Check the source on that "Cosmic Book News" story. If it's a Lucasfilm project with any kind of a strong female presence, whether in front of or behind the camera (in this case both), rest assured that Doomcock will be there to sow his seeds of bullsh*t.

The Acolyte is either done filming or almost done filming. A trailer for it premiered at Celebration. Millions upon millions have already been spent.

It's not cancelled.

Is anyone reputable reporting the cancelation? That tweet seems like an attention grab.

Everyone in Star Wars is a pansexual. Just look at the cantina and casino scenes. Some freaky **** goes down at closing time.

Seeing reports on twitter over the last couple of days that casting is ongoing for The Acolyte, while at the same time seeing that it has been cancelled.

So...which is it?






Is Ensign Euros a man or woman?

So we had a professional photographer come to our house a few weeks ago (who we've known personally and used for years) to take some big family photos since we hadn't had any with grandparents in a long time…….and well, we had a little extra time once we were done…..

Galaxy's Edge custom lightsabers are pretty photogenic….

I would love to sit and just pick Kennedy's brain. And Favreau and Filoni. Just pump some truth serum into them and chat.

Like... do they view connectivity as being a positive? Essential? What does their market research show?

I'm not even sure I know if it's perceived as good or not by fans. Is it just something they be as required to sell things to the shareholders? Is it a Disney edict?

I think everyone is pretty much in agreement that the movies should be in the same continuity, but honestly I feel like Star Wars fans would prefer one offs and not sequels/trilogies/etc.

I don't think I'd like one-offs. Star Wars has always been about big storytelling, and most one-offs would seem like cheap cash grabs comparatively.

Beyond the obvious quality differences, Rogue One vs Solo is a good comparison. You'd think the popularity of these two would be flipped, since Rogue One is a movie with characters no one knows anything about and Solo is the origin story of one of the most beloved characters in all of Star Wars, but that's not the case. Rogue One was connected to the OT as a prequel of sorts. It was a fleshing out and continuation of the story, and while it could stand alone as a one-off, it played into the wider narrative. Solo was kind of connected to the OT in that it had Han and Chewie, but story-wise it didn't really do much other than make cheap attempts at fan service. Nothing in it was really original or told us anything we didn't already know. If anything, a lot went against Han's OT character.

I think Disney and Kathleen Kennedy couldn't help but make more movies like Solo and fewer like Rogue One because they're always more focused on the cheap tricks and tie ins instead of actual narrative. I think even Filoni and Favreau would have issues with it, too. It's why I really don't want to see a Mandalorian tie in movie with Ahsoka et al. It will inevitably feel cheesy.

Don't forget that a lot of SW fans read 20+ years of books all connecting one long ass story from Heir to the Empire to Legacy of the Force. It's kind of what many expect.

Rogue One was absolutely a one-off, though. Even moreso than Solo.

R1 is simultaneously considered a one-off and is also a literal, direct prequel.

Impressive.

Rogue One is underrated. It's in my top 3 Star Wars movies, easy. On any given day I may even have it at 2.

Haven't seen this one here. Maybe it's earlier in the thread.

This Friday I'm going on the Chandrila Starline Halcyon for a weekend cruise to the outer rim planet of Batuu. Just putting the final touches on my cruising attire as a mechanic working for the resistance.
