If winning on a Disney Fan site is important to you, well that says a lot about you, Ace.

It says I don’t spend just as much time here making excuses no one believes about bad management at a company with serious, long term problems.

Or it says that you only care about winning some fictitious argument on a site with anonymous people. Something I've noticed with a lot of posters you disagree with.

Well as one of my signatures says, this is a theme park forum not a competition, there is no winning or losing. Maybe something to remember in these discussions, just a piece of advice.

I hadn't seen that, but it would make sense since so much of love and thunder looked really cheap. That's not what you want for your first star wars film in 7yrs.
The volume is great if you want to extend a alleyway or put a building in the back skyline, like they did in the batman. But most all of the batman was shot on practical sets. So if they keep it to that, ok, it's fine. But if it looks like a tv show, we're in trouble.

The Volume is just a different way of filming CGI. It can look great or somewhat cheap, just depending on how much time and money they want to allocate.

The Batman used the volume very sparingly. It was used during the scenes in which people met with Batman on the skyscraper overlooking Gotham City and for the final shot of the Batmobile chase.

The Volume tech seems very seamless to me. A lot of that footage will age better than movies where the actors are in front of green screens most of the time.
The presumably bigger budget means we should see some epic space battles. The shows have generally been limited to single ships duking it out. I'd expect to see a bunch of Mandalorians come together.
That scope is where I'd expect to see a movie outdo the TV show. Sci-fi shows will always be heavy on the virtual environments. That's not the area I'd expect to see a big difference between TV and movies.

For me, that was evident when they concluded season 2 with a CGI Luke Skywalker

Well to be fair, Luke was the only real play once they said find a Jedi. He makes the most sense because of the timeframe. That doesn't mean the movie isn't desperation to get something on the big screen asap. But I don't think having Luke in Mando was being desperate. I think Jon was just giving something to the fan base.

I agree. Maybe desperate wasn’t the right word. Giving up? Lack of creativity? It came on the heels of bringing in multiple characters from other shows and movies. The showrunners created the conditions that resulted in only one option.

The Luke scene in Mando S2 was amazing and nearly perfect. But the follow up in BoBF was dumb and lazy.

Slightly OT
Rumor has it that the Mouse is covered since Peter Cushing had Disney+ and agreed to the terms of service, his friend too:

I saw this and the only thing I thought, so they waited 7-8 years after the movie came out to file a suit? I mean what were they waiting on if they really had any claim, why not file it in 2017 shortly after the movie came out?Slightly OT

Me thinks this was originally just some suit in hopes to quickly get paid by a settlement, "Sue the Mouse, they'll settle quickly".

Disney has revealed that its controversial Star Wars streaming show The Acolyte came in "over the production budget" with its costs hitting $230.1m.

Does it matter... we already know the 230mil number is significant and you can frame it relative to other shows.
To know it blew it's budget before even the costly post-production is done is well enough to know it will be 'way' over budget.
