how dare you!
I just call it like it is! I still can't get people to watch Andor because it's "boring".

ya but where does ryan reynolds fit into all of this?
to be fair letterkenny problems GIF


If they just put Deadpool in it that would guarantee another $300M box office
 

They're changing Galaxy's Edge to the Original Trilogy era. I don't think they're changing anything physically about Batuu but you'll no longer be seeing Rei and Kylo Ren and First Order troops roaming around... It'll be Vader, Luke, and Stormtroopers.

I had more time to read about this…

It’s currently only Disneyland although folks think Walt Disney World will follow shortly thereafter.

While Black Spire Outpost will all be Return of the Jedi to Mando set (so between 4-9ABY) the Resistance Base around Rise of the Resistance will remain in the sequel era (with the appropriate characters over there).

Characters that span eras like R2 and Chewy will roam between both. Oga’s Cantina will revert to earlier in the timeline in the story where it has just opened. Signage in the outpost will all be updated to reference the earlier timeline.

Millennium Falcon Smuggler’s Run is scheduled to change into a Mando & Grogu ride already this summer in line with the film release (already planned).

I like this plan honestly. I do think in a decade or so they’re going to fully redress Rise of the Resistance to the Original Trilogy but that’s going to be a giant cost to so. That’s a billion dollar ride, remember.

Way easier to make Smuggler's Run into an OT ride. I don't want them to do my boy Hondo dirty though

Way easier but it will make that ride timeless if/when they do it. I think the Sequel Trilogy is losing (or has lost) its' shine to theme park goers. Otherwise they wouldn't be spending the money to do all this stuff.

Walking into that land in 10 years I honestly think it might be more likely that you'd see something from the Prequel era than the Sequel Era. Especially with Mr. Clone Wars at the helm of Lucasfilm now. Gen Zs love the prequel era more than anything because they're little weirdos who like interstellar trade politics.
 
SW is gonna flame out hard with Filoni at the helm. I love the cartoons but guy doesn't have the juice for live action. On top of that it feels like he's gonna try and be Feige-esque and have his hands in everything. Give talent the means to play in the sandbox and get the fuck out of the way. Also no more Skywalker shit. Give me the Patty Jenkins Rogue Squadron movie. Top Gun Star Wars sounds like fun

If You Say So Shrug GIF
 
The thing I can say about Filoni is that he is absolutely passionate about SW. Yes, he is sort of obsessed with a certain era of SW and that might hurt SW overall - but he's not some dipshit who just wants to churn out fuckloads of garbage to make money. He needs someone to kind of rein him in a bit, and he needs to sort of "let go" and let creatives do COOL SHIT - but his passion isn't a detriment.

I worked on a SW game, I've met him, I've been up to the campus in SF. He's a good dude and I wish him luck.
He needs a good editor and someone who knows how to tell him “NO” and reel him in when necessary. He gets lost in fanboy minutiae that most people don’t care about.

Filloni feels a bit too much like a case of the inmates running the asylum.
 
kinda bored of him at this point honestly
I really dig the whole Star Wars crime syndicate thing so I might be biased.

I was surprised by the amount of violence in the trailer but this is a man that literally is only alive because he channels rage through the Dark Side.
 

Been really enjoying some of the Star Wars: Tales Untold AI stuff. I think every video has flaws but I like the idea of feeding stuff from Legends into AI with drawn storyboards (which I believe is what they’re doing here) and seeing what happens since Disney seems to have zero interest in this stuff.
 


This guy is working on recreating Colin Trevorrow's Star Wars Episode IX: Duel of the Fates in AI. Hammil is in this 8 minute clip more than he was in the real Episode IX. Haha.

They really cut this opening? It's fucking neat.

There's a lot of real VFX in here, but dear lord it's crazy what nerds can do now. Really looking forward to the days of independent creatives making cinema quality movies, the same way Youtubers are making TV quality shows now. Yes, you'll have to dig through slop, but there is going to be a lot of quality projects from small teams.

There are really only a few scenes and the voice acting that stick out as not film quality.
