Retro-futurism is ruining Star Wars

kek webm

I think retro-futurism in Alien is being slowly displaced, which is good. But in Star Wars is just goofy and stupid.

Also, you can still have laser swords in a futuristic setting, but they should be use when the strategy require them. Another big problem with Star Wars is writers don't give a damn about the importance and coherence of tactics and strategy, just "good guys win in the end".

Check

starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Auto-fighter

There are many other and more advanced TIEs.

The problem is despite both films / shows and comics / books being canon, they have no connection between each other, the Empire in the comics and novels looks like a complete different civilization (actually works).

>Le cunt children birthing hole face

She's one of the few good actors in the show though. Especially when you consider they hired her for a 5 minute cameo 20 years ago. Quite the payoff.

That's not what I was asking

And that cameo got cut in the final edit.

I swear, Lucas butchered his own work by cutting out many good scenes and preserving others that were very lame.

The EU explained the Republic banned things like sentient AI and genetic modifications, I am sure there would've been stories to discuss the early republic problems with SkyNet AI and genetically modified freaks. Also, the Force may play into it as well.

Excuse me, I forgot to add that. Yep, another thing that doesn't make sense

new secret TIE

got stolen

nobody cares

I think "Genius" Gilroy wanted to show us how useless and corrupt is the Imperial bureaucracy.

Also, the tracking equipment of the Empire is not very good, apparently, despite how "omnipresent and omniscient" it looks.

I meant she's a cunt hole who's only for birthing children and nothing more, my good sir.

EU: Republic ban stuff

wow this scifi writers are exploting the power of imagination, it's not like the same cliche used in the other 10k scifi universes to explain why all look so "current era"

this same people complain about AI stealing their jobs because AI "hasn't imagination", kek

it EU itself is show how third parties still developing AI and genetic modifications

in EU with the Clone Wars you can see how the Republic reverse its ban

in Canon there's no ban

the spic

he isn't Italian

wtf

The Empire has like a dozen different models of tie fighters. The most common varient is designed to be as cheap and mass producible as possible because the empires focus is on star destroyers being the primary force in battle.

The rebels rely on having superior fighters because they can't mass produce battle ships like the empire.

has the technology to mass-produce

has the technology to quality-produce

has not the technology to mass-produce quality (because "Empire bad, corrupt, lazy")

Star Wars not beating the allegations of being lame af.

The Empire follows the same mindset as pre ww2 navies that put all their money into building the biggest battleships they could.

now mind-control chip to turn Ghorman into fanatical loyalists, despite that technology exist

WHAT

The clone troopers all had microchips in their to force them to commit order 66.

Used Future is shit OP.

I partially agree, then you have the other half of Imperial Moffs (starting with Thrawn) pulling quadrillions into mass-produce quality, but you never see that in films nor shows, just in comics and novels.

Or, if there's a chance to see those Moffs in a film / show, they got ridiculised, like Thrawn in Rebels and Ahsoka.

Star Wars is not set in the future.

Used Future

The future as a place where blue-collar workers make a living doing unglamorous jobs and where spaceships look dirty, dingy, and used.

So basically cyberpunk but even more shitty.

Star Wars needs to move on. "Used future" is already overused.

Organic inhibitor chips are built into their genetic code at the earliest stages of development and grow as a literal fleshy part of their brains. They are genetic modifications to make them obedient, as stated by Lama Su in AOTC. It's not a piece of computer hardware technology, it's not a microchip. It cannot be implanted into adults. Pay better attention next time. And buy an English grammar book. Your posts are borderline incomprehensible.

Remember when clones were actual cool super-soldiers and not just lame conscientious objectors.

i hate retrofuturism in the alien franchise

At first I was bothered by this as well when I played Isolation but I learned to love it. Retrofuturism is really different than most aesthetics, it's really nice and I can't think of any example where retrofuturism is bad.

Retrofuturism as aesthetics isn't bad, the problem is when it affects the development of the story, the universe.
With the constant sequels, prequels, requels, etc. At some point it becomes too stupid to keep using it because no longer make sense in the lore.

Is it still canon that the Mon Cal star cruisers were luxury liners with guns slapped on?

still doesn't have auto-aim, superior humans (breath under water, autoregeneration, etc), solarpunk, AI-organic meritocracy

Well, no shit, dumbass. It's Space Opera, not an attempt to predict the future.

Fuck SWTOR, KOTOR and the prequels, Andor kino mogs them all.

When "Space Opera" became a synonym of lame scifi?

2001: Space Odyssey

also space opera

tries to predict the future in a coherent way for the technology of the times was filmed

smash the shit out of Star Wars

Try again, anon.

stormtrooper armor

it's awful

Ok anon.

That's not Star Wars and anyone over the age of 7 watching it should be deeply embarrassed.

Your opinion is gay and you should feel gay

If there is a good explanation for it then it's a small price to pay.

Prequels annihilate the entire technological and aesthetics canon of the Ep VI, spin-offs and Sequels.

/thread

The issue is that when you create a setting with a certain tech level it will break immersion if the later entries that are ostensibly set around the same time but produced decades later have inexplicably more developed tech. You pretty much have to commit to the level of tech you started with.

I just watched the show for Krennic and skip the scenes where Krennic doesn't appear

That's kind of respectable, but you're missing out.

now we level anything as genocide

Anon they destroyed their planet, do you really think they relocated the population they were just starting to exterminate?

Space France

I don't know if you don't know this OP. But SW is science -fantasy, not science fiction.

Again anon, there's no good explanation IN-universe for them in Star Wars.

You can read abou Lord Darth Tenebrous (master of Darth Plagueis) going full tech-accelerationist, claiming that technology will surpass the Force, it's just a matter of time.

What speech?
It don't watch shitty cartoons

Fantasy -> sci-fantasy -> scifi -> sci-possibility -> reality.

'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.' - Arthur C. Clarke

do you really think they relocated the population they were just starting to exterminate?

check guides about the Imperial tech available

Yes, I think they could. They could use the "bio-hazard" menace to relocated the population, but because low-IQ normies must see for the 5k time the "Empire evil", they did all that.

Ironically you can see those same normies saying that Gilroy "de-cartoonised" the evilness of the Empire, kek.

but you're missing out.

check some random scene where Krennic doesn't appears

boring, has the awful blue-greyish filter, green/blue screen is too evident

has to suffer again the "Empire bad, Old (Weimarish) Republic good speech"

C'mon, anon.

Yes, I think they could.

Lol
Fucking idiot. You either watch the show or stop talking garbage

It's just my boss blowing his brains out, chill.

solarpunk

Stop using that you NPC. The -punk suffix is for settings that are less than utopian.

Yes, I think they could

At least watch the Ghormon meeting, Krenic is in it, I promise it's good.
The "bio-hazard" scenario is covered with a throwaway line, but if you think about it

manufacture biohazard

somehow it goes perfectly, everyone leaves

start strip mining the planet

people notice

there's still a Ghorman population with wealth and political power around that can start shit elsewhere in the galaxy
