[THE 101]

Well the good news for him is Star Wars' geek fanbase sure like to have comedy in their films.

I don't see the point of bringing on any talented filmmaker to helm a Star Wars movie as long as Kathleen Kennedy is still wielding control of the films.

 

[Heretic]

Let it die. Another space epic/saga will come along to take its place.

I can't think of one before or after it. I'm sure I'm just drawing a blank but I can't really think of anything close to star wars. I'd love to see one tho, there's plenty of options out there.

He's not the right director. People keep forgetting this is a space western/samurai flick. It has more in common with Lord of the rings than Guardians of the Galaxy. It was never on some comedy light hearted shyt.

Nah he can do it imo I felt like he had a good feel for Star Wars in that Mandalorian episode he did.

Yeah hopefully Jon Faverau becomes the new head with Faloni as a the creative lead.

He started out the episode with a 4 minute standup routine. Which i admit was hilarious, but i felt like it belonged on a starwars themed episode of robot chicken more than the show. My concern is that he will do that 10x in his own project.

He’s mentioned in interviews he’s had to be restrained in terms of comedy due to it being Star Wars. So even in that episode he was able to play under those parameters.

No he didn't

I just told you he literally started out the episode with a comedy bit. completely stopped the pacing of the previous episode and did jokes for 4 minutes straight.

Well they allowed the scene to make it in so what do you mean? The scene lead in to the dope reintroduction to IG-11 and his new mission.

 

[Mortal1]

Sounds like it’s just rumors brehs

I mean what i said, he relies too much on comedy. I like it, but i don't like it. Not trying see starwars turn into spaceballs. But i like spaceballs

That intro sucked.

AND he had these peons punch BY in the head. THREE TIMES.

AND this abomination:

as a staff, label and mf'n crew take your stupid Aussie/NZ bro humour back down under

 

[Peter Popoff]

Right. Wtf?

That wasn't under Fiege I believe. Lord and Miller were fired from doing Ant Man though.

This dude style of humor is
