    But is it fine enough to take the entire family to the theater pay full price for tickets and popcorn on the opening weekend when you can just wait for it on Disney Plus?

    It is my opinion that Lucas and others are wrong about Star Wars being for kids. You can categorize movies for 3 audiences: kid friendly, family friendly and grownup friendly. Of the 3 only family friendly has something that will appeal to all audiences. With the other two categorizes only the named audience will enjoy their experience. Traditionally Star Wars has been family friendly. Later sequels and prequels introduced extended sequences that were specifically kid friendly. I guess you could call this Fan Service for Children. We usually see it in the form of cute and funny creatures and droids getting into cartoonish situations. This trailer is showing a lot of that.

    Boba's character assassination was result of I think them not wanting lead characters to be bad. Children are watching. We can't have him a crime lord doing criminal activity.

    That's what I'm saying. They're really pushing towards the more insipid parts of season 3. First 2 seasons were more for the entire family. Disney might be spending more money on CGI characters and special effects but I'm in this trailer I'm not seeing any cinematic cinematography. Whole trailer is just giving me vibes of a made for TV movie.

    Sorry to say but that doesn't look very good. This is supposed to be a movie for the big screen. Why does all the production value look like it straight from Disney Plus? Movies are meant to be cinematic in appearance. This isn't that. Half the trailer is baby Yoda doing cute things. This tells me the target audience for this movie is really young. Why spend money at the theater for the whole family on what looks like a normal episode of the show?

    Actor Terence Stamp, who starred as Superman villain General Zod, dies aged 87

    Ditto. Cavil is bad casting physically wise. Connor was the underdog. Look at Cavil he looks like he could take care of himself.

    Nothing against the cast or the concept but it looks very fake. Like nobody is at a real location. The academy setting should have the same benefit the DS9 originally had - a stationary location. You can save money because you don't have to build a new set each week for the new planet you visit. Don't even have to spend money building entirely from scratch. Just rent out an old school or office building with conference rooms and just redress it.

    Just got my Rattler shipping notification from FedEx. Still says shipping pending on Pulse. I'll be skipping the Snow Cat.

    As long the public respond to it like they did with Rogue One and Andor. Not what like they did with Solo. In my opinion Solo wasn't that bad. I even kind of liked it. The downhill spiral started with Rian Johnson's Last Jedi. He had successes both before and after Star Wars. He has proven himself when doing his own thing and should have been given a stand-alone movie first and not one the sequels. Let Filoni watch over the current continuity that sells toys. Invite other directors to pitch their ideas for side stories. If they got a good idea approve it. Maybe keep the budget under a one hundred million so one bomb doesn't put a stop to everything.

    Fan Works means by actual human fans.

    I've got problem with them having post sequels and even sequels in the first place. Star Wars in its original form was a fairytale. As we know fairytales end with "and they lived happily ever after." They vanquished the evil wizard in the original trilogy. Which should have been brought peace to the kingdom, but they undid everything to make the sequels. It is what they'll do again to make the post sequels. Nothing will end. Every final victory against the dark side in a trilogy is basically meaningless because it will all be undone for the next trilogy.

    (Repost this here. Couldn't find this thread earlier) It was mentioned a few years ago that IOI the makers of Hitman were going to do a James Bond game. I was wondering about its status after the franchise was sold to Amazon. Looks like the game is still going forward. I found their Hitman games to be very fun with the sneaking around or walking around wearing disguises in exotic locations trying to get to your target to very Bond like. Can't wait to play this game.

    I don't want them to bring anyone back. Dedra was one of the main characters. What we saw of her in Andor were the most significant events of her life. Narratively her story has been told. There is no good reason to bring her back. You could justify bringing back one of the supporting characters, but do we really want that? If any of these characters are to be revisited, I want those involved with Andor guiding the project. Did you see Kleya made an appearance in Ahsoka season 2? I had no idea how bad that character and her actress was until Filoni got his paws on her. I think they might have ruined Andor for me.

    Unless the timeline has been changed there are 3 years between Episodes IV & V. Then a 1/2 year between V & VI. You could cover the 2nd Death Star, show how they captured the Imperial Shuttle, killed those Bothans, the move from Yavin to Hoth. They covered the years leading up to Yavin and a few years after Endor. The movies only covered the big battles. You still tell stories about smaller skirmishes in the war. I'm 100% sure all of it has been covered in some novel or comic book, but live action Star Wars is the most interesting when the good guys are the underdogs.
