Shiet I aint getting younger.How in the blazes can people who clearly have some degree of interest in Star Wars legitimately want a decade-long hiatus before the next Star Wars movie following Episode IX? It just... defies belief for me.
Haven't we known that they're going to take a few years off from releasing movies for like a year now
Why is this news
Star Wars the cicada approach.Star Wars must go away for 17 years this time. We are obligated to suffer the trials of our forefathers.
It's now two trilogies.
Those street-broken Reddit impressions for Fallen Order in the previews thread got me hyped, won't lie

Rian is remaking Episode VIII
Yeah? Good.
The only third party movies I've seen be in 4K on Netflix are the Amazing Spider-Man moviesAm I imagining this or wasn't TLJ streaming on Netflix in 4K? Now it just says HD.
/u/Fat_Log said:Okay here we go... I am in no way a game reviewer, or particularly tech savy so just some very average Joe thoughts from about 2 hours of playing...
Game installed fine, requires 55gb.
First things first this game looks AMAZING. I have an old xbone (before S & X) and everything looks so nice. A couple of choppy textures but my xbone is ancient as I say. Lightsabers / lasers really pop. I'm getting massive Blade Runner vibes so far which is awesome. Cut scenes look really nice as youd expect
Running & Climbing to me definitely has a Assasins Creed / Shadow of War vibe. Feels smooth, pretty fast and responsive traversing terrain which is nice! I have fallen off stuff alot when I'm trying to climb but it's probably me being crap.
Skill tree so far looks big! split into three trees (that I have access too at this point). New attacks / Force abilities, everything you would expect. Again a bit like shadow of war in that you upgrade to get new attacks + abilities rather than stats like Dark Souls say. You can preview them and choose what bad assery you want next.
You encounter save points which are kinda of like Dark Souls bonfires, you rest to restore health and force + upgrade but enemies respawn. Pretty cool wasn't expecting that! Bd-1 can also heal you a little bit whilst not at save but only a couple of times.
Okay combat feels AWESOME. As soon as you whip out the lightsaber for the first time I couldn't stop smiling. Normal storm troopers die with one attack or deflection, but heavier troops you need to parry / guard break and you can get execution style animations. Combat feels like Sekiro lite or something along those lines to me. You can hold the block button but really you need to time parries to stagger enemies. Really really fun and duels with more powerful enemies do feel like a challenge, if you don't parry or you run out of stamina you can get rinsed pretty quick. Also I remember reading there's no dismemberment but non human enemies do seem to get chopped in half which is pretty fun.
Theres been a few set pieces so far, kinda similar to uncharted, but after the first hour or so things have opened up and I'm in the first area / planet. It's kinda dark soulsy in that there's places you can't get too, but you can see treasure etc but BD-1s map is pretty useful and shows you paths you haven't been on / your objective / current impassable areas.
Lightsaber customisation looks massive, 6 bits to change I think, with many options in each one from loot found in Game. Like modern FPS's with gun customisation but really cool.
Planets sadly I can't comment on how many there as I haven't had the option to travel anywhere else yet!
So far, its pretty great! Sekiro meets A/C meets Mass Effect meets Uncharted Im loving it after these couple of hours and I feel like I haven't scratched the surface at all
What is up with the weird obsessive criticism of Finn screaming REY? Does it really bother people that much lol.
Loved it in the trailer, was a nice callback to TFA too.
Like, yeah, the trailers for the last Skywalker episode are going to be purposefully vague. What were you expecting?
Some people say Luke's shoulder brush in TLJ is silly, but Rey's hand-to-face gesture here is just as silly IMO. But both are great.
The characters just felt so much more lively and natural in their interactions. TLJ felt a little too.. disconnected and sometimes forced in this regard.
JJ/Kasdan really, really nailed that special charm and chemistry, reminiscent of the OT.
The Mandalorian OT is hopefully finished. I included a small section on the Razorcrest and had to include this BTS clip from Celebration. It makes me smile every time.
I -I think it's a strange criticism.
I don't find the hand to face here strange or silly at all. What?
I fully agree with this.

I'm just gonna copy-paste them from the Reddit thread (where there appears to be more impressions since I last checked):

Fucking EA, man.I just realized this is the first single player focused Star Wars game in nine years since the most disappointing Star Wars game, The Force Unleashed II. Completed that game in three hours.
while it was ridiculous (and so edgy) at times, I really liked the first game.I just realized this is the first single player focused Star Wars game in nine years since the most disappointing Star Wars game, The Force Unleashed II. Completed that game in three hours.
So, what do you guys think that third Disney+ show in production is? I know it won't be but goddamn would I love if it was a Knights of Ren show or something in the ST.
He said in production, which I feel excluded The Mandalorian since that's done. It's possible he misspoke and meant Mando since that's not out already, though.Did I misunderstand or wasn't he referring to Mandalorian, Cassian, and Obi-Wan as the three shows?

After watching The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, I firmly believe they need to do a more family oriented serialized television show with a focus on puppets and adventure. Something that is a lower stakes serialized mix between Little House on the Prairie, Fraggle Rock, and the Ewok's movies. I think there is a good idea to be mined there.So, what do you guys think that third Disney+ show in production is?

Oh shit, that soon?Season 2 of the Mandalorian began filming this week so it is still in production.

WeathersOh shit, that soon?
They should be announcing directors soon, then.
Is that like a record or something, a second season being filmed before the first has even aired?
