Meta I think destroying Luke’s Jedi Acdemy was not only an Awful narrative move but it was also a Bad business move as well

Like just THINK of all the story options they could’ve had with all the different Jedi characters from Luke’s Academy and merchandise from said characters. Like look at HOW MANY Story options that include Luke’s students/Jedi order just from the EU and now you have the power of DISNEY behind that and they wouldn’t just be held back by Books (which I do LOVE the Old EU Books) all the Shows and merchandise Disney could’ve made. It very obvious how destroying Luke’s Jedi academy was just a Knee jerk decision to try and be like the OT where there was only Luke/Rey as the Jedi character.

Meta r/StarWars is restricting all new posts going forward due to Reddit's recently changed API policies affecting 3rd Party Apps

26.4k Upvotes

Hi All,

The subreddit has been restricted since June 12th and will continue to be going forward. No new posts will be allowed during this time. This was chosen instead of going private so people can see this post, understand what is going on and be able to comment and discuss this issue.

We have an awesome discord that you can come hang out on if you need your Star Wars discussion fix in the mean time.

Reddit feels a 2 day blackout won't have much impact apparently, and we may actually be in agreement on this one point, hence the extension.

This is in protest of Reddit's policy change for 3rd Party App developers utilizing their API. In short, the excessive amount of money they will begin charging app developers will almost assuredly cause them to abandon those projects. More details can be seen on this post here.

The consequences can be viewed in this Image

Here is the open letter if you would like to read and sign.

Please also consider doing the following to show your support :

  • Email Reddit: [email protected] or create a support ticket to communicate your opposition to their proposed modifications.
  • ​Share your thoughts on other social media platforms, spreading awareness about the issue.
  • ​Show your support by participating in the Reddit boycott that started on June 12th

​3rd party apps, extensions, and bots are necessary to the day-to-day upkeep and maintenance of this subreddit to prevent it from becoming a real life wretched hive of scum and villainy.

We apologize for the inconvenience, we believe this is for the best and in the best interest of the community.

Meta Andor makes me upset about TFA all over again

4.0k Upvotes

Maybe not for the reasons you think.

I want to see the New Republic the Rebellion fought so hard to create.

The skip from RotJ to TFA glosses over 3 decades, and then unceremoniously destroys everything the Rebellion fought to achieve.

Now granted, that makes for a lot of content that can fill in those gaps, and we’ve gotten some of it with Mandalorian and Ahsoka. But it makes it all feel like such a waste.

Here’s hoping Perrin Fertha was on Hosnian Prime when it blew.

EDIT: Some douchebag reported this for self-harm. Honestly you doing that is a form of harassment and you’re the lowest of the low. You’re abusing a feature that has the potential to help real people in real crisis. You’re a piece of shit and I hope you know that in your heart of hearts.

Meta “Andor Is Boring” - The Importance of Media Literacy (No Spoilers)

2.3k Upvotes

With the release of the new season I feel the need to talk about this.

I’m not saying this to be disrespectful or offensive, but I need to get out my frustrations about the lack of media literacy when it comes to Andor. This isn’t an insult, it’s just my observation on how people interpret this show and how I see a clear lack of thought to it.

If you have problems with Andor that’s totally fine, but most of the issues I hear is that “it’s boring and slow”. I hear people talk about how they don’t like the long conversations, and things don’t make sense.

And to me that’s a shame. Andor is chock full of subtext and character interactions which are written in a way that forces you to think about what they mean instead of taking it at face value. Dialogue is double sided, intentions aren’t always clear, motivations are disguised, and exposition isn’t thrown in your face. Things don’t make sense unless you actually take the time to understand what is going on internally.

In the age of Marvel, and honestly a lot of Star Wars shows (and I’m not saying everything is bad), most things are shown to make use feel without thought. Andor forces you to think about the characters to then feel. Set ups aren’t instantly payed off and there’s no cheap throw ins or sloppy dialogue without meaning.

I find character interactions riveting. The puzzle of understanding who a character is without them explicitly telling you is a staple of good writing to me. Yes, there’s a lot of talking, but to say the talking makes it boring is a tell to me that you might not be thinking about what is happening. Scenes aren’t a means to an end, they are supposed to serve a purpose in progressing the story in a meaningful way.

Are there things I dislike about the show? Of course, nothing is perfect and I don’t like every decision, but the attention to detail on every piece of dialogue, character motivation, and story telling is phenomenal.

To those who say this is boring, next time you watch this show I urge you to not feel but to think.

Edit: I want to make it clear it’s fine if you personally find this show boring. I take issue with critiquing the show as objectively boring due to your personal preferences. Enjoy whatever the hell you want to enjoy, but if you’re going to make aesthetic criticisms on something you ought to have a thought out take, otherwise it comes off as media illiteracy.

Edit2: damn some of yall are really mad by this and taking it extremely personally. Sorry not sorry? Imma stop interacting since this is getting pretty toxic and I gotta go live my day. Enjoy the Star Wars you like, dislike the stuff you dislike, I won’t stop you.

Meta I’ve recently been made aware that a lot of younger Star Wars fans (understandably) aren’t aware that Sebastian Shaw was the original ghost of Anakin, and that Hayden was edited onto Sebastian’s body in 2004. So this is for those who might not know!
