Star Wars |OT3| Somehow, this thread returned

Something tells me they don't have an interview with Rian Johnson to celebrate the fourth anniversary of TLJ, lol
Probably not but they didn't have a 4th anniversary interview with Gareth Edwards so probably par for the course.
Jessica Henwick didn’t return to Star Wars because Rian Johnson thought her character was dead
Fans of Star Wars tend to get attached to rebel pilots that we barely meet. In terms of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, some of us got invested in Resistance fighter Jess Pava, an ace who is part of Poe Dameron’s Black Squadron.
Unsure of the fate of rebel pilots is probably why JJ's friend (Snap) wasn't in episode 8 as well. Rian has gone on record saying it was difficult to write 8 while the first one wasn't finished yet.Jessica Henwick didn’t return to Star Wars because Rian Johnson thought her character was dead

Hearing her say "but my comic!" reminds me of Lucas not caring about that stuff. But the first issue of the comic came out a year before TLJ (April 2016) with the timeline starting began before TFA so it is easy to not pay attention to it in the timeline or write it off.
Honestly don't remember her in the movie at all. It's nearly on the same level as "oh, Keira Knightly was in The Phantom Menace?"
Maybe even less
but still kinda funny nonetheless. The sequel trilogy was so disjointed smh
From what I remember in the comics they justified it by saying they were on a mission somewhere else.

Really enjoyed those interviews with Gareth and John.
I missed this announcement from earlier in the week. Marc Guggenheim is writing a Han and Chewie comic set before A New Hope. I was expecting another limited series, but it sounds like it's an ongoing.
Nice cover for #1 from Alex Maleev.

Is it just me or this Han art has a bit of Alden Ehrenreich in him? Especially the hairReally enjoyed those interviews with Gareth and John.

Someone more attentive than me back this up. LOL. But I think the confirmation was that he'll show up, just not in the first season?
EDIT: There we go
Maybe then!
Because they do have 3 seasons planned
Andor (Star Wars: Rogue One prequel) will be 3 seasons, with Tony Gilroy staying on News - Entertainment
This gon' be good!

"It is a time of peace. The jedi are truly at the height of their power. Everything is going fi--btw here's the slow corruption arc of multiple jedi as they get increasingly traumatized by their worst fears"
Watch it be an anthology series set across different eras and Palpatine's various incarnations are the antagonist in all of them
I wish it is the Skywalker Academy series with Grogu.
But I'm sure that it's not.
I truly wasn't expecting them to take this path with THR but I am here for it"It is a time of peace. The jedi are truly at the height of their power. Everything is going fi--btw here's the slow corruption arc of multiple jedi as they get increasingly traumatized by their worst fears"
With Spider Man No Way Home making a billion The Rise of Skywalker is no longer the last movie to make that.
It does make me wonder about future Star Wars movies and how they would do in the box office though. They'll probably mostly do well and avoid another Solo situation(when possible) but how well will be determined in 2023(maybe?) and beyond.

if the reviews & fan reception are good then i think they'll make money.
rogue squadron seems like the safest star wars movie in a while.
Honestly, it might be for the best.
Yeah if it comes in 2023 I would be surprised considering the development hell it's been through.
Star Wars movies will do fine. Solo was a lot of stuff on top of each other leading to its flop. When the next SW film hits theaters it will be years since the last one.
I just hope they don't keep it safe. I don't want Star Wars to turn into another MCU of mostly okay but hollow films. It's already veering towards that with how Mando is written.

I would not be surprised if they go safe, I guess it's how business goes these days for many movies. I would always want them to try risks but succeed in doing that as well.
BTW I should be watching The The Mandalorian next year.
Apparently The Matrix Resurrections didn't play it safe, and isn't doing so well right now...
Oh right, well, that movie sounds divisive from what I'm hearing. This seems to be a curse at this point.
Matrix is on HBO Max too and goes up against spider-man and a family film (during holidays). I don't think its actually that out of the box. The typical outrage nerds are angry because they get kind of called out in the first act (which makes it all the more ironic), but the film continues the Matrix-universe quite well and has everything you expect from a Matrix film (though the action doesn't feel as revolutionary). But sure, it's a film that has something to say that doesn't make nostalgia or fan service it's sole crutch.
But yeah, I fear we're going into a 'just give fans what they think they want'-phase, which doesn't exacly leads to stellar films or series (not saying they're bad. Haven't seen NWH yet btw). I rather have bold and surprising with the chance something misfires than safe and fan servicy that these days more often than not relies on stuff outside of the story to ellicit an emotional response.

No Way Home is amazing, easily the best MCU Spider Man movie. But yeah, I do agree with you there on that, plus that's what makes Star Wars special.
Cinemas closed here again and I had to pick between Matrix and Spider-Man on the last day, but as I am burning out on the MCU (and was even unsure if I was going to see NWH before the reviews for it where good) I picked The Matrix. I'm also unsure if Spider-Man will do much for me. I liked Homecoming, but hated Far From Home and I have no special fondess for the previous Spider-Man movies (Only saw the frst two Raimi ones, which I mostly liked back then. But it's been years since I saw them.) In my friends circle reactions are very mixed, which makes me believe I'll probably shrug at it. I'm still intending to see it once I get the chance again.
Star Wars Episode X whenever it is made will be a cultural event again. They might spend most of this decade making more spin off style films I guess
It will, but after TPM and TFA I think fans will be much more cautious about it. They won't automatically assume it will be the best thing ever like they did for those
TFA still hasn't been topped for highest grossing film of all time domestically. It almost cracked a billion dollars in the US alone. Not even Endgame dethroned it.
