Report: Live-action Star Wars series from Leslye Headland in the works

Quote:

From Variety:

"A new “Star Wars” series is in the works at Disney Plus, Variety has learned from sources. The series hails from Leslye Headland, the co-creator, showrunner, and executive producer of the critically-acclaimed Netflix series “Russian Doll.”

Details of the exact plot of the series are being kept under wraps, but sources say it will be a female-centric series that takes place in a different part of the “Star Wars” timeline than other projects. Headland is said to be attached to write and serve as showrunner on the series, with the show currently staffing.

Reps for Disney and Headland did not immediately respond to Variety’s request for comment.

Headland also directed multiple episodes of “Russian Doll.” The show was nominated for 13 Emmy Awards for its first season, ultimately winning three. Headland began her career writing and directing the “Seven Deadly Plays” series, which includes “Bachelorette” and “Assistance.” “Bachelorette” was the basis for her directorial film debut starring Kirsten Dunst. Her other film credits include writing the 2014 remake of “About Last Night” and writing and directing “Sleeping with Other People.” Besides “Russian Doll,” her other TV credits include “Terriers,” “Blunt Talk,” “SMILF,” and “Black Monday.” She is currently under an overall deal at Fox 21 Television Studios, with the studio now under the Disney umbrella.

Did You Catch This STAR WARS Villain Cameo in CLONE WARS? - Nerdist

Quote:

At about the middle of the episode, just after Bo-Katan avoids a crushing death under a falling lift, we see Mandalorian warrior Gar Saxon enter a room where Maul is having a hologram meeting with the other three members of the Shadow Collective. The Shadow Collective is, of course, Maul’s first criminal organization bringing together the galaxy’s major underworld groups. Though there are five major syndicates, Maul is speaking to three. The one in the middle is someone we’ve just recently seen; Marg Krim, the leader of the Pykes, was the adversary of Ahsoka and the Martez sisters concerning a shipment of spice. The other two are more interesting.

The hologram to Maul’s left is Ziton Moj. The member of the lizard-like Falleen species, Moj is the head of the Black Sun criminal organization. Based on Mustafar, the Black Sun eventually joined with Maul’s Shadow Collective and in a coup, Moj murdered the group’s original leader and took over. In the earlier canon novel Dark Disciple, Moj will propose a merger with the Pyke Syndicate that will ultimately result in a war between the two factions. Bad luck there.

We should note, fans of the old Star Wars Legends continuity might think Ziton Moj is the Falleen prince Xizor, most notable in the book and video game Shadows of the Empire. This piece of then-canon storytelling bridged the gap between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. However, like just everything prior to Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm, Shadows of the Empire is not longer considered canon. However however, Xizor was recently re-introduced into canon in, of all things, the Galaxy’s Edge cookbook.

But, finally, the person to Maul’s right. Yes, people who’ve seen Solo: A Star Wars Story should recognize that blonde fella. It’s Dryden Vos, a leader in the Crimson Dawn criminal outfit (Crimson Dawn appears to be the next iteration of the Shadow Collective). Paul Bettany plays the villain in the movie. We already know his outcome and who takes his place in Crimson Dawn. (It’s Qi’ra.) This is Dryden’s first appearance in The Clone Wars, or really any other piece of on-screen media aside from Solo.

This is the end of the Clone Wars, after all. We know what we’re seeing in the cartoon is concurrent to the events of Revenge of the Sith. It’s only about ten years after Sith to the events of Solo, so at least Dryden Vos has a nice long tenure as aboss. Again, tough breaks.

I think there could of have been many ways Anakin could have been prevented from turning to the dark side and I'm sure there are alternate universes where he chose to stay with Padme.

They never really explore those what ifs in officially licensed material.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Ending & [SPOILER]'s Final Scene Explained

Taika Waititi to direct and co-write new Star Wars film; Krysty Wilson-Cairns to co-write screenplay

Quote:

From StarWars.com:

"Academy Award® winner Taika Waititi, who recently won Best Adapted Screenplay for Jojo Rabbit and directed the widely-acclaimed first season finale episode of The Mandalorian on Disney+, will direct and co-write a new Star Wars feature film for theatrical release.

Joining Waititi on the screenplay will be Academy Award® nominee Krysty Wilson-Cairns (1917, Last Night in Soho), who received a BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Film of the Year on the three-time Oscar-winning film, 1917.

In addition, Emmy®-nominated writer Leslye Headland (Russian Doll, Bachelorette) is currently developing a new untitled Star Wars series for Disney+. Headland will write, executive produce, and serve as showrunner for the series, which adds to a growing list of Star Wars stories for Disney’s streaming platform including The Mandalorian, now in post-production on Season Two, and two other previously announced series: one based on Cassian Andor’s life prior to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and another following the adventures of Obi-Wan Kenobi between Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: A New Hope.

Release dates for both Waititi’s and Headland’s projects have not yet been announced."

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga key art revealed

Quote:

From StarWars.com:

"LEGO Star Wars is one of the few gaming franchises that’s truly for everyone. Kids and families play it. Older hardcore gamers play it. Couples play it together. And it’s easy to see why. With a unique combination of challenging puzzles, fun LEGO builds, and tons of gags, the series offers something for all kinds of players. So, to say LEGO Star Wars games are popular would be a LEGO Death Star-sized understatement. And it’s been almost four years since the release of the series’ last entry, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Well, LEGO Star Wars is about to strike back. In a big way.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, arriving later this year for the Xbox One family of devices, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC, will span all nine Skywalker saga films, feature hundreds of playable characters and ships, and allow fans to start at any point in the timeline — a first for the franchise. It looks to be the ultimate love letter to both the series, which began in 2005, and to its loyal fans. In celebration of Star Wars Day, StarWars.com is excited to reveal the game’s key art below — a vibrant image that beautifully pays tribute to each trilogy — and we also caught up with Jonathan Smith, head of production and strategic director at TT Games, and Craig Derrick, managing producer at Lucasfilm Games, to discuss the development of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

Rumor: Hayden Christensen to reprise role as Anakin Skywalker in Obi-Wan Kenobi series?

Quote:

From LRM:

"It looks like Disney or Hayden Christensen are not done with the Skywalker Saga after all! With the recent success of the last season of The Clone Wars and the love for the prequels continuing to grow it seems that Disney wants to capitalize on this wave. Our source shared with me that producers are currently in talks with Hayden Christensen to reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker in the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series! How big of the role is still being debated, so let the theories begin. My guess is that we would see Anakin in some sort of dream sequence that Obi-Wan would have. While this may sound crazy this would not be the first time that Hayden Christensen has returned to this role. Remember at the end of The Rise Of Skywalker we heard his voice in the Jedi sequence with Rey.

Our source mentioned that this would be of course neither confirmed nor denied by everyone at Disney and Lucasfilm including Hayden. The plan is to announce this news at Star Wars Celebration along with Rosario Dawson being cast as the live action version of Ashoka Tano. This makes sense on why Star Wars Celebration has not been canceled yet.

The Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series is scheduled to start production sometime in early 2021. Ewan McGregor is set to reprise his role as Obi-Wan and Deborah Chow will be the showrunner for the six-episode series.[...]"
