George Lucas was the one who did "subversive politically charged art films" first with ANH. Star Wars is an is an art film which ironically became a worldwide blockbuster.

TurdFurgunsonsHat maybe, just maybe, you never understand Star Wars at all.

How did you get your internet privileges back? Have you escaped the facility?

So in your opinion Star wars is not an political art film?
Dude i think you're the one who escaped the facility, Lucas literally revolutionized the film market with ANH.

TLJ is already standing the test of time, we are talking right now about it.

Dude the one who regressed Luke was JJ, the one who made Luke to be exiled was JJ, the one who kill the jedi academy was JJ. RJ is responsible for TLJ, not the TFA, learn to differentiate things.

 

[Ramatuelle]

Of course SW is political!

The difference here is that Filoni and Favreau went OUT. OF. THEIR. WAY. to 1. make compelling new characters that we already love this short of a time in and 2. MOST IMPORTANTLY, They rescue characters that were done wrong and restore their former lustre. See Boba Fett, see Luke Skywalker.

TLJ is already standing the test of time, we are talking right now about it.

Dude. I can buy a copy of "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" right now, today so I guess that has "stood the test of time," as in its a film that still exists. Revered, no I dont think so.

I would say AotKT is actually a better film than TLJ. I wasn't outraged, I just regretted the violent wastage of so many good tomatoes. Don't wantonly smash them, let's make pasta dishes! Whereas TLJ still makes me nauseous.

Dude RJ rebuild the legend of Luke and gave meaning on why he self exile after Kylo went rogue.
The Mando Luke shows exactly how the status of legend change Luke after ROTJ, he is all formal just like a prequel Jedi, which explain how Palpatine was able to trick Luke and lure Kylo under his wing.

Each movie was supossed to be leaded by one of the OT trio: Han in TFA, Luke in TLJ and Leia in episode 9(by the Trevorrow script).

Coronavirus? Dude we are talking about art, if it survives the proof of time, than it means its good, there is a lot of movies that take time for people to realize their worth, for example: Paul Verhoeven movies.


.

It did nothing for me to rebuild the legend of Luke but this is art and art is subjective. I don't like getting involved in PT vs OT vs ST debates and I don't hate the ST. However, saying RJ is as good as Filoni is just ludicrous.

I’ll always say Episode 7, Jurassic World, and Creed were all basically “safe” intros back into the franchises and the overall views with them are all tied to all of their sequels. I’d ever say they’re looked down a little less favorably because of their sequels, which is kind of unfair.

From what I can tell among fans, Cobra Kai may be the best “sequel” that continues a franchise. That show really knows how to walk the fine line of keeping their characters true while continuing to move forward and keep fans happy.

And the way I know it’s successful…? There’s not dozens of videos on YouTube telling me why it’s good. You just watch and know that it is. Unanimously.

Cobra Kai is done pretty well. I've heard good things about the new Ghostbusters movie now too...we'll see

A thumbs up for the reference to Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

Although as a vegan the genocide of innocent fruit (yes, I went there) appalls me.

I’m getting good vibes from that movie just because of the people involved. I think they know the story is main key here and there’s no need to arbitrarily focus on subverting expectations just to try to be too clever.

If he wants to make subversive politically charged art films on his own that have a limited audience that is his business. If he makes a Star Wars movie that is something else. The only reason he got to do that is Kathleen the ***** Kennedy. Just looking at Johnson's smug round face makes me want to break his nose.

LMFAO! It's those tiny glasses on his even tinier face on that massive head.

 

[Johnny Utah]

He really really ****** the saga up didn't he? All those behind those awful films did.

That's what I was thinking, but I guess my edit was too subtle.

 

[Malgus]

So, what do we all think of the rumours that the sequel trilogy's most irrelevant and annoying ''main'' character Finn might be getting his own Disney+ show?

I hope this rumor turns out to be true. More Disney star wars shows the better for me. I love having these things that justify my Disney +subscription. Hopefully lots of imperials are in it.

Actually, you're talking about the restricted Filoni in Mando season 1, he was actually under Favreau's command to learn about live action production while the show was being made, but Filoni is a storyteller that would make TLJ Luke just like RJ did within the possibilities that JJ left open.

