Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon — a two-part movie event — begins this December

This is Snyder's rejected Star Wars movie pitch reskinned, right?
Yep. What I just posted in the trailer thread...
Quote:
Snyder originally pitched the story to Lucasfilm as an R-rated Star Wars spinoff. Basically, Seven Samurai set in the Star Wars universe. When that fell through, though, he refashioned it into an original property, told across two movies.
On one hand, I'll always applaud studios for taking a chance on original sci-fi, and this may very well end up being good, but yeah, right now it really does look like a paint-by-numbers sci-fi space epic. Part Star Wars, part Chronicles of Riddick, part Foundation, part Jupiter Ascending, part first 15 minutes of Man of Steel. It just reeks of Netflix's generic, carbon copy vibe.

Is it fair to say that Princess Issa is the true child of prophecy to bring balance to the force in his original cut?
At first blush, I have no problems with this.TCTTS said:

Netflix movies are generally meh at best so high chance it's garbage

I saw a part Witcher too
I've started on Shadow of the Sith, a filler novel set prior to TFA that deals with the Sith Eternal and some of the foundations of the First Order. Also the Sith Eternal's search for Rey. I've avoided it for a long time because these movie-related books tend to stink and all Luke-related book content also tends towards being terrible. But I'm a completionist.
So far, pretty good. Luke as a Master is well written though the first 10 chapters or so. And the guy reading it does a PHENOMENAL Lando, which helps.
Lor San Tekka plays prominently. The planet Tython makes an appearance. No way will it redeem the sins of TROS, but I'm usually impressed by how the authors can find nuggets to expand and make a good story.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
One of the funniest and most entertaining reaction channels on YouTube. Just saw he reacted to A New Hope. Haven't even watched this yet but I'm sure it's gonna be great.
Pretty interesting thing from the official site, it's reclassified all properties on this Eras page.
https://www.starwars.com/eras
Three of the newly purposed and contain no titles, but you wouldn't give something a name if you weren't planning on populating it.
The eras are:
Dawn of the Jedi: Currently blank, but we assume James Mangold's movie about the first Jedi will be here.
The Old Republic: The official description is - "The Republic is founded among the worlds of the Galactic Core, and the Jedi Order emerges to protect it. A schism within the Jedi leads to the creation of the Sith in this epic era." And me and every KOTOR fan's heart just skipped a beat that maybe we'll get our legendary story into a movie or series at some point.
The High Republic: Under the protection of the Jedi Knights and the wise rule of the Senate, the Republic grows into a golden age. The vast Outer Rim beckons the intrepid seeking to discover new worlds and spread the optimism of the Republic.
Fall Of The Jedi: A long forgotten menace returns as a Sith lord orchestrates a devastating conflict, plunging the galaxy into full scale war with the Jedi Knights at the frontlines.
Reign of the Empire: Through treachery and deception, the Galactic Empire rules unchallenged and grows in military might. A scant few Jedi survivors retreat into the shadows as they are hunted down mercilessly.
Age of Rebellion: Outnumbered, the Rebellion spreads across the galaxy. Rebel heroes fan the flickering light of hope in a heroic stand against the evil Galactic Empire.
The New Republic: The Empire has been defeated, and the emergent New Republic faces the great challenge of rebuilding and reuniting the galaxy. It is a tentative and fragile peace, threatened by the remnants of the Empire.
Mando, BOBF, and Ahsoka are the titles listed here.
Rise Of The First Order: In secret, the legacy of the Empire transforms into the First Order and strikes a devastating blow against the New Republic. A fledgling Resistance and new generation of heroes are left to stand against a resurrected enemy.
New Jedi Order: Totally blank for now, presumably Rey's movie goes here. Suggests that there will be multiple properties - film, animated, live-action with a lot of Jedi beyond Rey in them. Seems somewhat lazy they just ripped off the name of a long-time book series that was then wiped out from Canon to Legends in order to re-use it here, but whatever.

Hey remember when Rise of Skywalker had a scene where Chewbacca dies and then less than two minutes later they reveal that he’s alive again with triumphant fanfare

Seems odd to have two eras on both sides of the conflict named "Order". Like the First Order morphed into the Jedi Order.
Heavy rumor of a delightful cameo in the High Republic show The Acolyte is out there which makes wonderful sense when you look at the cast list.

Kathleen Kennedy on the return of sequel trilogy characters:
— Star Wars Holocron (@sw_holocron) August 27, 2023
“Those are not characters we’re going to forget. They will live on.”
Adam Driver on whether he would return to Star Wars:
“I’m totally not against it.”

I still think a teenage Ben Solo shows up in this Mando / Ahsoka / probably Thrawn cross over movie at some point.
Meant to post on Ahsoka thread.
"Somehow Ben Solo returned"
