icon_ukIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than me.
This one is quite video link heavy.
Netflix have announced a Stranger Things animated series!
Star Wars Celebration 2023 was this past weekend and there was a veritable SLEW of announcements and trailers
Three new movies were confirmed
A story set in the 25,000 years before anything we've seen, about the discovery of the Force. Director James Mangold is known for "Logan" and "Girl, Interrupted", amongst others.
Dave Filoni's first live action movie will be about the New Republic dealing with Imperial remnants, which does sound like the sort of thing he'd love given how often such things have popped up in both directions (The Bad Batch dealing with the consequences of the Empire establishing itself, and The Mandalorian addressing how former Imperials are treated by the New Republic)
Thirdly a sequel to the Sequel Trilogy with a new story for Rey, set 15 years after "The Rise of Skywalker" as she seeks to establish a new Jedi Order.
And Taika Waititi is still down to create his own Star Wars movie, but it's not scheduled as yet.
And we have new TV shows to;
The Acolyte will be set a hundred years before the Original Trilogy, during the High Republic.
For younger viewers, Young Jedi Adventures about young Padawans.
The live action Ahsoka about Ahsoka, the former Spectre crew (based on the trailer, the only member of the crew we now won't see/haven't already seen in live-action is Kanan Jarrus, for obvious reasons)
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has a longer trailer.
Star Wars Visions:2 including a contribution from Aaardman Animation!
The last mention of Star Wars will be last weeks episode of "The Mandalorian", which had three major celebrity guest stars and which seemed to make a very odd choice regarding shift of focus about a major plot point.
A second trailer for the Barbie movie dropped and it's safe to say that whilst it looks AMAZING, no one has a single clue as to what it's about. Shades of "The LEGO Movie", now I think about it, which seems apt.
Those aware of my fondness for Saint Seiya, might remember I posted a link to a piece of investigative research into attempts to make a US version a few months back, now the same youtuber, Ray Mona, has released Part 2 of her research, which include the full pilot episode for "Guardians of the Cosmos", which is... a whole thing.
