Star Wars is an unstoppable franchise. As much as I hated the bullshit that the two writers tweeted, We don't want to come off as the people we hate - and if our boycott attempts fail then we risk appearing impotent. Hear me out. I don't propose we do not fight the SJW narrative; rather that we take it over and assimilate it to our cause. Gamer gate redpilled many gamers showing them that the media had designs on their entertainment and that Marxists and feminists wanted to intrude on their beloved subculture. We don't want to become the no fun movement. And a behemoth like Star Wars, I honestly believe, is too big for us to meaningfully take on after Star Wars 7 in the same way as we did the ghostbusters reboot.
If Rogue One is actually a genuinely good movie in spite of the racial and gender factors, then we're going to have to let people enjoy it and acknowledge it is good, or else we risk coming off as controlling assholes who want to force our narrative into entertainment, even if this isn't truly the case. Just consider the image.
But we can't do nothing. So what do we do?
In the case of Rogue One, I recommend rather than trying a boycott doomed to limited success at best, we instead try to steal their narrative.
We turn the narrative into one of fighting against a corrupt Washington establishment, instead of one of "team diversity" fighting "evil white people."
But this movie is coming on the coattails of episode 7, and it is not going to be a flop even if it underperforms.
Best way to ruin their fun is to subvert their narrative and make it a fantasy of Trump overthrowing the evil Hillary Clinton and the corrupt Washington establishment. We come off looking like good sports this way, joining in on the fun.
Disney says the movie is apolitical and forced the writer to apologize for saying stormtroopers are "white supremacists" - therefore the stormtroopers are NOT white supremacists! The narrative dies if we only drive this one note clearly home.
Joshua Richardson
This. The first thread I saw suggesting that we boycott it just reeked of idiocy.
Matthew Rivera
Bumping for this nice idea
Easton Nelson
They're literally created so clickbait websites can have screencaps about how evil racist nazis are for boycotting a beloved franchise, for people to spread and like and virtue signal and show their appreciation for a brand, advertising the clickbait articles and the movie in the process
Camden Rivera
You're not wrong m8.
Luke Cook
This.
Zachary Howard
>good movie Thinly veiled propaganda written by Jews hired by a Chinese owned company. This shit exists to cynically push branded crap on a new generation of consumers.
Nicholas Robinson
Fire up the meme machines
May the Force always follow Trumps path
Caleb Brown
I agree. But we should target the genuinely shitty movies and point out how SJW bullshit ruined them (like ghostbusters) rather than try to fight a movie that is actually, realistically, probably going to be really fun and really beloved by a lot of people.
If we embrace it and join in the fun, even if it's in our own way, then we're "good sports" and "fun people."
If we try to sink it and fail, then we look like fucking losers and annoying assholes like the people who wanted to take boobs out of video games.
Kayden Morgan
Fuck you, we don't appease these fucks. We don't join in the liberal circle jerk, we fight it.
Boycott Star Wars.
Jack Sullivan
I agree, repurposing pop culture is where places like this excel.
Leo Jones
This.
I won't lie. I'm a huge Trump supporter. And yes media's anti white narrative is both cringeworthy and painfully obvious
BUT
I have to confess that I'm planning to see Rogue One because I love Star Wars so much. Call me whatever names you want. But I grew up with Star Wars and I'm hoping to God Disney won't ruin it by turning into fullbloen cultural Marxist propaganda.
They haven't gone that far yet.
They stated the movie is apolitical and that stormtroopers are NOT white supremacists.
This should be the focal point of our attack - stormtroopers are NOT white supremacists! If anyone doubts us, Disney said so!
So since the movie is clearly NOT a movie about rising up against evil whitey and not racist against us (which it would be if Disney had doubled down on their writers), then we can enjoy it too.
If boycotts cause it to take a small hit then fine.
But let's not broadcast our boycott attempts - what we should broadcast is how much we all love Star Wars and how it means many things to many people, and that for us it represents the overthrow of the establishment.
But in this case, we clearly know that the one thing it DOES NOT represent is a war against "white supremacist" stormtroopers - because Disney has clearly stated that if anything, it doesn't represent that.
May the force be with you, senpai.
Landon Turner
Mfw star trek is superior to your fantasy trash
Joseph Brooks
On the coattails of Trump's victory we risk looking impotent, petty, spiteful, and controlling if we can't join in the fun of a cultural phenomenon.
If it makes you feel better, boycott the movie yourself and among your circle of friends. Maybe Disney will take a small hit.
