<strong>The Bad Batch</strong> (animated series) - a general discussion thread - * <strong>SPOILERS</strong> *
Time

I am a little disappointed there is only one more season this, but am happy it has the chance to finish up the stories it wants to tell. The majority of season 2 was very good, some early filler episodes apart, it was not far from Andor levels of quality and interest to me. And like others in here, I found this more enjoyable than some of the other recent Star Wars series, Mandalorian included.

So I hope season 3 will be on those high levels of season 2!

Kevin Feige Developing New Star Wars Movie
Time

Me too.

The story of this is even more confusing now as this article points out:

Kevin Feige Star Wars Movie Mess Just Got Even More Confusing at Den Of Geek
 

Kathleen Kennedy did say intthe IGN inverview: “Kevin Feige’s project was something announced in the press, or I suppose fandom. But there was nothing. Nothing ever got developed. We never discussed an idea,”
 

But it was Disney’s then-chief creative office Alan Horn who broke the news that Kevin Feige was working on a Star Wars film in 2019:

“We are excited about the projects Kathy and the Lucasfilm team are working on, not only in terms of Star Wars but also Indiana Jones and reaching into other parts of the company including Children of Blood and Bone with Emma Watts and Fox. With the close of the Skywalker Saga, Kathy is pursuing a new era in Star Wars storytelling, and knowing what a die-hard fan Kevin is, it made sense for these two extraordinary producers to work on a Star Wars film together,"
 

and the writer for the Feige’s Star Wars film also said this in 2022:-

“It’s coming along, it’s nice to have some time to focus on it. And it’s fun to get to do something that feels fresh and original, and I’m excited to work with Kevin again, and with the team at Lucasfilm. And I love Star Wars. So it’s a blast.”

“I’m writing away,” Waldron also told Variety last May. “I’m enjoying having the freedom on that to do something that’s not necessarily a sequel or anything. It maybe has a little bit less of a — it just doesn’t have a bunch of TV shows and movies that you’re servicing on top of it, the way I did with Doctor Strange. So it’s nice. It feels like a different exercise."
 

Maybe the script for Feige’s Star Wars film came to nothing in the end? Or Kathleen Kennedy did not see the script that was written? It does all seem weird for her to say “But there was nothing. Nothing ever got developed.”

Very strange.

Am i the only one that has a fundamental issue with Clones' Inhibitor Chips?
Time

Juno Eclipse said:

Was it ever explained why the Clones did not kill Anakin, a Jedi as far as they are concerned. Or the Jedi who later became Inquisitors? Was it something in the inhibitor chip, or something else?

I don’t think it has been explained. I think is one of those things the writers probably want us not to think too much about? I am probably wrong, or forgetting an important episode, but I can’t remember an explanation.

In the final season of The Clone Wars, after Order 66 I think there is a mention of clones saying something about Ahsoka still being considered a Jedi, which is why they turn on her too? (despite her leaving the Jedi some time before.)

What do you think of The Prequel Trilogy? A general discussion.
Time

Fullmetaled said:

Can fan edits fix continuity errors with the original trilogy like Owen Lars fearing luke being just like his father, obi wan saying he took it upon himself to train anakin as a Jedi, dialog in empire that sounds like obi wan and yoda’s relationship was master and apprentice even though that wasn’t the case etc.

Those aren’t continuity errors in the Original Trilogy. They are continuity errors in the Prequel Trilogy.

<strong>Skeleton Crew</strong> (live action series) - a general discussion thread
Time

 
The trailer for this was just shown at Celebration 2023, but has not been officially released for everyone else to watch it.

Disney are doing its usual thing and taking down any videos online put up by fans on their phones at Celebration, but if you are quick you can still find some of them. It is almost as if Disney do not want any interested fans to watch the trailer for their own series.
 

'The show is set in the New Republic era, and will follow a group of kids lost in the galaxy trying to find their way home. It is described as a “Star Wars” version of some of Amblin’s coming-of-age films from the 1980s like “E.T.” and “The Goonies.”

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said director Jon Watts “really got the tone,” which is in the vein of the Amblin movies Kennedy produced for Steven Spielberg.’

A '<strong>Rumour and News</strong>' thread for reported new Star Wars films and tv series
Time

Given the number of other films and projects that get cancelled I don’t think I’ll be getting to excited about any of these making it to screen.

Good for Daisy Ridley to return to Star Wars, hopefully she won’t get the poison and sexist abuse she got the last time doing the Sequel Trilogy, that the film will happen, and will be a big hit.

<strong>The Mandalorian</strong> - a general discussion thread - * <em><strong>SPOILERS</strong></em> *
Time

Well today’s episode was, erm, different.

I thought the early Romeo & Juliet scenes were like a bad episode of Doctor Who, and the light almost comedic tone of the Jack Black & Lizzo cameos was not a great contrast for what was to come with Din and Bo’s story. They very much contrasted with the events at the end of the episode. Just my opinion, I love Christopher Lloyd, but I thought he was wasted in this role. But I did have a good laugh at the “Sir Grogu” bit.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - 9 Minutes of Gameplay | IGN First

The trailer looks good, as they all do. But the gamplay video left me a little cold. It seem very repetitive and similar to the 1st game, which is great if you enjoyed it, but looks to me as an expansion pack more than a new game that expands the story and adventure further.

I’ll wait to see some of the reviews and walkthrough videos a couple of months after release to see if this does surprise me and brings something new to the gameplay and series.
 

And I’m still hoping for that “open world” Star Wars game to happen! Has there been any solid news on that lately?

Three episodes to go of this largely forgettable season. I was really hoping for something “big” as the reason why the resolution of Grogu training with Luke and then going back to the Mandalorian was shown in the Boba Fett series, and not in this series, but no. Ugh.

It was good to see Zeb again, and I thought they did that part well. I also enjoyed seeing Carson Teva again, and his role in the episode, but found the rest a bit “run of the mill”.

<strong>The Bad Batch</strong> (animated series) - a general discussion thread - * <strong>SPOILERS</strong> *
Time

I had forgot there was two episodes to end this season. But it only took a few minutes to correct that after seeing the penultimate episode!

Two amazing episodes, expanding the story and events in the galaxy, and done so with the weight, tension, and emotion as Anchorhead posted above. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the two episodes, and left drained, yet fulfilled by the end.

Really hoping this gets renewed for a third season and beyond.
