Full Series Future Star Wars animated projects to be produced by Disney TV division not Lucasfilm.

No more Failoni?

 

Damn... I really liked TCW crew. If Disney doesn't release the "bonus content", I will make sure they wish that they had never bought LucasFilm... For goodness sakes, it's already been made, and TCW crew have put all their time, effort and money into producing them, now what was the point of Disney buying Star Wars if all their gonna do is get rid of everything to do with it? I mean seriously... What's next? "Oh yeah, sorry guys, the sequel trilogy has been cancelled..." I wouldn't be surprised...

 

Well, I don't think they'll be canceling the sequel trilogy. Disney seems to want to just cancel everything BUT the sequel trilogy. I agree though, it'd be an incredibly stupid move if Disney didn't release the already-finished episodes.

 

Needless to say, I'm bitterly disappointed with Disney's reckless decision. Star Wars: The Clone Wars is what got me back into Star Wars. I was really hoping that we'd at least get a follow-up to the series, perhaps set during the Dark Times. But with the disbanding of the team, it seems unlikely at this point...

 

I think what is scariest is we might be seeing the beginning of the end of Lucasfilm as a separate company. My theory is that the company will totally be dissolved before the release of EP7. All the trends are pointing to Disney erasing Star Wars history. I can only assume that means erasing Lucasfilm as well.

Once the PT and TCW eras are erased, Lucasfilm is totally disbanded, Disney will be free to make Star Wars in it's image as it sees fit.

 

Some people say reckless, I say shrewd. Disney wants to clamp down on their new baby, and that means trimming the fat.

 

Warner Brothers should buy it back off Disney, I bet they wouldn't mess everything up.

 

On top of that there's nothing to suggest the writing team has been disbanded. Writers by their nature aren't tied down to a company, they're freelance. Even Dave Filoni could still work on a new production, just as an employee of Disney TV Animation rather than Lucasfilm Animation.

 

Yeah, because Warner Brothers are going to be able to buy out their biggest competitor.

 

I never said that a sequel series needs the same team as before, just that with the disbanding of it, the prospect of a sequel to TCW is now unlikely.

Edit: Also, the writing team was never mentioned; it's the animation team that's getting affected.

 

What I find awesome is how the Lucas, Filoni, TCW and PT haters love the idea of erasing every possible trace of Star Wars all together because, you know, this stuff is so much better:



I didn't know it was humanly possible to live with that much spite

 

Disbanding the team of computer animators behind the project doesn't say a thing about what the new show is going to be or who is taking the creative reigns for the project. The people who aren't working on the franchise any more, the people who were full time employees of Lucasfilm Animation, are the people who work on the technical side of things, the people who put it to screen.

The writing staff for TCW are about as tied down to Lucasfilm Animation as the voice cast.

 

I was thinking more like this personally.

 

Yeah, I know that.

 

Has it been confirmed Filoni will not be leading the next series? I found this on his blog:
"I used to work for Disney. I’m not sure how many of you knew that. I was in the Television Animation Division, and I worked on projects like Teamo Supremo, Kim Possible, Lilo and Stitch: The Series, Dave the Barbarian, and Fillmore. It was an amazing time for me as an animation artist. Walking around the studio lot and seeing the influence that Walt Disney himself had on every aspect of his studio. When I started at Lucasfilm I saw that same attention to detail everywhere around me, and it all came directly from George."

You mean cancelled after 19 episodes? That's way better than the 100+ episodes that TCW gave us.

Even in a bizarre world where that would even be in the same league of TCW, just the idea that Disney it's self had no faith in the show should worry you. TCW had PROVEN success and proven viewers (2 to 3 million on the season finale). If with that Disney did not want to keep it. Disney goes through shows like toilet paper, whether they are good or not.

Again, TCW haters should still be worried. If Disney will do this to a popular show, just think what they can and will do to everything else...

 

Again, as I stated on the previous page, Tron was cancelled thanks to what many blame on bad scheduling. We are judging the quality of the work here, not the quantity. And if you are getting the two things mixed up then by your own logic the last season of The Clone Wars was pants.

Also the past two seasons got an average viewership of 1.6 million, which isn't that popular for Disney networks.
