Which is the sheer arrogance of all this force fed "woke" in mass entertainment like Star Wars.
OH BOY I CANNOT WAIT to see how this disappoints “fans” like every new SW series
Personally I'd argue TCW did damage already, so I've given up on character consistency. But there's a difference between toning something down a notch, and potentially breaking the narrative. We'll see. Still, even they have to be smart enough to know that you can't mess with Vader that much. He's the face of the brand, period. Even Fallen Order didn't go that far. They just had that ex-Jedi Master of the MC use enough Force to make Vader kneel for a second. Which is still pretty stupid, but what can you do.Up till now Obi-Wan hiding on Tatooine made perfect sense because it was the one place in the galaxy Vader/the Empire would never go. Up till now. His failure is even more complete than it was before!
(The panel above makes more sense; Vader didn't return to Tatooine until he found out about Luke.)
I didn't really mind them ruining Boba cos he was always a fringe character (albeit massively popular), but when you start messing with the central elements of the saga...
They're throwing casual f-bombs in Star Trek now? Jesus.
One of the most eye-rolling aspects of new Star Trek.They're throwing casual f-bombs in Star Trek now? Jesus.
I remember when the JJ flicks were the most insulting things to Trekkies, with their more base, action-y approach. And now, well... We should always remember.One of the most eye-rolling aspects of new Star Trek.
Say what you will about the PT but it’s always been a gold mine for memes and I hope the Obi Wan series at least continues that tradition.
Disney is Boba and fans are the speeder bike, you enjoy your ride.OH BOY I CANNOT WAIT to see how this disappoints “fans” like every new SW series
Smoke that corporate joint bro. Counting all that money will make you feel better.Ewan states he is now super happy that the PT are loved by the kids who grew up with them because they were made for them.
He said it would’ve obviously been better had the OT adults accepted the PT but it didn’t work out that way so it was difficult for all the actors.
Please understand. Disney is a small, billion dollar studio. They're doing the best they can.Jason might've seen BoBF and was like F that lol
He might not have wanted to put on prosthetics either. Not sure what roles he is doing lately, but I know Cumberbatch was asked if he would play Thrawn and was told he would need his face to be blue. He immediately shut down the chance of doing anything with all that crap on his face. Lucasfilm is loaded, why not use CGI?
I really don't like Cumberbatch for Thrawn. Thrawn is very cold and calculating and needs a minimal, but strong performance. I think Mikkelson is coming back anyway.Can't they just use Lars Mikkelsen for Thrawn, just like in Rebels?
Although I do feel like Cumberbatch's head shape fits him better. Someone like Fassbender suits the older, Chadier versions of Thrawn more.
I don't buy it. Kathy purged whatever irrelevant material there was to pave the way forward. Hence why they have OT characters in Ep 7-9, covered the Death Star in Rogue One, ruined Han further in Solo, made a new Mando that really was Boba, destroyed Boba so you can accept Mando fully and now the Kathy Death Laser is on Obi-Wan. Cannot wait for the Qui-Gon show cause he isn't ruined yet. Oh and all these Rebels characters get shows cause yeah, whatever.Some recent rumours say that Disney's pllaning an "Heir" movie with Thrawn and Mara Jade. But what's the point? We all know how it all ends... Unless maybe Mara had a son with Luke, and we'll get a fixed Post-ST SW with Luke's son or something. It could be cool.
Kathleen cannot draw from any material cause there isn't any to draw from. True quote btw. It is best for the company to destroy the OT characters so that they can pave the way for their hollow and ultimately irrelevant new characters. World building starts with Tatooine and they'll go from there. She finally got some sucker to make a High Republic video game.Please understand. Disney is a small, billion dollar studio. They're doing the best they can.
