Star Wars 7 shit talk

fwiw the "cool" Star Wars action figure series (the taller, more articulated ones) are releasing a Rey action figure.... this month. and it looks a little janky compared to their other ones.

It's more "adult" in that it's actually interested in its villain as something other an obsidian slice of badass - which is not something the original films do until RotJ.

The last few posts seem to be coming from an alternate universe where there hasn't been a popular Star Wars TV show for most of the last 8 years.

thank you Phil <3

ftr i saw plenty of girls dress up as leia when I was growing up.

the ahsoka tano action figure actually looks pretty badass

We need a clone wars / rebels thread IMO

start it, you know there'll at least be the two of us

Omg @ that crocheted bb8

yeah, that's awesome

Has any of you visited a Disney park in the last five months? The new SW figures are ubiquitous. My five-year-old niece knew their names before she'd seen the mvoie.

mine routinely call kylo ren "the new darth vader" rather than his actual name / i think i have relayed this u&k info prior but it bears on current discussion

I saw a little girl dressed as Leia at Safeway the other day, just shopping with her mom like it was her normal daily outfit.

"When I was a kid everyone played Star Wars. When the prequels came out, all the kids played nu-Star Wars"

kids don't play anything anymore, they have no imagination

when i was a child

make that three.

also easy to forget: the newest movie came out last Christmas, there hasn't even been a Halloween yet.

When does that next movie come out?

We have a thread for that

Star Wars Anthology shit talk (Rogue One, Young Solo, TBD)

Star Wars, Clone Wars, Rebels, Oh My

kids don't play anything anymore, they have no imagination

they just lay in bed drooling while staring at vines on their iphones IIRC

Don't know if this has already been posted but fair fucking play

wonglingwoo!

That's awesome

Impressive.

tbh i thought Solo's death was cheaply staged and made kiddies bawl

wow what a colossal waste of time that webpage is. must have taken ages.

Sent the guy an email, told him to make sure he checks with you next time he does anything to make sure you approve.

thanks for philsplaining

I am loving that webpage.

Props for whoever did it for their hard work, but it's kinda boring.

I daresay the guy who did it will get some cool work as a result of it. I'm guessing Adam can't say the same for his contributions to ilx.

actually i've gotten some good work from ilx. some music videos. some songs. some cool stuff.

this is sort of cute, i will give it that, but visually dull. and i'm pretty sure competition for art & design work at Disney is tough and most portfolios would take a crap all over this.

this should be filed this under Baconing of Minimalism.

also tbh i feel like the standard for being above criticism on ILX has to be something higher than "the creator will probably get some good work from it." people get all kinds of work out of viral-ready mediocrity all the time. not everything that takes a long time to do is all that great.

I think the standard for criticism should be higher than "that took a lot of time." Smacks of "that guy had too much free time, right?"

Yeah okay, that's fair. I think I sort of inserted some words from my own reaction to the piece, which was that it was taking me an inordinately long time to consume and yet without producing any kind of joy or critical insight or anything so that I suddenly went "why am I still clicking forward in this?"

Yeah. Movie-converted-to-flowchart, while impressive, is not the most exciting medium.

What mental process led you from "will probably get some work" to "will get hired by Disney?" Serious question, can you read?

lol

I feel bad about reading Adam's posts in a monotone, lumbering voice but it sometimes pays off

I think the standard for criticism should be higher than "that took a lot of time." Smacks of "that guy had too much free time, right?"

well exactly

How about this: it took someone a whole lot of time to produce something that's kinda neat but ultimately really boring, and which 99.99% of people will never finish beyond the first few scrolls.

So it's like a self-published ebook that you give away for free!

If someone can get some animated-SVG AT-ATs going at some point I'd take that.

Tuomas just described most ilx threads

tuomas just described my phd thesis

he described the OPPOSITE of my college noise band "greatest hits" collection, though

i'm going to make one of these infographics that, as it scrolls, tells the story of my penis

Serious question, can you read?

serious question, have i insulted you personally on one of these threads? i feel like you are following me around bullying me. you seem weirdly invested in calling me an idiot at every opportunity.
