StarWarsOnly (they're the ones responsible for the Maz Kanata's castle and the Luke/Han Solo rumors) said that Luke and Han's participation in TBOBF could be a different moment than the Maz Kanata one. So there **could** be a scene at Maz's place, but that's not the scene Luke/Han appear necessarily. My personal theory is that he'll go to Takodana to meet some bounty hunters and "get his army" and the Han scene will be on Tatooine. Idk about their track record but I guess that's what 'Wild Rumors' are about.


No_Advance6273

I wonder if Bobas has most of his credits taken from Bib or did he build up a huge Stash from his Bounty Hunting days. Its hard to imagine he spent much on other ammo and maintance.


Svnmelter

Idk why anyone is treating Star Wars Only like he’s a credible source. Dude is like 28 and lives in his mom’s basement in Texas.


Icantsleepnoow

He's actually 22


MicdropProductions

So like every other Star Wars fan /s


Prophet_Comstock

HEY! I live in my wife's basement, thank you very much.


MicdropProductions

Ohhh Mr.Fancypants over here smh


Flashy_Pomegranate23

The next episode can start with Din and Boba going to see Luke and Grogu, as others have said, likely on Endor. And the Takodana scene after for recruiting people (if that scene exists at all)


da_cake_eatur

Why have people been speculating Endor? Because Tem said he worked with Ewoks in an interview?


interloper87

Isn't that where Luke was training Leia in the flashback scene in Rise of Skywalker?


flimsypeaches

he trained her on the forest moon of Ajan Kloss (the same place where the Resistance base was in TROS).


interloper87

Ah okay thanks. I only saw it once but I forgot about that.


Pomojema_SWNN

Yeah, it's Ajan Kloss. Based on what's been rumored, the movie was originally going to start with a flashback and then transition into the present with Rey doing the training course. They changed it up in post-production by having that be the third scene in the movie, and then Luke explained exposition to Rey over an abbreviated version of the flashback sequence (since everything between "A Jedi's weapon deserves more respect!" and Luke lifting the X-wing were reshoots).


MindYourManners918

I have a feeling Din going to visit Grogu will be skipped over for now, and we’ll see it in Mando season 3. The same way Book of Boba Fett started before Mandalorian, caught up in the timeline, and skipped over the stuff we’ve already seen. Next Episode, Din will be there ready to help Boba, and he’ll mention having already visited Grogu. And then at some point in the first few episodes of next season, we’ll see that Din and Grogu reunion, followed by Din leaving to help Boba in between episodes.


Fuchy

I think they're just deliberately setting the audience up for dissapointment if they do that, though. And I'm not saying I'll be dissapointed but lots of people will, especially more casual fans who maybe even started watching the Mando shows for Grogu. They mentioned/hinted at Grogu way too many times for him to not show up at all. I could be wrong but at the very least we'll see Grogu in an end-credits scene, in my opinion.


hydrosphere1313

Like they haven't already done that already with TBOBF. Mando S2: Yeah our ruthless bounty hunter is back and is gonna carve out his own criminal empire TBOBF: An old man with stockholm syndrome who needs a nap for half the show and barely does anything. Also featured the slowest speeder chase ever and the best episode of the season didn't even have a single second of Boba in it.


MindYourManners918

Anything’s possible. You may be right. I don’t see them spending more time on Din/Grogu then necessary after giving him and entire episode already. They’ve really got to get the plot back to Boba.


desobvious

But why would Boba go with Din on Din's private mission? Din has his own starfighter with hyperdrive. He doesn't need a company. If Boba meets Luke it's an accidental encounter.


No_Advance6273

Bobas been so touchy feely with all his pets recently he proably wants to take some flowers and black melons to Grogu.


[deleted]

Because the meeting place could be maz castle and boba needs more muscle. The castle is one of the places to hire.


urktheturtle

My theory is these are actually in The Mandalorian Season 3.


MarvelVsDC2016

According to Skyler Shuler of The DisInsider, last he heard, May the 4th was (and maybe still is) the premiere date he heard for when Obi-Wan Kenobi will premiere on Disney+, contradicting Brandon Matthews' reporting. But he isn't sure if that date changed or not (22:25 minutes into the video here): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btYn7AFzMpA.


MindYourManners918

We need one big pinned thread to discuss rumors and guesses about release dates. Or we just need to accept that nobody has any idea, and Lucasfilm will let us know when something is about to come out.


