Star Wars: Episode IX - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

[xipotec]

If you keep Ackbar practical, I do think it would look very off if he had the scenes Dern had. As great as the FX are, there are certain limitations with some characters. Other than a flapping mouth and moving eyes, I don't think Ackbar has a lot of articulation. And even if they went ahead and created a ultra expressive head, the audience is still gonna laugh at Poe arguing with a fish head. Make it CG, same problem, except now fans will rip it apart like they did CG Yoda.

But I agree with the poster earlier who said that the likely reason had more to do with creating distrust.

Maybe the Ackbar guy felt emboldened by all of JJ's not so subtle digs at KK and RJ at the Episode IX panel. And then he remembered the difference between a TV cartoon voice actor and the director of a $2 billion tentpole, lol.

lol

lulz so true

Oh I don't judge the guy for being a shill, it's just we have to be honest and call him what he is. He could at least have acknowledged that many fans agree with the guy - just as many fans don't - and moved on. Rather than just having a shill senior moment and awkwardly moving on.

I do love how while in the theater we cheer movie characters who stand up for themselves against the big bads of the world, even their employers, when someone does it in real life, he's a "*******" for doing it. I'm not sure we called Sally Field a ******* in "Norma Rae" (or any of the countless movies where characters take on their employers on grounds of fairness or transparency.) Ah, movies - such a force for change in the world.

Yup you don’t know lol

Disney didn’t pay millions of dollars for their hosts to trash their brand on live tv.

It might be a free country but you can still get your *** fired in that free country and why should the host follow that guy down that hole and lose his job just because that guy hates Holdo he doesn’t owe that guy anything.

If I was the host then right when Kane was done with his rant I'd say "and funny that you mention Holdo because please give a warm welcome to our next guest Golden Globe winner Laura Dern!" just to watch the guy **** himself, lol.

Holy crap

Wow LFL must be feeling good about things they already announced the next Celebration for next year in Anaheim.

Have they ever done two Celebrations in back to back years before?

Not that i’m aware of I think 2007 had a domestic/europe combo same year but that’s all I remember.

I guess they will announce the other set of trilogies that the GOT guys are working on and also Rian’s.

Maybe Cassian and Mandalorian Season 2?

Maybe a Rose series?

Maybe a 4K boxset of the entire saga and/or de-specialized OT?

Yeah, no on the two - they must be feeling pretty, pretty, pretty good... ST's big ending, Mando beginning...

If Mando turns out to be RO every week it'll be the convention gift that keeps on giving. People dressed in cardboard boxes cosplaying that IG robot pew-pew-pew!

Oh don't even man...can you imagine if Mando gives us RO quality SW every *week?*

Did someone say RO...?

 

[ArtDamage]

Both threads are talking about Mandalorian.

This pleases me.

Mandingolorian?

So in the pre-Disney canon the Empire was defeated at the Battle of Endor (or soon thereafter).

In the post-Disney canon it was defeated at the Battle of Jakku.

The ROTS teaser suggests we may return to Endor (or thereabouts). And to discover Rey's origins we'll need to return to Jakku.

Finn goes into a cave and calls upon all the Ewok ghosts to honor themselves by joining him in the fight.
