown away and forgotten about. It makes me mad.

you know, episode 1 unironically did the biker gang concept better, podracing. you had these wild, monster jet engines piloted by adrenaline junkies in a pod hanging back by cables. tried to painted to look pretty, but they still have this weathered look from sand rushing past at like 900 miles per second. But that's because the prequels had a lot of thought in how things were designed, and who designed them.
I had a book about the Phantom Menace long ago that really deatiled the production and especially the creative direction process. It was actually amazing to see how the people behind those scenes designed the vehicles, often taking inspiration from nature or re-forming the original trilogy's designs. It was more than just "slap some extra mirrors on floating Vespa bikes and call it done".
For droidekas for example, the artists took inspiration by looking at ancient tribal African artworks and illustrations. Now that's research. They didn't mind putting in time and effort at all.
those are 2 entirely different things why do so many star wars fans have fucking brain rot
Honestly. I didn't know about the zipper rule or anything like that about the costume design of star wars. But every time the mods have been shown to me I always got a distinctly "This doesn't look right" in terms of their look. It really goes to show that a well-thought set of guidelines for costumes can bring a story to life so much more.
Exactly. They don’t look like Star Wars, they look like something shoehorned in just to look modern & relatable to please the teenage audience who think real-world issues need to be represented in a work of hard science fiction.
They look like they are from Back from the Future 2
Yeah I remember seeing the mods and be like '... uhh why are these folks here? If they don't have money for water how do they have water for all of that?'
I think they’d work better on coruscant
@@briansvedin1788 The thing is that real life issues do get discussed in Star Wars. It's just that it was infinitely better in the original movies. The existence of aliens and how they are being treated in the universe brings up a lot of similarities to real life discrimination and racism, thus allowing the viewer to ask themselves questions about it. The Force is a metaphor for religion, and it delves into Lucas own views of existence and what could be behind it. The originals were made some time after the Vietnam war, so George made a whole scene where the same scenario is depicted of a technologically inferior species standing up against a big evil empire. In Disney Star Wars it's just "These are the bad guys, and we wanted to kind of make them look like space nazis. How do we get that message through? Just show them shooting civilians and blowing up entire planets while giving speeches complete with the Stormtroopers giving the salute." It's just so on the nose.
At this point I want Disney Star Wars to fail so badly that everyone involved gets fired and replaced with talented people. Unfortunately, we don't live in a logical world.
If it hasn't failed by now it never will. Shills will consume anything with the Star Wars brand no matter how terrible as indicated by BOBF and the Sequel Trilogy, and their tiny brains will deal with the dissonance by saying to themselves "it's Star Wars, it can't be bad I must be wrong".
Fired is good. I want to see them go up flames though.
@Nortius Maximus true. They'd have to do a laundry list to win me back including admitting the Sequels were garbage, give a public apology to Gina Carano, and do faithful animated adaptations of the Thrawn Trilogy. All stuff I know they won't do

I had plenty of other issues with it, such as being taken out of story by the gratuitous pod racing scenes that were transparently computer game advertisements. The only positive thing I remember hearing was people musing that maybe little kids might find Jar Jar funny but I've yet to find one.
Every time Disney does something to Star Wars that makes me think "it can't get any worse than this", it does, in fact, get worse.

thank you for mentioning Rey having no costume change. I've had this convo with my brother a lot. If you see a version of Luke, you can instantly tell which movie it is from because he changes costumes all the time. plus it sells more toys because you needed to have the "jedi" luke, the "hoth" luke, etc.
I always feel that Rey is wearing a diaper.
Sells more toys too
Rey does get different outfits, but her first and last outfit are pretty similar to each other.
It's also some great visual storytelling in Luke and Anakin's costume changes throughout their three movies.
Anakin as a boy is wearing white clothing, symbolizing his good nature and general innocence. But as he gets older, and his Jedi robes grow darker due his pain and ambition, until he becomes Darth Vader and is wearing all black signifying his fall to darkness.
Luke starts the same way, at the beginning of his journey he wears white, then in Empire he still mostly wears white but it becomes dirty and tattered from his training and learning the truth of his father and dangers of the Dark Side. By Jedi, he's wearing all black as he journeys into darkness to save Anakin, but when you see the flap of his jacket open, it's white on the inside showing that even though Luke surrounded by darkness, it hasn't reach his "core" which is still pure.
Meanwhile Rey's outfits, much like her character, barely changes, aside from some superficial details.

In many ways I’m glad Disney has huge failures with Star Wars. It highlights the true genius of George and all the visionary’s who brought this galaxy to life. We can stop pretending that just because more money gets dumped into something makes it a better product. I said this from the start with both Disney and Amazon buy the rights to LOTR.

I could’ve totally seen the Mods being on Corascant’s lower districts, or on Nar Shadaa, but not on Tatooine. If these guys showed up in Mos Eisley with their colorful spotless scooters and exposed cyborgsnics, within 5 minutes, they’d be mugged by bar scum, killed by tuskins, and scrapped for parts by jawas, in that order.
This was exactly my complaint too, they wouldn't have been so jarring if they were on a planet like Corellia that had similar attire and matched the atmosphere; the Mods belong in the opening of the Solo movie, not here on Tattoine where sand would obviously get into their augmentations and the twin suns would make an example of them
if they had FITTING mods I wouldn't have an issue with it. like dirty gritty neck augmentation to help filter sand from the air. or something lol idk
What infuriated me more than the brightly coloured scooters is that the main girl of the group is living on a hot desert planet with two suns and she's so pale she'd blend into the snow on Hoth.

