Star Wars Megathread

Not that surprising.

Not that surprising.

Maybe it should have been a made for streaming film. Plot felt tissue paper thin over multiple episodes.

They had some good ideas (and a lot of very bad ones lol) but it felt like a first draft that got green lit and then never revised. The writing was so very bad. Also, at 180 million I have to imagine there was some embezzlement going on

Seems odd that Disney hasn't released anything official yet about it being cancelled. It is all traced back to one Deadline article that only names "sources" for the information. It could very well be true, but it just seems odd. Especially when tie-in books, comics, and the like were just announced at D23.

No Acolyte season 2.

That has been known, not officially I guess, for months

[crazy canuck]

I am not sure where they would have taken the story without having to rewrite the History of the High Republic, in the style of Oliver Stone.

Maybe that was the ChatGPT prompt the script writers used?

I know almost nothing about The Acolyte. I randomly watched a YT video about an elevator door that was presented as stupid, and if the video didn't lie it did seem a bit silly.

Still no word from Disney, I don't think. If it was fake news^TM you'd think there'd be a rebuttal. As for the books and comics, those are much cheaper and less scrutinized.

If that bothers you wait until you get to the magical fire in SW

Somehow ended up in wrong thread

Pretty pumped. I'm going to see The Empire Strips Back tonight. They're an Australian based internationally touring burlesque trope that does a Star Wars themed show. I've been following them for years hoping they'd make it locally and they finally have! I plan on rocking a Naboo Handmaiden look when I go tonight.

Nice

Random shower thought: I've never been a big fan of Hondo in the Clone Wars and Rebels shows. He starts as pirate villain doing some bad stuff and becomes increasingly  goofy later on. There's a bunch of people who like him, though.

I've softened on him a bit - I realized he's basically Tuco from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. And seeing him through that lense I suddenly like his character a lot more.

Hondo is great, but they ended making him too much of a good guy by the last seasons of Rebels imho. I liked him better as a goofy amoral foil/situational ally.

He was victim of the Star Wars Disney disease of "every fan favorite has to eventually become a good guy".

Not only in Disney. Happened (happens?) in wrestling all the time, too. "Fans really like this heel character, imagine how much more they will like them as face!"
