The inevitable watering down of the franchise was my biggest concern when Disney purchased the rights to SW. I didn't think they could do it anymore anymore than they already have.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see an Early Adventures of Jar Jar series at some time down the road. I don't even want to consider the possibility of a live action Ezra at some point.

I just want it to be a series of Jedi missions before the Clone Wars. Kind of like Star Trek.

This could either kick ass or suck major d1ck. I'm thinking the latter...

Nah. I'd rather there be no Jedi. They should focus on something else for once.

Darth Thor

Raptor22
Yeah I'm with u Thor, I wouldn't want them to cheapen lightsaber duels either. I say keep them special, like having Ezra shoot stun orbs out of his hilt, or the grand inquisitor spinning his over his head and flying away.

Sry bud, but I think Disney already delved down that "cheapened" rabbit hole.

playa1258
Some regular non-force users would be a good start.

Potential Show Ideas:

1. How I Became the Senate

2. Sand, Lightsabers, and Deathsticks

3. The Adventures of Meesa

4. One and a Half Droids

5. The Counts of Serrenno

6. The Big "Do It" Theory

7. A Jedi's Guide to Treason

8. Just Another Happy Landing

UCanShootMyNova
@Thor: There wouldn't be lightsaber duels. I mean, I doubt most pre TCW Jedi missions involved engaging another lightsaber wielding opponent.

Not really the strongest of cases, but then I'm more partial to animated than live action for certain shows, SW being one of them...movies aside.

AncientPower
Prequel era is absolutely off limits with Disney. Rebels is finishing already. Battlefront II and the Aftermath books have taken up the OT-ST space quite considerably. TLJ and IX is finishing off the ST era permanently. We already have Kenobi and Han Solo standalones, as well as the Vader comics, filling in the OT era.

Given all of that. Any Canon timeline is already overly booked. It's either set after the ST or it's TOR related.

It being TOR is not nearly as farfetched as one might think. They've already given EAWare special precedence for continuing their era, they also went the extra step of making sure the Chiss expansion aligns with the Disney Canon Story Group.

That's hardly overwhelming evidence but it is a possibility. The same is true for the Johnson trilogy.

DarthAnt66
I feel it's most likely an Underworld show with Boba Fett and the like.

godemperortrump
Yay now they can butcher TOR characters.

AncientPower
That was cancelled and shelved though.

DarthAnt66
It was, but I imagine they'll do a similar theme. A TOR show seems like it'd be far too expensive.

What's there to butcher?

Zentrex
There are so many things to wonder about this show. So many things which can go wrong.

What will the genre be? Comedy? Action? Horror? What will it focus on? The main ideas here seem to be either Jedi, or the crime world. But there are other options, you could make it about the Sith, or politics, or some other type of life we've yet to see in the star wars universe.

I honestly think there are many, many direction this show can be taken in, and it would be very interesting if it was taken in all of them. You know, have one episode be about a certain set of characters, another about another set of characters, maybe follow a few consistent chains of characters and settings.

I'd really like to see something new. Like, in Canot Bight (The novel and the scene in the movie), we're shown a side of star wars we were never shown before. Maybe it'll be about some random people between the Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. It all seems very interesting to me.

The problem I have with bringing legends into canon is that having this new canon gives us the opportunity to do something completely different, and reshape the entire look of the Star Wars expanded universe, and so I would be a little disappointed if they just made the old republic the same as it was in legends. I want to see something new, a new kind of history. Maybe the Republic doesn't have its origins that far back. Maybe the Jedi weren't part of the Republic then. I just want to see something different.

Freedon Nadd
Who would want a show about Sith? Most wouldn't. It may make the Sith, less monster-y.

Darth Thor
They are not holding back on the budget.

$100 million for a 10episode season. So should look very cinematic like Star Trek Discovery does.

Is also based shortly after ROTJ:

http://comicbook.com/starwars/amp/2018/08/07/star-wars-live-action-series-budget-length/


Ive also heard its based on Mandalore. If true thats Quite fitting given series creator Favreau voiced Pre-Vizsla.

Tzeentch
As long as it's not plucky underdogs fighting The Man I don't give a shit what it's about.

But this is Disney so it will almost certainly be about plucky underdogs fighting The Man.

victreebelvictr
I would hope that they release more on the prime jedi

Galan007
Hmm.