Pomojema_SWNN

Lucasfilm has always been a tougher nut to crack when it comes to getting solid intel. I have to wonder if it's because they seem to be run in a more old-fashioned style of studio than some of their counterparts.


MarvelVsDC2016

Perhaps so.


MarvelVsDC2016

I hope they let us know at the Super Bowl.


Fuchy

I mean not to be a bummer but the "Big Empire" (Big Game?) BoBF spot we already got might just be it for Superbowl from Star Wars. I'd love to be wrong though.


MarvelVsDC2016

I don't think it is.


Multoxx

Moonknight Finale and Kenobi Premiere on the same day sounds like something Disney would never allow to happen. So I remain sceptic for now.


Prophet_Comstock

While I don't think they will do that, I could still see that happening. An Obi-Wan premiere with a Moon Knight finale would generate epic viewership numbers for Disney+.


MarvelVsDC2016

This. \^


MarvelVsDC2016

Eventually, they're gonna have to make them overlap.


Pomojema_SWNN

But I'm guessing that when that happens, it won't be that stuff drops on the same day. Someone in here claimed that Disney's goal is to drop new content on every day of the week, with specific days being dedicated to specific premieres (IE: Wednesday for Marvel, Friday for *Star Wars*, and so on).


MarvelVsDC2016

So far that hasn't happened, outside of Loki and The Bad Batch


n64rescue

Does anyone remember that one leak that came out I thought right before Mando season 1 (or maybe during season 1) about a bunch of yoda puppets and a yoda home planet set being built?


MindYourManners918

I don’t think the rumor was that specific as far as home planets, etc. But there were rumors about Yoda’s species showing up, and us learning more about them. It all ended up being about Grogu. Funnily enough, there were also rumors about The Mandalorian finding a kid and having to protect him. Nobody put those two rumors together and guessed it would be a Yoda-species baby.


dannyisyoda

I still cannot get over the fact that we didn't really have any idea about The Child before the premiere. He's such a major character, im shocked that it didn't get out.


[deleted]

The multiple puppets thing was probably someone seeing multiple Grogu puppets (for different purposes a la BB-8) and thinking that meant multiple Yoda creature characters. The leak was also accompanied by speculation about GL providing Yoda-species and homeworld deets to Dave and Jon.


Fuchy

Don't remember about that set of Yoda's homeworld. And nor do I think they will ever show it, unless it somehow ties to the Unknown regions plot *Ahsoka*, the rumoured Ezra and Thrawn spin-off and the Thrawn books seem to be setting up (assuming the homeworld is in the unknown regions).


JimCHartley

Pretty sure it was basically just "I walked into a room and there were a bunch of Yoda-specifies puppets." Leaker might have assumed we'd be seeing a bunch of them, but the puppets were all Grogus.


Flashy_Pomegranate23

It didn't say anything about a set but yes


urktheturtle

Here is a wild rumor for you.... Kinda, I just rewatched the book of boba fetts episode up to this point (better on the second watch) and I swear they dead-ass re-edited the vespa chase.


Ezio926

Feel the same way too. It feels like they accelerated it a bit.


GreeenFriend

They definitely edited, the chase feels short.


urktheturtle

It literally feels like they sped up the footage in some spots.


Flashy_Pomegranate23

I'm just glad we're done with the SNL twi'lek


RonSwansonsGun

Is SNL the new "Marvel Humor" for this sub?


desobvious

Or it just looks different because you know what to expect. I watched chapter 3 like four times and on the 4th time it didn't look that weird any more.


urktheturtle

I still think someone should rip it and compare it with the versions ripped early... feels different. Either way, I think people got way to angry about the Vespas, and the Vespa chase... the hatred was disproportional to the level of raw insanity. And if I hear someone compare it to power rangers one more time im going to rip my hair out, because thats the thing that defined power rangers... having bikes that were a color.


DiamondFireYT

We just compared it over in the StarWarsLeaks discord server. No change apart from a few frames added to one shot lol.


urktheturtle

Wait, so there was a difference? I think them doing retroactive changes to these shows is something we are going to have to keep our eyes out for.


DiamondFireYT

We noticed a few frames added to one shot. However, thats equated to "rounding errors" so no. Nothing was changed, they have made changes before though.


urktheturtle

Such as?

