>Disney Star wars has weird cgi mush, not one memorable alien design
Forget the story being garbage, nothing else in the movie has imagination either
Lucas Star Wars had Wookiees, Jawas, Hutts, twi'leks, and tons of other instantly recognizable aliens
None of the new planets or species are even given names in the movies. You are just expected to know from the merchandise that Luke's island planet is called Ach-to
And all the new species are variations of ones that already exist
...
visually striking, and right away I remember he is a Jedi council member from Phantom Menace despite not having any lines.
What aliens do the sequels have?
I think Disney is afraid of prominently featuring aliens because of the subtle racialist implications of depicting a variety of humanoid, sentient beings that are distinguished by physical appearance and behavioral traits.
Of course, they could try to deracinate the aliens by portraying them all as individuals who don't fit any species-specific stereotype, but then why make them aliens in the first place? At that point, they'd simply be humans with green or purple scales and forehead ridges.
The safe, but boring solution Disney has chosen is to just feature generic, earth-tone aliens as background characters, but just enough of them for the audience to know they're in a sci-fi setting.
it doesn’t matter, star wars autists will eat shit until they die.
>the new faces of america
>(and they're beautiful!)
They all look the fucking same!
and thats a good thing
I just got done watching episodes 4,5, and 6 again for the first time since I was a child. Back then, I used to watch the movies every weekend when my dad would take me to Family Video to rent them for the weekend.
It was great reliving the experience, and I don't know why I waited so long to watch them again.
4, 5, and 6 will always of course be the best films. 1 and 2 had too much lovey-dovey BS and stupid crap. 3 was not that great but ending was cool.
I love the way the movies are in 4, 5, and 6. The way the AT-ATs move around and fall over. The Endor battle and all the traps the Ewoks use. They dont look as "nice" as today's films, but you can tell Lucas and everyone else really but their heart into it. Now it's like "Ok, let's see how we can keep things congruent, but also fall in line with 'the agenda'.
>Earth-tone skin, wide-set squinty eyes, droopy mouth faces.
>They all look the fucking same!
I challenge any fan of the Nu-Wars movies to name even one of these alien species from memory.
I don't know the names of any of the new aliens, but I can remember many from the original series..
Speaking of which, what species is Yoda? I never did figure that out. I never got into the expanded universe.
its like they took the sketchbook doodles of a inexperienced concept artist and just made them into final products
Yoda's species is never given a name anywhere
...
That's a shame
>the most memorable design disney has come up with is a stupid cgi penguin that exists solely to sell toys
I had a book about all the species and they didnt name Yoda's species. The reasoning being nobody in-canon actually knew.
Kinda funny. Found this on starwars Wiki.
For reasons unknown, George Lucas maintained a strict policy of keeping the history, name, origin, and whereabouts of this species unknown. When asked what species Yoda is, Lucas has only joked, "He's a frog." In the documentary "From Puppets to Pixels," he joked that Yoda is "the illegitimate child of Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy."
>enough of them for the audience to know they're in a sci-fi setting.
in a Doctor Who low budget setting
it's better not to pander to your autism just so the character can be more mysterious
It's a puffin, not a penguin, and it exists because they needed something to CG over the real puffins they weren't allowed to move.
Yeah it is
See here Yoda is a frog dumbass
Yodas species and the emperors first name were two pieces of lore that lucas maintained a total black out on, anyone know the reasons why?
[[And that's a good thing]]
Why not just CGI them out you dumbfuck? you can make entire worlds in computers and digitally erase mustaches yet you're saying they couldn't edit out a few fucking birds? It's clear they made these just to sell toys to the dumb masses.
what's wrong with Sheev as a name?
You'd have to fix the shadows too, so it's more difficult.
The Emperor was an important politician. He'd have buildings and monuments named after him. Could you imagine how stupid it would be to have Sheev written on the side of a building?
>t. alt-right nazis
TFA and TLJ were f*cking awesome, you just didn't get them. Try actually watching them but this time without being retarded. F*ck off, just f*ck off.
Episode 8 was the worst though, Just think about it, the Empire's military tactics have evolved for 1000s of years, they are experts in every sort of engagement in space battle. Yet when a bunch of the Empire's ships come out of hyperspace behind the rebels in Episode VIII, they have absolutely no idea how to deal with the rebels.
Why didn't a couple of the the Empire's ships jump to lightspeed directly in front of Leia's ship? Then the empire could attack from multple directions, wouldn't this be standard practice in this situation when the Empire has more than one vessel?
The rebels literally went on holiday to the Rivera during the battle, and fucked up the F1 race at Monaco, while the Empire had no idea what to do. F1 teams need children in the pit lanes as only a child's fingers can manipulate the small parts of advanced engineering, this is not exploitative at all, those children go on to have careers as pit men and whores. How fucking stupid are Star Wars fans? Even Lucas wouldn't have done something as stupid as this, this is absolutely retarded.
You're just fucking crying because Disney doesn't care about you. New aliens mean a larger galaxy. Just re-watch your precious prequels if you want to see MUH twi'leks.
because Rian Johnson was too busy being a smug feminist to actually think about the story
Neh, at this rate I doubt anyone will care about Star Wars in 5 years time
Lmao censoring yourself. What a faggot. TLJ was an objectively bad movie with absolutely no tone or logical plot, everything cool that was set up in TFA was retconned. But nice SUBVERSION and damage control soylette
>0.0008 mousecoin have been added to your account
The Force Awakens crew also killed thousands of endemic seabirds on Skellig Michael, and creating Porgs completely erased that from people’s minds.
second one on bottom row is from RotJ
Why not just fucking shout them away frok the filming grounds
Or fucking kill them like its Mao Zedong again
la creatura ...
>Kennedyposting this hard.
People intent on forcing an agenda generally aren't that great when it comes to creativity.
Didn't Sheev come from Lucas though?
Really makes me think
The funny thing is that individually these are all okay designs. Together with their wideset eyes and green-brown color palette they look boring as fuck.
Is this the power of Multiculturalism?
>f*ck
Frick off, you hecking loser!
F*ck off, just f*ck off.
its like everyone at the bottom is some 56% alien
Its the future, every alien looking similar after millenniums of species mixing.
lmeo
>can rattle off what race most of the characters on the top are like it's nothing
>can't even tell if most of the ones on the bottom are different species
The pod race in Episode I alone gave us more distinct and memorable aliens than all of Nu-Wars combined.

Apparently it only took 30 years of the nu-Republic to turn all the aliens into la creatura tier abominations. No wonder the First Order has so much implicit support

We can admit this guy had a good design, right?
Impressive

>Science has revealed what the average citizen of the New Republic will look like in 50 ABY, and it's beautiful
...
MFW the Crimson Corsair has a Red Twi'Lek and a fucking CLONE TROOPER in his crew and you only see them in a comic
Not a fan of the skin color but his face is definitely striking.
He is just a black dude wearing Grevious race armor.
Damn Kathleen looks like THAT? Chloe better start lifting more
You take that back, my wife's black son is called Sheev.
>We can admit this guy had a good design, right?
That's Finn.
They distorted the nose, mouth, skin, and hips but it still looks mostly human.
I will never forget the milk beast. Nor the porgs.
He's still retweeting stuff about womyn filmmakers and shit like that. i think we found a director even more beta than JJ Abrams who is nothing but KK's little bitch
I only remember maz and the nuns on the island. That's it.
