Yeah that owns. With Disney wanting to milk anything, odds of Alden Ehrenreich appearing in it at some point?

Neo Rasa posted:Yeah that owns. I still actually want a Solo sequel. I do not want a Cassian Andor series, but hey, I'm open to the idea of it being good. Speaking of milking anything, what are the odds that Disney doesn't somehow include the Skywalkers in a future series, somehow?

I think there is a high chance of them continuing some of the dropped threads from Solo in the Kenobi series, but the Cassian series would be a good place for that. I just want more of Crimson Dawn and whatever the gently caress Maul was doing as a crime boss.

I'm a bit wary of a Cassian Andor series owing to the required endpoint of Cassian being the cold killer of Rogue One.

It's kinda hilarious that Solo seems to be the Disney SW project where they did the best job setting up a sequel...

I didn't care for Solo at all, but would be down for a sequel since all the prequel poo poo is out of the way and we can just watch Han and Chewie do Han and Chewie stuff. No wasted time showing here's how Han got his name, here's how he met Chewie, here's how Chewie got his name, here's how he got the Falcon etc.

Ammanas posted:a rogue squadron series would require a lot of expensive cgi, battles and whatnot Battlestar is almost 20 years old at this point and had a bunch of starfighter stuff that still looks decent on probably a much lower budget than something like Mando. The tech has only gotten better since then and they have ilm at their disposal. There's no reason it couldn't work.

I guess they’ll just have to make a new rogue squadron game which they can also use for space battles in a companion rogue squadron TV show.

Ammanas posted:a rogue squadron series would require a lot of expensive cgi, battles and whatnot The idea of setting up giant, super high resolution screens for exteriors built in Unreal and plugging the rendering PCs into the camera so it can track the movement properly and render changes in angles and pans accurately is one of the more brilliant steps forward I've seen in quite a while. Proper lighting, being able to do fast passes for green screens by just literally tapping on an iPad, making a section of screen green and then doing another pass so in the later post work an animator can just pop the background back in, exactly as it was ten seconds before and ten seconds after that green screen pass was done on that day, it's all making for a fascinating toolset that is kinda bringing VFX back "in-camera". I could not get into the Mandalorian at all, but the behind-the-scenes stuff is some of the most interesting stuff I've seen anyone do in years. It's the next level of the Sin City/300 virtual set idea, a jump ahead of the Avatar "Volume" idea where the background exists in the viewfinder and video village but not for the actors; the tools are put directly into the filmmaker's hands rather than being left to post where outside forces can insert themselves, you're not hunting for some perfect location to serve as a background plate, you only have to build what you need or want a character to interact with, it's like matte paintings left as Murphy and came back as Robocop. Does it work in every situation? Of course not. Not yet, anyway. But that's the key word. Yet. And it's something that helps everyone, an actor can turn their head and feel like, "hey, I'm in an actual place, not in front of a bunch of green tarp". And yeah, it definitely makes things much, much cheaper/allows you to concentrate your budget elsewhere.

The Mandalorian's budget was something like 100M for the season so I don't know where the idea that it was cheap is coming from.

The Mandalorian was very expensive but from what I've watched of it so far (the first 6 episodes, which is what's been released in the UK) it's shockingly ugly. Shots are consistently dark and muddy looking, and not in a good way. Can't tell the difference between anything on screen when it's dark, which it is about half the time. The Tatooine episode was a particular low point (although it didn't help that it was boring and felt like a fan film).

The Tattooine episode should have just been the spaceport owner trying to keep Baby Yoda out of trouble while the Mandalorian's away having an off-screen adventure.

It was dark for some scenes but it was not muddy or hard to follow for me. Might be worth checking the tv brightness. Adjust until baby Yoda is barely visible.

Everything else I've ever watched looks fine, it's basically just this. The daylight scenes often look like they've got a grey filter over it too so I'm pretty confident it's The Mandalorian rather than my TV.

I agree that the Tatooine episode looked kind of muddy (which was probably the point, but it doesn't help, and it's the only episode of the show that doesn't quite work for me), but the rest of the show looked fantastic to me, so I don't really get the complaint. It's supposed to look dark and dirty, it's a Western in space. They're in the backwaters of the galaxy, not Coruscant. Even in the Tatooine episode, though, I didn't have trouble telling the difference between things on screen, though. That's weird. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Apr 21, 2020 |

Looks alright in the daytime scenes though. thrawn527 posted:It's supposed to look dark and dirty, it's a Western in space. I'm not particularly convinced by this, due to the sheer number of Westerns that look Good Actually. You can tell the characters in Sergio Leone's films are caked in dirt and sweat but the camerawork is still beautiful. Not expecting the show to be quite at that level but at least approaching as nice looking as the desert scenes in Star Wars (1977) would be a start.

Yeah the show IS dark and dirty but I had zero issue with it looking muddy or hard to discern or anything.

I noticed a lot of the outdoors stuff seemed oddly blown out, but most of it was shot in an LED soundstage with false backgrounds, so it might be a byproduct of the technology.
