Jar Jar Binks wont get one despite that actually being a plot point in the films and him being a wacky goofball

Pitching a solo movie for one of the most despised characters in the history of cinema is sure to cost someone their job.

It seems only natural to me that the Jabba movie and the Kenobi movie would be one and the same. But then again I should know better with how the MCU seems to have 6 movies for every stupid character.

To make the meltdown truly great make the only way to get the theatrical cuts of the OT be in a special edition steel book bundle with the Jar Jar movie.

In addition to Han Solo, Obi-Wan and Boba Fett, Variety says that a standalone movie about Jabba is in development, as well. :stare:
A Jabba movie would work if it took inspiration from the Tales From Jabba's Palace book I read when I was 10 years old, just an anthology film (within a series of anthology films I guess??) about various palace patrons

How can we even relate to the characters in the original trilogy when they haven't had their own movies to establish them yet...

If the movie is more about Jabba's Palace people, I want a behind the music documentary style movie about the Max Rebo band. Droopy McCool and his jizz wailing friends deserve the spotlight.

The Jabba film should feature the dumpy human Jabba being transformed into big green slug Jabba.

The movie was two weeks away from being done when Lord and Miller were sacked on June 20. It's August 23. Is Howard re-shooting the entire goddamn movie?

I know from watching the docs on the "Superman 2" film that a large percentage of film has to be re-shot by the new director to be "their" film. So if Howard had only come on to do a few pick ups, the film would still be credited to Lord and Miller.

Don't know if that's still the rule.

Having similar looking designs to show a design lineage is fine, and exactly what the franchise should be doing as it explores new eras. It's when designs are copied straight over with no or minimal changes - like the X-wing and TIE fighter of TFA - that it's a problem.

I agree on the TIE Fighters (Special Forces variant aside), but the T-70 and the T-65 X-wing are super different.

Most of the differences are in the detailing, though; the ship still has the same basic silhouette and design elements. Compare to, say, the ARC-170, which is clearly connected to the X-wing, but you can tell that the two ships are separated by quite a bit of time and evolution of design. The T-70 is more similar to the T-65 than the progression of TIE variants are to each other within the OT.

Still, it would probably be less egregious if it were the only one so similar. Next to the TIEs and the Falcon, though, the familiar elements are overwhelming. TFA is odd in that it has a number of original designs (the Star Destroyer, the quadjumper, Han's weird freighter) but never actually shows them to any great extent. Ironically, the most original design with significant screentime is Starkiller Base.

That walker is interesting. With those fangs and that pronounced hump where the main gun is, it looks like a feral predator, in comparison to which the classic fully upright AT-AT looks more like a prancing show horse.

The new Star Destroyer is satisfactory. It continues the evolution of the Evil Triangle concept, and the huge cannon on the bottom promises to make it useful for an interesting set piece.

They've both got big guns and they look vicious and dark. It provides some much-needed characterization for the First Order.

I hope they made Gareth Edwards write an essay on "making huge things look even huger" for the subsequent directors to memorise.

Calling it now: that walker will fall forward on it's 'knees' and spew forth lasers at ground level, thus making it kinda rad.
