Star Wars Memes

Define woke in this meme cos woke means multiple thibgs to multiple people.

Disney has ruined star wars if that because of a woke agenda or just shit writing it depends on ur definition of woke.

Andor is not on the same level as acolyte and it's not even close.

There's just so much shit now it's what you've gotten used to.

That said, yes, the prequels and it had their issues but they're still enjoyable. Acolyte on the other hand is a dumpster fire. I swear it was written by an ai, pretty much every element has been seen in Star wars before if you strip away the names.

I like campy star wars but at least come up with something new

Well, George Lucas has been gaslighting us about the OT for decades

Imagine your kid watches Return of the Jedi and asks: "Why did they make every ship's computer so primitive when they could apparently do CGI characters back then?" That will make you feel old.

Old Star Wars: Jedi is all about training, discipline, and resist temptations.

Disney's Star Wars: FAT JEDI.

Solo had L3-37 who was presented as being a self made individual literally and she was also humanized with her body and movement being less stuffy and robotic and more human. I remember people complaining she was woke.

Maybe it's woke to advocate for someone having equal rights or wanting to be viewed equal to people when the story presents her as someone who is self-aware, capable of emotions, and desires freedom. She certainly uses a lot of terms that I guess people who are worried about wokeness might find off-putting.

BUT, here's the thing most of the time when she says that she wants fair treatment or equal rights it's presented as a joke. Even her losing her body and the ability to freely move and pursue her own goals is treated as something of a happy ending. Remember the whole movie where she said she wants freedom and autonomy and how she's a self made droid? Well now she's shackled inside a computer with no ability to escape, but it's a happy ending because the audience wasn't meant to take her seriously.

So in that the context of Solo the people who were complaining about wokeness were missing the forest through the trees, when the only messaging that could really be considered "woke" was something that was treated as a joke in the movie. I wouldn't be surprised if people complaining about wokeness are just people who are upset if minorities or gay people exist and they use the term to hide behind and avoid outright saying it

(I'm aware that there's more Star Wars than just Solo, but I haven't seen all the new stuff and was mostly using it as an example)

I just wanted to see Luke in the role of obi wan or Yoda after decades of Jedi training be a hero and pass on his legacy by training the next generation. But I would have been ok with one heroic lightsaber battle, and a reunion with han, chewy and Leia.

Watching the last Jedi and seeing someone who tossed his blade away because he saw the good in essentially "Space Hitler" try to kill his own nephew because he was having a nightmare so out of character. Then having him overdose on the force and die like a chump, broke me. I left the theater in silence. The last Jedi is also the only star wars movie with out a light saber fight. No blades ever touched.

Star Wars isn't bad because of "woke" inclusivity. It's bad because the people who were supposed to be responsible for carefully curating and engineering both the past and future lore of the universe we're at the very best taking a maverick approach to storytelling and at worst actively trying to to sabotage the canon for the sake of their own selfish artistic pursuits.

I don't dislike the nu-trilogy because it makes an effort to include women and minorities in leading roles. I dislike it because it's an incoherent mess of a story that doesn't mesh at all with what came before it, and the only thing holding it together in the veneer of Star Wars, but only the parts that made Star Wars iconic and not necessarily the ones that made Star Wars good.

As the saying goes, go woke, go broke. That's law.

This unrealistic hypothetical includes way too much reasoning attempted with the "woke agenda" guy...

The original trilogy was hero's journey stuff, mythology for a modern age. Episode 6 was the weakest, though.

The prequel trilogy was an envisioned world - for all of its writing weaknesses, it felt like a living, breathing universe.

The sequel trilogy was lifeless. 7 was an okay start, and I actually quite enjoyed it despite being derivative, but 8 was muddled trash (how many times did Poe commit mutiny while they were doing the slow-mo chase?) and 9 was dreadfully mediocre.

And this is coming from someone who loves many of the spin-off media on their own merits, many even more than I love the prequel trilogy.

It's not nostalgia. Some of us just genuinely dislike how shit the sequel trilogy was, and how bad they did our boy John Boyega after episode 7.
