I’m curious, anyone still watching Mandalorian? I hear it wasn’t good or it confirms that it leads to ST. I foolishly thought at one point they would erase sequels. Honestly if I was consulting them I’d have them move past sequels and do an NJO style story about a group invading the galaxy
Honestly I tuned out after season one because the only thing Disney could feasibly do is crap it up. From everything I’ve heard I made the smart bet.
Seeing Luke was cool but after they fired Carano I was done. Been reading legends content and loving it. I’m strictly pre Disney Star Wars now
Don't buy into their lingo. What they're calling "legends" is the EU and the old-school EU canon. Just because Disney says their shitty fan fiction is the new canon doesn't have to mean fuck-all to us.
Hard agree. Corporate sanctioned thievery doesn’t mean Disney controls the canon.
True. EU all the way. I’m currently reading Fate of the Jedi series. I think it’s stupid Disney couldn’t at least have kept it going in a separate continuity. To just ignore all those fans should’ve been a major red flag
filoni confirmed at one point in an interview that the rumor you heard was true.
SWEU allows time travel via the force. ezra reached through the force and saved ahsoka from dying to vader, allowing her to appear in mandalorian after the fall of the empire. since we know vader didn't kill ahsoka as he was supposed to originally, she got mando to help grogu to call luke, who then saved grogu from the new order getting him. without grogu's body, snoke and the other sith clones are never engineered, and the sequels trilogy is erased.
then they were going to put all the explainer in the ahsoka series, which was delayed/shelved with the failure of solo.
kennedy had a huge fight with a bunch of people because filoni/favreau hid the luke ending from her. literal shouting in the board room when it premiered. kennedy made them undo it all in the first episode of season 2. she's fucking cancer.
Filoni and Favreau can't be trusted either.
i dunno. originally, when people were asking filoni about it in interviews, he was giggling like a school girl saying he can't talk about it. then there's one interview that was on youtube where he finally did admit it.
doomcock reported on the fighting in the board room, and filoni didn't disavow it, while admitting some of it was true.
and then we got season 2 where they undid it all, and filoni massively cut his interviews.
and (((favreau))) has surprisingly not been much of a message pusher. he's generally avoided all politics, and even told RDJ and don cheadle to tone it back at one point. even gina carano's shit, he avoided even commenting on it, until they baited her into some troll argument on jews and she took the bait.
That she is. At this point I just stick with ore Disney Star Wars. I’m really enjoying going through the old EU. Been reading it since 92 but there is still quite a bit I haven’t read. Disney Star Wars fans will always throw it in my face that it isn’t canon and I’m like so what.
But thanks for confirming that rumor. I heard Favreau hated how they treated Luke in ST and so did Lucas. Wouldn’t surprise me if Filoni to redeem him
Call Me Chato reviewed the first episode from a Producer's POV, it is as bad as it we thought it would be.
I just discovered him. Really good
