The ANDOR teaser trailer.

Ain’t gonna lie: ROGUE ONE is my favorite movie of the new bunch of Star Wars movies. Which is not a hard bar to clear, but I thought it was legitimately good. And surprisingly resistant to being Disneyfied*. I’m inclined to see what ANDOR does with itself.

*There’s just something entertaining about the way that the production crew expected the Mouse to come in and point out the logical implications of the plot, and its rather dramatic effect on possible sequels. But the Mouse never did. One must treasure these brief, shining moments of artistic integrity, in an uncaring world.

The new OBI-WAN KENOBI trailer.

Guess Obi-Wan Kenobi is not staying on Tatooine for the entire series. Which makes sense, since if there’s a bright center to the universe, that’s the planet that it’s farthest from. Best to go somewhere else, hey?

Also, it has good-looking, black-armored, hawk-faced women with lightsabers. I’m not going to pretend: this is a part of my aesthetic. I’m down to watch that.

Tweet of the Day, …KOTOR? edition.

That would be @zamoose‘s hope. And mine. A KOTOR movie would just make logical sense. So would a sequel video game too, of course.

The LEGO STAR WARS TERRIFYING TALES Disney+ trailer.

Well, if you’re going to do a STAR WARS-themed Halloween show, then give it to the LEGO folks. Straight up. I mean, there’s no chance in Hell they’ll ever do straight-up horror in the Star Wars universe, and I kind of don’t want them to anyway. That means that ‘comic spooky’ is your only viable action plan, and at least this shop knows how to do that sort of thing. I figure my kids are going to watch LEGO STAR WARS TERRIFYING TALES pretty avidly, or at least the younger one will. It may not suck.

So, I guess they’re not filming a new season of THE MANDALORIAN any time soon.

I almost wrote ‘at all,’ but maybe another six months or a year will be enough time for the heat to die down. GeekTyrant aside, Dave Filoni did not ‘tease’ information on THE MANDALORIAN so much as he evaded giving out any. The Good Morning America segment was remarkably free of information on the subject (ScreenRant provided the relevant transcript):

Oh, that’s a tricky one, you know I don’t like to go into those answers without Jon here, my partner Jon Favreau. It’s exciting, we’re both working on that, we’re working on Boba Fett right now, so there’s a lot of new adventures coming up. I have to be careful, I can’t really say anything specific, but I think the Force will be strong with it. Let’s just say that.

The STAR WARS: BUCKETHEADS Fan Trailer.

It’s getting easier and easier for non-professional studios to get to ‘Ehh. I can’t really tell the difference’ TV/movie production values. BUCKETHEADS is operating at, what, 1998, 2002 AD-style special effects? That’s easily enough, for what they need to produce. The next step for them is to get enough money to be able to hire professional actors, and then hey, presto! They’ve got a film company. With probably considerably less overhead.

Mind you, at that point they’re gonna need to get their own IPs.
