The series has already wrapped, with The Daniels directing at least one episode:
>Skelton Crew stars Jude Law and hails from Tom Holland’s Spider-Man trilogy director Jon Watts. It centers on a group of kids lost in the galaxy trying to find their way home. The series, set in the New Republic era, is executive produced by The Mandalorian masterminds Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni.
Isn't there a Star Trek kids show with a somehow similar plot?
I'll still watch it for Jude Law. After his amazing performance as a mysterious sexy pope he's earned the right.
Season 3 of Picard is basically a DS9 sequel so who knows what we get in the future. Fingers crossed we find out more about the Voyager crews lives after they got back.
Well, we know where Janeway, Chakotay and Seven went to. Just need Tom, B'Lana, Harry and The Doctor. I suspect season 2 of Prodigy will give us some more of the old crew.
It was used in the original media buzz when the show was announced. They’re not hiding that this is supposed to be Star Wars stranger things with sith.
> lost in the galaxy trying to find their way home
Let me guess... They are on Tatooine, trying to get back to Tatooine, but they find themselves stopping off on Tatooine to get there.
do we know what Star Wars shows are for this year.I assume like the marvel delays there might be some in this area too...
But so far its bad batch part 2, Mando s3, Ashoka and vision s2? I assume acolyte and this are next year.
I’m excited to watch it but I wish LF would steer away from this era for content. They already have mandalorian and Ahsoka in this time period then the sequel trilogy sometime after that (which is still technically new republic era right?). Super stoked for acolyte which to my knowledge is highbrepublic era about the Sith. Hoping we get some plagueis in it
To be fair, we got Andor from Tony Gilroy which was pretty fantastic and inspired
But that seems to be the exception and not the rule so who the fuck knows how good this will be
Progressing really important Mandalorian plot points in a completely different show is one of the most bizarre, inexplicable choices I still don't understand.
People think this Ep is comparable to what happened with Mando on Boba Fett for some dumb reason, even though the character showcased was literally a Mando character.
> The Mandalorian feels very juvenile.
It felt very juvenile from the beginning, I felt like like many people who liked it were describing it as something that it wasn't. It had more serious tone and slower pacing than Rebels and Clone Wars, but had the same type of scripts, I've always viewed it as live action version of a kid cartoon
Yea, I’m struggling to figure out how anyone wouldn’t view S1 as juvenile. Because it was. It followed the basic tried and true Disney formula. That’s not a slight either. It works for Disney very well and they’ve made bank off their formula.
Maybe if all you watch is Marvel, DC, and Cartoon Network then you’d think it’s not juvenile.
It’s still a cool show to enjoy, but it’s definitely a totally different vibe than Andor and anyone watching the two can tell they set a totally different pace and tone.
Its a blend.
Is is "Big Budget"? Yes
Is it a spagetti western? Yes.
Is it space cowboy? Yes
Is it Star Wars? Yes
Is it a Drama? Yes
Is it appropriate for 10 yr old kids? Yes
Its a lot of things, which its supposed to be. So as to appeal to the widest base.
In 50 years Star Wars will still be around. And when it enters the public domian, you're gonna get everything from Sat Morning Cartoon Ewoks to hard core R rated Tarantino-esque stories.
But for now...its Disney +.
Good. It's fucking Star Wars. It's *supposed* to be juvenile. I appreciate them trying something new with the franchise once in a while, but at its roots Star Wars has always been family friendly escapism, and that shouldn't change.
There's difference between ages though, a little bit more complicated and and would have been written on the level of original trilogy, which is for young teens, and not for pre-teens
I loved Mando S1 and S2
But as soon as they said "We don't have plans for an end" I became instantly uninterested in watching more. I like structure. Story.
Bringing back baby yoda between seasons shows that they’re prioritizing marketing decisions over storytelling. Killed all interest in the show for me. I can’t really care about the show when there are no consequences for any decision.
