Spoilers All Things STAR WARS - News, Speculation & Spoilers Thread
- Thread starter Reverend
- Start date
If it were up to me, the next spin-off would be centred around The Mods, just to annoy the people that dumped on BoBF for daring to try a different tone. 
In all seriousness though; if we're presuming a spin-off is an actual spin-off with established characters and not just another original show set in the same era and destined to cross back over, the most obvious candidates seems to be: -
Cobb Vanth . . . but I doubt they're in any hurry to set another show on Tatooine.
Cara Dune is almost certainly a non-starter (recasting not out of the question, but unlikely IMO.)
I can't see Bill Burr carrying a spin-off, but I wouldn't discount it either.
A Luke show doesn't seem feasible, but then neither did a Luke cameo or an extended Luke training sequence, and yet here we are. (I still highly doubt it.)
The female Tusken warrioris a long shot, but I can dream! (My head canon is that she's alive and got sold into the gladiatorial pits in Hutt space.)
So what does that leave? A Bo Katan Show? Hmm. Maybe. Or maybe this new production isn't a spin-off at all but a multi-show crossover thing like 'The Defenders'. Maybe with Thrawn as the main antagonist making it all a rough adaptation of 'Heir to the Empire'?

Hmmm... Ghost you say.
Star Wars in the 1880s...
I say!
The Buster Call that followed that was no joke, Luffy said.
I myself always wondered what a dark Star Wars universe taken over by an evil interplanetary dictatorship would look like. 
whoever signed off on the Mods needs to get they ass whoopedIf it were up to me, the next spin-off would be centred around The Mods, just to annoy the people that dumped on BoBF for daring to a different tone.
That's the answer-violence to teach people to make stuff others might not like...
"You won't elude me this time, Master Qui-Gon. You see, I can track ghosts now."
The Mods, while like the British sense, is also like teens in the 50s and early 60s having a car that they spent all their money and time on...so it always looked good or ran fast (or both). They are broke otherwise, but their car looks really nice. This may still be the case in some places. Remember George Lucas lived in a backwater town in California where they did drag racing and car mods as teens. Instead of landspeeders, or swoops, the rebellious teens on Tatoonine got bright colored bikes and keep them clean (on a world where everything is drab and water expensive.)
Yeah, the Mods make perfect sense in that time and in that place, and some people need to lighten up a bit.
Luke was a rural bumpkin living in the arse end of nowhere in midst of a decades long depression; so of course he drove a beat to hell space pick-up and tuned up an old space-crop duster to go joy riding through the canyons with his mates.
The Mods were backwater townies in the midst of a relative post-war boom, so of course they spent every penny they could beg borrow and steal on clothes, and to get their piddly little scooters to look as clean, shiny & as garishly flashy as those they imagine the fancy people from the core worlds drive. That they can't outrun a drunk jawa on one of those things is besides the point; the Mos Espa traffic isn't conducive to tear-arsing it around, and it's not as if they're interesting in driving out on the dunes either. This whole point of those things is to cruise around, then loiter where everyone can see them and notice how cool and rebellious they look. (These are teenagers after all.)

I'm picturing a brutalist utilitarian design aesthetic, endless sterile grey corridors, armies of faceless bone-white armoured soldiers, an evil black knight type henchman, probably serving some evil old git cackling on a throne, and maybe a rag-tag group of rebels just to add a little colour?I myself always wondered what a dark Star Wars universe taken over by an evil interplanetary dictatorship would look like.

LF has posted the full schedule for SW Celebration Europe 2023. No word yet on which panels will actually be streamed (or where, unless I missed something!), but if it's anything like last year, probably not many of the "big ones". The Ahsoka panel seems like a fair bet this time around given it's relatively close to release (no doubt there's at least a teaser trailer drop planned), and I really hope the 'Clone Wars - 15 Year Anniversary Panel' will go out to the masses, but I'll not be holding my breath or anything.
As a whole it looks fairly front-loaded, meaning that if there's any big new announcements, expect them to be in that first 'Lucasfilm’s Studio Showcase' panel. Though given that it's only 30mins long, I'm not expecting anything too crazy. Maybe a glimpse at Skeleton Crew & Acolyte?
Quick show of hands; I may start posting the livestream vods as they come up like I did last year*, would you lot prefer I start a new dedicated thread for easy reference, or just post them all here alongside whatever other news is bound to crop up?

* I really did it for my own ease of reference, but got a surprising number of thank-you notes from people actually at the event, since on-site coverage was actually worse than it was for the rest of us, and even that was pretty bad!

Considering the potential amount of news that could be coming out of it, I'd think a separate thread might be the way to go.
I hope they allow us mere mortals to watch the panels. They're always fun to watch.

Some more that others. Anything with Filloni or any of the animation team is usually fun, and last time Temuera Morrison legitimately had me in stiches. Sadly I don't think he'll be at this one, but fair play; the UK is a very long haul for the Kiwis and the round trip plus two or three days at the event plus jet-lag would basically annihilate the best part of a fortnight for him, and it's not like LF are paying him to promote an upcoming show this year.
As for the news; I'm honestly not anticipating anything crazy. There aren't any panels that exactly scream "we got something up our sleeves", and the only one dedicated to an upcoming live-action project is 'Ahsoka'. I think having Lars Mikkelsen wander out on stage in blue make-up is about as "surprising" as it's likely to get, and I seriously doubt even that'll be a thing.
Well it's not like they've been keeping it a secret until now . . .
Personally, I fecking hate going into London, and crowds, and viruses, and people in general. So I'll be quite content with live streams, second hand accounts and people posting fuzzy pictures on twitter.
