Between TLJ and the DCU it's lol how you got two major franchises completely derailing because they just couldn't possibly have a black man serve as the heart of the narrative even if that meant tearing it out and replacing it with incoherent bullshit.

thrawn527 posted:Yeah, Lucas was really into Clone Wars, at least when it started. There's some interview that I can't find right now, I think it was on Conan, when the show was about to come out, where he's describing it as a show where they can tell adult stories, but in an animated format, and it'll play on a kid's network, but isn't for kids, so he didn't really know how to sell it or who it was for. And Conan (or whoever the host was) joked, "Well I'm sure this will be a huge hit, then." But Lucas really liked the idea of using it to tell more stories in between Episodes 2 and 3. Going back a little bit, but I came across the clip I was talking about where George Lucas talks about the Clone Wars TV show, so I thought I'd post it. And I got the quotes basically right. Timestamped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfDE3eJP9vc&t=291s George Lucas: "It's very much Star Wars. It's not a South Park comedy. It's not a kiddie Sponge Bob Square Pants. It's sort of, the first dramatic animated show that is, uh, PG-13. So it doesn't really go on late night, it doesn't really go on Saturday afternoon, it actually doesn't go anywhere, I don't really know what we're gonna do with it. But we're having a hell of a lot of...we've had a great time making it." Conan: "Excellent marketing strategy. You'll love it, and you'll never see it." thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Jul 7, 2023 |

Maybe that's referring to this? That's been debunked - the only things currently known about the movie are that it'll have Rey rebuilding the Jedi 15 years after the end of Episode IX, and that two writers have already left the project.

I was under the impression the movie would of been Rey discovering if she even should restore the Jedi Order. Even the Galaxy at large seems to just hate Jedi or be indifferent.

Got to watch Return of the Jedi with an orchestra playing the soundtrack and it was just fantastic. Had been a long time since I have seen it and that was a fantastic reintroduction. Highly suggest watching them with an orchestra.

It has every potential to be a more interesting shitshow to mull over than star wars 9. Realistic expectations wise that's probably the most anyone should hope for

9 was bad but 8 out of 9 of the main title movies were good and that’s a way better success rate than Marvel hits I like our chances of another good movie The Star Wars movie genre is def not over exposed like comic book movies are also

There's absolutely no way Episode X isn't going to have even more ridiculous levels of retconning and backfilled story that changes the entire context of the sequels with it, if only to have an actual story to work with.

I kind of want Rian Johnson to start X so that JJ Abrams can come in for XI and squeeze out a turd on his creation. It's like poetry, it should rhyme.

They should skip to episode 13 so they can change everything and then leave it to some other rear end in a top hat to make prequels

Episode X (pronounced ecks not ten): Now that literally every form of governmental authority Republic or Imperial has been destroyed and the galaxy is in murderous anarchy, Rey decides to to take the Order in Jedi Order literally, uniting the Galaxy under her stern but benevolent theocratic rule.

Trilogy X - No republic this time. Just autocratic war games settling diplomacy every 4 years like the Olympics. Also set 100 years in the future but still including ST characters because time dilation or some poo poo

Funny how the films are going to follow the pattern of the original EU, with everyone losing interest after the legacy characters are no longer the focus and the creators failed to come up with any compelling new ideas. And they're both called The New Jedi Order.

You can probably get to 8 good star wars films but you'd need to expand the field beyond numbered installments quite a bit. 2 ewok films and ~3 andor arcs that are just films go a ways, but even they might not get you over the line
