This was THE Zoomer game... how can it be dying? With a STAR WARS event no less?

Only 1 million players? Lol, washed up piece of trash game

I actually came back because of this Star Wars event but was very disappointed because it didnt change the meta. It feels like any other Fortnite season. 1 tap pump shotguns and snipers. I wanted to play with Lightsabers, force powers and inaccurate blasters but nobody uses them. Pretty shit.

Star Wars is a gen X franchise, Harry Potter is the Millennial franchise.

no legends characters people would want like Darth Revan, Kyle Katarn or Starkiller

no canon characters people would want like Andor who's show has a new currently ongoing season of his show

they instead filled the battlepass with sequel shit and reskins of skins that have been reskinned endless times

STILL NO CUSTOMIZABLE LIGHTSABER PICKAXE

Star Wars is tainted. Its not the franchise it once was.

I'm Gen Y and like both (Excluding Disney Wars/Clone Wars).

Star Wars has been Kathleen Kennedy'd for so long now it has zero goodwill or fan support anymore. I can't think of a other franchise that had whole conventions dry up as quickly as Star Wars.

I have been playing consistently since season 2. I always stop when the star wars slop came back. I actually preferred they keep doing it this way cause then I don't miss out in normal battle passes and just the Star Wars themed one. Sounds like the next season is super hero crap so I might just not return. Games gone to shit since Mustard left anyway

Acting like anyone gives a shit about fucking starkiller

Force Unleashed came out 17 years ago man, let it go.

Wait till they dedicate a whole month for Indiana Jones

Because Stard Wars is onions neckbeard dog shit.
Haven't touched the game since it started and I had been playing for 3 years straight.

There's a difference between being able to enjoy a franchise and the franchise not being explicitly your demographic, Star Wars is objectively a gen X franchise, Harry Potter is a Millennial one.

You can be a Zoomer and enjoy ST (I wouldn't be able to understand why but you are able) that doesn't mean Star Wars is a Zoomer franchise.

People would much rather have him in the battlepass than Poe Dameron, Wookie Team Leader(the 900th reskin of Cuddle Team Leader) or a reskin of that bitch from ch3.

Doctor Who
Star Trek
Marvel
Masters of the Universe

The Star Wars case is a tragedy but is neither unique and much less the worst.

Star Wars has been turned into a fucking joke in recent years.

Who are these people? I thought Starkiller was fucking stupid when he came out and I was 12. He doesn't even look distinctive, he's a short haired dude in black. The only notable feature is that he holds his ligthsaber wrong. Where are these Starkiller fans you speak of?

Make entire month season be only Star Wars

Devs surprised it didn't get people

What is up with these fucking executives? Are they that fucking out of touch that they think Star Wars is massive still?
That rumored Simpsons themed month season might actually be successful.

In recent

2012 was 13 years ago anon

What is a quintessential zoomer franchise? FNF?

what will be the next scourge of the gaming industry that all investors chase once Fortnite dies

In any SW fan community? I don't like TFU either(the ps2 version is better), but Starkiller has a big fanbase as do his games. More fans than Poe Shitteron.

Star wars is a millenial franchise

I'd argue that it's a Gen X or even Boomer franchise because I don't give a shit about it either.

Trek has had ups and downs but it still has fans and good new shit. Cons and fan goodwill aren't dead.
Doctor Who is the most comparable to the Star Wars situation but it isn't as big outside of the UK.
Marvel hasn't been fucked for nearly as long and it still has okay movies here and there.

It's simple, the gameplay aspect of the Star Wars season itself sucks dick.

Every gun has unlimited ammo, no actual resource management and every fight boils down to whoever gets the jump on who first

Tiefighters and X-Wings will just kill you if you're caught out in the open (Zero Build)

Lightsabers, while nice that are back mostly get outclassed by the spam of laserguns

Movement is severely limited

And finally

Out of the month long period, the season stayed practically barebones right up until the last week

good new shit.

Lmao, where?

Minecraft, that was proven last month, that's literally the only thing they have.

Good new shit

Kek

Strange New Worlds
Kelvin timeline movies are popular with a certain demographic

Actually liking lightsabers

No lightsaber pickaxe

Why did we flop

lol

Trek

Good new shit

lol you don't even consume any of its media you fake outrage faggot.

from fortnite to fortnite to... roblox
grim

It definitely got a renaissance in the 00s with the movies, the tv series, and the videogames.

But it doesn't really matter, the point is zoomer don't care. It's 30-40 years old who like baby yoda and whatever the rest was.

team fortress

bass windew

Ok, I clapped

Star Wars is dead.

Fortnite's new season is such a flop it has a lower 24 hour peak than Counter-Strike

Fortnite's numbers include PC, console and mobile while CS2 is obviously PC only

What the FUCK went wrong Epicbros?

one contrarian faggot spamming

see

It's 30-40 years old

Star wars doesn't have appeal to anyone under 37 AT MINIMUM, the prequels gave it a breath of new air back in the 00's but it was sandwiched between LotR and Harry Potter.

It is at its core a gen X franchise is a boomer franchise

They're only fun for their powers. Force pull/push can fling objects are people and hurt them which is always amusing but Force lightning has been my go-to for this season. It'll shred people if you get the drop on them and they don't react in time.

make season heavily focused on one collab many fortnite players don't care about

heavily change up the gameplay so the weapons are only starwars themed with most of the original stuff gone

This season is ass for most players who don't care for star wars. The marvel seasons were annoying too but they didn't remove fortnite related weapons. It's a miracle this shit wasn't a full season.

if cod is dead and fornite replaced cod who will come and save us now?

counter strike is a pyramid scheme in which thirld worlders try to scam each other

Its some autistic restriction by the devs because they didn't want to have pickaxe lightsabers mixed up with the weapons, despite there being a fuckton of melee weapons that have picks looking just like them

Strange new worlds wasn't as painfully awful as discovery at least.

Zoomers don't like Star Wars. They watch Marvel movies, Hunger Games, the Minecraft movie, and the Ted movies.

The electrostaff/force lance/fusion cutter and the gaffi stick are the only good pickaxes here and that's because these are actual weapons/tools that show up in SW. The rest are just shit pulled out of their ass.

Damn i need her to fart on me.

Only boomers care about Star Wars.

Roblox
We're already seeing it with Leslie Benzies' new project
But imitating Roblox is even harder because its selling point is the amount of user-made content its built up over decades

Zoomers don't care about capeshit. That's a millennial thing.

SNW isn't just better than other nuTrek, it's better than ENT and most of VOY
It's not on par with TNG or DS9 but it's up there with the best. Of course it's new so it has NEW THING BAD contrarian faggots here but those always existed.

Lightsabers aren't that bad, it's the fucking xwings and tie fighters that are the real problem.

Vader is also fucking aids.

Why do younger generations seem to hate anything made before 2010? It's like they think nothing made before smartphones was "cool"

Zoomies like edgecapeshit like Invincible and The Boys.

because no zoomie gives a fuck about shart wars. shart wars is millennial sloppa.

The Avengers movies didn't get big solely off the money of adults, anon.

Having the "lowest average player count in 2 years" (meaning that the game is still bigger than it was 3 years ago) while having 1 million+ concurrent players is fucking insane numbers dude. You can't just will a game to die.

when you get involved with tard wards its over.
everyone knows this.

Its certainly better than Enterprise. But that was mostly due to truly awful casting. There's no way its better than Voyager, even the really dogshit early Neelix episodes are more enjoyable than snw.

I agree, Vader is pretty fucking AIDS. He's just a 1000 HP bulletsponge that'll toss you around with force abilities and it's so annoying to fight against. I hope Epic never does something like that again.

I spent the past month playing other stuff until this season end. This shit only works when it's for a few days like past years.

