There are so many new Star Wars projects that are being announced that I figured it was time to start a thread. I'll update accordingly.

JON FAVREAU TO EXECUTIVE PRODUCE AND WRITE LIVE-ACTION STAR WARS SERIES. THE DIRECTOR OF IRON MAN AND THE JUNGLE BOOK WILL HELM THE SERIES FOR DISNEY’S NEW DIRECT-TO-CONSUMER PLATFORM.

Lucasfilm is excited to announce that Emmy-nominated producer and actor Jon Favreau has signed on to executive produce and write a live-action Star Wars series for Disney’s new direct-to-consumer platform. Favreau is no stranger to the Star Wars galaxy having played roles in both the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series and in the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story.

“I couldn’t be more excited about Jon coming on board to produce and write for the new direct-to-consumer platform,” says Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. “Jon brings the perfect mix of producing and writing talent, combined with a fluency in the Star Wars universe. This series will allow Jon the chance to work with a diverse group of writers and directors and give Lucasfilm the opportunity to build a robust talent base.”

Favreau is thrilled to be returning to the Star Wars galaxy: “If you told me at 11 years old that I would be getting to tell stories in the Star Wars universe, I wouldn’t have believed you. I can’t wait to embark upon this exciting adventure.”

Disney’s collaborations with Favreau extend back a decade, when he helped launch the Marvel Cinematic Universe as director of Iron Man and Iron Man 2 and as an executive producer of the Iron Man and Avengers films for Marvel Studios. For Disney, he directed and produced the massively successful The Jungle Book, which won an Academy Award for its groundbreaking visual effects. He is currently in production on Disney’s highly anticipated reimagining of The Lion King, set for release in 2019.

The untitled Star Wars live-action series does not yet have a release date.

GAME OF THRONES CREATORS DAVID BENIOFF AND D.B. WEISS TO WRITE AND PRODUCE A NEW SERIES OF STAR WARS FILMS

David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are going from Winterfell to a galaxy far, far away.

It was announced today that Benioff and Weiss, creators of the smash-hit, Emmy Award-winning television series Game of Thrones, will write and produce a new series of Star Wars films.

These new films will be separate from both the episodic Skywalker saga and the recently-announced trilogy being developed by Rian Johnson, writer-director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

“David and Dan are some of the best storytellers working today,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. “Their command of complex characters, depth of story and richness of mythology will break new ground and boldly push Star Wars in ways I find incredibly exciting.”

“In the summer of 1977 we traveled to a galaxy far, far away, and we’ve been dreaming of it ever since,” Benioff and Weiss said in a joint statement. “We are honored by the opportunity, a little terrified by the responsibility, and so excited to get started as soon as the final season of Game of Thrones is complete.”

No release dates have been set for the new films, and there have (thankfully) been no sightings of White Walkers around Lucasfilm.

LUCASFILM // NOVEMBER 9, 2017

RIAN JOHNSON, WRITER-DIRECTOR OF STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI, TO CREATE ALL-NEW STAR WARS TRILOGY

For director Rian Johnson, Star Wars: The Last Jedi was just the beginning of his journey in a galaxy far, far away.

Lucasfilm is excited to announce that Johnson will create a brand-new Star Wars trilogy, the first of which he is also set to write and direct, with longtime collaborator Ram Bergman onboard to produce.

As writer-director of The Last Jedi, Johnson conceived and realized a powerful film of which Lucasfilm and Disney are immensely proud. In shepherding this new trilogy, which is separate from the episodic Skywalker saga, Johnson will introduce new characters from a corner of the galaxy that Star Wars lore has never before explored.

“We all loved working with Rian on The Last Jedi,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. “He’s a creative force, and watching him craft The Last Jedi from start to finish was one of the great joys of my career. Rian will do amazing things with the blank canvas of this new trilogy.”

“We had the time of our lives collaborating with Lucasfilm and Disney on The Last Jedi,” Johnson and Bergman said in a joint statement. “Star Wars is the greatest modern mythology and we feel very lucky to have contributed to it. We can’t wait to continue with this new series of films.”

Johnson’s upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrives in U.S. theaters on Dec. 15, 2017.

No release dates have been set for the new films, and no porgs were available for comment.

Welp, looks like I'll just pretend this series never existed since I've not started it yet.

I'm going to go catch up on the Bad Batch show.

Just watch the Critical Drinker's reviews of the episodes. They're 50 times more entertaining than the episodes themselves..

As strange as this sounds, I get more entertainment from trainwreck Star Wars than good Star Wars.

YouTube reviewers FTW. I wish Red Letter Media would chime in. :-)

Did you ignore the massive success of The Mandalorian and Andor?

It's not like those shows DON'T HAVE female characters.

The animated Star Wars shorts are more interesting than this dreck.

I'm sick that Star Wars has become a platform for feminazi ideals.

WE DON'T NEED MEN!

Yeah, your show is only around because of men. Idiots.
That's what I don't understand. Your target audience should be predominantly male. The average woman has zero interest in Star Wars.

It's the same reason The Marvels was one of the biggest flops in Disney history.

Imagine if they tried to make a Barbie sequel, but title it Ken, and market it more towards boys/men. How would that work out?

Fucking morons.

Not her ego. Spite.

George Lucas talked down to her all the time. He saw her as a secretary/note taker.



She is destroying his baby.

I continue to have no sympathy for Darth Lucas. Before he SOLD his baby for a shit ton of money that he obviously didn't need since he already had a shit ton of money, he was doing a bang-up job destroying it himself. Just because this new stuff is horrific woke shit, it doesn't mean his final contributions to Star Wars weren't regular old shit.

Everything that has happened to this franchise is ultimately on him. If he doesn't like it anymore than we do, he has no one to blame for it but the jowly guy reflected in his diamond and gold encrusted mirror.

Just saw this on my FB feed. Here's a movie I'd pay to see in the theater.

Flipping between Sunday Night Football and the shitfuck sequels on TNT. My God, they're just.....worse, somehow, than I remember. Just. SO. Bad. VFX are top shelf as you'd expect from ILM, but the rest? Sweet Jesus.

If ever there was irrefutable evidence that Legends need to be brought into Canon, these sequels (and a good chunk of the Disney+ crap) are absolutely it.
