Also, I know I was laughing with everyone else when Traviss' bullshit got retconned by the series, but recent seasons have started to throw out some of the few bits of the EU that I actually like.
To top that off, i'm worried that the switch to disney could be a serious shark-jumping moment for the series.

I'm probably just overreacting due to the Disney="kiddie" meme that's been around since forever, but I just can't shake the bad feelings over the switch. I'll admit that there's probably nothing to worry about.Flagg wrote:Disney made the pirates of the Carribean movies, owned the company that made every fucking Tarantino movie as well as ABC which had such kid friendly shows as Lost. So anyone who thinks they are going to force Lucasarts to change something that's working quite well for them is a goddamned idiot.
lololololi think i could rob a convenience store. i'd go in there and they'd call the police. when they give the description, they'd say "Well he looked like Pat Sajak"
so they'd be looking for a guy who looks like me, not me, because why would i rob a convenience store?
i think i could get away with it
Eh, even Cartoon Network has censored some stuff here and there.Flagg wrote:Disney made the pirates of the Carribean movies, owned the company that made every fucking Tarantino movie as well as ABC which had such kid friendly shows as Lost.

Nobody's taking away those comics, they still exist. And unless you're in the VS debate or a Wookieepedia Canon Nut the retcons don't really matter. If you liked the old stories you can always read them again. The whole canon/continuity thing is highly overrated* anyway.Darksi4190 wrote:As for overruling continuity, the only thing they've really done that I don't like was kill off Adi Gallia, which indicates that they are going to overrule the Dark Horse Republic/Empire/Rebellion line of comics, which are some of my favorite parts of the EU.
I'm pretty sure that had more to do with FCC standards than anything else.RogueIce wrote: Eh, even Cartoon Network has censored some stuff here and there.

Isn't Cartoon Network technically exempt from that stuff, being a cable network? I know that only HBO, Showtime and the other movie channels are the ones who actually use that to their advantage (though TNT and USA have stopped bleeping "shit" though they won't go so far as "fuck" apparently), but strictly speaking CN doesn't have to worry, do they? It's basically up to whatever standards they set for themselves.Zod wrote:I'm pretty sure that had more to do with FCC standards than anything else.RogueIce wrote: Eh, even Cartoon Network has censored some stuff here and there.

i don't believe there's any federal requirement, but they still have to placate cable and satellite companies who don't want to lose subscribers b/c johnny pisspants' mommy got angry about dumb shitRogueIce wrote: Isn't Cartoon Network technically exempt from that stuff, being a cable network?

Unless there's some "well it's 'animated' and 'for children'" rule I don't know about.
No. The FCC does not control cable television content. Have fun being an ignorant jerkoff.Zod wrote:I'm pretty sure that had more to do with FCC standards than anything else.RogueIce wrote: Eh, even Cartoon Network has censored some stuff here and there.

also joe lieberman would probably start to make noises about regulating satellite and cable if they went hog-wild
that said it boggles me that the Daily Show censors their swears. they're on at like 11 PM on comedy central. what the fuck