Star Wars is such a dead franchise it repels people rather than attracting them.

I rewatched VOY a couple months ago and it really doean't hold up to the goodwill people have for it. There are glaring plot holes and inconsistencies, sometimes breaking the rules established in the very episode that introduced them. Janeway also gets progressively more intolerable the longer I'm exposed to her.

kek

The thing is Epic has thrown everything at Fortnite trying to keep retention up

Creating UEFN to try to turn it into the next Roblox

Endless collabs

Finally getting back on mobile

And numbers are still going down. I'm not going to say it's dying or anything, but its best days are probably behind it.

Harry Potter

kiddy bullshit, I would more confidently profess a love for Power Rangers than baby's first fantasy

kiddy bullshit

Harry gets stabbed in the arm with a basilisk fang.

them spending chapter 5 shoving all the collab shit down people's throats did the game no favors. Fucking lego held the game's shop hostage for months.

Harry Potter is crap but what you and I think about it doesn't matter when the bulk of the normalcattle eats it up.

It is Babies first fantasy, but it is Millenialcore.

Also blame murricans for americanizing Sentai, it is still strong in Japan.

UEFN is so fucking barebones, it'll never replace Roblox. Epic is delusional. They should've just stuck with BR, StW and LTMs. This Rocket Racing, Guitar Hero, Lego game modes are already dead and all the Creative/UEFN maps are dead too.

Star Wars has been tainted on an irreversible level by the sequel trilogy and all the dogshit TV shows. The prequels weren't good, but the backdrop of the clone wars gave us a bunch of really fun games and media at least. I can't say that about Disney Wars.

Millenial age cohort needs to be split in half between 80's babies and 90's babies. The former cares way more about starwars than the latter, and the inverse is true when talking about Harry Potter.

OH MY GOD SOMEONE GOT HURT THIS IS DEFINETLY NOT FOR KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What would even make for a good mini season? I can't imagine enjoying anything enough to want a battle pass full of nothing but franchise skins

star wars was huge in the 00's

How did Minecraft become so popular with zoomers?

Star Wars season

absolutely REFUSE to make sexy technicolor alien women skins

player count fucking PLUMMETS

This is not a coincidence.

Nothing. Just do small events like they used too during the main season. The Dragonball Z event was kino, and shitposting on /dbs/ during that time was the funniest shit ever.

Darth Revan, Kyle Katarn or Starkiller

Who?

With a STAR WARS event no less?

A money printing franchise since 1977 destroyed in less than a decade by ideological nutjobs. Think about that. And it's just one of many. Crazy crazy shit

It's not about you personally kiddo. Zoomers wouldn't want to be known as the fortnite gen but them's the breaks.

less than cs2's avg concurrent

GABE FUCKING WON

Millennials have Harry Potter

Zoomers have Fortnite

Gen Alpha has Skibidi Toilet

What embarrassing franchise defines Gen X and boomers?

Boomers have Golden Age comics. Gen X has those cringy toy commercial cartoons from the 80s.

UEFN is just the same 4 games reskinned over and over with violently oversaturated colors and AI slop thumbnails

No individual series could. A full on shonen jump mini season with all the absolute bullshit mythics from every single past collab and a few new ones in one season would be fun though. I recognize that it would be incredibly divisive for people who don't like chaotic stupid shit happening all the time in game though.

Tim Sweeney is obsessed with the metaverse and wanting Fortnite to be Ready Player One. It's ironic UEFN is years behind Roblox in terms of content creation.

Fortnite is mostly played by boys while Star Wars is a franchise exclusively for tumblr dykes and cuck male feminists ever since Disney bought it.

User Engagement as a metric has been a fucking travesty for user made content in general. Red vs Blue made a million fucking dollars for it's creator since it's inception.

Ehh. Give HK-47 and some other droids for skins and I would've been pretty down. Kinda crazy we haven't got any B1 Battle Droids when they would've been perfect to dump in with Grievous.

Are the tycoon game modes made with UEFN? Because Fortnite is flooded with that shit.

What exactly is stopping Ebin from putting all the collab shit currently in Battle Pass purgatory onto the shop?

They do that already, but it's a different style for the skin. They're called cope skins.

How did Minecraft become so popular PERIOD.

everything past chapter 5 season 3 will show up in the shop after two years. anything before that you're just out of luck.

its another 100 slop tycoons with the same faggot fish in the thumbnail every month

cheap

ported to the ps3/x360 early on

easy to get into

infinitely moddable

easy to make content out of so YT channels dedicated to MC can get big quickly

Getting sued most likely. They've already been reamed by the courts multiple times in the past for their bullshit, that and the "OG's" are legitimately insane.

Back in 2023 with the launch of Chapter 5, Epic created new player animations which were a lot nicer but resulted in slightly slower animations and actions overall. This lead to a bunch of players tracking down the animator for Epic and threatening to kill the guy. Epic slightly sped up the animations to keep them happy.

I'm aware, but whats REALLY stopping Epic from unvaulting the likes of Doomguy and Snake?

they all have a box you need to hit repeatedly to generate income (every hit also gives you XP) because the map creators know people only play this shit to farm XP

Literally everything is dying right now. There seems to be a total media collapse going.

Play music tycoon

Actually its a tycoon for the first 10 min and the rest is you uncovering a plot about a mad scientist turning people into monsters with music

woah...

Oh so fortnite has the same youtube thumbnail meta game that roblox has? That's hilarious

ye

I hate this fish so much

It took up too much storage. Skins cost so retardedly astronomically high I'm not going to bother buying them (lets be honest that's a big part of the game's appeal and it's jewish), bots soured my experience. Recent updates didn't interest me and the map turned me away from it.
Worst of ALL. The bots. Get that shit out of my game, I do not want it. If that's forced on me what even is the point? You really want me to play dead internet the game?? Get. Out. Of. My. Sight.
Absolute no-go zone tier shit. I will not have it. No gamer who cares about and likes games wants that and yet it's given to everyone. Dead internet the game. They want it to be that way? Ok, use your bot player counts motherfuckers.

I think that online games like this and a lot of a gacha games just don't have the sauce anymore. I have seen the revenue threads for these games, shit is DOWN

star wars was a fun trilogy. everything beyond that has been absolute shit though.

b-but my books and cartoons

for diehards and young audiences

It also soured my sister on it (who I'd play this game with) with recent shitty maps, and she didn't like OG fortnite without tilted towers so that also gave me less of a reason to play it. It interested me quite a bit with the Star Wars stuff but I'm just too soured on it. I have slop fatigue, I have bot fatigue, I have jewish financial practices fatigue, I have live service fatigue. I have democracy fatigue. I have balancing fatigue.

people would want

No, (You) would want it, not "people".

Star Wars is Boomer/X shit.
Millennial ones are TMNT, Power Rangers, Scream, Evil Dead and Harry Potter.

Ya this is true I am early Xlennial and more identify with the 90s cartoons and the stuff like Batman, Pixar films. I think the only legit franchise is probably Marvel Comics, all else is just wack shit like Spongebob which you think is better than Transformers I guess okay sure.

Xlennial

Thats not a word you snowflake faggot

Just the things "rebooted" or "reimagined" by m*llennials.

The first Evil Dead movie came out in 1981.

Samefag

Only newfaggots can't see when samefagging isn't happening

I didn't ask, groomer faggot

So make Fornite 2 what's the fucking problem.

People who play one game for decades and never want a sequel are weird. Can't imagine still liking WoW, DOTA, Minecraft after a couple years.

The franchise took off with young millennials because of the sequels though. The first one wasn't that popular.

Yeah, and I, a millennial, was 6 months old then so it's millennialcore.

Truly the Reverse Midas Touch generation.