I have never and likely will never understood the "fanboy tears" thing. Why would anyone be happy that fans of a thing are unhappy?
And the weird part is, it's not that they hate the thing the fans like, they just love the fact that the fans are unhappy.
Why is it suddenly a bad thing to make something for the actual fans of that thing?
Because they define "fans" as "toxic manbabies that hate change." And ofc, throw in all the -phobe and -ist insults as well.
They seem themselves as progress, and "fans" as the ones holding back progress. Thus, "fans" need to suffer as they are on hte "right side of history."
What's that? This change doesn't fit into the universe, is poorly thought out, and doesn't even go anywhere? CRY MORE FOR ME, FANBOY! You only hate it because it's new and challenges your bigoted world view! It's all about the THEMES and MESSAGE your hateful little mind can't process!
If this still doesn't make sense, good. It's all delusional bullshit where they create strawmen to attack as a means of propping up their own ego and keeping the groupthink alive. It's all about the greater culture war and Us vs Them mentality. If "they" like something, then "we" must mock them for it (and vice versa).
Misery loves company, and they think they're sticking it to "entitled men" by dragging their unwashed asses across something that a predominantly male audience enjoys. They did it with Star Wars, did it with comics, did it with D&D, did it with Ghostbusters. They're the kind of kid who would break your toy if it was nicer than theirs.
Because fans are a smaller minority compared to the audiences they want to captivate. So they make something so generic so they can “please” everybody. But in doing so they just make literally garbage that nobody will remember. But if they actually cared for the fans instead of a fast cash grab. They literally could make a historical Star Wars films that could stand the face of time but no. They think with their other head and choose instant gratification rather than make something artful and just overall good. It’s truly sad.
tbh - you might be surprised how cruel the average person can be if they know they can get away with it. Of course not everyone would act this way, but you might be surprised how many people secretly would thoroughly enjoy ruining someone's day because its about power and feeling important - two things they often lack in everyday interactions.
Because a lot more people in younger generations get a lot of dopamine from seeing other people suffer. They are suffering inside and it makes them feel less alone

This reminds me for my love of the Naboo Starfighter. Pretty sure it was based on old 50's cars, but it still fit into the setting without being absurdly out there.
Yeah! Like obviously you look at "Padme" and see her make-up , you see her fancy ship and obviously the sophisticated looking crazy colour Starfighter fits perfectly!
Exactly! I was so thrown off with everything that happened in the chase scene. The most pointless anticlimactic thing since rise of skywalker
It's been a while but I used to own a book of The Phantom Menace's concept/production art, and from the best of my memory I remember an interview or note from Doug Chiang that said the Naboo Starfighter is a cross between an old 50's hotrod and a fighter plane from WWII. Stuff like that is what makes me love the designs of Star Wars' aesthetics, ships can be sleek and stylish and others can look like a hunk of junk but they both look like they belong in the same universe. It's a shame the same couldn't be said about the original character designs.
The Naboo Starfighter is the perfect example of something that's inspired, and not copied. It has a lot of the elements you'd find in the classic cars that Lucas drew from: sleek curves, sharp edges,, some chrome, and smooth tapered points. Yet, it doesn't look like a car. The design philosophy of old cars is on display, but it still looks like an alien ship, and not like they just took the wheels off a '59 Cadillac DeVille and called it a day.
to me, the sleek design of the Naboo starfighter was an indication that we're not in the original trilogy anymore, we're back in a time when the galaxy was not in constant war or chaos, a time when the force was at balance.
I still don't understand why they didn't just make them a swoop bike gang. Or a pod racer gang. For a company that feeds off the fans nostalgia I'm genuinely surprised they didn't go that route instead. They really thought they were being so clever.
No idea. Star Wars is filled with swoop gangs and such. Why they chose such an out-of-place and jarring style like the Mods is beyond me.
I don’t know. How did they seem out of place, anyway?
Seems to me they thought a half-assed, poorly executed "homage" to American Graffiti would be appreciated and they screwed the pooch hard, in classic modern Disney fashion.
The mods Gang as an idea is totally fine to me, in a world where such tech exists I can totally see it happening. The issue to me was the piss poor design and implementation of it, that just made it look and feel out of place.
I'll be honest, the bike gang was cool and somewhat fits into star wars, when you see a biker gang into shady bussiness, these guys are riding expensive bikes... but yeah... mod gang my ass, inspector gadget had morde modifications than these clowns
For every step forward Disney takes with Star Wars, they take 50 steps backwards. It’s almost impressive how incompetent at every level of development they are.
It’s beyond baffling and rediculous
Blame the education system for churning out individuals that believe in equality of outcome vs equality of opportunity. When you hire talent based on everything BUT talent, you get this schlock and the WORST PART is that they actually think they did a great job!
"For every step forward" .... There has been no step forward.
Its not incompetence its evil
It's not incompetence, they know EXACTLY what they're doing.
I think the reason why Rey's outfits hardly ever changed was because Disney made a deal with Hasbro to make toys off the new trilogy and after The Force Awakens came out, no one was buying the toys, they were flooding the shelves all throughout the whole trilogy that when Rise of Skywalker came out, they were still trying to sell all their Force Awakens toys that were sitting in the clearance bins lol they couldn't afford to make new toys based off the new movies, so they needed to keep trying to market the old toys
What’s hilarious is that the mods are actually not a bad concept… they where just put on the wrong planet.
A gang like that would fit perfect on a planet like Corellia
Kind of like how Disney doesn’t fit with Star Wars!
At least the idea would, the execution would probably need to be different to make it not feel a bit... out of place, but yeah.
yeah, maybe if Boba went to Coruscant and found them kicking ass and decided to bring them in to his crime family.
But they've been like that on tatooine for years? I don't see them being able to survive against such vicious people like the pykes, Jabba's thugs or Tusken raiders.
Yes. A bunch of punk Kids belong To an industrialised world with vast cities, where technology is in ample supply, not in a backwater planet where everything is junk and sand. Lots of sand.

