A Zack Snyder directed Star Wars one-off would probably be pretty cool.

A Snyder-directed Star Wars sounds like an exciting new way to piss off nerds. I'm all for it.

They did a Seven Samurai episode of The Clone Wars too. I'd love to see a live action Star War do it.

To an extent that was the AT-ST episode.

They did two in Clone Wars, I think. And as stated, Mandalorian already did one too.

Snyder's such a nerd, I wouldn't be surprised if this was specifically what he wanted to do.

Crossing the comic book movie and star wars streams is exactly his kind of guaranteed controversy poo poo, too.

I was just reading about the Buddhist crisis in Vietnam and that led me to Diem’s Order 46- was that the inspiration for Order 66? Seems pretty plausible.

legit, if you look into the source, it's the same as what's been said for the past few years. an interview someone asks rian if his trilogy is happening, he says it is but that there's no dates or plans or whatever

"The Acolyte" is the only tv show that was announced (other than the obi show) that sounded like it could be different enough to be interesting and that's apparently pre-prequel

Is funny how everyone rightly calls out Hollywood blockbusters, especially Disney's, for being so risk-averse and by the numbers, but the funny thing is, it's that terror of failure and running away from risk that ends up making movies even more risky than doing something different, because it ends up making such stupid decisions and combining bad and bland in ways that are guaranteed to piss everyone off.

Threepio tells Owen that he's programmed and can talk to labor-intensive droids so presumably that is where his "human-cyborg relations" comes in. Gonks and Artoos don't have human speech and even the Falcon and Death Star have some kind of droid-only form of communication.

Maybe it's on a placement somewhere but I don't remember what shmi actually does as watto's property. Presumably he thought threepio would help her with that, and maybe it involves programming other robots. But then again anakin is a 9 year old only child so it's hard to take "when I finish my robot friend he can help mom" at face value

Isn't she just there to support Anakin for Watto? Between the podracing and the mechanical skill he seemed like the moneymaker.

Watching The Director and the Jedi is a lot of fun because at every step they're like "we don't have the budget for this" "this doesn't feel like Star Wars" "should we do this thing that doesn't make sense?" and every time the answer is a baffling "let's keep going anyway"

The embodiment of "There is a point where we needed to stop and we have clearly passed it. But let's keep going and see what happens."

Yeah it rules. Rian imagined a green milk space manatee and got disney to pay for the construction of a green milk space manatee

Ta gueule, laisse-moi finir.
This is a really stupid question, but is the Mandalorian and the upcoming tv shows meant to tie into the sequel trilogy at some point? As in, do they definitely exist in the same timeline?

I binged the Mandalorian last month and it rebooted my Star Wars appreciation, but I feel behind on everything with the direction of the new canon universe.

I think it's been pretty decisively demonstrated that the main thing the TV creatives care about plot continuation wise is the cartoons, so if you know what happened in those you're fine. The sequel trilogy is canon in theory but not in practice and everyone would prefer you forgot about it ever happening in the first place, I'd say

The takeaway from the handling of the sequels and the tv shows is that having the star war play on in the background of personal stories is more interesting than actually wrapping up the star war. Weird that it took them so long to figure this out considering it's the entire conceit of the opening sequence of "Star Wars"
