Dave Filoni says Stormtroopers suck

By ErikB, in General Discussion

Anyone else find it ironic that the way he portrays Disney in all this is exactly how he portrays the Empire?

From LucasDisneys point of view they are making people happy that their favourite clone characters are good guys after all, and not related to the minions of evil who can't hit anything and get beaten up by teddy bears from the OT. For most people they are probably right.

You need to be banned. As soon as possible.

For what, exactly, should he be banned? I ignore his posts, so I'm really asking. What specific violations of the board policy has he violated? If it's just because you don't enjoy his posts, Ignore!

The only problem with that is when he gets a topic locked.

The clones are the basis of those elite defenders of the benevolent Empire, protecting those that can not protect themselves. of course they will make them out to be the good guys. That talk of brainwashed, slave labour is just posturing of the villainous Rebellion.

Those are really nice looking.

I just really hope you guys are playing along and not sitting in a darkened room dressed in a stormtrooper outfit rocking and sobbing while clutching your Stormtrooper action figures to your chest and chanting the words to make it all better.

Cause sometimes I really can't tell.

Anyway, the Clones were weak and unnatural tools of the Jedi and insufficiently dedicated to the values of the New Order, which is why they were purged by the Stormtroopers.

And topic lock down in 3...2...

You wish.

But yea, the British Empire wasn't entirely bad, we did do a lot of good things too, and it now helps us even after the Empire, since so many countries are now run with the same languages and political systems as us, it makes it easier for us to deal with one another.

Ah, I love England, and I like the English (when we're not playing you at rugby!)

And agree about the empire. Modern revisionism is to teach it was wholly evil, but we did as many good things as bad.

Haha, I confess that in hindsight when I chose the phrase I was thinking of those further out from the Isles, namely Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and even East Asia.

Hey, none of those have to live next to their conquerors! ;)

And point well taken. Few things are wholly good or bad, and since time began, nations and empires have been doing bad things to each other. Ours was probably better than most in that regard.

You actually haven't SEEN Star Wars, have you?

Incidentally, the latest edition of the podcast in the op mentions that Disney have chosen not to renew licences for people to make slot machines based on their Marvel and Star Wars properties which were issued by the previous owners of such, on the grounds that gambling doesn't fit with their brand image.

Hopefully that doesn't extend to downplaying smooth Sabacc players like Lando, but you never know.

Downplay such an iconic figure? More Rebellion disinformation!

How exactly do you have him on ignore if you are constantly posting in his topics.

But, to answer your question:

He should be banned for constantly invoking real world tragedy and evil as a means of demonizing people playing a game differently or enjoying a fictional story differently.

Lando > Han Solo

He was always 'Mister Cool' for me.

Erik, what is this bizarre fetish you have with Disney??

EoE gives us rules for gambling, smugglers, carousing, alcohol addiction, hard drugs, criminals and twi'lek dancing girls. You'd know that if you, y'know, played the games and such, instead of being some sort of 'canon' watchdog' and Disney fetishist.

It's like 'Sin City', a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

The games are not going to be bowdlerized any time soon.

I see a topic with a large number of posts, so I looked at it. Then I see that many of them are on Ignore and I skip them, leaving me to read the large number of posts from those not on my list. I see those folks getting bent out of shape, so I encourage them to use Ignore so as to not to empower those that they feel are trolling. If you place such posters on your Ignore lists, i suspect that your issues with him will largely dissipate.

Obviously, but as you clearly see, the debat here is taking away from actual discussions of the game. The troll is actively and single handedly destroying the interaction this board should have.

P.s. I had no idea you could see the topics from people you have on ignore...

The solution to this would be to post more interesting topics for discussion rather than attempting to silence conversation that you feel has no value. Everyone has the right to post what they want (within the limits of the terms of service), but that doesn't mean anyone else has to pay attention to something that they don't want to.

No need to blow your own trumpet so much dude. You are not really doing anyone a favour.

You have no idea what I am answering to but you a. pipe in anyway and b. are adding to a topic by someone you have on ignore telling someone else to start more interesting topics instead. Please...

Can't we all get along?

EoE gives us rules for gambling, smugglers, carousing, alcohol addiction, hard drugs, criminals and twi'lek dancing girls. You'd know that if you, y'know, played the games and such, instead of being some sort of 'canon' watchdog' and Disney fetishist.

So Edge of the Empire is Star Wars: Sin City: The Roleplaying Game ? Awesome marketing tag line right there.

Can't we all get along?

I disagree!

Have superior ending music... seriously, it's unironically my ringtone.

Pretty cool images. I guess I never saw Vader as being that...visible though.