I think part of the problem is that most of the new shows are made inside in a studio. Surely, someone making this show on location in a desert would realize how stupid it would be for characters to willingly replace their body parts with droid pieces. Especially since prolonged exposure to sand has been shown to damage, if not almost completely immobilize them.
@Time Code I would give my right eye for a mod....... because I can barely see out of it LMAO.
But they're posers and mostly lived off their parents (i bet) stolen money from their own blood to afford the parts until found out and now they live alone after being kicked out and still do not want to take responsibility until they're offered a job. Thats the idea background i get from them lol
3po after spending what 12hrs just walking in the desert on Tatooine needed an oil bath else all the sand and grit in his mechanisms would have seized him up. the people making these shows I dont think have even watched the OT. these are cool cyber characters, they look more like extras from Star Trek rescued Borg colony, that just wandered onto a Star Wars set by mistake
you are. the people who produced this probably never left los angeles
This is a nice sentiment, it gives a lot of deference to the notion that some concepts become obvious with context.
But, no. You only have to watch the Bryce Dallas Howard episode versus the Rodriguez episodes to see the difference. I'm not saying it makes it a good show, just that this aesthetic was Rodriguez's intention and vision, and being in the desert wouldn't have changed it one bit. Except for making it more expensive and uncomfortable for the actors.
Lets be absolutely real with one another - The single SMALLEST problem with Disney Star Wars is the sets and CGI. Bad as this chase scene was, I'll take that level of visual quality or worse any day over the absolute butchering of classic characters and this constant hammering of THE MESSAGE as Critical Drinker calls it

Just like traditional North African, Middle Eastern, etc. clothing emphasising loose, flowing material that's more comfortable for the climate instead of insisting on zippers and such for... reasons. Function over form.
Imagine just spitting in the face of people who you could never imitate, people who created a world of wonder with consistent logic behind its lifestyle, who made it work not with the rule of cool but by its sheer wonder and consistency and you now destroy their art as an allegory for your take over of their intellectual property.
It's just being a bully. Ironic, since every time Disney airs an anti-bullying commercial, I lose another blood vessel.
They climbed up onto the shoulders of giants with only one purpose: to take a giant steaming shit on them.
Funny since they owe their cushy jobs that let them live in nice neighborhoods in Southern California because of those artists they are trashing. Parasites
The argument of Luke having a single zipper justifies for these punk rider customs reminds me of when Quintonreviews pointed out that Obi Wan as a ghost sat on a log in Yoda's swamp thus Yoda hitting Luke on the head with a stick in TLJ makes sense.
It's kinda amazing how people can be so accurately nip-picky when it comes to tiny details yet able to brush over giant errors as "haters wanting to hate".
At that rate he could as well have said "the force ghosts did not sink into the ground" or something
Thats what stopped me from commenting to new "Fans" anymore. They dont care and they hate original star wars and real fans because we point out their bullshit.
I've noticed that too. Disney fans will become the embodiment of the "Well, ackshually..." meme to such lengths just to prove how wrong people who dislike Disney's stuff are.
The thing about the modders is, that they wouldn't even have to change much to make it fit. Give them some rusty old speeder bikes and more believable appearence, cut all that wonky stuff from the chase scene and it would have been fine. Some disillusioned youths from a desert shithole where there is no future forming a gang would not have been such a terrible idea, but the way they made it is just cringey. So why are so many people defending this shit? You're not a bad person if you liked it, but it's almost as if these "fans" think every critique is a personal attack on them specifically. Well, maybe Kenobi will deliver...
Sure. It had nothing to do with killing Obi-Wan's Force Ghost in the dark side ending of The Force Unleashed.
These people think that video game logic works for good films. It doesn't. Having said that, I'm going to have to watch The Last Starfighter again.
instead of meeting the competition by making something actually original and good (which is very difficult) they buy the rights and destroy the franchise so they think they dont look as bad, in my eyes everything Disney has implemented isnt cannon because its a hot pile of garbage designed to tear down what makes the original and prequal series so good

I have learned to ignore some of the things in new Star Wars but now that you pointed some of them out I’m really just disappointed in Disney.
I haven't seen the book of Boba so when the mods were first shown I legit thought it was footage from a shitty movie thrown in as a joke by our author. The design clash was so jarring I thought they were from a sci-fi comedy spoof. It took him showing several shots of them for me to realize it was real. What the actual fuck
Is this an example of them hating the people who made Star Wars so much that they even fired everyone competent at making special effects? Bad sign.
@@iansneddon2956 yeah it was so bad. And while we can't, or shouldn't, expect TV shows that have to stretch their smaller budget over more screen time to have CGI and special effects on par with AAA movies, this was not nearly good enough.
Same! And it's disney+, they have all the $! I'm guessing the VFX artists were at the whim of the ridiculous requests of whoever's idea it was to have them looking so shiny, no vfx artist would make those shots without some exec's notes forcing their hand.
I thought basically the same thing. I thought it was from a well made yet cheesy fan production, because for a fan production it would look alright, but official Star Wars production? Friggin terrible, just downright awful.
@@garrondumont7891 Yeah for a fan production it'd be pretty good! Better than most fan made stuff for other media

Disney completely killed Star Wars for me. Thank you and other good youtubers for finding out why.
It's a huge problem that the new Star Wars are about a cheap attempt at milking money. Kenobi series feels like a generic fan film, but long. I tried making some Star Wars fan films myself, but with zero budget and resources it ain't much...
Still more Star Wars than Disney cringe.
The kenobi show was garbage.
This is why Kennedy should've been fired long ago - specifically the moment she broke her promise to George, failing "to preserve [his] characters the way [he] envisioned them"
nicely put
She deserves an outcome much more fitting to her last name.

