I think it’s definitely safe to say then, that what Burnett read on YouTube is 100% what Trevorrow was looking to make before that Jack Thorne draft came in, and then he left/got fired. If the only thing he’s commented on is that stuff in the art book isn’t referring to his drafts, and is no-commenting THE ACTUAL DRAFTS, especially considering how quick he was to deny credit for the Jack Thorne draft…
Episode IX: Duel of the Fates was almost the last chapter in the Skywalker Saga. Pretty crazy.
Speaking of YouTube - I almost checked out that MauLer guy, after seeing someone on another forum I visit link to a funny back and forth on his twitter and going “oh yeah, he’s a youtuber, the Original Trilogy guys seemed to vouch for him.” So I followed the link and looked at his profile and… He basically just stalks some other YouTuber called “MovieBob” and a critic named Patrick H. Willems. That seems to be the last two straight weeks of his twitter feed, at least. I scrolled down for awhile and he’s just making fun of “MovieBob’s” weight and Willems’ intelligence and screencapping tweets by a YouTuber named Jenny Nicholson, who I guess has already blocked him. I know I got called out earlier for “judging a book by its cover” but it really seems like he’s a pretty toxic media personality, to me. Nothing but personal attacks on other people and angry tweets about people not liking things the way he wants people to like them.
But I guess liking things and focusing on the things you like don’t get your Patreon numbers where they need to be…
Yeah I watched Mauler’s video and thought it was pretty stupid. He compares Kelly Marie Tran to Shrek, refers to the Force as “the gay,” and is constantly using really immature insults. I’m not exactly a huge fan of TROS, but his video was terrible, and it’s not surprising he’s obsessively harassing other YouTubers who are actually talented.