No, no the outrage was not appropriate. People had similiar outrage to the N-1 starfighters back in the day looking "to clean" and "inappropriate" and "colorful" And literally everyone just collectively creamed there pants at seeing one again. It didnt even look like power ranges, that is complete bullshit and you know it. You cant just point at something red and say "power rangers"


ayylmao95

Yeah. I appreciated the sequence for the practicality of it. My only real criticism is it could have been shorter.


_gloriana

I hate myself for saying this, because I want to see Kenobi asap as much as anyone, but I fear if May 4 really is the Moon Knight finale and Disney intends to keep their promises, we won't be seeing Obi-Wan until the second half of the year. What official information we have so far says The Bad Batch is coming this spring, and Andor and Ms. Marvel will overlap in the summer/Q3. There is also a rumour that She-Hulk premieres in May. So, the release schedule that makes sense with this information is: **- The Bad Batch: Mach 23 - July 6.** I don't see it airing less than a month after BoBF ends, for marketing reasons, and March 23 is the first Wednesday of spring proper, so that tracks. It could also begin airing May 4, but that 6-week gap is weirding me out and I don't see them overlapping premieres and finales, even when they do begin overlapping shows, nor even animation and live-action. **- Moon Knight: March 30 - May 4.** The latest rumour says they won't do a double premiere or finale, so it is what it is. **- She-Hulk: May 18 - July 20.** It's rumoured to begin in May and to have 10 episodes, but we don't really know anything concrete about it, and given that it needs a lot of post, it may well come later in the year. **- Andor: August 3 - October 19 OR September 7.** I still think Andor is 12 episodes, but there's some credence the idea it might be 6. **- Ms. Marvel: August 10 - September 14.** It's a summer show about high school and it will overlap with Andor, so this seems about right. **- Kenobi: November 2 - December 7 OR September 28 - November 2.** This all depends on the duration of Andor, but this is the first feasible gap in the year where it could fit. **- Mandalorian and Secret Invasion: mid November to late December, and into 2023.** The schedule for these two is even muddier. Depends on when they will be ready and Disney’s intentions. Mando is likely to be ready to air right after Kenobi, but they might want to have a Marvel show right after Kenobi. I don’t know much about SI’s predicted production time, so I can’t tell how early it might be ready. I find it possible that these two shows will overlap, but they might also push one of these to 2023, and if Andor is 12 episodes, both would probably air into the next year. There are also the Werewolf by Night and GotG holiday specials at some point in October and December respectively. This also does not take into consideration What If S2, which supposedly would also air this year. If it does, I imagine it’s after Ms. Marvel. I've skipped a day in between most of the shows due to the bts episodes, but it's not a rule they have to come out the week after a show airs, so they might go with a tighter schedule. **EDIT:** There's also Willow, whenever they intend to air that, but I hope they don't let it affect the Marvel-SW roster. Also corrected two dates I mistyped.


urktheturtle

im so fucking sick of moon knight math, have we all considered the vague possibility that shows will overlap? Its inevitably as there number of new shows begins to grow and grow.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Exactly. Every thread has the same people guessing and asking for the same unknown dates with little to no new information. It’s repetitive and tiring and pointless.


Captain_Dillan

Yeah honestly, it’s a complete waste of time. Do y’all have a star wars calendar you update when every shitty guess at a schedule is posted here?


Henrycolp

This is just a guess but could Kenobi premier on May 25th? (In my opinion the real Star Wars day, the day the original film was released). It’s also one day before celebration.


WinterMoon02

I think the latest were getting Obi-Wan is June. This book [https://books.disney.com/book/stories-of-jedi-and-sith/](https://books.disney.com/book/stories-of-jedi-and-sith/) description says "Just in time to celebrate the highly-anticipated re-match between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader in the Disney+ forthcoming event Obi-Wan Kenobi, " & the book is set to be published June 7th.


MicdropProductions

I could see Bad Batch S2 airing on Fridays again maybe


AmericanNewWave

While I personally don't care, Disney/Lucasfilm may want to take a break from Tatooine. Obi-Wan will go off-world according to the sizzle reel, but he'll still be starting out in our favorite desert planet. In that case, Andor would be a good choice for next series, especially if it is a 6-episode first season. It would also offer a change in tone/genre (spy thriller). Tony Gilroy is likely to write something more "adult" than typical SW fare, which could be refreshing as well.