@@rosesweetcharlotte Jon treads the line but I agree somewhat but Dave Filoni has went about and beyond to keep some of the legacy material still canon. I have nothing but respect for Dave.

Fans hate it, even casual watchers who know little about Star Wars are pushed away by it, I don't get it.

They dont hate marvel, it's their main cash cow, so much so that they try to make ever brand like marvel, like star wars
Their goal is to make the star wars fandom the same as marvel's, as marvel is able to just pump family friendly shit out at a ridiculous rate and earn a lot of money, if they can replicate this with star wars, theyre gonna be swimming in money, the only problem is star wars isnt marvel, the style and story telling completely different, so they have to wipe out the old to replace it with more marvel family friendly happy ending repetitive stuff

@@soaringraven0 not excatly what i meant. I meant the old style, with new ideas that arent foriegn to those who've been fans for years.
You know, when I heard Kathleen's name for Starwars, I was like, "THE Kathleen Kennedy from Patrice's radio show? The one that couldn't stand being wrong on the show and proves Patrice's criticism correct over and over?", and I was quite skeptical about what was about to come for Starwars.
My skepticism has been correct so far.
Ah wtf, never made that connection. I can almost hear her voice in the boardroom all NYEEEAARGH
How she got as far as she has in show business is one of life's greatest mysteries. Spielberg himself said she was terrible at taking notes and gave off bad ideas. My guess is that she has dirt on some very powerful people

Anyone who tries to justify Disney Star Wars needs to watch this. So many good points
It’s all a matter of who the series director is. BoBF was Robert Rodriguez Star Wars, TCW is Dave Filoni Star Wars etc. The only thing I got from BoBF is we should never allow Robert Rodriguez near Star Wars again, it doesn’t mean I’m not hyped for Mando S3 or Kenobi
No point.

@@Xedjithegoblin So you’re saying it’s because of him that tBoBF is getting hated on?
@@nickter745thebold8 he was the series director and the episodes he personally directed (1, 3, and 7) are the ones with the most stupid shit and the only ones I’ve seen people show a lot of criticism towards. So yea, Robert Rodriguez was the problem with BoBF.
Ah yes, the worst part of Disney Star Wars is that they added goth kids on vespas. And apparently that means Disney hates the people that made the first 6 movies.
I work in a concept art studio, and let me tell ya, I see far more striking fresh ideas there than anything I've seen in the modern Disney Star Wars "content".
Lucasfilm has virtually unlimited creative power and budget and THIS is what they choose to do? It's pathetic, really.
It's quite clear that for them, quantity prevails over quality. The (lack of) attention to detail and consistency in the lore is laughable. And don't get me started on the scripts..
The state of our beloved franchises in 2022 is beyond sad...
I've been in debates over how the First Order TIE fighters have hyperdrive. Not only does it not make sense to fit short-range fighters filled with disposable troops with long-ranging capabilities, but there are hardly any visible indications of change from the originals.
You'd expect to see some additional bulk, at the least. Maybe there are some unwieldy-looking sections where new parts were grafted into an older design. Maybe they had to lengthen the cockpit or change the engine design; maybe the wing sections have to be changed to accommodate new weapon configurations or something. Or maybe they had to abandon the TIE Fighter platform and work with Bombers, Advanced, and Interceptor models.
Disney doesn't care enough to think anything through.
The state of our society, really. So many people want to destroy things because they can't think hard enough to figure out why it was there.
@@Azati404 That’s pretty accurate
That's because Disney Star Wars content loves to recycle old concept art from the OT. There's a point where it stops being heart-warming nostalgia bait and it begins to beg the question if the people working on these shows are capable of coming up with new things at all.
“Luke’s flight suit had a zipper!!!”
And it didn’t change the style of the suit to something closer to Earth. It’s still clearly an otherworldly thing. Mod Girl looks like she just strolled out of Hot Topic two minutes ago
I still think the root of the hate is KK, every move she has been a part of has been almost tailor-made to spit on, sabotage, and tear down what Lucas made while wrapping herself tightly in a cloak of being creative with the carte blanch contract she got from Iger. That contract is the only reason she is still around, and her current contract seems to have her under much heavier oversight than before so she doesn't salt the earth on her way out...cause they now KNOW she is petty enough to do it.
The way KK is blamed is basically just a strawman introduced by the same kind of misogynists who were already deeply involved in other incel movements like Gamergate, you know MauLer or Sargon of akkad who were early into the Sequel hate.
She seems to be a more than competent producer, if you just look at the projects she was involved in. Blockbusters like E.T., Jurassic Park, Gremlins, Back to the Future. The people who try to frame her as a hack who got into her position have basically no knowledge about film and no business talking about it, there are probably few producers who can look back at an outstanding career as Kathleen Kennedy. She made mistakes and I would say her biggest mistake was probably just to be much too hands off with the trilogy initially. We know that Rian Johnson was afforded to basically do whatever he wanted without much studio intervention and guidelines. Actually, Johnson admitted that he probably self-censored where he wouldn't have needed to. Which probably would be a great approach in most scenarios, giving the director as much creative liberty as possible and it could even work with traditional Blockbuster sequels which were much more stand alone storys, it just failed in Star Wars where the trilogies are a much more serialized formate relying more on each installment continuing one single narrative. Her mistake was not having one creative lead for the sequel trilogy who holds the rains for each installment, while with the Star Wars TV Shows you have Dave Filoni who is behind every show. I wouldn't even assume that the Sequel era is fully unsalvagable, Filoni and Lucas effectively managed to fix the prequel era through the Clone Wars TV Show which is what most people nowadays associate with the Prequel era, the movies being more meme material than anything else.
The facts don't support your argument. In fact they suggest that Kennedy's success as a producer is the product of working with Spielberg and Lucas. She's clearly pushing an agenda and "woke" concepts into star wars and it's ruining the product. If you read articles or watch interviews she's very hands on. The results speak for themselves. Her movies are the first in the history of the franchise to lose money. And that doesn't even get into other horrible content like the high republic. You can take the nonsense route and blame misogyny if you want. Both men and women have made it clear the product she's put out is trash.
The only successful shows have been the product of favreau and filoni. In which several sources have stated she isn't allowed to interfere with.

