Did anyone else hear about Lucas' ST ideas? I mean, with hindsight, I guess we now know why he randomly decided to raise Maul from the dead  |

Did anyone else hear about Lucas' ST ideas? I mean, with hindsight, I guess we now know why he randomly decided to raise Maul from the dead Yeah I have two ideas about it. Either George knew he was done with movies so he decided to put the Maul stuff in TCW instead or was actually gearing up for a large connected underworld story before the Disney acquisition. It hadn't occurred to me before but it seems like there were many underworld focused projects that had been pitched before the sale. The Underworld show, 1313 and the Maul game are some we know of. But yeah I think the former was more likely. Even if Disney hadn't bought Star Wars, I can't really see George having made more movies. Maybe one but idk. But selling Star Wars was inevitable I feel. Unfortunately it seems Disney pulled some tricks on George and/or he didn't have the best legal team and that's why we are where we are today. Ie. bunch of cancelled projects and throwing all of his outlines in the bin |

Ie. bunch of cancelled projects and throwing all of his outlines in the bin I'm not sure if he didn't want to make movies anymore. He did say he wanted to be with his family more and we all know filmmaking is pretty all consuming. However, from the way the story went, he was going to make a ST and film them at his own studio that would be built near where he lived, but his neighbourhood said no, which is partly why he sold LucasFilm. Then he got permission to have affordable housing built instead, thus having the last laugh at his snooty, upper class neighbours I do wonder if Maul might have appeared in 1313 though. Apparently he was meant to be built up as the Godfather of crime in Star Wars, so it's very possible. |

Watched the new lego holiday special on D+
It was pretty dumb lol. Maybe kids will like it though. Lots of voice actors reprised their roles but they barely had any lines

They're saying 10 shows new for Star Wars... Damn that is kind of a lot lol. But I guess they're compensating for not doing movies? So we got:
Bad Batch
Obi-Wan
Cassian
Boba
Rebels sequel
These 5 seem to be the ones rumored the most but Batch and Obi-Wan are confirmed. I think even Boba has a high chance. The rebels sequel may end up being an Ahsoka show actually. Someone has floated animated High Republic and also a Ben Solo series.... I'd be down for anything honestly live action or animated as long as it has nothing to do with the sequels. Where are the prequel shows though? High Republic is the only one that's not in the Empire or post Empire era

Confirmed:
Star Wars: A Droid Story
Star Wars: The Acolyte
Star Wars: AHSoKA (Christmas 2021)
Star Wars: Andor (2022)
Star Wars: The Bad Batch
Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron (movie 2023)
Star Wars: Lando
Star Wars: Rangers of the New Republic (Christmas 2021)
Star Wars: Visions (anime?)
Also Indiana Jones lol. But these names are kinda lame af tbh lol. Also no way they're going to distance from the sequels now. Rogue Squadron, and Rangers are for sure in sequel territory. Ahsoka is around Mando time as well. No clue what The Acolyte is supposed to be... Ventress? Or Kylo....... Idk man I think some of these may be cool but I find it hard to enjoy when the sequels are still part of the story. Also no prequel stuff it seems like other than confirmation of Hayden in Kenobi. I thought there would be a high republic show honestly

Okay woah woah woah shits coming in wasn't expecting this lol. Nothing really for Cassian other than they said 12 episodes. Batch looks amazing... This might be what we needed to help explain some of the post Clone War events. Unfortunately not a big fan of the clones themselves but we'll see. But exploring the derelict republic stuff feels like Fallen Order. Even Andor had old Venator concept art. Would've just liked a Fallen Order show exploring that stuff lol

I thought there would be a high republic show honestly Disney is going full milk I guess... Also, A Droid Story? Is this the mythical Gonk droid show we have been waiting for? Have our prayers finally been answered? Nah for real though... Ahsoka sounds interesting. Lando seems interesting because it might continue Solo, which would involve Maul as well... The rest doesn't seem to exciting honestly. Kenobi could be fun with Obi-wan and Anakin being on the screen again in some way... but do we really need to see Obi-wan chilling in a desert for like 8 hours? Not sure how I feel about Bad Batch either... The animation looks a bit off, somewhere in between TCW and Rebels I guess. And while I like the Zygerians seem to be back and I am always up for some Sheev, nothing else in the trailer interests me. |

Oh by the way Acolyte is set in the "High Republic era" whatever that is. Doubt that will deal with Ventress.

Bad Batch should have been a show focused around Ahsoka and Rex (with involvement of other TCW characters like Hondo) and the rise of the rebellion. But since Rebels basically ruined the chances for that, we get this shit.