But now in our moment of victory, it isn't time for us to appear weak and controlling.
It's time for us to look fun loving, ecstatic over our success, and - dare I say - even sexy.
We're the new counterculture. The new "fuck your controlling bullshit" movement.
Embrace that image, even if it means that "your way" of enjoying Star Wars is going on and rooting for the Stormtroopers.
Disney has so normalized Stormtroopers at Disney world that I've read articles by butthurt Jews about how they "can't believe they were forced out of the fountain area by sci fi fascists at Disney world for a fireworks display, oy vey the same thing happened to my grandmother!!!"
It's fucking cool to be a Stormtrooper now thanks to Disney. It's good to be bad.
So let's subvert their narrative and make our own fun out of it, and be the bigger people.
That's just my two cents.
Ryan Rivera
Go ahead and post that everywhere. Let everyone know that Soros and Hillary are the "real" evil empire.
And if anyone says it's Trump and Nazis just bring out the articles where Disney says "Star Wars is apolitical and the Stormtroopers are not white supremacist" and the tweet by the writer where he apologized for making moms think their kids were playing with plastic future KKK dolls.
Brody Butler
Don't pay for this movie or anything from this franchise. For all I know OP and rest of replies are all shills.
You want better story, play Kyle Katarn games: Dark Forces and Jedi Outcast games.
Luis Robinson
I wish we had more dark forces games. But then lucasarts threw away all of their talent and we got "Kinect Star Wars" instead...
Carson Campbell
Will not even pirate that shit
Noah Bell
Do you have much trouble sitting upright without a spine?
Gabriel Lopez
Don't say the movie should be banned, just encourage people not to see it.
Isaac Richardson
>We'll never get another Dark Forces game >We'll never get Republic Commando 2 >We'll never get Knights of the Old Republic 3: The Return of Old Bioware
Robert Price
Republic commando will come out. There is no way they wont cash out on such a popular franchise/game series. It will probably end up like Battlefront though, half arsed game that looks pretty but with no substance.
Kayden Young
Why live? Haha but maybe someday...and yeah...I miss old bioware. Fucking SJWs ruining our shit. That's exactly why I don't want to end up like them.
Austin Scott
We should not try to force anything on the populace - eventually the populace will always rise up and kill those who try to tell them what to do.
We should only point to the populace the fact out that (((they))) are trying to control the populace through psyops. Psyop history is not as long as human history - eventually even the grandest psyop turns the tide against the ones who started the aggression.
That is the lesson of history: he who makes the first move eventually loses. (((They))) have made the first move.
William Nelson
I told you call me whatever you want.
I still want to change this bullshit.
Robert Hernandez
Do it faggot
Angel Young
You fucking idiot, 7 was shit. Disney-fied, Marvel-ized, quippy shit.
Jack Foster
Star Wars is a bridge to redpilling.
Children are attracted to the cooler and facist looking Empire.
The Empire insignia is the anti-safety pin.
It shows to others you support the preservation of Western Civilization, and are against the destruction of it by the degenerates.
Justin Parker
Episode 7 was too lame, and I have no will in watch this.
Liam Jackson
>Disney says the movie is apolitical and forced the writer to apologize for saying stormtroopers are "white supremacists" - therefore the stormtroopers are NOT white supremacists! This is just stupid. If the writers told that, they are. Stormtroopers is the translation for a lot of german troops, from the ww1 to the ww2 SA which Hitler replaced with the SS. They always used the ww2 germany style for the empire in the OT, and it got worse in the new one. There is no room for your stupid narrative. Tell them to stop trying to depict a race war with oppressive whites against colored people or whatever, and tell them to fuck off, that's all.
Hudson Kelly
How long till the ADL has to classify this a hate symbol?
Andrew Mitchell
fuck up faggot. no one cares about star wars
Carter Gray
Someones getting it, this needs to be spread about.
Show solidarity of the white race.
Hunter Reyes
Fucking Pottery
Mason Scott
Fuck you for saying dont vote with your wallet. Stupid kike.
Xavier Bennett
But it was insanely successful any way you look at it.
Jacob Evans
This. Even as a little kid I wanted to be a Stormtrooper or a badass bounty hunter like Boba Fett.
Luke Davis
Go for that angle then. Join in the fun. Be their bad guy. And look better than them while you do it.
Henry Sanchez
this reads like some analyst at disney was tasked with advertising on Sup Forums
if youre in the marketing department for real you should be fired, this is horrendous writing and shows a lack of knowledge of board culture
Parker Stewart
so show them empire strikes back, or the first movie not this shit made by disney
Liam Howard
Vote with your wallet all you want.
