Agreed there but A24 and the rest of Hollywood are equally as woke as Disney so there's that. Personally I can't see Hollywood surviving past 10 years from now

Wake me up when they announce a reboot trilogy where Luke rebuilds the Jedi Order.
Until then...
Until then...
Here is my pitch for this movie:
Mando (with or without Grogu at this point) is out bounty hunting a dangerous criminal. Big intro action set piece as he clears out a pirate den or whatever, but as he apprehends his man, he finds a necklace or something that sparks a memory he can't quite place. Grogu is able to do some of his new jedi shit to enhance the memory and it turns out Mando had a sister or mom with that necklace and its possible he has family left somewhere.
This leads him on a quest to find them, he recruits some old friends to help, but HE is making the decisions, HE is calling the shots, HE has the initiative and is the driving force, none of this "react to others" bullshit we've seen from him so much lately. It's a cross between Taken, The Searchers, and The Wild Bunch as his band of roughnecks has to take down seedy characters to track down his family from the pirate remnants of Separatist forces out beyond the rim.
Take it far away from the republic, the empire, mandalore, cutesy Tatooine repair droids, or any of that stuff. Keep it focused on Din, his balancing the Mandalorian teachings with the realities of outlaw remote life. Show how his code helps him resist bad temptations but also has to be flexible to new situations. It's also a chance for Grogu to mature a bit and realize the Jedi/Sith binary way isn't the only expression of the Force which is why he is absent for the ST.
So basically this can be a standalone adventure since the Mando and Grogu backstory can be summarized in about 3 lines of dialogue and it's off to the races.

Probably won't take them far away from everything else since they're still doing a Season 4 of the show and they're both obviously going to be in Filoni's Thrawn movie.

It does, That isn't how the force works.
Yes. The concepts of internal consistency and suspension of disbelief DO apply to fantasy fictional stories. There ARE ways to establish "reality breaking" ideas within your world that both adhere to internal consistency (i.e. at no point has there ever been mention of force users being able to ignore the vacuum of space, ships able to lightspeed into other ships (or within atmosphere BTW), or lots of other things) and help maintain suspension of disbelief by making events organically flow in a logical sequence, be foreshadowed appropriately, and have a payoff that justifies the reality breaking moment. None of these things occur in TLJ.

Lolol this fucking image is easily the best thing in this thread. WTF is this from and what is going on?
Who would have guessed, more star wars incoming. Disney has long since diluted both star wars and marvel to the point I don't see how anyone gets excited when the next thing gets announced from either series.

You can almost see the emergency pitch meeting taking place. The panic because everything is on a downward trend, and them jumping feet first into the most popular thing to happen to Star Wars in a long time. I suppose as far as bets go it's the safest they have - at least this will get more than a shrug and a "Who?" gif from people.

If the 3rd season didn't do that well on TV at home, how is this going to be a success in the cinema where people will have to travel and pay to watch it, or is it just another normal Disney Star Wars decision nowadays which i still don't get!.

Imagine a scene where a Sith tries to eviscerate her and the lightsaber gets stuck......I'm Lizzo.....Lizzo Skywalker
Though Ahsoka and Obi-wan have shown that center mass torso stabs with a lightsaber are the Star Wars equivalent of a "through the shoulder" bullet wound...