I used to still have a tiny bit of hope that just maybe they could make something good. Because I thought the Mandalorian was pretty ok. But the Book of Boba was the final straw for me. I immediately canceled Disney Plus. The show was so bad they would have had to be trying to make it bad. I refuse to watch them destroy my favorite character Obi-Wan.
Same here man, although I didn't cancel Disney Plus (there are other things on there besides Star Wars), but I totally get you. I'm not even going to lie, I actually went into a slight depression when it was announced that Disney was buying Star Wars. Because I already knew they would completely trash it. I nearly walked out on the Force Awakens because it was just so bad. Yet so many people wanted to praise it. I'm just happy that so many people are FINALLY starting to wake up to the fact that Disney is one of the worst possible situations for Star Wars as a franchise. Every single time Disney screws up, it's a win for the originals since it just encourages people to check them out.

@@woolysamoan Yes I concur.

Disney also hates strong female characters since they wiped out Mara Jade, Jaina Solo, and many other strong female characters from the EU, and Allana Solo(Anakin's Great Granddaughter) who had the potential to be one of the strongest female characters in all of Star Wars, but Disney sadly killed her before she could even reach 10 years old.
Nah, it's not that they hate female characters. They did the same for all the EU characters. What they truly hate is paying folk for their work. They would've need to pay royalties to them if they were use those characters.
So what they did was wipe them out, then later on they will mine those stories for ideas. And go ... "Well, we're only inspired by those stories. So we don't need to pay you people at all."
Just you wait, we're going to met a girl with nearly the exact backstory of Mara Jade soon but she'll be called... Duny Scar or something.
Rey was such a strong and capable female that she didn't leave Jakku to look for her parents, even though she new how to repair ships and fly them. She could have offered to be a crew member of a ship and left the planet to search for her parents. I've mentioned this in the past, and people have said, "Well she was waiting for them to return." My response to that was, "Well, if staying there to wait for her parents to return was so important to her, then why did she leave with some strange guy that she just met?"
@@WilliamTheMovieFan She's such a strong female character, that she knows how to do everything with little to no experience.
Knows how to use a lightsaber? Cause she carried a stick.
Knows how to pilot the Millennium Falcon? Cause she explored a destroyed Star Destroyer that apparently still had its flight simulations working. (Nevermind the fact that just because she's good at a simulation, doesn't mean she'd be good with any ship, especially a ship that's not even of the same type/class.)
Knows how to sail across an ocean with monstrous waves because...sure, that makes sense for a character who lived on a desert planet for most their life.
@@deterlanglytone That seems to be true for everybody except Timothy Zahn, who managed to get Thrawn canonized but practically none of his other characters, including Mara. He's one of the few authors in the old EU to still have regular work with SW; most of the others saw the writing on the wall and split with their artistic integrity intact.
This is a ass-pull when lucas was going to do the same.
I feel like had they went more cyberpunk with the mods, they would have been way more interesting as well as somewhat fitting within the theme intended for the original trilogy. Instead, Disney made them a gang of brats, which was a very unfortunate distraction for the series.
Back in 2012 I thought Disney buying Star Wars would lead to great things. Boy was I wrong. So, so wrong. Disney has done nothing but kill any and all future interest for me with this franchise.

I remember reading something years ago about the craftsmen who built the sets for Star Wars, all shiny and sci-fi. Then they were told to beat them up and make them look dirty and lived-in. They were disappointed to have to tarnish things up, but ultimately satisfied with the end product. Up until then, most science-fiction had been sterile and therefore unrelatable. Even Star Trek, which touched on social issues of the time, was a Utopian fantasy.
There were two things that I hated the most, and that was A: The fact that Boba Fett was made a side character in the show that was supposed to be about him after like, the third or fourth episode I think, having to have his hand held by his entourage and having no respect on a planet that he was infamous on in the OG series. And then, B: The show becoming a continuation of The Mandalorian halfway through because they couldn't be fucked to give Boba more of a story that didn't rely on the Mando swooping in to save the day. Don't get me wrong, I liked The Mandalorian and I adore Grogu, but they literally have their own show. There was no reason for them to come in and hijack this one, it was very annoying.
Remember when you were excited for the sale of Star Wars to Disney because they could leverage their talent to put out quality products?
Don't feel too bad. Everyone is stupid when their young.
To be fair, the MCU was a few years in at the time Star Wars was bought and doing well. Disney buying Pixar hadn't done anything to kill its quality yet either. Disney making crowd-pleasing movies was expected so they couldn't do wrong with Star Wars, right?
At the time I naively said to my friends “guys, just think, someone BESIDES George Lucas is going to get to make a Star Wars movie!”
I am not too proud to admit that I was wrong. Time makes fools of us all. Seeing what Star Wars has become, that excitement turned to ashes in my mouth as I walked out of the theater after suffering through The Last Jedi.
My first thought when I heard about this was Darth Vader singing in Disney style and I hoped oh God please nooo.
No. I never remember feeling like that. If you felt like that you're an idiot and hopefully the experience has taught you some valuable wisdom.
Got to love these kinds of people, they do everything to go out of their way to disrespect and antagonize not only the fans but the people who work on star wars only to complain about how toxic the fandom is when real fans start complaining.
yeah a lot of these channels including Robot Head are quite toxic and negative towards star wars especially when it comes to things that are considered to be good, but the criticism towards Book of Boba are all true, also lots of the problems with star wars today comes from the higher ups at Disney because all decisions go through them if they don't like it they scrap it, thats what happened with a lot of Rebels, somewhat with the Sequels and with a few parts form Mandalorian and I'm pretty sure is what happened here with Book of Boba, however I know that Star Wars is still really good and can be better all we have to do is get the higher ups who don't care about this franchise fired, also if something with the franchise is really bad we need to talk about it they might listen eventually