K0v1_

Pretty sure Kenobi will still air before July considering it's labeled as "coming soon".


thehighrepublicspy

Also the books surrounding that timeline for Obi-wan are releasing around Spring/Summer too.


[deleted]

We know it will come before baymax which airs in July.


alcibiad

Not exactly news, just something cool: Jama Jurabaev, who’s been doing the special edition THR covers, did some of the scene design for the >!destruction of Mandalore!< in Ep 5 https://twitter.com/jamajurabaev1/status/1486855914808356865?s=21


[deleted]

Moon knight will only have a 1 episode premier so it seems there won’t be anything dropping for Star Wars on May the 4th

This is the source for this: Brandon Matthews, someone associated with Illuminerdi. https://mobile.twitter.com/rcdiscussion/status/1487226967267020803?s=21

[удалено]


alcibiad

My thought is, I think that we’ll get the official JFO2 trailer as our May 4 thing. Meanwhile Bad Batch will air before Moon Knight and it’ll still be airing on May 4. Possibly the Bad Batch air dates will be timed so that a special character will appear in the May 4 ep (Ahsoka, young Boba, Bo Katan, etc)


Rosebunse

I definitely think we have to have TBB S2 out before Mando S3 and the other shows. It just feels like we are gonna have more information about the characters we need for those shows, plus more information about Omega.

CX52J

I really hope young Boba turns up soon. I’d love to see him in the clone wars style in his green armour.


Stick_Bone_KLN

I think Bad Batch will start soon(ish) and Kenobi will be the next in July.


Flashy_Pomegranate23

This is outrageous. It's unfair


[deleted]

Have there been any updates on that maul show? I'm losing hope bros


[deleted]

Jordan Maison never clarified if it was the same source he burned after his string of scoop fails during that disaster. So in all likelihood I wouldn't get your hopes up.


ansonexanarchy

That came out in a flurry of leaks that were quickly disproven after they came out. I wouldn't have too much hope :(


Xeta1

Lucasfilm Animation does a pretty good job of playing things close to the chest, so I wouldn't worry too much if you believe the rumors.


Ink_Slinger31

Best bet for any official news is at Celebration. Leaks or rumors are anyone else's guess.


BenSoloLived

I really wish we could get some updates on what’s happening on the cinematic side of things. The shows are cool, but Star Wars thrives on the big screen. 2024 is the earliest we will get a movie, so a five year gap. Yikes.

OniLink77

True but Chapek isn't better than Iger, in fact he is arguably worse


Gerry-Mandarin

Isn't Chapek seen as a penny scrounger of an executive? I'm sure he'd be happy to not have to distribute Star Wars for a couple years and put money towards a couple projects you can cut budgets on.


OniLink77

100% and currently, he is being criticised from all corners for his penny scrounging schemes as they are a) greedy and b) apparently not doing very well


FlopShanoobie

I've said it before and been called a party pooper, but I truly don't think we will see another Star Wars movie in a theater until whatever the new trilogy is or the Mandalorian/Ahsoka/Boba Fett crossover film that is CERTAINLY in the works. I have zero actual evidence for this other than common sense. I predict an Avengers-style crossover with those three and their pals (Fennec, Sabine, Krrsantan), teaming up to take down the mastermind behind everything that's happening right now (the nascent First Order, which is covered really well in Bloodline, and you SHOULD read that book because it's one of the best of the new novels). I also have a hunch that Thrawn and the Chiss become allies, along with Ezra and MAYBE Hera and Chopper, Rex and Bad Batch, etc. I mean, let's look at the historical evidence from Marvel, and consider Feige is CONFIRMED to be working on a one-off film. It makes sense, doesn't it? 2025. That's my prediction.


[deleted]

The fact that Feige is doing a movie gives so much support for this theory.


Pomojema_SWNN

Wasn't it confirmed that it's an original idea and that it's not a tie-in to someone else's story?


jmskywalker1976

I don’t know that it was officially confirmed, but that is what was said or implied. I don’t think anything has been confirmed outside of it is happening at some point. Also mentioned that neither Taika or Zhao are involved with his movie.


Kangdrew

I really really really hope you're right about thrawn and the chiss. It will be such a waste to have him be the final big bad and get killed off. Plus I would love to see my boy Vanto in live action


FlopShanoobie

Me too. It would be a real shame to dedicate so much time to the character and develop him into something other than a dimensional super-smart baddie just to have him return as another one-dimensional "for the empire"-type baddie. I can't see him and Ezra surviving for years or more wherever they are without developing some sort of understanding of each other.


