One of the problems with the planets is that they film "on location," to cut costs (which is totally fine, I get why the business wants that). But they keep going to that one Desert to film for Tatooine and other desert planets.

I think Corescant is the only "planet"/city that they have to CGI? It's Disney (and Lucas at the time), they have the money. The issue is they won't put that money into green-screens in the sense that they probably feel it'd be too obvious, or because fanlings had a backlash toward the CGI Lucas DID do (Jar Jar) to where they don't try to spruce up and make interesting planets.

It's in goddamn space, make your imagination go wild with how planets look?

And like 11 years ago they were already going to do a way more CG intensive show before Disney bought them out.

They’d be better off making a new film and pretending it never happened

They already tried that once.

I'd argue twice. In the same trilogy. Which also decided that none of the OG trilogy really mattered. Quite the achievement.

If you haven’t already, you guys should look into how they are filming The Mandalorian. The camera matching, where the lighting is actually coming from, everything. It will blow your mind.

I'm re-watching SOLO, and realized if you want to experience a Han Solo heist adventure, just read SCOUNDRELS. The audiobook is pretty fantastic as well.

Anyone find it kinda weird that less than 8 months after the theatrical release Disney are testing reactions on the original version they never made since people seem to like it more than the actual movie they released?

Mando is going full Star Wars porn after being pretty restrained in s1. Not sure if I like it or not, but the pace has been good and the plot has been generally interesting (if still more serialized than I expected.)

I was going to say season 2 is mostly a series of shameless callbacks. But I think Star Wars porn is probably a better way to describe it.

The second season seems creatively bankrupt. The first season wasn't brilliant, but it had its charms.

Ehhhhhhh I think it's got a good balance of callbacks to the cartoons and new stuff going on. Could do without trying to make the sequel trilogy more coherent and make sense tho, just... just let that thing lie. It's done with.

The only ones that will almost surely be good* are Rangers of the New Republic and Ahsoka, Favreau and Filoni are doing those. Rogue Squadron is a movie directed by Patty Jenkins of Wonder Woman fame. Bad Batch is a cartoon, Andor is a series about Diego Luna's Rogue One character, Visions is a bunch of short animated stuff, Obi Wan has been in development heck (not quite hell) and no one really knows anything about Acolyte, Droid Story, or Lando. If I had to guess I'd say about half will be from ok to pretty good.

*good depending on if you like The Mandalorian or not. I understand some of you hate good things so I guess you won't enjoy any of this.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #5192 on:** December 10, 2020, 08:24:49 PM »

Visions is actually anime shorts. Could be interesting to see how those are handled.

Good or bad. I just am not interested. As I've gotten older I've been less and less interested in "universes". Like as a kid I never really wanted Star Wars to be expanded on, I wasn't interested in the universe of it. I was into the story of these three friends fighting against this cool sounding silly looking dude. Same thing with so many other franchisees. I don't need Matrix side movies. I don't need Murphy, the Robocop prequel. Gurren Lagann's story is over so let it stay that way.

What I'm saying is I've never been into these things that feel like you have to know all the lore to understand exactly whats going on. I'm not into lore. I'm into stories. I don't want things that exist to expand or explain lore. I don't give a real fuck about how the Star Wars universe works.

I'm not going to join this prequel revisionist history and say they are good. They are still awful movies. The sequels weren't awful, but they weren't anything. They did'nt take the story into any real exciting directions, instead playing a safe status quo redux, but this time without any actual direction.

Like all of these announcements do nothing for me. I'm sure some will be good. Maybe some will even take chances despite being under the thumb of Disney, but with the "Skywalker" mythos done I want new Star Wars. I want a new story that maybe has a few vestiges of what came before, but is uniquely it's own thing. Not tied to Empires vs Rebels or Sith vs Jedi. A want something that takes those themes and maybe some the visual identity and mythos and crafts a new fantasy sci-fi adventure.

I know we won't get that and so I'm just not going to care about Star Wars. Which is fine. I'm not hurt. Star Wars is'nt hurting me and it's not like I don't have plenty of other media to enjoy. I'd say Star Wars has kind of been irrelevant to me since Revenge of the Sith. But I do hope sometime soon a creator creates something new that captures the imagination like SW did, be it a Star Wars or something else.

Andor could be cool I guess, Tony Gilroy yet again taking over isn't a good sign though.

I hope for Obi Wan they try to direct it like the prequels, use the same acting style, etc. and Obi Wan's fighting style becomes progressively stiffer and upright. Plus the best part will be when they finally explain why he aged so much between the films.

I was reading some articles about the Last Days of Lucasarts and George had some pretty hilarious ideas. Like for that Darth Maul game, they basically wanted to make Batman: Arkham but with Maul, and they show it to George and he decides it should be a game about Darth Maul becoming friends with some other Sith Lord or something.

Also, the reason that you don't have a Darth name in the two Force Unleashed games is because George's suggestions were like Darth Insanius and so bad but they weren't allowed to ever question George so they just dropped it from the game.
