no idea who said this, no context or anything really but now some speculate the other person might have been rian lol. who knows but fun to speculate.

@rey09

I just want to say that this is a really nice anecdote, and even though it likely does not prove OR disprove Reylo happening or not happening, what it DOES tell us is that *someone* feels happy and comfortable enough around Reylo fans who have done a lot of smart interpreting of the story to want to see the last film in one of the most important series of all time while sitting in a room with them. That should feel really, really great for everyone here.

I know this should go on the GOT thread, but I wanted to put it here where more people might see it. Should they still be making SW, it seems relevant. A thread about a talk D&D gave about the show, it's blowing up all over today. Lord, are they incompetent, had no experience, little plan, didn't try to understand the source material that much, took credit for other people's work, and have little to no shame about it. Highlights include:

Admits their first pilot attempt was a bunch of terrible mistakes and they don't know why they were allowed forward, or why they were trusted with GRRM's life work.
Also admits it was expensive film school for them.
Only through the actors and being mandated to make longer episodes did they really start to understand the characters.
Chose to write all the episodes themselves because they didn't know any better, and had no writer's room, would only hire writers if they would also be on the production team.
Actively took out some of the fantasy elements so it wouldn't appeal to "that type of fan."
Say they went too far with the violence in some places.
Did not listen to fan feedback, one of them doesn't see the value of other people's opinions. Odd, because I'd heard they did keep up with fan theories and actively wanted to subvert them so they could seem smarter or less predictable. Who knows.
Did not try to understand the major elements of the books, went more scene by scene. They originally didn't even do outlining.
A ten year drunk party?
Said it was basically a con job to HBO, didn't pitch or summarize the whole story to them, just the pilot and vague overview, were betting on execs not reading the whole series.

Just when you thought it couldn't get more eek, it does. Some people may not trust JJ, but he's sure not this, or Trevorrow, which is what we might have been going to, or might still, get for SW.

@californiagirl

So gross...ugh...

I know there is nervousness about Feige, so it's irony if Feige gets them removed from SW.

There are valid criticisms of Feige, but he is far more competent than these clowns. Moreover, the buzz about his involvement is more excited than D&D. So, regardless if they remove themselves due to their ego, or its DLF wanting Feige's project first (versus theirs, which then leads to their project dissolving), I'm now hoping this happens!

@SW_Heroine_Journey

I was (am) a Game of Thrones fan, but the ending did sort of confuse me (aside from Daenerys' story which I actually DO feel worked in summation) because I saw a LOT of things seeded throughout that didn't come to fruition, and I know I wasn't delusional or reading into things incorrectly. I can now sort of see that a lot of the depth in the scripts can be attributed to Cogman, George himself (who wrote some of the episodes himself), seeding that was probably present in his books and in the outline he gave them (and I'm pretty confident there were threads he told them that were set-up and then subsequently dropped for time). I still think they had a huge, nearly impossible undertaking on their hands, and I further think some of this lackadaisical attitude after the fact is self-preservation tactic. We'll see what becomes of them and Star Wars, but I'm not too worried because after the main saga is over I'm largely going to stop paying attention (that's just how I roll).

J.J. is not like this though. I wouldn't worry on that front.

Learning about the characters thru the actors is damn right lazy. I wonder what the cast think of it, it was their life and they no doubt feel indebted for GOT, I'd be interested in knowing their thoughts, esp Lena Headey she's quite opinionated. I suspect in a few years Emilia will be more forthcoming, though she's too nice.

But yea worrisome for SW, I've been assuming they will be doing KOTOR, which HAS to be done flawlessly. It has potential to be the greatest show ever!!

I'm afraid that our situation won't get any better. The best thing we can do now is trying to prevent ourselves from becoming an echo chamber like the forum that must not be named and bravely face the truth.

lookout for words like : wasted Ruined potential Lazy Now I dont feel this way but I assure you a lot of people will wrote:

Also looks like he interact with JW a lot which is always a bad sign. He posted about trailer (Exogol) and was wrong. Could be Ward's source or just believe in Ward too much?

@special_cases


I see, his tweets already caused chaos on reddit too. At least he seems pro Reylo, if he's an anti Reylo, the situation could be much worse. At this point, to be honest, I don't expect another leaker pops up to "save the day", since ViewerAnon already agreed with JP/JW's leaks, and ViewerAnon is the most credible leaker out there.


@spacebaby45678 he's not dudebro, he said he ships Reylo.
