Star Wars Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (TÓPICO OFICIAL)

[Tre Styles]

O filme pode até vir a ser bom, mas não estou vendo antecipação alguma. Ninguém está dando a mínima. 2 anos atrás a situação era bem diferente apesar de episódio VII ser um filme morno, vai que a coisa realmente engrenasse no VIII? Não aconteceu, e amigos meus que estavam malucos pra ver o VIII dois anos atrás, estão céticos, não dão a mínima. Provavelmente vão ver no cinema porque são fãs roxos da franquia, mas esse último filme foi um golpe tão bem dado que conseguiu alienar qualquer um que se importe um pouquinho mais com pagar o ingresso pra ver um bom filme, não meramente pagar porque já está lá mesmo e quer se divertir, o pessoal que em dezembro vai ao cinema de qualquer jeito, independente de ter Star Wars ou não em cartaz.

O que já foi feito tira o prestígio da franquia independente do que vier. As pessoas já não vêem Star Wars como viam 10 anos atrás e se a Disney for sábia, pára por uns 5 anos depois desse filme. Eles já tem os filmes de herói pra garantirem o lucro, que deixem Star Wars descansar um pouco.

Bom, o executivo chefe da Disney tbm cita essa fadiga...

Mas na minha opinião, basta tirar das mãos dessa maluca (e de pessoas que põem ideologia acima de agradar fãs) que não precisa esperar 5 anos. Pelo contrário, acho que depois da fachada de TLJ, se esperarem 5 anos vão é tirar a relevância da franquia e ela pode nunca mais voltaria a ser o que poderia ser.

Porque tinha fãs (agora adultos, país ou avós) que viram a trilogia original. Tem os fãs (agora adultos, jovens) que viram a trilogia prequela. Todos queriam mais. A Disney não criou fãs novos e alienou os antigos. Inclusive os antigo estão com raiva. Deixar eles 5 anos remoendo, sem ter criado fãs novos tem mais chances de jogar no lixo a franquia que fazer certo a próxima trilogia daqui dois anos.

Por mim, fariam já no ano seguinte um filme "Rogue Two" com bons personagens, bons roteiristas e boa trama.

 

[Darth_Tyranus]

O espaço da Disney para reconquistar os fãs será nas séries de TV, não nos filmes. Star Wars para o cinema está morto.

 

[Goris]

Enquanto isso, Jornada nas Estrelas parece que vai, finalmente, engrenar fora das telonas.

Não curti Discovery, tanto que não assisti mais que 4 episódios, mas tem a série do Picard que pode ser interessante (embora TNG não seja minha favorita, sempre tive carinho por ela).

 

[viagem estrelar]

Percebi uma coisa q todos já devem ter percebido.
O ruim Johnson, não pretendia fazer um filme ruim, acho q ele se esforçou pra fazer um ótimo filme e isso piora as coisas.
Pq eu estou falando? Estou falando isso pq eu fiz um paralelo do filme do Johnson com o império contra ataca, indiscutívelmente o melhor da franquia.
E o império contra ataca está todo lá no filme do Johnson só q com "agenda" e porcamente executado.
Triste ver q o kra queria fazer um novo Strike back e infelizmente conseguiu desbancar a ameaça fantasma.

Quem lacra não lucra.

Não acho que nenhum diretor que faz filmes ruins quer fazer filmes ruins.

Ryan Johnson, no entanto, não teve o menor interesse em fazer um filme para os fãs, ele fez pra si mesmo, fez pro público lacrador (que, sempre repito, consome bem pouco) e fez, sim, querendo atacar o público que ele considerava (considera até hoje) machista, racista, fascista...

Aí não rola.

Quando o filme ainda tava no cinema eu já dizia, ele entrou na onda da Disney de que todas as reclamações de fãs sobre os erros de O Despertar da Força eram só mimimi de fascistas e, ao invés de ouvir os fãs e corrigir os erros, tratou de dar a eles justamente o filme que seria um tapa na cara.

Reclamaram da Rey ser poderosa sem motivo? Vamos mostrar que mulher não precisa de motivos para ser poderosa... Não, vamos colocar todas as mulheres como poderosas e todos os homens como imbecis... Exceto Kylo Ren, que é o bastante boy que toda mulher ama, porque mulher ama bandido, sim, ama..

Deu no que deu. De um primeiro filme de 2 bilhões de dólares - e expectativa de chegar a 2.2 - chegou a 1.3 bilhão. Um enorme sucesso? Sim e não. Afinal foram 900 milhões de dólares a menos do que esperado - e que chegaria fácil a esse valor se não fosse a lacração.

