TV Disney+ Star Wars Shows (Mandalorian, BoBF, Bad Batch, etc)

[rlh]

Enjoying it so far. One of the best Star Wars TV shows, if not the best. Has a gritty, real feel to it and is reminiscent of the original trilogy and prequel to a certain extent.

Coming in March. Pedro is crushing it out of the gates for 2023

I was disappointed with the first episode of Mandalorian season 3.
I usually enjoy this series, but this episode felt a bit aimless. I also feel sorry for those viewers who missed the Boba Fett series - they must be thoroughly confused seeing Mando in a new spaceship with Grogu by his side again.

SPOILERS...


According to the Armorer, the Mandalorians are few in number. I'm not surprised if they hold their initiation ceremony in the intergalactic version of Lake Placid..
I'm glad to see Carl Weathers return as High Magistrate Greef Karga and it feels as if the door might be open one day for Gina Carano as Cara Dune to return. But the pirates insisting in drinking in a former bar-turned-school made no sense, except to set up Mando with new opponents to dispose of. Also Mando resurrecting IG-11 felt more sentimental than logical.

And as for the Anzellans - ugh!

SWCE 2023: Three New Star Wars Movies Announced​

Today during Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy announced that three new live-action Star Wars films are on the way. Helming the movies are James Mangold (Logan, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny), Dave Filoni (The Mandalorian, Ahsoka), and Academy Award- and Emmy Award-winning director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (Ms. Marvel, Saving Face).

James Mangold’s movie will go back to the dawn of the Jedi, while Dave Filoni’s will focus on the New Republic, and close out the interconnected stories told in The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and other Disney+ series. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s film will be set after the events of Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker, and feature Daisy Ridley back as Rey as she builds a new Jedi Order.

Giving Rey another movie seems like a big fuck you from Kennedy to all the fans who weren't happy with her

First 2 eps of Ahsoka just dropped.

Looks like they're continuing with the Hottie Sith Apprentice angle.

They actually made a documentary about the infamous SW Holiday special.

Fans of the Ahsoka show will get this

Bad Batch series finale dropped

It was a nice ride. Spinoff worthy of 3 seasons.

Not sure if I'm going to bother with Acolyte. It seems like disney is just relying on controversy & trolling, instead of actual quality these days.

Not sure if I'm going to bother with Acolyte. It seems like disney is just relying on controversy & trolling, instead of actual quality these days.

You're dodging a bullet there. I watched the first two episodes and they were dodgy at best and the quality nosedived from there. It's almost funny how bad it's gotten. Almost if it wasn't for the fact that they've crapped on pretty much everything that was made before the Acolyte.

To demonstrate, you've got an actor who twice in an interview said Anakin destroyed the Death Star and no one corrected it. Now I accept that could be some form of clever trolling, but I don't see it. This week it has come out that the very same actor saying he didn't think someone like him could play a Jedi (paraphrasing), completely ignoring that shy retiring black guy who played a Jedi in three movies. Mr Samuel L Jackson.
It really looks like they have cast actors/actresses who have never watched anything Star Wars and didn't bother their backsides to do a bit of research after landing the role. Same with the writers, I think they went full Jodie Whittaker Dr Who and hired people who haven't read or seen anything Star Wars either.

Just my quick thoughts on it so far.


Spoiler (from episode three) for anyone who may actually be watching it. Do not read any more if you are and you are not up to date.







And we have the best bit. A group of women only force witches using the force for the immaculate conception of force using twins.
This week too, we have a Jedi from one of the movies who said they hadn't heard from the Sith for thousands of years, involved in the hunt for Sith.

It takes a very special talent to take a theme like "Lesbian space witches", and get Sci-Fi geeks to hate it.

Moderators, how do you report for misuse of the English language? Talent isn't the word for what's going on with the Acolyte.

This puts Star Wars in a different light...
