teagone posted:Ahsoka and Rex have never been in live-action. Plenty of people don't watch the animated shows either. Both of them will essentially be new characters to a whole bunch of people. I don't care much about Boba Fett returning. The show's called The Mandalorian, of course Boba Fett would probably show up at one point.  Boba Fett isn't a mandalorian. Furthermore

I'm excited what they could do with that. Boba showing and clashing with Mando over The Way, Rex showing up with Ahsoka. Rex disgusting himself as Boba for some reason, all good.

Remember these guys are good writers for a well-received show. This always happens with goons, where they personally can’t conceive of a good way for things to go so clearly the show is making a mistake.

Nail Rat posted:Well it's canon that Darth Maul survived and Boba Fett is a lot more believable since the sarlaac was supposed to devour slowly over thousands of years. Maul got chopped in half, a generally lethal event, and fell down a hole of excessive depth. Somehow this was not a thing that kills you and people are fine with that. Boba Fett soft lands in an upside down octopus or something, while armored up and physically intact. Surviving this is deemed improbable. ?

The Emperor got thrown down a shaft and supposedly killed. Him showing back up later doesn’t mean it’s a great narrative thing to do. I just hoped that this show would have the gumption to stray from known characters and build a world inside star wars without leaning on roads tread before. It’s not unreasonable and I trust that they’ll do it well. It’s just I wish they wouldn’t is all.

If it's just a short scene he could be playing Jango in a flashback. Edit: missed the bit where it said he was definitely Boba.

Ignoring that is why the sequels failed. They didn't leave room for hope. Except of course for the kid with the broom in TLJ.

His latest re-definition of what “balance of the force” means is basically there are equally light and dark forces in the galaxy and every so often one will start to power up and then we get these eternally cyclical conflicts as they try to balance back out (“the darkness rises and the light to meet it”). This obviously contradicts what he’s said before and makes Anakin significantly less important but apparently nerds think Lucas is god now so whatever.

I've got the same look as everyone else on that panel, but not because I'm at a loss for words at such wondrous insight, but because that's the look I get when I zone out while my friends go off in an in depth tangent on something I don't really out much thought into. Like, sure okay Qui-Gon is the father figure. I kinda knew that when I watched the film this isn't exactly a groundbreaking insight Dave is providing. I like when Mando goes all slasher villain on the prison barge and closes two sets of doors on Clancy Brown and still somehow doesn't kill him.

Mulva posted:I feel like you don't actually like the Wars in the Stars very much. Legacy of the Force kinda broke my passion for Star Wars. I like what I like but there's a lot of conditionals in there now. And Im a cynic for Disney because I have a hard time viewing anything they do without assuming their intentions. I don't trust a lot of their behind the scenes footage because they love to play up the idea that everyone is part of a big happy family when that is pretty much never the case for any film or tv production. So I don't see much appeal in the panel discussion if the deep insight is stuff I learned in a second year literary crit class. I still like The Mandalorian a lot, prequels are still the epitome of decent ideas executed poorly and no amount of Dave Filoni talking about the finer points is going to make up for sloppy filmmaking by Lucas. Filoni is a mostly good showrunner but I don't see him as God's gift to save Star Wars.

The thing about Lucas is that he's amazing at coming up with concepts and broad strokes. The original film was heavily refined, but it came from a long time of tinkering with his original concept with friends (and family, in the case of Marcia Lucas in the editing). A lot of the aesthetics, concepts, and the very broad plot of the prequel trilogy are actually really great in the bare sense. The problem is that he's not a good writer or director, so giving him ultimate control of something is a terrible mistake. Especially when his ego is now driven by his sudden fame and wealth. So I think when it comes to EU stuff, it depends heavily on not only the writer's quality, but how close they try to hew to Lucas's vision. As we've seen with The Mandalorian, you can have an absolutely amazing show by just using the setting and throwing out most of Lucas's directorial and writing style. The worst authors try to stick close to how the original scripts sound, which makes them insipid.

Marcia Lucas is the reason anyone on Earth cares about Star Wars and I really hope she’s like disgustingly rich these days.

While Filoni's whole speech was cute and earnest, it still boils down to him making Lucas's poor directing and writing more profound than Lucas intended. I honestly want to know if he's genuinely enthralled with Lucas or if he just knows he has a really sweet gig right now and will continue singing his praises and the nerddom's heir apparent.

Even with the success of Mandalorian I don't think Filoni is widely known. Like if you announce Filoni is doing something it won't get 1/10th the heat of saying "Taika Waititi"

Not among the general public. But if you hate yourself enough to read social media comments on Star Wars posts you'll see that within the current crop of nerds (especially, unfortunately, the loud and vocal toxic ones) he's considered the second coming of Jesus. Unlike, you know, that horrible bitch Kathleen Kennedy who personally writes, edits, and directs every movie to shove Disney's gay Jewish liberal SJW female agenda down our throats.

It really is amazing how very specific tweaks would have changed everything with those movies. Make Anakin like 20 instead of 10? Open up this huge avenue to draw Luke parallels with. Flip it so you get a decade between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith? The galaxy just doesn't care that the Empire rose, at least the war ended.