It's been well documented by people such as ItchyBacca from DisneyStarWarsisDumb for several years now. Emboldened by being backed by almost infinite corporate money and riding on the waves of the trends making their way into mainstream media, journalists, writers and corporate employees ran off their mouths on social media taking jabs at long existing franchises and their fanbases calling them outdated, not as good as they were and in dire need of a makeover which the content that they pushed for gladly provided.
Lucas is good
In a corporation, massaging rear ends with tongues are important. Fans, especially male, generally don' t do it. Even Lucas who was worshipped, got criticised for his decisions. The people who made the films disliked having to hear people complaining about its quality, that' s my idea. Lucas, too, but he had the courage to try to make his film his ways all the way.
@@Account.for.Comment Lucas had a vision and he went through with it. That's why we love the Star Wars he created. It was the same with Lord of the Rings. Peter Jackson had a vision and he went through with it. There are way too many contemporary modern concepts (like politics and cultural memes) shoehorned into filmmaking today and that's why everything just sucks. That's how we know Amazon's LOTR will suck before it even comes out.
@@whitegoose2017 When Lucas made SW, people challenged him all the time. The final version is not his original one. Harrison Ford even said " you can type it, you can' t say it". In ESB, the director and cast even snubbed him by changing some lines to better ones ie. " I Know". George kept it in. By the time he made the prequels, he was worshipped. Even before it was released, In PM, George admitted that "he went too far in a few places". Many fans criticised it. It is a personal for him, he cared about his works. He had his ego but he let slides to see it become better. The movies address the criticisms but staying true to what he believed the story to be, a story of a father and son. Luke was Lucas, not wanting to become a businessman like his father, and Anakin was Lucas ending up a businessman anyway. I don' t imagine this, Lucas said this.
Disney just wanted money. Star Wars is a lifestyle where people can brag they belonged to. They want to sell geek culture. They put progressive politics in to shield themselves from criticisms. While Lucas was trying to make story that always resonates as he was an anthropology major, Disney was chasing any fad. That' it. If feminine housewives are the most respected profession today, Rey would be a chef.
The reason Disney made such a low end sequel trilogy that was unfaithful to the original story line is that Disney was ALWAYS jealous of Lucas' success. Back in the day when George Lucas was looking for a studio to pick up the project, Disney was one of the ones visited that rejected his proposal. 20th Century Fox was the only studio that was willing to take a chance. When the franchise took off and had all the box office and merchandising sales, Disney was pissed that they missed the opportunity. There is a rumor that the person who made the decision to turn down Lucas was forced to quit several years later when Empire was released. Now that Disney has swallowed up Fox and bought out the franchise from Lucasfilm, They tried to destroy the franchise..They started by rejecting 30 years of novels and dictating what was and was not canon, despite what the fanbase said. It appears that the fans have stood up to Disney after the Force Awakens trilogy, and they would rather make a buck giving the fans what they want.
Damn dis nigga spittin
Fax
Sure they may have the right to decide what is and what is not canon, but they did a piss poor job at it. That's how blinded by jealousy and hatred they are.
How naive are you? You really think Disney dropped 4 Billion with the sole intention of running it into the ground?
I agree it’s nothing special anymore, and Disney really dropped the ball, but to assume that they did it INTENTIONALLY out of JEALOUSY is just ludicrously removed from reality.
Disney is a massive multi media conglomerate, they are trying to turn a profit. Just because you only enjoy fiction with defined good and evil doesn’t mean that’s how the real world works. Trust me, there’s not evil emperor sitting at the top cackling to himself about he finally got one over on George.
They also hate how he went north, beyond their ability to exploit the franchise but eventually talked him into slowly incorporating rides into Disneyland, and how they treated characters like Luke once they bought him out tells the whole story... it was a deliberate billion dollar sabotage.

“Star Wars has turned into a piñata…” is the best analogy I’ve heard. It is absolutely perfect.
The whole video was great, but yeah that one analogy is so simple yet completely true. It really rung with me as well

Thanks Brian. Greatly appreciated. Cheers 👍
I’ll just say, it’s great to see more creators shedding light on just how awful and out of place the Mod characters were. There was ZERO point to them. There’s 10 different ways you could have replaced them and simply doing so would have elevated the series. They were THAT bad. It was the worst Robert Rodriguez has done and reeked of Kathleen Kennedy and her awful influence on the franchise.
Those who attack us for being toxic never explain themselves as deep as this. We have proof and sane people to dig up the evidence of the horrendous job Disney has done to the Franchise
Hell, Disney even ruined their own new characters.
But you are also toxic.
You are toxic, whiney fanboys. You're the worst part of SW.