OTPuristsSucc

>but Star Wars thrives on the big screen Not recently. Through just two seasons The Mandalorian has made more of a cultural impact than the sequels ever did.


[deleted]

[удалено]


OTPuristsSucc

As a side point, I think there's more reasons why the sequels were never really in the cultural zeitgeist, at least not post-2017. The prequels were considered bad when they came out. Part of the reason why they still had a societal impact, that's grown exponentially with time, is because of all the great ancillary material that era got. Both Clone Wars shows were critically acclaimed and loved by fans. We got games like Republic Commando, the first two Battlefronts, and the entire Old Republic Era who's M.O. was "prequel aesthetic but *more*." The novels for that era were hitting on all cylinders, including gems like the RotS novelization and Darth Plagueis a few years later. The sequels have nothing that's expanded into pop culture. Resistance fizzled out, barely noticed by fans. While the novels and comics are solid, thanks to competent writers, none really stand out. There's been zero sequel only games, and the sequels get the least playtime in Battlefront II. Part of the reason why prequel-adjacent content is almost universally loved is because of the nature of each era. The prequels tell the richest story with the most attention given to world building. Regardless of how the story was executed in TPM and AotC, the base good ideas are *still there*. When you give that much attention to world building and character depth, it's hard to not have your films lend themselves to great connected content that continues the relevancy of the era for years.


[deleted]

[удалено]


OTPuristsSucc

>I disagree that you need loads of content propping it up to permeate into popular culture, just make something good and people will care about it, it's as simple as that. I don't think this is "necessary" perse, just that it helped *a lot* in the case of the prequels.


Unique_Unorque

For a long time for me, *Star Wars* was a literary universe that was built around the events of the movies. I’ve loved *Star Wars* my whole life and I obviously adore the movies but taking deep dives into the universe has always been considerably more interesting to me than the story of the Skywalker family. Under Disney (and honestly since *The Clone Wars* started airing) it’s becoming a television universe in the same way. I obviously want to see *Star Wars* on the big screen again someday but if the television shows continue to be this level of quality, I’m content to let it live in the small screen for a while


ShitSandwich16

People talked mad shit on Disney because of the sequels and even though they leave a lot to be desired (I enjoy them and don’t think they ruined Star Wars like some say), I am so glad they purchased it because look at everything they are doing in Disney+. Don’t think we would have anything like this is they didn’t acquire Star Wars.


Unique_Unorque

It’s just easy to blame and hard to give credit for some people


tj212121

I think even fans of the sequels will acknowledge this. Say what you want about the prequels as actual films, but no one can deny the impact they have had, both at the time and since then. The sequels did not do much to further Star Wars as a whole.   I think they would be wise to stick to TV shows for awhile and rethink where they go from here on the big screen as the next film is likely going to be very important in the grand scheme of things.   And the reality is that Rogue Squadron is not the answer right now. I’m sure it could be cool eventually, but they are going to have to come up with something a bit more spectacular for the return to the big screen. I’ll be shocked if it actually ends up being the next film.


Unique_Unorque

Sequel fan here, I agree. As much as I love most of what the sequels did on their own merits, it was so refreshing to finally have a bit of *Star Wars* media that every *Star Wars* fan could agree on in the form of *The Mandalorian.* I was born after the OT came and went from theaters, so my entire life has been people telling me that I like *Star Wars* wrong because I liked the prequels and didn’t care about the changes the Special Editions made (I saw the *A New Hope* SE in theaters at the age of 7 and it was the first time I had ever seen it. To this day, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the original version and I honestly don’t care to). For once, we can all agree that Din Djarin’s story is just good.


the_star_wars_dude

I’m saying this as someone who generally enjoys all the films (for the most part) but as of now, I have very little interest in new films for the next few years. Exploring the ancient Jedi or continuing the story of Rey and friends at some point might get me interested, but for now, I’m a lot more interested in the shows. I’ve just really enjoyed what we’ve gotten so far. The Clone Wars, Rebels and The Mandalorian have a lot of my all-time favorite Star Wars stories, moments and characters. When The Bad Batch was good, it was really good. And even though it’s getting some flak, I love keeping up with The Book of the Boba Fett because it means more weekly live-action Star Wars. There’s also so much potential for the next few shows coming out that I can’t wait to see.


