That, and do I do hope they land this New Republic film, and whatever this “climactic story event” is. But that hope is fading if the quality and execution of stories is going to be like BoBF or the last season and a half of The Mandalorian.
Yeah, I know the feeling. It seems like the best Star Wars of the modern era is going to be the stuff that has Favreau and Filoni as far removed from production as possible. They’re both decent storytellers on their own, but they seem to feed each other’s worst impulses in a very strange way. Right now, The Acolyte, Skeleton Crew and Andor season 2 seem to be much more promising than anything “Mandoverse” related.
Exactly, and also how I feel about the new shows being distant from F&F.
I think we’re also a little tired of their “playing with action figures” and somehow honouring “George’s way” chats.
Like Emre says above, and many others on here too, Favreau had us concerned when he told the fans to go look stuff up online about how the end of Mandalorian season 2 ended (for anyone who hadn’t seen BoBF). He is the man in charge of doing crossover shows which form the “Mandoverse”, which is going to culminate “climactic story event", that will now be a film. And he is telling fans to go online and find additional content themselves? As he wouldn’t be explaining the resolution of that 2-season story arc taking place on another show, in his own show featuring those two main leads. Not even as a recap.
That is some lazy shit. And then season 3 began.
I don’t want sound like someone shitting on Star Wars all the time, yet F&F really don’t help themselves. If Thrawn is planned to be the climactic “climactic story event" in that film, I think they’re going to underwhelm and disappoint a lot of fans. Man I want to be so wrong on that and for it to blow us all away.
