star wars lore youtube videos will have like a thumbnail of count dooku and text that says “CAN HE EVEN STILL DO IT???” and then you get a video that’s like “despite being 80, the count is consistently depicted as having the physical and mental prowess of a man half his age. therefore, it seems highly unlikely that he would need viagra. things get more complicated in the disney canon,”

This is a long, but great critique of a lot of critiques of Star Wars.

- It points out (in a condescending, slightly annoying tone) how there are many, many, many film references in Star Wars. - It shows a lot of the artistic techniques George Lucas used in Star Wars, particularly how he deliberately repeated and reflected dialogue, camera angles, colors, and even specific shots to tell a story. - It makes the argument (using George Lucas quotes) that Star Wars was made as a “silent movie,” using visual storytelling (and music), and the dialogue is wooden specifically because George didn’t care about it. It was an afterthought. - It brutally tears apart a lot of criticisms of the prequels in entertainingly mean ways. - It makes the best argument I’ve ever heard that I-VI is the correct order to watch the movies. For example, the first half-hour of Phantom Menace explains who the Jedi are, what they do, and how the Force works. C-3PO and Chewbacca make more sense in this order than in the other direction. (As the reviewer points out, Chewbacca being a known ally of the Jedi explains how Obi-Wan was able to immediately walk up to him in the cantina. And Anakin making Threepio seems much less weird in this order. He also points out that the “I am your father” reveal is a much smaller twist than Anakin turning to the Dark Side.) - This lovely George Lucas quote about seeing Vader for the first time in Episode IV when you watch the films in order: “You realize that Darth Vader is this pathetic character. He’s not this big all-powerful monster. He’s actually a pathetic man who made some wrong choices who found himself trapped in the world of evil...you know, he made a bargain with the devil and now he’s living in Hell, and the only people who can get him out are his kids.”

- On the silent movie point--I now kinda want to watch star wars with just music, and no other sound. He points out that you can get a similar effect by watching it in a language you don’t understand.

I do think the funniest time to be in the Star Wars fandom on youtube (absolute hellscape btw) was during Mando S2, in the week between The Jedi and The Tragedy

At the end of her episode Ahsoka was like ‘lol go to Tython’ and every single shitty Star Wars channel posted videos like ‘Reaching Tython will be the season finale’ and ‘It’ll take a long time for the Mandalorian to reach Tython’ based on Legends Inner Core lore and black hole math.

And then the opening shot of The Tragedy was the Razor Crest over Tython

This is truly stiff competition for the worst case of willful false equivalence we've ever seen.

So, for those not aware: Ongoing embarrassment to gamers and the gaming industry, Mark Kern (former lead on FireFall), has been desperately trying to get Gamergate 2 going on X/Twitter... well after others have given up. If you need to get caught up on Mark, I recommend this video by documentary maker and experienced game developer, Dead Domain:

One of the latest fiascos in this mix has been the comparison of responses to character designs from Hades 2 (Aphrodite, left) and Stellar Blade (protagonist Eve, right). The post isn't by Mark, but is part of the general harassment campaign he's trying to lead.

If you're somehow not familiar with Aphrodite, she's the Ancient Greek goddess of love, lust and hot girl shit. It is absolutely perfect characterization for her to show up to a battle (or anything else) nude but for her hair teasingly covering the intimate parts of her body. But the buried lede here is, you don't fight her in Hades and nothing about Hades 2 indicates she'll fight there either, she just likes the aesthetic and has no reason not to indulge.

Stellar Blade will release on 26 April 2024, so we can't really give an informed discussion of her character. But what we do know is the studio head is the illustrator from Blade & Soul, Eve is described as being a member of "the 7th Airborne Squad" engaged in an "operation to reclaim the planet from the Naytiba", and the promotion material promises "an enthralling narrative filled with mature themes, mystery and revelation. Embrace the relentless pace, with no time to pause between moments where critical, story-changing decisions are made."

It's to be compared to games like Nier: Automata, Devil May Cry 5, Jedi: Fallen Order and Sekiro. And the screenshots look like this:

And yeah, unlike Bayonetta she's not supposed to be an unstoppable force of nature (and fashion) who is immune to self-doubt, she's supposed to be the scrappy underdog last survivor of her team.

Weird they gave her a costume that conveys... the opposite of literally everything they're supposed to be trying to tell you about her.
