Is Dave Filoni Making a Fan-Service MISTAKE? #starwars #ahsoka Is Star Wars animation better than live-action? Depending on who you ask, the animated series are some of the strongest projects under the Lucasfilm banner. For years, it was the only consistent product — aside from video games and novels — that Lucasfilm was putting out. George Lucas’ prequel films got a lot of flack for prioritizing lore and advancing technology over creating a strong story. After the era came to a close with Revenge of the Sith, it fell to animated series like Star Wars: The Clone Wars to bring color and context to the new world. The Clone Wars ushered in a very different kind of Star Wars story. With the animated series, Lucasfilm could take their time, plan their stories right, and introduce characters that would eventually become fan favorites. Lucasfilm exec Dave Filoni — now best known for his work on The Mandalorian and the forthcoming Ahsoka series — helped guide animation out of its role as “the fixer.” Before long, shows like Star Wars: Rebels were able to stand on their own. Now, they’re calling the shots in live-action. Until Filoni’s yet-untitled Mando-verse film hits theaters in the future, Ahsoka may just represent the culmination of his efforts in the Star Wars galaxy. It’s clearly a labor of love for Filoni: he wrote all of Ahsoka’s eight episodes alone, and the series will shepherd his most beloved animated characters into live-action for the first time. Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla, and Ezra Bridger will all appear in the new series, as will Rebels villain Grand Admiral Thrawn. Ahsoka will also pick up the threads that Rebels left behind in its cliffhanger of a series finale, which has some fans warily referring to Ahsoka as the long-awaited continuation of the animated show. According to the series’ cast and crew, no one is trying to turn Ahsoka into Rebels Season 5. Still, it’s not such an easy thing to believe when so much evidence points to the contrary. Filoni has a clear passion for the animated characters he helped create, and as he transitions into a new medium, he obviously wants to bring them along for the ride. But folding them into live-action without compromising their legacy is a delicate balance, one I’m not sure Lucasfilm is able to achieve.

The Galactic Starcruiser CANCELLED and FAILED | Indiana Jones Terrible Reaction

The Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser is CLOSING in September! DISNEY IS FAILING! #STARWARS #disney Disney's Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser will take its final voyage this fall. Walt Disney World announced today that it will be closing its ambitious, role-playing, cruise-like Star Wars experience, after just over a year of operation. Star Wars Galatic Starcruiser's final voyage will board September 28, concluding on September 30. Disney will be contacting passengers booked on the Halycon after that date to arrange an earlier booking, if available and desired. To accommodate those guests, Disney is pausing booking on the Starcruiser until May 26. Set aboard the Halycon - a Chandrilla Star Lines vessel that Disney's backstory said was the honeymoon destination for Leia Organa and Han Solo - Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser was much more than the "Star Wars hotel" that went viral when Disney first announced its plans. A two-night, cruise-like experience, Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser invites guests to become characters in the Star Wars universe, interacting with cast members playing Halycon aboard the "ship." A "port call" to Batuu - the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge land in nearby Disney's Hollywood Studios - was included with the all-inclusive Starcruiser experience. Russell Meyer detailed the entire Galactic Starcruiser experience during its February 2022 press preview in several articles and videos that we have posted at themeparkinsider.com/starcruiser.

Dave Filoni's Star Wars Movie Title has LEAKED | Heir to the Empire #starwars #davefiloni The title for Dave Filoni's Star Wars movie set during the Mandalorian era has reportedly leaked, and it will be "Heir to the Empire". What does this mean? How much of Timothy Zahn's original story will he use? Is this just a push to try to fake the fandom to support his movie? Let's get into it.

The Force IS Female | Major Star Wars and Entertainment News

Media DEMANDS More Fat People in Star Wars | Reverse Fat-Shaming #starwars #themandalorian Monita Mohan, columnist for the Huffpost, writes, “plus-size characters, when present at all, have typically been portrayed in the franchise as grotesque and slovenly aliens. Hollywood has an aversion to fat characters - on screen, they’re typically punchlines, nonexistent or, worse yet, actors in fat suits. In Star Wars, plus-size humans have been largely absent, though fat aliens have appeared in the franchise for decades, inevitably evoking insults and cruel jokes about the fat community. But are things finally beginning to change in the galaxy far, far away?” The article goes on to celebrate the episode with Lizzo and Jack Black, as they are plus-size characters. I guess it doesn’t matter that this was the lowest rated episode in the history of the show. I honestly cannot believe we are talking about this, but it honestly makes sense with today’s outrage culture and this insane demand for diversity and inclusion. This issue being reported on by the huffpost is exactly the issue happening in hollywood with our entertainment. The story takes a backseat to agenda filled representation - and as a result, star wars and other entertainment suffers. It doesn’t matter that season 3 of The Mandalorian is the worst season by FAR! Fans over on the IMDB ranks season 3 as a 7.7 out of 10. But hey, one episode included a couple of fat people so this is GREAT. See how ridiculous that sounds?

New Star Wars Book Makes Jon Favreau Look Like an Idiot #starwars #themandalorian A new Star Wars book titled, Star Wars: Timelines, lets fans know that Luke Skywalker trained Grogu for only a few weeks. Jon Favreau, at the beginning of The Mandalorian season 3 said on multiple occasions on his Mandalorian press tour, that Grogu was with Luke for less than 2 years. Disney Star Wars is a horribly mismanaged disaster of an organization. New leadership is the only hope. I like Favreau, a lot! But, season 3 of The Mandalorian got away from him. I'm hoping he rights the ship.

When Steven Spielberg and John Favreau TRASHED Kathleen Kennedy #disney #starwars Nick analyzes two different clips. The first is when Steven Spielberg opened up about Kathy Kennedy, and even spoke directly about what she was NOT good at. The second clip is of Jon Favreau when he was interrupted by Kennedy midsentence. This is just more evidence that people DO NOT LIKE Kathy Kennedy.

Daisy Ridley's Rey DEMOTED to SECONDARY CHARACTER in New Star Wars Movie #starwars #disney Here’s a bit of interesting news that’s being reported regarding Lucasfilm’s recently announced Rey Skywalker movie. According to entertainment reporter John Rocha of The Hot Mic Podcast, Daisy Ridley’s Rey will not be the lead of the film. This is actually very surprising to learn due to the fact that at Star Wars Celebration, it was revealed that the film follows the events of Rise of Skywalker and will focus on Rey as she builds a new Jedi Order. That certainly makes it seem like she would be the lead character. However, Rocha is saying: “From what I understand, and what some of the rumors have come out here is that Daisy won’t necessarily be the lead. She’ll be like the Luke [Skywalker] or the Obi-Wan [Kenobi] of the situation, and she’ll rebuild the new Jedi Order.” Then Jeff Snieder, the other host and entertainment scooper on the podcast confirmed she “definitely” won’t be the lead, “but a supporting character instead.” But, weren’t Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi lead characters? Maybe the film will include more of an ensemble cast. So, it won’t necessarily revolve around her. It was also reported that John Boyega is possibly coming back to reprise his role as Finn. In regards to that, Snieder said: “I’ll tell you this. I’ll break this for myself. According to some sources I know, different sources, have reached out to me because of this show. And they have said to me, that according to them and what they’re hearing, is that John Boyega will be coming back for this movie.” Join our EBN Member Family to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7Y1x_Bd8uvQ_gMMUpEmmoQ/join Check out our incredible merch store! https://echo-base-network.creator-spring.com/?
