<strong>Star Wars: Rogue Squadron</strong> (theatrical film for 2023) - a general discussion thread
Time

Jenkins back to working on Rogue Squadron?
https://www.darkhorizons.com/jenkins-back-on-rogue-squadron-film/

“So, when I left Star Wars to do Wonder Woman 3 , I thought maybe I’ll come back to Star Wars after Wonder Woman 3 . So we did a deal for that to happen, started a deal, but I thought I was doing Wonder Woman.

When that went away, Lucasfilm and I were like, oh, we gotta finish this deal. We finished the deal right as the strike was happening. So I now owe a draft of Star Wars and so we will see what happens there. You know, like, who knows?

It’s hard, they have a hard job in front of them of what’s the first movie they’re gonna do. They have other directors who have been working, but I am now, you know, I’m back on doing Rogue Squadron and we’ll see what happens. We need to develop, you know, get it to where we’re both super happy with it.

<strong>The Acolyte</strong> (live action series set in The High Republic era) - a general discussion thread

Despite its detractors, the Canto Bight casino felt much more like a part of the SW universe than any other attempt Disney has made at replicating the OT look.

There, I said it.

Most of the ST at least was shot in an interesting way if nothing else. This samey desaturated low contrast stuff just seems flat and cheap.

I feel… nothing. What is the High Republic era and what separates this show from the others? I cannot tell you from looking at this trailer. It’s all coming out of the same pipeline as far as I can see. Not shot on the Volume? Well so what. Without any sense of style or unique personality how does that even matter.

'The Mandalorian &amp; Grogu' (Upcoming Movie) - General Discussion Thread
Time

https://www.darkhorizons.com/mandalorian-film-to-shoot-in-california/

Lucasfilm’s upcoming “The Mandalorian & Grogu” movie just scored big time with the help of the U.S. tax office.

Deadline reports that the California Film Commission has offered the production a stunning $21.755 million in conditional tax credits to ensure the production shoots in the Golden State.

I think they’ve become confused here though:

It’s also the first time a “Star Wars” film has been shot in California – even as multiple Disney+ series set in that universe are filmed there.

They airbrushed the microphone out too. Maybe to erase a signature on a version that was for sale. Funnily enough some copies online have this version and then added their own watermarks over that, editing it further.

The end of Star Wars physical media
Time

https://www.darkhorizons.com/sony-to-handle-disneys-physical-media/

In a major story over on The Digital Bits, the outlet reports that Disney and Sony have just done a major deal that will see Sony Pictures Home Entertainment take over all of Disney’s physical media production going forward.

The hope is that if this can lead to Disney releasing films more efficiently on disc, they may start releasing more of them. Unfortunately it’s doubtful they’ll come back to markets they’ve abandoned (eg. Australia).

'Rey Skywalker' (Upcoming live action motion picture) - general discussion thread
Time

They didn’t do anything worthwhile with the dyad in the last movie, it’s hard to imagine that it would be worthwhile now. Kylo Ren, aka the only person with characterisation, is still dead. I would imagine they’re going to ignore this whole idea and try another soft reboot. If it ever gets to production.

First new, verified change between AOTC 35mm theatrical and AOTC home versions!

It’s perfectly aligned with the frame and has a string of perforations on one edge. So a physical object of some kind, surely?

A quick search of Attack of the Clones film cells for sale shows that they have a strip this same teal color along the edges (part of the audio). But the reason for this artefact will have to be explained by someone else.

Ridley Talks Future “Star Wars” Excitement

"I was like, ‘It’s wonderful.’ It’s wonderful to be part of something that people love and to play a character that people… It’s so weird.

It’s really making me emotional thinking about it. I get to have more adventures. I’m like, ‘Where is she now? What is this new adventure and how are things going to go?’ That’s a long way of saying it’s great. It’s really great.”