Nigger it's all dogshit. That's why everyone stopped playing this season
It's death by a thousand cuts. They are slowly making this game less desirable, especially since the Disney takeover

That's like saying Requiem for a Dream is a zoomer movie.

Rockband mode still gets a solid playerbase. Best thing us you can play it solo. They need to realise that it's Millennials playing that mode though. Need to stop with the Zoomer songs

Boom tycoon is peak

Zoomer who sometimes plays fortnite with friends here.
I would vastly prefer a HP battlepass instead of SW.
Having a bunch of magic shit and castles and flying brooms would be so much more hype than... whatever the fuck Star Wars has.
Honestly the only cool things Star Wars has are lightsabers and Dart Vader

There was a lot more with appeal pre-disney in the expanded universe but they of course threw the old canon right out the window so all of the fun and interesting stuff that was expanded from the films. The games pre dysney were the best ones. Battlefront 1 and 2 aren't the worst ever, in fact I really like them, but even those game in the cancellation of Battlefront 3 kino from the old SW. Before disney there was an appeal for a fairly broad spectrum.

I enjoyed fortnite on release, got my Wick skin and quit. Tried it recently and the game limits the pool of droppable items to only those in that specific season. I figured it would have thousands of shit in the pool to pull from an every match would be different. Nope, it's the same fucking match every single time. It's 120GB of garish skins where charm has been replaced by partialism, celebs, and rap taunts. Also they sell that exclusive Wick skin so it was also worthless. The map is also fucking horrid, I miss the open expanses and OG one. All the alt game modes sucked ass and there wasn't even 100v100.

Who played this shit to begin with past S1? Then again seeing the shit this generation posts you can tell they aren't very complex.

Repulsive.

Old battle passes you to be covered in disclaimers saying

This stuff wont come back

So if they do, the consumer will have a boatload of evidence to sue them for false advertisement

everytime i see this game i am reminded of a local girl aged six who was abducted raped and killed by some zoomer who's most noteworthy accolade in life was being a fortnight player

Epic pouring so much into UEFN is the worst thing to ever happen to the game. No more LTMs, UI got revamped for the worse, and Epic made the full-retard decision to pay map makers for playtime as soon as they launched it, leading to content farms on day 1 before anything good could get made. I'm sure there are fun maps out there but I'm not crawling through 300 Skibidi Toilet Red v. Blue and Faunum Tax Tycoon maps to find one of them. Epic blew so much money on this shit

I remember some murder in a nearby city and the best thing they could say to describe the murderer was "avid Fortnite player".
Fortnite is not sending their best.

this event was horrible, all the weapons suck

Star Wars for Gen X.
Boomers had the Pet Rock. Lmao.

With all the LEGO shit they keep trying to push, a HP update feels too fitting, only problem is that they'd have to roach out from the fucktards in charge of the new show and add normal pale Snape if they want to make any money

It is.

It's both, you're just confused into thinking that an IP that has spanned so much time is going to relegated to one particular slice just because that's where it peaked. Millennials grew up with the prequals(and largely have a more favorable opinion of them for it) and millennials are just as much the target audience because they too were folded in.

Mini seasons are a bad idea in general unless it's something like the OG seasons, you can't focus the whole game off a collab for a full month without people getting bored. They should have just done a second Star Wars Mini-Pass but the new Fortnite Crew killed those

Obviously death threats over this are insane but the game legitimately felt like shit due to the new walk and crouch speeds. I still haven't gotten used to the current crouch speed which is in between the old one and the one they introduced with the animation change.

Wookie team leader

Poe

Darth JarJar, the big meme from the intro trailer, was XP and shop locked

What the FUCK were they thinking

okay, enough about what crossovers you hate
what collab would you LIKE to see?

It came out at the perfect time when zoomers were in the peak of their childhoods and right at the explosion of YouTube lets play type content creating the perfect storm of zoomer popularity. Also helped that there was so much you could do in it and it was easily accessible.

Star Wars is at the point where you have to watch a million GARBAGE shows to understand what's going on. No zoomer is gonna do that.

Even if it was just me, that's more than the zero amount of people that wanted Poe Dameron in the pass.

Fartshite is dying

Good. The faster Epig dies, the faster their malware .dll stops being in my STEAM BOUGHT TITLES.

0 build only btw

Stupid fucking bitch maybe if you weren't in a godamn tie fighter in solos I could have done some damage

boomer wars

Lol that was me but as RTL or Cate Meowdy (I don't have the pink bear girl)

Because the Star Wars weapons have an extremely low TTK and infinite ammo, and every time Fortnite has a season with weapons like that the player count drops by like 50%.

The Star Wars skins have been selling well enough, people just aren't playing the game because dying to that fucking laser sniper in one shot fifty times in a row is annoying.

Kingdom Hearts, entirely because I want a Kingdom Key pickaxe.

I would turn feral if Fortnite got Snoot character skins. Shame KO OP owns the rights to the characters. Then again, I don't know if Cavemanon would sellout to Epic if he owned the characters anyway.

That already happened.

No, it didn't. Kingdom Key has very specific hitsounds and particles that've been in every KH game. Whatever bootleg keyblade I'm sure they've already done isn't the same.
Plus, O&O.

Nomura's autism wouldn't even let Kirby hold it in Smash, you are not getting the Kingdom Key as a pickaxe

The zoomers old enough to remember the release of the prequels like star wars

Both Star Wars and Harry Potter are millennial.
Millennials grew up with the SW prequels and the HP books.
Both franchises had lots of good vidya in the 2000s.

Still more players than any steam game

HP had 2-4 good video games over it's theatrical lifespan. I'll let pic related speak for SW.

Fortnite's chapters are a stand-in for numbered sequels

nobody under 40 cares about

prequelfags are all under 40 you stupid fucking nigger

Hey, now, Battlefront II and Fallen Order were pretty decent.

Gundam (0079)
Amuro Ray, RX-78-2, Char Aznable and Zaku II as skins

No they weren't.

You WILL watch geriatric Indy WHIP FASCISTS zoomie, and you WILL LIKE IT

the little children with a golden retriever's attention span loved the long and boring prequels!

i hate this psyop

That had to be a lie to get heat off disney.

They did that already, but it was when Epic was sane and had it be a small event contained with-in a proper season.

I'm still bummed that sexy girls are somehow more offensive than criminals singing about doing more crimes.

The original trilogy is Gen X, the prequels are millennial.

Disney is forcing all of their failing intellectual properties into Fortnite

Star Wars using the same designs for the past 50 years

Including Google's spyware to listen to children while they play

What a dystopian nightmare this shitty world has become

Doing the boulder quest was such a pain in the ass, I hate those kinds of quests.

bf2 is god tier

fri nov 14, 2014

After 11 years we are STILL shilling for same slop.

Shut up, shill. Your recent astroturf campaign failed.

The world has been stuck since somewhere between 2012-2016. It just gets more and more extreme, but doesn't change.

The AI Darth Vader is basically inaccessible to 99% of players. You have to go to one particular area of the map as soon as you possibly can and kill him to interact with him, and also everyone else playing is trying to do that same specific thing so you're almost certain to get dogpiled on by other people who want to make Darth Vader say racisms. And if you do get him, you might just get killed by one of the other people still hanging around immediately afterward, or by new people who arrived late.

Obviously what you need to do is "get good at Fortnite", but anyone who booted the game up just because they saw clips of Darth Vader but then isn't able to interact with Darth Vader is going to get frustrated very quickly.

Back to the Future is kinda irrelevant, but it's the same amount of irrelevant it was 11 years ago, so the point still stands.

