Watching the "Under the Helmet: the Legacy of Boba Fett" on Disney+ right now and it is fascinating. They show clips of a Marin County fair where Lucas put Darth Vader and Boba Fett in the parade...and this was months before the Holiday Special, so literally no one knew who this character was.

I'm also very proud to be the owner of a Star Wars card that I had Jeremy Bulloch sign for me back in the mid 90's.

Today will be a day long remembered. Disney+ Day.

To get it started, they dropped a 20 minute documentary, UNDER THE HELMET: THE LEGACY OF BOBA FETT.

Goes into how the character was created, and how a character with only 6 minutes of screen time turned into the phenomenon that he is. Very cool.


He had more than six minutes of screen time in the holiday special.

Oh man! They showed a clip of Obiwan kissing Beru with Lars spying in the background. Explains a lot.
wait what? Obiwan kissing Luke's aunt?

"Lars, I swear that wasn't Obi Wan! His name was, umm .... Ben! That's it, Ben!"

Star Wars related because its Lucasfilm and it stars your favorite Ewok, Warwick Davis.
Willow series on D+ in 2022

Ranger fans you're not dreaming! The Rangers are the World Series Champions!

He is kidding, and it's uncle Owen, unless the front man from Metallica is playing a gig in Mos espa.

Don't shoot the messenger...


EDIT TO POST:

Disney put out a press release about everything that's happening for D+ day. Nothing else is coming. Seems like a big ol' middle finger to SW fans

That's great. I couldn't be more excited about this.

No way they basically show NO footage of stuff today, right? That seems like an insane decision. Isn't this supposed to be something that generates hype for subscriptions?

I would so watch a Life is Short style show where the plot is this cast trying to film a Willow series.

This is incredibly awkward and cringe.

Very Life is Short.

Nothing else is coming today. Slight chance that there may be something shown at D23 next week, but that's mostly focused on the 50th Anniversary of Disney World. I wouldn't get my hopes up.

What a huge let down. I thought Disney+ Day was supposed to last all, you know… day? That was it? Was anything new announced at all in terms of Star Wars?

I'll be back at Galaxy's Edge on November 24, and will just start kicking down doors until someone squeals on where they're keeping the trailer.

I said it a page or two back...Almost everything Disney has done with Star Wars has been one giant clusterf-ck

I've somehow never been to Disneyland or Disney World, but I'm finally doing Disneyland November 22 & 23 with the family. Gonna try to do Galaxy's Edge, but no one else in my family watches Star Wars, not even my eight-year-old nephews, so who knows. They didn't last 20 minutes into A New Hope, but maybe GE will finally jump-start their interest.

2 thoughts of school: 1) basically lock them in place all the way through A New Hope, 2) start with Phantom Menace, kids like kids


edit: I just realized I screwed up that idiom...but I'm gonna leave it anyway

Spoken like a true fascist of the Empire. Good luck breaking down those doors!

If you ever wonder whether you were found in a basket floating in a river and raised by a new family, this is your proof.

Are you an Aggie?

Would you destroy a golden statue of a Longhorn?

Moses would have been considered "Too Close To The Source"!!!!!!

Highest-grossing domestic movie of all time

Universally lauded series with their first attempt at a live-action series

Massively popular new character that the entire world fell in love with

Reviving a beloved and mysterious character in his own series (Boba)

Finally making the long-rumored Obi-Wan project that people have been discussing for like 8 years now

I'm not in love with TROS, but your post is ridiculous.

And how many director firings, reshoots, series/film cancelations, and general bad pub?

Sure, and I agree. But you can't ignore the things they've done well.

Star Wars movie did numbers because it's star wars. They nailed it with THe Mandalorian. Everything else has been a mess.
