New Star Wars TV & Film Repository
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.
--- Today, it was announced that Jon Favreau will Executive Produce and Write a new Star Wars Live Action series set for Disney's new Streaming Service. http://www.starwars.com/news/jon-fav...ar-wars-series March 8, 2018 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. ---- http://www.starwars.com/news/game-of...tar-wars-films ILMS // FEBRUARY 6, 2018 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. ----- http://www.starwars.com/news/rian-jo...r-wars-trilogy 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. |

I almost pointed out how they showed Windu surviving a mile long fall on Coruscant in one of those early Clone Wars animated sequences but figured it would be a massive stretch to even assume he survived Palpatine's ULTIMATE POWER moment. But I don't think it would be out of the realm of possibility to assume they'd do it with their efforts to fan service on the various shows these days.

I find it odd that Disney refuses to step into the future with their new Star Wars productions, with the exception of the abortions IIV->IX . Due to those failures we're stuck with prequels based on known characters that are extremely lazy and predictable.
Hell, I'd be fine if there was a something where they went waaay back in history, where we didn't have any initial connection with the characters, but no. Instead we get - Disney: "Here's a new show about a beloved character who you've seen die in a previous Star Wars production. Audience: Jeez Louise. Enough of that shit! Biden: Awww, C'mon man! Disney: But wait! There are 3 new characters you've never heard of" Audience: "Oooooooo" Disney: "They all die" Audience: "That's ****ing awesome!!!!11!!!!1!!!!!". |

its science fiction. Think of all the stuff that’s happened previously. A Jedi, one of the best ever, can’t stop a fall before splatting? Come back as a Jedi ghost? Come on….. there’s money to be made in fan service.

Mace Windu being alive makes infinitely more sense than Reva surviving being impaled twice by Vader. At this point I think we can assume that anybody who wasn't completely beheaded in front of us like Jango Fett, is probably still alive.
