The Illustrious Jerry 3,357 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Supreme Leader, the collapse of the franchise has begun. An extremely odd decision.

John 2,032 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It’s not a terrible decision, per se, but ultimately it’s just more evidence that Disney really doesn't know what to do with this franchise. They have an entire galaxy to explore and they are already going back to the well with an entirely forgettable character from a movie full of them. Let’s follow TLJ’s lead and move the franchise forward, away from the past. @JTWfan77, you disagree? 1977, Chen G. and Yavar Moradi 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 10,004 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 What is there to tell about him? He joined the Rebellion at 6 and always blindly followed the higher-ups' commands even if he may have moraly disagreed with them, until he met Jyn, which we saw. Riveting, ain't it?

Manakin Skywalker 5,132 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 When I first heard the news (exactly 45 seconds after StarWars.com posted it), I was neither excited nor disappointed. It's just such a random, bizarre choice. Out of a billion Star Wars characters, this is the one they want to make a show about. I thought the article was some sort of joke before I clicked on it. I mean, I'm looking forward to it, but it just seems like absolutely no thought was put into it. It's as if someone came up with the idea this morning, and they instantly greenlit it, and announced it 10 minutes later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as if someone came up with the idea this morning, and they instantly greenlit it, and announced it 10 minutes later. Hmm... I could see something be made from it. Some early rebellion, with a less-than-noble-on-occasion approach? Isn't that what people wanted from Rogue One, but what it ended up deviating from in the end? To me, this sounds like an opportunity for them to take their original ideas for that and put them somewhere where they don't need to be so concerned with engaging all possible audiences at the same time. 24 minutes ago, Jurassic Shark said: Yeah, there's always Star Trek. Is that worse? Heh... I've actually been working on catching up on all Star Trek series for a long time now. Halfway into Enterprise now, so... getting there.

mstrox 6,778 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I'll hold up Better Call Saul as the world's stupidest idea, a prequel for a character who had nothing more to say, executed in such a way that it was not only successful but something really special.

mstrox 6,778 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I'm sure also that it's not just gonna be a series about Cassian and K2SO - it will be about a group of rebels, all with their own character arcs and stories to tell. This will be the first real opportunity for Lucasfilm to jump the "new canon." Cassian and K2SO's meet-cute has already been told.

He would be a completely different character though considering almost everything related to him has been contradicted by canon. I feel if they did ever make a movie or TV show about a beloved EU character, fans would be even more angry than they are now because the characters wouldn't be exactly as they were in the EU.
