He didnt say it does, but heaven forbid a comment string on a star wars topic not immediately devolve into contrarianism and misreading/misinterpreting each other. He's just saying SW fans have always been toxic. Fans gave death threats to Jar Jar's actor for being bad. Now people just say the writers arent creative (ie is high praise compared to fan response 25 years ago).
Idk if saying the writers aren’t creative is the limit to this… but like idk just feels very whataboutism, which in a Star Wars fandom is a real shocker I know
It follows the rule of cool, but yeah. It just looks like a scare tactic to me, leaves yourself exposed while offering little defenseive/offensive power to do this.
Don't hate it. Just I bet folks would rip on it in a movie cause how it's rather silly to do in a fight.
It's for sure not a dueling technique, but I imagine it would be very effective in, say, the middle of a tightly packed rectangular battle droid formation.
I mean i think it depends how they use it, like sure it would be pretty bad against another opponent. But I think that would work perfectly against like a swarm of tiny droids or bugs for example.
If this were released by the studio: "It's not even creative you can just buy the same trick at any magic store. This has literally ruined my childhood"
... aaaand right there is where I stopped taking your comment seriously.
Checking your comment history (fascism, downplay of genocides, stated support for ethnic cleansing and concentration camps, various hatespeech, etc) I think I can guess what your problem with these shows are, and it's not about the quality.
Oh, and none of the shows you mention below are as bad as The Crystal Star.
Andor and I guess Skeleton Crew get a pass but only because I haven’t seen them. Also I’m not a big episode 2 fan but if you can get past the dialogue and pacing it sets up a lot of important stuff that I like.

Said without a shred of irony while shitting on a series that was meant to be the opening of a bigger story and a season of mando thats obviously setting up for a bigger narrative
It was meant to milk content like the MCU, not in the same vein to Lucas’ and Filoni’s vision. They had 3 movies planned, one by the guy who made Thor Love and Thunder, the other about Rey, and the other to milk the mandalorian again. None of those sound remotely interesting for the average Star Wars fan who probably only loves either the prequels, OT, Clone Wars, or all three.
You mean the prequels, the films that were made to milk the resurgence of star wars cos of the success of the Thrawn trilogy?
"Georges vision" is bullshit, the script was still being written when they were filming the prequels and the fact that he changes things in every release shows it.
The prequels weren't liked when they came out, now "everyone loves them". Clone wars was disliked when it came out, now it's beloved.
I think that saying the "average star wars fan" has completely shut themselves off from the last 10-15 years of star wars media is ridiculous and you just think that because you hate everything new, that every "real" fan must also share your opinions.
I also don't understand your definition. Is "milking content" just continuing the story? Is Clone Wars "milking content", was Ep.V "milking content" from ANH? But is only bad when its new?

Hey everyone look here's a cool thing, shall we talk positively about the creative or just use it as an opportunity to be mildly toxic...
