Edmilson 8,578 Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 As much as Mangold seemed to love working with Williams on Indy 5, I wouldn't get my hopes high just yet for a new JW SW score. More likely this will be Marco Beltrami's first Star Wars movie. GerateWohl and Sunshine Reger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's more likely to be Beltrami, but we'll see.

Exactly what I was thinking... you don't offer a director SW if they've just tried to do an Indy movie and the suits didn't love it. Musically, agree that at 'worst' it'll be Powell or Beltrami, and at best, Williams. Although of those three, I'd choose Powell personally.

TolkienSS 444 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 To get this right: they made a Star Wars sequel trilogy, gave them to different directors, which turned out to be a disaster, and now they're making a new trilogy of movies, give them to different directors, and go "it'll be fine". I predict none of these will be made. Toillion, Bounty95, Yavar Moradi and 2 others 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthDementous 1,185 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Probably a much better idea, trying to go all in on a new trilogy was not a good idea.

Groovygoth666 940 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 If Beau Willimons writing is anywhere close to what appeared in Andor then that gives me hope this could actually be good. A part of me feels that the protagonist will be a white brunette female with a British accent. (Not saying this is bad or good but just an observation of characters that have appeared in Lucasfilm productions). Annoyingly I can't find the vhs releases that I grew up with, but they were pre special edition. I'll never forget the excitement my dad had at watching the special edition release of ANH in the cinema, being so excited that he got a parking ticket because we were in a hurry to get to the cinema. And I missed TESB but can remember my mum took me and the son of her work friend to go watch ROTJ. For DOD it certainly is interesting to have such a high audience score while losing a whole lotta money but also having no fanfare about views on Disney Plus, almost as if the scores given on sites like rotten tomatoes are pretty much worthless.

I got to see Episode III again in a theater last year and went in fully jazzed and ready to give it 10/10 as a fan experience, and I'm gonna be honest, Lucas's direction did kinda make me miss JJ Abrams after awhile. I still think it's a better conclusion to its own trilogy than Rise of Skywalker, and even has more satisfying fan service as a farewell to the saga, in its way. But my memory of that movie was that it's pretty much a roller-coaster between its big moments and oof, all that stuff between Order 66 and the showdown on Mustafar, especially, I just wasn't feeling the urgency at all. I think of those 20-30 minutes as a crucial failure of that movie now, the circumstances of the story are so desperate and yet the movie feels weirdly meh about it because of how stiff it is.

bored 431 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Nothing Star Wars can excite me knowing that there will never be another Knights of the Old Republic 2. No Disney Star Wars property will ever touch the darkness, nuance, horror, depth and originality that that game provided, and certainly not from the director of Indiana Jones 5: Depression of the Lost Youth. At best it can only... echo it, if you will. Edmilson and Bellosh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
