Let's Talk All Things Star Wars (Again)

THRAWN movie:

The Celebration 2025 announcement of Admiral Ackbar coming back for Ahsoka Season 2 is a setup for a planned Thrawn movie, where the two admirals will face off in a battle of wits.

I didn't watch Ahsoka, but a couple friends said they turned Thrawn into an idiot. Admiral Ackbar was not a match for Thrawn in any of the engagements in the Zahn books.

Ugh.

Why am I not surprised? What else would modern LFL do with a formidable male character?

The whole backbone of Admiral Thrawn was brains-over-emotions. In the books I remember him being sort of an evil version of Mr. Spock. Timothy Zahn tried to make him smarter than the readers, never mind the rebel characters.

Okay, I have a new insider update:

STARFIGHTER movie:

The Ryan Gosling Starfighter movie is not yet greenlit. The hold-up is funds. Lucasfilm is not flush with cash at the moment, and has sunk most everything into The Mandalorian and Grogu. Hence the Celebration 2025 news about smaller cheaper productions that are animated. But Favreau is still trying to make it happen, because he's got respect for the potential of the film.

This explains why some other actors who were approached (like Mikey Madison) passed on it. It doesn't have a budget or filming schedule...yet. Tells me that Gosling really wants this.

Yes, this movie is resurrected from the Rogue Squadron idea that was originally being planned with Patty Jenkins before she ran afoul of Kennedy. I understand that Favreau loved the idea and thinks Levy could pull it off. Jenkins is busy.

DARTH MAUL show:

This is apparently Favreau's idea, and comes from his desire to explore more of the "underworld" aspects of Star Wars. I say anything that gives us more Sam Witwer is a good thing.

CAL KESTIS:

There was previously some internal traction to get this game character into the live action universe, but due to production issues with the third "Jedi" game, this is likely to be delayed. Apparently Favreau had hoped to introduce Cal Kestis in Ahsoka Season 2, but the need to tie him in with the next game release has upset those plans.

You do a incredible job with data organizing, you’re my go to source when it comes to this stuff
