Bespin 8,484 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 50 minutes ago, Edmilson said: Dawn of the Jedi is the one that looks more interesting to me. If it's really Mangold who directs 'Dawn of the Jedi,' it completely bursts my bubble. It will be a film made by a pretty basic straight guy, for basic straight guys*, without any magic or poetry. I mean, you understand... It will be raw and violent... and forgettable. I dreamed of something better for this period of the Star Wars Universe that interests me a lot. * This is my way of contrasting directing styles like those of Lucas or Spielberg, who yes, are straight, but who have a sensitivity that can also be feminine and childlike. Mangold is I think incapable of that. Fargo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ll be seeing Disney move away from streaming content in a big way - at least cinematic big-budget stuff. A ton less, with more focus on the big screen. enderdrag64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pellaeon 593 Posted February 9 Popular Post Share Posted February 9 Yeah, this is a bad move, to me. After burning out on Star Wars, I decided, well, I’ll skip the shows but come back for the movies. Even a bad Star War has got to be worth taking in once, in the theater. But now I gotta question it. The Filoniverse requires a big buy-in. So I dunno. Edmilson, JTN and Smeltington 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enderdrag64 624 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 12 hours ago, Edmilson said: I may be wrong, but I think this is kind of a risky bet for Disney at the box office. I don't think there haven't been many theatrically-released movies based on TV shows that until recently were airing episodes that have been hugely successful at the box office. The only ones I can remember are The X-Files: Fight the Future (which was released between seasons five and six of the show and grossed $189 million on a $66 million budget) and the 2019 Downton Abbey movie (released four years after the series ended and grossed $195 million on a $20 million budget). All of them were moderately successful but not the kind of Star Wars money that Disney surely wants. So they'll have to make the movie appealing also to people who haven't seen the show. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_Slayer:_Kimetsu_no_Yaiba_–_The_Movie:_Mugen_Train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to have to find a way to make this movie accessible to a general public that isn't subscribed to Disney+ and has maybe never seen The Mandalorian before. It's going to need to be a self-contained story that doesn't lean too much on what happened previously. Edmilson and Yavar Moradi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How low has Star Wars fallen when people think like that (with good reason).

That's fair; but this one is special because it was a theatrical continuation of the show - most anime movies are silly non-canon adventures that have no bearing on the plot. So being a theatrical continuation of the show it's really not that different from the Mandalorian movie except perhaps for target audience.

Mr. Hooper 1,804 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 18 minutes ago, Edmilson said: Star Wars Origins: Mandalorian The Mandalorian Djarin "Djarin" is cool-sounding, but it wouldn't ring a bell with a general audience. But many people who don't watch "The Mandalorian" are probably at least familiar with the name—so for the sake of recognition, the title should include "Mandalorian" in it. They could just go the "Rogue One" route and call it "The Mandalorian: A Star Wars Story"... Adding "Grogu" just seems like a marketing move to bring in the kiddies and all the girls who "Awww!" whenever he's on screen. I know a few of the latter. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, in my head I keep coming back to "The Mandalorian" as a short, strong title that says what it needs to say. Yeah, it sounds completely unoriginal since that's what the series is called, but adding "and Grogu" just sounds goofy to me. Anyway, I hope they worry about making a good movie instead of fussing over the title like us! Tallguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
