Latest on the Star Wars television show

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

Code: Select all

It's going to suck balls, and you'll all be so disappointed, you'll throw away your little plastic Star Wars men.

This isn't news. I've assumed it was going to suck since I first heard about the idea. Didn't you see the prequels?

I threw away my little Star Wars men after I couldn't find the fuckin' FAN FAVORITE figure because it was fuckin' shortpacked.

And Lucas has piled more douchebaggery on the pile since then. What a douche.

Yep, I must concur.... there's no possible way it won't suck. What a drag.




I am still going to cling to some hope that it doesn't suck though, just because I can. :?

If a show like Firefly can be that good, then there's at least some hope for Star Wars.

Granted, Firefly has really good writers, but still...

Firefly's a fucking crazy-ass Vietnamese ninja with a hard-on for dynamite, man. Any show that shares his name has to be good, or he'll blow up the entire fucking state that it's filmed in.

Oh, and I heard Patricia Heaton will be playing the role of Mon Mothma.

Patricia Heaton is a vicious bitch. I loathe her.

If she's in Star Wars, it will monumentally suck siding off a house.

So is this not getting made anymore? They are instead doing two tv movies? How do you go from potentially a hundred hours of screen story down to less than four?

There's a poster at starwars.com of the characters from the CGI series. They look like shit.

That was a misquote. Sansweet cleared it up.

Long story short...no new movies but there will be 2, hour long, TV shows. We knew about them already.

So instead of sitting through a 2 hour suck-fest, you get to sit through two 1-hour suck-fests.

Not sure, but I'm willing to bet that none of Firefly's writers were named George Lucas. I saw the Firefly movie recently. It seemed pretty good. How was the TV show?

I thought the tv show was tons better than the movie. But, I did see the movie first and initially hated it (until I saw the show) because I didn't really get all of what was going on.

The show was infinitely better than the movie. The movie rocked good and hard, but the show was even better.


So, basically it was the exact opposite of the Star Wars franchise. The movies were good to mediocre, and the show will drip donkey cum off its chin.

starwars.com has a trailer. You have to have the most absolutely latest version of Flash. Meaning if you downloaded it yesterday, it's obsolete. Of course, the site doesn't tell you that anywhere. Fucking typical Lucasian halfassedness.

Show's gonna blow. The characters are really abstract, which is fine, except the backgrounds, vehicles, and droids are photorealistic. The two styles just don't work together. It's a mess. Oh, and they're based on Genndy's designs, but fucked with just enough so they could claim they're not.

Storywise, shit. Asajj has fucking died and come back three fucking times already. And she appears to be the main villain. Chances are she'll supposedly be dead at the end of every episode, only to come back and prove that the rumors of her demise were greatly mistaken. God damn, she should join the fucking X-Men.

Same with Dooku. If Anakin and Dooku keep pointing their dicks at each other, there's no sense whatsoever in the beginning of ROTS. They had a few near-misses in the books, and once Dooku escaped only after springing a trap on them. But Anakin fights him every fucking morning in the games, and again here. Maybe the dialogue should be changed to, "Your skills have grown since last we met, a week ago at the IHOP on Dantooine." "No, Dooku! That was two weeks ago! Last week was at Baby Gap on Kessel." "My Padawan, you both forget that you also faced off just yesterday, when there was a mixup at the Motel 6 and they booked us all in the same room!"

Fuck, Lucas can't accept that he no longer can tell a story and that Genndy Tartakovsky is currently better than he is. He has to try to do the toon himself, because he's a fucktard.

Snigtad, your uncle's real name isn't Rodger. It's George Lucas.
