I can't remember, was Boba in Rebels at all? Or was there essentially nothing in Cannon other than OT and now Mandalorian?

Edit: Nevermind. Remembered Boba, Boy Wonder space pirate.
I think it might've only been Clone Wars instead of Rebels


Maybe so. Time frame would match up better.

He gets it.
If you were a superfan who was also an actor, it seems like that would be the hardest part- just playing a character having a limited interaction with a known character in the universe without wanting to engage the character based on all the knowledge of them.

Logically no one on Tattooine should know who Obi-Wan is, even Owen and Beru. he's just middle aged guy in brown robe.

Reminds me of Ewan McGregor talking about ruining takes in TPM because he was inadvertently making lightsaber noises

This is a cool and interesting watch. Short doc about the kid who was almost cast as Anakin over Jake Lloyd.

I think you see him a good bit in the TPM documentary from that original DVD, and Lucas even commenting that he was the better professional but he thought Jake Lloyd's innocence was better.

That was really well done, thanks for sharing it BES

Honestly I've seen that documentary a bunch of times and always think he would've been better.

Especially in this one when he says "I won't always be". You can feel the darkness simmering below the surface.

But knowing how things turned out, it might have ended up being a blessing in disguise for him.

A very interesting what if.

I agree, although I have to temper that with knowing that JL was mostly panned in his role, although how much of that was due to the infancy of Internet hate, who knows. I feel like there are at least a couple of scenes where he stumbles on his lines and I really hate Lucas for not reshooting the take. It makes him look worse than he is. His best stuff seemed like it was with Liam Neeson, which was probably no coinicidence. But they didn't really learn from that mistake much, and shoved Portman and Hayden into all those scenes together in AOTC where having an older actor could have been a really steadying presence.

I always like the deleted scenes at Padme's house on Naboo where Anakin talks to her father and she talks to her mom and sister, those are scenes that move the story without the 2 of them being so isolated with nothing but R2 and special effects around them.

So in the Kenobi trailer on Friday, will we see footage of Clone Wars era Anakin and Obi Wan? In such a flashback is there a chance we get Clone Wars Ashoka and/or Rex/Cody?

If we get a trailer at all, I doubt we get much footage so early out. A trailer is only rumored at this point, and my guess is it's more of a release date announcement teaser kind of thing. I could be wrong, though…

I expect a brief trailer with announcement dates and maybe a single glimpse of Ewan McGregor in costume, maybe igniting his lightsaber....

Rumor has it an Ob-Wan trailer hits on Friday. Disney+ day is the 12th and that seems to be the event behind it and the next tidbit. Lots of smoke coming out of Lucasfilm about multiple projects/reveals between now and 11/19, which would have been D23 Expo (rescheduled to 2022 due to COVID).

Well, so much for working on Friday.

I have never done less work than on days when Star Wars news comes out.

In 2012, the day they announced Disney had bought the rights, I called my best friend who was a teacher at the time, and we talked about it for 30 minutes - he let his kids go out to recess and I just stopped working in my cubicle and told people I was on a business call.

I hope we get this and then it just fades to the title screen with the release date.

Wow.

That said, I had a feeling this was going to happen, considering WW84 bombed and we haven't heard a peep about this project since.

Goodness. I actually forgot about this movie. That's a damn shame though.

That property is fairly special in the Star Wars nerd universe. I wonder if someone else gets tapped?

WW84 so bad that it killed this project? Damn, WW84 must have really sucked.

It wasn't quite Batman & Robin bad, but it was a steaming pile of doodoo nonetheless.

Disappointed if that's the reason for killing this Star Wars project.

What works you rather have?

1. Live action remakes of some of the best Clone Wars arcs with Ewan, Hayden, Rosario, etc.

Or

2. An animated remake of ROTS with the full voice cast and the latest upgrade to animation as seen in The Bad Batch?

Sounds like it still might happen, but who knows.

From Star Wars News Net
Quote:

Lucasfilm has officially postponed the start of production on their Star Wars spin-off Rogue Squadron, which was initially planned to make a December 22, 2023 release date. Patty Jenkins remains in the director's chair.


Per The Hollywood Reporter, director Patty Jenkins's existing schedule of projects has been cited as the main reason for the production delay. This likely indicates that Jenkins's existing commitments to DC Films with the third Wonder Woman movie (which she will direct) and an Amazons spin-off (which she will write) are taking priority over Rogue Squadron, and as such, the film will be further away as a result. Initially, the goal was to have a script penned by Matthew Robinson ready to go and pre-production to begin at the end of this year, with filming beginning in 2022, but that's no longer a feasible plan. Currently, the film has been removed from Lucasfilm's official schedule, with Jenkins expected to return when she is available.

Cop out...Neither.

They've both been done so would rather see new material.

This is all sounds like a graceful way of moving on from her, for whatever reasons, creative or otherwise. Rogue Squadron was announced with her as director, well before the third WW movie was announced, it had a hard release date, etc. She even filmed a special announcement for it on a tarmac, talking about how much pilots mean to her, seeing as her father was one. And now, nearly a year later, DC suddenly takes priority? My guess is this project either never happens, or they eventually find another director. Either way, I'm betting it's not the next SW film now. I seriously doubt they have another SW film ready to fill that December '23 spot, but who knows, maybe that's part of the surprise announcements on Friday.

Yea I agree TCTTS, I wager they fully move on from her. That announcement/media spot was all sorts of fanfare.

Eh, I could write 5,000 words about my feelings about the sequel trilogy, RO, Solo, the extra season of Clone Wars, Mando 1 & 2, Rebels, Bad Batch, and the rest but I feel that it wouldn't be offering anything i haven't already said a billion times before, with the full realization that my opinion is the polar opposite of many people here, which leads to the re-emergence of never-ending arguments on what sucked, what didn't, who would have done a better job, and on and on.

I can't defend Star Wars vs. the world. I was dumb for ever trying to, and it got me in bitter arguments with posters here who I really like as people and have a lot of respect for. Just a bunch of wasted time by me. The fun parts of this board are where I need to say, and not think that anyone dissing something I like is an open invitation for me to pretend to be the Jedi Archives and go point by point over everything I have to say.

I've had to learn the hard way that being quiet about something that gets posted does not mean I agree with it, or that it's presented as fact, just means it's someone else's opinion, and it's better for me to leave well enough alone if I don't have anything positive to add to the conversation

I would suspect that recent events have sobered me up a little to how much I should involve myself in every single part of a message board. Having one particular psychopath decide it's his mission to attempt to ruin my online and real life while unleashing the fury of TexAgs' moral majority that I should in fact be burning in hell right now has tempered my emotions a little on how important my opinion actually is in the context of this board and how vital it is that I share it repeatedly.

Hope there's an Obi-Wan trailer Friday.
