So... Han Solo Wannabe: The Series? Following FAKE Han Solo: The Movie, that failed? Seems like a very ill-advised choice.

FYI, without that video link there, I would have had no idea "Cassian Andor" was a character in Rogue One.

bingo. strar wars series about characters no one even remembers or cares about.

Yep.

Only good thing about this being a thing is they can work to retroactively make Rogue One a more interesting story.

So if I have this correct

we have

Episode 1
Episode 2
The Clone Wars
Episode 3
Solo
Rebels
Cassian
Rogue One
Episode 4
Episode 5
Episode 6
Mandalorians
Resistence
Episode 7
Episode 8
Episode 9


Did I miss anything?

Dignity. Among some of those entries. But that looks about right. And I don't remember anyone saying the 2 Ewok movies (which would be after RotJ) don't count. The 2nd one actually had balls. And given Lucas' involvement, the general "Shadows of the Empire" probably ought to still stand, too, right between TESB and RotJ.

Yeah the Trilogy that Rian Johnson is working on. I don't know where it'll fit in with those. Since this new Trilogy won't have anything to do with the Skywalkers. And be set in some other part of the galaxy. And there is also the movies that the creators of Game of Thrones will be working on as well.

Well the Ewok movies are no longer in continuity but before Disney Star Wars they were meant to take place before ROTJ officially but it creates a continuity problem since Widget learns English which he doesn't know in ROTJ. The fix is that he didn't actually learn English but another language which was just English for the audience. The ewok cartoon actually leads into ROTJ since one of the episodes has the empire finding the moon of Endor.

According to who? Disney said the EU was torn down. The Ewoks movies weren't EU.

Who the hell asked for more Cassian? Along with the rest of the RO characters, he was introduced entirely for the purpose of dying. And it's not even like with Obi-Wan who was an old man with an established past of being an overall badass and continued to have a role as a ghost, Cassian is just some Rebel assassin who could really only have operated for like 5 years.

Lucasfilm specifically mentioned that only the 6 films and Clone Wars were canon going forward. Yes, Shadows of the Empire as well.

They're stupid. Nobody should listen to them.

A Star Wars Universe where Shadows and KOTOR aren't canon, but TLJ is, is the absolute ass of all possible Star Wars Universes.

...AND WHAT ABOUT "DROIDS"?!?! Those idiots have no idea what's important.

That character doesn't really need a series of his own.

Looks like it's entered into production now:

Couldn't care less about it, honestly. A weird choice.

You cared enough to look up a two year old thread and post in it.

Rogue One was the last SW movie I watched. My opinion of it is that when I started writing this post, I couldn't even remember its name - let alone the names of its horrible characters - because it was so incredibly bland and unmemorable.

I keep forgetting to watch that one. All I ever hear anyone talk about is the Vader clip, which I've seen already.

Kinda hesitant. Even if it's "good", it's still Disney Star Wars, which I'd strongly prefer to disregard in its entirety. I'unno, maybe one day. "Not as bad as the other stuff" isn't very high praise.

Stra Wars Rogue One is pretty safe, doesn't do anything to piss you off but it also does nothing to excite you which is why no one remembers anything from the movie. Rogue one isn't bad, just forgettable.



The Vader scene is cool but doesn't make sense timeline wise since it's right before ANH. The villain in the movie is great as awesome as Tarkin but they gimped him when they added Vader and cut his scenes out, so you see the potential but instead if getting more we get Vader.

The robot was funny and there's a Force user who isn't a Jedi because they couldn't which hurts his character. I prefer the Kyle Katarn Dark Forces version of how they got the death star plans, it's more fun


Vicious :lol:

I still post about STD, don't I? And that's like rubbing cat piss in my eyes and ears.

See, that part has me curious. For example, despite being a big DC fan I find the CW shows to be trash so I simply don't watch them. Or like, I hated "The Last Jedi" enough to know that I didn't need to see "Rise of Skywalker" (because nothing, no matter how well-intentioned, can fix the mess that movie made), so even though I loved old Star Wars I know not to mess with NuStar Wars.

So I've probably asked this before, but if NuTrek stuff is all so terrible - and by almost all accounts, all of it really, really is - why would any self-respecting Trek fan torture themselves with it? Like, at what point does a person have to just walk away?

