Not really feeling Resistance. The animation/art style is great, but the characters and VA were really bad imo. Rebels and Clone Wars left a really solid first impression when I watched their pilot episodes. This one just fell flat for me for some reason :(

Suck it up. Enjoy it for what it is.

This feels needlessly aggressive. Especially considering that a fair few of us will admit that Rebels had a pilot that left us cold for a show we later warmed up to. I’m watching tomorrow so fingers crossed I don’t have the wrong opinion I guess.

It's not aggressive, i'm just English.

I'm saying enjoy it for what it is and suck up the stuff you don't like.

Lucas made Red Tails and i love him for that, regardless problems with the script.

Finally could make a dogfight movie with craft that fly like they are supposed to.

Is red tails anywhere near as good as the Tuskegee Airmen?

I don't remember much of the original. But the battle scenes are good, and the planes are beautiful.
My history on the subject isn't up to spec since i stopped skinning warbird games. I would assume there is a lot of liberties taken with the story, and it skims over a lot of the incredibleness of the pilots.

I don't think Hamill was turned into an "alt-right figurehead" over that by anyone, though.

I feel like most of the detractors of TLJ don't like the prequel movies either (because they subverted their expectations :v:) so I imagine the most you'd get is "Even incompetent jackass George Lucas hates xyz!"


Though if Spielberg had directed it...

I'll settle for The Mighty Eighth series.

This also seems like an opportunity to bring back Enfys Nest. She's actually around the exact same age as Cassian.

I also have to think Emilia Clarke has more free time now, seems like a Crimson Dawn series would be feasible in and of itself.

She's 20, Luna is 38.

To me there's also the layer that anything Star Wars seems like a license to print money between the money the show makes, toys, etc. I'd give all my Star Wars shows a solid 4-5 season run minimum, that way you've gotten that merch money and you have a nice set of content to market around. Eventually one of them will be utterly horrible, probably one of the live action shows if they keep going that route with that being more complicated than animation and less aimed at kids, and Disney have been surprisingly skittish from my perspective when things go bad (slowing down or outright cancelling some spinoff movies after Solo didn't do great), but until then unless you're intentionally trying to make some wild anthology series like an Obi-Wan 8-10 episode thing I'd definitely be in immediate renewal mode.

Printing star wars money requires spending disney money. This isn't your usual bums in seats type deal, it could go balls up financially for them. In theory

drat both TCW and Mando previews are amazing. Well, from the pictures of the Mando at least. I hope the preview footage gets put online soon.

I guess Ashoka will have some contact with at least Anakin before the events of ROTS.

The audio is pretty good on my computer, for a phone video anyway. i can hear everything.

The best thing about the video that got taekn down was John Fav explained when it's set. 5 years after RToJ

Placing bets at what episode Bill Burr dies. I've got him lasting 6 and dying in some epic moment where he gets a thermal detonator off first.

the mandalorian looks alright, but it does the thing that every extended star wars thing has to do where it does the thing from the movies - e.g. han solo being encased in carbonite, which was implied to be an extreme and personal punishment from jabba where he used an industrial process on a human for sheer cruelty and also to display him in public, but in the mandalorian he does it to EVERY TARGET APPARENTLY

I'm tipping it's the bounty hunter's guild collection, i wouldn't read too much into it without watching it.

Seems like it's around the same time as Alphabet Squadron, right after Endor and Jakku, but before the New Republic really gets going. So, maybe five to ten years after Yavin on the outside, which would make Sabine somewhere from 26 to 31? Maaaaaybe, but seems a bit of a stretch, frankly. But who knows? :shrug:

So I read Filoni is apparently really well-liked by Kathleen Kennedy, and he's being groomed to be the new 'Lucas' type creative lead for Disney-brand Star Wars moving forward. No idea how true that is since it was just from some random blurb in the comments section on io9. I also came across this tweet in the comments section though:
