The worst excess in ROTS is hands down, Yoda knowing Chewbacca. for no reason and relevant to nothing. Literally just Lucas thought it would be cool.
Allegedly Peter Mayhew was the only one of the original main cast to take a flat fee for the first movie rather than buy into George's "points on the merch" wild idea that made Fox lol at him, and then for the next two films he got strongarmed into the same deal because "you're a guy in a suit, we can replace you". Story goes that Chewie coming back in RotS was to fix that with a new contract and a fuckton of new merch.

If that's true, good on George for making sure Peter got paid.

I remember getting to the end of TLJ and thinking 'well the only way this trilogy can be coherent now is if there's a 10-15 year time jump to the next film and it's about Rey and band of teengage Luke Skywalkers she's gathered and trained up while on the run from the First Order'.

Hold on to your butts, they're about to greenlight everything...

https://ew.com/tv/disney-star-wars-universe/

quote:

A third season of The Mandalorian is a given, but not yet announced.

There is sure to be an update on the Obi-Wan Kenobi TV series, which has Ewan McGregor reprising his iconic Jedi Knight role. The project will reportedly air as a six-episode limited series rather than as an ongoing story. The project is set eight years after Revenge of the Sith (and before the events in A New Hope). Filming has been expected to begin in the next few months, so potential casting news, a title, or other details seems likely.

The Cassian Andor series is also overdue for an update. The prequel project has Diego Luna reprising his Rogue One role as a Rebel spy. Alan Tudyk has also been confirmed as reprising his role as the droid K-2SO. Luna recently suggested the project has begun quietly filming in London.

There's also a female-centric series in the works from Russian Doll co-creator Leslye Headland that reportedly is set in a rather different timeline than we've seen before in other Star Wars projects.

Recently there have also been rumors of a Boba Fett series now that Jango Fett actor Temuera Morrison has returned to the Star Wars universe on The Mandalorian.

There's also another animated series in the works, The Bad Batch, which is set after the events in The Clone Wars.

Yet the most exciting announcement will probably not be an update on these existing reports, but rather something entirely new. One area of particular interest is what's next for the franchise in terms of theatrical films in the wake of 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Or perhaps Disney will completely shift its Star Wars interests to the small screen to bolster Disney+, which has racked up a most impressive 74 million subscribers since launching just over a year ago.

One of the nice things about the Star Wars universe is that it is basically static across time. Like, there's no real difference in technology or galactic dynamics between the Old Republic stuff, which happens 10,000 years before the normal stuff. You could reasonably set a series or movie in any time before or after the mainline timeline and tell whatever stories you want with whatever characters you want using the rules of the SW universe people are familiar with and aesthetics that people love.

Branch out! Set something a million years ABY and you can ignore skywalker stuff entirely.

can you make it so the protagonist adopts the name "skywalker" at the end and the audience knows they're the first of the line? it can be like an origin story, the mitochondiral eve of space wizards.

I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
Just started watching this show last week and caught up with both seasons now. I finished all the episodes knowing absolutely nothing about the canon other than what I've seen in the nine movies and then jumped around some of the discussion ITT where I found out for the first time that a lot of the people and things the show introduces were already established, and then I spent some time clicking through wikipedia and watching some "explained" type videos and now I'm just wondering what the gently caress at things like magical space whales and time travel.

Which was kinda neat cause when Bo-Katan was revealed and Din called her "not a Mandalorian" I thought he was in the right because up until then all I knew about Mandalorians were that they never took off their helmets. Even when she explained that he's in a cult I just thought "oh ok, so there are just different sects with different rules." But after reading her backstory I appreciate how most of you took that scene totally differently as if someone unknowingly called Palpatine not a Sith :rolleyes:.

Ahsoka Tano's backstory is weird to me because it just got crazier and crazier. A neat discussion I read here was that she coulda owned that lady with the spear at any time cause apparently she's super powerful, but from my point of view Din seemed to hold his own against her so I thought she was just a random Jedi level of power, not someone who could stand up to Darth Vader. I genuinely thought that she had a chance of being speared to death (but knew she wouldn't, cause of plot armor) when she gets one of her lightsabers disarmed.

Gideon honestly seems to me like Gus Fringe but in space. Giancarlo plays the two exactly the same. This isn't a complaint but I can't stop thinking of Fringe when I see Gideon.

My only question is about beskar. Was Din's original armor made from beskar or was it just random metal? Is Boba's made from beskar? All the Mandalorians in S1 and Starbuck and her crew? If the metal is so rare, then how come every Mandalorian has a full suit of armor made from it?

Also Tahiti was mentioned here in a post and someone quoted it saying "it's a magical place." I don't know who that poster was and nobody in the few pages after acknowledged that post but I appreciate it :v:.

Got any deathsticks?
His helmet was the only piece of pure beskar in his old armour. The rest was probably durasteel. Fett's armour is durasteel as well until they say otherwise, since it's corroded all to poo poo while Din can apparently survive krayt dragon stomach acid without issue.

Most of the beskar iron was strip mined by the Empire so Mandalorians can only make do with lesser quality metals that lack the heat and energy resisting properties of beskar. Plus the clans' constant infighting doesn't help keep up production.