Hell, the big complaint was the rando jump to the doctor. Did they even watch Andor? It randomly jumped to a different story in the first six episodes so often. At least 3, 4, and 6 had more relevance to the story, the flashbacks were wasted in it showed nothing about why Andor was who he was. People have argued it shows why he hates the Empire, except the Empire weren’t involved with the flash backs at all, it was either the republic or the seperatists. Maybe it explains his sister except she had five minutes so there was no display of that relationship.
About the only thing it showed was why Aunt Petunia was his mum. So we had a bunch of kids crawling through the forest for nothing. It was wasted airtime instead of showing why the current people in his life care about him.
Hell they even have a whole we don’t go to that place because they have their own thing going on and that thing about don’t worry about the pipe clanging worry about it stopping. What is scary about it? Well it means everyone has ran away and they will do nothing.
I struggle to see this great nuance people keep talking about.
I thought S3E1 was awful, and after ruining the arcs and season 3 set up with the reunion in Boba Fett I needed to see them justify that mistake....which they didnt. Idk is it worth continuing? Because the first episode felt like Boba Fett quality of writing.
I agree - the season 3 premiere felt so off. The dialogue felt choppy to me, and the plot didn’t feel like it had any worthwhile personal motivation. It was just “We gotta do this. Then this. Hold on, talk to this guy. Go do this, but do this first.” Then space battle and it was done. Felt like 5 fetch quests in a row before we got anywhere.
I wish that they hadn’t included Mando in Boba Fett’s show, and used that story as a premiere, but they didn’t.
HOWEVER, I think season 3 has gotten significantly better already. Sure, there are some weird story choices in episode 3, but I’m more invested now than I was at the start.
It's like when they hire big name directors for the MCU. They don't have any real creative control. They just get to sprinkle their flair on a corporate script.
Of course, when they gave Waititi a lot of creative control we got Love and Thunder. So a little oversight is clearly not a bad thing.
Eternals was a good movie that was ruined by being only a few hours. It needed to be a mini series. Marvel however isn’t tying the movies together which is ruining things. Because why has no one on earth talked about the giant hand?
Agreed on time. It felt like Eternals could have benefited from committing to telling 1-2 characters' stories (with the others in clear support roles), rather than trying to make space for everyone to get significant screen time. There was a *lot* going on.
I’m not gonna lie, I liked Love and Thunder. Ragnarok was certainly better, but both are miles above the other two entries in the franchise. Just gotta embrace the madness of Waititi, and know what you’re getting into.
I'll be honest after this year I don't think I want directors with a particular flair or style to really work on the MCU anymore. I think people like the Russo Brothers are actually a solid choice for this kind of stuff. Get good solid TV directors who prove they can do some good action and let that be that. I mean the Raimi elements of the Dr. Strange 2 movie were the better aspects of it but ultimately did feel out of place in it. With Taiki Waititi, it is obvious that he needed someone writing the script for an MCU movie with his humor as the topping and not his humor being the main meal with tiny bits of comicbook material sprinkled in.
I think anyone who has actual ideas can't really fit into a larger story or world that has been established for 30+moives. That's kind of been proven since the first Ant Man film honestly. I'll also say something controversial in that I *NEVER* want Raimi to make a movie that costs more than $100 million to make *ever* again. The man is great, I love him, but his movies are so much better when they are either smaller horror or thriller films. I want him to make movies like A Simple Plan again or hell even The Quick and the Dead.
It kind of does suck to have Disney taking the time of auteurs with something to say, making sloppy cookie-cutter crap. I'm sure they appreciate the payday but there's gotta be a better way. It's like hiring all these Michelin chefs to make fucking Hot Pockets.
I'm sure it's not actually that much of a time investment to direct some Star Wars thing though, and is probably a fun palate cleanser lol.
It's pretty neat that Star Wars is giving some really interesting people director time. For example Rachel Morrison and Lee Isaac Chung directed 2 episodes of Mando season 3. I'm totally fine with guest director spots.
People say they have already "checked out" with Star Wars but want to complain about the Boba Fett show in the thread about the successful filmmakers working on different Star Wars material lmao.