Kinda weird though because supposedly “the Sith have been extinct for a millennia”... Dark siders are not necessarily Sith but I don’t see how they could do a big story with them that would not be noteworthy to the Jedi Bad Batch should have been a show focused around Ahsoka and Rex (with involvement of other TCW characters like Hondo) and the rise of the rebellion. But since Rebels basically ruined the chances for that, we get this shit. I’m sure Ahsoka and Rex will make it in there |

I’m guessing most of these are a ways off. Bad Batch is clearly going to be the first one we get perhaps in spring or summer of next year. Then Mando in fall and after its season ends, Ahsoka begins. Then after that Cassian and Kenobi in 2022. Maybe some other animated stuff or the droid story if it’s nothing major in between

Nothing too mind blowing from Bad Batch. It certainly doesn't help that I don't really like them. Why couldn't they focus on Jedi and make it an anthology series? Or hell make it about Delta Squad instead, something... Rogue Squadron is about as boring and creatively uninteresting as I'd expect from Disney as their first post-TROS movie. Why are they so obsessed with the pilot aspect of Star Wars? It's one of the least interesting bits. A bit blind sided by Hayden coming back though, but it sounds like Vader and Obi-Wan are having a duel between 3 and 4? I'm not sure it's best to keep bending the canon like that, but we'll see how we go. I'm expecting some cool flashback scenes. Not too keen on Lando, or the Rangers show, the latter doesn't sound so great as it probably means more contrived explanations of how the New Republic got so retarded. Acolyte and Ahsoka sound cool though. I mean High Republic may be the closest we'll ever get to Old Republic content |

So... the Acolyte series will be set during the final days of the High Republic era, which apparently ended in 100 BBY, and focus on the Sith.
So that means we could be getting a Plagueis series. In legends Plagueis was born around 150 BBY... it is quite reasonable to think that, assuming his age is kept about the same, he would have become a Sith by 100 BBY. So unless the decanonize Plagueis as Palpatine's master (which apparently they planned to do for Episode 9) we are going to see Plagueis for sure.
So that sounds interesting tbh... maybe if we will even get a spin-off series about young Sheev...

It would automatically have an energy no Star Wars film has ever had before and it would be dealing with some fascinating characters. Honestly I'll never understand why they can't go ahead and make it. |

I thought when they announced her involvement they said it would be a female centric show. Not sure if things have changed |

They could have his master be female main character, even though his master was male in Legends. But if you want to do a Sith show in 100 BBY you can't really ignore Plageuis... unless they change canon to make Palpatine's master someone else. |

They could do his recruitment and training by Plageuis, his rise to Senator, Plageuis's experiments with midichlorians. So much potential. I kind of would like them to humanize Plageuis though. I think the Plagueis novel set him up to be more of a scientist and less of an evil dictator, which was interesting. |

Lots of interesting projects going on here, but only Bad Batch really showed us anything substantial. I'm not the biggest fan of them, but they could provide a cool lens to view the rise of the Empire. The trailer's reveal of a Zygerrian slaver and Tarkin definitely peaked my interest.
Ahsoka and Acolyte shows sound very promising. Also curious about the Kenobi show, not sure exactly what that will entail. Some flashbacks would be really nice. The Lando series will likely continue Solo and that could be awesome. Biggest downside is we know Maul's fate, but maybe they'll find a way to keep it interesting.

Honestly I feel like there isn't a story there for Kenobi. They'll probably prove me wrong but like it's mostly just gonna be Obi fucking around on Tatooine which doesn't sound super interesting. They'll probably go heavy on the fan service with clone wars and Anakin flashbacks and scatter a bunch of familiar objects in Obi's hut, maybe even give him that back pack from the mythos statue lol. People are worried about him and Vader actually fighting before ANH. Idk what to think I mean the ANH dialogue doesn't perfectly match the end of ROTS. And like we've seen Anakin and Dooku fight a lot. Even Luke and Vader fought before ESB in a comic although I have really mixed feelings about that...
Anyway I think Bad Batch is what I'm most excited for tbh. Like while they've done so much in that time period, somehow they haven't yet explored the clone stuff which I have a lot of questions about. Maybe Lando could be cool especially if Donald Glover is returning. I really want to see Bespin in live action again and I hope we see it there. Everything else I'm worried is going to tie into the sequels. Even Acolyte could show some bullshit about essence transfers or something to connect to TROS

Kathleen Kennedy apparently talked about one of the greatest rematchs of all time (or something like that). I don't think we need to see that. They had their fight... twice. That's enough. This isn't comparable to Dooku vs Anakin because the emotional connection between the two is far weaker. It is too bad Maul is dead... he would have been a perfect villain for Obi-wan in this show... as well as a great antagonist for the Lando series. Speaking of the Lando series, people seem to think it is animated... which seems like an odd choice considering we have live action Solo... |

Having a sort of Frankenstein type tale with Plaguis being the mad scientist in question would be amazing to see. I always found it weird though how he was still kicking right up to Phantom Menace. I feel like if they were going to partially adapt the novel, that's one part they can change. |

Star Wars works better as TV if you ask me. World building is the franchise's greatest strength and movies just don't have enough time to explore the universe in depth. But I guess I may be biased as I don't really like movies and prefer television in general. But you can do so much in terms of character development and story arcs and whatnot |

Plus I had no idea he was pretty handy with a guitar too! Didn’t he want to voice the Clones in the tv show at first too? I think the reason they didn’t is because his voice is kept unique for Boba/ Jango more so. But he’s done a lot of Boba voice work in video games. I know Hayden originally wanted to voice Anakin in the clone wars as well. But yeah Temeura is pretty big on Star Wars I think. I know Liam Neeson is as well, even Samuel L Jackson would probably come back if asked. The only big name that doesn’t like Star Wars that’s acted in it is Natalie Portman I think... |
