    I don't understand what I just watched. Is this for the current audience or new audience or older audience? I can't describe the premise or tone. You could take that trailer and reedit to make trailers for at least two different shows.

    That Tron set is 1:18 scale and $260? When I saw pictures of it earlier, I assumed it was 1:12 scale. $260 for that scale made sense. Not at 1:18.

    Is the Night-Viper a kit bash? For such a cool design this one isn't that impressive.

    But is it fine enough to take the entire family to the theater pay full price for tickets and popcorn on the opening weekend when you can just wait for it on Disney Plus?

    It is my opinion that Lucas and others are wrong about Star Wars being for kids. You can categorize movies for 3 audiences: kid friendly, family friendly and grownup friendly. Of the 3 only family friendly has something that will appeal to all audiences. With the other two categorizes only the named audience will enjoy their experience. Traditionally Star Wars has been family friendly. Later sequels and prequels introduced extended sequences that were specifically kid friendly. I guess you could call this Fan Service for Children. We usually see it in the form of cute and funny creatures and droids getting into cartoonish situations. This trailer is showing a lot of that.

    Boba's character assassination was result of I think them not wanting lead characters to be bad. Children are watching. We can't have him a crime lord doing criminal activity.

    That's what I'm saying. They're really pushing towards the more insipid parts of season 3. First 2 seasons were more for the entire family. Disney might be spending more money on CGI characters and special effects but I'm in this trailer I'm not seeing any cinematic cinematography. Whole trailer is just giving me vibes of a made for TV movie.

    Sorry to say but that doesn't look very good. This is supposed to be a movie for the big screen. Why does all the production value look like it straight from Disney Plus? Movies are meant to be cinematic in appearance. This isn't that. Half the trailer is baby Yoda doing cute things. This tells me the target audience for this movie is really young. Why spend money at the theater for the whole family on what looks like a normal episode of the show?

    Actor Terence Stamp, who starred as Superman villain General Zod, dies aged 87

    Ditto. Cavil is bad casting physically wise. Connor was the underdog. Look at Cavil he looks like he could take care of himself.

    Nothing against the cast or the concept but it looks very fake. Like nobody is at a real location. The academy setting should have the same benefit the DS9 originally had - a stationary location. You can save money because you don't have to build a new set each week for the new planet you visit. Don't even have to spend money building entirely from scratch. Just rent out an old school or office building with conference rooms and just redress it.

    Just got my Rattler shipping notification from FedEx. Still says shipping pending on Pulse. I'll be skipping the Snow Cat.

    As long the public respond to it like they did with Rogue One and Andor. Not what like they did with Solo. In my opinion Solo wasn't that bad. I even kind of liked it. The downhill spiral started with Rian Johnson's Last Jedi. He had successes both before and after Star Wars. He has proven himself when doing his own thing and should have been given a stand-alone movie first and not one the sequels. Let Filoni watch over the current continuity that sells toys. Invite other directors to pitch their ideas for side stories. If they got a good idea approve it. Maybe keep the budget under a one hundred million so one bomb doesn't put a stop to everything.

    Fan Works means by actual human fans.

    I've got problem with them having post sequels and even sequels in the first place. Star Wars in its original form was a fairytale. As we know fairytales end with "and they lived happily ever after." They vanquished the evil wizard in the original trilogy. Which should have been brought peace to the kingdom, but they undid everything to make the sequels. It is what they'll do again to make the post sequels. Nothing will end. Every final victory against the dark side in a trilogy is basically meaningless because it will all be undone for the next trilogy.
