  1. What's new in this club
  2. You’re definitely not alone like Guy pointed out. The Internet hates “new” Star Wars, that being said, I for one prefer more content then less. I do agree that the newest trilogy had its faults. From the force awakens onward, the prequel trilogy essentially got worse film by film, but I still enjoyed them. The rise of Skywalker’s end was my least favorite, but I loved the force awakens and most of the last Jedi. Thr Snoke ben&rey scene in the last jedi was awesome imo. I’ve watched the force awakens maybe more times than I have watched any other Star Wars film and I’ve watched all of them at least ten times. I love all the animated content for the most part as well. At the end of the day I would prefer us to get content than to not get content.
  3. I doubt we'll see anyone else. John Boyega made his feelings pretty clear (and I don't blame him). Oscar Isaac has just become too big of an actor and I'm not sure he'd want to anyway. I think he mentioned he might come back if he decided he wants another house, ha. None of the major characters were pleased with how it all transpired. I think Daisy is mostly back to try to jump start her career again. It's a shame because the Rey's faults had nothing to do with her - I personally think she's an underrated actress. You know the answer to this, my friend! Chopper supremacy!!! You're definitely not the only one. Recent history makes it difficult to think any other way. I'm just trying to hold out hope that they have positively received the feedback from the sequel trilogy (and some of the D+ shows) and that we'll see some change. I have some faith in Filoni because he just seems to "get" Star Wars. IMO, he's having a problem adapting to live action though.
  4. Hi all, More news came out as the weekend progressed. I added that info to the original post. It's about Return of the Jedi's return to theaters and also news regarding The Bad Batch, Visions, and Tales of the Jedi. Here is the trailer for Visions Volume 2:
  5. Am I the only one who doesn't trust this? The only one who thinks they're going to "wear out" the mythos, and that the further they move away from George Lucas the worse things get? That they haven't learned from previous failures. That they think that just by putting the "StarWars" brand on it, it's all good enough. Maybe I'm the only one. But it's my opinion. For me there's more StarWars in Episode III than in the whole third trilogy put together. And I have that third trilogy at home on Blu-ray and 4K. But it's another thing what I think of it. Will they go so far as to make "the force" seem like just another superpower like any trendy superhero? The only thing I liked about this news is that at least they chose James Mangold. I think his work on "Logan" is sublime, it would be even epic if it wasn't for that sugary Spielberg touch at the end. All my respect and admiration for George Lucas, wherever he is. He was criticised a lot, and he had hits and misses, but everything he did smelled of StarWars from afar. Some of us miss him (a lot).
  6. F to the UCK YES...... We saw Chopper and Hera in this trailer too (not to mention the back of Thrawn's head) and Zeb in Mandalorian....REBELS FOREVER BABY
  7. Where are we that have trouble seeing these suppose to see all of these?🤓
  8. Yes, totally agree! I'm looking forward to seeing more of Rey's story. I didn't love how the sequel trilogy ended but I still love the characters—wonder if they'll bring in anybody else from the sequel trilogy...
  9. Love the attention to the Jedi arc. Looking forward to Rey's inner Palpatine creating some trauma, drama, electric fingers? Thanks for this updated! Not thrilled Andor will end, but I get it. These limited series are going to fit in to the larger epic.