Então, não é que o cara queria fazer um filme ruim, mas ele claramente quis fazer um filme pra mostrar pros fãs velhos (o passado tá morto) que eles não valiam nada.

Então não sinto a menor pena de nada que esse cara levou. Primeira regra de qualquer comércio, agrade seu público. E ele intencionalmente fez o oposto disso. Fez um filme pra atacar o público velho, pensando que o público "novo" que ele sonhou alcançar ia jogar fora esses velhos.

PS: Sempre comento, tivemos a mesma discussão sobre o filme além do MBB, mas lá a turma amou o filme. Era uma obra de arte e quem não gostou era fascista. Aí, depois de seis meses, um dos caras que mais defendeu o filme - e mais criticou quem não gostou - soltou um "Baixei e assisti o filme ontem, não é tão ruim igual vocês falaram"... Tipo, ele ficou meses defendendo um filme que nunca assistiu, era só desculpa pra atacar quem pensava diferente. Esse é o público que tava nas redes sociais defendendo o filme e que a Disney tava contando.

Exatamente o mesmo caso do filme "As Caça-Fantasmas" em que uma feminista defendia pra c***lho o filme e atacava os machistas. No fim ela, num raro arroubo de honestidade solta "Eu não assisti ao filme porque não é meu gênero preferido, gosto mais de filme de arte...".

Então, o cara não queria fazer um filme ruim, mas ele intencionalmente fez um filme que, pros fãs era ruim, o que dá no mesmo.

 

[Darth_Tyranus]

Rian Johnson fez um filme que agradou Kethleen Kennedy. Enquanto outros diretores foram demitidos, substituídos e humilhados na mídia (sendo chamados literalmente de incompetentes, como os diretores originais de "Solo" - só para recordar, eles dirigiram o filme "Lego" e roteirizaram "Homem-aranha no aranhaverso"), com trechos de seus filmes editados, Rian ganhou antes mesmo do lançamento de "The Last Jedi" uma trilogia própria, com carta branca para fazer o que quisesse com o universo SW devido a sua grande competência e pelo resultado geral de seu filme, absolutamente amado pelos produtores da LucasFilm.

Tanto é que baixaram uma ordem geral de todo mundo elogiar o filme e criticar os fãs, chamando-os de fascistas, machistas, misóginos etc. Só quem não compactuou com esta palhaçada foi o Mark Hamill, que desde o início criticou a produção. Outros atores, como a Daisy Ridley, até se mostrou triste pelas críticas que recebeu, mas também já largou algumas notas, como a falta de vontade de voltar a trabalhar na LucasFilm, declarando que depois da trilogia vai cair fora desse barco e se mostrando incomodada pelo "Reylo" que os fãs lacradores e doentes tanto elogiaram (incluindo algumas artes eróticas mostrando a atriz pagando babão e quicando na p*roca do Adam Driver).

 

[viagem estrelar]

Sim, concordo com o que vcs disseram .
E não, não estou fazendo nenhum tipo de bait.
Só estou demostrando a tristeza q é um filme pra fechar uma trilogia não ter nenhum tipo de hype.
Kra, só 2 filmes devem me fazer ir ao cine este ano, o era uma vez Hollywood e coringa.
Vou q ter q ver outro evento cultural , talvez umA peça.
Fico chateado , por esse diretor ter ganho uma trilogia , ela deve vir depois da galera do games of copypaste.
Deve ser anos duros pro cinema .

Star Wars não consegue cativar a atual geração

De acordo com alguns dados recentes da Disney, a atual geração não parece estar muito interessada na franquia Star Wars. A saga, iniciada em 1977 por George Lucas, não está dando o retorno financeiro esperado. Isso pode ser observado no valor arrecadado com as atrações na Disney, as recentes bilheterias no cinema e até mesmo com a venda de colecionáveis.
O Galaxy’s Edge, nova atração da Disney, na Califórnia, tem apresentado um público muito inferior ao esperado. Apesar de ter tido um início promissor, com diversas reservas, a área do Star Wars tem visto o público diminuir. Ao mesmo tempo, o parque temático da Universal Studios, teve um aumento de público no mesmo período devido ao Mundo Mágico de Harry Potter.
Em 2018, o filme Han Solo: Uma História Star Wars teve uma bilheteria fraca, sendo o primeiro grande prejuízo para a Disney desde a compra da Lucasfilm em 2012. Os valores também tiveram queda com os filmes principais. Em 2015, Star Wars: O Despertar da Força teve uma bilheteria de mais de US$ 900 milhões, enquanto a sequência, Star Wars: Os Últimos Jedi, de 2017, faturou pouco mais de US$ 600 milhões.

