Didn’t Disney say something about slowing down on Star Wars?-----and they are already in post production on Mando season 2. They…didn’t even wait for fan reactions before making more?!

also they can probably turn over one of these scripts in a week and bust out most of principle photography in another
imagine the setups you can burn through when your leads are an action figure without a face and a cgi-tweaked muppet swimming through green screens in front of your perpetually rolling digital camera that uploads straight to Bob Iger’s cyberbrain for safekeeping
edit: filming Mandalorian Season 2 The Marvel Way; Pascal’s mute stand-ins just perform mute actionman poses and months later Pedro makes up some dialogue that seems appropriate in the booth

Johnny Mnemonic but he’s the CEO of Disney and The Disney Vault is his brain implant and the Yakuzacorps want in!!!
They’re slowing down Star Wars movies. The TV shows are their replacement for movies.
A lot of this comes from the fact that people who dislike the TV shows just tune out, and people who love the tv shows are very vocal about their love.
And the Mandelorian is very much cast in the same mold as the latter half of clone wars and most of Rebels, including having at least one big reference to Rebels cannon in the finale, so the tv fans are super eating this show up.

TV show doesn’t have to make ONE BILLION DOLLARS or be considered a horrible failure.

It’s actually pretty amazing how easy it is to come up with a convincing action figure analogy re: TROS and The Mandalorian, where TROS feels like it was made by someone who had every single ridiculously expensive action figure and vehicle and is just deliriously trying to figure out how to make up a story involving all of them, and The Mandalorian is someone who only had an extremely random collection of discount action figures and has to pretend that like, random devil man from the background of the Cantina scene is actually an integral character of some kind

I buy this since this is the perfect encapsulation of my childhood toy collection.
IE: it was the Mandelorian.

I’m also convinced that an eventual episode of The Mandalorian will feature a Gungan character of some kind and it will be the greatest redemption story in Star Wars history

They already tried this on clone wars with Ahmed Best as jar jar and it still didn’t really work.
i think it would take like, a mild retconning of the ridiculously racist fake patois the Gungans speak into something that just sounds kind of like a normal Caribbean accent/dialect. I mean just say that he’s a Gungan from like… a different undersea bubble where people talk differently, idk

the nemoidians being a bunch of white dudes doing 1930s charlie chan accents is still like the pinnacle of lucas’ insanity to me

That is actually one thing that you can tell someone was extremely embarrassed about, because they get marginally less racist with every installment of the prequels
but this also means that every time i watch TPM i’m like, shocked all over again

The clone wars Cartoon attempting to make Toydarians not anti-semetic stereotypes and dropping the accent entirely was also a thing,

I remembered the accent disappearing entirely but ol’ Nute Gunray’s still up to his old vocal tricks! kind of! mildly!
hard cut from Padme in the Senate chamber to Anakin landing in foreground before An Alien Racism from presumable Jedi Jump another bold choice from Legendary Maverick George Lucas
In a weird twist they brought back Nute Gunray who has the guy who played spongebob doing a slightly different racist accent.
So I guess Clone Wars was hardly perfect either.
what the goddamn fuck was this movie
I was in a packed theater and it was dead fucking silent for 99% of the runtime
silently hoping they actually killed Chewie so I would have a reason to walk out
I know this is you dunking on RoS but the “landing on a star destroyer like idiots” sequence is literally the last set piece from the EA Battlefront 2 campaign
everything I had heard implied that they fucked this movie so hard that it was like they hadn’t actually planned out the trilogy, and then 5 minutes into the movie Palpatine is chillin from his life support system and I remembered the single player DLC for Battlefront 2 was called Resurection and realized they had planned things, just they chose the dumbest plan

Someone tried to clap at the end of my viewing and they got glared down and petered out immediately
You know what I’ve just realized is the hugest casualty from the complete deletion of TLJ from this movie? No more Benicio. What happened to Benicio, JJ
