I was ready to not lie the trailer. Once I saw the kids I rolled my eyes; obi won and those stupid ewok movies ruined kids in star wars for me.

But the kids don't sound annoying and jude law's there to balance it out.

My star wars Fandom doesn't really make sense anymore though. I skipped andor and the Acolyte but watched obi won and Boba fett.

Getting Goonies/Super 8/Stranger Things vibes from the trailer. Looks like it might actually good.

Exactly, goonies in space, but in a good way !

Goonies in space produced by a producer of The Goonies.

Well, we've seen Indiana Jones produced by a producer of indiana jones and look how that series has gone. There is a distinct volatility to these projects where I think they will fail at baseline and occasionally surprise everyone by being good.

This looks like it may actually be halfway decent, but it's Disney, so my expectations are justifiably at zero at this point.

James Cameron was involved with Terminator Dark Fate and look how that turned as well...

People's past rep don't mean what it used to in a lot of cases...

Star Wars take on the Goonies or Stanger Things. Looks cinematic af.

If this is what it takes to inject some interest in Star Wars for the young generation then it'll be great despite the suburban weirdness.

It's definitely better than their first attempt.

Marvel was able to cultivate a very loyal and young user base over the first decade of the MCU, and Lucasfilm saw their fans aging out. So they tried this:


Didn't work out like they wanted.

This seems to be the new compromise in Hollywood. If you want to get investors, set your story in a Star Wars/comic book/other established universe with a built-in fan base.

This would be fine if they stopped making garbage content. They have a massive goldmine sitting right there in front of them and yet they keep making flops to appease an agenda. It makes absolutely no sense. Characters representing minorities or whatever is fine and nobody cares about that if the story and characters are good, but they keep making garbage stories with garbage characters to focus on "the message." And when people lash out at the story and characters sucking they call everyone toxic, homophobic, transphobic, and racist. They make absolute garbage and take no responsibility for their failures.

I'm gonna give it a shot but I DO NOT LIKE that ultra clean "modern americana" look of the suburb set. Whether its the cinematography or the pedestrian nature of the aesthetic, i detest it.

But seems like it will be in an episode at best so long as the parent drama is kept to a minimum.

Also, does that blue elephant guy have a normal voice? My NUMBER ONE dislike of "nu-Star Wars" is having aliens just talk like normal people. It is sooooo incongruous with how the alien looks and it never works well. I'm sure they want to avoid sub-titles or that "let me repeat what you just said" wookie talk, but it WORKS in Star Wars! Even the pseudo-ethnic accent stuff from Ep1 is better than some bland english or american accent coming from an alien with a totally different anatomical structure.

I hope they can convincingly return the Star Wars galaxy back into a sprawling expanse of disconnected and isolated worlds where travel is lengthy, laborious, and difficult. So many of the new shows reduce travel to the point where it seems like all of Star Wars takes place in one solar system that the idea of "we are lost" seems ridiculous.