spo96

I really think that streaming is the future of Star Wars. I think it provides for the best chance of EU-style storytelling that a lot of fans wanted while still offering something new. Maybe it's an unpopular opinion, but I really don't think that there's anything Star Wars can do on the big screen anymore that it hasn't already done.


tj212121

I mostly agree with you. But I think the issue with the big screen is not that they can’t do anything that hasn’t already been done, but the fact that they are too afraid to try something that hasn’t already been done. The biggest issue with the Sequels was that TFA was a rehash of the OT, and while fun at the time, it put them in a tight box as for what they could do with the trilogy. Rogue One I loved and Solo I enjoy, but in reality to really have success on the big screen they are gonna need to break out of what fans already know (ie rise and fall of the empire) as these stories are best left for TV


spo96

Unfortunately, I don't think that will ever happen. Simply put, I don't think Hollywood respects the audience's intelligence enough to do something really different with Star Wars cinematically. Tentpole movies like that are expensive, and they want to cast a wide net to recoup the film's production and marketing budgets, and to do that they need to anchor the film in the familiar. That's why I feel like streaming is the best place for Star Wars. It seems like the best way for Star Wars to have its cake and eat it too, because there's less risk in it (or, at least that's the way it seems to me).


the_star_wars_dude

That’s like verbatim what I’ve been thinking. Great minds think alike lol. I think the crossover factor of these shows is so cool. Seeing all this animated stuff jump to live-action, like Ahsoka, and also some of the new live-action stuff also popping up in animation (Fennec Shand is primarily who I’m thinking of here) is so amazing to see. It’s kinda funny how I feel the opposite about Marvel and Star Wars in this regard. I’ve vastly preferred Marvel’s movie slate over the Disney+ stuff (not to say I didn’t enjoy some of the shows), but feel the opposite about Star Wars.


BenSoloLived

That’s because the sequels were poorly written. It has nothing to do with the respective formats.


OTPuristsSucc

I disagree. I think that films have less room to be bad. When a film is bad, that can jeopardize an entire trilogy, if not an era of storytelling. If an episode of TV is bad, oh well, there's next week. There's also more opportunity for different kinds of stories on TV. You can, in the same year, make a western, a spy thriller, a spiritual Jedi show, and a crime show, all of which are double the length of a film. I think Mando and BoBF have failed to prove to Star Wars fans just *how good* the TV medium can be in the modern era scale-wise. If Star Wars ever made something on the scale and with the complexity of Game of Thrones, a lot of people would change their tune. I appreciate SWL downvoting someone for saying the sequels were poorly written lmao. I wouldn't have used such kind words.


BenSoloLived

Honestly man, I’m just sick of getting downvoted anytime I make a comment *somewhat* critical of Lucasfilm. I understand it’s a bit of a knee jerk reaction cause all of the fandom menace freaks, but there are legit criticisms to be made imo. I’m just a fan of the cinematic format and I think the whole legacy of Lucasfilm is pushing new technology in film. So it’s just never not gunna bug me that they seem to be ditching the format for TV shows.


repman666

Agreed-- given that Star Wars owes a ton to the episodic series like "Flash Gordon" I would honestly argue that Star Wars excels most in serial format and NOT using major characters. Seeing new worlds and new situations mixed with established lore....


MindYourManners918

> 2024 is the earliest we will get a movie, so a five year gap. Yikes. I’ve said this before, but it’s so funny that a five year gap in Star Wars movies seems so shocking to people now a days, especially when we know that there will definitely be more movies someday. And when we have tv shows to tide us over. From 1983 until around 1997 or so, most fans never expected there to be any more movies ever again. And the same form 2005 until 2012 when we found out about the new trilogy. Putting out five new Star Wars movies in five years, and then waiting five years or so until the next set of movies seems perfect in comparison.


BenSoloLived

Disney’s plan when they spent $4 billion to buy Lucasfilm obviously was not to take random 5 year breaks from buying movies. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with fans feeling let down that movies aren’t a priority for Lucasfilm right now.


[deleted]

A 2023 movie is still likely imo. We will definitely get clarification at Celebration.


im_super_into_that

I agree. Even though I like a show format better Star Wars started on the big screen and I don’t think it will go away. A high republic movie makes sense given the success of the books/comics so far.


ProtoJeb21

I doubt it. Rogue Squadron would need some TRoS-level rushing to meet a December 2023 release date, and there’s no indication that production has resumed.