Tudo isso revela que a nova geração parece não ter o mesmo interesse por Star Wars que seus pais e nem os colecionáveis parecem interessar mais. De acordo com um relatório recente, os action figures da Marvel tem dado maior retorno financeiro para a empresa.
A Disney ainda deve aguardar o resultado do próximo filme, Star Wars: A Ascensão Skywalker, que chega aos cinemas em dezembro. Se o resultado não for o esperado, é possível que os fãs de longa data precisem se despedir da franquia em um futuro não tão distante.

Se a LucasFilm quisesse eu escreveria um roteiro de graça pra eles, só pra salvar essa bost@ e não ver a saga que tanto amo afundar de forma tão triste.

Sinceramente, depois do que a Disney fez com Star Wars eu fico assim ao ler essa notícia

 

[Bloodstained]

Sinceramente, depois do que a Disney fez com Star Wars eu fico assim ao ler essa notícia

Espera só um instante que eu consigo melhorar isso.


Disney Can No Longer Deny That ‘Star Wars’ is a Damaged Franchise

A billion dollar Star Wars theme park expansion being ridiculed as a “flop” by the media.

A steep decline in Star Wars merchandise sales that even toy manufacturer Hasbro seemingly blames Disney for.

The last theatrical Star Wars film, Solo: A Star Wars Story, bombing at the box office.

And a vocal fanbase that feels betrayed by Star Wars’ current custodians, and is constantly at odds with the people behind the franchise on social media.

It’s clear we’re no longer living in 1979. Or even 1999.

Welcome to 2019, where it’s obvious to anyone paying attention that Star Wars is a damaged franchise under Disney’s stewardship. And after months of denial on Disney’s part, CEO Bob Iger seems to finally, finally be admitting it.

Kind of.


Star Wars merchandise sales are in decline. Again.
According to Disney’s third-quarter earnings report, Star Wars merchandise sales are down. Again.

Yes, they were also down last year, too.

It’s pretty common to see sequel era Star Wars toys on clearance. Sometimes they collect dust on shelves for many months.

THE INCREASE AT OUR CONSUMER PRODUCTS BUSINESS WAS DUE TO GROWTH AT OUR MERCHANDISE LICENSING AND RETAIL BUSINESSES. GROWTH AT MERCHANDISE LICENSING WAS PRIMARILY DUE TO HIGHER REVENUE FROM MERCHANDISE BASED ON TOY STORY, PARTIALLY OFFSET BY A DECREASE FROM STAR WARS MERCHANDISE. THE INCREASE AT OUR RETAIL BUSINESS WAS DUE TO HIGHER COMPARABLE STORE SALES AND ONLINE REVENUE.​

Go to any Walmart or bargain outlet and take a look at the glut of sequel era Star Wars merchandise they can’t even unload at rock bottom prices.

Or just ask a Toys ‘R Us employee about it. Oh, wait…


Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is being called a “flop.” Disneyland’s attendance plummets over the summer.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge effectively turned Disneyland into a “ghost town” — the opposite of what Disney had hoped for.​

Despite Disney defenders trying to put as positive of a spin on the disaster that is Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the mainstream media has seen right through it and continues to throw shade at the billion dollar expansion’s failure to draw crowds.

In fact, the Star Wars themed land seems to be chasing people away instead of drawing them to Disneyland.

And when there was some pushback from Disney fandom about the validity of people’s claims about the park being empty, USA Today had to step in and provide aerial photos as proof to shut that debate down hard.

But hey, it’s just the jealous naysayers throwing shade at Disney, right?

According to that same third-quarter earnings report, Disney Parks attendance was down overall.

So, no, it’s not our imaginations.

And Disney CEO Bob Iger had to put his own positive spin on the situation. Saying that Galaxy’s Edge will be profitable… someday.