But when the media starts painting you as a petulant man child and it sticks this time because libtards are going to be out in force watching this and it's going to succeed because they have gay little anti trump fantasies where they are the rebellion, unlike the GB movie that rightfully bombed, then don't cry to me.
Xavier Torres
All the rebels die in the end.
Mason Morgan
only a shill would go to the trouble of writing this drivel at 5:40 in the AM
Landon Williams
Didn't you lads try the same thing exactly a year ago? Kek, good luck, kids.
Samuel Nguyen
Thank you for Correcting the Record
Lincoln Thomas
I know the board culture well. I fully expected these kinds of responses.
I just don't want us to look like a bunch of whiny faggots and give the libtards any semblance of a victory on the advent of Trump's inauguration.
Lincoln Price
bump
Christian Morgan
All this boycott shit is a publicity stunt, to sell the film. Same old, same old.
Brayden Davis
>>This nigga posting on my board Is this one of the writers??
Lincoln Brown
Remember this scene from the TFA?
Adam Hall
>and give the libtards any semblance of a victory on the advent of Trump's inauguration.
Who gives a shit about them. You're a faggot.
Boycott it, hurt them as much as you can. You don't have to go around screaming that you're going to boycott it, but you don't have to pay them money either.
Aiden Wright
There are street artists painting shit right now portraying Trump as the hero of the movie at the Hollywood premier.
The people in the Hollywood bubble are going to be forced to look at that, and forced to remember that no matter what happens in their movies, we won.
We should be in the rapture of smug victory right now,
Not in the throes of whiny bitch baby defeatism just because Hollywood did what it always does and made a successful film.
Gabriel Nguyen
so stop making threads about it retard, let the memes propagate silently.
this movie was doomed after the first few threads, go watch the movie if you're a faggot with no moral fortitude just don't shill for this shit here. there is no reason to shill for a movie unless you're a shill, so fuck off.
Justin Ramirez
Maybe I'll torrent it then. But I'm not going to give them the satisfaction of thinking this movie hurt me.
Brody Hill
>Not in the throes of whiny bitch baby defeatism
There's nothing defeatist about not buying garbage.
Submitting to the whims of your liberal faggot friends is defeatism.
What the fuck are you talking about.
Thomas Clark
Idiot, attaching the Star Wars brand to "alt right" shit will create a SJW hysteria.
Your not going to be able to succesfully boycott the movie because the franchise tag is so powerful.
The whole boycott was a dumb idea that gives the cucks a small victory.
Attaching it to the Nazis denies them that fire.
Luke Cooper
I dont remember anything about that movie other than the acting was horrendous Disney garbage
Now get the fuck off Sup Forums
Jaxon Russell
>But I'm not going to give them the satisfaction of thinking this movie hurt me.
Yea exactly. Always hide your power level, friendo.
>Oops, sorry i'm busy that day, can't make the movie guys too bad. darn.
Kayden Harris
The whole point is to get it trending that "Star Wars is seen as a symbol of the alt-right" and let the echo chamber do the rest.
Ian Clark
>Hey Herschel, give them something they want to read, make 'em feel good >No shit Moishe, watch this
Colton Myers
You guys are such pussies, I can't believe that this shit tiggered you harder than a white girl on tumblr.
Joseph Young
in 50/100 years people are going to praise this masterpiece of a movie
in 20 years drumpf would be almost forgotten,only to be remenbered by his hitler tactics
Colton Brooks
>But let's not broadcast our boycott attempts
I agree with this.
Silently boycott the movie, that's what I'm doing. You don't have to pay to go see the movie, but don't broadcast it and make a big deal about it.
This is our wet work.
We operate in the shadows.
Cooper Foster
Someone already started a meme that the Alt-Right is the beginning of the Empire, you know, the big bad evil empire.
You think we're fucking stupid do you Ezra? Go tell David they didn't go for it and maybe Michael will stop pressuring you to come on this board and shit it up like Eli told you you would.
Samuel Jackson
Its too early but hopefully we can do some jimmy rustlting by painting it as a pro-nationalist movie.
Jace Ortiz
Why would we fund our enemy's propaganda?
Aaron Gray
You're leaving out the part about how you kikes are trying to paint the empire as a white nationalist organization
Why would anyone here want to partake in that?
Oliver Green
looks like a scene from the next one
Lucas Parker
Your right it, if people thought the empire was seen a symbol of neo-nazis it would mean the stormtrooper toys and outfits would be buying your kids nazi regalia....
