I don’t think anything in BF2 and Operation Cinder directly contradicts the sequels. And a lot of that was done coordinating with the Lucasfilm story crew. The more I think about it, the more I think the new-canon embargo was on the Prequel->Episode IV timespan.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:Actually I'm curious if there is a specific directive to avoid doing anything in the same timeframe as the original trilogy, or if it's just always been "but we can see what happened in a different time!" They've done lower profile EU stuff in that period but I think they don't know what to do about Luke, Han and Leia in live action and so are avoiding the possibility.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:if it's just always been "but we can see what happened in a different time!" This is how I think they are doing it. Another time cuts a wide runway. There's just so many stories you can have happening off to the side or even directly tied to the OT events and it frustrates me as a fan that they don't want to deal with it. The funny thing is that you can tell so many stories that you run into too many options but that they don't really make enough sense to commit to it. I'd love to see a story about a mutiny on a Star Destroyer and the crew trying to defect with it. But you'd be crazy to try that as a movie.

Yeah just have the series set just pre New Hope and have it about one of the other squadrons. Or just after and ditto. The Rebellion obviously had a fairly large cadre of fighter pilots and craft, lots of potential stories there.

How is that an insurmountable request? yes because as soon as topgun 2 came out disney "cancelled" the Rouge Squadron movie because it had the exact same script, old pilot (wedge) too old for this new war teaching the newbies how to do yet another deathstar trench run

I wish that bigoted meathead hadn't killed off the Rangers series. All the old school pilots in the middle of nowhere, solving people's problems, shooting the bad guys. Airwolf meets A Team. In space. With Zeb.

drunkill posted:yes A side-story about other pilots involved in star killer base. There's a scene where they do a training mission in a canyon, and the hot shot youngins are all like "it's a Space ship  " and don't respect the idea of a third trench run and then we see they blew up some critical here-to-for-unmentioned part in TFA's starkiller thing.

There's a rumor that Bob Chapek forced Kathleen Kennedy and Kevin Feige to announce stuff at the Investor Day presentation regardless of how far down the development path it was. So it's quite possible they never had a strong handle for what the show was going to be and axed it the first convenient moment.

drunkill posted:yes I'd blame the cancellation much more on Wonder Woman 1984, by the director slated for Rogue Squadron. WW84 sucked and looks to have done real damage to Patty Jenkins' career. It was a bad story, poorly directed. Jenkins had producer, director, story, and screenplay credits on it, and when you have that much control and you put put a train wreck like that, projects get cancelled.

Media executives are extremely wedded to the theory of star power. IMO Rangers wasn't a show concept that they put Gina Carano in, it was a show concept they created to use Gina Carano

They should make a new character for Rangers that’s basically Gina’s character but cast Rhea Ripley and I guarantee it will have the biggest female audience a SW show has ever had

She'd be a great replacement.

I liked the character and thought the performance was adequate, but being the main character in a series would have been a heavy ask. I figure the series was never going to happen anyhow because that exact reason.
