Dark Wader Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Rogue Squadron will probably be the best Star Wars movie ever made, so that’s the one I’m looking forward to most. FINALLY. Vader in Obi Wan was obvious but getting Hayden back - awesome. Might actually be able to redeem himself somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Wader Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 It does make a lot more sense they faced each other again. I think Obi Wan will have a stab at trying to bring back Anakin (“Obi Wan once thought as you do. . .”) and from what we saw in A New Hope, this didn’t look like the first time Obi Wan had seen Vader in the suit.

The Choc Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 I wonder if James Earl Jones will do the voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 He sounded not good in Rogue One, so I actually kinda hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Wader Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Not Star Wars, but was this also the first offical confirmation that James Mangold is directing Indy 5? I know it pretty much had been but was still kinda holding out hope Spielberg would do it. Funny to think in 2008 we were all making jokes about Ford being too old to play him...

Darth Kid Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 The most exciting one for me is the one set in the High Republic era. Haven't seen much from that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 The only one I can really say I'm excited for is Rogue One. I'm glad to see Patty Jenkins get the opportunity. Other than that, Ewan is always enjoyable so I'll probably watch Kenobi, and it'll be interesting to see if they chicken out of Taiki Waititi halfway through when they realize that they hired someone who is going to add comedy.

Zathras Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Quote Kenobi, which will have Hayden as Vader! This is AWESOME! Is this a series or movie? I am also assuming Ewan is coming back? Quote Rangers of the New Republic, set during the basic timeframe of the Mandalorian This kind of makes sense and expected they would do this between Tim Olyphant and Gina Carrano as sheriffs or marshals. Also, basically seems the New Republic is learning that they need someone to fill the vacuum of the role the Jedi once filled, especially in the outer rim. Quote Ahsoka, also set during that time frame I kind of expected this, as well. Rosario Dawson did a great job in Mando. Quote Andor, the Rogue One prequel for 2022 We knew this was coming, but good confirmation. Quote The Bad Batch, the animated continuation of The Clone Wars and Rebels I guess that could be good, but I was hoping for a Clone Wars style series, featuring Luke voiced by MH, instead. Then again MH has been saying he is done with Star Wars. Quote Visions, a series of short animated stories by Japanese anime artists I guess it could be cool. Not what I'd likely watch. Depends on premise. Quote Lando, with Donald Glover Yes! Quote The Acolyte which will be mystery thriller set in the late stages of the High Repuplic I am not up on the High Republic. I know it is pre TPM, and I am assuming around 500-1000 years BBY. Is this right? Quote A Droid Story, about a new droid guided by Threepio and Artoo Not interested. Quote Rogue Squadron, a movie directed by Patty Jenkins HELL YES! Quote The Taiki Waititi movie is in develepment. I'd need more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedigoat Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 How tall is Hayden? Who played Vader in RO? Camera trickery may work, but I don't think Hayden is big enough for 'suit Vader'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Here's a little extra inside info-- The "female centric" show run by Leslye Headlund is The Acolyte. One of the other writers from my Hulu show just locked her deal to be on staff. The fact it is happening THIS CLOSE to me is killing me-- but I adore her and she's a great writer so I am happy for her... but seriously... ONE DEGREE away. Rangers is going to be written and run by Jon Favreu. Ahsoka, obv, written and run by Filoni. Neither will have writer's rooms. Lando will have a traditional room, and I am going to at the very least be submitted for it, but it will be a serious uphill battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zathras Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Also, I have a film industry techie question for you, Tank. I know we have deep fake videos, but how well can a voice be synthesized to sound like James Earl Jones, if someone else says the lines. Or, how successful can they be to strengthen JEJ's voice to make it sound younger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Choc Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 The Lando series is being called an event series, so Im left wondering if this is any different than Kenobi being called a limited series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
