They’re standalone movies.

Oh, I see. So it's 3 different time periods, and I guess this one will be a send-off to Daisy Ridley or something.

The Next Three Star Wars Films Go to the Past, Present, and Future With Daisy Ridley
James Mangold, Dave Filoni, and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will direct the movies, which are not a trilogy.

Yeh at this point I want them to explore different angles than the material that's already stretched so thin. So that sounds interesting to me.

Looks like they are trying to figure out what direction to take Star Wars.
Very happy for Dave Filoni finally getting a shot to direct a Star Wars movie. Must be a dream come true for him.

Hopefully in the dumpster. Dude doesn't know crap about Luke Skywalker. Holdo Maneuvers other dumb stuff.
Yay, another day, another slew of star wars films that will never see the light of day. Remember D&Ds (the game of throne guys) projects, Lindeloffs project, Rians projects, and patty Jenkins project? Yeah, none of us do either!
How has Guillermo del Toro never been attached to star wars? That guy has a dozen aborted films every year!
Give it to Bryce Dallas Howard, she at least can make a visually cool star wars film and with a good script I think she is the perfect fit.
(and as a director she won't have to lose weight..

That movie was just announced today with Daisy Ridley coming back.

The Dawn of the Jedi film could be cool I suppose. However, as with everything modern Star Wars, they'll probably use it to over-explain some dumb shit that never needed an explanation. I'll keep an eye on that one and hope for an Andor situation.
Edit: misunderstanding.

It’s not a Mando movie. It’s Heir to the Empire.

Gotcha, I just saw the other thread with the Ashoka trailer and yeah that looks really fucking good.

Mangold and filini are tight. They need to let Dallas Bryce howard direct a movie. Her episodes of the mandolorian have been great.

She’ll probably do the second movie in the New Jedi Order trilogy.

How is Rey a jedi master? That's how the article describes her. She did a little training with Luke then it was the last movie.
I would have called her a jedi knight. She did the cool healing power on the sand snake but what elevates you to master status? Don't you have to have a padawan?
The jedi order is obviously starting over but shit better be different

Will reserve judgement on Mangold until I see what he's done to Indy 5, the new trailer looked somewhat promising.
Dave Filoni will make a toy advert, so arguably the most faithful star wars film possible. For better and for worse.
The last one is being made by an activist first and filmmaker second, and I believe its the one Damon Lindelof recently stepped back from. I'd have been more confident if he'd stayed on board after leftovers and watchmen. As it is, it'll likely be crap but at the very least it's moving the story forward post TROS.
The one silver lining here is that there's still no sign of Rian Johnson's trilogy. Lol, lmao even.

Its just so strange to me that the people in charge at Disney and Lucasfilm seem to have forgotten what made Star Wars so appealing in the first place.
Its not exactly complicated; SW came along and was a complete antidote to the overall grittiness and cynicism of the 1970's. It was escapism, pure space opera of a kind not seen in decades. You look at the SF movies and TV in the years leading up to it and its complete night and day!
Do. That. Again. $$$
What you don't do is try and make heavy handed statements, especially relating to topical issues. Its anathema to the core appeal.

I can already see a "the first jedi" film cribbing directly from Wheel of Time with a "feminine=light" and "masculine=dark" polarized system because the "first fedi" was a woman tired of seeing other force users beat people up. The bad guys will look suspiciously like Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan, and Jordan Peterson
Kathleen "the force is female" Kennedy has been hinting at this for years.

Why when we’re getting Heir to the Empire.They should do a deep fake movie of Shadows Of The Empire which takes place between empire and jedi

You realize that had NOTHING to do with Star Wars right? It was an Air Force/Nike thing the rage baiters lied about to make people like you angry.

Tired SW fan. Man... the saturation is strong. Even more than usual. I dunno, I liked Andor.
I hope some of these are good entertainments that people enjoy. Can't say I'm gonna watch most of 'em, and I never thought I'd say that.

Many “Whelps”! Handle It!
I'm both for and against it. On one hand I like to hear about what's coming, and all of the projects are always so far off that I don't need to feel some kind of urgency or wild hype. On the other hand it does feel a bit like advertising overload that dilutes a brand.

Tag, you're it.
Can't wait to see Jedi apprentices call Rey "Master Skywalker"
Also
"from director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, a documentary specialist who currently deals with serious societal issues such as women's rights, violence against women, poverty and education."
You know how this will translate in a Disney movie, can't fuckin wait.

And how astute of a CEO to purposely piss off the core audience for the product? How many new folks did it bring to the brand versus how many did it turn away?
"Sides, I don't buy the "it was all a nike ad!".
This is the Kathleen Kennedy photo:
Let us pause to appreciate the shirts
THIS is the nike shirt:
what, pray tell, is different about the last shirt, not present on the shirt WORN AT A FILM FESTIVAL not, BTW, sponsored by Nike, where she said this:
“It’s a conversation we’ve had really going back to what George Lucas did with Princess Leia,” Kennedy said. “And we carried on in that tradition, and I think we’ve created some really strong females with characters like Rey in ‘The Force Awakens’ and Jyn in ‘Rogue One.’ [We’re] having strong, empowered females in these stories, and really allowing them to become heroes, which seems to be, oddly, a new concept, but fantastic— that seems to be getting some traction, so that’s what we’re trying to do.”
Hmm, that nike ad campaign tie in seems....tenuous at best. The Archer film festival was in May of '17, I don't think that nike campaign fired off till a year later in '18
But, you know, you do you.

'The Force is Female' is not about Star Wars
The "Force is Female" t-shirts were part of a marketing campaign by Nike. They had nothing to do with Star Wars. The campaign was designed to get women to wear Air Force One shoes.

So? I'm saying that wearing a shirt with that slogan, no branding, at a FILM FESTIVE, not sponsored by Nike (that I can tell) AND talking about female representation in Star Wars BY THE HEAD OF LUCASARTS, how thick of a marker do I need to connect the dots for you? Whatever the origin of the phrase (and I bet FOR SURE that Nike had to negotiate with Lucasrts lawyers to use "The Force" in such a context) the way she wore it was referring to Star Wars, not a sneaker.'The Force is Female' is not about Star Wars

I assure you that did not piss off the core audience. The core audience is comprised of people of all walks of life and ages. It's Star Wars after all.
In fact I'd wager most people don't care. I bet I could ask all 50-or-so people I know and none of them would have even heard about it (like me), and when showed it would not be bothered. Why do you care if they make strong female characters?
You'd really detest the Studio Ghibli films man.
