New Star Wars stuff announced

[Lagduf]

But yeah, Disney can never be Forgiven for what they did to Luke.

I think the 'y'all wanna see a dead body?' meme would be apropos in the case of Star Wars.

It can't be saved under its current curation. Just go back and watch the good movies.

I liked Season 1 of The Mandalorian. Season 2 was okay but just felt like a retread. At least it didn't feel like it wasted my precious time, though. And Luke showing up at the end was pretty great.

Just cast Sebastian Stan as Luke and make a show about him. Just him. Being awesome. But Disney will NEVER make that show.

The show has become significantly less tolerable over the last couple episodes. It hasn't gotten to the comically bad stage yet either. It's living in the 'just bad' zone. At least as bad as Ahsoka. Probably worse.

Maybe they could do a reboot - basically retell the original trilogy but with new young actors and whatever tropes the current younger generation is into.

I agree, this is totally not done to death in modern cinema. we should also probably ham-handedly inject modern issues and controversies we are encountering in the real world into the story as well.

tide pod challenge instead of pod racing?????

edit: fuck it. the story should just be told as a series of TikTok prank videos.

Make sure to humanize the Stormtroopers. Maybe insert a slave narrative in there.

Also, make sure the Asian mechanic hates capitalism.

Disney is the PERFECT company to proselytize on these issues.

I need to make an effort one day to look into getting into the Star Wars novels as I read there is some truly excellent stuff to be found in there and I really want quality Star Wars stories back in my life.

I like Star Wars a lot, but for so long now they have made it so easy to hate and Disney has only made that worse.

I was thinking Darth Vader could be a trans woman this time.

The Acolyte cost 180 million dollars per episode to make. They said they cut the Wookie Jedi death scene because it was too expensive.

180 million god damn dollars for a 28 minute episode and they couldn't afford to film a Sith Lord vs a Wookie Jedi fight. What the fuck are they spending all that money on?

 

[NeoSneth]

They are not going back to the original material. There will not be a Luke saga or retreading of original Movie content. It's why they killed ALL of those characters. Luke, Leia, Han, Ackbar.... they all died in the latest set of movies. The current curators want nothing to do with the legacy Star Wars. It's the same reason we will never see Rogue Squadron or anything from the Legends Canon.

Disney is losing money with Star Wars. How pathetic is that? Acolyte cost substantially more than Ahsoka, and they've had to pull all merchandising off the shelves.

I literally never recommended it. My first post on the matter pointed out how fucking stupid all the characters were.

180 mil for eight episodes chief

 

[Taiso]

Disney, even at their gayest, wouldn't spend 180 million per episode of a Star Wars series. I believe the cost was $750,000 per episode, which is still very June-worthy.

-Nightsisters are confirmed to still be alive (Palpatine slaughtered every known Nightsister previously) and from the other galaxy, Morgan is confirmed to be a descendant
-we saw the Force Gods of Mortis (the Owl and the statues), which is probably something to do with what Baylan is doing there, and they are apparently from the same world as the original Nightsisters
-Ahsoka processed the trauma of her mentor becoming space Hitler
-Ezra and Thrawn returned to the main galaxy
-Ahsoka and Sabine are stranded in the other galaxy with Shin and Baylan
-Sabine became a Jedi and her blood relatives were all wiped out in the purge
-Huyang is confirmed alive
-Hera's son is confirmed to be force sensitive
-Kaz's father is apparently an Imperial traitor

More relevant plot happened in this show than all three seasons of Mando combined. They didn't answer every question but that's because they actually bothered to ask some rather than just having a dude wander around getting shot near a baby.

That post might as well just be written in lorem ipsum for as much as I understood it.

Ahsoka is Rebels season 5. If you didn't watch the animated series Rebels, most of it isn't going to seem relevant.

That was a dumb choice for them to make, as the audience for Ahsoka was many times bigger than Rebels. Most of the people watching had no idea who most of those characters were or why they should give a fuck about those plot points, and that's a fair criticism. But, within the framework of the bigger story they were telling, most of what they put on screen in the show actually makes sense. The histories of these characters have been told over literally hundreds of episodes (of mostly Rebels but also Clone Wars, Bad Batch, Andor, Mandalorian) and Ahsoka is just one part of it.

That's a far cry from The Acolyte, which is supposed to be self-contained. It's not picking up story threads that have already been developed for years, it's starting at the beginning and expecting the viewers to rely solely on what they're showing us in real time and what they're showing us makes no goddamn sense. And not only is the story they're telling us nonsensical, it's also boring. Which is a cardinal sin for a franchise based on space wizards, robots, and laser beams.

Imagine have a literal money printing machine and losing money, lol.
Wild.

Fami, attempting to create some kind of narrative storyline between the film and the animated series was always a mistake.

It was a mistake during the prequel era and it continues to be a mistake. I don’t say this to disparage the animated series, as they’re the only Star Wars media that have people (now) who care about and even understand Star Wars.

The audience has been fractured for almost 20 years at this point.

 

[Lagduf]

Disney made the same mistake with Marvel as well.
