The Next Ahsoka Episode Will Play In Theaters

The Next Ahsoka Episode Will Play In Theaters

, , , , 5

We take it the new Ahsoka show is doing well for Disney. Otherwise they wouldn’t be offering such a wild bonus next week: if you live near a participating theater, you have the option of seeing Episode 5 on the big screen at the time of premiere, though the window is tight. We don’t just mean the fact that it premieres in a matter of days, we mean just one theater per city is getting this privilege. The event is being held in coordination with AMC and the ten participating cities are Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington DC. And according to the website…..ALL tickets are sold out in those locations, though there is a waitlist. Disney isn’t telling us what happens in Episode 5, so all we have to go on is what happened in Episode 4. Desperate to be reunited with Ezra Bridger above all else, Sabine willingly surrendered the map sphere and she was then taken prisoner by

Disney+ Finally Selling Its Shows On Physical Media

Disney+ Finally Selling Its Shows On Physical Media

So how do you like it in the future, folks? You have an instant library filled with hundreds of shows, BUT the fee to access that library goes up every year, and your favorite shows can be pulled from that library without warning. Now I bet you’re not so eager to declare physical media “obsolete,” are you? It seemed like megacorp Disney was shifting away from physical media, but fortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case, at least for now. They just announced the three most popular shows produced for Disney+, The Mandalorian, WandaVision and Loki, are all getting physically released on Blu-Ray and 4K in collectible Steelbook packaging. Neat! Ah, but there’s more! On the Hulu side of things, the Predator prequel Prey is getting a well-deserved physical edition. We’re not sure why this film didn’t get a theatrical run — it would have made a mint there — but you can at least add it to your shelf alongside the other Predator films. The disc contains an

All the great ones had to get their start somewhere, and Ahsoka Tano’s big break came when she was chosen as the apprentice of Anakin Skywalker…the “Chosen One,” or at least believed to be at the time. Hitching a wagon so close to the Man Who Would Be Vader could have ended badly for Ahsoka, but she bailed his company just in time and has followed her own path ever since. Much of that post-Anakin path was told in the animated series Star Wars Rebels. Ahsoka has a presence in the first two seasons of that show as well as the last episode. It’s been made very clear by now that the Ahsoka series directly continues the storyline from that series. If you didn’t heed my warning last time that binging Rebels was strongly advised, well, it’s too late at just ten days left. Besides, I warned you months ago, so…it’s your own fault, buddy. Not only will we see live-action versions of Ezra Bridger, Sabine Wren and Hera Syndulla,

Experience The Timey-Wimey Insanity Of The Loki Season 2 Trailer

Secret Invasion turned out to be exactly what the Marvel Cinematic Universe DIDN’T need right now — a boring slog of a miniseries that did nothing to draw an increasingly apathetic public back from “superhero fatigue.” Can Loki, God of Mischief and former nemesis of the Avengers, change that fate? You all loved him once, remember? In the first season of Loki — starring Tom Hiddleston, reprising his movie role — we were introduced to the TVA, the strict bureaucracy that protects spacetime from anomalies and irregularities — like Loki himself had managed to become. But the Trickster God was slick enough to slip out of every trap the TVA set for him, teaming up with Sylvie, a female Loki from another dimension, to expose the founder and shut the operation down. Even if Loki Season 2 manages to be as engaging as Loki Season 1, there’s this other problem. Season 1 introduced Kang the Conqueror, intended to be the Big Bad of the current “multiverse” arc of the MCU.

New Ahsoka Trailer Reveals Rebels Reunion

New Ahsoka Trailer Reveals Rebels Reunion

, , , , 13

Ahsoka’s own show is fast approaching Disney+ at light speed, and the first full trailer was released this morning. It makes clear what executive producer Dave Filoni has been implying this whole time: the show is an outright sequel to Star Wars Rebels. Filoni has been in charge of the television side of Star Wars since the Clone Wars CG series premiered — and introduced Anakin’s apprentice Ahsoka Tano with it. Since then the character has grown to be a fan favorite, and Filoni has put her in almost every series he’s done since, whenever possible (she was only absent from Obi-Wan Kenobi). Rebels was the first show Ahsoka appeared in as an adult, and The Mandalorian was the first show to portray her in live action (played by Rosario Dawson). It all comes together in the self-titled Ahsoka, which reunites Tano with her old friends, the Twilek Hera Syndulla and the Mandalorian Sabine Wren. Ever since Rebels ended they’ve been searching for Ezra Bridger, that show’s central character (and

Ahsoka Gets Her Own Show August 23

After George Lucas wrapped up his theatrical Star Wars movies “forever” with Revenge of the Sith, he turned to animation to tell some stories that occurred in between the prequel trilogy. The Clone Wars was the result, a CGI cartoon that debuted its pilot on the big screen and, there, revealed a new character that had not made any appearance in any of the movies: Ahsoka Tano. Ahsoka wasn’t just anyone…she was Anakin’s own apprentice. Through that connection, she would unavoidably be in nearly every episode, and Star Wars was taking a risk with that (we had already seen what happens when the audience doesn’t like a character). The gamble paid off this time, however…people loved Ahsoka. She generated a fanbase over the seasons of The Clone Wars that became increasingly worried about her absence in the movies and what that could mean. Where did she go by the time Anakin flipped out, became Vader and ordered all Jedi dead? Clone Wars producer Dave Filoni was about to answer that

