The Star Wars Thread

[Gabriel]

I am amazed at the level of effort and budget that they are putting into the Disney+ shows. I showed my wife the trailer for Manadalorian last night, and she thought it was a new movie because it looked so good.

Now, I wasn't expecting ScyFy levels of production, but I am so happy to see that they're really investing in the service and the series' that they are airing.

The original and prequel trilogies have both been announced as Day 1 additions to the streaming service, along with The Force Awakens.

It appears that Disney+ is taking a slow burn approach and not just blowing its' load all at once as well. There was a list of everything confirmed for Day 1, and the Marvel selection is four or five movies to start. Probably due in part to streaming rights deals that will need to expire before they can add certain things, but also because they don't want people to sign up specifically for one thing, like say the MCU... and then binge watch it all right away and cancel their subscription.

From what I've read, eventually everything will end up on the service, but they wanted to leave some room to be able to add not only new shows/movies each month, but stuff from the back catalog as well.

So apparently Ewen McGregor will reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in a Disney+ show. That should be fun. McGregor as Obi-Wan was one of the few good things about the prequels.

Rise of Skywalker trailer is pretty dope.

Kevin Feige is producing a new Star Wars movie. 

 

[Colly]

I hope Rocket Raccoon is in it.

[Josh]

Patton Oswalt was right! It’s all one universe!

[Gabriel]

Star Guardians of the Galaxy Wars.

I'd be totally up for a movie bringing the two franchises together in some way, as long as it's done well. Feige hasn't given me any reason to doubt him to this point, so I'm interested to see where this goes.

A mash-up movie of Star Wars and Marvel sounds terrible, and there's no way that'll ever happen.

I wonder if this is what Sony was talking about when they mentioned Feige is too busy or whatever.

[Colly]

I was definitely joking. Unless they put Mickey Mouse in too.

My biggest takeaway from the trailer:

HOLY SHIT, A Y-WING DOING SOMETHING!  

[Maxx]

Mandalorian real good!

So, does Disney now control all Star Wars, even the distribution rights for "A New Hope"? Can we get the original editions of the original trilogy on DVD now?

Yes.

No.

[Ruki]

That was really good! Are the episodes weekly?

[tristy]

Yes. All of the original shows on Disney+ look to have weekly releases for their episodes.

[Bigal]

I thought that was great fun. Like a Star Wars western.

New episodes will be out every Friday, including this one.

Yes but not clean and easy

Next episode comes out this Friday, then it goes weekly on Fridays until December 13th.  Then the next episode after that drops Wednesday December 18th and the finale comes out Friday December 27th.

They left a gap at the end for when Rise of the Skywalker comes out.
