The Mandalorian (Star Wars Live Action Series)

Didn't Sideshow have a 1/6th Baby Jabba figurine that came with some figure long ago?

Yep.

It was from The Clone Wars animated movie...

 

[TaliBane]

I tried to find that little Jabba spud back then but couldn't. Looking at it now, thank god I didn't.

 

[The Buffinator]

It was inevitable.

Fans grow up loving the fan-fiction and EU sometimes more than the source material. Anyway, nothing stays pure... watch what's going to happen to the MCU over the next 20 years.

As long as Feige doesn't have the Russo brothers rework the Phase 1-3 blu-ray releases to digitally replace ScarJo with Florence Pugh, I'm good with whatever comes next.

 

[Shatterer of Dreams]

I'd like to see Disney Princess Zombies.

Haha, I suppose you could make it like Alan Moore's porn graphic novel Lost Girls, but replace all the sex with carnage.

Well, Disney just threw Europe a cookie of sorts.

On Tuesday, Disney announced that the streaming service will be coming to the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, and Switzerland on March 24. Other European markets, including Belgium, Portugal and the Nordics, will get the service in summer 2020.

Originally, Disney+ was scheduled to launch on March 31 in Europe, so this is a pleasant surprise for those eagerly awaiting to watch recent releases like Star Wars spinoff The Mandalorian, as well as other shows, including High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, The World According to Jeff Goldblum. There's also the live action version of Lady and the Tramp in there, alongside Disney's heaving back catalogue of classics, their strange sequels, shorts, and weird Disney Channel originals.

The Disney+ ?Star Wars? spinoff ?The Mandalorian? returned to the No. 1 spot on not only Parrot Analytics? digital originals rankings the week ended Jan. 18, but also the data firm?s overall list of TV series from any platform, including broadcast and cable, again pushing the Netflix fantasy series ?The Witcher? to No. 2.
........................
?Mandalorian? was No. 1 most of the last couple of months of 2019 before ?The Witcher? took over the last week of the year. ?The Mandalorian? took the top spot back the first week of 2020, but was displaced again by ?The Witcher? the second week of the year.

For the week, ?The Mandalorian? registered 98.7 million average daily Demand Expressions, the proprietary metric used by Parrot Analytics to measure global demand for TV content. That was down 14.8% in expressions compared with the previous week, when it was No. 2.

?The Witcher? was close behind, with 96.3 million expressions, down 18.6% from the previous week.

So Disney was probably working the IT folks overtime to start vacuuming those *foreign* dollars. After the TROS thing in China and all.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yep.

I wonder if that version of Anakin has any value now?

Kenobi production moved until *next year* after they've decided to completely rewrite the entire season. Here we go once again on the smooth "KK Express," lol.

It's unbelievable !! They already started on the movie then it got canned. Now converted to TV and again canned.

Seems to be part of KKs standard operating procedure.

Bob must be counting down the days....

Troubled production isn't a good sign. Favreau had a story written before submitting for approval and it worked. Too many cooks trying to make the soup and it falls apart.

 

[darth dennis]

Jeesh, that is frustrating. I'm no writer, but I would think that you could almost throw a pen at a piece of paper with the material available for a Kenobi series in the timeframe they're indicating and create a winner.

 

[Khev]

Especially if these are going to be 30-40 minute episodes like Mando with long periods of no talking while he's alone in the desert. Sheesh how hard can it be.

Wow. Kind've a bummer with actor and director like Chow on board. Maybe it's tough to come up with a storyline e.g. Mando has a specific goal/arcs - struggle for survival, save baby, dodge Moff Gideon.

Obi-wan off the top of my head is wide open - guess he settles on Tattooine, sort of keeps an eye on Luke - I guess he could go off Tattooine and help folks being crushed by the Empire - that's different than Mando's arc. More a Jedi being a Jedi. Plus they could have him run into Sith etc.

They should just research the better fan fics, pick one, pay whoever wrote it, and polish it up and run with it. 90% of that is *&^%$ but some of the fans have some skill and are studying writing anyway. Except there's probably some rule where screenwriters hafta belong to a union etc.

Yeah, I think that's the MCU difference - Feige interviews the directors to see what they wanna do. Like Russos presented TWS and so on, like Waititi with Ragnarok. I guess there the writers are already on board, or the director like Whedon is also writing the script.

Bet Chow finds this annoying as in Mando she was provided with scripts.

 

[Khev]

I've got to imagine that one episode will be based off of Yojimbo/Fistful of Dollars similar to how Mando aped Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven. Personally I would have swapped those two stories for the respective characters though I do guess the "armor hidden under the cloak" gag would make more sense for Kenobi.

LOL many problems for Disney, Mando success has caused.

On the other hand - IMO it could be a good time to delay another SW project for Disney +, which by fall in theory will have both the MCU series, more films, and Mando to pad things out.

Bingo.

 

[Khev]

So between Kenobi now not coming out until 2022 and John Derp Walker they might as well just rename the service Mandalorian+.

Negativity is bumming me out! There's gonna be WandaVision too.

Failure is not an option for Disney at this point - Amazon and others have their own projects upcoming.

Ewan McGregor has confirmed to IGN that, despite the Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series being put on hold, its not-currently-public release date has not been changed.
McGregor spoke to IGN at a Birds of Prey media event, pointing out that these kinds of production delays are fairly common, but it shouldn't impact when fans around the galaxy will see the Obi-Wan Kenobi series debut on Disney+ (although we're not sure exactly when that was supposed to be).
"It’s just slid to next year, that’s all. The scripts were really good. I think now that Episode IX came out and everyone at Lucasfilm's got more time to spend on the writing, they felt like they wanted more time to spend on the writing." McGregor said. "I’ve read about eighty, ninety percent of what they’ve written so far, and it’s really, really good. Instead of shooting this August, they just want to start shooting in January, that's all. Nothing more dramatic than that. It often happens in projects, they just wanted to push it to next year. It will have the same release date, I don’t think it will affect the release date. They're still shooting towards having the film [show] release when it was going to be originally."

"I?ve read about eighty, ninety percent of what they?ve written so far, and it?s really, really good. "

Err... Ewan, they're looking for a new writer to start again, so you might want to curb your enthusiasm for the stuff KK just put in the trash.