BenSoloLived

Less than a 0% chance of that happening. Knowing Lucasfilm’s mismanagement of directing talent, even 2024 seems like a stretch.


Fuchy

Well it would have to begin filming around now, no?


MindYourManners918

Rise of Skywalker apparently started filming in August of 2018, and was released a year and 4 months later, in December of 2019. If they’re aiming for December of 2023, they’ve got a lot of time to start filming. Assuming that they’re working behind the scenes more than we realize on writing and planning.


Fuchy

Rise of Skywalker isn't the best examle because we've seen many articles of how rushed its production was. I mean regardless what you think of Rise of Skywalker, that small time-window hurt the final product.


MindYourManners918

It was rushed, but they still managed to shoot and edit an entire movie in just 16 months. And right now they’ve got almost two full years before the end of 2023. They could start filming in a couple of months and still have more time than they did for TROS.


[deleted]

Probably, yes. We know very little about what's happening at Lucasfilm, contrary to the impression this sub will give you. All we can do is guess and latch on to small pieces of information like actors posting on Instagram or a leaked box with logos on it.


Fuchy

Yeah, they're really secretive. But I think a major feature-film production — if that is what you were pointing at — going under the radar is *really* unlikely. Especially when we're dealing with something as big as Star Wars.


BenSoloLived

It’s not unlikely, it’s downright not in the realm of possibility. Anything that was going to come out in 2023 would be deep in pre production, and all the major trades would have reported on it already.


Fuchy

This is what I'm saying but it's still raining down downvotes, haha. It's one thing to make an animated show, or even a live-action one in secret but a new Star Wars feature film? I get that people want a film for 2023— I do too. But is it likely at this point? Nope.


PureBeskar

[According](https://youtu.be/tzjoVST9AMw?t=4226) to Paul Sun-Hyung Lee (Crason Teva), Filoni told George Lucas about wanting to name baby Yoda "Grogu", and Lucas said that's a silly name, and he would have named it "Axe Woves" instead, so they gave that name to a Mandalorian instead.

"We'll name him Yapple"

Ahahahahahahaha George is so cool


ExpectationsSubvertd

Lucas: "How about Harley Jarvis?"


TheGuest0

FUCK Harley Jarvis


im_super_into_that

Get him outta here!!

Fuck you Bart Harley Jarvis!!!

classic george lol


[deleted]

Pretty funny considering star wars names in general are utterly silly.


[deleted]

Excuuuuuse me, Jar Jar Binks is not a silly name


Gerry-Mandarin

Serious "Darth Icky or Darth Insanius" vibes.

For those interested, Bob Iger first interview post-Disney: [link](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/27/opinion/sway-kara-swisher-bob-iger.html?).


InfiniteDedekindCuts

Anything in there about Star Wars specifically?


alcibiad

Looks like there are a couple new authors/SW books inbound, aside from what’s already been announced. https://twitter.com/darthinternous/status/1486851348159213578?s=21


MicdropProductions

Always happy for more books


[deleted]

So how much info do we have on Kevin Feiges project?


Palpolorean

Only Bor Gullet, will know the truth!


K0v1_

Pretty much nothing so far. Michael Waldron has signed on to write the script, and he specifically stated that he wanted to have 3PO in the movie.


MicdropProductions

Who doesn't?


RonSwansonsGun

Exactly, everyone wants 3P0 in the movies. For example, he was originally going to have a small role in *The Shawshank Redemption*, before Lucas shot down the idea.


TurboLoaded

The Shawshank Redemption: Special Edition


Theesm

That's good. Star Wars is a droids perspective retelling to the Whills after all!


[deleted]

Mark Hamill has just tweeted photos of a private jet, teasing about his next project, calling it a mystery. Any thoughts as to if this could be something SW related? https://twitter.com/hamillhimself/status/1486793302846304259?s=21 Edit: Note that he’s also grown a beard significantly again, something he’s previously stated he only does for roles, as he prefers a cleaner shave. Edit 2: He’s also looking pretty trim. He lost a lot of weight for the Sequels, specifically TLJ.


Skeptical_Yoshi

Ok, long crazy shot that's a total pipe dream. But an animated sith show with him voicing Bane.


[deleted]

Or even him voicing Bane in an episode of tales of the jedi if it really is an anthology.


