This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So, apparently Star Wars is officially dead.  Who would have thought, considering the "diverse" cast, director, and showrunners, that the series would be so poorly done.  It's sitting on a 30% audience score right now.  Shocking!

Bwwwaaaaaa...hahahahahaha...!

This show deserves the complete non-attention it's going to generate.
Even the outrage bait is old and tired at this point.

Blah blah balance blah blah female blah blah fuck whitey blah.

We all knew that it would be exactly what it was. You have to at least give Disney props for not doing another bait-and-switch.

I'm sitting this one out. Cancelled my Diznay Ploos subscription last year and my enthusiasm for Star Wars just ain't sufficient to spend the money anymore.

Fuggit, I say.

I have a Disney+/Hulu subscription so I could watch it any time I want.  I haven't bothered.

I mean, pirating stuff still means time and bandwith and disk space, I rather use that on stuff I can still laugh at how bad it is...

If only I could find that Italian "horror" movie (La Mansión cerca del Cementerio in Spanish)

I watched the first two episodes. The characters are not as bad as some are making them out to be, but they do make some terribly stupid decisions and the writing is weak. I have mixed feelings about the look of the costumes, sets, and effects--some are very Star Wars-y and some look very not-Star Wars-y to me. I don't think it's a great show, but I don't think it deserves the level of hate many seem to want to dump on it.

I haven't even watched it yet. My family used to like Star Wars on Disney+ but we've lost interest.

Also, the third episode revelation is just another predictable one-upping of past star wars. "Nope, Anakin wasn't the first immaculate conception, it was this strong female character!"

At that point, why not just make immaculate conception a routine thing, rather than special? The jedi and sith have existed for hundreds of thousands of years, so it actually makes more sense if immaculate conception happens all the time. I mean, we can get very close right now using our inferior technology. We have artificial insemination and we're developing the means to create gametes from stem cells, so in the near future it would be feasible for a woman to get pregnant using a test tube zygote created using the chromosomes from two women without a man ever being involved at any point in the process.

Eh, there was hints in the books that Yoda might be another creation of the Force.

Virginal conception/birth, not Immaculate Conception. :)
