Why does Disney get TV Star Wars spot on but seems to fail dramatically with cinematic Star Wars?
That looks fucking awesome & my love for Ming Na Wen grows even stronger.

Dave Filoni.

Even he has some weird ideas though, it's just easier to get away with in cartoons and on the small screen.

Natasha Liu Bordizzo has been cast as Sabine Wren in the Ashoka series.

Getting the inquisitors then, shame they have those spinney lightsabres, they were shit in rebels.

Looks great.

Looks good but I am getting a bit sick of the desert shit now. Star Wars needs some more locations.

Maybe a snow covered planet, an ocean world or a Forest moon?

Mandalorian - desert, rusty bars and stormtroopers. 

 

Boba Fett - desert, rusty bars and stormtroopers.

 

Obi Wan...

It's kind of inevitable with Obi Wan and Boba Fett shows, the problem they have is they decided to make Jakku a desert planet  as well which highlights the problem.

 

Hopefully the Inquisitor parts will be more varied and based in more diverse locations.

 

Like to see a proper Junker planet like the start of Fallen Order.

To play Devil's Advocate for a second, when they do go to a different planet like the Monaco rip-off in Last Jedi they get criticised for it not being Star Warsy enough. It's stuck in such a rigid place due to fan expectations and fear of a backlash.

Wasn't the complaint about Canto Bight the story and set pieces rather than location (and a lot of it, unfairly, based around Kelly Marie Tran).

 

Very few complaints are made about Takodana, Endor, Coruscant even Exegol.

Yep, The Last Jedi was criticised for being a cinematic turd. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

They need to do a full on Sith series. Jib the heroes for a while and delve into the dark side.

It might not have worked but the Last Jedi was the best film of the three sequels purely because it tried to break away from the really small pool of influence in the massive galaxy.

Agreed as a standalone film, but it didn't fit in with the overall trilogy arc of episodes 7-9.  All of the set ups from The Force Awakens were pissed on or discarded.

There was no trilogy arc though, one of the biggest issues was that the story for the three films wasn't written broadly in advance but was instead treated like a relay with each director picking at the threads of the previous film from scratch.

 

In reality what happened was that JJ Abrahams made a scene for scene remake of a New Hope.

 

Rhian Johnson came along and said this doesn't always have to be about the Skywalkers, you can be nobody and still do great things, lets expand the universe.

 

JJ Abrahams came along and said expanding is bad, Rey has to be related to someone we know and people liked Palpatine let's bring him back.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Johnson fucked the trilogy right up by making a very good non Star Wars film. And Abrams just fucked it up. Disney should have gone with the Duel of The Fates and kept Abrams away from it.

Corascant would be interesting explore.

Definitely, some cityscapes would be good.

Red Letter Media did a good hatchet job on the Last Jedi which was totally spot on, as in the plot was moved forward by character mistakes - like a comedy film - rather than conflict. For example, didn't their plan get rumbled because they left their ship parked on a double yellow line on the beach or something?

 

It's like the Empire finding Hoth because Han Solo farted too loud.

Oh hello young man.

Disney can make it happen

Best use of Ewoks. Ever.
