I enjoy the story about Randy Stradley (when he was editor of the Star Wars books for Dark Horse) getting really tired of fans on the Internet demanding more Mandalorians so he eventually wrote one where the Mandalorians appear... in full retreat after losing a battle. Was Boba Fett a big part of the marketing for ESB or ROTJ? He doesn't amount to much in either but I've heard he was heavily promoted much like Phasma in the new movies. They were both there to look cool and sell toys.

Oh sure, wait until the day I make an OP including the words, "Untitled Jon Favreau Project" to release the title of the drat thing. Anyway, OP updated.jivjov posted:I mean...its not like we can't still talk about Legends content.... I know. It was a joke. I just have no intentions of including a section in the OP for the holiday special.

Been rewatching a few old Clone Wars episodes and while there's a few rough patches, it's a lot better than I remember it being The Season 2 episode "Landing at Point Rain" is basically "Remember the Battle of Geonosis? Remember all those CG clones fighting in a dustcloud? Well, let's actually show the brutal slog ground forces have to endure just to take a single factory"

Wheat Loaf posted:Was Boba Fett a big part of the marketing for ESB or ROTJ? Sort of. He was the lone bright spot in the ‘78 Holiday Special, and his Kenner action figure was a mail-away special before ESB came out. IIRC that figure was also the first concrete piece of ESB info revealed. He was mentioned fairly often in Bantha Tracks before ESB’s release as well. I think his popularity has to stem from: a) Adults who grew up in that initial wave of fans and Boba was the first bit of sequel news b) The look of his armor c) Being heavily promoted in the 90’s with Shadows of the Empire, the Bounty Hunter War novels, and his appearances in the Special Editions He is, admittedly, a cool design.

Sure, I know about the subsequent stuff. I liked the John Wagner comics a lot. It's what his profile was like before any of that existed that makes me curious.

Eh, he was initially portrayed as a badass and kids latched onto that, even if he kind of sucked in subsequent films.

It's sort of amusing that one of the more unpopular changes to the special edition version of ROTJ (even with the actor who played him) was Fett flirting with Jabba's dancers.

Confirmed: It's a Mandolorian. https://www.starwars.com/news/the-mandalorian-revealed quote:Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels) directing the first episode. Additional episodic directors include Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Rick Famuyiwa (Dope), Bryce Dallas Howard (Solemates), and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok). EDIT: I really really want the thing on his back to be the electric prod thing Boba has in the Holiday Special.

I noticed that they don't gender the character in the summary and the armor is bulky enough that it could be a woman. If they pull a Samus it will be something to see everyone praising the show because they assume the lead is male now try to walk that back.

It would be pretty cool if they revealed at the end of the first episode that it was a woman. Pascal can be her dopey sidekick.

That armor looks fantastic, and I'm really interested to see what the actual concept is. Because even as someone who loves Mandalorians, if they just play it completely straight or basically just make him Jango/Boba Fett bounty hunter clone, I feel like that'd be a bit disappointing. (unless they Samus it, in which case, I am completely 100% on-board.  )

Does anyone think Bryce Dallas Howard is a weird choice, given her CV? I'd have expected someone more like Michelle MacLaren or Lesli Linka Glatter.

I think the bigger news is Dave Filoni directing the pilot/first episode. His first live action directing gig, after doing a few more episodes of futures seasons/shows he could direct a starwars movie in a few years time. Now Howard just needs to get his other daughter a job in starwars, Rebel Alley.
