They end up saying 'hell no' in a really mean way.
Funnily enough, they actually kinda say this in the job site.

It's definitely been a mixed bag. Han Solo's production has been a right cock-up by the sound of it but The Last Jedi's production seems to have gone very smoothly.
They don't start shooting IX until January so refining the story at this stage is a good thing really. At least Kathy and co. are reacting when they feel things need improvement.
I CARE, DAMMIT
or cared
I still care about the conceptual Han Solo movie but maybe not the actual movie anymore.
I just don't know how you can't care about the movie with all the amazingly talented people around it. Maybe not as a Han Solo movie, but just as a movie.
Then, I mean, the directors got fired so maybe all that amazing talent will go to waste or maybe not, I dunno. But at first, though? Goddamn, that was an impressive list of people.

I have a feeling it'll be pushed back.
I'm still pretty confident in it. Howard's a safe pair of hands, I'm still really excited about Glover as Lando and it's a Han Solo film written by Lawrence Kasdan. Seeing that Bradford Young is still on board was another boost.

I care. Ron Howard is going to kill it on this movie.

Kathy Kennedy hinted in that EW article a while back that if Rogue One performed well they'd be more likely to start moving the focus of the spin-off films away from the existing movies.
That would be fantastic.
Star Wars is bigger than.... Han Solo, or the lameass Boba Fett. Sweet Jesus.

I find it really odd that not many of the star wars audiobooks are easily available in the UK, my daughters are ahsoka fanboys so I thought i'd pick up the audiobook for them to listen to over the school holidays but there doesn't seem to be a legal way to obtain it.

Oh yeah, that's weird. Seems like it's on Audible in the US... but not in the UK. I want to buy a legal copy of Clone Wars Season 6/The Lost Missions in the UK too, but there seems to be no way of doing that either. Why don't they want our money?!

I imported The Lost Missions from Amazon Germany. That's probably your best option.

Ahh. I looked at it on Amazon.co.uk but it had a big thing saying the German version was region A and I was, like, 'ah, shit' but now you've said that I've looked at an image of the back of the box and Amazon's talking rubbish cos it's region A/B/C. I'll get that ordered then, thanks.
Man, Howard is having so much fun with the gig, you kinda wish he was doing it from the beginning just to not make it awkward.

Has he done a scifi movie before or at least something like this?

Y'all reckon Doctor Aphra could ever make the transition to the movies, or even the tv show? I've been really enjoying her comic run so far, and wouldn't mind seeing her in more things.
And to have her played by Scarlet Johanson

Well, he also directed Willow. You know, that other 1980s fantasy movie from Lucasfilm, conceived in the 1970s, produced by Lucas with a story from Lucas, starring Warwick Davis, and involving someone from American Graffiti.
And he was one of a few people known to have been offered the job of directing Episode I (alongside Spielberg and Zemeckis).

Recently been on an audiobook binge, and picked up the Thrawn Trilogy. I tried reading it as a kid and was bored out of my mind with it. Always heard good things about it and decided to give it another shot as an adult. On the 2nd book now and I am having a blast with it.
And the audiobook is fantastic. Marc Thompson does pretty good imitations of all the male characters.

Haha, I think it's pretty unlikely at this stage but you never know.
I definitely think it's a possibility she'll be cast in that upcoming TV show as one of the many characters it'll likely to have. When Vader first meets Aphra, she's already an esteemed and notorious archaeologist. I could even see her in whatever cartoon Dave Filoni has coming up.

He's paranoid and nuts from years on the run. He's also sort of the Rebel version of Vader, literally even having to wear a mechanical suit.
It make a a lot more sense when you read the tie in books that have Saw doing crazy terrorist stuff.
Dude's been a rebel all his life, he's lost a lot of shit either to the separatists or the empire. He never stopped fighting and that kind of a thing takes a toll on people.
Saw is a character that is really tragic to see from his introduction in the Clone Wars series to his eventual end in Rogue One. Makes you wonder how he got there and that's when you pick up the books and things that flesh all of that out.

I didn't know ABC News did a Star Wars comic show - Kieron Gillen revealed a bit more about his first arc on Star Wars.

They need to push the timeline forward in the books, I am growing to be sick of seeing Luke jobbing at doing a force push.

So im watching a video about some of the leaked merchandise and the guy mentioned how many people are not happy with Rose and how she is "a new Jar Jar"
WTF is that about?

Thats basically what im asking. what fans/people are saying this?
Normally I don't jump to calling racism but that was my first thought.
How the hell would someone's mind even get to Jar Jar from what we know or have seen of her.
Rose... the new Jar Jar? Where is this notion even coming from? lol.
Now porgs on the other hand... those are blatantly trying to capture the attention of kids, you can already see it from the book and merch leaks so far.
You might have to buy the kids in your life stuffed porgs for Christmas. Just accept your fate now.
