[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9239135, member: 18"] The problem is that it's a [I]faux[/I]-Western - Favreau completely lost the actual "Western" aspects of the show after S1 (hell, he didn't even make it to the end of S1 with them intact), and I don't believe for one hot second he'd be able to get them back in any way that matters for a movie, especially not after how bad he screwed up Boba Fett (which I still kind of like for being [I]so[/I] dumb, but it's pretty dumb). More likely he'd use the Western aesthetic, but totally fail to get at the core of what makes Westerns work, and just end up making a boring movie with no real emotional impact. Low-grade is purely negative too - there's nothing good about it. Also, let's be real - if Grogu is in it, "restrained use of the force" is already completely out the window. His powers get more prodigious pretty much every episode. 100% won't happen any time soon. It got nixed long ago, Laeta Kalogridis was working on it. More importantly, Disney has appropriated the Old Republic aesthetic and vibe (but not lore) for the High Republic stuff, which is set more like 150-30 years before the PT. There's a High Republic TV show in progress already (The Acolyte). It wrapped shooting middle of 2023 and will be out this year. I'd say that latter applies to all SW movies, very much including this one. Disney cannot be trusted to actually complete a Star Wars project until after it starts shooting, and even then they might mess with it. None of the upcoming movies, including this one, have started shooting nor are they close. Note that if you actually click the link to the article, the Rey one is [I]specifically mentioned[/I], and the article is on the official Disney website, so as of right now, Disney definitely doesn't think it's dead. It's when they strategically stop mentioning something that it's safe to assume it's dead rather than merely "unlikely" as all SW movies are under Disney. Some may be pleased to hear they took Damon Lindelof off the project and put the British writer Steven Knight on it. [/QUOTE]
