My rant sounds like I'm racist and in the 90s it wouldn't have been a big deal but the amount of social justice injections they've had into the franchise has made it hard to watch. Especially when you know Kathleen Kennedy is behind it.

Totally agree.

As much as I never expected to hear myself say it, I'm tired of having so many vaginas shoved in my face.

As far as the Star Wars universe is concerned I'm pretty much colour blind. So many aliens and rainbow skinned humans running around it seems a pointless to get russled about a certain shade of skin.

Shit writing on the other hand should be singled out and ridiculed at every possible opportunity.
no problems with black whatever as long as its organic with the story and not something thats highlighted for virtue points. Mace Windu they did right. nobody cared about his skin color, he was just one of the Jedi who were all different, kinda sad he was a pointless and boring character overall because George wrote pointless and boring characters in the prequels.

It's the hold my beer aspect of it that gets to you. George was already woke since the 70's.

The whole "shit, we gotta outdo what the last generation did" hold my beer is what ruins the writing. They got beat to the woke and can't stomach it. The bar to get woke props just kept getting higher. Guys like Rian Johnson are quick to meet the new bar.

As well as refusing to give notes to Hayden Christensen or any of his lead actors during production.

"It's just a movie" was George's favorite line.

Are we getting a small depiction of Coruscant in this? Just watched the trailer again, seems like it's possible.

Brave for Disney.

LoL, so many are so sour after getting kicked in the jims by Disney on Star Wars stuff lately, that even a beloved figure like Kenobi and a long awaited return like this is meh before it even drops.

Oh how the mightiest has fallen!

If this is more cookie cutter refuse, wouldn't it be the nail in the coffin? Are ALL bets riding on this one??? We'll see!

Are you unaware of how much money Grogu has to be printing? there are no nails anywhere near this coffin. put Baby Yoda in it, print money. ez. Mando will be back in the fall and the money printers will be back on.

Plus I imagine most Clone Wars/Rebels fans are still waiting for the Asoka series, plus more Bad Batch.

Baby Yoda cant save this IP. its only delaying the inevitable. there is nothing new or exciting outside of Baby Yoda and how many Baby Yodas can one person have before they dont care anymore?

Not even close. So many soyboys love this shit. Most people I know loved Mando and Boba Fett. Grogu just prints money too.

Baby yoda is what attacts females to this genre. Its not strong hero women like they pretend it to be (Rey). Women dont relate to strong kick ass hero females. Thats a mans fantasy. So all they are doing is supplanting a female into a male role thinking that females will gush all over this bullshit but in fact they dont. But bring out a baby yoda and all of a sudden the females swoon.

I'm curious how Obi-Wan using the force will work in this. I always felt like any kind of usage was detectable or at least perceptible by Vader and the Emperor

Every woman I know that saw Star Wars absolutely loathed Rey. She is unrelatable and they think the Mary Sue thing is cringe.

Rey gets a bad reaction from women across the board. No charisma.

Like I said non relatable characters. Not only in this movie but you see this across vast movies and TV shows. Somehow a hero woman is supposed to be relatable to females. Again thats a male fantasy. Females fantasize about different shit altogether, see hallmark channel, lol.

Anyone recommend a good source for a Mandalorian Helmet? Was checking out amazon and there were some shady chinese brands on there. I want it to wear around in public.

Why does lead bitch have to be a black female wielding a red lightsaber (why is she even wielding it)? How far are they willing to go? lol.
I'm cool with it as long as she gets wrecked by Obi-Wan just like any of the inquisitors would, whether he has a lightsaber or not.

Obi-Wan is the only reason I'm watching this. I know I will be disappointed but he is the 4th most powerful force user in the known galaxy at this point (Palps, Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan).

If you're willing to put in a bit of work there's quite a few EVA foam templates out there for helmets. Results may vary based on your skill and painting but you'll probably enjoy wearing it more than just a mail order chinese one.
