A/V "Star Wars: A Kevin Feige Joint"

A High Republic movie would almost be worth it for the explosion of YouTube anger alone.

 

This must be fake news, as I was assured by fans that the Feige film had been stealth-cancelled because Disney wasn't constantly talking about it?

Looking forward to this and all the other film projects down the line, but like I said in the RS thread I'm enjoying the break from having to go to the theater to enjoy live-action Star Wars and I'm in no hurry to return. Hopefully this break will continue for at least a few more years, followed by a whole bunch of great films!

 

The actual story that the internet is losing its crap over:

If asked to direct a SW movie, Chloe Zhao wouldn't say no to it.

Cue internet explosion.

 

He is a producer but he comes up with the general idea/shape of where the MCU can go. ie. The writers were working on Captain America 3 until he popped his head into their office and told them they were doing Civil War. He picks the projects that other people do but certainly what he picks and what he says it'll be about have a creative influence. So whatever this project is, it's a good assumption he had the initial idea that other people pitch/flesh out/make.

 

His role at Marvel is basically what toxic fans think Kathleen Kennedy's role at Lucasfilm is.

 

Thank you yes!

Honestly i think we gotta stop comparing Marvel to Star Wars in terms of the Models they are using.

MCU is essentially a mega billion dollar TV Series that's been going on for 4 seasons (Each phase is a season)

Star Wars ....Well the only good comparison I have right now is essentially just doing what the EU did but with Movies and TV now added. Telling stories in various parts of the timelines and they all connect in that they exist in the same universe and tell a overacting story when you put it all together.

 

Closet thing we have to the Marvel Model in Star Wars is Mandoverse at the moment

 

The challenge of how to set a series apart from the MCU applies across the board, with both SW and DC trying various strategies, with DC having more success in TV.

 

Star Wars should theoretically work like the MCU with sub-franchises etc, and Mandalorian is kinda doing that right now, but not sure if general moviegoing audience has accepted that bit yet. It may be that while we can wrap our heads around constant prequel and timeline jumping it's actually mildly complex and offputting to other audience members. (aside from some instances, MCU is basically just onward and forward one after another and only when you get into the timeline continuity weeds that you can see where they land but ultimately it doesn't have much of an effect on trying to figure it out which Star Wars can be like)

I find myself having to explain to my sister every once in awhile where this particular piece of Star Wars media lands in the timeline and she sort of begrudgingly accepts it, but would probably by lost without an assistant hahaha.

 

From what iv'e heard as well Lucasfilm itself just operates a bit more like a normal studio does then say Marvel.

Hire Director and Writer with a pitch and develop the movie from there.

From what I've heard from Marvel they tend to develop scripts a lot more internally and then hand it over to a director who can make changes and give a basic pitch but within the limits of the MCU

If anything Lucasfilm tends to go for a more creator driven process then a internal in-house one.

 

of course I may be putting too much weight on the box office performance of Solo based upon the audience's tolerance for Star Wars to jump around the timeline. (everyone sorta easily figured out Rogue One was a prequel to the original Star Wars but even some people probably thought it was Force Awakens Part II). Personally, I just think Disney put Solo on a terrible spot on the release scheduled crammed in between weekly blockbusters. They shoulda moved the dang movie to August when literally the top grossing films were freakin' Meg and Crazy Rich Asians.

 

I still say Solo would have been served better if it was in December, i think the whole jumping around thing honestly may not be as big a deal as we fans make it out to be, i think general audiences are smarter then we give them credit for.

 

Your probably always gonna have a bit of that timeline problem, but i like to think audiences are smarter and as more time goes on realizes that Star Wars likes to jump around it's timeline.

 

I think the audience has no problem tracking stuff over multiple time periods, so long as LFL / Disney do the minimum of communication in showing how the pieces line up.

I get the sense they tend to assume a higher level of fan involvement than tends to actually be so.

 

This has not been the week for star wars scoopers.
It has been the week to watch star wars scoopers eat it.
Yeah, eat it scoopers

So this... isn't a thing?

And probably never was?

 

No because Michael Waldron said this week that he was writing for the Kevin Feigie Star Wars fid this week as well.

 

He's writing for a film that Kathleen Kennedy said doesn't exist?