Filoni doesn't give a damn about the fans' reception over his ideas, if he thinks it's right for the story he does the thing, because for him what matters is to expand the Star Wars mythology, always adding new concepts and character development to further improve this universe. For example: he retcon Ahsoka book and Kanan book in Clone Wars s7 and Bad Batch on pure whim to fit his ideas.
Just compare how things changed in storytelling from season 1 to season 2 (which is clearly more Filoni than Favreau).

Filone(the right sucessor of George Lucas) is the guy who add time travel, expanded midclorians concepts, Space Whales who can travel through hyperspace and mystic creatures all from the legends canon into Star Wars main canon, in terms of creative storytelling he is equal to RJ, they both wanted to discuss and criticize the actual role of the Jedi within the force. The Filone Luke would fight the exact same way that Crait Luke did in TLJ, Mando Luke is the explanation for the why TLJ Luke exist, but to understand that you need to THINK and see under the layers of the cool scenes.

About your "rescue and restore characters that were done wrong":

Luke is pure aesthetics who fights with his laser sword and say "i am" to the question "are you a jedi?", is it awesome? yes i cried, but it is to show how much of a prequel jedi he had become to foreshadow his fall in the ST (Just like Yoda in the PT in comparisson to his OT self).

Boba has a little bit of character development from his post ROTJ, bringing back its development to the audience who didn't remember his backstory from the PT\CW, but its just a tease for his own show, even the script of this episode was tiny, Robert Rodriguez had to improvise to fill the time.

About the "stood the test of time", do you really not understand what I mean by that? Its not about physical availability, but subjective quality over time, there are a bunch of movies that is misunderstood in the time of release that takes time for the people to realize what the movie was really about, and this is what "stood the test of time" means.

Ok...so still no discussions on figures from these new shows, just ST justification/bashing. Let me try to re-spark: How many different versions of Fett do you think we'll get in action figure form from season one? I assume we'll see some sort of flash back to ESB and maybe pre-ESB pre-pro, Immediate ROTJ sarlacc aftermath, which could be a ROTJ Fett with moderate damage. Does he stick with his re-armored look throughout the current timeline of Book Of Season one? If what Rodriguez said is true, that this will blow our minds, what will HT do? Could be Mando all over again... Yikes! ps. I dislike the ST but respect folks like JackOllie's passion for them. Peace!

Thanks Darth Dennis, I think we've all voiced our opinion of the ST, and as can be seen no one wins.

Book of Boba could be such a mixed bag. Cameo's of other Bounty Hunters, an appearance by Cad Bane ?? Many are thinking the appearance with him vs Fennec Shand in Bad Batch wasn't done for no reason at all....

This show could go for 2-3 seasons imo. There is so much they could do. Introduce Bounty Hunter wars. Qi'ra and Crimson Dawn ??

I think they've got enough stuff for at least as long as the Mando.

But as far as HT figures, you'd think they'll have to reach some sort of threshold with Boba figures. Sure they'll probably have one version per season (like Mando), but I hope they branch out into the additional characters, rather than just Boba. A Cad Bane and some Bounty Hunters and a Qi'ra for Han on the shelf would what I'd be hoping for !!

Cad Bane would be an instant purchase for me! I'm in the camp of being pretty happy with the SS ESB bounty hunters so I wouldn't necessarily go for HT versions of those. I think you're right that there has to be some sort of Fett threshold figure-wise, although I've not gotten there yet!

Now compare that quote to Robert Rodriguez’s for the Book of Boba Fett and tell me who you have more confidence in to deliver.

Yeah I remember when the SS Bounty Hunters came out. I wasn't as into collecting as I am now, so couldn't justify the price back then. But when I think about it I have picked up IG-88 and Bossk in the meantime I guess

At least Mando 3 has been pushed back a bit so HT can concentrate on Book of Boba in December. Then Andor, then Kenobi, then Bad Batch 2, then Mando 3, then Ahsoka, then........

That all sounds great, but if/when the Slave 1 is brought up in diologue it better not be referred to as anything else...
