One more week left. I’m looking forward to the first three episodes of season 2 next Tuesday. I can’t wait for this.
Andor S2 becomes the most expensive Star Wars project in terms of annual spending:

Why do you think the price of Disney + subscription went up in price. Why they had to release the Marvel and Star Wars shows on 4K, to gain more revenue to pay for all this.
That’s another reason why The Mandalorian season 3 was nixed and moved to theaters. They need the money obviously, that’s why in 2025, Disney+ subscribers will pay more again in the fall.
This is the poster, but this particular unreleased poster was found in a thrift store. It’s not really a poster, it’s printed on a cloth material with a small piece of wood on top and bottom sewn into it.
This might be released next weekend at San Diego Comic Con as they push this new show on Disney plus. I heard it might not release until early 2025.
I wouldn’t do it at all. But if I had to, it could be cool to have very cryptic, creepy 2-second shots of him sensing things through the Force. No explanation of who he is. Like maybe he feels some kind of ripple and his eyes open when Luke meets Obi Wan or tells him he wants to be a Jedi, he smiles when Alderaan gets blown up, and he looks irate when the death star is destroyed.
I was thinking where you could add the Emperor, and I think I figured it out.
The scene is when Luke returns to Obi-wan Kenobi after seeing Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru’s dead bodies. He says, “There’s nothing for me here now, I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi, like my father.”
There’s a scene wipe shortly after that, it should cut to the Emperor meditating and he opens his eyes and says, “Good…good, fulfill your destiny.” (laughs)
It would work better as a series, to flesh the characters out more, but it wouldn’t have a high enough budget. That’s why it’s a movie
Mandalorian & Grogu has a release date of May 22, 2026. A little over two years from now.
It might be interesting to extend the scene of Tarkin learning the situation on Dantooine. It would start with the darkened conference table and a voice coming through from the orb at the center. The Emperor warns Tarkin that the destruction of Alderaan could drive more support to the Rebellion, but Tarkin assures him that they now have the location of the Rebel base. The transmission ends and they receiver word that Dantooine is a bust, leading Tarkin to call for Leia’s execution.
I was thinking the same exact thing. It has to be before Leia is brought to the deck to watch her planet explode.
Hiding the Emperor’s face until The Empire Strikes Back does nothing, because we see his face in the Kenobi series talking to Vader. It’s weird we don’t see Yoda or the Emperor in A New Hope.
I wish they could get Jimmy Smits to film that scene on Alderaan as it explodes. He witnesses the green laser striking his planet and we see the ground crumble and move like an ocean wave across the planet and a scared and concerned look on his face and the planet starts to explode.
After seeing the Obi-wan Kenobi series, to see Alderaan explode from on the planet’s surface would make me feel so very sorry for Princess Leia.
Watching the original, you don’t really have that connection as Leia does. They should film that scene at least, before he gets too old or retires.
I want to see Alderaan from Bail Organa’s point of view as he sees the Death Star come into view. He knows what’s coming after the events on Jedha and Scarif. We see a tear rolling down his face, and then the green laser hits and then nothing’s left.
I think they were trying to copy The Mando naming convention.
I thought so, it just feels so meh.
Ep1: The Summoning
Ep2: The Mission
Ep3: The Chase
Ep4: The Escape
Ep5: The Battle
Ep6: The Confrontation
Everything starts with “The”
You should try and come up with different ideas, you can have one or two that begin with “The”
Ep4: Escape from…
Ep6: An Old Friend
Just a couple of examples
But ToD is a prequel, so it happened before Indy knew Marion?
Actually, he knew Marion when she was his student. They had an inappropriate teacher/ student relationship. Indy knew her father, so that caused a problem. Then he went off and had the Temple of Doom adventure.
When he saw Marion in Raiders, Marion was furious, because he took advantage of her when she was younger.
-Young Indy Vol. 1-3
-Young Marion events prior to Temple of Doom.
-Temple of Doom
-Raiders of the Lost Ark
-The Last Crusade
-Indy playing the sax scene
-The Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls
-The Dial of Destiny
-Old Indy scenes from Young Indy show
Would be cool if they reshot the old Indy scenes with Harrison Ford and added them to the old series.
RIP Carl Weathers
Here’s Ethan Pro’s The Force Awakens poster in much better quality. I removed the Episode VII logo that was at the bottom of the poster. It’s not perfect, but maybe someone can make it better than I could.
Credit goes to Ethan Pro, he did a terrific job drawing and painting these.
I fixed the broken links, sorry.
It has to be something big they are setting up, more actors, more crew, big surprises. I guess we’ll have to wait for the season 4 episodes to understand the theatrical finale.
I wonder if the trailer will be attached at the end of season 4 on Disney+
Best to worst
Raiders
Last Crusade
Temple of Doom
Dial of Destiny
Crystal Skull
It’s a shame that we couldn’t get a grown up Short Round and older Indiana movie. Ke Huy Quan seems so enthusiastic around Harrison, there’s a certain camaraderie between the two actors. It’s really nice to see that. I think there’s a movie there, if done right, or maybe a short series on Disney +
A limited series that isn’t too hard for Harrison.
Would be funny if Short Round asked about the pretty lady (Kate Capshaw) Indy was with in front of Marion.
Marion: What pretty lady?
Indy: (Looks at Short Round and waves his hands to stop)
SR: Nobody Mrs. Jones
You can now purchase the remaining Sabine and Chopper from Hasbropulse that matches the carded figures that come with The Ghost, Hera, Ezra, Kanan, and Zeb

The new remaining figures for those Tiers, Sabine and Chopper.
These are the Special Mural carded backgrounds that come with the Ghost ship from Haslab. These are a preorder right now from Hasbropulse for 49.99 USD
For anyone interested and didn’t know about it.
These shows have a purpose, that’s…
It’s in that order of precedence too.

The one on the Gizmodo article seems to be pretty high quality still, you’d just have to remove the Episode VII and crop it a bit.
It’s not big enough, it’s too compressed and looks like crap, sorry.
I will try and see what I can do, but it won’t look the same as the others.
Those look great! I can’t find the textless one in good quality but the one with text is a much higher resolution, may take some Photoshop to get the TFA one complete.
Thanks, it looks like he prevented people from stealing his artwork online. He must have found out that someone posted his artwork. You can’t save his art anymore, he blocked it all now.
If anyone has a good copy from earlier of The Force Awakens, I’ll clean it up best that I can.
The other two are further down, just keep scrolling.

This is pretty much exactly that. If someone could make Blu Ray covers out of all 9 of these posters that would be amazing.
If someone can get me a better version of The Force Awakens poster from Ethan Pro, I can do that one.
I wanted to just do the posters, so that way I can keep more of the detail in the art.
Here’s the new link:
I think the force echo will feature prominently in this, as Sabine will most likely sense it or feel it, as well as Jacen sensing something too.
I think we’ll get The Mandalorian Season 3, The Book of Boba Fett, and Andor Season 1 in January/February 2024
Marvel we’ll probably see Falcon and the Winter Soldier, MoonKnight and Hawkeye in February
She Hulk and Ms. Marvel in March, as The Marvels will be released around early March.
I think Disney is going to release the original trilogy again in theaters in 2027 for the 50th anniversary.
The Empire Strikes Back actor Treat Williams has died in a motorcycle accident.
