Star Wars Discussion Thread v. Rise of Skywalker / Mandalorian (merged)

Is there a reason why the Boba Fett thread was locked?

Was wondering the same thing? Didn't appear to be any major argument or spoilers going on. Did someone not give Bosk a proper tribute?

Edit. What I get for jumping in a thread I haven’t read in awhile and assuming I was on the last page before posting.

Just read that there is going to be a Bo Katan centric show on Disney +....to air after S3 of 'The Mandalorian'.  I personally am stoked about that news for two reasons. One is I freaking love Katee Sackhoff and think she's extremely underrated.....and two, Bo Katan is a really cool character. Supposedly, Bo Katan was going to get a ton of storyline in the now cancelled Rangers of the Republic so they must have turned it into her own deal

That's a great porn actress name.

So weirdly, I thought Bo Katan was played by Bryce Dallas Howard. I know she directed some of The Mandalorian episodes. The two do look similar.

Let's hurry up and get it over with.

Is that show still targeted as a 4 episode mini-series? That's what I recall when last reading about it sometime back.

Should be six episodes from the reports I've read online, so the show will run from May 25th to June 29th, unless they do a two-episode premiere.

I've got a good feeling about this.

I've got a meh feeling about it.

I mean, I definitely hope it's good.  I'm just not sure how much I care.

I hope they completely go against expectations and just do a whole show about Obi Wan puttering around tattoine. No action, no other crossing over, just a dude living a quiet life. I can even imagine some episodes with no dialogue what so ever. A whole episode of him making and eating a meal sounds ace.

[hefdaddy42]

I cannot tell you how absolutely tired I am of Tatooine.  Can we please get off this planet?

You trying to tell me that you.....hate sand?

[hefdaddy42]

I like it at the beach.

I hate it on this godforsaken shithole that they insist on continuing to visit.

It basically writes itself!



Or maybe the show is his one vacation he took to a different planet. Just Obi Wan in a Star Wars resort of sorts banging the local girls, sampling the local spirits, and catching up on his reading.

I think you've confused this with the Star Trek thread. Picard vacationing of Risa is over there.

Someone did a recreation of Heir to the Empire. Its rough around the edges, but I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit

You may have to rewind to the beginning

[TheOutlawXanadu]

Obi Wan Kenobi series officially coming May 25th.

I think that the most predictable synopsis is something along the lines of: "Obi-Wan learns that Anakin is still alive. He goes to try and turn him back to the light. This culminates in a lightsaber battle where Darth Vader defeats Obi-Wan and leaves him for dead, mirroring the last time they met. Also, toss in some obligatory cameos of OT characters."

I wouldn't have a problem with that, but I'm also interested to see how far they deviate from what the fanbase is expecting.

Entertainment Weekly has shared new photos of the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi show!

I wonder how many folks will complain that we are still visiting Tatooine after seeing it in The Mandalorian and The Book Of Boba Fett? 

-Marc.

[lordxizor]

I don't mind Tatooine too much, but if we end up there in Andor or Ahsoka, I might get a little annoyed.

I will probably end up getting a Disney+ Subscription for this!

Looks like The Inquisitors from the Rebels cartoon, will make their live action debut!

[Orbert]

We already knew that Obi-Wan stayed on Tatooine to keep an eye on Luke, so it's a given that most (if not all) of this will be set on Tatooine.

That said, yeah, I'm getting kinda tired of all desert, all the time.  The Mandalorian had something of a space-western gunfighter vibe going on, so it kinda fit, but The Mandalorian did manage to visit a number of other planets.  Boba Fett stuck around Tatooine because he somehow decided he wanted to run one of the towns.  I think both of those series missed the opportunity to show us a larger, mostly-unexplored Star Wars universe.  The Mandalorian tried, but got sucked back to Tatooine anyway.  Now it's time for more stories set on a desert planet that honestly has no business being such a center of activity in an empire that spans countless planets in countless star systems.  Yet here we are.

[Cool Chris]

Ok, that.... looks pretty awesome. Going to watch with no expectations, and no further teasers/trailers/spoilers.
