Redfalls team is done for sure.
which is wild, because there's clearly a lot of talent there that was just spunked up the wall trying to create a game that any idiot could see right from the outset was conceptually awful

You really don’t have to keep attacking me you know?
buddy i literally just took what you said and changed a few words around. if it feels like attacking you then maybe do some self reflection?
where have i attacked you?
So is Traveller TTRPG, or Babylon Five, Warhammer 40K, etc., etc.
put literally anything from 40k next to literally anything from star wars and it becomes painfully obvious that they're two distinct properties
you're aware 40k essentially also has the force too, right? i'm not sure what point you're trying to make here
I’m talking the unique points of the world building/lore.
what unique points?
jedi are reskinned samurai, and the force is just a reskinned magic system combined with reskinned buddhism
then why not watch one of the many other options with jedi?
the eu is filled with stories that aren't about jedi or the force
so yeah, you're picking and choosing what counts based on your personal vibes
Just because you declare it as arbitrary doesn’t mean it’s actually arbitrary.
either you're defining star wars by the films, or you're picking and choosing what really "counts"
you're doing the latter
I guess I’ve just seen more movies than you
I guess you just don't really understand Star Wars as well as you think you do 🤷♂️
it's an aesthetic and a setting
if you define it as a narrative you can't step outside the first three films
Rogue One at times feels more like Star Wars than the original trilogy, and doesn't have a single Jedi in it.
Your measurement for what counts as "Star Wars" seems pretty arbitrary. 4 would be essentially the same movie even without the presence of any Jedi.
if where you draw the line on what counts as integral to a narrative is that arbitrary, why not just toss jedi too?
pop it on the list
A retcon would be “actually Snoke isn’t the main villain, he’s just a clone created by Palpatine.”
by the logic you're using, that still wouldn't be a retcon, because it would've been the intention the entire time
i'm also stunned you think anything about "he turns the lightsaber to face his TRUE ENEMY" was well handled
if for some reason you believe it's impossible for a film to retcon things, why not just save us both some time by opening with that, rather than having this pointless little back and forth?
it's a really weird time to argue for death of the author when we're talking more or less specifically about directorial intent and we have the interviews from people involved
it's also kind of weird to argue for death of the author while also insisting the emperor was only established in 5, when he's mentioned multiple times in 4
It’s impossible for 8 to have undercut 7’s core themes, because 7 doesn’t have any.
i'm not sure i'm the salty one here
shows what you guys know
i met a girl through her bio last week and it turns out we're so compatible we have the same social security number, birthday and mother's maiden name
