gently caress Mandalore. Hope Ahsoka uses the time portal to kill every one of them.

Honestly, I'd never even considered it; never mind heard there was any kind of campaign going on. Was it just Filoni badgering Kathleen Kennedy in private or something, because they played that close to their loving chest. That said, Clone Wars and Resistance as well as whatever live action poo poo they have planned? Awesome. The animatic from season 6 of Anakin doing Gun Kata to a clearly impressed but reluctant to admit it Obi-Wan before they have a conversation about Ahsoka where Anakin asks Obi-Wan how he'd feel if Anakin left the order will finally get some animation and I can't wait. It was already one of the best parts of the show even as a slide show, so seeing it in full production should be great. I hope we also get to find out what Palpatine does with Maul. That said, I do wonder how much production of this will carry over. Lucas is no longer personally funding it, but at the same time they presumably still have a lot of the 3D models and assets from the show on hand so maybe it won't look quite as good but shouldn't look as barebones as Rebels did at times?

I doubt it took much badgering on Filoni’s part. Disney has a streaming service they want to fill with content; Filoni & Co had already completed loads of work on the season before it was left unfinished. Add to that how TCW is a known product with a huge fan following and Filoni is just coming off Rebels, another well-received show. Finishing this season was almost certainly cheaper than creating something totally from scratch. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.

Plus it gives them time to make sense of the Maul cameo in Solo since nobody knows what happened between clone wars and rebels to set that poo poo up.

Pretty sure they didnt need much badgering as they promoted Filoni to head of all animation projects in 2016 and I'm pretty sure that was because they knew they were going to run multiple projects to fill their streaming service. Psyched for this, CW was very good.

Is that cave base the same one that they found deserted in Rebels? The one with the huge gremlins/toad-looking monsters inside that Ezra controls at one point? If so, cool.

Same place yes. Although in rebels the planet/moon is fragmented and now an asteroid belt.

Gaz-L posted:They do call it out in Rebels as being a disused Clone War ammo dump, right? In its second appearance in 1x09 they call it "the asteroid field with the old clone base". They just call it an unnamed "abandoned base" and Fulcrum uses it for a cargo drop to them in 1x07 in its first appearance. Seems like it was identified as an asteroid that used to be part of the destroyed planet Anaxes in one of the Rebels kids novels, and Anaxes is what the planet was called in the Bad Batch story.

Star Wars: Resistance's 1st season is going to be 22 episodes long, first episode is called "The Recruit". I continue to be a bit dismayed at the complete lack of marketing for a series so (relatively) close to debuting.

Yeah, I’d expect marketing to kick in any time now. Seems to me like they were waiting for the Solo blitz to die down, and obviously until after the Clone Wars announcement at SDCC.

Wait, this is starting in October? How is there not a full blown trailer for this out? Is there a major con coming up they're waiting for or something? Otherwise I can't see why they didn't release one alongside the Clone Wars one.

If they release it on its own within the next month or so, it’ll get a lot more attention.

Its still weird to me that Disney shoved all its big films this year in the early summer. Solo would have probably done much better if it had come out in the Fall or even better, Christmas.

My personal suspicion is that the thought process went something like "Well, Solo is already in rough shape due to the directorial shakeup, might as well use it as the experiment at recapturing May as 'The Star Wars Release Window'"

They probably didn’t want to eat into ticket sales for Christopher Robin (8/3), Wreck It Ralph 2 (11/21), or Mary Poppins Returns (12/19). September and October are dead months for releases and they probably figured a crowded May release would be better. I still think the obvious choice should have been to release Solo in mid-June to provide enough of a buffer between IW and Ant-Man.

TLJ was wildly successful with critics. Something like 90+% positive. I don't see how announcing a trilogy from Rian Johnson, the guy who's last Star Wars film made a billion dollars, has an A- CinemaScore, and has that aforementioned 90+% positive critical reception is in any way a bad thing. Edit: just double checked; 91% positive from critics, per rotten tomatoes 85 on Metacritic jivjov fucked around with this message at 12:09 on Jul 27, 2018 |
