JCC Embrace The FU - Formerly the STAR WARS IS BAD thread

Empire picked the right time but the wrong guy.

Say Padme…

 

I skipped this celebration having attended the last one, but I might go to the next depending where it is.
It's an excuse to go somewhere new.

I doubt there will be much to announce though, there will be a trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu no doubt and whatever new animated show is happening but that's about it I would expect.
What else is in production that they can showcase?

 

Maybe Ahsoka S2?

 

Maybe instead of asking if they CAN showcase Ashoka S2, they should ask if they SHOULD showcase Ashoka S2.

 

why don't they do more documentaries? there's still tons of stuff in the Lucasfilm archive to mine, people are still alive to be interviewed etc.

 

Maybe instead of asking if they CAN do more documentaries, you should ask if they SHOULD do more documentaries.

 

Take inspiration from the EU and do a full length documentary broken up into 10 minute segments about the life story of every single extra in Jabba Palace.

 

Ken Burns style doc about the Battle of Jakku.

 

[Ahsokan Farewell plays]

My dearest Mar'ga'ret,

I fear I shall not live to see you again. The battle does not go well. Grand General Trebor Le'e's forces have begun to encircle us and Admiral Ackbar is days away...

 

I would pay money to see this.

 

Maybe you SHOULD.

 

Possibly, but how much has actually been filmed that they can show?

 

Unknown. Maybe enough for a small teaser with a release date would be nice.

Obviously, the two huge things they'll be hyping up will be the release of Andor on D+ which happens 2 days after Celebration ends and of course the Mando/Grogu movie.

Animation wise - We will definitely get a trailer and a release date for Visions Volume 3. Also during the 20th anniversary animation panel, it says "sneak peek at what's to come" so maybe a new animated show in 2026.

Skeleton Crew s2 would be a very big surprise if announced.

Here's the list of panels for anyone interested

Unless they publish again a 2.5 bn $ world wide movie they can do whatever they want. No one except of some few people would care. We will see it on the numbers of Andor 2. The brand is dead and Mando + Grogu fanservice will not change this. They have no long term vision, their productions lack quality and the GA lost interest. The only people still watching this crap are YouTubers, so they can destroy it. I think some of them might even have more viewers than the actual LF show. In addition Disney is continuing ruining the reputation of itself with garbage like Snow White and mediocre (at best) Marvel productions with the result that an actual very good show as DD Born Again lands with 7,5 m / 5d viewership. Sounds much? Agatha crap had 9 m+.
Disney and LF needs a radical leadership, creative direction and marketing change.
