[reflection01]

Could see a Knights of Ren series in which Ben features prominent in the first episode, a middle episode, and the season finale but isn’t the lead character.

8/18: Another blip about Thrawn showing up in live action.

8/19: I think it was mentioned before but Brie Larson hints she auditioned for the recent Star Wars movies that have come out in the last couple years.

Some comments from Kathleen Kennedy about the future of the franchise.

Daisy Ridley talked about Rey on Kimmel said, "at the beginning they were toying with an Obi-Wan connection...There were different versions and at one point she was no one... it kept changing."

So confirming what we thought - they had no plan and it changed movie to movie. For Ep. VII - it was decided she was Obi-Wan's granddaughter, Ep. VIII - she was no one's relation, and Ep IX - it was settled she was Palapatine's granddaughter.

Yeah, I will never forget the interview from episode 7 where she said "I thought it was obvious." At this point I honestly feel like Lucasfilm owes Lord & Miller an apology. It's like, at least they knew what they were doing.

Agreed and while it may not be likely, but I would like to see their cut of Solo being released.

Latest rumor/re-rumor is Mandalorian and Ahsoka will feature Captain Rex and Sabine Wren. Rex is portrayed by Morrison while an unknown will portray Wren.

I thought they were thinking on some female wrestler for Sabine. Which I can't personally see; but whatever.

Sasha Banks was base speculation bumped up to rumor to be back in May. Haven't heard anything else so probably just smoke.

Yeah, it pretty much is, so I rather wait until we get confirmation on who will play Sabine for this.

Entirely inexcusable in my mind. But hey, no problem, it's only Star Wars. Not a big entertainment property or anything....

Another rumor a series featuring a young Mace Windu is in development for Disney+.

9/13: Yes, please. That I can get behind.

9/30: Take with salt, but another Darth Bane rumor has come up but this time it's multiple projects including a solo title.

Well, at least Disney's Lucasfilm are trying to go back to the source. I mean there's a wealth of material that should be explored. They were so consumed with the merchandise and brand of Star Wars and getting their own stuff in there to get ALL of that money.

Part of me wonders if Lucas still receives kickbacks to this day on certain things. Reasoning why Disney doesn't want to go back much at all, instead of major details on major characters.

Hopefully SHE is not a part of the future of the franchise.

Gary Whitta teased there's a Star Wars announcement of some sort next week.

Rather than say definitively they knew what they were doing, I believe they should've been allowed to finish the movie. I doubt what they created would've been much worse that Ron Howard's fairly bland and murky take.

It's 2020 and she's still there. All the armchair experts like Grace Randolph and Geeks & Gamers who were predicting her firing or dismissal were wrong. So, I wouldn't hold my breath for her to leave.

Frankly, I liked the theatrical cut of Solo and honestly, I preferred the Anthology films over the sequel trilogy in terms of the Disney era films during the second half of the last decade.

She mishandled Solo (firing Lord and Miller and hiring Ron Howard in their place after much of the movie had already been shot), and she mishandled Rise of Skywalker (firing Colin Trevorrow (who had great ideas for his film btw) and re-hiring a tired and mentally spent JJ Abrams only weeks before production of ROS began. She is NOT good for the franchise, mark my words. But if you don't believe me, stay tuned for future gaffes.

Bob Iger and Alan Horn have responsibility for these choices and actions as well. Secondly, she produced The Mandalorian and hired Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau to work on the show...so...whatever.

I didn't hate it, but again, I see no reason Lord and Miller needed to be fired and just finish the movie.
