I assume an Obi Wan movie would be set between Episode 3 and Episode 4? So an entire movie of a bloke slowly getting older while he hides out in a desert.

Sounds amazing.

:lol: :lol:

It's the obvious time period to set it in I guess. Plus remember Bail Organa knows where he is. There's a good chance he's gotten in touch with him at some point. Maybe to let him know about some other Jedi that have survived. Could be about Vader hunting down the remaining Jedi and Obi Wan trying to save some of them.

And Obi wan is stranded on a planet only with his cunning to protect him.

It's going to be 3 hours of him learning that the high ground is important (unless you're hanging over a pit)

Just you wait.

Imagine the excitement at seeing him interact with the Sand People, learning how they scare easily but that they come back in greater numbers (in single file).

It the prequel's defence, Obi Wan knew from experience that you could surprise a cocky opponent from the low ground, because he did it to Maul. Thus he was 100% ready for it when Anakin tried it.

The Clone Wars cartoon is surprisingly awesome. Very dark at times.

The cartoon series was far better than any of the prequel movies. There was a 3 or 4 episode arc I remember where the Clones were fighting on some planet, it was incredibly dark and more harrowing than most actual war movies. :lol:

Was it the Umbara arc?



:wub:

Ahsoka's final arc was excellent as well, as was Fives' conspiracy arc there toward the end. I was sad to see them end the way they did. The parts I didn't so much care for were anything to do with Maul or the Nightsisters, the Padme-centric arcs and the handful of Jar Jar episodes.

The Clone Wars is largely excellent. :wub: Honestly wouldn't mind a series like that set between TPM and AotC. Heck they should have just done all the prequel story as a tv series. Would have worked much better. I need to catch up with Rebels though.

I'd quite like an Empire-centric series in the same vein set before RotS, going into Rebels territory. Maybe take the idea of a Clone whose inhibitor chip got removed/disabled, apply it to a Clone Commando squad (the Bad Batch, from the unfinished TCW episodes?), and get a very different view of the tumultuous period at the fall of the Republic and rise of the Empire.


Is Rebels as good as TCW?

It starts stronger then TCW (I think it took about half a season for TCW to really get going) but I've only really seen the first season of Rebels. It's entertaining enough and if you enjoyed TCW I'd give it a go. Might even have a few references back to it.

Colin Trevorrow is no longer directing Star Wars: Episode IX.

Lucasfilm and Disney announced the exit Tuesday.

"Lucasfilm and Colin Trevorrow have mutually chosen to part ways on Star Wars: Episode IX. Colin has been a wonderful collaborator throughout the development process but we have all come to the conclusion that our visions for the project differ. We wish Colin the best and will be sharing more information about the film soon," read a Lucasfilm statement.

Rumors of Trevorrow’s departure have dogged the project since early June, weeks before the opening of The Book of Henry, his thriller that was panned by critics and failed at the box office.

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that script issues have continued to be the continuing sore spot with Episode IX’s development with Trevorrow having had repeated stabs at multiple drafts. In August, Jack Thorne, the British scribe who wrote the upcoming Julia Roberts-Jacob Tremblay movie Wonder, was tapped to work on the script.

Sources say that the working relationship between Trevorrow and Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy became unmanageable. Kennedy, who had already been through one director firing/replacement on the Han Solo spin-off, was not eager for a sequel and tried to avoid this decision.

In June, Phil Lord and Chris Miller were fired from the Han Solo standalone with only a couple of weeks left of scheduled production. The two were later replaced by Ron Howard, who is finishing out production of the project in London now.

Trevorrow's departure now marks the fourth time directors have been replaced on a Star Wars project - Tony Gilroy took over from Gareth Edwards for massive reshoots on 2016's Rogue One. Josh Trank was taken off of a Star Wars anthology film after reports arose about the director's disturbing behavior on the set of Fox's Fantastic Four reboot. Like Trank, Trevorrow's exit at least occurs before the movie has started shooting.



Good.

This was inevitable after The Book of Henry, and a good thing in my mind. Treverrow is still a largely unknown quantity (with one good film, one average but successful film, and one of the worst films ever under his belt) and this film is the end of one of the most anticipated trilogies in movie history. It needs a steady hand.
