A 'Rumour and News' thread for reported new Star Wars films and tv series — Page 3

They’ve given out the directing job to a few people over time. Time will tell if Johnson or even Waititi actually do anything.

Anything ‘could’ return. It’s easy to be vague, that’s part of talking to the press.

This does give me hope though. I’m not a huge fan of the ST any more, but I know no matter what your opinion of them is, we need to start exploring the era beyond them. So the president of Lucasfilm teasing a return for the characters being on the cards soon is a good sign. It’s also just nice to know there are projects in the works we don’t know about yet.

Fans of the ‘Tales of the Jedi’ comic series should find this Lucasfilm employee Christmas gift very interesting…

You can see the original post and the whole gift package here: https://imgur.com/gallery/XCnFpfv

If this really is a list of some upcoming projects, I’m glad to see Star Wars Visions getting another season too.

And the gift is an awful entry level turntable? Yikes.

Han: Hey Lando! You kept your promise, right? Not a scratch?
Lando: Well, what’s left of her isn’t scratched. All the scratched parts got knocked off along the way.
Han (exasperated): Knocked off?!

I see them on Amazon (without the Lucasfilm logo) for around $70. I dig it. Wish they’s send me one.

The case may be cool but the mechanical part (the actual turntable) is utter plastic crap. (as seen on the Techmoan YouTube channel)

Kid Focused High Republic Live-Action Series is in the Works | Exclusive by Jordan Maison

The only reason I pay attention to this is because Jordan Maison has been reliable for these kind of reports in the past. On a selfish level it’s a shame this is actively targeted at a younger audience, because the High Republic has mainly been quite mature and dark so far. However if it’s anything like the High Republic Adventures comic series by Daniel José Older, sign me up; I hope he’s the “member of the Luminous Team” involved with the story as well.

Update to the above: multiple sources now suggest a High Republic live action series begins filming in June. Seems to still be one with a younger cast of characters, even around 10-12 years of age: the article suggests it could be the story of how the friendship between Avar, Elzar and Stellan began, which could be interesting.

WARNING: character death spoiler for The Fallen Star contained within.

This series was rumoured a while ago but now we have some solid news on it, and it’s NOT a High Republic series.

Kennedy was talking about Rogue Squadron in a way that makes it clear it IS still happening at some point, though.

Unlike the way she was talking about Rian Johnson’s trilogy.

Dude I read this and was like, “WHAT?! A Ghibli collab?!?” That was new to me, but just realized that this is a new announcement.
