He’s apparently made nice with Kathleen Kennedy. Makes sense that the Rangers show could be repurposed for this. Good on him, I’m definitely interested.

He didn't sue Disney and they'll obviously never say it but they have to know the sequel trilogy was a disaster so there probably aren't hard feelings about him saying so (long after it isn't commercially impactful).

If anything a Finn series could recast the Sequel Trilogy in a better light, kinda how Clone Wars made the Prequels better.

I will always say gently caress Disney for what they did to Finn. What an absolute waste of raw potential for an amazing character arc for loving space horses on a spaceship. I hope this is true.

Bismuth posted:You dont care about any of anakin, ahsoka, ezra, sabine, luke, leia, boba, omega (probably) or rey? I started caring about Anakin when he stopped acting like a teenager. Ahsoka's amazing character turnaround happened when she matured. Ezra was the least interesting part of Rebels. (which was close, he was neck-and neck with Zeb for that) Luke was the least interesting part of the OT, and neither Leia nor Sabine really read as a teenagers. Rey was the least interesting part of the sequels. Who gave one single gently caress about teen Boba?

I've actually wound up watching a bunch of Clone Wars in the wake of finally catching up on the new things, and here's something that's relevant to what the thread was talking about earlier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBpoZH6U1tY&t=163s

Ezra, Luke and Ahsoka all get way better when they stop acting like teenagers. And even then, none of the characters listed act like 2020's teenagers as described in that Tumblr or whatever post.

Dude probably saw Loki and thought if he could parlay a show's success into a leading role for a major motion picture, things would be rosy for him.

I dislike how Disney treated Boyega, but I don't feel like it'll translate into wanting to watch a sequel-series even if it stars him. The sequel trilogy left such a sour taste that I'd rather not be reminded that it exists at this point.

I'm game. I loved the prequels and TCW and BB severely and incredibly supplement them. Ahsokas story to me is almost as exciting to me as the complete story of Anakin. The CW finale and her confrontation with Vader are Rebels are so good! I think the sequels are awful from start to finish. And yet the mere suggestion that Nala Se being conscripted by the new Empire and the remnant Empires scientific interest in Grogu might be related to Snoke and Palapatine and now the possibilty of something interesting with Finn is personally enough for me to see if Lucasfilm can turn steaming three piles of crap into flowers.

On Star Wars dot com it is apparently been posted that Snoke is a direct clone of Palpatine that wasn’t powerful enough to hold Palp’s power and that’s why he’s so deformed. But he had the most potential of any clone at that point so Palpatine used him. I have not verified this. Also I actually liked The Force Awakens and thought it was a good movie. I thought Starkiller base was a little over the top and silly but it was a good set up for what could have been a good trilogy. I would be down with them reshooting episodes 8 & 9. Especially if they wouldn’t kill of Luke and he and Rey kill the Emporer together. Also the old meme of “how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man” really hits hard when Palpatine can’t seem to learn to loving stop force lightning when it is loving kill you.

They should just film an epilogue for episode 9 where Luke wakes up at the Jedi temple from a wicked nightmare and young Kyle runs in to see what’s wrong and Luke tells him about his hosed up Emperor nightmares from The War over a cold blue tiddy milk and about working through your fears in a mature way.

I know it doesn’t make sense what with R2 and the metal hand and whatnot, but I’d find it very funny if the person who picked up Grogu at the end of Mando S2 was actually Luuke just bringing him back into the Empire’s clutches.

Stoked for Visions. The trailer looked great. Gives me some serious Animatrix-like vibes. howe_sam posted:I skipped Bad Batch because I just don't really care that much about clones, but Visions looks dope and I'll definitely be checking it out. I implore you to watch Bad Batch, it will make you care about clones. In fact, just watch the Clone Wars while you're at it. Care about clones.

Starkiller itself would have been a lot more meaningful if it's relationship to Ilum was a thing that was clearly established in the movie in some way. Now it's just a retcon that's being added back into canon in various stories. Have Hux gloat about how the Jedi came there to find crystals for their sabers, and now the planet itself has been turned into a weapon to strike back against the Republic's ideals, etc.. Would make it something more than just random super-weapon planet.

Pretty sure that was a revalation unique to Fallen Order and wasn't actually part of the plan for TFA anyways. It was just "Hoth but Death Star!"

Cross-Section posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1F-6h50Y3q8 I get what you’re saying, but Star Wars should be about making you feel good, about the good guy winning even in the face of overwhelming odds. That’s its lane. I voraciously consume cynical, existentially troubling content as much as the next aging millennial and absolutely poo poo on forced earnestness and schmaltz, but Star Wars should be about making you feel good about being good and believe in doing the right thing. Which is why it is so aggravating when done poorly.

Yeah, it's unlikely that it came from the movie, but it was something that's been theorized since TFA-era galaxy maps were published that had the base roughly in the same place as Ilum had been previously. Pablo Hidalgo or someone else might have had the idea early on, but concept art for the base didn't have a specific planetary biome, and they seem to have settled on Not Hoth because of a piece of concept art JJ liked featuring a Jedi/Sith duel at night in a snowy forest.

Only tangentially related, but the Disney+ show Monsters at Work did a Wampa cave scene in Episode 7 “Adorable Returns” that I thought was funny.

There's something worthwhile in the idea that if you can make it through the bad times you will win out and be okay  Same here. The end of RotJ, cheesy as it is, is perfect Star Wars to me.

Instead of having Luke fall over like he's exhausted, it should have been portrayed that he had reached such a level of power that he shed his physical form. The whole "luminous beings" thing that Yoda speaks of.

That would be a lovely mirror image to Vader’s corridor rampage at the End of Rogue One.

I had always sort of hoped Luke would be the Big Bad for a sequel trilogy since I was little.
