dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

i completely agree with the meme -- i have no idea and i don't want to have any idea about star wars stuff

The Filoniverse is all the worst excesses of the SW Expanded universe stuff, just even less interesting.

Like at least when Kyle Katarn or Dash Rendar randomly show up in a SW novel it was at least kinda endearing if just as creatively bankrupt

Filoni is perpetually stuck in the giddy fanboy mode of soypoint-2 Star Wars enjoyer, which just honestly drives the slop even worse

Star Wars is best when it's basically a generic template to put a story into: Mandalorian season 1 is just a generic gunslinger western with a Star Wars framework, Andor is a generic space heist film, etc

His obsession with the Jedi being the ultimate good and his OC that he definitely has been writing fanfic about long before he became a showrunner is just fucking awful. The only good moment in Ahsoka's character story was her leaving the Jedi order after they fucked her over - everything else sucks

The fact that Tony Gilroy doesn't give a fuck about Star Wars definitely contributed to Andor's success lol
