I see the female POC directed the utter dross that was Ms Marvel. Another train wreck methinks Disney, prepare to throw another 350 million down the drain.
Also, I thought the next Disney Wars movie was supposed to be helmed by Taika Waititi? Thor: Love and Thunder not get the response the execs were hoping for?
Expanded universe is canon in my head. But in my personal head canon nothing exists after the Disney purchase. Disney doesn’t care about my head canon. Lol.
I haven't read much all that much EU stuff, but I consider them canon and ignore Disney, too. I only read the 5 Thrawn books, 9 X-Wing books, and Shadows of the Empire.
Does it seem like they announce this stuff to blunt criticism of recent releases and to market them? I could have sworn they announce Round Head's trilogy after the backlash was starting against TLJ. In hindsight, it looks like a marketing stunt to help TLJ. I'm not sure on the timing of the other announcements.
What great marketing. That certainly makes me want to watch. And I can hear the “racist fans” complaint already. Of course it has nothing to do with people being sick and tired of race/gender obsession taking priority over story
Exactly. And at this point one sure way to lose my interest is to tell me that. You know the character will be insufferable based on what Disney has taught us.
I gave Disney Star Wars a chance. Not saying everything is bad but I cancelled Disney plus and will stick to the pre Disney stuff. Currently reading some expanded universe material and there is a ton of it out there.
Serendipity that Cal Kestis' latest outing is called 'Star Wars Jedi: Survivor'. Might be the only thing left standing out of the franchise.
Much to Gillette's chagrin, digging the bearded look. Wonder if the googly eyed alien will be back, or maybe is too busy auditioning for the next sad wars.
Damon Lindelof.
HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS GUY KEEP GETTING WORK?!

Patty Jenkins: Rogue Squadron MIA too.
No great loss.
Based on the Stackpole X-Wing books, maybe.
Those aren't canon anymore. I wish they had taken a condensed amalgamation of those for the new Trilogy instead of the crap we got.

I need to read those. I found one at a book store
They are very, very good. Some of the later books center around a Republic special operations squadron that operates behind Imperial lines.
Cool. Can’t wait to read them. Currently reading from legacy of the force series
I doubt that they would have made a movie you'd enjoy. Unless you identify as modern audience.

They announced that he was getting his own trilogy before the release. It was definitely a stunt to hype TLJ.
D&D were announced around the time of Game of Thrones S6. Then S7 dropped and so were they :)
I think its more to gauge response. If it generates hype and excitement to X level, they likely would enter plans to actually have it happen.
If it receives enough backlash to make it more of a risky venture instead of a guaranteed money printer, its likely shelved quietly.

Haven't seen any Star Wars crap since Ep 7 and I won't be seeing any new Star Wars shit in the future either.

RiP china sales lol.
https://xkcd.com/566/ What Star Wars sequels?
Going to be funny seeing that shitshow unfold.

There will be no bargain!!!!
