The Mandalorian Season 3 Trailer Reaches Earth

The Mandalorian Season 3 Trailer Reaches Earth

, , , , , 10

So is it still cool to like The Mandalorian or does everyone want all of Star Wars to be as dry as Andor now? Highbrow political drama is fine, but if you want my controversial opinion, it simply isn’t Star Wars without dozens of weird puppets and lightsaber swinging. THIS is the way. Future generations binge-watching The Mandalorian are going to be confused when Season 2 ends with Mando and his little green friend parting ways, and then Season 3 starting up with them back together in a new ship. The story unexpectedly continued in the half-baked Book Of Boba Fett series when the Boba part just wasn’t working. What you do need to know is that Din is still sore over being rejected by his sect over that one solitary time he took his helmet off. He’s headed to his home world of Mandalore to seek redemption, but more will probably happen there than just a spiritual awakening. Mando is the current owner of the Darksaber, a sacred Mandalorian

I Guess We’re Calling Indiana Jones 5 “The Dial Of Destiny”

I Guess We’re Calling Indiana Jones 5 “The Dial Of Destiny”

, , , , , 13

Disney and Lucasfilm just revealed the title of the fifth and final (?) Indiana Jones film, and it’s an odd one. We have no idea what “The Dial Of Destiny” means other than the possible Maguffin of the picture. My first thought when seeing it was that Indy must be desperate to find soap. With the release of the title came the release of the first trailer. It answers a few questions people have had about Indy 5. No one knew if John Rhys-Davies would be in the film until now, when he shows up in the first 20 seconds of footage. It is the late 60s and Indy is still a college professor, but he hung up his iconic hat a while ago. Sallah tells him he’ll have to take it off the rack because there’s one more adventure ahead. Go figure…just when he thought he was out, they pull him back in. The trailer also answers who Phoebe Waller-Bridge is playing: Helena, Indy’s god-daughter. She must be the

Disney+ Thinking About An Indiana Jones Show

Disney+ Thinking About An Indiana Jones Show

Like it or not, we’re getting a fifth Indiana Jones movie starring a super-old Harrison Ford who will knock around commies with his walker or cane. But beyond that, the IP will still be valuable (assuming the movie isn’t so bad it tanks the whole thing), so what will Lucasfilm do next? Reboot? Such a move would go down easier if it was delivered in a different form. If, say, there were to be an IJ TV series, no one would expect Mr. Ford to be on it since he doesn’t work for a TV salary. Thus, Variety reports that Disney is thinking of developing an Indiana Jones Disney+ series. There are two things to keep in mind: one, having a character everyone loves doesn’t always equal success. The show itself has to be somewhat good. A Star Wars show about Boba Fett should’ve worked perfectly, but instead people responded much more positively to a completely new character with a similar mask and a green infant to shepherd. Two, you

This Is The Way To A Mandalorian Season 3 Trailer

This Is The Way To A Mandalorian Season 3 Trailer

I can imagine that, many years in the future, there will be people who are watching The Mandalorian in what appears to be the proper sequence. They’ll move from the Season 2 finale on to the Season 3 premiere, and wonder how Grogu can be back and where Mando got his new ship from. Then months later they’ll try Book Of Boba Fett out of curiosity and go, “Oh, so THIS is where that happened?” The problem is far worse on the Marvel side: the story of Thor does not properly continue from Thor 3 to Thor 4, but two movies in between. Comics traditionally have little notes from the “editor” in yellow boxes whenever something like this happens, telling readers where they can find the missing piece of the story (“See Issue #474! Excelsior!”). But not in the movies that adapt those comics. You have to do the work on your own. Most people won’t bother, and will be confused. So those of us in the present day, experiencing

Our First Look At Star Wars: Andor

Our First Look At Star Wars: Andor

, , , , , 5

Disney’s theatrical offerings for Star Wars have been spotty at best, but one consensus most people can agree on is that Rogue One was pretty good. You’re officially getting more of it. That story will soon be expanded in Andor, a two-season series coming to Disney+ late this summer. How can you make more of Rogue One considering…how it ends? Easy…Andor will be about everything that happens to Cassian Andor leading UP to the events of Rogue One. Diego Luna returns as Cassian. Andor is mainly about the origins of the Rebellion and the first steps leading up to how the Rebels got to where they are by the time A New Hope happens. The trailer shows the Galactic Empire invading communities, pushing people around, and generally being the fascists they are, while Andor peeks from behind corners and seethes in rage. There’s probably at least one more trailer coming after this because not much is revealed storywise. Andor is getting a record 24 episodes, the most ever granted to

There Will Be A Lot More Star Wars On TV Soon

The future of Star Wars is….definitely NOT in the theaters. After overcooking the franchise with three rushed sequel movies and a couple of spinoffs, Disney noticed how The Mandalorian made a significantly larger cultural splash than Rise Of Skywalker, and decided “fine, it’s a TV thing from now on.” All the theatrical projects Lucasfilm has announced in previous years are now “on hold.” But we’re sure getting a lot more shows! Obi-Wan arrives in one week and after that’s done, you can look forward to something called Andor later this summer. It stars Diego Luna, and we assume he is reprising his role from Rogue One, as it’s about the very beginnings of the Rebellion against the Empire. After that, 2022 gets a little murky, but 2023 sounds packed. It will be the year we finally get the Ahsoka show, starring Rosario Dawson as the title character (as she was in The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett). There will also be something that doesn’t have a title yet, which

