The thing that bugs me about Ahsoka is that Tiya Sircar is RIGHT THERE, they couldn't cast her as Sabine again?

You can be a great voice actor and not fit the actual character in a live action adaptation. Filoni seems like the type where he'd at least see if the voice actors would work in live action.

I kinda got the whole "somehow kissed the right asses and never pissed off the wrong people" promotion vibe from him that I'm sure a lot of enlisted and Nobles will recognize. My guess is we'll find out he was behind making sure all the widgets made at the prisons from Andor got to the Death Star.

No Mods No Masters posted:I find it hard to believe there won't be another canon reset some ways down the line, it's just inevitably entailed by endless trash storytelling. While the stories intersect, you don't need to watch everything anything else to understand what is going on in a particular show or movie.

If they make another trilogy of films they should put some sort of text based description of events at the start of the film that slowly scrolls allowing anyone unfamiliar with the story to get the basics

site posted:you mean the 30 years of books Disney had no involvement in? Yeah, exactly. Again, I'm talking some years down the line. New creative comes in and feels that same way, there's all this poo poo they had no involvement in hogging the primo story beats that *they* want to play with now. Obviously the implicit comparison here is comic books. When this poo poo goes on long enough people are gonna want to do *their* take on the origin story of X

Kart Barfunkel posted:I’ve driven a hard line between Lucas-blessed material and the Disney stuff, but counting 1-9 is simple enough, if arduous. I honestly think this newly announced Filoni movie is going to be the end of the "Filoni-verse". Not that he'll be fired, or anything, and I'm sure his characters will show up in other things here and there. But that really feels like it'll be the culmination of all of his stuff, probably ending Mando, Ahsoka, and Thrawn (I know he's a Zahn character, but he's basically a Filoni character by proxy at this point for non-book media). Which is why they're also pushing two movies at much different time frames, to hope to build out different cinematic mini-universes to gently caress around in that require less of a buy in. Because you're kind of right, when people ask me what they need to watch to know what they need to before watching Ahsoka, I have a hard time answering them. I want to say all of Clone Wars and Rebels, but that's a hard thing to sell people on. That being said, I can't get over how happy I am about all this. I'm like a pig in poo poo right now. I just watched an interview with Giancarlo Esposito where he talked about what Moff Gideon's feelings towards Thrawn are at this point, and I swear, I never though I'd be here. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Apr 7, 2023 |

Boris Galerkin posted:yeah also keep in mind there's a big difference between watching a show 1 episode a week as it airs vs watching 45 hours + x hours of rebels to "catch up to the story" I do often forget that working from home means I pretty much watch everything I feel like. I watched all of Clone Wars in a couple of weeks, for instance.

Sentinel Red posted:I only know who those folks in the trailer are through cultural osmosis, IDGAF about animation generally so never watched the cartoons (made a rare exception for The Dad Batch but S2 was so boring I’m done), and not any read SW novels either. In any event, a fun enough trailer I guess, am lolling at the blatant rules lawyering of bad guys with orange sabres (totally not breaking the rules with more Sith, nope sir) and looking forward to seeing the fat little droid everyone loves murder some folks. I am watching S1 of Bad Batch in hopes it picks up in S2, so that's disappointing. It looks nice, but it's so, so boring. I turn on Japanese subtitles to learn new vocab/expressions so that's mainly what's been keeping me going. I'll probably catch some flak for this, but I am also not a Cartoon Enjoyer and Ashoka as a character has always come off at least a little cringe, and this trailer hasn't done anything to convince me otherwise.

I'm sorry I know there's new Star Wars to discuss but I have to say the fight at the end of the last ep of Mando gave me "your two cousins got into a fistfight at the annual family BBQ" vibes and I can't quite explain why. Otherwise I keep flip-flopping on that episode but it's so drat weird that overall I think I liked it?

Officially throwing out the books, comics etc was necessary if Disney wanted any sort of established canon going forward, considering how much of it there was and how much of it contradicted both itself and more recent media.

And the ending of season 1 is another all timer. Do not give up on it.

I love how scrappy a mando fighting another mando is.Ethics_Gradient posted:Ashoka as a character has always come off at least a little cringe Ahsoka is probably the character I have 180'd on the most in fiction. When you first meet her in the Clone Wars movie she's a cringey preteen. I didn't like her at first, or the relationship she was forming with Anakin. But the sheer amount of development the characters go through in the Clone Wars series, and extending into Rebels, is ridiculous. And now she's the GOAT getting her time in the prime light.

The Disney Star Wars EU (DEU?) has finally gotten dense enough that I wish the Star Wars Saga RPG was resurrected and updated. Even Obi-Wan can be disassembled for parts, when it comes to fleshing out a campaign.

1)doesn’t have a good look for TV, I don’t care if you put her in makeup it’s not gonna work 2)her only live action roles have been some Disney channel poo poo from 20 years ago She wouldn’t even be considered by a casting director, now obviously she’s got an in with Filoni but there’s no way a studio would cast her to lead a show they’re spending millions of dollars on
