Ⅿ- Mandalorian Series!

[BigSteelThrill 5,359]

OCTOBER 1 2018 --- Movie cancelled?   Solo was considered so bad that the Bobba Fett and Obi-wan stand alone movies have been axed.

 

 

As mentioned in the Solo thread... BOBA FETT to get his own stand alone movie.

They will likely retcon part of his story.

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/boba-fett-star-wars-story-232129769.html

The galaxy’s baddest bounty hunter is finally ready to get his time to shine. With Solo blasting into theaters this weekend, there’s news that his sometime nemesis (and fan favorite) Boba Fett is going to get a Star Wars Story of his very own.

The Hollywood Reporter says that James Mangold, the Oscar-nominated writer-director of last year’s Wolverine swan song, Logan, is in the midst of developing a standalone feature about the Mandalorian mercenary.

Solo and Fett are the two most of us would want to see. Others don't really have the same draw. 

Maybe a young Yoda could be interesting. Young emperor has some potential, but that's about it.

[Yankee23Fan 9,299]

Maybe a young Luke? Could see him as a teenager always looking for something more while stuck on desert planet or something.  Show us how he learned the force. 

That might be good.

Let me guess. You're one of those folks that think 1 exhibition game and an 18 games regular season NFL games is just "too much" meaningful football. Amiright?

The worst Star Wars movie(yes, I'm talking about Episode 1) is still better than the best Transformer, or Smurf, or random bag-o-crap that Hollywood puts out. Even that last Avenger movie was borderline unwatchable imo. Those super hero movies have a worse batting average than portly relief pitcher if you ask me.

 If you have no interest in a Chewbacca or Yoda movie..... just don't go to it. That was always my response to people that thought lengthening the NFL season somehow watered down the games. Instead of ignoring the 4 exhibition games at the top of the schedule just ignore the first two regular season games and you're good.

I am really looking forward to the Obiwan story myself.  It is suppose to be set after he goes to Tatooine and hopefully will star Ewan McGregor.

it was in the first post of this thread.

Plot details are under wraps but would, like Solo, be set between the events of Revenge of the Sith and the original Star Wars, A New Hope, just like the other Star Wars Story in development, a film centering on Obi-Wan Kenobi and helmed by Stephen Daldry.

Unless I'm misremembering SW4, Luke didn't do a whole lot as a kid. Seemed to be bored.

to each their own but imo the first transformers movie was much better than SW1, the most recent avengers and most of the MCU are better than any but the original SW trilogy.

And I don’t think Boba (and Jango) were actually Mandalorians.

Didn't we already see that? 

The way Hollywood has been acting these last few years we'll probably get a dozen Vader movies, but the character seems sufficiently developed in the first 6 and clone wars.

Yeah, I can't disagree there. Many of us would view RoJ much different if created today than we did when we were 7.

According to wiki, Jango claimed he was born on Concord Dawn which was a Mandalorian world.

I am unsure if this is canon any more though or got swept with the great purge.

We saw him kill a bunch of rebels in a ship.  That’s about it.  We didn’t even get to see him wipe out the temple.  We get bits and pieces.  I’d like to see the whole “hunt down and kill the Jedi” that’s talked about.  But I doubt we ever see a movie about that - I’m guessing 2 hours of murderous rampaging isn’t Star Wars-y.

I think that’s all we have - he claims it.  The Mandalorians claim he’s a fraud. IIRC, the Mandalorians disavow him in The Clone Wars. 

ETA - it would be cooler if he was a rogue Mandalorian as opposed to some dude in a stolen suit.

I agree with everything you wrote here, except the avenger movie, which ruled. 

[[scooter] 14,071]

They tried to tell the Boba Fett story in the prequels, and it sucked.

Anyway, I think they should rely heavily on the origin story that was presented on the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special.

I think Jango was.  I can't say for Boba's story since I have not seen it yet.  I think there is a lot of room for good stuff with Mangold writing it.  He can give it that dark edge needed for a merc character as the star.

This x 1,000.  Ewan's even the perfect age right now to play Obi-Wan a few years after he dropped Luke off.  If there's anyone out there who doesn't want to see Obi-Wan heading out on some undercover mission where he for some reason gets to lightsaber and mind-trick his way across the galaxy while erasing all traces of his visit, with a bonus scene of him communing with Force Ghost Qui-Gon and of course huddling telepathically or otherwise with Yoda, here we must part company.  If they get the Rogue One writers or someone with similar skill they can even add to the overall story and/or clear up some Lucas boners like supplying some explanation why Vader never went looking for his kid with the same name on his home planet "hiding" with people he knew.

Not sure if you're being serious or funny, because that is funny.  But if you're serious . . . . Even though I happen to have enjoyed the heck out of the prequel trilogy (mostly for seeing Jedi in their prime), while that is possible, there's zero evidence that any Jedi, even Obi-Wan,  could do that to another person, let alone a Jedi as strong as Anakin, with such long-lasting effects.  And even if I did buy that, that fails to explain how the entire rest of what became the Empire, including a Sith lord who headed it, also neglected to sort out what was up on Vader's home planet with any little kid about the right age to have been delivered by Vader's very pregnant wife.  Sporting the same last name and living with known relatives.  An Obi-Wan movie could actually provide a credible explanation for all this, which would be a nice bonus.

Yes I obviously consider Star Wars and football to be comparable. 

 

Do we really need 3 quarters of play? Let them play 15 minutes and be done with it.

You’re probably right.  I would be more than happy with a cartoon.  But it has to be on the level with Clone Wars and not Rebels.  Rebels was too kiddie - this would have to be dark.

I don't get it.  Cool getup and all, but a standalone film?  Dude had like 3 minutes of screen time across the original trilogy.

Wrong. First the suit. Loaded with so many gadgets, James Bond is jealous. Second, Jango squared off one on one against a Jedi with a little boy in tow. That's a big set of brass ones right there and he got the better of the fight (with a little help from an 8 year old and a spaceship). The only non force user that has come close is Finn against Kylo, but in the Wussification of Kylo Ren - er, I mean Episode VII, Ren was a chump by the end. Jango and Obi Wan - Mano a Mano - on the landing pad in a driving rain storm. We got to see the jetpack in action and the two gun rig as well as Slave 1 bringing some heat. Fett's are not boring. They are Mandalores.