“AND SO ALL OF THOSE FACTORS [PRINCE INCREASE, FEAR OF CROWDS] CONTRIBUTED TO ATTENDANCE THAT WAS BELOW WHAT WE WOULD HAVE HOPED IT WOULD BE. THAT SAID, GUEST SATISFACTION, INTEREST IN THE ATTRACTION IN THE LAND IS EXTREMELY HIGH, IT’S THE MOST POPULAR THING AT THE PARK. AND SO, LONG TERM, WE BUILD THESE THINGS FOR THE LONG TERM, WE HAVE NO CONCERNS WHATSOEVER ABOUT THEM. WE’RE OPENING GALAXY’S EDGE IN AUGUST IN ORLANDO, THE SECOND ATTRACTION THERE WILL OPEN IN DECEMBER, AND, AS I SAID, THE SECOND ATTRACTION IN ANAHEIM WILL OPEN IN JANUARY, SO WE FEEL GREAT ABOUT THE PRODUCT WE’VE CREATED, IT JUST TAKES SOME TIME TO, BASICALLY FOR US, TO WORK THEMSELVES OUT IN TERMS OF HOW THE MARKETPLACE IS REACTING.”​

Meanwhile, Universal had 10 hour waits for a new Harry Potter coaster, and announced a third theme park that will likely feature Nintendo.

​

Kids today love Nintendo. They don’t care much about Star Wars.

Speaking of which…


Kids today don’t care about Star Wars. So why keep insulting their parents?
According to Bloomberg, kids today just aren’t into Star Wars.

Well, not like their parents were.

It’s just another sci-fi fantasy franchise to them, and one that doesn’t seem to hold the same level of interest as Fortnite, Harry Potter or Disney’s other big franchise, Marvel.

While Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge has seen sparse crowds, Universal Orlando’s new Harry Potter roller coaster had wait times of up to 10 hours. However, crowds for Galaxy’s Edge may be heavier in Orlando than Anaheim.

STAR WARS TOY SALES POPPED WITH 2015’S “THE FORCE AWAKENS,” THE START OF A TRILOGY THAT UNITED HAN, LUKE AND LEIA WITH A NEW BAND OF HEROES, BUT HAVE SLUMPED SINCE. “SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY,” LAST YEAR’S SPINOFF FEATURING THE BACKSTORY OF BELOVED CHARACTERS, UTTERLY BOMBED. “THE LAST JEDI,” THE SECOND IN THE NEW TRILOGY, WAS PROFITABLE BUT FELL SHY OF ITS PREDECESSOR’S PERFORMANCE. THE NEXT INSTALLMENT, “THE RISE OF SKYWALKER,” WILL HAVE THE VERY FUTURE OF THE FRANCHISE RIDING ON IT WHEN IT DEBUTS IN DECEMBER.​

Attempts to make Star Wars more relatable to today’s youth with all new protagonists and villains has seemingly been met with apathy, judging by the unsold toys clogging clearance aisle shelves.

And old school Star Wars fans were dismayed at how their childhood heroes were sidelined, the victims of character assassination, or killed off entirely.

In the case of the original trilogy’s series protagonist Luke Skywalker, it’s all of the above.


‘The Last Jedi’ irreparably damaged the brand. But Disney will not acknowledge it.
To say that The Last Jedi split the fandom is an understatement. In fact, it could be argued the movie’s terrible treatment of classic characters (and its poor handling of the Star Wars fandom in the aftermath) directly lead to the current state of the Star Wars franchise.

Many fans feel that the character of Luke Skywalker was irreparably damaged by The Last Jedi. Even Mark Hamill himself seems unhappy with how his character was handled in Episode VIII. Here, Luke is seen swigging some green milk, freshly squeezed from the alien teet.​

Many fans threatened to boycott Star Wars after The Last Jedi. Yet the internet media pundits laughed it off as a “vocal minority” of disgruntled fans.

Months later, Solo bombed at the box office. Toy sales plummeted. The theme park is a ghost town. And there’s a deafening lack of chatter about The Rise of Skywalker from the general public, compared to the previous two sequel trilogy films.

If Star Wars is not resonating with children, then Disney must do what it can to keep the adult fans happy if they want the franchise to survive.

It’s mostly adults who are buying the toys, and certainly adults who are paying the exorbitant theme park ticket prices for their families. And I can almost guarantee you that only an adult would purchase a $200 designer lightsaber.

Having the director of the most polarizing Star Wars film of all times call the fans names on social media is not a good look. Nor is letting freelancers associated with the Star Wars brand attack people based on their political affiliation.

And blaming Russian bots for the backlash is just really, really stupid.

