STAR WARS Series Set During The High Republic Era Reportedly Begins Pre-Production Ahead Of June Start Date

Remember that mysterious Star Wars series described as "Stranger Things in space"? Well, we have a big update to share with you today as work on the secretive Disney+ project has already begun in earnest.

Last month, we learned that a mysterious Star Wars project using the working title "Grammar Rodeo" is in the works at Lucasfilm. Now, Bespin Bulletin (via SFFGazette.com) is reporting that the Disney+ series will begin shooting in June through December, and it sounds like this is the show Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts is attached to (Jon Favreau, meanwhile, will produce). 

Previously described as "Stranger Things in Space," the site confirms that this show will be set during the High Republic era, and it's said pre-production has already begun in Culver City, California. 

Sets are being built as we write this, and shooting will take place at the same Manhattan Beach Studios where The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Obi-Wan Kenobi have been filmed. It's noted that this show is likely to be announced at Star Wars Celebration next month, though we might get some news on May The Fourth as well (we'd bet on this being saved for the former).

As for why the series is being referred to as "Grammar Rodeo," the site posits that it's a reference to the episode of The Simpsons where Bart and his friends trick their parents into letting them take a trip to the "National Grammar Rodeo." As a result, we're expecting this project to focus on a young cast of actors - probably Jedi Padawans - at a time that's yet to be explored in live-action.

Ahsoka is set to begin shooting next month, so there's lots in store for this Galaxy Far, Far Away over the next couple of years. Hopefully, some official details will be shared by Lucasfilm soon.

I wish they’d make a series fleshing out Finn, Rey, and salvaging the Sequel trilogy.

@feedonatreefrog - nothing to salvage its a burning dumpster fire after a heavy deluge

@McMurdo - They said the same about the Prequels and the Clone Wars once upon a time.

@feedonatreefrog - same. Want it to be set between TLJ and TROS, so that we can see how Finn, Rey and Poe grew into the friends they seemingly just were in TROS. Same with Kylo, something changed character-wise that went unexplained

@bkmeijer1 - I’d start it after TLJ but end it after TROS. Like with Order 66 in Clone Wars, we could see the battle of Exegol from other POVs (like a Stormtrooper rebellion), and then afterwards we could have Finn become a Jedi with Rey (and eventually becoming a couple), rebuilding Skywalker academy and giving us a decent conclusion to the Skywalker saga.

@feedonatreefrog - no, no one needs a show with how bad a character Finn was. No one. They already tried to make a show set during the sequel era movies, Resistance, and it was bad compared to Clone Wars and Rebels! And it had Poe in it!

@feedonatreefrog - doing that to try and Finn will not make it better

It's strange that we're probably getting this sooner than Acolyte (which was announced like two years ago) even tho we don't even know the series' name.

This sounds like a fun show. Finally something that isn't connected to the Skywalker saga, even though it might have a Yoda appearance

Exploring a new era with kids as your main SW crew sounds like it could have some of that same appeal as The Phantom Menace, which I’m all for.

And this is the new Era of SW. Nobody will buy this merch and and shit related to high republic. The books have been a joke; should have gone with legends! They put all their cards in on this. Can't wait to see it fall, as it should

@bobevanz - unfortunately the comic sales have been good

Old Republic or 1000 years in the future. The high Republic is set in the 1000 years of peace but I bet they will recon that.

Star Wars is finished, its so sad what they done it. If people in hollywood were able to set their egos and bureaucracy aside maybe we could have good things that make them money

@Waddles - I would swap all that media for one great movie, a great star wars movie should be priority