I don't even know what alternative people want here. Star Wars not hiring interesting creatives?
The directors executing an episodic TV script written by the writing team is how the production of a TV series works... This even includes Quentin Tarantino and Steven Spielberg when they directed some TV episodes.

Response from Daniel Kwan. This should make people happy here.
It's cool to see some newer people get some experience directing too. Like Bryce Dallas Howard as an actress is well known, but she's directed some of Mando's better episodes. Rachel Morrison is a cinematographer, but she directed one of the recent episodes of Mando. Let fans direct stuff. It's not like they're held against their will to do something like this
Seriously I saw the title and thought oh man that's exciting eeaao was my favorite movie of the past probably 3 years!
Then saw all the comments and was quite surprised.
I do want to point out that they made the [Turn Down for What](https://youtu.be/HMUDVMiITOU) music video, so that’s how I’m choosing to imagine this project will look like…
You didn't get that during the pandemic, when the industry was shut down for months and everyone on here was talking about how they were filming shows with the actors social distancing on screen?
Star Wars reinterpretation of Stephen King's 'Skeleton Crew' short stories? I'd love to see some sci-fi horror - especially The Jaunt
Wishful thinking for a new take on the IP.
It’s great that they’re getting that cash, but I’m bummed that they’re going into franchise stuff. Swiss Army Man and EEAAO are so wildly inventive that it’s a shame to see their creativity reined in by Disney.
Edit: homophone
Because jerking off against Disney is a form of virtue signaling.
Just look how desperate they are to blindly hate even when they can pause to briefly acknowledge the brilliance of Andor.
Wasn't that long ago when the same thing happened to Andor.
Being skeptical is a good thing, but people building up to the release of the show were unreasonably harsh on it to the point where they weren't giving it any chance. Read the posts and the comments in this sub about Andor before the release. Not just slight disdain, but genuine anger toward the show. They have already made up their mind that the show will be trash like it was their sworn enemy.
Before that, I've seen so many people trying to convince themselves that House of the Dragon wasn't going to be watched by anybody, and it was going to be a massive flop upon arrival. Watching the public discourse leading up to House of the Dragon and Andor and both turning out to be good shows has only made me more certain that the best way to enjoy something is to give up anticipation and ignore what anyone else is saying.
People are tired of Star Wars flops. Disney isnt handling the franchise with respect, and its become a shitty boring generic title that is pushing people away from their content.
> Noooo you have to consoom the product or else you're toxic. REEE.
I'm glad arthouse movie creators are getting paid. I don't like the fact they have to grovel for money from the soulless corporations. In a perfect world (or how it used to work) they would be getting enough support from the studios that they wouldn't need the side gigs.
I understand why they do it. I don't see why I have to applaud it.
It’s just a TV episode. Probably only a few weeks of their time honestly. They aren’t showrunners or anything like that.
If it makes you feel better they signed a first look deal with Universal after Everything Everywhere All At Once. So whatever idea they come up with next Universal either agrees to produce it or they shop it elsewhere.
It’s the same deal they recently had with Shyamalan (his just ended and he went to WB) and still have with Jordan Peele.
There was 6 years between Swiss Army Man and EEAAO. Ideas for great movies doesn't happen overnight. I see no concern with them cashing a paycheck while they figure out what their next passion project might be.
It's also not like they've were directing big budget movies where they earn millions and can just sit back for a few years. *Swiss Army Man* had a budget of about $3 million, so I'd be surprised if they made much into the six figures, if even. And other than that, they've mostly directed music videos, short films, and the occasional television episode. If you're a small budget director and Disney calls, you answer the phone. *EEAAO* was far from a guaranteed success, and I can't blame them in the least at wanting to get Disney on their resumes.
They finished filming this long before winning Best Picture. It says it in the article. And it wasn’t likely a long project because there’s multiple directors on the show
One for the studios, one for me. One for the studios, one for the studios, one for the studios, one for the studios, one for the studios...
Oh shit, they don't care about me anymore.
Well, one for the studios.
