My daughter is four, I wish she could sit still for half a hour
You know the first movie I sort of saw in the theater that was Star Wars was Return of the Jedi. Showed up. At all my popcorn and was ready leave before the movie even got started.

I do hope they have no Jedi in this show, just have the focus on people who aren't Force sensitive. I do wonder how they'll get some diversity into the cast.
Right!?
Though try the 'Spirited Away' thing. You might get lucky!
The first time I went to the cinema I was too young to even remember having gone (I'm told the film was Disney's 'Peter Pan'.) The first time I actually remember going was for 'Ghostbusters II', and I was that obnoxious kid that talked the whole way through, but I loved it (and still have a lot of affection for it.) I was 7 and a HUGE fan thanks to the cartoon.You know the first movie I sort of saw in the theater that was Star Wars was Return of the Jedi. Showed up.

I'm amazed that with all of the reedits they haven't either removed the blood, or upped it to PG-13 in the US. That scene and the burned corpses of Owen and Beru have always struck me as pretty graphic for modern PG. Obviously PG-13 didn't exist yet when it was made, so the PG made sense at the time, but now PG-13 is a thing, and we have seen different versions of movies get different ratings.
They're not really burning corpses though; they're just charred, smoking skeletons. And blood is just blood; nothing inherently inappropriate there. What generally makes the difference is actually depicting the act of violence. Owen and Beru are torched off-screen, and the Cantina scene is edited in such a way that you never seen the blade make contact.
And we have out first trailer, I can't remember the episodes so I'm not sure how much of this is new footage.
From that look of it, I would guess it starts just before the end of the Clone Wars. And than its about what these troopers decide to do post-war. A bunch of shots seem to be them fighting other clone troopers, and the shot of Tarkin reminds me of a detention block. If this group is the Star Wars equivalent of "The A-Team", than the setup will probably have them incarcerated. Maybe for defending a Jedi. Or maybe for something they didn't even do (like Yoda's escaping, or Vos even). Than they are on the run for the rest of the series.
Yes she was. I wonder given the timing of their respective productions, was the character created for this show before they decided to put her in The Mandalorian?
Fun sizzle reel. I like that they're keeping the Clone Wars style alive. Lots of shots to dissect and some familiar sights. Honestly there's more Empire here than I expected. I guess I kinda assumed it would pick up a few years after the fact, but this makes it look like it'll butt up right against the CW finale (sans coda) and smack in the middle of RotS.

Interesting. I enjoyed the characters well enough for their arc of The Clone Wars. And anything that visits what the experience of the clones was like in the early Empire sounds fantastic. Plus I really want to see what's next in store for Echo. I think The Clone Wars made me a bigger fan of the clone characters than even someone like Ahsoka. (Live action Rex when, Disney?)
After seeing the trailer I’m actually excited about this show when I wasn’t before.
1983.. maybe
The more I think about it, the more it seems like a good idea because in lot of ways Delta Squad are probably what the Bad Batch were supposed to be before they were initially written off as too divergent. There's a lot of pathos in that kind of pairing.
I'm kind of developing this head-canon-ish notion that there was initially only ever 100 clones produced for the the Republic Commando program 'RC-00' through 'RC-99' (yes, THAT '99') and because the program push the Fett genome to greater extremes than the rank and file, a lot of them were either unstable, came out as bad batchers, or washed out of the training program, so by the end of it there were only enough for like 5 commando units (yes, the same 5 mentioned in AotC.) Part of my reasoning for the two digit codes is that it helps make the commandos seem more elite, gives more context to The Bad Batch's background. gives an excuse to tie in '99', help explain Gregor's unstable personality shift, but part of it is simply to allow the Deltas to keep their EU designations while at the same time loosing the uncomfortably cute THX reference by chopping off the '11' and just leaving The Boss as 'RC-38'.