  10. Hello all, Here is a summary of the big news coming out of Star Wars celebration: Three new live-action Star Wars films are currently in development. James Mangold (3:10 to Yuma, Ford v Ferrari, Logan) has been hired to direct a film centered around the first Jedi. Dawn of the Jedi is described as a biblical epic and will take place during the Old Republic era. Dave Filoni will direct a live-action film which will bring together the events of the "Mandoverse". It will showcase the "escalating war between the Imperial remnant and the New Republic." Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's film will take place 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker and focus on the rebuilding of the Jedi order. Daisy Ridley will reprise her role as Rey. "Andor" Season Two Will Debut August 2024 A trailer was shown to those in attendance but, otherwise, a trailer has not been released to the public. It will be the final season. "Acolyte" will debut sometime in 2024 This "mystery thriller series" takes place near the end of the High Republic Era, about 100 years prior to the events of the prequel trilogy. The director, Leslye Headland originally pitched the series as "Frozen" meets "Kill Bill"from the bad guys' perspective. The plot will center around the emergence of the Sith Samurai films are reportedly a large inspiration "Skeleton Crew", a TV series featuring Jude Law, will release near the end of 2023 Honestly, I'm still having a hard time finding out much about this one It will focus on a group of kids (about 10 years old) lost in the galaxy and finding their way home. It is said to have been inspired by The Goonies. Various directors have been revealed for the series, including Jon Watts, David Lowery, The Daniels duo, Jake Schreier, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Lee Isaac Chung. So far, no new news on the previously announced Rian Johnson and Taika Waititi projects. "The Bad Batch" has been renewed for a third and final season. "Star Wars: Visions" has been renewed for a second season. This is the series that turns over the Star Wars universe to well-known anime studios for a unique twist on the Star Wars franchise It will premiere on May 4th, 2023. A trailer debuted. I will post it in a separate post below. "Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi" has been renewed for a second season. "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" will return to theaters to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Showings will start April 28th and run for a limited time at select theaters. "Ahsoka" is set to debut August 2023 Those who have yet to see the animated series Star Wars: Rebels might want to watch it prior to the premiere. A trailer was released:
  11. "No squeezy. Bad baby" I think we have some cross promo with Pirates of the Caribbean.
  12. Get ready, folks! Believe it or not this is starting up on Wednesday!!!! I believe it is just a one episode drop.
  13. Yet another post I missed - sorry. I agree. It seemed like they were getting somewhere with this one a few weeks ago but we're back to the same old stuff. I don't understand how they went from Clone Wars and Rebels to this. Clone Wars admittedly has a lot of filler bur Rebels is comparatively lean and always moving forward. You would think that they figured it out.
  14. I'd really be interested in some of these - Thrawn especially. I've heard the books about him are very good and I'm hoping to get to them soon. I think we'll be seeing him a bit in the upcoming Ahsoka series. We've received enough backstory from others (like Saw) to keep me satisfied. One the wasn't mentioned in the article is Bo Katan. She's had a good amount of screen time for a secondary character but I want to know what happened on Mandalore during her rule. How did she fail? We hear that she failed because of the curse of obtaining the Dark Saber without fighting for it but what specifically happened to cause that failure. I want to know more about "The night of 1,000 tears". And how did Moff Gideon get a hold of the Dark Saber?
  15. Yeah, after they started working for Cid, it became a little repetitive and circular . . . go get this and I'll give you something, go do that and I'll tell you something. Still enjoyed it. That seems like a thing with these Diz Star Wars shows, the first season of Mando was the same, it didn't move forward enough soon enough for me. Then Andor came along and f'in showed everyone how to do it.
  16. I'll drink to that. This Vice Admiral Rampart/Kamino storyline has made things a little more interesting. It actually seems like the series is moving forward and not just following the Batch around on random missions.
  17. Nope, I'm still in and @Gary K is still in on this one I believe. I like this series a lot. This post-order 66 time of the Skywalker saga is my fav. I agree overall, a bit of a mixed bag this season. But a half hour spent in the Star Wars universe with an average show is better than a lot of things.
  18. So far this season is okay...a bit of a mix of meh and good. I caught up on the last two episodes last night and they are definitely two of the better ones. Am I the only one still watching?
  19. I'll probably finish up my Season 1 rewatch today. I'm glad I revisited because there was a bunch of stuff that I completely forgot about. The Hera/Twi'lek storyline is probably the best of the season. What is with these recent Star Wars series saving their best writing for the episodes that barely include the titular character? And when are we going to get a decent look at the Pykes? They almost have a Boba Fett-like mystery about them in that they seem to be universally feared/respected. When are we going to actually SEE why? That brutality we saw from the Empire in Andor, give me some of that with the Pykes. Anyway...I'm getting excited to finally move on to Season 2.
  20. I love the narrated intros….very “serial” stylized which is what Lucas always wanted. I just watched the first 2 of Bad batch S2 and enjoyed them quite a bit.
  21. I agree with this. Clone Wars is mostly dragged down by tons of filler episodes and lower quality animation on the front end but, man, there is some good stuff peppered in. Rebels gets my nod as #1 because of how consistent it is. I'd probably say Rebels>Clone Wars>Bad Batch but I'm currently rewatching the first season of The Bad Batch and I'm overdue for a Clone Wars rewatch. That being said, I think the Clone Wars narrated intros are the tops.