Star war season

only like 8 lightsabers on the map for 100 people to fight over

Dumbest shit ever

Offline solo play fortnite with adjustable bot difficulty and selectable seasons in 50 years, trust the plan.

remove ammo from the game for the entirety of a forced Star Wars season because star wars guns are all infinite ammo

I WAS SO FUCKING MAD

People don't even grab them anymore. They are worse than just using the guns. I remember in Ch2 when they first got added everyone wanted them because they were that fucking powerful.

They keep listening to streamers soon thatll be their only audience

The star wars shit isn't bad, but it's simpler than the normal game, less guns and shit. Give it it's own mode.

Whenever Fortnite does go offline, i hope they do something like this.

You can already get bot lobbies

less guns and shit

Less guns than Freedom Town, USA™?

I just got them because they were cool

Tim is going to give everyone e-girlfriends

Damn I remember Bob Iger told investors this Fortnite investment would be a big deal and it flopped lol

shoehorn Star Wars into a season for the 3rd or 4th time

people are fucking bored

coming right after yet another "heist" themed season because they havent already done that shit like 4 times

SHOCKING NEWS

WOOOOW WHO COULD'VE GUESSED THAT HAMFISTING TEN THOUSAND COLLABS THAT DON'T MESH INTO THE ART STYLE IN A SINGLE YEAR INTO AN 3RD PERSON SHOOTER WOULD CAUSE PLAYERS TO NOTICE THE SIGNS OF IMMINENT CASHGRAB AND P2W DESIGN AND LEAVE THAT HORSESHIT OF A SHIP BEFORE IT SINKS

Here's your Darth Revan bro

Zoomers are getting to the age where they have jobs and responsibilities

HP

Good vidya

Harry Potter has 1 good game and it only came out a couple of years ago.

The first 2-3 games were exceptionally good for licensed games

The GBC games were solid.

My nephew literally said he dropped Fortnite because of the Star Wars shilling. Disney is unironically killing Fortnite.

Next season will be ANOTHER fucking superhero one

No wonder people are getting tired of this shit. Most people play Fortnite for the collabs, but if the collabs are shit no one is going to play.

Kek

I'm sure the zoomers that play fortnite will give a shit that they added Kyle Katarn

it was back in gen 6 when EA wasn't shit
they still had their old

EA games, challenge everything

you knew you were about to play some kino after that intro

They've added Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Futurama and other boomer shit to the game before.

zoom
boom

you're just missing on purpose aren't you?

What's the season going to be?

Nigga are you serious?

What in the hell are you even saying, retard?

why would a kid right now give a fuck about star wars? they've had nothing decent in like 15 years

This is bad news for Destiny 2 which went all in with a Star Wars collab for one of their expansions

disney did what was previously thought to be impossible, they raped the star wars ip so hard that now it is a net negative for anything attached.

Have you just not been paying attention the past decade? No one over 40 gives a shit about Star Wars anymore either.

The leaks right now are saying some sort of superhero academy or something. Superman skins and some other DC ones.

There's a massive contingent of gen Z who are only aware of the content of the films because they played the first three LEGO games.

You've got to be fucking kidding. We can't have a normal fucking season anymore unless we play the dead as fuck OG mode.

May Epic Games die a dirty death, inshallah

/thread

Disney investing in Epic was a mistake. It's just endless superhero and Star Wars slop now. I think there's rumors of another Marvel season later down the line too lmao.

Unless they have super girl in a skirt, I'm looking forward to my vacation.

inb4 they make a whole marvel CHAPTER

She'll have a knee long skirt and you VILL like it

nobody cares about Star Wars anymore. Disney totally ruined it over the last decade.

'Somehow Palpatine has returned' made me disavow the entire series

I don't think this is exactly what you can expect if you sell your IP out to people like Disney

2019

Star Wars and MCU collabs made Fortnite the most popular game in the world

2025

Star Wars and MCU collabs made Fortnite cringe

You'd have to play videogames to understand.

too pozzed to create new IPs

recycling old beloved IPs works but the added poz quickly kills them

They are cowards for not giving them to us.

The mortal kombat event was cool, following it up with yet another star wars event was boring. People that wanted their star wars fix were all playing battlefront 2 during may

OP... The zoomers grew up and moved on. They're not kids anymore.

The problem isn't Star Wars itself, it's that the "event" or switch to Star Wars themed shit in game fucking sucks. Vader always spawns at the same place so it's just dozens of faggots fighting to recruit him, light sabers range from shit to amazing depending on the ability, the guns ALL fucking suck compared to previous chapters/seasons, the X-Wing and Tie Fighter both feel like complete shit to fly and fight against, the Star Wars areas are lifeless and uninvolved, the BP and purchasable skins almost universally suck ass, and it's overall significantly worse than both the looting and shooting that preceded it or Fortnite x Miku x Godzilla before that.

lets be honest, the only good parts of star wars are the games released 15+ years ago now

KoTOR

original Battlefronts

Jedi Academy/Outcast

Rogue Squadron

Republic Commando

probably a bunch I'm not remembering

Where did it all go so fucking wrong Anon Babble?

Maybe... I dare say no one likes Star Wars.

It started going wrong in 2008 with the release of TCW3D and TFU. The Disney buy out and the killing of the Old EU/Legends fucked SW beyond repair in 2012 however.

i blame the books
if not for the mountains of books other people were writing for free george might have signed off on more games

don't forget to buy ruby now that she's back on the store

Fallen Order isn't a garbage game but it's not Star Wars, it shares superficial elements and immitates it, and maybe has cool things about it but I think it's honestly in a realm of its own, I like it, but SW as it was before disney was really something else, and that can be said for really any new Star Wars stuff. Battlefront 2 has a lot of really good elements. That I would think of more as Star Wars, it's not bad, but even that has some elements of Nu-SW that's not really beffitting of what is used to be.

Buying sweat skins

Star Wars is so rotten it poisons other series as if it were Nurgles rot.

Are they that fucking out of touch that they think Star Wars is massive still?

Either they're extremely out of touch, or Disney is trying desperately to get people interested in their dried up franchise that they only signed off on it by making it hijack an entire month.

sounds fun t b h
still not playing this game though

This was THE Zoomer game

but Star Wars is not the zoomer franchise they want it to be

What happened to darth vader calling people niggers? Pendulum already swung again?

The really odd part for me is that there isn't any Skeleton Crew, or Andor S2 representation in this season. Their newest SW installments, and the only two that people don't view as total sloppa.

It feels a lot like a clinically autistic kid who cannot fathom not telling the same joke for 5 years.

Got something to say?

Because nobody likes Yidsney Wars

Star Wars was always good.

Nah fuck you faggot and fuck your faggot shit

The average prequel fan is 25 to 30.

Johhny Silverhand in Fortnite must be his literal Arasaka-run Hell.

half the season to actually add slop wars skins for people who actually care about it

weapon pool is complete aids with incredibly low ttk

only good part was watching people make AI Vader say stupid bullshit
and now we get 3 months of the incredible spandexman and the figureless woman

No
And no
Your standards have not only slipped, they’ve fallen straight through the floor

and now we get 3 months of the incredible spandexman and the figureless woman

Wait, what? What's the next season?

The true joy is watching retards like you drop $300 on the game anyway.

everything points towards it being a Fortnite superhero theme
their survey skins released months ago for it was basically nothing but boring ass spandex people

Zoomers don't care about star wars. No cares about star wars anymore, they made themselves irrelevant to the public within the last decade.

put the good and goofy skins in cash shop

BP is lame aside from Grievous

people got tired of blasters and force lightning quickly

It makes sense.

the oldest zoomers were 6 or 7 when episode 3 released.

Makes sense. I'm 38 and when I went to see ep1 in theaters with my mom it was enough to feel embarrassed about how juvenile that shit was compared to the trilogy and all my friends immediately lost interest.

