SPOILER: The Acolyte -- Disney+ Star Wars -- begins June 5, 2024

[MisterPenguin]

There’s been some rumblings from some SW scoopers that Ahsoka season two is actually not moving forward. We’ll see.

Ahsoka season 2 will likely see production once The Mandalorian & Grogu has wrapped filming, as both projects utilize the Volume technology and thus would likely have to compete for the space - and the creatives behind the project. Natasha Liu Bordizzo has recently confirmed this, implying Ahsoka will be filming in summer 2025. This would mean Ahsoka season 2 would likely release in 2026, continuing The Mandalorian & Grogu's ongoing story.

But it is still fun to watch.

I agree…but for me and the 4 other old guys that singled handedly ended Daisy Ridley’s career here in moms basement…

…a lot of the joy of the OT is deeply spurred by the time and place it hatched in

I’ll just go ahead and get out ahead of this:

That movie is gonna blow. Go ahead and scoff at me…just develop amnesia about it 5 years from now

The Mandalorian movie is an act of desperation.

Remember when they took the first four episodes of the Clone Wars and released it to theaters. Until Solo, it was the lowest Star Wars theatrical release. Critics hated it. It seems to me The Mandalorian & Gorgu movie might be the same thing. Just the first four episodes of Ahsoka.

It’s already played out. And episodic

Star Wars belongs in theaters…that much should be clear now.

But Mando really worked as a show…at first. But they didn’t really do anything with season three…kinda reversed everything in season 2…and went tangent from there.

But “classic” Disney Star Wars…they’re just gonna plow ahead when it doesn’t make any sense

…who’s “desperate”?

(That’s a trick question…every unit of the Walt Disney Company is)

 

[Tha Realest]

The Marvel Netflix series were still all done under Marvel Television, same as Agents of Shield, run by Jeph Loeb, even if they were put on Netflix. So they were still basically a linear show, just darker and grittier. It was all still run the same way as the ABC shows, and budgets were moderate, I think Daredevil came in around $3.3M per episode which was comparable to AoS.

So you basically just proved my point. Thanks

Your comment makes sense only if you ignore the earlier point you were trying to make and the conventional definition of linear television, but you keep doing you.

Except DCL. Oh wait - it’s the profit center of the parks and they’re suddenly tripling their fleet over the coming years

True…guess how long it will take them to strangle that goose?

In this case the show was created and run as a traditional linear show even though it was broadcast on a streaming platform.

Bad day/week/month/decade for Irish

Star Wars continues to sink…
…but even worse - that data link yesterday pulls the curtain back on the sacred unicorn of all Iger Disciples…Disney+

I’ll send tissues

I'm going to plant the flag of mando and grogu will not use the volume. From what Jon has said in interviews, this is a full big screen experience. And to me that's not the volume. The volume is great for something like a show or made for tv movie. But it absolutely isn't up to par for a feature film. I don't think this is the film that they reign in the budget.

This needs full blockbuster treatment. The worst thing they could do for this film would be, 1. Not have Mando and Grogu be the focus of the whole story. Don't Kenobi or Mando season 3 it. And 2. Cheap out on production. If this looks like the tv series just on the big screen, it's going to take a beating. This needs to hit big.

So just make it up, then?

I agree…

I just don’t see a compelling story there

I also see no one in San Francisco or Burbank capable of writing/finding/judging one.

 

[Disney Irish]

No, it was produced by Marvel Television which was the Television Division of Marvel run by Jeph Loeb prior to it coming under Marvel Studios under Feige. All their shows from the ABC shows, to Freeform, to Netflix, were all run the same way. The Netflix shows were not treated differently in terms of production, budget, etc., just because it was on Netflix. So for all intents and purpose they were linear shows, just happen to be on Netflix.

This is a film I'm going to try and stay positive. I've always been a fan of Favreau and I really liked season one and two of Mando. That said, this does have a slight panic feel from Disney. As if Iger was like, ok Kennedy, you need a film out to theaters, asap. So they chose this because it's by far the most bankable star wars thing they have.

Are they just rewriting season 4? Did they actually come up with a great idea and that's why it leap frogged everything else? There's definitely some questions there that could be of concern. This movie started filming a month ago and we don't really have the slightest idea of what we will see. All we know is "new adventure". Are they just kind of making it up as they go, just like George did. Or is there actually an idea there.

Just to reaffirm: so spending 5x as much for a shorter stream show nobody watched is a BAD idea?

I've said 10,000x over the last 5 years, the budgets for streaming have been way too high. So yes it was a bad idea that all of Hollywood has fallen into.

Using the Marvel linear shows, even the Netflix Marvel shows, as an example shows they know how to properly budget shows. They just need to get back to that.

There is no gotcha moment here, move on.

The Volume was used in Thor L&T and The Batman.
