As it’s International Cat Day…
Quite enjoyed the new XI & XII seasons of Red Dwarf - a couple of clinkers - though overall it is quality stuff 😃
Hopefully there’ll be a season XIII soon…

‘Disney’s streaming service won’t have many of the recent Star Wars and Marvel movies’…

A saturated streaming market already (all adding up $/£-wise) - and without the main films I’ll likely be giving Disney’s forthcoming streaming service a miss.

^^ Certainly hope so mfm - the more diversity in and around Govt - the better understanding and awareness of issues and differing points of view. Hopefully with more representation of, and for, the people they represent - not just big business and/or lobbyists.

The Hundred Days Offensive - 8th August, 1918 (World War One)
‘The Hundred Days Offensive was the final period of the First World War, during which the Allies launched a series of offensives against the Central Powers on the Western Front from 8 August to 11 November 1918, beginning with the Battle of Amiens. The offensive essentially pushed the Germans out of France, forcing them to retreat beyond the Hindenburg Line, and was followed by an armistice. The term “Hundred Days Offensive” does not refer to a specific battle or unified strategy, but rather the rapid series of Allied victories starting with the Battle of Amiens.’

A couple of articles on Disney wanting to buy the TV rights back (seems they’ll have to pay a pretty penny for them)…

Can we have the Poll function first - and then vote using it to decide whether to implement the Ignore function? 😉
What Mala said.
I feel like the problems with this series are too fundamental to be saved with fanediting. Mainly its focus on Ezra, who is blander than the act of eating bread and lettuce while watching Solo: A Star Wars Story. Really, it’s a show I never asked for (I wanted a show about Han, Luke, Leia, obviously), but there are things to like in it, and I’d like to be able to enjoy them without all the other crap. It also provides closure for TCW, following its premature cancellation. Any ideas on how to reassemble this into something worth watching?
Anakin - you say there things to like in Rebels - yet don’t mention what they are…
‘I feel like the problems with this series are too fundamental to be saved with fanediting’ - yet then post ‘Any ideas on how to reassemble this into something worth watching?’
Why do you feel the show requires ‘salvaging’? Just Ezra? What is ‘all the other crap’?
What are your ideas? Other than to seemingly minimise the character of Ezra?
This is a thread on looking for input for a Fan Edit on Rebels, yes? (I imagine that’s why you’ve posted it in the SW Fan Edit section) - yet the OP reads as a lazy shitpost criticising the show.
Maybe re-tooling it with some more info from yourself - and making it something along the lines of a ‘Suggestions and ideas for possible Rebels Fan Edits’ may attract more of what you’re looking for - in trying to make Rebels a better / more enjoyable show?
SparkySywer has an intriguing idea in taking which plotlines (and content) worked for you and making a short Edit out of them - maybe there could be several depending on what you enjoyed/interested about it…
