 Welcome to the Star Wars TV Show Megathread! Seeing as how we now have multiple Star Wars based television shows, and can't stop talking about the old ones, we decided a megathread would be the best way to handle things moving forward. So let's see what we have coming, and where we've been! The Mandalorian  https://i.imgur.com/SEKpWBR.mp4 From Wikipedia: "Beginning five years after the events of Return of the Jedi (1983) and the fall of the Galactic Empire, The Mandalorian follows Din Djarin, a lone Mandalorian bounty hunter in the outer reaches of the galaxy. He is hired by remnant Imperial forces to retrieve the child Grogu, but instead goes on the run to protect the infant. While looking to reunite Grogu with his kind, they are pursued by Moff Gideon, who wants to use Grogu's connection to the Force." The Mandalorian is the flagship of Star Wars television, at the moment. Three seasons are currently done and available on Disney+, with a fourth apparently already written. If you haven't watched it yet, what are you waiting for? Get on it! The Bad Batch  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsOmYpP4UDU The Bad Batch follows a group of "defective" yet enhanced Clones who are navigating a post Clone Wars galaxy, during the rise of the Empire. The show has finished its first two seasons, but the third and final season is currently airing, and so far it's been amazing. Andor  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKOegEuCcfw A prequel to Rogue One, telling the story of Andor. Widely considered to be the best TV show, and maybe the best media, Star Wars has ever produced. Ahsoka  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnzNZ0Mdx4I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvt8FhkDIEg A lot of us really wanted to like this one. And It's not really bad. Some episodes are even truly great. But it could have been much better. That being said, I'm a big defender (I mean, it has Thrawn, of course I'm gonna go to bat for it), and I maintain it has one of the best single episodes of Star Wars TV (non-Andor category) ever. Just go in expecting a slow burn. Season 2 incoming, hopefully building on the setup from season 1. The Book of Boba Fett  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOJ1cw6mohw One season show (...so far) that was met with mixed reviews. Most people agree that, when it was a third season of Mando, it was pretty good. Problem is, that's not what it was suppose to be, and it didn't stand on it's own very well, if at all. Still it's unfortunately required viewing if you want to keep watching Mando. Obi-Wan Kenobi   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWTfhyvzTx0 It's...pretty bad. Which was disappointing to a lot of us. But it has some great moments, few and far between as they are. And it may get a second season? Though I'm personally hoping they move on. That being said, your mileage may vary. And it has Hayden Christensen reprising his role as both Anakin and Vader, so that's at least worth a look. Older Shows Since we're Star Wars fans who can't stop talking about anything ever feel free to discuss the following older shows here as well! Star Wars: The Clone Wars  The Clone Wars originally ran for 6 seasons, and told the story of, well, those fighting in the Clone Wars. Anakin and Obi-Wan fought side by side, Anakin gained a padawan named Ahsoka (who, if you're new to the show, you're going to probably dislike at first, but give her some time. They hit a stride with her around half way through season 2, and by the end of the show is one of my favorite Star Wars characters). It also featured a wide variety of Clones, somehow, with each cultivating different personality traits. Basically, this show is great. A little slow to start, but once they figure it out (again, about half way through season 2, and then definitely in season 3) it's a beast. The show was revived for a 7th and final season. Opinions on the season as a whole are mixed, but basically everyone agrees that the final 4 episodes are amazing, and are required viewing for all Star Wars fans. Star Wars: Rebels  Rebels ran for 4 seasons on DisneyXD. It was set during the height of the Empire, beginning around 5 years before the events of A New Hope, and told the story of a small Rebel cell, initially trying to keep the Empire out of their home planet, before being pulled into the larger galactic conflict. The general consensus seems to be that the animation and story started a bit rough, but didn't take long to get better. And by the end, it looked like this.  So if you're new to the show, don't be disheartened at the beginning. You're in for something special. The entire show is available on Disney+. Star Wars Resistance  Resistance was a two season show that is...not great, but if you're looking for a kid's show about pilots in Star Wars set during the time of the Sequel Trilogy, you'll probably enjoy yourself. Just remember, it's first and foremost a kid's show, and Filoni is not involved much past the initial setup of the show. Upcoming Shows Not much is known about these shows, so I'll just be listing them here, and posting premiere dates as they become known. The Acolyte  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtytYWhg2mc June 5th, 2024 Rangers of the New Republic  Future uncertain, possibly being retooled, possibly cancelled, because Gina Carano turned out to be an rear end in a top hat. Lando  Web Series I guess I might as well include these here, too.  Star Wars: Forces of Destiny Forces of Destiny is a series of short videos made for YouTube focusing on the various female characters and what they're up to when not on screen. They're fine, harmless fun, and lets the original actors (in most cases) play around with some lighter fare as voice actors. 2 seasons so far, you can knock them all out in an afternoon if you feel like it. First episode can be found here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVVa2g4X4MU Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wsHRyLWgWg Seems to be animated shorts remaking the entire film saga, including the existing dialogue.

