Shame John Williams probably isn't well enough to make it to the opening.


Weird convergence... John Williams and William Daniels (George Feeny, KITT) are both going to pass in the near future, and I'm going to be in mourning for a long time.

Wait, Feeny was the voice of KITT?

I'll be.

For sure... crazy thing that I learned just last week - Daniels is now 99 and has the longest active Hollywood marriage at 75 years. He is married to Bonnie Bartlett (St Elsewhere, "the Dean" on Boy Meets World, Little House on the Prairie).

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Edit: My bad, I assumed you were talking about Anthony Daniels since this is the Star Wars thread and got very confused lol

One of my favorite roles of his was as Judge Harold Bedford in Blind Date. So, so good.

This is both incredible and terrifying….

I'm envisioning a world now where everyone is walking around with these things even more constantly plugged in than we are now….

Looks awful. And I wouldn't trust any device that Zuckerberg had a hand in. This looks like the product of every terrifying sci-fi, futuristic mind control movie ever made.

Theaters are groaning at this. Why even go?

I don't doubt this might be cool at home, but we are becoming The Matrix. I would never wear any of this crap in public because it's creepy.

Having said that, I am intrigued by the Meta glasses they are advertising for the blind because my mom has macular degeneration and it could possibly be a good use case for her.

I refused to go to see 3D movies after a couple of attempts during that crap trend. Thankfully, that died because everyone else agreed with me.

However, this leap frogs that IMO. Why even go to the theater if you get that kind of display right in front of you? It looks like in the commercial they are suggesting some kind of hybrid viewing experience at the theater with these? Still don't see the point.

Did we learn nothing from the plot of Batman Forever? Other than the fact that Nicole Kidman is infinitely hotter with her hair straight?

That's just the ambient image you would see around the main "screen". It allows you to feel like you're in an actual theater. People won't be going to the theater with these on. lol

Ah, well. I misinterpreted commercial then.

TBF, we put those stupid damn 3D goggles on for a bit. These at least look better than those.

That's done so well enough you could easily sit next to someone listening to that and think it's a real song without paying too close attention to the lyrics…

Jon Watts, the director of...

- Spider-Man: Homecoming
- Spider-Man: Far From Home
- Spider-Man: No Way Home
- Star Wars: Skeleton Crew

... is now set to direct Star Wars: Episode X, the first installment of the Simon Kinberg pinned-and-produced trilogy. No release date has been announced, but I imagine this will now be a 2028 or (most likely) 2029 release. Disney already has blockbusters set for May 2028 (the Untitled X-Men Project and Lilo & Stitch 2) and December 2028 (Black Panther III) - the only two months a live-action Star Wars movie has ever released - but they currently have May 25, 2029 reserved for an "Untitled Walt Disney Studios Project," and I'd bet just about anything that will be this. Unless, of course, they release it during a non-traditional month in 2028...

I don't have much faith that Simon Kinberg can write and produce a good Star Wars movie. A look through his filmography will show you a lot of slop. He's been involved in some really good ones as a producer but none of those were his own stories.

In my opinion it's just as likely that this movie is more slop that kills off whatever good feelings about the franchise that Starfighter restores than it is that this will be good film.

Until they're actually filming the movie, there is zero reason to think there is going to be an Episode 10.

Quote:
Every time Lucasfilm announces another STAR WARS movie, the immediate reaction is basically: "Cool. Let me know when cameras start rolling."

And they've earned that skepticism.

But Simon Kinberg and Jon Watts actually feels like one of the safer bets they've made in a while. Kinberg has had some very notable misses, including getting two cracks at Dark Phoenix, but he's also been around STAR WARS for years, co-created REBELS with Dave Filoni, and clearly understands how to develop big franchise ideas. Watts, meanwhile, directed three massively successful SPIDER-MAN movies and already has a relationship with Lucasfilm through SKELETON CREW.

Neither of these guys feels like they're coming in to radically reinvent STAR WARS. They're audience-friendly filmmakers. And maybe that's exactly what Lucasfilm needs right now.

The question is what audience they're actually trying to reach.

ANDOR proved there's still an older STAR WARS audience willing to show up for something more challenging. But STAR WARS also desperately needs new characters, a new adventure, and ideally a trilogy with an actual beginning, middle and end that lets audiences spend years growing attached to those characters.

Kinberg and Watts could absolutely deliver that.

I just need Lucasfilm to actually make the damn movies this time.

I ghostwrote a book for a former longtime Disney employee last year. We talked about SW about 300 times during the process and were planning on briefly meeting along with his wife and my daughter at SW Celebration 2027 next April.

Then the debacle with the tickets happened over the summer and we didn't get any.

Today, the client reached out and offered me 2 tickets to a session of Celebration as a thank you for help with the book.

The Dadolorian and Lady Grogu are headed to LA in April.