Voicing Pre Vizsla must have really left an impact with Favreau. Can't say the initial premise here really peaks my interest, but we'll see.

Darth Thor
Sorry Galan think these need merging:

http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f6/t647647.html

Galan007
*Merged.

Darth Thor
Wow we have a useful mod now.

As for this, Im guessing it means they have scrapped the Boba Fett movie idea. As it would essentially end up being the same kind of thing.

Galan007
Yeah, a Boba Fett film seems like it would be completely redundant with this project in the works.

Dunno, I'll wait for more information to be released about this series, but given the era it is set in, my initial thought is that I really don't care. Of all the stories they could have gone with they choose a lone Mandalorian in a space-western. Meh.

NTJack0
Definitely wasn't interested in more Mando crap, oh well.

Yeah not sold on the time period. But I do have faith in Favreaus creative talent. So its mostly his name that has me intrigued.

Don't even get me started, this all started in TCW with pacifying them! Also now looking bad on it...did anyone find the combat kinda....dead in the shows?

Maybe more Rebels with the blaster fights, but they seemed really...not all that interesting.

juggernaut74
So does this confirm that Bobba dies in ROTJ? I can't see them wasting Bobbas story on TV.

He is on the list of directors for the first season I believe. Which was always an obvious move for him. Hes been directing and producing on animation for long enough.

Star Wars has endured through so much, so why not this?
And it's not possible that Disney just happens to pool their money and most successful talents into work that just turns out to be garbage.

Maybe it's just to do with how the fanbase talks about star wars now. Maybe it's to do with the "political" direction Kathleen Kennedy has taken. I don't know. It seems there's something else going on than just the content being "bad". Because the bad content of Star Wars used to be for only fans of Star Wars. The bad content of Star Wars is now for everyone, and that makes them fans of Star Wars.

The main stuff is being blasted with shit and political agendas.

That's the difference. You used to have to read a shitty novel or a bad comic to find truly awful shit. Now you can watch a movie to find comparable things. The bad is thrown in your face a little bit more.

Obviously not all the canon is bad. But it doesn't help when people find the main attraction shit.

I guess it's a mix of what you're saying and what Mob said. I mean I'm not saying all the current Disney stuff is bad, I certainly liked Vader's first comic series and a few issues of the main Marvel SW series. But so far? That's really been it..the concepts they're bringing over from Legends certainly haven't been enticing either.

I haven't exactly followed what KK has done, but I have heard about what she's said, about what JJ and Johnson said and it's just.....ugh.

Galan007
A few recently leaked set photos reveal extras in Stormtrooper armor:
https://i.imgur.com/FZxjhuC.jpg

Considering this series is supposed to take place 2 years after RotJ, it's interesting to see Stormtroopers still around. There are obviously several possible explanations, but one "?" posed by the producers was interesting...



mmm

Zenwolf
The 2nd seems more plausible. ....Still irked how they handled the aftermath of the war.../hiss. <.<

Also I have a bad feeling about this series..

Galan007
My major holdup is that I really don't give a shit about this random Mandalorian and his hijinks in the outer rim. The premise just isn't appealing to me at all, tbh.

Maybe it'll end up being good. Dunno. I just couldn't care less about it right now. /shrug

Yeeah...it's kinda hard to get into it when the Mandalorians haven't....really been great in this new Canon, least for me. Didn't really care much for them in Rebels....TCW the only good thing about em was the DeathWatch and even then it kinda was solely on Vizsla.

Much prefer the Mandalorians pre-Canon reboot.

Pedro Pascal was cast as the lead role:

Oh wow

Galan007
A recent set photo shows one of the actors in what appears to be Death Trooper armor, standing alongside the actors in Storm Trooper armor. So that's interesting.


Also, Gina Carano joins the cast in a yet undefined role:

Im officially more excited for this now then for the R1 prequel. But looking forward to both tbh.

I guess the R1 prequel has more potential for PT/OT cameos though.

So it would seem that IG-88 will also be part of the roster...

Darth Thor
^ Classic Bounty Hunters (or their equivalent). More evidence this show is clearly a replacement for the Boba Fett film.

Now that I think about it, Solo probably would have been better as a series as well. A bit silly wasting a film on him meeting Chewie, winning the Falcon and doing the Kessel Run. Could have easily fitted in those things while focusing on a bigger space adventure series over a 10episode season.