Alexander Gomez
I am not going to watch that shitty movie because they retcon my favourite SW characters. Dark Forces were amazing games and the story was much more enjoyable than whatever SJW shit they put out now.
Aaron Perry
I think you're right, OP sounds like a shill paid by Disney.
Kevin Ramirez
The Empire is similar to the Third Reich but also the Roman Empire. I think all three are cool.
Henry Bailey
I haven't liked a single star wars since the jar jar was brought in.
This movie is all hype meant to separate you from your money.
Has all the world's creativity dried up?
Still fighting laser guns with light swords?
That was 40 years ago...Millenials are doomed. I pity them.
William Jackson
Agreed. Anything we touch is automatically racist. We put our mark on this and they associate the movie with us. Let's photoshop Pepe's and trumps and hillarys, even putin. Replace the female leads with right-wing females they hate (coulter, palin, even emily youcis). Make gif's or storyboards with replaced text.
Just throwing out ideas.
Jackson Cooper
Have they fired the writer who said that? If not, who cares about their lame apology.
We need to fight back against anti-white propaganda.
Lucas Evans
Yrs. This is good.
Samuel Diaz
> >Honestly OP, I think this is brilliant. >I don't think we should completely stop the call for a boycott though. The boycott has opened some eyes and puts pressure on the studio, the boycott is what forced the apology from the studio. Without that pressure they feel free to continue their Marxist narratives. They need to be called out. >It should be a two pronged assault. One group, the more radical of the two continues the boycott, while the second group disavows the first and spins the anti-government narrative that you've suggested here. You can even post about it in normie spaces like reddit and Facebook without showing your power level. >It's what the Jews and the Muslims do. We can adapt their strategies for our own.
Parker Myers
Good idea OP.
I think we should do both though. Have those that are more radical continue the boycott while the others hijack the narrative.
The boycott is a message to (((them))) letting them know we are into them. It got Disney to reign in their SJW writers and got Jew Jew Abrams to release a statement before VII came out. It is powerful.
If we hijack the narrative like you suggest it's clean enough to spread in normie places like Facebook and reddit.
A two pronged assault.
Carter Jones
Who's actually going to see this movie? What defines it as decent ? Oh it didn't suck as bad the Force Awakens so it's good . Cuck me once shame on them, Cuck me twice shame on me. How may times are you going to fall for it?
Eli Bailey
>we who
Charles Perry
never heard of War or the Stars or w/e is this a marvel comics movie?
Nathan Ramirez
>They haven't gone that far yet. did you even watch that piece of shit movie?
Blake Edwards
People still go to the movies? You know you can just pirate that shit and watch it at home, right? Comfy, cheap snacks, able to smoke. They can't arrest all of us.
Luke Mitchell
Love the 'Rogue Won' movie poster, but not sure I'll see the movie. We might actually find that Lucas' quirky and weird prequels are actually superior to highly-processed Chinese films filled with Kung-Fu and multiculted to the point of being conspicuous and annoying.
Luis Jones
Im not going to see it.
Don't give a shit how hard and how many different angle you attempt to shill from
And no, I don't think anyone here's a paid shill, I think your Star Wars fans trying to find excuses to go see it while it's been made to directly spit in the face of your beliefs, regardless of the fact the Star Wars has been crap for DECADES now
Im not "boycotting" it, Im not going because TFA was crap and it's clear they aren't fixing anything about the awful direction Disney are taking the franchise, unimaginative and pointlessly politicised.
Brandon Peterson
>Oh it didn't suck as bad the Force Awakens so it's good That's exactly how they sold the prequels and the force awakens to the public every time >I was better than the last one >this ones darker
Ethan Cook
>We might actually find that Lucas' quirky and weird prequels are actually superior to highly-processed The contrarianism comes full circle
Juan Martinez
I miss Kyle...at least that game with the twi lek girl had him playing a part in it. Cutting Katarn out completely actually hurts me.
Cooper Campbell
Agreed. Don't even let them have their small Hollywood fantasy victory. Show them that we just revel in it all the more.
Jack Turner
...
Ayden Lee
We are doing that. We stomped the shit out of the new Ghostbusters.
But that was an easy victory because it was obvious it was going to suck and bomb. They didn't even have the sense to bring back the old Ghostbusters AS the old Ghostbusters and pass the torch.
They just created a gay little fantasy land where the Ghostbusters were always strong independent women who don't need no man.