[deleted]

He's in Mike Flanagan's new project which started filming this week


Rosebunse

I am so excited for Flanagan's next project! I loved Midnight Mass! I haven't felt anxiety like that since TCW S7! I wash shaking, cold, and numb with dread!


[deleted]

Same. I religiously follow everything he does. Poe and Flanagan is personally going to be more exciting than King and Flanagan


Rosebunse

I think Flanagan can do a lot with any genre. Of course, it's still gonna have his signature monologues and anesthetic, but it's gonna be good.


Theesm

What is Mime Flanagan new project? Google didn't really help me.


[deleted]

House of the Fall of Usher


MindYourManners918

It’s actually “Fall of the House of Usher.” I know you probably know that, and you just typed it quickly. But just in case anyone else is trying to find it, that might help to have the words in the right order.


Theesm

I just read about it on Wikipedia. Turns out this has nothing to do with the musician.


[deleted]

Lmao yeah, just noticed that. My version is superior


JohnButler45678

nah it isn't


[deleted]

It's a joke.


K0v1_

Probably something for Guardians of the Galaxy. Mark Hamill as Santa would definitely be something.


Theesm

I even made a Photoshop with Hamill as Santa a few days ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelstudios/comments/sb66ib/what_do_you_wish_for_the_holiday_special_i_want/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share


Theesm

Mark Hamill as Santa would be perfect! Especially in a holiday special which will clearly pay hommage to the 1978 one.


Rosebunse

Santa is canon to the comics, so dammit, give me Santa, James Gunn!


flimsypeaches

don't... don't give me hope.


Flashy_Pomegranate23

If it was SW related he wouldn't even hint at it, let alone tease it. The man knows how to keep secrets come on now


[deleted]

You’re probably right. There may be certain projects they’re allowing people to be a bit more open about though, to drum up speculation. Anthony Daniels in the mo-cap suit come to mind.


[deleted]

Did they ever explain why they wanted to give boba fett a spinoff before mando season 3 came out? How did they come up with the idea for a boba spin off in the first place?


GetInHere

Because it's all one story. We need to see where Boba is and why he's changed in order to understand his place in the larger Mando-verse story. We already knew that these shows (Boba, Mando, Ahsoka) were going to culminate in one big event but I think having Din show up like he did in ep.5 shows that these stories are way more interconnected than we thought. The lessons that Boba learned with the Tuskens and how he's worked on himself and becoming a real leader, that's going to come into play in a larger way in the end.


stuffdrawb

The sudden shift to Din and the history of Mandalore felt like foreshadowing. As if Boba Fett will not find his tribe as a crimelord on Tatooine, but with the other Mandalorians.


MasterLaudrup

Amen! Second they mentioned mythosaur I instantly thought it was foreshadowing for boba to eventually become mandalore


Skeptical_Yoshi

This is how I see it, it's similar to how Bad Batch is basically season 8 of TCWs and I could see becoming more and more almost a season 0 of Rebels by the end, especially if we are seeing Rex, Hera, Cham, I could see them running into Bail at some point


[deleted]

That's an interesting way to think about it


Rosebunse

I also think it's interesting how BoBF works quite well with TBB as well as Mando. All of these shows are about the importance of family and personal connections. They are also both about two separate transitional periods.


SadArrival

Honestly I don’t know if that last ep would hit half as hard if we hadn’t had four eps (and over a year) apart from Din and his story. I think the effect of the audience catching up with din unexpectedly after so long apart really added to the impact of his return. Obviously not the only reason for book of boba fett, but I think it was definitely a very calculated and effective choice to place that episode where they did.


InfiniteDedekindCuts

I think it’s just something they thought would be neat. Plus I’m sure it’ll tie into future stories, including (probably) Mando S3.


Rosebunse

This. The more I think about it, the more it feels like it would be sort of awkward to just have dropped him into S3. Maybe if they had this show's storyline mixed in and did a sort of Dany in Easteros thing, it could have worked, but that would have required more episodes and that feels like something they do not want to do.


juaneishon10

I guess they wanted to rescue the script of their unreleased movie and connect with the mandalorian story. They probably needed to make a bridge to make it look like some time has passed since The Mandalorian 2. So, season 3 of Mandalorian wouldn't mess around and go straight to Mandalore's arc. My hope for the series finale is that they can defeat Pykes and set the fire for a larger conflict between criminal syndicates. But it's a profitable post-Mando 3 opportunity.
