THE MANDALORIAN: Principal Photography Has Wrapped On The First Ever Live-Action STAR WARS Series

@MarvelousMarty - I think it is actually supposed to premiere this year, most likely in October. Or otherwise Triple Force Friday is a load of crap. I mean it’s already done filming and it’s only February.

also, Star Wars is, and has always been, between a rock and the hardest of places. here's the thing: nostalgia bait is a thing, yes, a lot of media relies on it nowadays, that is true. but the thing with Star Wars is, how can you be anything BUT nostalgic for it? everyhting in SW post original trilogy, and I mean EVERYTHING, is meant to call back one way or another, by design or not, to that trilogy.
The mandalorian armor for example, yes, that is a nostalgic look because it calls back to Boba Fett. at the same time, that look is part of the lore, that is just the aesthetic that race has, in that sense every mandalorian is gonna remind you of Boba Fett. lightsabers, spaceships, laser guns, jedi, sith, the dark side, the music cues, the sound effects, the dialogue, all of that is already codified as the identity of Star Wars, all of that IS Star Wars. and if you stray too much from it or introduce other things, people are gonna have a hard time buying it. not because it's bad to introduce new things, but because said things haven't been codified as "part of Star Wars". damned if you do something new, damned if you don't basically.
