STAR WARS: The Mandalorian (Disney Streaming Service)

[Kwon]

This series has more than made up for the atrocities of the last 3 shit movies. I still can’t make it through the last one.  Hopefully Disney realizes they fucked up and have a do over but I doubt it.

Mandalorian repaired all the damage the latest 3 shit movies did.

They need Favreau and Filoni to do all things Star Wars from now on

I think there's a chance the sequel films could be retconned.

It seems they may have altered it already.  Bringing back Boba, then Grogu.  If Luke took him to train him, then he meets 4 year old Kylo Ren.  Kylo goes crazy and kills all of the kids.  Does he kill Grogu?  probably not since he is stronger with the force.

Disney announces nine new 'Star Wars' shows plus an 'Alien' series

Obi-Wan Kenobi" – Set 10 years after "Revenge of the Sith" so, right in-between the prequels and the original trilogy. It starts principal photography in Boston and London in January of 2021 and stars Ewan McGregor in the title role and Hayden Christensen will return as Darth Vader.

"Andor" –Starring Diego Luna as Cassian Andor and Alan Tudyk as K-2SO in the prequel series to "Rogue One" that is already filming in London.

"Ahsoka" and "The Rangers of the New Republic" – They will both form part of "The Mandalorian" timeline. The former will be a limited series starring Rosario Dawson and not much is known about the latter, except that it will probably follow an episodic format. Both will be managed by Dave Filoni and John Favreau.

"Bad Batch" – An animated series set to air in 2021. They first appeared in an episode of "The Clone Wars" called "The Bad Batch" (S07, E01) that followed a clone commando squad during the Clone Wars called Clone Force 99 that consisted of four clone troopers designed with unique "mutations" that make them exceptional soldiers and extremely skilled in their field

"A Droid Story" – Not much was said about this, except that Lucasfilm's animation department will partner with their VFX team, Industrial Light and Magic to create a new show that will somehow incorporate C-3PO and R2-D2.

"Visions" – Again, very little was said about this except that it will be a collection of 10 short films celebrating the "Star Wars" Universe.

"Lando" – Following the popular character first seen in "The Empire Strikes Back" and played by Billy Dee Williams and then later portrayed by Donald Glover in "Solo." Not much was said about this, except that it will be an "event series," which means it will probably be a limited series.

"The Acolyte" – A mystery-thriller live-action series from "Russian Doll" creator Leslye Headland that will focus on the emergence of dark side powers in the final days of the High Republic Era.

Plus there will be a new, as-yet unnamed Taika Waititi "Star Wars" movie. Not much is known about this, but during the event, Kathleen Kennedy called his approach to "Star Wars," "fresh, unexpected and unique" so it could be interesting, whatever it is.

But the best news from the event is that the amazing Patty Jenkins will direct a feature length movie entitled "Rogue Squadron." Jenkins posted an incredible tweet yesterday explaining how her father was a distinguished USAF F4 pilot who received the silver star during the Vietnam war and that she'd always dreamed of directing the best fighter pilot movie she possibly could to honor his memory. And now she has that chance, as she puts on an X-Wing pilot's helmet…and we reach for the nearest box of tissues to wipe the tears from our eyes.

As long as it's handled by Favreau and Filoni, i have 100 % faith that it will be true to the original source-material and then improved upon.


Not like the Rian Johnson / Jar Jar Abrams-shitfests

Carano sacked for talking about "the chosen" people apparently.

It's probably because she was tearing through the costumes as she kept getting fatter.

too many shows could cause oversaturation and eventually '' fatigue '' for anything star wars if so many shows are airing at the same time

its possible, she was getting a bit chunky

for her to be strong enough to fight men , it was more realistic that way

Yeah, saw this earlier - she sounded a bit like a GetBigger

Hmm... Need pics to be certain

This is exciting, she had one niche and she's fucked it up. It won't be long before she's in porn

The next big star to get canned might be Chris Pratt. Every few months Twitter comes after him hard, one of these days they'll hit the right combo.

The original Carano post wasn't that bad, but we must have group think. Even the French laugh at us here in the States -

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/09/world/europe/france-threat-american-universities.html .


" PARIS — The threat is said to be existential. It fuels secessionism. Gnaws at national unity. Abets Islamism. Attacks France’s intellectual and cultural heritage.

The threat? “Certain social science theories entirely imported from the United States,’’ said President Emmanuel Macron.

French politicians, high-profile intellectuals and journalists are warning that progressive American ideas — specifically on race, gender, post-colonialism — are undermining their society. “There’s a battle to wage against an intellectual matrix from American universities,’’ warned Mr. Macron’s education minister.

Emboldened by these comments, prominent intellectuals have banded together against what they regard as contamination by the out-of-control woke leftism of American campuses and its attendant cancel culture. "

Here's a transcript of her instagram post -

"Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors... even by children... Because history is edited, most people today don't realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?" .

People just need to leave social media.

This.

“Carano, who played the recurring character Cara Dune on the “Star Wars” series, deleted the post but it was widely shared online and spurred the #FireGinaCarano hashtag to trend.”

How many times have we seen that?  Deleting the post just draws more attention to it.  Keep your mouth shut and leave the pontificating to politicians and academics. Actors who talk out of turn quickly become unemployed actors.  For future reference, there are certain metaphors one should never invoke: Jews in Nazi Germany... slavery... removal of the Native American, etc.  More often than not the effort to do so goes south and reflects poorly on the speaker.

Seems simple, but they just don't do it.

However, this should not be an offense that causes termination.

Why? Can't have an opinion? People need to man up.

The "woke" actors never lose their job from political bs. Only conservatives or rightwing.

gasp, you mean when your publicly stated views don't align with that of your employer they fire you? what a shocking turn of events

That I understand.

However, she was using a metaphor highlight the treatment of conservatives.  She wasn't mocking Disney's core audience.

Probably a poor metaphor, as Bay pointed out, but shouldn't cause termination.

Pedro Pascal tweeted an now deleted tweet comparing Trump supporters to Nazis.  No metaphor there, no  termination either.

This just shows the bias, and Gina's point, is real.

Soon without the mask. The Last of Us.



HBO's The Last of Us TV show casts The Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal as Joel. Naughty Dog's wildly popular video game franchise took a major step forward to getting a live-action adaptation last year. HBO announced early in the year that Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin was developing The Last of Us as a TV show. It was then announced near the end of the year, and after The Last of Us Part II's huge launch, that it had been picked up for a series order.

While news on HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us had been relatively slow beyond these updates, some signs of it making major progress materialized recently. The series added a new director for its pilot after the original choice had to exit due to scheduling. It was also just announced that Game of Thrones breakout Bella Ramsey was cast as Ellie. The news gave HBO's The Last of Us show half of its leading duo, and fans only had to wait a few hours to find out who is playing Joel.
