So basically we’re getting a live action season 5 of Rebels.
All for it. I wonder how they feel this would appeal to more casual users though..
I didn't watch Rebels until earlier this year when I was on a SW kick and absorbing lots of EU stuff. I spent years thinking the show would be a Disneyfied kids show due to when it was made, but it ended up being one of my favourite entries in the franchise. Kanan and Ezra's arc may be one of my favourite Jedi stories in the series. Hyped for this show.
What's Rebels?
Animated series set in the Ep3 - Ep4 gap about an early rebel cell and a surviving Jedi.
I'm not mad about it since I think it is the nature of being a fan, but I don't think Star Wars is really for me anymore. I never saw CWs or Rebels, and I don't really have any inclination to, but it seems that someone needs to consume all SW media to enjoy the new stuff. Eh, but what do I know? I liked TLJ. I hope Ahsoka is good for those that enjoy it.
Did you at least try Andor? Because that's the best Star Wars show I've ever seen, and honestly I'd even say I enjoyed it more than most movies.
I've admittedly seen nearly ever Star Wars show, but can't recommend them all. It's often a pretty shallow series, with comically evil villains that have no depth. But Andor is chefs kiss.
I'm not sure how Ahsoka is gonna be. I sure hope it's closer to Andor than the other recent shows (most of which were only middling quality in my book).
It's on the list. Just haven't been in the mood to start a very serious drama, but I'm looking forward when the mood strikes. I did really enjoy Mando S1, primarily because it was what I've been waiting for: a genre smash in a unique setting (space western). The more the series has moved from that, the less I like those episodes. Andor seems to fit that mold.
I’m in the minority who didn’t like Andor. Like, it’s beautifully shot and the set design is great, but it didn’t give that much else for me. I felt no connection to Andor as a character, and I’m not interested in all the surrounding politics regarding the rebellion either.
I figured I’m just done with Star Wars.
I'm with you, buddy. Like most franchises these days, creators are playing it safe and looking inward and filling in smaller and smaller gaps in canon. As opposed to looking outward and giving us something new, at the risk of it being rejected. Me, I'd prefer to see something different than something familiar, but I guess my continuing Disney+ subscription tells the higher ups otherwise...
Yeah, and I certainly understand the trend with the growing competition of media. I think that notion will stick around, but it will also ebb and flow when the bottom line demands fresh content. That feels justified as Pixar is looking for something that works instead of rereleasing Zootopia and Inside Out again.
I can't put my finger on it but when I pictured a extended Star Wars Universe beyond the movies, what Disney is putting out really wasn't it. I guess I was thinking content more along the lines of KOTOR 1 & 2 thematically
The did drop KOTOR back in the official timeline last year. I guess due to the reimagining of the game that's due at some point.
