How they dare use sacred Star Wars for trivial purpouses
Damn monsters

Star Wars fans are nearing Sonic fans level of awful in my eyes.

 

[neorej]

Just sayin...

 

[Mordeccai]

That picture is hilarious.

As a star wars fan this is nothing new. Here's a clip of Darth Vader dancing to Beat It.

I would assume that someone in the family they are trying to help is a huge Star Wars fan.

 

[Akkad]

Hey Vader, you like the smell of my penis? Sacred property guys.

 

[neorej]

Hey Vader, you like the smell of my penis? Sacred property guys.

I guess that's one way to perform a Force Choke...

 

[SmithnCo]

Ruining the franchise by using it for trivial bullshit, haha. That ship has fucking sailed a while ago.

 

[storybook77]

Also, we've had Vader throwing out first pitches at baseball games across MLB ballparks but having him appear on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is somehow crossing a line?

L....O....fucking....L

 

[Dyno]

Right there you have the Star Wars Angry Birds Jenga game.

PIMPED OUT!

 

[LyleLanley]

Yes so bad, those evil charitable fans helping people out and building a house. But lets focus on the crazy guy writing a stupid uninformed article.

Huh? I'm all for the charitable star wars fans, it just so happens to be that most fans I encounter are more in line with the author of this article. Their always screaming about some guy or company raping their childhood or something.

 

[Stinkles]

Lol. Star Wars fans forget about the Christmas special, did they?

 

[pottuvoi]

We can certainly raise the christmas spirits and and enjoy it again.
Star Wars Holiday Special.

 

[linkboy]

And yet he still couldn't hit the dust particles with the broom.

 

[diamount]

Obviously with the clone wars ending, they'll take any job they can get.

 

[fallengorn]

Another article to bait people to go to a site? I don't see how anyone can get worked up about something like this after decades of heavy merchandising and corporate shilling.

 

[Nibel]

Hey Vader, you like the smell of my penis? Sacred property guys.

Most Star Wars fans wouldn't even fit into this #Shotsfired

 

[Mordeccai]

Palpatine, Jango and Boba, Darth Maul dancing (somebody please make a didn't read lol gif of maul)

Vader and Boba doing smooth criminal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsPgp_1j0fc&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Yeah, the series isn't sacred by any means. But I'll be damned if I don't laugh my ass off at these.

 

[Mariolee]

People getting up in arms without actually doing any research? Surprise surprise.

 

[Forkball]

Right there you have the Star Wars Angry Birds Jenga game.

PIMPED OUT!

Star Wars Angry Birds is the best Star Wars games since KotOR real talk.

The Starwars nerds crying over Disney buying Lucasarts are about twenty times worse than the Marvel nerds that were crying about Disney buying them. I'm one of those Marvel nerds and everything worked out tons better than anyone would have expected.


Same shit happens that happened before?

"Oh sweet lord! This is what we all thought would happen! Mah Franchise!"

Articles like this make me roll my eyes so hard they are about to fall out of my skull. Starwars will be fine. Disney has a strong incentive to keep their franchises strong, the Muppets and Marvel are good indication that Starwars is in good hands.

From most Star Wars fans reactions I've seen, the buy out by Disney is being looked at as a positive, with alot of excitement about new movies. But again folks like to focus on the vocal minority who are loud and make a spectacle of themselves like the writer of this article. All the major fan groups online were full of excitement at the buyout announcement .

 

[jtb]

Ugh Nikki Finke.

 

[Soybean]

What an idiotic article. Fortunately the commenters called out that the 501st is a volunteer group and that even if this WERE corporate use of the franchise, it's a pretty good one.

 

[GungHo]

Not sure, but usually the actual value on the home usually increases after the renovations. Thus higher property taxes, utilities, insurance, etc. I don't know if the homeowner has to trigger that by getting it re-appraised or if it is automatic, but it makes sense.

Generally, most jurisdictions with property taxes re-appraise annually via an appraisal district and will take into account any improvements made upon the property, along with market considerations, etc.

A brand new house in place of a dilapidated piece of shit is an obvious improvement... as are pools, jacuzzis, and the like. Basically, anything they can see from the street, via aerial survey/satellite, or from being perverts and peeking through/over the fence (and, yes, they do that, and no they shouldn't, but you're caught out either way).

This is possibly the greatest thing to come out of the Star Wars franchise

 

[G-Fex]

Star Wars fans are nearing Sonic fans level of awful in my eyes.

it's BEEN that way for many many years. In some ways they're worse than Sonic fandom.

 

[lethial]

Star Wars sucks

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Under Lucas we got this:

Vader selling Toasters

Yoda selling phones

Yeah, Disney are already ruining the "Sacred" Star Wars.

 

[btkadams]

OMG! They're not taking Star Wars seriously!

 

[AlexBasch]

OMG DEY RAPEING MAH CHILDHEWD BRB MAKING A 9GAG IF U WERE BORN BEFORE DISNEY BOUGHT STAR WARS U R AWESOME BARNEY STILSON TRUE STORY IF U KNOW WHAT I MEAN

I used to think that Trekkies were bad, but now I'm starting to like them more compared to Star Wars hardcore guys, egh.

 

[rezuth]

Are people forgetting how whored to death this franchise has always been or did they have some idiotic thinking that Disney the king of merch and the likes wouldn't keep it up?

 

[skybaby]

That's the first time I've seen a real life clone trooper. There were none in the prequels, all CG. Disney > Lucas

And what horribleness have SW fans supposedly done?

 

[AlexBasch]

Being outraged at a show using their characters to build a house for someone that might need it (drama bits added aside).

DISGUSTING.

 

[DrForester]

Can't hate Star Wars fans when they've made quality stuff like this and this

 

[G-Fex]

And what horribleness have SW fans supposedly done?

anything and everything.