@@tysondance7476 are you?
@@tysondance7476 Ease off on the kid. I know what he meant: Back when one of the BIG topics was Star Wars and you basically had everyone quoting even the then ATROCIOUS Prequel Trilogy (because back then, we were blessed with ignorance of how much worse it could get) and even with said Prequels we still would talk about the series. There were games abound and actual books people can read and enjoy! Some flops but nothing that sours the entire experience, nor was there anything that directly pissed on Anakin's role in things (Bad as Dark Empire was, the Skywalkers were in the thick of it and I feel it was ultimately superior to what the Sequels did). Jedi were powerful but also had their own flaws and there wasn't some 'I am all of the Jedi' mary sue bullshit. Correct me if I am wrong.
I was born in 93 so I missed the initial hype of the Original Trilogy and did not appreciate the copies me and the family had back then. Hell I didn't really pay much attention to Phantom Menace but I KNEW OF STAR WARS. And I knew of it as something genuinely cool, I got to watch Star Wars Clone Wars and enjoyed the animation by Gendy Tartakovsky and the rather excellent storytelling, I saw Revenge of the Sirh and loved it while understanding the underlying tragedy of it. Then I saw The Force Awakens and my enthusiasm was damaged some but, I figured, it could get better maybe and hey! Rogue One was decent (and became great at the end)...Then The Last Jedi came out and I was initially the same as all those fucking idiots who blindly praised it because Star Wars (Phantom Menace had a good opening Box Office before peeps realized it was not great) and tried to justify things in my head. Eventually I came to my senses and I grew to just...not care.
@@boxtank5288 I was born in 88’, I totally agree, and yeah, I’ve stopped caring, too.🤷♂️😁
@@boxtank5288 Once you stop gawking at the shine and polish you start to realise the sequel trilogy offers nothing and leaves the galaxy right where it was at the end of ROTJ.

The mods were a cool concept with a relatively interesting source material. The problem was that they leaned way too heavily on that source material and didn't bend it at all for its integration in Star Wars. Real life Mods were extremely similar to the ones we see in BoBF including their speeders, modified Vespa's with extremely colorful paint and an excessive number of mirrors, ergo slow bright and obnoxious. That inspiration is interesting to say the least but the world of Tatooine itself, its rules and environments and the laws of the Star Wars universe should've directly been reflected in their actions and outfits. Examples such as the Mods (who are supposedly a poorer class of Tatooine citizen) should be using primarily old junky droid and cybernetic parts which they go through painstaking effort to "pretty up". Their bikes as well could be explained to be slower like the irl Mods if they were visibly lower class speeders that they just slapped a bunch of cosmetics on, and this obsession with keeping things shiny and clean looking should also reflect Tatooines environment. Show a couple of the mods getting annoyed or pissy that their paint job got messed up or a bunch of sand and dust got in their components and show them being fussy over these sorts of things. If you want to have something stand apart in an environment it should not belong you have to establish a reason for it. Since they're primarily a city bound group their outfits don't have to be desert survivor worthy like previous entries but they should at least reflect the nature of sand which as we all know is course rough and gets everywhere
I think they were misplaced on tatooine, might have fit better to the streets of corellia or courusant. in E1 we see a lot of people, dressed fancy for the bunta eve race, right? so This shoudl have been the standard for a "city-street gang". The chase was very cartoonishly imagined.
I think it would have lookd better if they went for your idea with the rough cobbled-together speeders.
you forgot irritating
It's a terrible idea, a blatant rip-off that doesn't even come close to an homage, and has absolutely no place in any Star Wars setting. What lunatic thought this was a good idea and implemented in such a bizarrely dumb fashion.
I can’t imagine Disney Star Wars getting any worse than it already is, but Disney finds a way
Yep. This has been the most intriguing thing to me. It's kind of amazing, really.
Same. It’s astonishing
Please stop ruining my beloved characters Disney.
Hilariously, the Comics had Cyborgs that added weapons and shit into their modifications.
One of my favorite examples is from Dark Empire, where Luke finds a Jedi who survived Order 66 and the Empire whose body was mangled so badly the people of the planet he hid on had to modify them with the strange but weirdly effective tech to the point he was more machine than man, he floated above the ground and his arm had a large built in lightsaber.
A Lightsaber. Built into his fucking arm. Like a fucking retractable Katar, so his saber style is already altered and thus makes his attacks more unpredictable.
Empatojayos Brand was so fucking cool.
Jedi: Fallen Order had the Haxion Brood, who were a criminal organization who augmented their bounty hunters with droid parts, probably from all the military driods that were scrapped after the CIS defeat. Their designs are pretty cool.
hard asf
Luke finds a Jedi who survived Order 66...in Dark Empire...Empire's End...um...
No, that was the Purge, back then. Order 66 hadn't been invented. I thought his design was reminiscent of the torture droid, or whatever you call it. This was back when cyborgs were terrifying and unnatural. Heck, even droids were understood so little in real life, and in the Star Wars galaxy, it was a complete shock when someone installed bombs and blew up the Senate chamber with droids in The New Rebellion.
Swtor does that as well though not to that extreme. (Probably partially due to gameplay). Cyborgs are a species yeah. But there’s armors that make you look almost like a combat droid. And a LOT of enemies that are specifically said to be enhanced via cybernetics in obvious ways like strength or speed.
The fact they managed to give them nearly useless cybernetics when that was basically their whole gimick is rather sad.
@@firstnamelastname9237 never got into that game just because its an MMO. is it able to be played like a single player game?
Lucas made such a mistake selling Star Wars to Disney, and he knows it.
Your right, he has problems sleeping with $4bn in his checking account
he also now has to deal with seeing his amazing franchise turned into a complete shit show. watch his loyal fan base leave
He sold it so the hundreds of people working at Lucas Film still had a secure career even after he retired. As long as Disney doesn't do any mass layoffs it was still worth it for Lucas. But with the way they're stomping the franchise into the ground, maybe that might change in the near future...
@@dixieflatline1189 he could've made more than that if he had his head screwed on right and not surrounded himself with yes men 😒
@@leftyfourguns He didnt have to sell it to fucking Disney, he called them white slavers right after he sold it because he knew they would destroy it all... Also Disney didnt honor his agreements with him, they tossed away all of his original ideas and replaced many of the ppl at Lucasfilm with hacks and ideologues, There were so many alternatives he could have went with that didnt involve selling the fucking company or handing it to one of the worst coporations in America.
My problem with the Mods is, that improve yourself with droid parts that work sh*t isnt very impressive in a world where people like General Grievous and Darth Vader exist.
I knew a guy in college with a small compact car. The hood looked like it was about to fall off, and the whole thing was covered in bird droppings.
It was all a ruse, however, because he had a high-performance engine under the hood, and a banging sound system in it, too!
The bad surface looks was just to deter car thieves, making them think his car wasn't worth stealing!
Lol, that's nice, but car thieves will steal anything. Had our family minivan stolen from the front of our house - and it was a beat up, dinky old thing. But they still stole it.
very random but ok :)
Ah, hiding in plain sight. I love it!

