Cartoons?

Clone Wars cgi cartoons are trash

Didn't say they weren't but they did give some many hours of new Star Wars in a small amount of time.

Besides, we don't know if Mando is trash yet.

Star Wars live action series has never been done before.

I have a feeling I will like the Mando, hate the villains... so the show will be "breakeven" for me.

Have you watched much of them? Genuinely curious. Thought the same and they definitely started out trash, but hit a pretty good stride about halfway through. Some goofy eps in there for sure, but some solid ones too surprisingly.

Damn really!? Pretty excited to see what kinda of star wars character Giancarlo Esposito pulls off. He's flanked by death troopers so he's off to a good start

Same here. He is one of my favorite actors.

I?m going back in time and I will find young Wor-Gar crying in his bedroom due to lack of new SW and i?m going to tell your young self that in the future as an adult you will get 11 hours worth of new live action SW that costs 120 million to make within a 5 week window during the holidays but you grew out of SW and now hate it including the OT then I will leave you be lol

I loved the original CW mini cartoons from GT but once that plastic cgi show started I was less than thrilled and when Darth Maul was resurrected I was really out.

I would say half of the Clone Wars show is terrible, but there's some really good stuff here and there.

Yeah those were great for sure. I remember watching them live and being bummed every week that they were so short.

I wasn't exactly thrilled about the darth maul resurrection either, but it wasn't as terrible as I thought it'd be. Mostly, it brings to the table an Anakin that turns out was actually Obi-Wan's good friend at some point (something we never saw in the films ) and a little more humanity added to the Clone Troopers. Ahsoka was also developed pretty well later on, as a character that seemed pretty superfluous at the start.

Wait so 11 hours worth of NEW SW within a 5 week period is not making history, when was that ever done before.

Any history-making by Star Wars was done 40 years ago when it was new and groundbreaking. Today Star Wars is neither new nor groundbreaking and the past 20 years has seen its reputation take some serious pummeling. There's also the mere fact that with Disney buying it up and announcing a tonne of Star Wars projects it immediately ceased to be 'that special thing' for a lot people because now they can take for granted that there'll be something new every year whereas back in the day there was only the OT for the longest time. Star Wars had more magic when it was just the OT and our imaginations of further adventures.

Today we can afford to be quite blase about it. Yeah I'm sure some of the new stuff is bound to be good but the advance excitement isn't there now for a host of reasons.

I hope Dark Fate has a 100 million opening weekend and Cameron announces a sequel on Monday lol

Okay. So we?re talking about 2 different things here; qualitative vs. quantitative.

It?s never been done before now due to the particulars of media, entertainment and production landscapes.

But the same changes in the aforementioned landscapes that enable it, render it a relatively generic product unless the strange alchemy that turns products into cultural gold strikes again.

All of that being said with the understanding that the alchemy we?re talking about is ever more difficult to achieve because of the very landscape that enables these products.

1. This was not possible before.

2. Now that we can do it, this is not as special as it was.

There?s a lot of room for nuance in between the particulars of the above 2 points, but at this time I believe the basics hold.

And I will respond with: SHOOT HIM! Before he mutates back into human form!




Jye, when you heard that Lucas was doing an Indiana Jones series did you pee your pants with excitement that it had never been done before...? Only to receive the Young Indiana Snor-icles.

TOD is boring / TLC is lazy / KOTCS is embarrassing

Ahhhh... but Raiders. The perfect adventure movie.

Still hasn't been beat. Which is surprising.

LOLOLOL ? don?t get me wrong. It?s all entertainment and I?ll enjoy it, but IMO the OT is history and I haven?t seen ? nor do I expect to ? see its like for some time.

Closest since was MCU up to Endgame and GoT for television, although the latter failed to stick the landing.


(Much like MCU Hulk.)

Blame all the ***t Star Wars we've had over the last 20 years.

But look, here's this video I found that made me smile.



I'm slightly intrigued by the Obi-wan show because it might actually fill in some backstory to the OT that I assumed the prequels would but never did.

 

[jye4ever]

Damn from a theatrical movie to a tv show what a damn shame.

He?s the only great thing that came out of the PT.

My man does not age sheesh.