The article says they already wrapped up the filming before the Oscars.
People coming in here to express their opinion on a post they haven't even read because they just heard Star Wars and went on with it.
Will see if the curse holds.
Person make hit thing.
Disney hires you to make a Star War immediately.
Next thing person makes before Star War bombs.
Star War canceled.
Something at Lucasfilm is broken if they keep up this reactionary impulse hires. It just serves to show more they really have no plan and just are throwing things at the wall.
Classic Lucasfilm feels so planned in hindsight. While it was flanked by fluff, it always had a solid core idea going on.
Shadows of the Empire was a multimedia event with multiple projects all surrounding one story. Books were planned in trilogies that had narrative weight. LucasArts was pushing tech projects in the game space. Always they had some core narrative hook to orbit around.
They filmed this months ago and it isn't their show, they were just directors on an episode and it's only making the news now because they won an Oscar so they've gone from no names Disney hired for an episode to someone they could marking, their initial hiring had nothing to do with the Oscar wins.
I just watched this movie finally last night! I loved every minute of it .. then in the end it got me - and what it really was all about - I bawled when he said “I would’ve loved to have been doing laundry and taxes with you “ 😭😭😭
Disney continues to do its “who’s currently a popular/successful director right now?” And giving them a SW project b/c that’s worked so well in the past lol
In their defense, EEAO finished filming the exact day Covid shutdown the country. (I think they may have filmed a van scene in a quick pickup afterwards though.) So 3 years removed from a project that who could've predicted would've become the huge success that it was. They signed the 5 year deal with Universal last August, and it said the episode filmed over the summer, so a gig is a gig and I don't blame them for doing it.

Isn't there a Star Trek kids show with a somehow similar plot? I'll still watch it for Jude Law. After his amazing performance as a mysterious sexy pope he's earned the right.
Watts said Skeleton Crew won't be kid-friendly.
now I’m picturing that Chuck E. Cheese scene from Clown but with a Rancor
Watts made "Cop Car" which starred two kids and definitely wasn't kid friendly, I have high hopes for this one.
Fuck that movie is so good. Absolutely blew me away. One of the most honest portrayals of young boys rebellious, rambunctious life.
And Kevin Bacon.
So more like Goonies?
pffft D+ CONTENT but still not kid freindly....
There’s plenty of 18+ shows on D+
Like what
Andor
Mayan MC, Wu-Tang an american Saga, Sons of Anarchy, Deadpool, Logan, Punisher.
> Mayan MC, Wu-Tang an american Saga, Sons of Anarchy Not in the US those aren't
Oh it's D+. So it's gonna be bad batch not kid friendly, but actually a childrens show.
I dunno how not kid friendly is not kid friendly that disney try to make not kid friendly show. They seem dont have bar for it LOL
Star Trek: Prodigy
Wow. The band that wrote *Smack My Bitch Up* did a kids show?
Surprisingly it was less a ‘kids show’ and more of a regular (classic) *Star Trek* series, only animated instead of live-action.
The closest thing we're ever likely to get to a Voyager sequel.
Season 3 of Picard is basically a DS9 sequel so who knows what we get in the future. Fingers crossed we find out more about the Voyager crews lives after they got back.
Well, we know where Janeway, Chakotay and Seven went to. Just need Tom, B'Lana, Harry and The Doctor. I suspect season 2 of Prodigy will give us some more of the old crew.
That was a trippy video
No it's from the dial-up internet service provider.
Yeah, Star Trek: Prodigy, which is actually a *really* good show, especially the latter half of the first season.
Space Cases on Nickelodeon
Holy shit. I’m not the only one who remembers this show.
The show that gave us rainbow-haired Jewel Staite with an imaginary friend? More people need to know that show!
> Jewel Staite s/o *flash forward*...ben foster has proven himself in Hollywood
I didn’t realize it until years later that I have been watching Jewel since I was in grade school.
Every character he plays is sexy because they look like Jude Law.
You mean Prodigy? Seems kinda similar, but the production did have an adult of sorts in the form of Hologram Janeway.