Zoomer

Star Wars

There you have it, no one under the age of 30 cares about that shit

Anyone with a brain has a BP farming account on their phone, it takes 5 fucking minutes.
I have been running lobbies with my husband and friends just so we can abuse Vader, to put it into perspective I haven't had a match without Vader by my side since May 19th.

We've trained him to sing, we've convinced him the Emperor wants him to say little teacups at the end of every sentence to confuse the rebels listening in, had him talking only in limmericks for half a match, alliterating using only E's and A's, had him partially write a manuscript for the last episode of Family Guy while mobbing him as the 4 Peters, had him show us his secret fishing spot...

Honestly this shit just makes me excited for the prospect of more AI teammates in the future, it's incredibly fun to mess around with and see what boundaries you can push.

This was THE Zoomer game

Actually is the Gen Alpha game, along with Roblox. Do people forget that they are in their 15s now?

There must be some giga autist who hates the idea of fun at Disney who has Epstein Island tier blackmail on someone to prevent lightsaber pickaxes. There's no logical reason those greedy shits wouldn't have approved it by now otherwise.

Star Wars is irrelevant nowadays. Fortnite and Disney took a big gamble making a star wars event. They should have learned when they did a Roblox partnership in 2018 to promote Solo and the movie still flopped. Kids on roblox probably aren't watching that movie in 2018 and now in 2025 even older teens still don't care about star wars (they're the kids from 2018)

The characters in Andor are deep and complex but no child looks at Cassian Andor and says "I want to be him" like they did for Luke or Anakin Skywalker. Luthen Rael has a great story, but no kid looks at the old man and says "wowww so cool!"

Reminds me of the Godzilla event.
The motherfucker spawned opposite to where I landed and I never got him once and it only lasted one week.

Of course, content creators can pull this easier than anyone else because they have either friends in the same match, have help from other players and playing the game is their job so any casual player will be lucky to get to him once.

Anyone with a brain has a BP farming account on their phone, it takes 5 fucking minutes.

Explain. I only play this on occasion. To be precise when they added Terminator, Geralt and then Metallica.

my husband

1. Make an alternate Epic Games account
2. Download Epic Games Launcher on your phone
3. Sign in
4. Download Fortnite
5. Friend your main account
6. Join main account
7. Fortnite runs on a One Hit system; your first lobby of the season, regardless of account age, played to completion is always ALWAYS 100% bots so you will feel yummy inside and keep hitting matchmake
8. Game the system by closing Fortnite on your phone after you matchmake and are placed into a lobby leaving only your primary account in the lobby (This is the most important step, if you load into the lobby on your phone make sure you quit BEFORE you are put into the battle bus, any experience granted to this account is poison and will prevent you from matching into 100% bot lobbies)
Yeah I'm a faggot you're in a Fortnite thread my guy what did you expect?

hearing the lame ass star wars music on the battlebus

that image

Based schizo

The BP is short. I cleared it a week ago just doing dailys and there isn't any waifu skins to unlock this season.

and please gatekeep the fuck out of this knowledge I'm only telling you because you're cool :)

Yes, I'm a '98 zoomer and I have extremely vivid memories of going to see it in theaters

Nothing lasts forever.

It is and has been consistently declining, the trend simply continued, but there's enough of a grifting industry built around Star Wars hate now that people will carry this lie because it sells their narrative. Nu-anons are worse than redditors.

We're in the middle of epics panic attempts at salvaging the mess that was chapter 5. The whole metaverse push flopped, UEFN still sucks ass and they signed a lot of big Collab deals with Lego and Disney that their Playerbase mostly doesn't give a shit about. So we're getting dev time spent on Disneyslop seasons nobody likes and Lego modes and assets people literally only use to afk grind XP.
And even when that is not happening they're massively overcorrecting course by doing the safest and thus blandest shit again because wacky shit like wrecked flopped. It's yet another heist season and now yet another super hero themed season. They even pulled out the emergency nostalgia bait by making OG a permanent mode which is extremely half baked.

This. I didn't want Star Wars shit all over the shop and map last May the 4th, I don't want it in the form of a season where all the theme items are difficult to tell apart, ugly, AND must-have on top of poor mobility and the rest of the pool going stagnant.
I also hated the C6S2 pass from the instant it was leaked and went out of my way not to open or even update the game, which means my habit has been broken for a season and a half now. I just don't care.

OG becoming a permanent mode was the death knell of Fortnite.

they have either friends

Simps you mean.
Imagine being a "friend" to someone whos entire purpose of interacting with you is to make money and they give you none of it.
Ha

Imagine being a "friend" to someone

Most of (you) couldn't.

Nobody who likes Andor plays Fortnite

It's been dying for a couple of years retard, most games have like 40 bots in them now and this seasons sucks

I bought Jar Jar and Darth Jar Jar because I like playing as him in Festival.

this GUYATT cannot be more powerful than the dark side

I do.

YAAS KWEEEN!
THE FORCE IS FEMALE!

Then you're nobody

The decline of Star Wars will be blamed on Disney, but George began it with the prequels. He decided he needed to change the tone utterly in order to appeal to children, despite the OT being literally the single most popular IP with young boys in the history of mankind at that point. Disney nailed the coffin, but the franchise crawled into the grave in 1999. It was carried forward by a generation that played the games and read the books, and once those were annihilated there was just nothing left. It's very hard to get a young person into something like that now anyways, imagine trying to get a zoomer to watch an entire movie, let alone three, let alone read a book. Might as well ask him to flap his arms hard enough to fly.

I'm glad I stopped playing before it became nothing but crossover shit. I like the original characters way more than here's random celebrity

My nephew reads a lot at least...

all these basic black supersuits
why

bro a counterstrike level FPS game but with stormtroopers and rebels might actually be cool

As a Zoom myself, Evil Dead is fucking awesome, no wonder Millennials liked that shit. Other zoomers should look into it.

I like the tree man, that's about it.

video games are dead

nothing but slop is produced now.

Nobody cares about Star Wars and the game is now too diluted for people to give a shit

OG and Battle Royale both have their own passes, as well as Festival, Lego and Racing

Roblox-tier islands are way less capable with custom assets so why would kids play that

Because they have to make content for 5/6 games now, each one is underbaked

Slop has been dominant ever since Sony entered the market.

who the fuck asked for ANOTHER super hero season

Until around mid 2000s the name still carries some excitement around it.
I won't say it'll be as big as before but if the franchise stayed the same track as back then I'd reckon it'll just be some mid tier franchise with some dedicated fans while normalfags don't care about it anymore that much, not actually despised like nowadays.

George began it with the prequels. He decided he needed to change the tone utterly in order to appeal to children, despite the OT being literally the single most popular IP with young boys in the history of mankind at that point

Idiot take. Shit on the movies like every other RLMtard but the Prequels revitalized Star Wars as a media franchise to higher highs than literally ever before. The early 2000s were the golden age of Star Wars media from toys to animation to vidya. All thanks to the world portrayed in the Prequels.
There's a reason when people play Battlefront whether ye olde Battlefront or the Mouse's abomination, everyone wants to play the Clone Wars rather than spess vietnam

Oh NO they will only make $900 million this month instead of $1 billion how will Fortnite ever recover???

They (Disney) keep trying to push the Disney shit. I can't imagine a single person actually wanting different version of Rey. They fucking put Poe Dameron on the Battle pass, and the only way they could find a character with less personality was if they got someone from Rogue One.

They have been losing money for a good while kek

good.

RLM

You weren't there, this is a zoomer meme that retards have become obsessed with. People hated the prequels before youtube existed, it wasn't a youtuber that convinced them. George got old, was out of touch, forgot was young boys actually like, and introduced a barney the dinosaur tier character thinking that's what "for kids" meant, and sunk his own franchise so bad he spent the next decade coping about it and eventually just bailed out of his life's work.

