Kal-El814 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 SWCE 2023: Three New Star Wars Movies Announced | StarWars.com WWW.STARWARS.COM Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy confirmed three new Star Wars films from James Mangold, Dave Filoni, and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. Quote 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 Rise of Skywalker, and feature Daisy Ridley back as Rey as she builds a new Jedi Order. Hey, I'm for it. Directors look good, concepts sound fun, excited about three eras of nonsense. Super pumped that Filoni might get to "finish" his arcs in a movie. Also I hope the Rey movie involves Rey turning her lightsaber into the colors of the trans flag while her, Finn, and Rose establish a Jedi Order governed by their polycule, motherfuckers die mad.

Bjomesphat Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I'm excited for the Old Republic and the Rey stuff, but I'm kind of over stories told between events in the movies. I really hope they move on from this after Ahsoka and the Filoni movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legend Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I like Daisy even though I found Rey's arc shallow and find the whole "Skywalker" name choice stupid. Hopefully they can do better by her. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she had to adopt a surname, it really should've been "Solo". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All indications in the movie is that it's a superficial name choice, but it's the last word in the series, so they could always re-justify it later. Maybe give JJ a bit of his own medicine of other directors changing the interpretations in the next movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 i’ll never forget the groan that a few people let out opening night when she said skywalker. was the cherry on top to a terrible movie. im down for a movie with Rey, though. just keep jj abrams away from it.

Brick Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 How long until they're cancelled though? Really hope the Rey one doesn't feel like Episode X though. I feel the Episodes should be a one in a generation trilogy, so we should see X, XI, XII much later with a new younger batch of heroes, and Rey, Finn, and Poe all much older.

Greatoneshere Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I mean, I'm not opposed to any of those movies, but after basically cancelling D.B. Weiss and David Benioff's potential Star Wars movies, then Rian Johnson's potential Star Wars movies, then not working with Zack Snyder's Star Wars-Seven Samurai in space idea (which has now become Rebel Moon), cancelling Patty Jenkins' Star Wars movie. Cancelling Josh Trank's Star Wars movie. Firing Phil Lord and Chris Miller on Solo: A Star Wars Story. Firing Michael Arndt after trying to write the screenplay to The Force Awakens. Firing Colin Trevorrow for Episode IX but keeping the release date and hiring J.J. Abrams instead to rush and finish it. It has been an absolute shit show in terms of announcing then cancelling Star Wars film projects. So we'll see. 1 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 James Mangold's sounds by far the most interesting to me, both because he's directing it and it's the furthest removed from the films. Even as a Star Wars nerd, I've never loved the really arcane lore surrounding the nature of the force (like we got in Rebels), but Mangold makes good stuff and no one will mention Skywalker, so that's a plus. With all the Disney+ series, I'm feeling rather full up on the era between films, but since Filoni is directing I'm more hopeful than I would have been otherwise. I'd love for his film to mark the end of Mandolorian, Book of Boba Fett, Ashoka, etc. and for future series to be bet set farther out from established lore. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's feels like the most risky of the three. She's the least proven director a Star Wars film since Josh Trank and I'm nervous about any Star Wars product that has to deal with following episode IX. I'm nervous about what Disney intends to do with that timeline. I really hope they don't reboot the empire and the death star again. They can't right? They must have some other idea for how to have bad guys in Star Wars... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 It's kind of crazy how little I care about any of these announcements considering how much of a Star Wars fanboy I was for the first half of my life. I don't even care enough to read about these or what they are. I'll probably check em out in 4 years or whatever, but I am so out of any fucks to give for the Star Wars franchise. I just do not care anymore. I'm looking forward to Andor Season Two. I'm sure the rest of this will amuse me mildy and/or make me grumble for the few hours I spend watching it and then will get washed away with the endless flood of content coming from everywhere all the time. Star Wars is just played out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5timechamp Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 … so this is why so much hate and bitching is coming out if Star Wars social media.. got it I like Ridley as Rey.. I hope she finally gets an arc where she gets to truly shine… if not then she can at least wait another 10 yrs so that the sequel trilogy gets the revisionist love like the prequels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people will look fondly on TFA, I think at some point the chatter around TLJ will focus largely on the things that the movie does right. Rise though... I dunno. I'd say the PT movie that ate the most shit in real time was Phantom Menace but even then people vibed to Duel of the Fates, people bought pod racing toys and they made video games that took place in that era. For the ST we have... Battlefront II and the Lego games? It'll be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the same thing will happen with the ST to some degree. The terminally online people will never come around on TLJ though.

Just reading through Reddit yesterday I can’t believe the number of grown ass men still crying about “what they did to my childhood hero” And they'd be wrong. I was 13 when The Phantom Menace came out, and I'm 36 today. I've seen the prequels a number of times since 1999, and they've never been good upon reflection. Yet, when I watch the OT, you can see the great and classical filmmaking on display - they are still good. This only proves that people can't separate nostalgia from quality. I agree with you that the PT has seen a renaissance among people my age and younger, and I'm not sure how they justify all the boring "walking and talking" scenes, the bad filmmaking, everything almost being a two-shot back and forth conversation, the obvious CG, the poor editing, acting, and dialogue, and so forth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of this is correct. The PT has individual moments, actors, and characters that shine too even if the final product is bad on the whole. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