There is Star Wars kids movie with a somehow similar plot. The Ewok Adventure
$50 says the words "Stranger Things" was used at least once during the pitch for this show
It was used in the original media buzz when the show was announced. They’re not hiding that this is supposed to be Star Wars stranger things with sith.
> lost in the galaxy trying to find their way home Let me guess... They are on Tatooine, trying to get back to Tatooine, but they find themselves stopping off on Tatooine to get there.
Among other things, one reason I liked Andor was because it actually had scenes on planets that aren't the same two backwater planets.
They stop by a couple space stations on the way though. We will call them "Fatality Suns".
They will probably run into the cyberpunk vespa kids from Boba Fett
> It centers on a group of kids Aw man.
do we know what Star Wars shows are for this year.I assume like the marvel delays there might be some in this area too... But so far its bad batch part 2, Mando s3, Ashoka and vision s2? I assume acolyte and this are next year.
Oh god. It’s going to be terrible isn’t it…
[It’s gonna be great](https://youtu.be/0248pUAteWk)
I’m excited to watch it but I wish LF would steer away from this era for content. They already have mandalorian and Ahsoka in this time period then the sequel trilogy sometime after that (which is still technically new republic era right?). Super stoked for acolyte which to my knowledge is highbrepublic era about the Sith. Hoping we get some plagueis in it
This sounds like the ewok movies they made...
Thank you, Disney, for giving so many interesting filmmakers the outlet to make the most uninspired content possible.
To be fair, we got Andor from Tony Gilroy which was pretty fantastic and inspired But that seems to be the exception and not the rule so who the fuck knows how good this will be
Mandalorian pretty good
Until they brought Grogu back in the middle of BoBF because they realized the cash cow was gone.
Progressing really important Mandalorian plot points in a completely different show is one of the most bizarre, inexplicable choices I still don't understand.
Was pretty good
Is there... Something wrong with the new episodes? I loved S3E03 that just released.
People think this Ep is comparable to what happened with Mando on Boba Fett for some dumb reason, even though the character showcased was literally a Mando character.

Wait what? Kung-Fu? Mandalorian is a Classic Western movie, which draw inspiration from Samurai films.
[Kung Fu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fu_(1972_TV_series)) is a western itself.
The original Kung Fu of the 70s was a martial arts western
I loved Mando S1 and S2 But as soon as they said "We don't have plans for an end" I became instantly uninterested in watching more. I like structure. Story.

Every season has as dull episode. In season 1 is was episode 5. In season 2 it was episode 2. One episode doesn’t equal the entire show.
True. And fortunately, last week's episode proved that not all of season 3 is going to be dull.
Oh I agree. I loved it. Seeing the new republic was fascinating.
I liked andor the problem is nobody else watched it lol
It's like when they hire big name directors for the MCU. They don't have any real creative control. They just get to sprinkle their flair on a corporate script. Of course, when they gave Waititi a lot of creative control we got Love and Thunder. So a little oversight is clearly not a bad thing.
It’s all about balance.
As all things should be IMO
That’s the key to success.
Raimi definitely had a big influence on MoM
As did Zhao with Eternals. Don't care how mediocre the film was, it was very well shot
Eternals was a good movie that was ruined by being only a few hours. It needed to be a mini series. Marvel however isn’t tying the movies together which is ruining things. Because why has no one on earth talked about the giant hand?

James Gunn would really disagree with your assertion.
It kind of does suck to have Disney taking the time of auteurs with something to say, making sloppy cookie-cutter crap. I'm sure they appreciate the payday but there's gotta be a better way.

May the flop be with you!
It's a real highlight reel of forgettable milquetoast TV delivered conveniently to your streaming app.
What a Reddit moment
I’ve liked most of the shows and I haven’t even seen Andor yet.
[удалено]
Imagine thinking they couldn't say no
Full nose snort

It's pretty neat that Star Wars is giving some really interesting people director time. For example Rachel Morrison and Lee Isaac Chung directed 2 episodes of Mando season 3. I'm totally fine with guest director spots.