Beyond splitting the fandom, The Last Jedi weirdly became a litmus test of sorts for a fan’s political affiliation. The fans who loved the film, generally speaking, seemed to be more progressive and those who despised it seemed to be more conservative.

And you can thank the (predominantly progressive) pop culture media outlets for that, as they stoked the fires for months by trying to incite the old school fans with endless article after article calling them misogynists, trolls and worse.

But hey, director Rian Johnson said he loved to make polarizing films. So if he intended to troll old school Star Wars fans all along, he succeeded on an unprecedented level.

Unfortunately, the franchise has suffered tremendously for it.


Star Wars has been relegated to direct-to-TV status. How embarrassing.
The future of Star Wars seems to be direct-to-Disney-Plus. With Solo bombing at the box office, Disney halted their plans for more spinoff movies.

The Mandalorian is coming to Disney Plus from showrunner John Favreau. It’s mega expensive, so we’ll see how long it actually lasts.​

However, they seem to be moving ahead with the trilogy from Game of Thrones directors Benioff and Weiss, despite their recently inking a $200 million deal with competitor Netflix.

Oh, and did we mention that those guys are now despised by the Game of Thrones fandom for dropping the ball on Season 8?

Yeah, this might not be the way to win back the Star Wars fandom, Disney. Just saying.


You had ONE job, Lucasfilm.
Han, Luke and Leia all together in one scene. That’s all many Star Wars fans hoped for, and what was expected when it was announced the trio would return for the sequel trilogy.

Star Wars fans expected to see Han, Luke and Leia reunited for one last adventure together in The Force Awakens. After Han was killed onscreen and Carrie Fisher passed in real life, it was clear that this would NEVER happen.​

And when Mark Hamill posted an innocuous image about what he wished would have happened in the trilogy — a sentiment echoed by many fans — Twitter attacked him for it.

​

(I might need a swig of that green milk myself. Alcoholic, please.)


The Force is no longer with this franchise.
The proof is in the pudding. Or lack of it. Star Wars is not making the money it should be making, and Disney needs to take a good, hard look at why and stop burying its head in the sand and blaming the fandom.

Bob Iger’s acknowledgement that the franchise is in decline is a good first step, but it might be too little, too late.

===================================================================================
Além disso, tem um rumor circulando que, se confirmado, explicaria parte das merdas que aconteceram desde que Star Wars caiu nas mãos da Disney. Apesar de Lucas ter vendido os direitos da franquia, aparentemente ele teria direito a royalties toda vez que a Disney utilizasse material criado por ele nas trilogias anteriores.

​

Assim sendo, sempre que um cenário ou personagem criado por Lucas fosse utilizado pela Disney, ela teria que pagar uma porcentagem a ele por isso... e para não fazê-lo, o Mickey decidiu destruir tudo o que podia, para possuir completamente a franquia. Isso explicaria porque diabos a vitória da República foi jogada no lixo em The Force Awakens, com quase nenhuma explicação a respeito do assunto. Explicaria porque Han Solo foi morto e Luke Skywalker foi completamente arrasado por Ruin Johnson. Explicaria porque a Disney parece obcecada em acabar com a história dos Skywalkers. Explicaria porque o Galaxy's Edge mostra um cenário nunca explorado nos filmes e também porque não conta com personagens das trilogias anteriores.

E, finalmente, também explicaria o esforço febril da Disney em alienar a legião de fãs cultivada por Lucas: afinal, o plano do Mickey seria destruir tudo o que caracterizava Star Wars e só manter o nome, para prostituí-lo como bem entendesse. Esses fãs ficariam no caminho e atrapalhariam: era simplesmente mais prático se livrar deles o quanto antes, perseguindo-os através da mídia puxa-saco e taxá-los com todas as ofensas possíveis, apenas porque eles não aceitariam ficar quietos observando passivamente enquanto a Disney vilipendiava Star Wars.

A parte da alienação funcionou maravilhosamente bem: a parte na qual ela teria que criar um novo público para o Star Wars Nutella que ela pretendia enfiar goela abaixo desse povo falhou miseravelmente. Nessas alturas do campeonato, os rebeldes (fãs alienados) estão vencendo o Império (Disney). A batalha decisiva ocorre no final do ano, no Episódio Nein (vou assistir).

Unfortunately, the franchise has suffered tremendously for it.


Star Wars has been relegated to direct-to-TV status. How embarrassing.
The future of Star Wars seems to be direct-to-Disney-Plus. With Solo bombing at the box office, Disney halted their plans for more spinoff movies.