Watch Disney’s Full Obi-Wan Kenobi Trailer

Disney had to have something planned for May the 4th, right? We were expecting the reveal of an entirely new Star Wars thing, but instead we got another trailer for a show we know is coming and will be here by the end of the month. The show is called Obi-Wan Kenobi, and you can guess what it’s about. It’s the midpoint between 2005 and 1977. Palpatine and Vader rule the galaxy. Being a Jedi is a death sentence, and nobody dares perform lightsaber tricks in public — unless they’re a Sith, who also get lightsabers (pretty red ones!) Ben Kenobi, the focus of our story, hides out on Tattooine while the Empire searches constellation after constellation for him. It’s a futile effort because canonically, Vader can never figure out he’s on Tattooine — but evidently Ben steps off his hiding planet at some point because this trailer highly suggests he and his former apprentice have a little meeting. Ewan McGregor returns as Obi-Wan, reprising the role he played in

Filming Wraps On Indiana Jones 5

Filming Wraps On Indiana Jones 5

Indiana Jones 5 has taken so long to make that some people are wondering if Harrison Ford will die before they can get around to finishing it. As of now, that’s no longer a possibility (unless they need reshoots). James Marigold, director of the movie, and Frank Marshall, producer, both confirmed yesterday that every scene has now been shot, and it’s now just a matter of finishing the VFX, which apparently takes more than a year. The release date isn’t until the summer of 2023. That’s a wrap!!! #indianajones pic.twitter.com/pQRTw0oOXx — Frank Marshall (@LeDoctor) February 27, 2022 And so begins the first day after the storm.. pic.twitter.com/nb0jnHIeec — Mangold (@mang0ld) February 27, 2022 Wait a minute…who is James Marigold and why isn’t the director Spielberg? Uhh, funny story…Steven was originally attached to direct, but had a falling out over the movie’s script, and passed the job to someone else, though he remains in a producing role. Is that a bad sign? Some are taking it as so. We want to

New Teaser For The Book Of Boba Fett

New Teaser For The Book Of Boba Fett

, , , , , 0

One month and counting until the release of The Book Of Boba Fett on Disney+. To whet your appetites, Lucasfilm has provided a short teaser for the series today. It’s pretty short, but it does consist of mostly new clips, and it hints that we may find out how Fett got to where he is now. By that we mean, he obviously fell into the toothy maw of the Sarlacc in Return of the Jedi, and it was said there was no escape from its digestive tract. Yet clearly, Boba got out, and though he also got out in the previous “alternate continuity” that existed in expansion fiction prior to the Disney takeover, we’ve never gotten to learn how he survived in the new canon. Seems we’ll get those answers soon. In The Book Of Boba Fett, the bounty hunter is taking up the position previously held by the late space slug Jabba the Hutt, after Hutt was strangled by an angry princess who then ran off to some moon.

Dark Horse Has The Star Wars License Back…Sort Of

Dark Horse Has The Star Wars License Back…Sort Of

, , , , , 0

For the longest time, in the comic book industry, “Dark Horse” and “Star Wars” were synonymous with each other. They created a rich and extensive library of alternate-canon storylines from a galaxy far far away. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked — I mean, Disney got involved. Since Disney now owned both Star Wars and Marvel it made business sense to have one produce the other. So Star Wars was no longer offered for license and Marvel became the exclusive publisher of SW-related content, relaunching everything under the official new canon set by Disney. That went on for a while, but lately the Mouse’s attitude seems to be shifting. Other publishers like IDW and Boom have been allowed to adapt Disney properties…in fact, IDW has produced Star Wars titles in the last two years, mainly under the all-ages “Star Wars Adventures” brand. Which brings us to the situation with Dark Horse…it’s similar. DH has been granted the license to make Star Wars stuff again, but it won’t be

Even though it was frontloaded with the largest family entertainment library in the world, nobody truly knew if Disney+ would be a success or not…it’s the originals that get a streamer attention. Fortunately, they had a hit right out of the gate with The Mandalorian. But then the Baby Yoda storyline wrapped up surprisingly quickly and now Mando is taking a break. Who could possibly pinch-hit for him that could also attract the same huge audience? None other than the original, the man who made Mandalorians cool, the fearless bounty hunter who had to rename his ship because “SLAVE 1” sounded wrong to modern ears…Boba Freakin’ Fett. Yes, Boba Fett is back in The Book Of Boba Fett, and he’s taking up the position previously held by the late space slug Jabba the Hutt, after Hutt was strangled by an angry princess who then ran off to some moon. Who cares where she is now, there’s an empty seat and an entire crime empire to lord over! And Fett has

One of the coolest Star Wars projects we’ve seen in a while is Visions, an anthology of shorts created by seven world-renowned anime studios. George Lucas cited the films of Akira Kurosawa as a heavy influence in his galaxy, and now contemporary Japanese creators have returned the favor. The shorts are a mix of tales that focus on characters both familiar (Boba Fett and Jabba the Hutt can be seen in the trailer below) and original (Studio Trigger has created two twins of the Dark Side). We’ll have to wait to find out what those twins do as no synopses for any of the shorts have been issued. But there is a full list of titles… Kamikaze Douga – “The Duel” Geno Studio (Twin Engine) – “Lop and Ochō” Studio Colorido (Twin Engine) – “Tatooine Rhapsody” Trigger – “The Twins” and “The Elder” Kinema Citrus – “The Village Bride” Science Saru – “Akakiri” and “T0-B1” Production IG – “The Ninth Jedi” “As a first formal venture into anime, each ‘Star
