Voice_of_Reason Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I really love the show. Partly because I really just love the Rebels crew, and also Ahsoka. There has been a lot of conversation about Thrawn not looking right. I completely agree. He was not only a super mastermind, he also was a ridiculously dangerous individual warrior. He trained by fighting dark troopers for heaven's sake. I was all for them casting Lars Mikkelson as Thrawn just for the voice, because the voice was the most important part. And if you close your eyes when Thrawn is on screen, it's the same voice, the same character. I kindof wish they had done something extremely unique: Had another actor play Thrawn but have Lars voice him. So, yeah, it would be lip syncing. But Lars doesn't (and probably can't) look like Thrawn. Star Wars does this with helmeted characters all the time, Vader, Mando, etc. They should have done it with a live action character to get the look right. That's my biggest glaring issue with the show. I'm very interested to see who gets off the world. Because, we see NONE of these characters in the sequel trilogy. Is the convenient way to keep them out of the way just to keep them stuck out in a galaxy farther farther away? We know there's no Thrawn in the First Order. Does he get stuck also? Do they all get stuck, and then they find their way back after the Rise of Skywalker ending, conveniently missing the entire next chapter of the story? Is Thrawn somehow part of Snoke's rise to power? We'll see. We know the republic falls and the first order rises. We can see the first order is massively incompetent. But where are all the Felloniverse characters? Having them get stuck in another galaxy is a very convenient way to keep their stories going but out of the main trilogy. Though, for some reason, I keep thinking Baylan's quest is going to lead to the rise of Snoke. I'm probably wrong there, but ... maybe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) What a finale. Also... Spoiler MORTIS GODS! Or that's what I assume the carved mountain faces were. Kind of cool to bring that into Baylans storyline. Also..forgot to mention the other Mortis god connection, the Morai (the bird) that Ahsoka saw.

kfrankie Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 So what's the deal with the future of the franchise here? And I'm not talking about the cartoons and TV series, I'm talking about the movies. And I'm not talking about what Jabba the Hut's secretary did 15 years before ROTJ, I'm talking about main characters. And I'm not talking about Bru or Uncle Owen, I'm talking about Luke's ancestors. Is Kylo Ren still alive, didn't catch the last movie. So Han Solo's kid I assume made a turn to the light side, maybe there's some material to work with there.

China Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Decades-Old Beer Ads Stitched Straight Into Original Star Wars Movies Go Viral A controversial advertising campaign that cut Chilean beer commercials into key scenes from the original Star Wars trilogy has surfaced online, going viral some 20 years after they were first broadcast. “Around 2003 in Chile, when the original trilogy of Star Wars began airing on television there, they did this funny thing to avoid cutting to commercial breaks,” wrote X user Windy in a post accompanying one of the clips, below. “They stitched the commercials into the films themselves. Here is one of them, with the English dub added in.” 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fine with that and pushing new characters and new time periods. The worst thing Star Wars has done the last decade is just cram legacy characters like Anakin, Luke, Vader, etc into everything and give us stories like Kenobi that have no reason to exist or significantly detract from the existing material. This has ruined Mandalorian as his show is taken over by “hey look remember this character!” the two things that actually tried to be something different or do unique things with the story and characters, TLJ and Andor, are far and away the best thing SW has done in decades 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never found out who the mom was, maybe that’s the big reveal in episode 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 Speaking of new material, the Acolyte is scheduled for mid-2024. They're starting to investigate more of the High Republic era--with Jedi Survivor (awesome game, BTW) touching on it and now the Acolyte set 100 years before Phantom Menace "in the final days of the High Republic." It has an interesting cast, including Dafnee Keene, who was X-23 in Logan. I'm hoping, with Disney releasing R-Rated Deadpool and TV-MA Echo and Daredevil, they'll take this darker.

The Evil Genius Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Anyone watch the 6 or so animated episodes of Tales of the Empire on Disney+? They are all 15mins or so long and pretty well done. Gives Morgan Elsbeth some back story and also focuses on Bariss Offee. Very short watch but I found it very entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