The Mandalorian is coming to Disney Plus from showrunner John Favreau. It’s mega expensive, so we’ll see how long it actually lasts.​

However, they seem to be moving ahead with the trilogy from Game of Thrones directors Benioff and Weiss, despite their recently inking a $200 million deal with competitor Netflix.

Oh, and did we mention that those guys are now despised by the Game of Thrones fandom for dropping the ball on Season 8?

Yeah, this might not be the way to win back the Star Wars fandom, Disney. Just saying.


You had ONE job, Lucasfilm.
Han, Luke and Leia all together in one scene. That’s all many Star Wars fans hoped for, and what was expected when it was announced the trio would return for the sequel trilogy.

Star Wars fans expected to see Han, Luke and Leia reunited for one last adventure together in The Force Awakens. After Han was killed onscreen and Carrie Fisher passed in real life, it was clear that this would NEVER happen.​

And when Mark Hamill posted an innocuous image about what he wished would have happened in the trilogy — a sentiment echoed by many fans — Twitter attacked him for it.

​

(I might need a swig of that green milk myself. Alcoholic, please.)


The Force is no longer with this franchise.
The proof is in the pudding. Or lack of it. Star Wars is not making the money it should be making, and Disney needs to take a good, hard look at why and stop burying its head in the sand and blaming the fandom.

Bob Iger’s acknowledgement that the franchise is in decline is a good first step, but it might be too little, too late.

Além disso, tem um rumor circulando que, se confirmado, explicaria parte das merdas que aconteceram desde que Star Wars caiu nas mãos da Disney. Apesar de Lucas ter vendido os direitos da franquia, aparentemente ele teria direito a royalties toda vez que a Disney utilizasse material criado por ele nas trilogias anteriores.

​

Assim sendo, sempre que um cenário ou personagem criado por Lucas fosse utilizado pela Disney, ela teria que pagar uma porcentagem a ele por isso... e para não fazê-lo, o Mickey decidiu destruir tudo o que podia, para possuir completamente a franquia. Isso explicaria porque diabos a vitória da República foi jogada no lixo em The Force Awakens, com quase nenhuma explicação a respeito do assunto. Explicaria porque Han Solo foi morto e Luke Skywalker foi completamente arrasado por Ruin Johnson. Explicaria porque a Disney parece obcecada em acabar com a história dos Skywalkers. Explicaria porque o Galaxy's Edge mostra um cenário nunca explorado nos filmes e também porque não conta com personagens das trilogias anteriores.

E, finalmente, também explicaria o esforço febril da Disney em alienar a legião de fãs cultivada por Lucas: afinal, o plano do Mickey seria destruir tudo o que caracterizava Star Wars e só manter o nome, para prostituí-lo como bem entendesse. Esses fãs ficariam no caminho e atrapalhariam: era simplesmente mais prático se livrar deles o quanto antes, perseguindo-os através da mídia puxa-saco e taxá-los com todas as ofensas possíveis, apenas porque eles não aceitariam ficar quietos observando passivamente enquanto a Disney vilipendiava Star Wars.

A parte da alienação funcionou maravilhosamente bem: a parte na qual ela teria que criar um novo público para o Star Wars Nutella que ela pretendia enfiar goela abaixo desse povo falhou miseravelmente. Nessas alturas do campeonato, os rebeldes (fãs alienados) estão vencendo o Império (Disney). A batalha decisiva ocorre no final do ano, no Episódio Nein (vou assistir).

O Hammil postou esse tweet aí mesmo? Será que não levou reprimendas da Disney por isso não(e por outras declarações)?

Postou sim. Inclusive me recordo de ter abordado o assunto aqui no tópico há um tempo atrás. E certamente o Mickey caiu matando em cima dele porque, poucos dias depois de postar a imagem, ele foi esclarecer suas motivações no Twitter. No fim das contas, sempre que Hamill mostra sua insatisfação com os rumos de Star Wars, ele acaba voltando atrás pouco depois (por livre e espontânea pressão da Disney, muito provavelmente).

Mattel's New Star Wars Barbies Are Amazingly Extra

When you think of “Star Wars Barbies” as a concept, you think it would be very easy for Mattel to just put Barbie in a Princess Leia costume and call it a day. Which, to be fair, Mattel has indeed done. But it has also gone beyond that to deliver two extra Star Wars Barbies who definitely are...well, very extra.

