This sounds good. The Mandalorian, played by that fella from Game of Thrones and Narcos. A gunslinger on the outer rim after the fall of the empire in return of the Jedi. Being written by John Favrau for Disney's own streaming service.

Probably going to be exclusive to Disney’s forthcoming streaming service though.

By all accounts, that’s going to be an excellent service. I’m really looking forward to seeing what content they can come up with.

Yep, although now that Netflix has cancelled Daredevil I might bin that off and give this a shot instead.

I'm not so sure about it. The main push seems to be Marvel, Star Wars and remakes / reboots of existing Disney franchises. The production values should be good, but the fact they won't make R-rated content and want to maintain the image of a family service makes me worry it'll be very middle of the road.

When was that announced, I was reading the other day that Charlie Cox was coming back for another installement.

I think you might be right, be interesting to see how Netflix reinvent themselves as their recent success has been mainly down to Marvel.

Maybe he's gonna be in the punisher series 2.

Could potentially hold licence for Miramax films made up until they sold it off.  Also Studio Ghibli.

Yeah, their back catalogue could be decent, but I'm still not convinced. Maybe I'm not the target market, as I prefer the darker Netflix shows, but thus far the Disney service is sounding like it'll be original PG content for families for the most part. I mean, is there really a huge hunger for a Three Men and a Baby remake?

Yeah we're still due punisher series 2, and Jessica Jones series 3.

Then I imagine they'll get cancelled shortly afterwards too. 

 

 

Like it's been mentioned Disney is unlikely to put these on to their streaming service, but once Disney takes over fox they'll own the fx network and majority of hulu, so there's potential for the series to be put on to one of them.

That's good to know, might have to look at changing to Disney once it's up and running.

Disney say their service is going to be quite a lot cheaper than Netflix. That said, they’re putting a lot of money into it, and I expect some high quality stuff.

I already subscribe to Disney’s streaming service, Disney Life. It’s like £5.99 per month. Readily available from all the App stores etc.

 

It’ll be a lot better when it has all the Marvel shows on it, it’s mostly kids stuff at the moment like Doc McStuffins and shite.

I wonder if that's why Netflix are cancelling all the marvel stuff because Disney are gonna make it instead? A lot of it is x rated though so not sure how that would work.

[Sugar Ape]

I subscribe to Disney life as well and I reckon Disney will keep that separate from the new app as it’s mainly kids stuff or maybe a tiered subscription and it’ll be extra to get that content. 

 

As for stuff like Daredevil, once Disney complete their purchase of 20th century fox they’ll own a majority stake in Hulu which I expect will be rolled out over here.

First official character/reference photos for Episode 9 have leaked.

 

Lando wearing a cape.

What did people think of Solo? 

 

I’ve tried to sit through it three times, but each time had to turn it off because I found it a bit shit.

I quite enjoyed it at times, didn’t really add anything to the ‘universe’ but was better than I thought it would be.

 

Had some issues in places with it but overall I think it would have done better if they released it later.

 

It was fun in places. Not sure I’d watch it again though any time soon. 

[Anny Road]

Apart from the obvious prequels this was the 1st star wars film i thought was crap.

Thought is was okay, not terrible or great. Reminded me of an episode of Firefly 

[Ian Sea]

I enjoyed Solo, far better than The Last Jedi. And The Force Awakens for that matter. 

[Tony Moanero]

I considered watching this but thought, nah, a Han Solo film without Harrison Ford is pointless.

It’s worth a watch. The young fella does a good job.
