Post Skywalker Saga Star Wars Movies
Duke Togo replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
This is not what happened. Well, correction, they brought JJ back on board to steer things back toward the first movie after the second one ruffled feathers. That did happen. But there was no change in course after the first one. They've been really open about this: they gave Rian creative control over the second movie. He could do what he wanted, and he did. But there was no change in course after the first movie by Disney or Lucasfilm. The movie was a massive hit and did well with critics.- 460 replies

They lost faith after TFA made $2 billion at the box office? That makes no sense. Neither Disney nor Lucasfilm decided on a story direction change after TFA. Rian Johnson did, and he was given the creative freedom to do so. And the Carrie Fisher died, and the plans for the third film got turned upside down.- 460 replies

Duke Togo replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I wasn't able to suspend my disbelief through any of this, and I immensely dislike the implications of the ending. I'm not sure who the audience for this is supposed to be. It had the logic of a kids' cartoon, but the violence of something for adults.- 35 replies

I watched the first of the three stories and this really comes across as an animated 300 with the Predator in it. Don't expect anything grounded here. The humans are superhuman and the Predator is Hulk-sized.- 35 replies

RIP Jonathon Jones (John Redcorn, "King of the Hill")

Dispute? It was a hate crime. -
They have not shied away from this with Ahsoka. Edit: off the top of my head, she's lost to Maul, Vader, and Baylan.
-
There is plenty of male vs female combat in Star Wars, so I'm not buying that at all. That some women occasionally come into conflict with one another is natural. It's not some forced trope. Hell, him using Ahsoka as an example makes this thinking even more ridiculous. She's fought just about everyone.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing some of these Imperial characters back in a "Judgement at Nuremberg" type production.
-
Essentially, "too many women involved in Star Wars." There's no other reasonable way to read it.
-
Of course he does. Oh look, two examples that aren't anywhere close to being the primary conflicts in their respective series. That's because the primary conflicts in every Star Wars series has been men to men, or men to women.
-
That's not even remotely true. And don't bring that sort of nonsense here. Go back to X or YouTube or wherever else your kind of fan hangs out.
-
I find it amusing that anyone thinks Disney is making story decisions.
-
If Dedra survived the war, she was almost certainly punished for her crimes against humanity. The Imperials are patterned after the Nazis, who kept meticulous records about everything. If you did something as an Imperial, there is a record of it.
-
Somehow, GRRM will find a way to have himself further distracted by this.
-
Yes. They're the ones who have consumed most of the animated content. Like my brother (who has never seen a single episode of Andor).

If they didn't have faith in the show, it would never have been on HBO to begin with. I do think it's likely that it was a bigger hit than expected, so they asked for more seasons than 2 or 3.

My (half) brother is 27. Ahsoka is his favorite character and he loves all the animated stuff. Pretty much the only SW media he consumes. I haven't talked to him about this latest show, but I'm sure it's the kind of thing he'd enjoy.

So, they've now announced there will be a 4th season. I'm confused as to how the first game was covered in one season, but they need three seasons for the second game.

Yeah, but do the kids like it? I accept that the animated stuff is made for a young crowd and I just skip it. Outside of Visions.
