Here's what I think happened:
LucasFilm originally hired Stephen Daldry to write and direct a Star Wars spinoff movie for Obi-Wan Kenobi. Daldry then wrote a really kickass character-driven narratively-focused story about an older, grizzled Ewan McGregor who has to wrestle with his broken faith as he is, once more, confronted with the challenge of having to overcome and defeat his former padawan, Anakin Skywalker.
And then Solo: A Star Wars Story happened. And it flopped. And everyone at LucasFilm lost their everlasting shit. In this frenzied state of panic, Kathleen Kennedy immediately gave Daldry the axe and cancelled his beautiful film.
And then, a year and a half later, The Mandalorian happened. And it was a hit. A really,…
I’ll never forgive George Lucas for selling Lucasfilm to these cinematic universe mongers.
Nostalgia is a blight on film and television. This is a show that exists so people can go YOOOO BIG BABY BUNGO IS IN THIS EPISODE and call it a day
Update: finished the show, it still sucks
Wtf happened here? So dull and worse than that lazy. The production quality is flat out awful. Everything looks cheap and plastic at best and at worst, more in line with embarrassing fan film. This Volume shit has got to go. Not an ounce of texture in any of these locations. Insane how in just a few years Star Wars has been reduced from THE film franchise to something resembling a SyFy channel level series. Not that’s there’s not a place for those (I’m sure some people like them) but it’s just incredible the level of damage Disney has done to this series. No longer a must see. Everything is just lore building now. It doesn’t feel special anymore. The soul has been lost for awhile now but even before this they were at least made with a technical competence. McGregor still good and I really like Edgerton’s Uncle Owen but damn there’s no reason for this to exist.
If Anakin Skywalker has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Anakin Skywalker has only one fan then that's me. If Anakin Skywalker has no fans, then that means I am no longer alive. If the world is against Anakin Skywalker, then I am against the world.
A surprisingly effective recap (ie brilliant sizzle reel of episodes 1-3 that almost convinces you the prequels are worth watching) leads into Ewan McGregor Rey-In-Force-Awakens-ing around Tatooine (which is basically just Oddworld at this point) whilst young Leia traipses around in costumes and on sets that dare to ask the question "what could be more boring than Star Trek: Insurrection?"
Mostly horrific performances, tensionless action and an overactive score working to hold it all together. Expect more from your streamers.
this could’ve been a 4 and a half star movie. i am starting to hate everything about Disney+.
Love to cast some of the funniest people on the planet and not write jokes for them.
