Not particularly, because I believe that the rights belong to the Tolkien Estates. That being said, I don't hate the LOTR or Hobbit Trilogies, I just don't think they are good representations of Tolkien's books. But, I would absolutely watch every movie/tv show created around that IP at least once to see if it was any good
I said "imagine". But then you go hit the nail on the head. I watch with the hope that it gets better.
Here's the difference between LOTR and SW, LOTR started as books. The books are the originals, there is nothing "canon" to Tolkien's works that he did not directly have his hand in writing. Any adaption could not possibly be canon, because Tolkien wrote books, not movies. SW on the other hand was created by George Lucas as a series of movies telling the story of the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker. When his story was told, he made a tv show called The Clone Wars that was related to, but did not directly effect his story. He then gave Dave Filoni (his apprentice) the power to do pretty much whatever he wanted within the galaxy he had thought up. Then he sold SW to Disney so they could continue on the legacy of his story (which, for better or worse, they did). Now Disney is working with people like Filoni and Favreau who know and love SW like you and I do in order to make something that is almost universally loved by SW fans (of course there are those who don't like it, and that is fine, media is subjective), whereas the ST was extremely divisive.
I guess you're not getting it. Trust me, "love" for something does not always equate to
best care despite best intentions. Case in point: take a look at how many have small dogs that are morbidly obese.
No one is forcing you or me to watch Mando, just like no one would force me or Tepes to watch anything related to Tolkien's works. We watch it because we want to. Once we find out we don't like it, we quit watching. I'm not saying that you should quit watching Mando, that is a choice you need to make for yourself, but it is an option.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
Mando is pretty much the only thing that even comes close to really feeling SW in like the last decade. And I can't totally say that my frustration of late is solely due to Disney #$%&ing up SW. Sadly, my OCD makes it difficult to quit something before it is finished, more so if it something that I invested myself in. And I hate to come off as a troll, but until I find a someone more responsible than the DIRECTOR to pin the ever-higher pile of #$%& ups, my wrath falls on Filoni.
It was said by more than a few people who weren't Rogue Squadron or Jedi in the OT. Two Main examples are the guy who gave the driefing in ANH (sorry character name eludes me) and Admiral Ackbar just before the assault on DS II. It seems as if it was taken up by the Rebellion as another aspect of defiance against Papa Palpatine.
But it was still used within confines of Rebel activety. Granted, the OT didn't have much to do outside of the rebellion, but still....
He will be directing the 5th Episode and its both of theirs really. But after looking up some things, it seems as if Filoni and the other two directors/creators who made cameos as X-Wing pilots was an inside joke between Filoni and Favreau that Favreau went ahead and implemented.
Ok?
Just going on context Tabs maybe like a plate or Vin number. "Oh no Transponder or ping? OK. Your going to have to come with us so we can physically check your ship."
Take you word for now. Need to watch again.
If every character did "smart" things...there would be no stories. Don't get me wrong Lazy Writing exists but I don't automatically equate plot convenience with lazy.
She's smart enough to hot-wire a droid to act as a translator, but not enough fix the bigger reason she's in trouble?
Outer Rim, Post Empire, poor creatures....stands to reason their not rolling in resources. If they were she could have chartered a more comfortable and reliable flight.
Maybe
