Jay 37,364 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 What's the significance of Disney announcing a bunch of Lucasfilm stuff today? Was this expected to happen or did it all come out of the blue? I thought the game awards would contain the big media announcements today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pellaeon 593 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Are they crazy? I thought they learned their lesson with the last round.

Edmilson 7,456 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Netflix taught them that you have to invest lots of money in original shows to justify your streaming service, and that's what they're doing. Of course, most of these shows will hardly reach the same level of success of Mandalorian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Last "official word" was from Rian, that he's still developing it. AFAIK that was some time ago. I don't read absence of confirmation in that call of anything. They only gave information for one feature film, and the rest was Disney+ stuff. No word at all about what other feature films are forthcoming. Not to say that I'd be surprised if Johnson wasn't doing it anymore. Given the high rate of creative turnover in Lucasfilm generally over the last few years, as well as the fandom reaction to The Last Jedi (although I'm sure that Lucasfilm realizes that when you cater to the fans too much, you get...The Rise of Skywalker......)

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I didn't mind TLJ so much until I saw Knives Out and it became clearer to me what this smart arse is all about -- he makes movies with a certain ideological bias to appease the Twitterati. And suddenly his worldview became much clearer when I was thinking back to TLJ. What a write-off that sequel trilogy became. I'll just watch the prequels.

Jay 37,364 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Disney announced dates today for all of their 2021 content. Here's the Star Wars content THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT – December 2021 (Lucasfilm / Disney+) Boba Fett’s journey will continue in “The Book of Boba Fett,” which will be set within the timeline of “The Mandalorian” and star Temuera Morrison as the titular bounty hunter, along with Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand. Robert Rodriguez — who directed Chapter 14 of “The Mandalorian” in a thrilling installment that reintroduced Boba Fett to the Star Wars galaxy — joins Favreau and Dave Filoni as executive producer. STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH – 2021 (Lucasfilm /Disney+) “Star Wars: The Bad Batch” follows the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch (first introduced in “The Clone Wars”) as they find their way in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. Members of Bad Batch — a unique squad of clones who vary genetically from their brothers in the Clone Army — each possess a singular exceptional skill that makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew. In the post-Clone War era, they will take on daring mercenary missions as they struggle to stay afloat and find new purpose. That's it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,456 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I haven't watched The Clone Wars, but the Bad Batch's synopsis is pretty interesting. Will it be animated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I have faith that Favreau and Filoni overseeing things will lead to more good than bad Star Wars content on Disney+, though the sheer amount of announced stuff does give me pause. Luckily, 2021 is empty of any live action Star Wars until December and the real onslaught begins in the years following, so there's not gonna be a chance of real overload for a while. I'm not interested in any of the animated shows currently, though might be open to starting with The Clone Wars if I run out of other things to watch next year. I hope the theatrical movies they release going forward are better than the 5 Disney has made so far. It's a shame with all the endless possibilities this universe has, they gave us 3 more Skywalker movies and 2 prequels for OT characters/ideas. Here's hoping they really branch out and give us some completely new ideas on the big screen in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
