Well, since anger, fear, aggression already exist in the day to day population perhaps all of that needs the Jedi to balance out the darkness already existing.
Insert Title 2023 Star Wars movie Anticipation Thread
- Thread starter valkyrie013
- Start date
Well, that was how the PT Jedi seemed to define it on-screen, but, yeah, weird.
So why is every second or third comment in this thread one of yours? This thread isn't about the future of the franchise generally; it's about anticipating the next movie specifically. If you don't want to speculate about what or when the next SW film might be, no one's demanding that you persistently remind us of your disinterest, nor is your disinterest so enlightening that we all benefit from hearing about it over and over.
That didn't happen.
Well there is still time for a 2023 movie, granted December 2023..
6 months to write, cast and shoot it. Then a year to do post..
But they REALLY need to get on the ball really soon.
Same for the supposed next trek movie.. Gears need to turn soon..

. . . or what, exactly?
They won't have a movie to release at the appointed time.
Can I ask how demanding news is more helpful speculation? We have zero data points to judge, one way or the other. The focus by Lucasfilm seems to be the streaming side so the lack of film news strikes me as neutral.
Well, that's obviously untrue. In late May, Kennedy said they were still aiming to release Waititi's movie in "late 2023," and, more recently than that, Waititi indicated not only is his script unfinished, it hasn't even been formally greenlit. So, that's a pretty strong indication that there will very likely be no SW movie released next year - not Waititi's, and not Rogue Squadron, as had previously been formally announced. Those are all data points.
Now, I don't expect Lucasfilm to immediately announce they won't be making a previously announced release date the moment they come to that realization, but their silence creates a space for us outsiders to play the game of reading the tea leaves of which statements to trust, and for how long. If you don't wanna play that game, fine, but again, there's no need for you to repeatedly announce your non-participation. I don't watch The Boys, for example, but I don't repeatedly post in the The Boys thread that I don't watch the show.
What if I don't trust them period?
It's not an unwillingness to play its a huge amount of skepticism at any prognostication or how unbalanced it must be. So, it's me finding attitudes strange.
It is if you refuse to acknowledge/+deny that on-the-record announcements of SW movies being planned for release on particular dates constitute data points with which to play the game.
I appreciate the information. I just don't trust it. So prognostication is hard to trust.
You mean appointed time as in announced release dates? Those things that get routinely pushed back, all the time, by every studio? Oh well in that case they better hurry, because clearly this is written in stone and cannot be ignored!
Just so we're clear, everyone does know that publicly announced release dates like this are primarily for the benefit of investor calls, something for the entertainment press to waffle about, and occasionally bluffing other studios to move their dates, right? We do all know it's not in any means binding, or reflective of any actual solid internal corporate deadlines, yes?

^ That's all true enough, but it's also true that when Marvel Studios announces dates, they tend to meet them, if not with exact accuracy from the initial announcements, then fairly close to them. With Star Wars, however, not only do the announced dates rarely ever hold, many announced film projects don't make it into theaters at all. Ergo, the guessing game is much more fun.
I'm guessing Jar-Jars singalong got greenlit.
Special appearance by Kermit the Frog.
Not a terribly useful comparison considering Marvel are quite explicitly telling an ongoing and linear meta-narrative, so keeping close to a set schedule is rather essential. Even then there's been some recent incidents of unplanned reshuffling, like 'Multiverse of Madness' originally being supposed to precede 'No Way Home', and how 'Black Window' and 'FatWS' got switched in the release order.
Star Wars on the other hand, is not beholden to any such linear meta-narrative. It's telling stories all up and down the timeline in no particular order, and so far with no deliberate synergy between the streaming shows and the movies; so for example there's no pressing rush for 'Acolyte' to come out before 'Ahsoka' since so far as we're aware there's no narrative connection . . . and even if there were it probably wouldn't matter which order they showed up in.
