GRAND INQUISITOR ACTOR REFUSED TO WATCH REBELS AND TALKS FLYING IN KENOBI May 23, 2022

Show notes

Rupert Friend, who plays the Grand Inquisitor, talks about playing the character in Obi-Wan Kenobi and reveals he deliberately didn't watch Rebels in order to portray the character in a fresh new way. I disagree with this but hey what do I know, I'm not an actor. With Dave Filoni and Deb Chow involved, I'm sure it'll be fine, but I feel it would be even better if all actors caught up on Rebels and the prequels. Ewan and Hayden Christensen rewatched the prequels and the Clone Wars (Hayden) to prepare for the role they originally portrayed, so I don't think newcomers should take liberties like this...but hey...I'm sure it'll be fine, I'm just a nit picker.

KATHLEEN KENNEDY THINKS SOLO FAILED BECAUSE NO DEEPFAKE...MY THOUGHTS May 20, 2022

Show notes

Kathleen Kennedy says Solo wasn't successful because it didn't have Harrison Ford's deepfake. I think this is incorrect. I believe Solo failed not because of the lack of deepfake or any other reason (I liked the film) other than the fact that The Last Jedi came out several months prior and created a big rift in the Star Wars fandom with the treatment of Luke Skywalker by Rian Johnson and Lucasfilm at Kathleen Kennedy's approval (I assume). Here are my thoughts on the matter... What do you think? Learn more about your ad choices.

RIAN JOHNSON STAR WARS TRILOGY ON HOLD KATHLEEN CONFIRMS May 19, 2022

Show notes

Rian Johnson is just too busy at the moment to work on Star Wars, states Kathleen Kennedy. I think a Rian Johnson trilogy would be cinematic, unique and adventurous, so long as he STAYS AWAY from any iconic or pre-existing characters/lore/planets/places/mythos/objects.

ANAKIN'S REACTION TO BEING CALLED GENERAL FOR THE FIRST TIME [CANON] May 17, 2022

Show notes

In the new canon Star Wars novel BROTHERHOOD by Mike Chen, there's a moment where Anakin Skywalker is called "General" by a nearby Clone Trooper. Anakin thinks to himself how odd it is to be called by this title, and how he didn't become a Jedi to become a war general. I really like how they added this little detail in there. I think it adds to Anakin's overall views of how the Jedi were leaning into the politics and war of the Republic, and how he didn't want to be there. Learn more about your ad choices.