Disney Reveals Plans To Dump Dozens Of Shows From Streaming

Disney Reveals Plans To Dump Dozens Of Shows From Streaming

, , , 7

There was a lot of reckless spending at Disney during the Chapek Era, mostly to prop up the Disney+ streaming service with a large flow of original content. But now the bubble has burst, the bills are coming in and Iger has returned to mop up the mess. And unfortunately, one of the decisions he’s made is to pull a Zaslav on much of the library both Disney+ and Hulu built up these past three years. Iger said during an earnings call yesterday that Disney basically made too many shows, and so they’re rewriting history so that they appear to have made less of them. “We realized that we made a lot of content that is not necessarily driving sub growth, and we’re getting much more surgical about what it is we make. So as we look to reduce content spend, we’re looking to reduce it in a way that should not have any impact at all on subs.” Well, unless they make people angry enough to cancel their subscriptions

Avatar: The Way of Water Won’t Be A Disney+ Exclusive

Avatar: The Way of Water, the biggest blockbuster no one talks about, is confirmed to be heading to streaming very soon. Its parent company revealed you’ll be able to watch it starting June 7 on Disney+…..and HBO Max?? That’s what they said. Avatar 2 will premiere on both Disney+ and Max on the same day. To tip the scale a little on their end, Disney+ says their version will contain “bonus content featuring filmmakers, cast, and crew.” No one is sure why this is happening — a pre-existing distribution deal between Warner Bros and 20th Century Studios (back when it had the word “Fox” in it) is the press’s best guess. Before then, Fox didn’t have a streaming channel, and had no plans to start one, so they agreed to share future content with HBO. Avatar: The Way Of Water takes place a generation after the first movie and is about Jake Sulley raising his Navi kids in a big lagoon. It is over three hours long, quite an unreasonable

People have….passionate opinions about Star Wars, if you haven’t noticed from poking around online. It seems the worst thing a human can possibly do is to make a bad movie or TV show set in the Lucas universe, and since taste is objective, everybody has different opinions on what stinks and what doesn’t. But there is one recent Star Wars product from the last 25 years that I haven’t heard a single complaint about. It’s Star Wars Visions. Visions is an anthology series where each episode is its own separate production, each from a different animation studio. With a format like this, the show can’t help but please everyone. If there’s a short you’re not into, maybe you’ll like the next one. And we didn’t notice any real dud episodes of Visions’ first season, which was created by the world’s top anime studios. Season 2 of Star Wars Visions won’t be limiting itself to just Japanese animation this time — studios from all over the world have contributed. We’ve got

Star Wars Celebration Info-Dump: A Galaxy Of New Movies And Shows

Disney could release information on their upcoming Star Wars things one at a time, like most other companies, but instead they usually cram everything into these big conferences two or three times a year, forcing us poor reporters to rush around and get everything up before everyone else does. The “Star Wars Celebration” conference took place this morning and Lucasfilm laid out all they have planned for the next year, and a few years after that. This time, there was more of an emphasis on the future of Star Wars in the movies, something we haven’t heard about since 2019. Despite prior plans, they aren’t committing to a new trilogy, just a few separate ideas — which is probably for the better. But there are a lot of TV shows in the works too. Read on for a Star Destroyer-sized infodump. Oh yeah, and if you’re one of those people who won’t stop complaining about how “bad” Star Wars is now, and how no one else can enjoy it because

Is Willow Cancelled? Depends On Who You Ask

2022 had several high-budget fantasy TV shows premiere at the same time through sheer coincidence. Amazon’s billion-dollar The Rings Of Power squared off directly against HBO Max’s Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon. In terms of viewer numbers, HotD gained a slight edge over RoP despite the latter costing twice as much. But in the corner there was Disney+’s Willow, quietly doing its own thing. I saw all three of them, and in my mind, Willow (based on the 1988 movie) won out. It took itself far less “seriously” than the other two, it wasn’t operating from a billionaire’s budget, its lore wasn’t as carefully crafted and intricate. But if you ask me why, the answer is simple. I had more FUN watching Willow than I had watching the other two, and that’s where it really counts. It’s a virtual guarantee that we’re getting more HotD and RoP at some point (not for at least two years, but at some point). Willow, however, is saddled with being a cult

  Peter Pan and Wendy will be coming to Disney+ this coming  April 28 only on Disney Plus. Disney’s “Peter Pan and Wendy,” a reimagining of the 1953 classic and based on J.M. Barrie’s novel, has caused a stir ahead of its release. Changes made by Disney, such as race-bending some characters and introducing gender diversity among the Lost Boys, have garnered mixed reactions. The controversial casting of Yara Shahidi as Tinkerbell, traditionally played by a blonde actress, has sparked debates. Peter Pan is played by a racially ambiguous British actor,Alexander Molony and Wendy is played by Ever Anderson, the daughter of Milla Jovovich and Paul W.S Anderson, who directed the Resident Evil movies. Additionally, Alyssa Wapanatâhk, an actual Native American actress, will play Tiger Lily. The Previous Peter Pan movie had controversy because of casting Rooney Mara, A white British actress to play Tiger Lilly who is Native.
