Yub-nub bitches. Just one clarification: The Favreau series takes place 3 years after RotJ. There was some confusion when that news first came out, with Favreau meaning the series was 7 years after ANH, not RotJ. So basically it takes place two years after the Battle of Jakku which ended the Galactic Civil War.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Does that make the Favreau series the furthest we’ve delved into the ROTJ-TFA gap? IIRC, the Aftermath books end around the Battle of Jakku and there isn’t much else until the Poe comics set just before and after TFA. The Leia Bloodline book takes place about 6 years pre-TFA. Phasma takes place around then too. The Legends of Luke Skywalker kind of quasi takes places in that post-RotJ time period too, though it's mostly second hand stories. In terms of more comprehensive stories though, the Favreau series will probably be the most gap filling. Teek fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Oct 3, 2018 |

Star Wars Show announced they'll be doing Resistance episode follow ups called Resistance Rewind in the vein of their Rebels Recon episodes. Wonder if we'll get the obligatory Pablo lore nuggets.

The microseries isn't canon any longer. There's quite a few TV related things which aren't canon anymore (Ewoks TV movies, Ewoks cartoon, Droids cartoon, etc.). I think the opening post is more explaining the current state of semi-active shows that are canon. Can we also please not poo poo up the thread with movie complaints, keep that in the movie threads.

The first 3 (4 technically) episodes of Resistance are up on the Disney Channel site. Looks like the first "episode" is the first two episodes back to back, i.e. The Recruit parts one and two. Then there's episode two The Triple Dark and three Fuel for the Fire. Looks like both parts of The Recruit will be airing on Disney tonight. The next two are actually online way before hitting TV. So if you want to get a few weeks ahead, you can do so by watching online.

Like Big Mean Jerk said, just stick to MakingStarWars and StarWarsNewsNet and you'll be fine. They both have high success rates for their scoops for the Disney era so far. And often times even some of their reported scoops/leaks which don't end up happening in the movies, get later proven as something Disney was planning to do before changing it in development. i.e. Luke's hand floating through space at the beginning of TFA, the cut Caretaker scene from TLJ, etc..

Yeah, after starting up a Clone Wars chronological rewatch recently, he definitely just starts out as an rear end in a top hat that indiscriminately kills people. They try to play it as charming, but it just makes me look like more of a smarmy rear end.

https://www.starwars.com/news/cassian-andor-live-action-series-announced Oh gently caress, excellent! Theoretically they could extend that for a few years. He could probably get away with playing Cassian for a few seasons at least. Of course Cassian is supposed to be 26 but is war is hell... Hopefully this means we'll also get some Clone Wars flashbacks. Seems ripe to explore him being a Separatist. Teek fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Nov 8, 2018 |

One semi-interesting wrinkle to the Cassian series, is that the time distance between it and The Mandalorian is about 7-9 years? Not so much a stretch to get some character cross over between those. It also puts it in an interesting place to pick up possible plot threads from Solo.

This also seems like an opportunity to bring back Enfys Nest. She's actually around the exact same age as Cassian. I also have to think Emilia Clarke has more free time now, seems like a Crimson Dawn series would be feasible in and of itself.

Rocksicles posted:She's 20, Luna is 38. Character ages, not actor ages. Cassian is said to have been born 26 BBY and Enfys 28 BBY. Solo takes place around 10 years before Rogue One, so it's a bit wonky. The Cassian series would probably be better served retconning Cassian to have been 6 at the start of the Clone Wars, rather than at the end like all the associated Rogue One supplemental guide materials stated. That way his line in Rogue One still works. Theoretically they could have him be "in the fight since he was six years old" by having some planet specific conflict he was a child soldier in even before the Clone Wars started to make him even older.

radlum posted:Where was Cassian's age stated? I know Luna looks rather young for his actual age, but he doesn't strike me as in his 20s. I agree, he was in his mid-30s when RO was filmed. I think the official materials put him at 26 to make his "I was in the fight since 6" line up with the Clone Wars. They could easily adjust that as needed, it wouldn't be the first time they ignored/tweaked information from official guides in the "everything is canon" years.

Today's Resistance: Was good to get off the station for awhile. Kaz was able to show off his growing piloting skills and Poe had a pretty large part to play. Still made use of existing character and location models, but they made good use of them.

Apparently they've had a stunt man in the suit for all the action stuff they've been shooting so far. Someone in the know reported through a relative of the family that Clint Eastwood's grandson is actually handling that part.

Jango helped lead their training, hence why he and Boba had a placed on Kamino. Once you get those first batches all trained up, I guess the accent just sticks once those clones in turn start training others and it continues from there.

It looks like scene remakes/reinterpretations/reimaginings from the Skywalker saga. Seems like it's trying to appeal to kids who may only have a passing or no familiarity with the original films. Either way, looks neat.

New Mandalorian character spoilers: https://makingstarwars.net/2018/12/classic-star-wars-bounty-hunters-will-appear-in-star-wars-the-mandalorian/ Happy about this. I was kind of wondering if one of the many cast members was in actuality going to be someone we had seen before, wonder if that might be happening with one of these. Dengar was played by Simon Pegg in The Clone Wars, so I would guess they would go with another British person to play him in live action. But man, Nick Nolte doesn't look that far off from Dengar nowadays...

Guess that Starkiller speech stuff will be near the end of the season. Season 2 will pick up afterwards and start tying into TLJ and the even post-TLJ content. Could easily see the season 2's first half be a fight to throw off the First Order, semi-succeeding in the mid-season finale. Then picking up back in the mid-season premiere with the post-Crait resistance arriving. The hypothetical seasons 3 and 4 could then be a bridge to Episode 9.

Wheat Loaf posted:What's the scheduling likely to look like on this? Presumably Resistance season two would be on around the same time Episode IX is in theatres, right? Yes, if it follows season 1, they'll start in Fall and have a mid-season break. Episode 9 will hit, then the second half of season 2 will pick up around a month after. I'm figuring the FO will full take control of things to help establish why these "allies" don't come in TLJ.

Hmm, so the two kids are Force sensitive? I'm not sure if I got that in their first appearance but it makes some sense. There's been speculation that some of the planetary stuff seen in the second half trailer looks like either Luke's Jedi temple planet and/or the rainy planet seen with Kylo and the Knights of Ren during the force visions in TFA.

Theory going around that the Colossus may not be long for that planet. Mainly because the Colossus looks to apparently be way bigger than what we've actually seen, which has been hinted at in some schematics seen in the show. This most recent episode showed a much larger portion of the station still under the water on a screen when they were working out their sinking plan. If that's the case, I wonder if Doza will cast out the FO, then launch the Colossus off planet. Then next season it could be on a new planet or out in space somewhere.

Finale prediction: So I'm guessing they'll get the Colossus off world, but it will ultimately be dead in the water/space once they arrive at wherever they're going. A set up which will possibly allow them to hear Leia's call for help, but ultimately not be able to do anything about it. It would be great to see them arrive at wherever this next Resistance base is supposed to be, but find no one else there yet, and then possibly have Leia and the rest arrive a few episodes into season 2.

Resistance finale part 2 episode: Good end, except for one glaringly horrible example of poor writing/execution. "How do we get Tam off the station easily without having to have her wrestle with the destruction of Hosnian Prime?" "I know, we'll just not have Kaz or Yeager mention it to her when they're pleading with her not to go!" Try harder guys. Obviously I'm sure that's something she will find out in season 2, but there's no excuse for that not to be brought up this episode.