Mattel and Lucasfilm announced a new collaboration series today that will see three new Star Wars-themed Barbie dolls hit store shelves later this year, in line with previous Barbie collaborations that have given us everything from a Ziggy Stardust Barbie, to a 13th Doctor Barbie, to a truly fabulous Dana Scully Barbie, and her associate, Disheveled Fox Mulder.

The dolls aren’t necessarily straight up Barbie in Star Wars cosplay, or Barbie standing in as a character from the galaxy far, far away, however. They instead lean toward Barbie’s status as a fashion icon by re-imagining several Star Wars looks as high-end couture. The closest to a “traditional” Barbie in the trio sees her wearing a slightly more dramatic version of Princess Leia’s iconic gown from A New Hope. She comes complete with cinnamon bun-inspired braided hairdo to accessorize the look, but, also hilariously, a silver purse with the Rebel Alliance emblem on it, and wild high heels?

Those things are not going to handle trash compactor water, Leia-Barbie. But they do look fab. The next two dolls in the line are where it really gets wild though—because they’re fashions inspired by Darth Vader and...R2-D2.

They are, frankly, incredible. As much as I would’ve loved to have seen a Darth Vader body with Barbie’s head on it instead of the helmet, or Barbie essentially wearing R2-D2 as an incredibly unwieldly, boxy halter dress, these looks instead go full on weird and wild. Vader Barbie looks like a cross between Edna Mode from The Incredibles—if Edna deigned to wear capes, that is—and fashion designer Anna Wintour, clad in leather number that wouldn’t look out of place in Star Wars burlesque.

Bartoo-bie-too, meanwhile, is a truly out there look that kind of looks like a mashup between an astromech droid, Lady Gaga, and Dazzler from the X-Men, with some inspired make up and a clever re-imagining of R2's panelled design as a modernist print. And the C-3PO-gold purse she’s clutching? Brilliant.

These are so much more fun than just simply putting Barbie in a Leia, Rey, Jyn, or Ahsoka costume and calling it a day—it’s an honest to god merging of the sensibilities of both Star Wars and Barbie, instead of just franchise cosplay. But alas, such inspired Star Wars fashion demands a collector’s price tag: Each of these Barbie dolls will set you back a whopping $100 each when they release this November.

Bom, a Mattel não anda muito bem das pernas, financeiramente falando. Se é para investir na produção de novos brinquedos, que sejam naqueles que vão ter mais facilidade de saída. Eles sabem muito bem que Barbie MaRey Sue, Barbie Rose Tico e Barbie General Estudos de Gênero iriam encalhar nas prateleiras, da mesma forma que as bonecas não "barbificadas" dessas personagens.

De qualquer maneira, como você bem observou, isso só mostra a absoluta descrença da Mattel com o Episódio IX: as Barbies serão lançadas em Novembro e o filme estreia em Dezembro. Pouco menos de um mês de diferença e, mesmo assim, a Mattel simplesmente escolheu ignorar o possível aumento no potencial de vendas de brinquedos que seria proporcionado pelo filme. Decisão muito sábia, diga-se de passagem, já que esse aumento não existirá ou será simplesmente pífio, conforme demonstrado no relatório financeiro divulgado recentemente pela Disney para seus acionistas.

Rumor: J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson’s Star Wars Movies Were Supposed to Reboot Franchise

A new rumor suggests J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson’s The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi movies were supposed to reboot the entire Star Wars franchise.

​

The rumor comes from Gary Buechler and his source, the same source who indicated George Lucas is still financially tied to the original Star Wars characters. (Related: Rumor: Disney Killing Off Iconic Star Wars Characters Because George Lucas Still Financially Attached)

The source told Buechler:

“Rian was not just randomly writing a story nor was JJ. JJ’s job was to create a in canon reboot like the 2009 movie and introduce the new characters. Rian’s job was to kill off the originals and then you were suppose to not notice it was rebooted. Each was given the outline to make it and what the points were. So now you know why. Disney did not want to pay a license fee and by end of it all looked different and was a new copyright under the old name. They even changed the Falcon to be different. But the orders was in the end to leave nothing original.”

The source added:

“There is this just quick. There was always one plan. After the reaction to The Last Jedi, the decision was made to bring in J.J. to fix the plan he laid out and they threw Rian under the bus. This is why they said Rian might get his own trilogy. They just didn’t expect the backlash to be as toxic as it was and consequently Solo flopped.”