So let's do this thing!

I think the opening post is more explaining the current state of semi-active shows that are canon. Yes to everything in this post.

That's...wait, that has to either be a mistake, or by "Buy Season 1", they mean only the episodes currently available, so it's only the first episode still. I can't see how that would be for the full season coming. edit: One comment in that thread said, "Yea I seem to recall this same mistake with Season 1 of Rebels. They canceled then, but worth a try!

jivjov posted:About 6 months prior to TFA, yeah Doesn’t this happen at the end of the hour long premiere? It must, because that’s all I’ve seen so far, and I saw it. Anyway, enjoyed the hell out of the first episode. A lot of fun, great ship designs, and I loved the hodgepodge of stuff from all 3 trilogy eras. My 2 year old daughter was hooked by the colorful visuals, so that’s a win as well. (She calls all Star Wars things she sees “pew pew”, and breathes deeply whenever she sees Darth Vader.) Can’t wait for some characters and ships to show up in Galaxy of Heroes and somehow break the meta. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 12:39 on Oct 9, 2018 |

I remember a few months before AOTC came out, a blow by blow plot description of the entire movie leaked. I remember getting as far as “Death sticks” and saying, “Never mind, this sounds like bullshit” and moving then. Flash forward to sitting in the theater, and everything I had read being right. “No...no surely not...”, “You wanna buy some death sticks?” “God dammit.”

George Lucas Visits “Mandalorian” Setquote:Favreau had his birthday today and he scored a surprise present – a visit to the set by none other than George Lucas himself with the pair taking a photo together. Lucas steered clear of the ‘Force Awakens’ and ‘Last Jedi’ sets, but did visit both “Rogue One” and “Solo”.

Wheat Loaf posted:I haven't revisited that teaser in years (it's kind of weird that we can already say "years" when reckoning time since Star Wars movies started getting made again) and I'm surprised Harrison Ford going, "Chewie, we're home!" wasn't on the end of it. I was sure that was from the first trailer because I believe that that one shot, more than anything else, was what really sold the movie. That was at the end of the trailer shown at Celebration that year. Because they wanted the video of the crowd going bonkers over it to go viral. This was indeed the first teaser and “ended” (before the Falcon money shot) with the triple bladed lightsaber. Just like the first teaser for TPM showed the double bladed saber. And the first teaser for original Star Wars showed Obi-Wan and the single bladed saber. It’s a whole thing, if maybe just by coincidence.

Me: “Hmm, that trailer looks like they’ll be getting into bigger plots that connect to a larger story. Maybe this show is turning into something in the second half of the season.” New episode: “The gang gets a pet!” Me: *sigh* Yes, the pet sets up a plot where a huge monster attacks the station, but it was obviously the pet’s mother but we all have to pretend we don’t know that. And I feel like I’ve seen this exact plot done better on Star Trek and/or Doctor Who. I want to like you show. You’re just not making it very easy.

Yeah, but the thing is people were right to say things like that about early Rebels. It was a rough start, and wasn’t all that good until the end of the first season. Maybe that will happen here, too. But that doesn’t mean it’s wrong to be disappointed in the meantime. I’m also worried that, with this seeming to be aimed at a younger audience, that won’t happen. Which is fine, this can be a perfectly good kid’s show that I’ll keep watching with my toddler daughter who calls the show “Pew Pew”. We’ll just have to see.

Cross-Section posted:It's mainly just supposition. "Next base" would imply that it at least isn't D'Qar, since it's been established that the Resistance has been based there before the series began. But it could be a different planned next base. Crait seemed like an emergency plan when they were being tracked through hyperspace. And they were only there for a moment. I figure the Falcon will head to the planned next base, and the show crew will head there and meet up.
