So far the only change that really irritates me about the movie is gender-swapping Doctor Kynes. I suspect it was done to increase the female presence, but that could have easily been fixed by including the Fremen widow (Harath I think is her name) that is placed under Paul’s care.
Yeah, but she doesn’t really do much that I can remember.

Nice film titles, though 😃
They’re all just from Wikipedia!
I dunno, I liked Padme’s dad

Star Wars 5: Jar Jar’s Great Adventure
Star Wars 6: The Creeping FearAlso, why do I get the uneasy sense that these titles are connected to each other. The “creeping fear” being that Jar Jar is really the mastermind behind all this.
In case it wasn’t clear, I made up essentially none of those titles

I would love this. I was disappointed (though understanding) when Ady cancelled his Prequels:Revisited plans, and similarly when Aalenfae’s prequel edits fell apart due to computer failure, which were something like what you’re envisioning. I think it’s been talked about before around here as well, particularly as regards using alternate takes of scenes, in the faint hope that alternate takes might suck less; I have my doubts.
Of course, it’ll never happen.
as well as seeing the Rebel Alliance slowly start to form.
I know I have a tendency to insufferably bang on about the series sometimes, but surely we already have Star Wars Rebels for this? It’s not quite the comprehensive guide as it focuses on one cell - Phoenix Squadron - through to the Alliance’s formation, leaving room for other stories, but at the same time I’d guess Andor won’t try to focus so much on the same aspect.
There’s some amount of market fragmentation (or whatever the right term is) to consider here. My wife has never watched an animated Star Wars show, but we’ll almost certainly watch this.
No, I think Mac’s right. Something important in the iconic visuals is lost in this new version of the shot. Sometimes the visual is more important.
Robert Rodriguez said:
Wait until you see what’s coming. It’s going to blow your mind. That’s all I can say. I can talk it up all I want, because I know it over-delivers. It way over-delivers. People are going to be so pumped when they see it.
This may be true, but surely this is also how he talks about every project?
I’m in favour of the inclusion of the Imperial March. This project has often called itself ‘what the special editions should have been’. They’ve never been particularly purist; they’ve been about bringing up the originals to a lovely, more modern standard. Vader in ANH was a lesser villain, yes, but his character was more striking than Lucas anticipated on ANH’s release, so much so that the saga from that point grew around him. Whether or not Lucas/Williams paired Vader with the Imperial March on his first appearance, the two are now paired. It’s entirely appropriate that a project that seeks to polish the original trilogy pair the two in ANH retroactively.
My thoughts exactly.
This explanation really is spot-on.
That’s a big set!
The process of Rosario evolving into Ahsoka are gone by steps:
- Rosario puts her hair up and puts the wig cap on but her ponytail is not covered.
- The artists apply white latex under Rosario’s eyes.
- The artists then put the white dome to cover Rosario’s ponytail.
- Brian then applies the rubbery piece onto her eyebrows and hair strands.
- Rosario’s face and neck are then painted orange.
- The buds are then placed into her ears.
- The artists place the plastic mask onto Rosario’s face so that the white tatoos can be airbrushed.
- The plastic mask is removed and the headpiece is then placed onto Rosario’s head.
- Her arms, hands, and back were then painted orange.
- Rosario then puts on the blue contact lenses and her evolution is finished.
Here’s the process of How Rosario becomes Tano. I’m not sure if I’m accurate, but Rosario can tell us the REAL process of how she becomes Ahsoka Tano.
Yeah we all saw your post the first time.
Okay I’ve just thought of something, but Obi-wan says his pupil was called Darth Vader. As in that was his first and last name, a normal name. Not some dumbass evil moniker like every other dumbass red saber swinging goof in the universe.
Yeah, that is why he calls him “Darth” during the duel
So…Big Three back on the table?
No way they’ll get Harrison Ford to even come close to the franchise ever again.
Surely TROS demonstrated he’ll do anything for a big enough paycheck?
After Rodriguez’s episode of Mando, I’m not enthusiastic about him, but…we’ll see.
Between that and Bib Fortuna saying maklunkey, they’re definitely poking fun at Lucas’s alterations.
I can’t defend the Dark Trooper Dubstep, but…
I watched a little interview with Göransson and he talked about the music not being traditional Star Wars, but that the trumpet fanfare in Mando’s theme being the one part that’s a tribute to William’s scores. Fair enough. However, the end of this episode took a much more traditional, orchestral turn. Of course, the end of the episode also featured a Jedi Knight cutting down Imperial troops, talking about the Force, etc.
I actually don’t think they’ll have Luke play a big role in any of the shows after this. Like maybe a cameo, maybe, but they’d be smart to not use him much at all.
The wiggles in the lines from styrene carving and glued-on greeblies pointed out in the video suggest a more traditional model-making method then the 3d-printed Razorcrest
I do agree, I was struck by “that is probably a model” when it first did that slow ANH-style flyover
Why sell it to you on disc when they can get subscription fees forever?
Am I wrong in thinking that most of the troopers we saw were probably Rogue One costumes?
Indeed, there were a lot of shore troopers at the Imperial facility. It’s not the first time the series recycles props, though. Multiple extras from TFA, Rogue One and Solo have made reappearances.
I actually think its quite neat that they’re reusing costumes for the movies. Not only is it nice seeing familiar uniforms, aliens, etc. but it’s fun to see that even a big show like The Mandalorian resorts to recycling props and costumes. Like Hal 9000 said earlier, there’s a certain charm to these simple and old school moviemaking shortcuts.
Agreed, and except for the part where they were “Shore Troopers” in a jungle, it makes the universe seem more consistent. Having a new kind of trooper for no real reason (looking at you, Rogue One) just feels silly.

Thought the seismic charge was a little fan-servicey, but not overtly so.
I’m always curious about comments like these. What do you define as fan service? It was used logically and organically in the situation, so why would it be “fan service”?
That’s fair. I think there were probably other ways to take out the TIEs, but instead they had him use something from AOTC that many fans agree was super cool. But 🤷🏻♂️
