Big s Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 To be fair, I don’t think they or anyone else really saw what would happen this year. They will have to to quite a bit of catching up as soon as things normalize. Quote

Mog Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) The directors’ ep was fairly cool. * Convinces you that Filoni should have a bigger role in reviewing ALL Star Wars stories. * I never knew that Chow directed an ep of Mr. Robot. * And I would have loved to be a fly on the wall listening in on Ron Howard, Lucas, and Kurosawa having a conversation.

Kelsain Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 11 hours ago, TangledThorns said: So not as Rex but Boba Fett it seems. However, Rex & Boba would be about 45 by the time of Mandalorian. Given Rex’s accelerated aging, he’d seem closer to 90 years old by that time. I’m ok with letting his ROTJ retcon cameo be his final entry. They didn’t even show him during the Rebels epilogue, so he may have just hung up his helmet after that. Quote
derex3592 Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 If anyone hasn't yet watched the new Gallery shows on Disney+, I highly recommend it. Kathleen Kennedy is there at the beginning of the 2nd show, but thankfully NOT long. She cuts off one director and steers the conversation to herself. You can see Favreau is just annoyed by her. ANYHWHOOO.....The last 10 minutes of the 2nd one, Dave Filoni just talks about Star Wars. He won't stop, and it is GLORIOUS! Now I'm a life long Star Wars fan of 45 years and he brings up stuff even I never picked up on. Just amazing. If anyone has any doubt, watch this and then tell me that he shouldn't be in charge of all things Star Wars moving forward. He IS THE MAN! (I'm not saying so much from a business perspective, I'm sure he's not interested in that, but from a creative aspect) Quote

(I'm not saying so much from a business perspective, I'm sure he's not interested in that, but from a creative aspect) Just watched the 2 available episodes. It is really good. I really liked that all the directors actually work together and are around on set even when it wasn’t their episode to confer with one another and as Taika said make sure he/ they don’t go too off course. Something sorely missing in the sequels. Dave’s speech at the end of the second episode is really great. I think he really speaks what’s in the soul of many if not most Star Wars fans. He’s genuine and heart felt. Chris Quote
Mog Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 What I enjoy about Filoni is that he’s quick to point out where his weaknesses are and give credit to those who helped him improve. I think he pointed out that, at the start of Clone Wars, he had always storyboarded and then was told that Clone Wars wouldn’t have any storyboarding. He credits Lucas for improving his abilities in a variety of ways. He gives major props to Favreau for helping him learning the ins and outs of directing live-action. Again the collaboration is awesome to see. Quote

Mog Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 Holy crap! Filoni actually made me appreciate Phantom Menace now. Bloody brilliant and beautiful explanation for the first six movie episodes! Quote

Bloody brilliant and beautiful explanation for the first six movie episodes! I've said this for the longest time, but there is nothing actually wrong with the over arching story of The Phantom Menace or the rest of the prequels. The directing and script dialog are its weak spots. The Sequel Trilogy have almost the complete opposite problem. There's no question the films were at least competently directed and the three films had nowhere near the same amount of cringy lines the Phantom Menace did. The sequel trilogy's problem is the story itself is so inherently flawed, contradictory, incoherent and dysfunctional not just from film to film, but internally in the single films themselves. They're a broken mess and it shows the had no game plan or thought of an overarching storyline when they began the project. When your new "canon" novels and comics waste most of their time trying to either explain the story or retcon parts of the film leading to even more contradictions and retcons, you know you've screwed up.

With AOTC, the romance fell flat (what’s Padme’s motivation for liking Anakin?). And overall, there was too much “tell me,” rather than “demonstrate it” in the characters’ actions and interactions.

And overall, there was too much “tell me,” rather than “demonstrate it” in the characters’ actions and interactions. I agree with both of you. When I saw AotC in IMAX they needed to edit the movie and cut several scenes so that it would fit in the IMAX projectors memory. They basically cut all the cringe “romance” and Anakins tantrum at the begining and I gotta say....The movie was SO much better. When Padmé confessed her love for Anakin at the end it actually worked better because the little we did see was decently done and then our natural imaginations filled in the blanks. I often wish I could see that cut again. Chris Quote
TangledThorns Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 I just finished that second episode and Filoni is THE GUY that should be running Star Wars, especially after Lucas departs this Earth. He gets it, better than most fans. Filoni explaining Anakin and family made me rethink my appreciation for the prequels. Also, KK is bad. Just bad. Her rudely injecting herself into the conversation the way she did and watching Jon Favreau's body language to her said it all. Quote

Mog Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 All those in favor of having Filoni go over all Star Wars related media for story content and for a sanity/consistency check, say “Aye.” Quote
