Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

Yea, Ahsoka was like a 5. It was half watchable slop. FAT thrawn was a disaster. Jesus christ get the man some 300 training if you're gdamn set to keep him live action. That still makes it way better than most of the other trash they put out. I'm fine with him making stuff, but I definitely don't think he should be the one in charge of things.

best character in Ahsoka fucking died IRL

Ahsoka has some interesting concepts that I didn't mind exploring. Oh fuck it. Mary Elizabeth Winstead's ass was the highlight of that show. I also really liked that old dancer chick's sword fighting. I was sad that they killed her off when everything else was so bland and forgettable. There was a kung fu movie back in the 70s by the shaw brothers. It was called Mortal Combat on channel 5, but it had another name. Deadly something. That movie was about a vicious gang who went from village to village, raping and pillaging and just cutting off limbs and blinding any men who tried to stop them. eventually all those crippled men joined up and formed a squad to stop this gang. Dude had his legs cut off got iron legs. Dude who got his arms cut off got iron arms and they would gut punch gang members and wonderful gore happened.

This needs to be adapted for star wars. Make it PG 13 or R rated. Put some badass music on there like the Matrix. Then just have a sweet star wars revenge movie. That's all it needs to be. An all out battle Royale with light saber and actual ha in d to hand combat with some force powers thrown in. No mary sues. Just men figuring shit out.

Bitch ain't going anywhere. Y'all got punked again.

KATHLEEN KENNEDY: The truth is, and I want to just say loud and clear, I am not retiring. I will never retire from movies. I will die making movies. That is the first thing that’s important to say. I am not retiring. What’s happening at Lucasfilm is I have been talking for quite some time with both Bob and Alan about what eventual succession might look like. We have an amazing bench of people here, and we have every intention of making an announcement months or a year down the road. We are in lockstep as to what that’s going to be, and I am continuing. I’m producing Mandalorian the movie right now, and I’m also producing Sean Levy’s movie, which is after that. So I’m continuing to stay at Lucasfilm and looking very thoughtfully with Bob and Alan as to who’s stepping in. So that is all underway, and we have every right to make that announcement when we want to make it.

DEADLINE: That you are looking within seems to give credence to what we’ve heard, that an exec like chief creative officer Dave Filoni is in a good position, as he works on a Star Wars to write and direct.

KENNEDY: I can’t say who it is, because there’s just an internal process that goes on inside a large corporation and a publicly held company, as to how we go about making deals, finalizing decisions, and making announcements. There’s nothing unusual about that, and we’re in that process.

also AI Arnold Star Wars, would be better than whatever Disney puts out next lol

Touche.

If they had took 6 billion dollars and literally set it on fire they could of boiled enough water to generate steam and probably made a few hundred thousand dollars in electricity generation.

Nevermind just earning interest on thst money.

Instead they just vaporized 6 billion into the ether with no return at all, destroyed multiple brands and drove the value of the brand to zero

Bullshit.

In a new interview though, Rick McCallum, who was George Lucas’ producer at the time, shared some new details about the long-lost (but never forgotten) project. One of the biggest is that McCallum actually tried to budget out what the show could cost and the lowest he ever got it to was $40 million per episode. Forty million times 60 episodes equals $2.4 billion. No wonder no one wanted to make it. But, it sounds great. Here’s McCallum thanks to the Young Indy Chronicles podcast.

“And these were dark. They were sexy, they were violent, they were just absolutely wonderful. Wonderful, complicated, challenging. I mean, it would have blown up the whole Star Wars universe and Disney definitely would have never offered George to buy it [laughs]. But it’s one of the great disappointments of our life. But the problem was each episode was bigger than the films, so the lowest I could get it down to with the technology that existed then was about 40 million an episode.”

HBO stole his concept for another of his shows early on (per George Lucas). He had just pitched a Star Wars show to HBO and gave them detailed information on the story telling, which included story perspective characters in normal daily life discussing the fall of the empire. Guards, shopkeepers, et al were all detailed in the pitch to tell their stories from their perspective.

HBO said that sounds good but not with Star Wars, then went on to greenlight Rome instead.

Underworld looked pretty cool though.



I'll take that Coruscant over what Disney came up with. The mature themes and R rated vibe was refreshing coming off of the prequels.