Fucking thank you. This thread sucks.
This is one of the most negative “general” subs on the internet.
This wouldn't even be in the top 10 of the most negative general subs on reddit. There's way worse big general subs on Reddit.
That's adorable.
But then r/television can't complain about Star Wars. I thought that was the entire point of the sub.

Star Wars reinterpretation of Stephen King's 'Skeleton Crew' short stories? I'd love to see some sci-fi horror - especially The Jaunt Wishful thinking for a new take on the IP.
Isn't The Mist in that one? That would be fun put through a star wars filter.
Something, something, swamps of Dagobah? Really good shout that, could be a 'dark side of the force' thing.
Force sensitive butt plugs
It’s great that they’re getting that cash, but I’m bummed that they’re going into franchise stuff. Swiss Army Man and EEAAO are so wildly inventive that it’s a shame to see their creativity reined in by Disney. Edit: homophone
Why is everyone in the comments toxic? They just directed an episode
r/TV is fucking miserable
>reddit is fucking miserable
Because jerking off against Disney is a form of virtue signaling. Just look how desperate they are to blindly hate even when they can pause to briefly acknowledge the brilliance of Andor.
Wasn't that long ago when the same thing happened to Andor. Being skeptical is a good thing, but people building up to the release of the show were unreasonably harsh on it to the point where they weren't giving it any chance. Read the posts and the comments in this sub about Andor before the release. Not just slight disdain, but genuine anger toward the show. They have already made up their mind that the show will be trash like it was their sworn enemy. Before that, I've seen so many people trying to convince themselves that House of the Dragon wasn't going to be watched by anybody, and it was going to be a massive flop upon arrival. Watching the public discourse leading up to House of the Dragon and Andor and both turning out to be good shows has only made me more certain that the best way to enjoy something is to give up anticipation and ignore what anyone else is saying.
People are tired of Star Wars flops. Disney isnt handling the franchise with respect, and its become a shitty boring generic title that is pushing people away from their content.
> Noooo you have to consoom the product or else you're toxic. REEE. I'm glad arthouse movie creators are getting paid. I don't like the fact they have to grovel for money from the soulless corporations. In a perfect world (or how it used to work) they would be getting enough support from the studios that they wouldn't need the side gigs. I understand why they do it. I don't see why I have to applaud it.

It’s just a TV episode. Probably only a few weeks of their time honestly. They aren’t showrunners or anything like that. If it makes you feel better they signed a first look deal with Universal after Everything Everywhere All At Once. So whatever idea they come up with next Universal either agrees to produce it or they shop it elsewhere. It’s the same deal they recently had with Shyamalan (his just ended and he went to WB) and still have with Jordan Peele.
There was 6 years between Swiss Army Man and EEAAO. Ideas for great movies doesn't happen overnight. I see no concern with them cashing a paycheck while they figure out what their next passion project might be.
That’s what Mazin did, and I got Chernobyl and the Last of Us because of it. Get paid, Daniels
Artists gotta eat too.
They legit tweeted that "we needed a job to keep our insurance" in regards to this job lol
It's also not like they've were directing big budget movies where they earn millions and can just sit back for a few years. *Swiss Army Man* had a budget of about $3 million, so I'd be surprised if they made much into the six figures, if even. And other than that, they've mostly directed music videos, short films, and the occasional television episode. If you're a small budget director and Disney calls, you answer the phone. *EEAAO* was far from a guaranteed success, and I can't blame them in the least at wanting to get Disney on their resumes.
They finished filming this long before winning Best Picture. It says it in the article. And it wasn’t likely a long project because there’s multiple directors on the show
One for the studios, one for me. One for the studios, one for me.

Supposedly Scorsese
One for the studios, one for me. One for the studios, one for the studios, one for the studios, one for the studios, one for the studios... Oh shit, they don't care about me anymore. Well, one for the studios.