Then a gaggle of redditor faggots decided it would be funny to pretend to like the prequels because they're so universally disliked, then some wigger zoomers came along who weren't in on the joke and just thought everyone acting retarded was their people and they took the memes seriously and here you are.

I'm 32 years old and watched each of the Prequels in theaters on release day and spent my youth playing every Star Wars game I could get my hands on.

inb4 we go from "you weren't there" to "you're blinded by nostalgia"

Awesome, I'm 37, I watched TPM at a midnight showing in the 5th grade, and thought it was a huge disappointment. All my cousins thought it was bad, as more kids saw it they thought it was bad, everyone thought it was bad, no youtube required. George references the negative reaction constantly, the faggot who played Jar Jar pretends to have been bullied for online street cred despite nobody knowing who he was, who was bullying him? Why? Everyone loved it until some youtuber you're obsessed with told them not to, right?

the faggot who played Jar Jar pretends to have been bullied for online street cred despite nobody knowing who he was, who was bullying him? Why?

The media, who were pulling the same "omg that's a racist caricature character!" bullshit that they do today.

No, that's you projecting modernity onto the past, the same way you blame youtubers for a movie's poor reception in 1999. Zoomers think the world began in 2015.

8 years later

STILL no KH collab

It’s like Epic Games hates money

July 14, 1999

Completely removing AFK exp from Lego may be the straw that breaks the camel's back for me, liked being able to leave Fortnite running while working.

Which had nothing to do with the popular backlash whatsoever, you might as well use Mrs. Doubtfire and claim everyone was talking about troons in the 90s. Low IQ zoomers projecting the only world they've ever known onto everything that happened in the better world that was better precisely because they weren't in it yet.

Why didnt they do the lightsaber whip as a pickaxe? Its canon, looks different from a lightsaber and almost customizable.

Go away.

Both the Simpsons and The Boondocks took lazy potshots at calling Jar Jar a racist stereotype MULTIPLE TIMES, retard. Quit larping.

Star Wars as a franchise is mostly boomer/xoomer shit. Millennials only like the prequels and Shitney is still trying to pander to OTards. Zoomers don't give a fuck about Star Wars.

Played for laughs, and not remotely a driving force behind kids thinking jar jar was gay barney the dinosaur shit which was the context of the post. So sick of posting in English here to a bunch of jeets that can't read it.

This. Zoomers think Star Wars is for old people and prefer capeshit.

FNF?

That's alpha game franchise tho

Played for laughs, and not remotely a driving force behind kids thinking jar jar was gay barney the dinosaur shit

The fuck are you talking about? Jar Jar was overwhelmingly popular among kids. Adults hated him because his bits took place during TPM's most boring scenes and because he was seen as a racist stereotype by overly politicized retards. That wasn't an uncommon sentiment in the slightest.

It's what happens when you make a multi media franchise limited to just a overprice theme park, shitty streaming service shows and like 1-2 live service games. 20 years ago there was countless star wars games getting released.

None of that made the movies better. The movies are still shit.

Jar Jar was overwhelmingly popular among kids

No, he wasn't, I was there, I saw it, I lived it, this is just some gay meme to you. Ahmed Best was supposedly bullied (he wasn't) into near suicide by what, a BBC reporter? The Simpsons? Goddamn you lying faggots are so retarded.

Even if that were true (and it isn't), the point is that the Prequel films didn't drive the franchise into the trash pile it exists in now.

You need to quit LARPing as older than you are, because it's obvious and blatant you weren't there.

I could say the same to you, the only difference would be that I'd be right. You're a faggot zoomer repeating faggot memes.

They are. You're blinded by nostalgia, and prequel zoomers love the slop that Disney shits out now so they're part of the problem.

The time of SOI wars has ended and so has the time of rebelslop. It is time for CHADhammer to take it's place as the premier sci fi franchise

and prequel zoomers love the slop that Disney shits out now so they're part of the problem.

lol you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about
why would people who liked films full of interesting worldbuilding and alien designs like films that have absolutely zero unique concepts in their plot and no cool aliens worth a damn

I was thinking more on the lines of the people behind scenes, pretty much every streamer has at least 3 people behind scenes, editing, handling the chat and other stuff.

kek
when will these companies learn?

The last season had the worst battle pass of all time and the theme felt overdone to me and my friend group. This Star Wars one was fun at first but having EVERY weapon in the loot pool be a Star Wars weapon has got old quick

Rogue One.

I have nothing good to say about Star Wars but that was a good stand alone movie, it makes me wish it had nothing to do with that dogshit franchise.

A million dollars

You're poor

A million subscribers/followers/views

You're nobody

A million active players

Dead game.
World really doesn't want a million to be big anymore.

you sold it

1.04 million players is still a lot of players. Just extend the Sabrina Carpenter skin until the end of June to grow the playerbase again.

Shit Wars came out in the 70s its Gen X franchise

What is the Star Wars/Harry Potter of gen Z? Skibidi Toilet?

capeshit movies.

1.04 million players is still a lot of players.

compared to a month ago they had twice of that... and they all left

The last season had the worst battle pass of all time

Sub-Zero and that anime waifu were the only good ones. Midas #43 and furry bait as well if we want to be nice.

I don't think something like that can form for gen z because everything is so diffuse and ADHD now. Harry Potter was big because we all experienced the same story at the same time, which is basically impossible now because they don't have the attention span for a story longer than three minutes and they're all scrolling a different algo feed.

The Godzilla event was cool, Star wars is gay, but the Vader AI was funny.

How long until the SW reboot?

bad PR from 30yo manchildren who would get indignant if they couldn't flaunt their ugly 2017 skins to younger players who weren't born yet

It forces Star Wars (dead franchise) down your throat

TFA was already ANH with girls and browns.

They will never do an official reboot but I guarantee they will start making "non-canon" series that will spin-off into their own universes. It's already starting with one of the anime shorts getting its own movie.

Never, but they'll ignore the sequels forever. Everything will always be set before or long, long after and the whole period will be a deadzone.

zoomers are becoming 30 year olds

Alphas are becoming 15 year olds

George began it with the prequels. He decided he needed to change the tone utterly in order to appeal to children

That started with RotJ and the Ewok bullshit.

this is cope over unwanted "modern audience" games and movies underperforming. low budget things that don't shit on their fans are doing fine.

boomers are still not dead

There's some truth to that. It also has "somehow...the Death Star has returned". I guess I've never been as critical of ROTJ because it happened before I was born so that's just what Star Wars is to me, same reason zoomers can't wrap their heads around what the prequels changed, and why we'll probably see unironic sequel faggots here in another ten years.

The only hope for Star Wars now is to focus on the Old Republic and not fuck it up. Keep Filoni away and make it 1:1 with the games. Don't do the shitty disney reimagining like they did with Dark Troopers.

unironic sequel faggots

I'll eat my hat.

Never understimate younger generations dogshit taste

It'll happen. You see it a little bit already, people on Anon Babble who are shitposting and want attention pretend to like the sequels for attention, eventually that will attract gen alpha noobs who aren't in on the joke and before you know it you'll have people here claiming nobody hated Finn and it was all a tiktok's fault. All of this has happened before and will happen again.

OH NO, ONLY TEN MILLION MONTHLY PLAYERS?

It's the definition, crossovers with everything where nothing has soul or makes sense, it's the mc donalds of video games

It's too late for me to back out now.

How are Ewoks different from Jawas? How are R2 and fag golden robot less annoying/childish than Jar Jar? How is black/white morality fairy tale about space wizards and princesses not for children? Star Wars was always for children. In 1977, Lucas literally described it as a children's film. Nothing changed since 1999. You just grew up.

You will never see sequel defenders in the future because those movies are designed specifically to appeal to OTroons instead of offer something for a new to a younger generation.

