TV Discussion Rangers of the New Republic

The way the Variety article is phrased does make it seems like the show is shelved indefinitely tho. They cite several Mando spin offs mentioning BoBF and Ahsoka and then mention that Rangers isn't being worked on with parentheses. Does make it sound like only Boba and Ahsoka are relevant anymore the way that it's being phrased.

 

This show never sounded compelling to me in the first place, so can't say I'm disappointed that it's cancelled. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think the world-building in Mandalorian has been very good, there is little sense as to how the New Republic is different from the Old Republic or Empire, the story could easily be taking place pre-ROTJ and little would be different.

Maybe they could have done a better job setting the stage with Rangers, but I think the better course would be to make a feature film or two in the post-ROTJ NR setting first.

 

Yeah but it's not cancelled.

 

Not cancelled, just not having any further development other than a rough outline written nearly a year ago and no schedule when any further development will begin...

 

i think 23-24 is when this gets out.

 

I bet it won't be worked on until in a year.

 

With BoBF, Mando 3, Andor, and Obi Wan on the horizon, not really a big deal.

 

Indeed, and it seems unlikely that when they sat down with their vision Boba Fett was not such a big part of it. Now they have the Mandalorian, TBOBF and Ahsoka all interweaving to end with the big ending (which I would guess would have been in ROTNR anyway). ROTNR is not cancelled, just low priority as it is a few years away now (especially with TBOBF pushing things back).

 

BOBF, Mando 3 and Ahsoka will likley come out before Rangers.

 

And Acolyte, and Rogue Squadron, and Jedi Fallen Order 2, and every other Star Wars project until the sun explodes.

 

yeah most likley the last show right up there with Lando in late 2023.

 

That's what ''not being in active development'' means tho it means they aint working on it on any level at all.

 

It's an educated opinion.

Variety announce upcoming projects but do they say everytime when they're shelved or on hiatus, not that ROTNR has been shelved? I remember when LFL released KOTCS, Variety announced Allan Quartermain and the Jewel of the East with Richard Chamberlain returning in the title role. As far as I'm aware Variety has never followed up to say it was shelved.... no doubt after Indy 5 it may once again be speculated on.

 

I am much more willing to trust Hollywood reporter or variety or deadline over literally any other leaks. Half the time they probably leaks Lucasfilm gave them explicitly.

 

Oh yeah sorry, misread your post

 

I knew with Carano gone from the project it would be a difficult sell as she was the face of the Rangers. Still we got Obi-Wan coming up and that could be the biggest series after the Mandalorian. Hopefully the book of boba is good and andor is decent.

 

I give up, I really do.

 

The moment people see Cobb Vanth: Ranger of the New Republic, they'll forget all about Cara Dune if they haven't already. Or bring Iden Versio in as a lead character.

 

I have a feeling that it's being reworked into something else.

Anyone else?

 

Frankly I want Sun-Hyung Lee and Dave Filoni bored X-Wing jockeys blowin stuff up before this one.

 

Or make a wholly new character. This isn’t that hard. If Rangers was important to the overall plan it will happen. Carano being gone won’t stop that.
