A/V AHSOKA Lit Thread - All Spoilers Under TAGs!

They never gave it a release date and neither have they said it was canceled so yes...it is still happening

 

Detours hasn't been officially canceled either.

 

well this is a big live action show,so.

 

I’m pretty sure Jordan mason pointed out that rangers is also another show being done by Dave and John so I mean they are kinda busy. I’m sure they will get round to it at some Point.

 

schrodinger's cancelled

Which seems to be a lucasfilm/disney thing. Nothing ever gets canned, just push else where.

 

This is likley their last show to do, and they won't cancel it.

 

You're overlooking that they can announce a new show whenever they want.

 

I just think the whole they cancelled Rangers thing is just one of those things fans have taken out of proportion

 

So given that i still think this is all leading to a big Heir to the Empire like scenario with each show introducing a certain element of the Trilogy

In my mind Book of Boba is adding in the Criminal Underworld element that was part of the OG TTT

My guess is Ashoka more or less adds the Force/Darkside element to it as well not only in case of Thrawn but the dark side elements ala whoever the equivalent of C'boath will be.

 

Yes it could be that, hence the "Rangers" part, or maybe it's just a SpecOps group that has a lot of liberties to protect the Republic as they see fit, something like that, but either way we will get expansion on the reign of the New Republic and how the Military structure of it works kinda, regardless of the protagonist being part of it or not.

 

See i don't really see any of these shows doing that sorta deep dive at all really.

Maybe a good tie-in novel...if that's allowed.

 

Hahhaha well i'm not expecting anything too deep, just showcasing some New Republic Military forces doing their job and how they relate to the "Rangers" maybe have some tension there.

That would be great, more tie-in novels for the post-ROTJ era shows to keep expanding the time period, but of course there's the issue of the Story Group not wanting to "get in the way" of the shows, much like what happened with the ST, i feel they will keep the tie-ins to the minimum if we're being realistic.

I could be wrong, though.

 

Yep, US TV is awash with the corpses of announced then axed series.

I dunno, jurisdiction and agency politics are pretty much hard wired into a lot of US TV output, especially cop procedurals. A SW riff on that could work better than you might expect.

As to other mediums linking in, that might be changing with the recognition that the shows are telling contained, compact stories that are easier to get around and plan for.

 

IDK why but i always guessed that Rangers was like the Star Wars equivalent of Suicide Squad but maybe the characters are less villainous per say.

 

I was thinking it might end up being a little like Wraith Squadron. The squadron that mainly ran ground missions to keep things in line. Making sure the Imperial Warlord of the Week doesn't get too rowdy.

It's a show like that that could make use of Donald Glover and Alden Ehrenreich... if it's based just a few years after ROTJ, might as well use those actors for cameos in a few episodes.

 

Kinda ironic how we're all clamoring for a "Warlord of the Week" storyline, when people were sick of that sort of story in the late 90's.

Times change.

 

I honestly doubt those two are gonna be appearing in any of the Mandoverse stuff

To be fair I kinda don't really want that either, i much prefer this streamlined way of doing it then just getting a bunch of Warlords. We've already got Gideon and we're about to get the ultimate Imp Remnant leader Thrawn at this point.

 

Some people are clamoring for it. Though if you compare the timeline of the two EU's they are at about the same spot.

 

That's fair, but i wouldn't mind at least another Warlord to have around other than Gideon, not just because of the "nostalgia" of it, but because having smaller villains would build up Gideon and Thrawn since they wouldn't be as competent or threatening as those two.

At least that's how i see it, smaller Warlords help build up the big boys.

@AusStig True, we're in the Bantam Era of the New Canon! Or perhaps we should call it the "Mandoverse Era"?

 

I mean i just feel that it would get old real fast if every episode is "hey lets go to a planet and overthrow this Pro Imperial Dude" like sure it works in Suicide Squad but normally it's just one Warlord or govemrent they overthrow while dealing with issues.

And technically this Era is Called the "New Republic Era" but I so far prefer New Canon version because it's gonna have more tie in to Dark Empires unlike Bantam so that's a win for me.

 

Oh, not every episode of course, just that maybe in Rangers you have a different Warlord as the antagonist of the series that isn't Gideon or Thrawn, someone more like Daala, so that when they get to Gideon's last confrontation it becomes more apparent this guy is much more dangerous than all the other random Moffs or Admirals that appeared.

 

Depends on if Gideon isn't dealt with the end of the Mandalorian.

I guess one way they can do this is they deal with some timey Warlords, they own a planet or two, ragged looking Stormtroopers...Bascially Werner Herzog types.

Then maybe the whole thing leads to them hearing about whispers about stuff going on in the Unknown Regions but juuuuuuuuust as they are about to find out about the First Order, something happens cuz ....Sequel Trilogy gotta happen that stops them.

Or this could be the Event Series that has them deal with Thrawn ...that's option B.

 

I think people just want thrawn because they think it will be like it was when they first read it.

I mean you could have two episode or more arcs.
Even in Bantam, the big warlords (Daala, Isard, Zinj) all were there for more than one book. i mean one warlord even had a trilogy all about him.

 

Yeah but at the end of the day Thrawn sorta outshines them all he's the OT Imp Warlord and the one who is the most remembered by a wider audience.

 

Exactly, that's my point, the "Warlords of the Week" are only so when compared to the most important or menacing ones, not literally taken out in one episode or chapter lol.
