Favreau moving to tv at this point seems like an odd move. I wonder how involved he's actually gonna be. Is he really interested in spending years running a tv show? I suppose this could be a Pete Berg/FNL situation, or maybe like Scorsese/Boardwalk Empire.

I suppose this could be a Pete Berg/FNL situation, or maybe like Scorsese/Boardwalk Empire. It'll be a streaming service show like the ones on Netflix and Hulu, so probably 8-10 episodes a season, and taking as much time off in between seasons as you want (like how West World will be airing in even numbered years). He can play around with long arcs inside a universe he loves with the kind of budget Disney/Lucasfilm offers, while taking occasional time off to make smaller more personal movies like Chef. Makes perfect sense to me. He'll probably be getting bored of making "live action" adaptations of Disney movies by the time this gets started anyway, since he's making The Lion King now. (Which is why I used quotation marks on "live action". Like, that's just a computer animated movie, right? There are no humans in that movie.)

The article flat out states it.quote:Lucasfilm is excited to announce that Emmy-nominated producer and actor Jon Favreau has signed on to executive produce and write a live-action Star Wars series for Disney’s new direct-to-consumer platform.

He didn't intend to park in the garbage bay, it was just the only place they could fit his ship. Actually, the toilet in Slave 1 was backed up so he parked back there so he could piss out the airlock with nobody seeing. Then the Falcon flew by and he went, "Oh poo poo!" and hurried after it.

Chewbacca didn't get a medal and isn't invited to the ceremony because he's sub-human filth! He can never catch a break.  (Is Peter Mayhew still alive? I know he's old as gently caress and don't move so good no more.) MrJacobs fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Mar 9, 2018 |

BravestOfTheLamps posted:"Human supremacist" is a fan theory. It's an after-the-fact explanation to try to cover for the fact that the Empire is hollow. This is the most hilarious post I've read so far. There are comments in the original novel about the Empire being human centric and you claim it's "Fan theory" made up after the fact, then as proof the Empire isn't anti alien you offer the (unique) example of an alien commamder (that is constantly refered to as an oddity) who was introduced 20 years after the first movie was released.

You seem to be very confused, The examples I used are Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, and the Emperor, who are all portrayed as alien. Even the First Order is led by an alien. The actual "human supremacism" in Star Wars is directed at droids, who are not recognized as human. This makes the good guys as "human supremacist" as the baddies.

What's remarkable is that "human" and "alien" are not opposites. All the human characters in Star Wars are alien by multiple definitions of the word (OED): - belonging to a foreign country: an alien culture. - unfamiliar and disturbing or distasteful - upposedly from another world; extraterrestrial - a foreigner, especially one who is not a naturalized citizen of the country where he or she is living: an enemy alien. - a hypothetical or fictional being from another world.

WEBSTERS DICTIONARY DEFINES ALIEN AS we see stormtroopers boss around aliens on tatooine and kill an entire jawa trading company just to cover up their war crimes murder of some farmers. they are disgusted by Vader's usage of bounty hunters, who are depicted as majority alien & droid. They are racist to chewie on the death star.

When the Imperial military brass finds out that the Senate has been permanently dissolved, they're not happy. They're surprised, and even worried. quote:Dude with no doubt extensive Wookiepedia article: That's impossible! How will the Emperor maintain control without the bureaucracy? And when we have the added context that the Senate is a multispecies assembly of people across the galaxy, it doesn't any sense for "human supremacists" to talk like this. The officer is afraid that the Rebellion will keep gaining support in the Senate, and is shocked that the Emperor would go as far as to abolish it. So even a top enforcer of "human supremacism" is expecting to rule alongside a bunch of aliens in perpetuity. There's a room full of human supremacists, and no one seems glad about "aliens" being finally ousted form power. Even the smug guy is just happy about the Death Star.

We know what it was like: the Rebels were gaining support in the Imperial Senate. There were enough Rebel sympathizers and potential sympathizers that the Emperor outright dissolved it, and by extension the pre-Imperial bureaucracy. It's generally not mentioned that this is also pretty good characterization for the Rebels: they had common ground with the Empire's civilian leadership.