TheIndyJedi
Looking forward to this more than episode 9 tbh. Also didn't Favreau direct the 1st Iron Man film? Yeh I have a feeling this going to be good

Darth Thor
^ Yeah he did. So he basically kicked off the Iron Franchise and the entire MCU.

He also directed Jungle Book. And he voiced Pre-Vizsla in TCW, so this is right up his alley. Still would have liked him to direct a Star Wars film though.

I cant see any reason to be excited for Episode 9. Will see if the first trailer can do anything to change that.

better have a different voice then what he had for Korg, He was okay for Korg with all the comedy Ragnarok had in it.

ares834
I kinda like it. The contrast between the voice and the appearance sounds like it could be fun. It'll never happen in a million years, but I'd love if they alluded to IG-88 hacking the second Death Star.

Ok, I just watched the trailer.

Bounty hunters regularly encase people in carbonite, now? roll eyes (sarcastic)

In any case, the first 5 minutes of TFA looked decent, too - then the PC-propaganda started to creep in.

Purchase at your own peril.

- Also, not sure if Disney deserves our money after what they did to Luke Skywalker.

Galan007
Lol.

It seems like some of you guys hate just to hate. Don't get me wrong, I completely understand some degree of pessimism when it comes to Disney canon, given its subpar track record thus far... But objectively speaking, this trailer looks pretty damn promising, imo.

That kinda kills it for me..the character I mean. But maybe on screen it'll be different, but the way that was sounding...

Also guess further confirmation Boba and Jango aren't Mandos in this continuity.

ares834
Yes, he will be. He is being voiced by Taika Waititi. I'm fine with a comedic droid like HK-47 but I doubt they will go that angle. And even if they do, the voice actor's voice is incredibly grating and I don't see it working.

Wellp, apparently this show is gonna have political messaging. I just hope it's not like..about our own RL stuff and more SW related, but we'll see.

Galan007
Not surprised.

This is supposed to be set in a period of political instability: after the Empire was brought down, but before the New Republic was established and strong enough to police the galaxy with any sort of efficiency.

Like you said, I just don't want to see any real world political bleedover in the show... ermm

It's not even just about SW, but rather everything these days....there's always some kinda agenda or false reports or whatever being written just for views or likes or to make 'entertainment'. Like just give me the truth, I don't care about all this nonsense or biased against so and so...your job is to write what is actually going on.

If you want to write a story, then become a novelist or something.

It's like there's no real journalism or critics anymore and you basically have to be an eye witness to get any kind of truth, which can be difficult or near impossible depending on what it is.

I mean I get critics are criticizing about something that can be viewed one way or the other, but be reasonable about it ya know?

He was introduced in the final film of the OT. But its the PT that developed him and made him as popular as he is today. He is Primarily a PT (and EU) Villain.

Wait, what? He's the main antagonist in ROTJ. The prequels might have expanded on his story, but he was still very much a major villain in the OT.

He was obviously the main bad guy of ROTJ. But His popularity is mainly due to the prequels. Heck we didnt even get his name in ROTJ.

Vader was the main villain of the OT. Palpatine only in ROTJ with the purpose of making the main villain of the OT a sympathetic and redeemable character.

Palpatine's whole schtick is appearing in third films for the sake of redeeming other characters really.

Honestly, I'm not sure I agree. Though I can see why someone could see things your way, so I can't argue either.

Fair enough.

On top of Palpatines return though there was the Maul cameo in Solo and then theres the Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan series confirmed.

So does few like they are trying to get Prequel fans back on board. A big change given how when Force Awakens came out they were pretty much distancing themselves from all things Prequel.

Zenwolf
So 2nd trailer came out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmI7WKrAtqs

Again looks nice and actiony, but I'm still kinda skeptical given well...everything else. Just cause something is made by someone good, doesn't mean that it can't fail anyway.

Still from what's shown in the trailer, it looks neat. I just hope what the trailer shows, isn't all the good stuff.

Although wtf is that Trooper doing at 0:58?...His gun is clearly so far passed the door, that isn't necessary and gives you away..why?..

Looks great. Just dont like this new trend of final trailers giving no clue to the plot.

They certainly seem to be doing just that.

What I'm doing and yes, I blame them for making me do it. I have no choice.