You will never see sequel defenders in the future

Time will tell whether you are right or wrong

Post a thread cooking it and eating your fine meal once it starts happening

NTA but I saw the OT and PT when I was a kid, and the PT was clearly much more kiddy goofy. It's the difference between for all ages and actually for kids. I think people who weren't there just can't comprehend that we used to have toys for Terminator and Alien at Toys R Us, like it was no big deal to advertise an R rated film like that because that's what boys thought was cool as soon as they were 8 or 9. There's just this thing people do when they get really old where they forget what kids are really like and that 8-12 demo just merges in with 0-7 in their minds, and that's what we got.

The difference is that all of those things were at least interspersed with darker story elements. Luke's aunt and uncle were burned alive and left as skeletons in the open, Empire had gore and torture, Return was the turning point where Lucas began toning the adult themes down and replacing it with more whimsy.

The balance of whimsy and grit was what made the first couple of movies good.

That said, RotS had the Youngling massacre.

With a STAR WARS event no less?

Because they have a Star Wars event. I actually reinstalled the game after upgrading to a new PC. After logging in, I saw that the battlepass was all Star Wars shit and I left without even playing one game. Nobody gives a fuck about Star Wars, Disney straight up annihilated that whole fanbase.

Time has already proven him correct. It's been 10 years since TFA, TFA's reputation has only soured. Remember that it used to be viewed quite favorably upon it's release and the few years after the fact. TLJ and TroS were both slammed upon release and slammed even harder still. Disney fucking up it's own EU isn't helping matters.

The Sequels have no good EU material... no comics, no books, and most importantly no good video games. The Prequels had mountains of all these things.

Terminator and Aliens were not for children. They are literally rated R, retard. Star Wars was fucking PG. Get real. Original movies are no different from the prequels.
TPM had Qui-Gon killed, Maul cut in half. AOTC had Anakin's mom tortured to death, tusken genocide, Jango beheading, Anakin losing his arm. ROTS had shit ton of "grit", and it's the only Star Wars movie rated PG-13. Even The Clone Wars cartoons had more graphic "grit" than OT. You fags are blinded by nostalgia and talk out of your ass.

It sucked anon, I'm sorry.

Basically for babies desu

They are literally rated R

Yeah, that was the point, can you not read? They really need to start region gating this place, talking to ESL faggot retards like you all day gets old fast. I know some of you will still post from your 7/11 but it would at least be less common.

Another reason the 'for kids' thing is so dumb, it's so unevenly applied. It was always for kids, but here's Leia basically naked and getting her face licked, and Luke getting tortured and screaming in agony, here's Jar Jar but also here's Anakin burning to death so bad that I think they censor it on cable.

I'm not saying it was a sudden shift from some grit to zero grit, but you have to be blind not to see that his focus was more on the whimsy as the years passed. I honestly get why, it made him unfathomably fucking rich, but to say the frnachise didn't suffer wouldn't be inaccurate, it's why we never saw anything official from him after RotS, he just licensed to the day he sold it to disney.

I did not finish reading your post. I did not deem it worth my time. You retard think just because your bum ass parents let you watch Alien and Terminator, that means everyone else did. No one would have allowed you to watch those movies in cinemas. They would literally not sell you the tickets. Star Wars 1977 was PG children's movie.

This. Disney Star wars had no Shadows of the Empire/Thrawn Trilogy to save it. And no, mando, EA front, Fallen Order, Andor, despite the hype, failed to save the ST and the Disney era, but only to stall for time for KK to announce the Rey NJO Sequels. We're seeing the death of IP that could've happened in the 90's.

I think people who weren't there just can't comprehend that we used to have toys for Terminator and Alien at Toys R Us, like it was no big deal to advertise an R rated film like that because that's what boys thought was cool as soon as they were 8 or 9.

Parents weren't horrible pussy faggots in the 80's. I remember going to a drive-in with my parents and there was a double feature of Ferngully and Alien 3. I was 7 at the time.

Zoomers don't care about Star Wars, it's a boomer franchise so it makes sense that it bombed in Fortnite

Alien 3. I was 7 at the time.

I'm sorry you had to go through that.

We used to have far more faith in children's ability to engage with stories. Star Wars is indeed a children's franchise. Children's franchises used to have timeless themes that a father could watch with his son and enjoy together.
Now children get the shallow idiot content and it's all excused with "it's a children's show"
Sad!

I did not read

Yeah, I know. I won't even bother telling you the difference between "did not" and "could not", you won't get it.

I fell asleep about fifteen or twenty minutes in. Ferngully was awesome though.

Kek, that's the average reaction

but you have to be blind not to see that his focus was more on the whimsy as the years passed

You have yet to prove how that's the case. You appealed to some "grit" in the OT, yet that was nothing compared to PT that you think is more childish. And you have ignored all the whimsy shit that was there from the start:

How are Ewoks different from Jawas? How are R2 and fag golden robot less annoying/childish than Jar Jar? How is black/white morality fairy tale about space wizards and princesses not for children?

it's why we never saw anything official from him after RotS

He made The Clone Wars. It was Lucasfilm in-house production that he created and executive produced single-handedly.

He made The Clone Wars.

Hey, nobody is perfect.

Both true. There was a push and pull between women screeching and Dad letting you watch cool stuff, and now it's just a woman screeching forever.

I liked Force Unleashed.
Dice first Battlefront game was good.

It went to shit exactly by the time The Last Jedi came out, that movie killed the IP, we all know it.

Terminator and Aliens were not for children

if you didn't secretly watch films like these with your friends when you were 10, you had no childhood

Nah, despite reddit letter media's revisionist history the prequels were widely beloved in their own time. It was the literal zenith of toy/book/video game sales for the franchise, boomers and zoomers won't get it but every single shop had a dedicated Star Wars section during the prequels. Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars was being shown on Cartoon Network between ep 2 and 3 and it was the single most hype thing that has ever come out of the series.

Meanwhile the sequels were nostalgia pandering hard to boomers and gen x and didn't actively try to cultivate a younger audience. This is why toy sales cratered and they couldn't even give them away. The sequels also failed to keep their own fans interested in the series which is why all of their shows are flopping hard.

Genndy Wars mentioned!

Andor is firmly OT, Mando may as well be too. Fallen Order is, Battlefront needs to ride on the OT and PT to save it.

Point is: There is no Nu-EU that is firmly set in the ST that is good, or even decent. The only good/decent Nu-EU stuff takes place in the OT or PT, or just reshapes Old EU stories and concepts.

The ST literally has nothing to it of note beyond the movies, it's a wasteland of content. It has no Republic Commando, no Shadows of the Empire, no Clone Wars TV show

R2 and C3PO had plot relevance, Jar Jar's entire impact was comic relief outside two instances where he, one, let slip that the Gungans had a big army, and two, pitched emergency powers to Palpatine. That's it, that's his entire presence, literally the rest of it is him being a fucking jester.

How are Ewoks different from Jawas

Jawas chitter and squeak on screen in a couple scenes and that's it. Fucking half of RotJ's runtime was Ewok "comedy", including the decisive battle. He even threw a fucking dance party at the end of the movie, honestly that should have been taken as a warning shot that he would sell to Disney someday.

How is black/white morality fairy tale about space wizards and princesses not for children?

Most fiction across history was black/white morality, Anon. The current obsession with Grey morality is very recent. You don't wanna sound like that fat fuck G.R.R Martin, do you?

He made The Clone Wars. It was Lucasfilm in-house production that he created and executive produced single-handedly.

Right, forgot about that, sorry.

The problem is that the battle passes the past few seasons have been complete fucking ass. Also the seasons kind of suck with one item or mechanic dominating everything else. Bring back the random perks.