Rian Johnson previously indicated there was no set plan for Disney’s Star Wars sequel trilogy. Johnson spoke to Deadline:

“That’s what’s been really cool about the storytelling process. There is definitely the idea that we know it is a three-movie arc. We know the first film is an introduction, then the middle act is training, meaning challenging the characters. The third is where they all come together and you have to resolve everything. But I was truly able to write this script without bases to tag, and without a big outline on the wall. That meant I could react to what I felt from The Force Awakens, and what I wanted to see. I could make this movie personal. I could also just take these characters where it felt right and most interesting to take them. I think part of the reason the movie feels like it goes to some unexpected places with the characters is that we had that freedom. If it had all just been planned out and written down beforehand, it might have felt a little more calculated, I suppose.”

In an interview with Fast Company in April of this year, J.J. Abrams would discuss how there wasn’t really an overarching plan for the Star Wars trilogy. He even notes there was a “lack of a complete structure.”

“But without getting in the weeds on episode eight, that was a story that Rian wrote and was telling based on seven before we met. So he was taking the thing in another direction. So we also had to respond to Episode VIII. So our movie was not just following what we had started, it was following what we had started and then had been advanced by someone else. So there was that, and, finally, it was resolving nine movies. While there are some threads of larger ideas and some big picture things that had been conceived decades ago and a lot of ideas that Lawrence Kasdan and I had when we were doing Episode VII, the lack of absolute inevitability, the lack of a complete structure for this thing, given the way it was being run was an enormous challenge.”

Interestingly enough, Adam Driver told Vanity Fair that Kylo Ren’s story arc had been planned from the very beginning.

“An overall arc was very, not vague, the opposite, it was very clear—[there was] an end in sight even from the very beginning. The details obviously hadn’t been worked out, but we had talked about the very thing that we’d been working towards with this last one.”

And then to make things even murkier, Colin Trevorrow had initially been brought on board to direct Episode IX back in 2015. He was fired from the project in September 2017. Collider reported that rumors indicated “that Trevorrow’s major point of disagreement with Kennedy was that he wanted to keep Luke Skywalker alive, thus altering The Last Jedi.”

​

Trevorrow spoke to Empire about his firing:

“I don’t want to talk too much about it because I don’t want to affect the way that fans get to see these films. When we were kids, these movies came to us from far away. They were a gift. And the more we talk about how they’re made, the more it reveals that they’re just movies. But they’re not just movies, they’re more than that. Beyond that, I got the opportunity to tell a story that is a celebration of everything I believe in, I got to tell it to George Lucas and I got to tell it to Luke Skywalker, and those are experiences I will cherish for the rest of my life.”

What do you make of this new rumor? Do you think this was Disney’s plan for Star Wars and Lucasfilm from the beginning? Did they want to pull a Star Trek from 2009? Could that have been the reason Colin Treverrow was fired from Episode IX before they brought in J.J. Abrams?

Star Wars Resistance to end with season 2; trailer revealed

​

Good news first? Bad news first?

The trailer and premiere date for Star Wars Resistance season 2 are here — and they include a visit from Kylo Ren.

But the second season of the Disney Channel series will also be the animated show’s final adventure.

The new season will serve as a bridge story that takes place between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. “The final season of Resistance takes place during The Last Jedi and leading up to the events of The Rise of Skywalker,” a Disney rep said. “With the movie coming up in December, this was a natural place to end the show with an epic finale.”

The series followed the beloved Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, which ran for five seasons on Cartoon Network, a sixth on Netflix, and has an upcoming seventh coming to Disney+. There was also the shorter-lived Star Wars Rebels, which ran for four seasons on Disney XD.
Some official description of the final season of Resistance: “The story picks up after a harrowing escape from the First Order, as the Colossus and all its residents find themselves lost in space, pursued by Agent Tierny and Commander Pyre. Kaz and team also face a myriad of new dangers along the way including bounty hunters, a suspicious Hutt, General Hux, and Supreme Leader Kylo Ren. Meanwhile, Tam grapples with her future and where her true allegiance lies, with her friends or the First Order. The thrilling final season will showcase how the unlikeliest of heroes can help spark hope across the galaxy.”

Joining the voice cast in guest-starring roles are Joe Manganiello (Magic Mike) as Ax Tagrin, Daveed Diggs (Hamilton) as Norath Kev, and Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess) as the Aeosian Queen.

Kylo Ren will be voiced by Star Wars Supervising Sound Editor and voice actor veteran Matthew Wood.

The second season of Star Wars: Resistance debuts Sunday, Oct. 6.
