Re: Speculation : Hot Toys Disney+ Figures "The Mandalorian" + "Cassian" + "Kenobi"
Industry articles that I am too lazy to go digging for. But would guess Boba fans more or less already knew - since apparently there had been a planned Boba movie - a while back. Or something.
EDIT:
And, yeah, I expected more or less "too bad, so sad" comments. *Shrug* Like I said, these shows are products. I thought Ragnarok was hilarious. Plenty of Thor fans found it offensive.
I'm a fan of Mandalorian because the initial vision - more Rogue One like - appealed to me
. Also, IMO, after the ST, Star Wars desperately need to distance itself - or maybe start fresh is a better way to put it. A different focus.
IMO the ST really blew it in the writing, editing, directing, narrative department in introducing new characters. The whole ST should have been 3 movies that showed "this is how you do it". I should have had a whole line-up of ST characters; instead I came to a screeching halt with TFA Rey and Kylo. Popcultcha had Finn 50% off forever - and I just couldn't do it.
And part of the problem with the ST - especially TROS - was bloat and rehash. Not making the leap to completely invest in Snoke as the primary villain, for example.
So, yeah, I'm unhappy that they're not keeping Mandalorian more lean/focused. That Disney apparently is leaping on the gravy train success of Mandalorian. Suspect some of the planned shows (SW and others) are gonna flop, because good writers/directors are tough to get. More doesn't necessarily = more. More can end up being less.
Point taken. Not to mention it can take HT multiple tries with multiple figs before they get a sculpt right. The first Pascal will probably end up looking like Antonio Banderas - but then I can use it on my Zorro fig.
And it COULD be a win-win. Dunno. I hope so. I was pretty involved in Din D'jarin's arc - which to me is pretty interesting. His identity - facing the his upbringing and the real fact that, well, maybe the Death Watch isn't completely wrong about being @ss-kickers either. That's condensing things a lot, but if I really stretch it - it's kinda what Finn should have been. When do you fight, and where do your loyalties lie? Who and what are you?
So Din D'jarin's on the mythic hero journey - e.g. u get broken down and rebuild. Plus Grogu. Plus a potential Mandalorian war. Plus Moff Gideon. Plus the whole Darksaber thing. Hoping Favreau is agreeing with me LOL.
