Not just Star Wars but Disney just Doubled down on everything. Tons of new Marvel content announcements and trailers today.

I love a good nap. Sometimes that's all that's getting me out of bed in the morning.

-New Fantastic Four movie
-Captain Marvel 2 announced (also introducing new characters including Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel)
-Ant Man 3 (everyone coming back from 2 plus Kang the Conqueror)
-Christian Bale playing Gorr the God Butcher in the new Thor film
-T'Challa won't be recast in the new Black Panther movie, film will explore other characters
-new teasers for Loki, Wandavision, and Falcon&Winter Soldier
-She Hulk series and Hawkeye series announcement

And probably some others I'm forgetting. Seriously, this conference with all the Marvel/Star Wars stuff was just a nerd overload.

Could see the Ahsoka spinoff coming a mile away but still super pumped about it. The Rogue Squadron movie could be good (Patty Jenkins directing, same person that did the Wonder Woman films). Would love to see them get Donald Glover back for the Lando series. I didn't think Solo were near as bad as some made it out to be and I'm bummed that won't be continuing (as of now) so maybe that series will pick up where it left off

Definitely my favorite series of books in the old stuff that is no longer considered "canon". I wonder how they will handle it?

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

I definitely think that they will pay homage to Stackpole's work but they will probably go fully independent of it. Though I would love it if they converted those books to TV.

I thought this one was going to be set post The Rise of Skywalker? If that is the case definitely independent.

I think the homage route could be a good one. New characters, new settings, but a little reference here or there could be really successful.

A little less on the nose than Solo would be nice.

I do art stuff.

Rogue One is my favorite Star Wars movie. I was addicted to the Rogue Squadron series growing up. Dear lord am I ready to experience this.

The cassian series should be good if rogue one was anything to go by.

He is likely directing. He did direct at least one of the Mandalorian episodes.

So with the Obi Wan show coming and set 10 years after Revenge of the Sith, how cool will some live action Clone Wars Flashbacks be?
