Star Wars Anthology shit talk (Rogue One, Young Solo, TBD)

Okay, so now there's this

http://www.starwars.com/news/game-of-thrones-creators-david-benioff-and-d-b-weiss-to-write-and-produce-a-new-series-of-star-wars-films

What’s the point at which a commodity becomes so mass-produced the rate of return begins to fall?

xp
can a live action Star Wars series be far behind?

also, just got back from Target, where Lion King 1 1/2 blu ray was on sale

already in the works for Disney's streaming service xpost

less than shocking!

xp Just a few weeks ago, I was looking up The Lion King, assumed TLK 1 1/2 was some kind of home video rerelease of the original, but it turned out to be some half-baked spinoff. Was nonplussed.

TLK 1-1/2 is basically the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern version of the original w/Timon and Pumbaa as the main characters. It's funny, if inessential.

Gearing up on more fronts:

And when the quote is directly from Bob Iger...

"We are developing not just one, but a few Star Wars series specifically for the Disney direct-to-consumer app. We've mentioned that and we are close to being able to reveal at least one of the entities that is developing that for us. Because the deal isn't completely closed, we can't be specific about that," he said during an earnings call Tuesday. "I think you'll find the level of talent … on the television front will be rather significant as well."

which app is this, really, because the disney channel app is all kid stuff

I guess it’s a new tier between disney/abc/movie

(meaning they have an internal “release channel” concept that isn’t related to tv/movie streams directly)

I loves me some Star Wars but They’re gonna have to work some wit into these things bc I can’t imagine wanting to watch dour space operas for the rest of my life

"one of the entities"

i think this is related to the fox deal? like acquiring enough beloved properties across various demographics that they pull out from all other streaming platforms, confident that you will subscribe to their equiv of netflix or whatever.

Yeah they're pulling all their content from Netflix next year. It's a direct competitor

Almost nobody is around to remember when the Supreme Court forced the studios to divest from their theater chains. Or that Disney was part of the SIMPP that helped the decision along. We never learn anything

Meantime

ew indeed

Woody's character is called Tobias Beckett?! What a bizarre name for a Star Wars character.

I hope Chewie has a long hand to hand combat scene - just beating folks up left right and centre.

It seems to me an obvious but sadly unexploited gag to have a character in a SW movie with a totally normal present-day earth name that none of the other characters can pronounce.

'Hello, I'm Bill Jenkins.'
'I have no idea what you just said to me.'

O wait, Disney has just called, I will now be writing a Star War based on the strength of my previous post.

These days they're usually giving out trilogies to write, maybe that previous post could have been stronger

I'm on board with this factory-fresh Millennium Falcon. https://io9.gizmodo.com/this-is-our-best-look-yet-at-the-millennium-falcon-befo-1822865902

Last scene of SOLO? They land on Mos Eisley, head to the Cantina and neo-Han randomly bumps into a CGI Alec Guinness on the way "Oops sorry old man… " “Ah i may have a job for you…” FIN. Or something.

Chewie: "I have a bad feeling about this."

FIN

“Man I sure am tired of all these star wars.”

let's get the guy who made this redub the whole thing:

"we need something that evokes a false memory of 70s design - wow, these are great"

Would see Chewie as the free jazz type and Lando as electronic funk, tbh.

lol wow

holy shit that is shameless

I hope they get sued

I thought it was some weird tie-in at first. wow.

is it even known for sure that Disney didn't pay Sony, since they wouldn't necessarily have to inform the artist?

http://www.starwars.com/news/jon-favreau-to-executive-produce-write-live-action-star-wars-series

Lucasfilm is excited to announce that Emmy-nominated producer and actor Jon Favreau has signed on to executive produce and write a live-action Star Wars series for Disney’s new direct-to-consumer platform. Favreau is no stranger to the Star Wars galaxy having played roles in both the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series and in the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story.

“I couldn’t be more excited about Jon coming on board to produce and write for the new direct-to-consumer platform,” says Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. “Jon brings the perfect mix of producing and writing talent, combined with a fluency in the Star Wars universe. This series will allow Jon the chance to work with a diverse group of writers and directors and give Lucasfilm the opportunity to build a robust talent base.”

I can't keep track of all the Star Wars.

were we ever not in a Star War

Disney’s new direct-to-consumer platform

luv2have my disney #content served directly to me on a #consumer #platform

I hope it shows everyday galaxy life like going to the grocery store to get fried Banta or w/e they eat

"Dinner With the Fetts"

Nothing says Star Wars like "from the writer and director of CHEF"

Poorly-formed joek aside, dude has definitely made some money for Disney as a director. That shit'll get you pushed up the food chain.