I did. Did not have to do it secretly. I am not a faggot muttmerican. I watched them freely on VHS, and my parents bought them for me.
But they were not children's movies. They were R-rated adult movies. I would not be able to see them in theaters. Star Wars was children's PG franchise from the start that anyone 6 and above could go and watch.

revisionist history

You're accusing others of what you're doing. Same as it ever was. Half the reason people liked the (overrated) cartoon was precisely because it was tonally different from the prequels. All that stuff from the time period distinguished itself specifically by not carrying the prequel's tone, Knights of the Old Republic, Republic Commando, etc. The best praise a game could get in that era was how it wasn't like the prequels.

Yeah i've noticed that for the ST to get any vidya content it seemingly needs to be tacked onto the other SW stuff. Which is why we only really see it in the Lego games, Fortnite and Battlefront.

PT had RC, Bounty Hunter, Jedi: Starfighter, etc
OT had Dark Forces, Shadows of the Empire, Rouge Squadron, etc
ST has nothing, literally no games are set in it's solely in its time line

remains popular in your path

How in the frick did they do it?

Zoomers are old now and the next generation now plays Roblox

and two, pitched emergency powers to Palpatine.

Poor FUCKING bastard, man. George really fucked over this alien.

lol yeah ok, prequel merchandise sold like hotcakes because everybody secretly hated it

Much like how Netflix continues to dominate streaming despite being mostly retarded, they were the first in and were just competent enough to not totally blow it.

Or did he?

pretty sure the star wars event is happening on an actual star wars game right now

I hated the prequels and still bought Republic Commando. It's not hard to grasp if you try.

Creamy Sheev styled on the entire galaxy, Jar Jar was just one more casualty of his schemes.

It's fitting that this retard zoomer meme comes to a head in Fortnite.

Good thing no one pitched it before RotS, Lucas might have gone and done it unironically

he may go back and do it just to ruin his work

secretly

Anon, the idea of a parent having any objections to their kid watching a Terminator movie is completely alien to me. I can't even imagine having parents that are such pussies. I watched Robocop when I was like four years old, and had an action figure of him that used those cap gun things to make gun firing effects.

maybe the clown character is acktually secretly a great evil!

George liked his black and white morality. He literally called the bad guys the "dark side"
For all Lucas's (primarily dialogue related) faults, he would never have even considered going with Darth Jar Jar.

Where were you when nu-wars needed you the most?

Lucas was also incredibly impressionable, as proven by him making a purple lightsabre for Windu simply because Samuel L Jackson asked him to.

This skin for some reason has the best cape physics in the entire game

The fun thing is that the franchise never recovered from this. Ollie's is full of shitty Star Wars and Mahvel figures right now, and even there they can't move it.

My 5 year old nephew made sure to tell me this past weekend what his favorite teams were. Same favorite 2 as his dad. Pure coincidence I'm sure.

Fortnite players pretending to have standards

Kek come on now

I was being failed by EA which had the license and did nothing with it. I bought Fallen Order and liked it, Squadrons was okay, but they basically released nothing. A good game is a good game, and if someone made a great game set in the sequels I would buy it, even as I hate the sequels. They just aren't, the best they did was put Rey in Battlefront 2, which I used with nude mods, and that's basically it.

prequels

background alien #9848753 so popular only one per customer rule enforced

sequels

can't even give away main character

lol no you dumb boomer nigger, zoomers know about star wars because of lego.

vid about unsellable shit at ollie's

it's all nu-wars slop

lmao

The early 2000s were the golden age of Star Wars media from toys to animation to vidya.

No. That'd be the mid-90s, when the Special Edition movies were released in theaters and introduced an entire new generation to Star Wars. That's what kicked everything off.

Shadows of the Empire was clunky SHIT

Even LoL of Legends is reclining

But korea and china

Pretty much confirms Riot's downfall.

This, acting like 5 year olds didn't watch dbz characters get stabbed every week

For the Zoomers' entire lives, they've hated everything "old". Too stupid to understand what a baby boomer was, they called anything older than them a boomer. They valued their youth above all else, because they themselves had nothing else of value.
Now they still try and act like they're the hip young trendy thing, but they're not. Their youth is gone, replaced by the next generation's. It's hilariously pathetic watching them try to act like they're cool. They are the boomers now.

You don't even know what friends are you think being a simp makes you a friend.
Still simps. Some do it for free. Getting paid 50K to make a guy millions a year ha.

when I was a little kid I thought that Tien could regenerate his arm because I saw Piccolo do it against Raditz lel

No, it started with the droids in the very first movie. Sorry you've just become a joyless husk of a person.

The corpo executive mindset is 'nerds will eat shit and buy it anyway so fuck'em' which is what led to the widespread collapse of nerd stuff like Star Wars and comic books.

I would start playing Fortnite if they added Microsoft George Droid and the Fent Reactor

Corpo executives are boomers stewing in their own rotting brains with one foot in the grave. It's not difficult to convince a bunch of senile old people that something is a good idea.

I did not finish reading your post.

And nobody is reading past this point in your post.

This time of the year?
It always happens

Is this how it feels to be old? Fuck this world man holy shit.

luv me prequels
luv me clone wars ('03 and '08 both)
luv me EU
'ate luke movies
'ate sequelslop movies
simple as

clunky shit is what came out of your hooker mom's cunt on your birth day

Filoni is getting control of Star Wars, bro

The Ahsoka episode with the World Between Worlds was the highest rated Star Wars thing either since Disney took over or ever

luv me clone wars ('08)

You are on this council but we do not grant you the rank of Prequelchad.

a handful of Filonitard cultists pack the reviews online

but did it bring in viewers

Listen zoomie, I know your whole life has been nothing but stagnant technology, but the Snowspeeder level alone was groundbreaking. There's a reason the Rogue Squadron games got made and it's because of how popular that first level was. Not that I expect you to understand.

Who the fuck knows

Hopefully someday someone will be able to crowbar open streaming services so we can actually see their numbers

'ate luke movies

So you're just a contrarian that has no sincere opinion about anything. Got it.

There's nothing wrong with not caring overly much about space vietnam, especially after you've seen a real galactic war.

Other than the funni AIVader, who gives a single fuck about Star Wars after the Disney buyout?

chuds, they never stfu about it

The only people who care about Star Wars are the people Disney is hellbent on ignoring or actively pissing off

Interesting

It's not difficult to convince a bunch of senile old people that something is a good idea.

Which is exactly why we need fucking term limits. Society is falling apart because of old retards like this.

I still can't believe Dianne Feinstein died in office. It's not so much "who the fuck was voting for her" so much as it was "why couldn't they find a replacement for a literal corpse in a wheelchain"

What actually happens is these companies hire marketing consultants to try and figure out what the market is looking for, what they like and don't like, etc., and almost all of that data is coming from social media now, Twitter (at least before) and especially reddit. These places are extremely biased, and only a very small percentage of users actually engage with content at all, so what happens is you're making decisions based on extremely narrow, incomplete, biased datasets. There's a lot of factors too, Blackrock is obviously one, but this is one that most people overlook. Companies like Meltwater get huge contracts to mine the selected-for redditors that haven't been banned yet, and they end up telling Disney that people want Finn, they tell Sony that people want Concorde, etc.

You're expecting a gerontocracy to willingly outlaw gerontocracy

willingly

The problem is you'd think the boomer execs would cotton on to the fact that the market research consistently doesn't match the reality, but because they're senile, they keep beating their heads against the wall. Consultants don't care, they got paid already.

I firmly believe The Last Jedi knee capped the franchise so hard, it's going to take another decade for it to recover. They don't even have any interesting battles or games to fall back on, most of the games take place during the original trilogy or in The Clone Wars. They just didn't write anything to captivate the WARS part of Star Wars
