/starwars/ - Star Wars

Original trilogyfags are as bad as Transformers G-whiners and Gen1fags from Pokemon.

People who were only fans of something when it was popular and don't like the expanded lore because they can't dedicate themselves to something.

Fans in general are terrible

to be fair, all transformers series after armada are inferior in every way, the comics are the only thing that holds up.

also, if you kept up with pokemon after ruby/sapphire then you're a fag and an overgrown child.

>>9437

yes op, you hit the nail on the head. most people who consider themselves "star wars fans" only recall the ot, join in the pt hate circlejerk, and either have hardly touched the eu or have read thrawn and played 2 or 3 games.

simply put, their opinions are to be entirely discarded on the spot.

>>9450

this, i have a friend who tirumphantly said to me the other day to me that everyone should think about the EU as "glorified fanfiction" and that the only things canon are the movies/tv series.

Holy crap i wanted to slap him in the face so hard, he went to the fucking premier of Ep 7 fucking whoring everying about it, and he totally buys in to the shitfest that "canon" totally and 100 percent means "what the current owner says"

Obviously i had to point out to him that Didney said that the old EU was "Legends" canon and that their new shit was basically an alternate timeline, but christs sake, he calls himself a huge fan when he hasnt even touched anything about the goddamn EU, and when he said that "EU contradicts himself always" i could easily tell that he, again, had not touched any of the EU material. Fucking hell i had to give him the wikipedia page on EU canon for him to understand, but for fucks sake these people are annoying to the bone

>>9458

you should always give them the yuuzhan vong test when they claim to be a big fan (although in his case i guess this doesn't matter)

if they say anything that isn't negative about it, you know they haven't read any of it or even know what the fuck it is.

either way your friend is a cuck and should off himself at the first chance.

>>9437

I see what you're getting at, but at the same time, to just welcome anything without really thinking about it is just as bad as hating new shit just for being new.

Both kinds of fan are dumb because rather than actually thinking about their decisions, they just stubbornly hold onto their knee-jerk opinions about the different SW properties rather than taking a second to think about their opinions.

>if they say anything that isn't negative about it, you know they haven't read any of it or even know what the fuck it is.

To be honest, i liked the Vong, although i ever only managed to read the first couple of novels of them, since the only big-chaing international library we have where i live closed, so the only books i ever managed to read were the Republic Commando series, I, Jedi, Outbound Flight, the Bane series, and the first two or three books of the Vong. So perhaps theres something im missing as to why people dont like them?

Either way, they always sturck me as the most brutal enemy, sorta like the Mongols IRL

>>9463

most people (including me) don't really like them since they are mary sues

oh, a race from another galaxy is somehow entirely resistant to the force? it's borg-tier writing.

i do, however, very much like the look of them, vong culture and their bio-tech shit.

The way I see it, there are the fans that stuck through all through star wars, the games, the books, and even the prequels

and on the other hand you have the bandwagon

>>9464

But wasnt it explained that the huge ass force sensitive planet stripped them of their conection with the force? Sorta like how the Rakatan tried to make species sensitive with the force?

again just havent read most of the books involving the Vong invasion, pls no bully

>>9468

honestly i have no idea

also, the post-jedi cult of ragnos managed to infuse normal people with the force, dunno how the rakatan couldn't.

>>9520

Why is it the more I hear about the EU, the more I think it sounds infinitely more fucking interesting than the shit we got in TFA :/

While probably not always stellar it does seem to at least try new shit.

>>9437

To be fair, only the original trilogy is really Star Wars… the rest is just extra fluff. I know it is considered canon, but that doesn't make it any part of the original story.

Or let me out it this way:

Is any Star Wars fans really a fan of the Star Wars Christmas special? I know Lucas himself disowned it, but shouldn't people be fans of that travesty as well?

Or what about that horrid CG series?

No, the reason why the true fans are the only ones that can be considered "Star Wars fans", is because the rest can't really be considered Star Wars. It is just extra material. It is fluff and fanfiction level.

I like them both, actually. The Christmas special feels like an old chrimbus special/variety show and if you're calling the CG series horrid you've not actually watched it.

>tfw could have had a 2d star wars series in the style of heavy metal/aeon flux

>instead we get the 3d nonsense

don't get me wrong i like the show, just would prefer 2d animation.

Cause they got free reign with every type of topic imaginable with the only prejorative to make it "starwars-y" and to stick to the timeline of previous iterations of works of canon. Didney is going to make a shitton of safe crap with the Marvel Treatment untill people are fed up, people stop seeing the shit, and all that are left after the new movies (emphasis on moviessss) are us, and the cycle repeats, only with Disney at the head
