Star Wars Tales of the Empire - May 4th 2024 (Disney+)

[chrisstbh]

Depends how it is used. "They said xxxxx" is normal, "They is a xxxx" is not (one is correct, the other is modern pronoun nonsense and an assault on grammar).

I have not watched the show so have no idea if it is the former or the latter. If the former, then much ado over nothing, if the latter then folk should be allowed to complain.

Grogu is referred to as “it” multiple times, more woke agenda .

All they said was “they’re in the mountains”, “they’re still alive” “let them die”. It’s some random Jedi they have 0 connection with and had no idea who they were prior to finding them.

Did they really make a character with they/whatever pronouns in this show? Pretty nonsensical to think ruthless Jedi killers would have the decency to use those pronouns.

They're bad guys, but they're not arseholes!

So not modern pronouns nonsense. If all they did was use they/them the correct way (same as it for non human grogu) there isn't anything for folk to get their panties in a bunch over.

Well, the people who like to impose on others and introduce what are practically thought crimes are the bad guys usually so perhaps it would be fitting for the Empire to start imposing made up pronouns and attacking any rebel who refuses to comply. It's like poetry, it rhymes

I just looked up the clip.

*Fourth Sister stabs male Jedi*

Fourth Sister: It's finished.

Bariss: They're still alive. We need to get them to the ship. We can save them.

Fourth Sister: Forget it. Let them die. It's not worth the trouble.

Bariss: They were about to surrender!

Fourth Sister: Irrelevant. The Jedi are a threat.

I guess it's not the end of the world but it's clear what they were intending, although to be honest I think I'm more annoyed that Disney was trying to have yet another person get sabered and survive.

To be fair, it wasn't a stabbing but a slashing. Much like Finn in The Force Awakens.

In Finns case ze was slashed in zirs back at spine but away from zirs organs. Was they slashed at the back also or at the front?? If the back maybe they could survive with modern Star Wars logic

Okay so I haven’t watched Ahsoka yet and didn’t realize the Elsbeth character is central to season one. Also kind of forgot her in The Mandalorian.

When I attempted to watch Ahsoka (I scanned through most of the Sabine and Ezra crap), I didn't realize she was the same character from Mando... I thought Elsbeth was a completely new character until pretty far into the show when it finally clicked.

To be fair, her flight to prison after being defeated in the Mandalorian took a very long time, even she forgot she was in it by then.

 

[Shai]

Well, guess Xi wont be watching that crap.

Apparently. People have referred to others as they long before the whole non-binary thing, both in real life and media. It’s not that deep, 0 reason to get worked up over it.

But I’m sure those neckbeard ragebait Youtubers are all crying their saltiest tears over it.

Its not about being "worked up." Its about the fact yes I said fact, that it seems much of this stuff is being made with the specific intent of showcasing these issues, these issues matter more than SW, they matter more than the plotline, everything takes a back seat to the they/them crowd. You know right now that this is gonna be ALL OVER The Acolyte. It seems to be that this is what SW is about now.

I am a tolerant person and I dont much care about other ppls sexuality unless Im planning on getting into a bed with them. But this bullheaded insistance of having this stuff shoved up our collective noses EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY is getting to be way more than enough. I am tired of being told that alternative sexuality is the most important thing about one, its almost fetishized.

You can downtalk the Bad Batch all you want, rhetorically speaking but at least you could watch that and not have this issue shoved up your nose constantly. I will give it that much. It was greatly appreciated.

I DONT NEED TUTORING ABOUT SEXUALITY FROM DISNEY OR ANY COMPANY ON THESE ISSUES. if that makes me a Neckbeard Ragebait Youtuber so be it. This insistence on everyone else's reverance to these issues actually ends up turning allies into enemies. I have spoken. *gets off soapbox*

 

[chrisstbh]

You seem pretty worked up there .

This instance Tales of the Empire is not as deep as it’s been made out to be.

We’ll see about The Acolyte when it actually comes out. Who knows. It could actually have a story worth telling, or it could just be another Disney product.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Vader force chokes 'they'...

 

[davejames]

So I guess we're just picking up where we left off in the closed Acolyte thread? This is why we can't have nice things.

 

[a-dev]

Do people report this stuff or is it just that mods would happen to be in these threads anyway?

 

[Wor-Gar]

I reported Star Wars to the mods... but they did nothing.