@@alexboyer9337 that would still be a better episode than most of the crap they've spewed out 😂
There's something very disjointed in the storytelling about the Mods. Were they only there to explain the ease of body modifications in their world to make Shand's robo-belly easily explained and acceptable? Was there a more important narrative plan for them until Disney decided to shoehorn in The Mandalorian into the series?
Very likely.
I personally have no issue with the mods existing in the Star Wars universe (for example, I could see them up to no good in the lower levels of Coruscant); but I DO have an issue with them being on Tatooine. Like when I saw them all I could think was “what, did your parents drop you off here until you straighten up? ‘I’m warning you, missy: one more modification and I’m shipping you to Tatooine!’”
@@rivendells_shona When they said cyber characters, I though it was gonna be something like general grevious, all rustic and made of scrap and droid parts. That would have fit slot more with the look of tatooine imo

@@rivendells_shona that’s just it. They might fit in alright on some other planet, but they are too clean for tatooine.
As someone who knows how studios work, the lack of vision and cohesion is what happens when your CEO is an incredible producer, but not a businesswoman.
Usually studio heads delegate down to a team of producers, who find incredible writers, to follow the vision set forward (think Marvel's phases or how A24 does high concept indie films), what does Lucasfilm do? Throw everything at the wall.
Marvel and A24 are not a good bar, Jesus Christ, man.
Yeah but theyre the best examples for people not in the industry. @@vierzwanzigen9722
The disrespect towards the Star Wars franchise is what Hollywood has wanted to do all along. Since the beginning, Lucas avoided Hollywood at all costs when he made Star Wars. Hollywood stereotyped and ridiculed the fanbase as much as possible in response. Now that those corporate creeps have the franchise in their hands, they’re doing what they’ve always dreamed of, destroying the franchise from the inside out slowly and publicly.
To me the care and love for a franchise can be seen in how consistent and well told the stories are. There's plenty of inconsistencies in Book of Mandofedd but the Modds take the cake. We first hear how expensive it is to mod yourself, then we hear these guys have been stealing water to survive while they have a bunch of body mods and souped up scooters.
The only people who are a fan of the new Star Wars like it solely for the "representation" and "diversity" it has. Unfortunately they dont understand what bad representation is. Finn is a great example, a black man as a lead character and a turncoat Stormtrooper to boot, you can do so much with that! Nope he's a comic relief character and about a quarter of his dialogue is *REEEEY* while he shoots his fellow Stormtroopers in the face laughing. He tells us these are brainwashed children who need to be re-educated to remain Stormtroopers! The entire Finn storyline should have been about wether or not murdering every Stormtrooper is a good idea and how/if they deserve a second chance or not.
Hell, Finn would've been a better protagonist than Rey taking this points into consideration.
That's one of the things I didn't like about Finn. His entire story arc should have absolutely been about dealing with not just PTSD from the fight that broke his brain-washing but also trying to live with the conditioning that still remained. Such as the fight at Maz's castle. The instant Han, Chewie and Finn ran into that first group of Stormtroopers, Finn should have dropped them without even trying; just pure reflex reaction. Han gives him a "Nice shooting" while Finn just looks down at the blaster like he has no idea what just happened but then later when he actually tries to aim and shoot he starts shaking because he's beginning to have flashbacks to the fight on Jakku. Instead we get bait and switched about him being the new Jedi.
I honestly hoped that Finn would be the lead character - non-Force-sensitive stormtrooper defector? Lots of potential, but NOOOO, they HAD to go with the Jedi Mary Sue.
Yeah, I remember thinking 'wtf happened to finn? His character seemed like it could be so much more developed, then they just shove him aside to focus on Rey, a largely forgettable and bland character. Finn would've been 100x more interesting.
Finn should have been the Main Character absofuckinlutely. Hell you could still have him be a Jedi if you tweak his backstory a little.
Some of your best work right here Robot Head. Nearly snorted out coffee laughing in numerous places. This video is hilarious yet depressing at the same time to see how these new hacks are destroying our once beloved franchise.