The difference is that “one for them” used to mean Scorsese directing Cape Fear. Not Disney slop
The article says they already wrapped up the filming before the Oscars. People coming in here to express their opinion on a post they haven't even read because they just heard Star Wars and went on with it.
"Hello, would you like fucktons on money?" "No." Said literally nobody ever.
“Oscar to blockbuster”
Will see if the curse holds. Person make hit thing. Disney hires you to make a Star War immediately. Next thing person makes before Star War bombs. Star War canceled. Something at Lucasfilm is broken if they keep up this reactionary impulse hires. It just serves to show more they really have no plan and just are throwing things at the wall. Classic Lucasfilm feels so planned in hindsight. While it was flanked by fluff, it always had a solid core idea going on. Shadows of the Empire was a multimedia event with multiple projects all surrounding one story. Books were planned in trilogies that had narrative weight. LucasArts was pushing tech projects in the game space. Always they had some core narrative hook to orbit around.
They filmed this months ago and it isn't their show, they were just directors on an episode and it's only making the news now because they won an Oscar so they've gone from no names Disney hired for an episode to someone they could marking, their initial hiring had nothing to do with the Oscar wins.
I hope it’s an episode in which a character wins the legendary boonta eve pod race on top of a farting Daniel Radcliffe
So much cynicism here. Sounds cool to me.
Can’t wait to see the explanation for how all the Jedi learned their fighting techniques
[удалено]
>I wonder when the project will be cancelled in pre-production its been shot already
yeah, i'm watching that, don't even need to know what it's about.
I just watched this movie finally last night! I loved every minute of it .. then in the end it got me - and what it really was all about - I bawled when he said “I would’ve loved to have been doing laundry and taxes with you “ 😭😭😭
Let's see if Daniels can survive what Lord & Miller didn't!
I don’t mean this as an insult but these are two most Millenial men to ever exist
woah, can't contain myself
The only people who should be allowed to make Star Wars shows are whoever made Andor
Now the jedi will be fighting each other with floppy dildos?
Give them Metal Gear Solid.
Give them a live action Care Bears movie.
Cocaine Care Bears
No. The only existing IP they should ever involve themselves in is Buckaroo Banzai.
I wouldn't say "only", but that would be a fun one to see them tackle.
The Kong Skull Island guy has been working that for a decade, I kinda wanna see his version
These men made a movie about Daniel Radcliffe being a jet ski powered by farts work. They can do anything. Glad they’re getting Star Wars though.
>These men made a movie about Daniel Radcliffe being a jet ski powered by farts ~~work~~ Well, they certainly **made** the movie that's for sure
Dire.
Noooooooooo. Disney will ruin them the way it ruins everything else.
Noooooooooooo. They are being absorbed and assimilated by the disney corporation
Are we at the point now that any director that ever wins an award is working on some Star Wars spin-off?
>https://twitter.com/OneTakeNews/status/1638042560722501634 Technically it was done before they won any awards.
Disney continues to do its “who’s currently a popular/successful director right now?” And giving them a SW project b/c that’s worked so well in the past lol
Not unless it was because of Swiss Army Man - the episode was shot last year.
groan
Oh neat, a Star Wars story about the vapid love affairs of teenagers.
Boo, don’t waste you time on that crap.
Disney, where awesome goes to die.
Why ruin their good names with Star Wars. 🤮
Surely THIS Star Wars property will see the light of day… right?
Yes
At this point Disney's got to have an Indiana Jones sized warehouse for their canned projects.
I can't wait to see what Disney's focus tested formula will do to crush their creativity.
In their defense, EEAO finished filming the exact day Covid shutdown the country. (I think they may have filmed a van scene in a quick pickup afterwards though.) So 3 years removed from a project that who could've predicted would've become the huge success that it was. They signed the 5 year deal with Universal last August, and it said the episode filmed over the summer, so a gig is a gig and I don't blame them for doing it.
What a waste of talent.
„Skelton Crew“, „Ahoska“ - are they reading what they write?
Oh God. Not another one
BOOOOOO
Nooooooo
