The budget for a single episode of TV, even one as high as The Mandalorian, still pales in comparison to the budget of a full blockbuster movie. As a result, due to budget constraints, Luke in the Mandalorian isn’t even fully CGI - it’s a form of deepfake using ILM’s proprietary tech they’ve been developing

I relate very hard to this

Unfortunately the first part of TLJ doesn't have auto translation available, so I'll have to jump to part 2. Hopefully things aren't too confusing

Do you have a source for any of that? I was aware these rumours have been around for a while but I didn’t see anything that was able to disprove the claims

@toothlessI really enjoyed the French YouTuber’s TFA critique videos, thanks for the recommendation! I really want to watch his TLJ ones but it doesn’t seem like there’s any English subtitles so I don’t know what I can do there

I'm feeling the excitement in the air, this seems like a really solid creative team so we could get something good out of this.

Mmk I'll take your word for it and check it out for myself then

People who think RJ totally went against JJ’s ideas have bought into the post-backlash TLJ narrative. Before that not only did JJ himself say he wish he had written the script, but his friend Greg Grunberg corroborated this and said that he never usually says that. JJ’s response you can chalk up to marketing but Greg wasn’t even involved with TLJ so he had zero obligation which is why I think it’s genuine. Especially considering th

Money wise I think most of the 8th Doctor Adventures material is available free on Spotify

That Variety article has zero details or context beyond just saying the show is no longer in active development. Without a source the claim seems dubious

Yeah, this is a problem in general with the chips because they remove the agency in the situation. Was a lot more grey in the old EU when it was a matter of conditioning and ARCs were made to be more independent.

I figured out where I recognize Omega's theme from! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is almost note for note: Original Reddit post that pointed out the similarity with a clip from the show containing the theme in question:

I really like Omega’s theme but I swear I’ve heard it before somewhere