I sincerely doubt anyone persists in the hope that "It might get better". :lol:

Rogue One was a really good flick, but didn't think that Cassian Andor was all that great of a charcter and not overly interested in a series featuring him. I don't begrudge it though - I dunno maybe there are Cassian Andor fans?

It's really bad though. People hate TFA and I agree that it's the laziest script since Home Alone 2 but it had some fun action scenes and charismatic characters. Rogue One's got nothing, the story is boring, the characters are all completely forgettable and the scenes with Vader just make you wish you were watching the old movies. I'd also say that any Vader scene in the old trilogy was more badass than the ridiculously gratuitous fan service at the end of the movie.

Really? I thought Rogue One was supposed to be "the best one since Empire". Huh.

I guess people talk.

The best one since Empire was RotJ. I don't like to think about the rest. :lol:
I mean, I enjoyed Revenge of the Sith when it first came out but that one hasn't aged well.

Just watch it, you won't hate it, you'll just forget about it.

Right, there's not much to hate about it. But to me, that makes it even worse. I enjoy a really ****** movie but Rogue One is not that, it's nothing but a waste of time.

You watch it once, it doesn't set your world on fire and you forget it but it doesn't mess anything up in the story of ANH. TFA on the other hand might have cool things here and there that are memorable but the plot completely screws up the story of star wars.

It's a pointless movie and I'd rather it not exist but no harm is done to the franchise.

Pretty much this. In some ways it's visual eyecandy. In general I have a hard time remembering the names of any of the "crew" and I don't find myself caring much about them.

But the movie is entertaining in it's own way, and it's given us what was absolutely some of the best 2 minutes or so of Darth Vader on screen ever.

The showrunner is excited because the show will be political, and be about refugees:

https://www.darkhorizons.com/andor-s...cal-political/

Because, rebels fighting against quasi-faschists is not political enough, I guess?

What those mother****ers are smoking? Is anything should represent current American politics? What about the rest of the world? What about subtlety?

Oh, wait, I've forgotten we are talking about talentless hacks, who are trying to make their name by either inserting political message of their own or just trying to change franchise as a whole to "leave a trace of their (worthless) existence".

And if even then you don't like it, it's because they didn't explain it to you properly.

I'm agreeing with you. For goodness sake.

Honestly, I’d be more surprised if it wasn’t political.

Viewership is super low on the show and keeps going lower:

https://www.darkhorizons.com/andor-v...is-rather-low/

I don't get people's fascination with Andor. It has very little in it that makes it feel like Star Wars and it's boring as hell.

Yeah, I can't really wrap my head around anyone watching Rogue One and then saying, "You know what I want, prequels for the characters that all died in it."

Movie was OK, I guess. No part of me ever really wanted to revisit it.

Rogue One was a decent movie. t least I can say it was much better than any of the Sequels, but tonally it was an extreme departure from everything which made Star Wars, well, Star Wars.

I don't understand fascination of some people with spin-offs, which take established universe into completely different tone, but, whatever.

Star Wars is doing what Star Trek has done going way too far into the "prequel" world at this point.

Not every franchise needs to follow this now formulaic "prequel" release thing. It worked for Star Wars Episodes 1-3 because there was decades of conversation about who Darth Vader was and his rise. The prequels (good or bad) bordered on a holy account of things for that Universe.

But that opened the door for "prequel mania". Star Trek has now almost 100% been mired in prequels since the year 2001. With the exception of the "Rey" films, Star Wars has as well.

Prequels about Darth Vader not only mattered to canon, but to the hearts of fans. Nobody gives a flying $#!( about "Cassian Andor". :roll: There is no reason to tap the prequel well for that.

I've watched the 7 eps so far and while you can tell the production values are above Boba-Fett/Obi-wan, the show is sadly kinda boring to me. It's basically Star Wars without the "fun" so to speak. I went into this with an open mind but it's not really doing it for me besides a few select scenes here and there.

I'll watch the rest of it as it airs to see where it goes, but it's not something I'll rewatch years later.

Yeah, wtf. Especially with Star Trek it's like... let's boldly go... back to where we already went 50 years ago? Even on the same ship? Why?

With Star Wars, there is the unfortunate situation the sequel trilogy left Star Wars in, in that nobody cares to see new stories that take place after it.
