I’m sure it’s in one of the many TFA edits out there.

It’s perfectly aligned with the frame and has a string of perforations on one edge. So a physical object of some kind, surely?
A quick search of Attack of the Clones film cells for sale shows that they have a strip this same teal color along the edges (part of the audio). But the reason for this artefact will have to be explained by someone else.
Razor Crest looks pretty cosy.
This just in…actor is excited for work. 😶
Excited for that pay day. I kid, I have nothing against Daisy, I just don’t have any faith in the production.
RIP. Here’s an 2017 interview from back when Jamie Stangroom’s channel was more properly focused on bit parts and other SW faces, instead of whatever is going on these days.

Anyway, back on topic.

Ridley Talks Future “Star Wars” Excitement
"I was like, ‘It’s wonderful.’ It’s wonderful to be part of something that people love and to play a character that people… It’s so weird.
It’s really making me emotional thinking about it. I get to have more adventures. I’m like, ‘Where is she now? What is this new adventure and how are things going to go?’ That’s a long way of saying it’s great. It’s really great.”
I must admit that is a very nice Ghost playset, but these prices? Yikes.
Looks pretty good, hopefully they keep up the consistency. Ventress should probably have been used elsewhere though instead of having to share part of this storyline.
What’s her shoulder emblem?
Any complex examination of Andor is probably best left until season two ends. We don’t know how much the whole post ROTJ world Disney has set up, aka New Republic Dumb Now, will have to be catered to. Hopefully no real kinda set up but here we are.
This random discussion appeared in the main Despecialized thread and I thought it was worth sharing around.
There’s a recent post on fanedits Reddit page about Despecialized having been mentioned on a recent Conan O’Brian podcast. Hmmm…
Any links?
I haven’t actually watched it to confirm, but I think it might be this:

For everyone, it’s at 7:28 into the video that the despecialized movies are mentioned. The whole Star Wars bit starts at 4:55.
Oh right those still exist… allegedly. Still, very odd they’re talking about a Rey cameo but so far nothing else.
Wow that’s pretty strange. I mean the others at least have a basic premise.
Wait a second… what is Levy’s SW movie? I feel like I’ve lost the thread of who’s in and who’s quit now.
Interesting reading, and some good cross overs with the ‘Revisionist Time Traveler’ thread in a few places.

So wait for the finale to stream is what they’re saying right.
A prequel trilogy where Anakin is going on Luke’s journey would work. Then his fall could be offscreen, keeping the twists intact.
Deepfake Luke is a horrible proposal because it will probably look like Indy 5, but it’s also inevitable I suppose. I wonder if it will actually go forward and be a movie though? It could end up like Boba Fett, Obi-wan or whatever is going on with Lando (if anything). It’s more likely to be a feature film than anything with Rey though, which could vanish like previously rumored projects.
It will also be interesting to see if anyone in the general audience is enthusiastic. After all, these properties are like Pixar movies now; streaming at home experiences first and foremost. Didn’t Bob Iger say something about not watering down the brands… but there are still all these titles in pre-production at the same time.
That is… weird. I will just wait and see if it actually makes it do production, like all this other stuff.
As the big climax to a great show? Sure. As one more story after season 3… eh.
I always felt like he chose clones vs robots so that a giant war full of casualties would be family friendly. Actual clone conspiracies or anything too sinister wouldn’t get the merch sales.
Hopefully it is great, yes I agree. I suppose the larger problem is that they’re not talking about the movie itself… because it probably won’t be anything new. There will be a rise and a fall, new disciples, new powers, some evil galaxy scale threat, whatever. Will another three films actually have any material worth seeing? The last three didn’t for the most part. When will Star Wars have relevance again? This generation have had the MCU instead. I mentioned GOTGV3 before not only as a financial success but as a sci-fi trilogy I felt was actually worth seeing all the way through. Problem is now the wheels have fallen off all the Disney owned franchises so where else is there to go…
Well it’s one thing to find inspiration in real life, but it’s another to bring that into a blockbuster franchise. Maybe she should have talked about how things she’s seen in the real world will help bring back depth and humanity to a series mired in lacklustre characterisation and shallow themes? Will the realism of documentaries be combined with the fantasy of Star Wars? I have no idea because that didn’t get addressed, as did any reason for her being hired.
Talking about herself so much just makes it seem as though the project at hand is a secondary concern. It looks as though all the films being produced have enough PR already if there are that many being made, I don’t understand the relevance. You’re selling out and signing your soul away to a mega-corp after all, like so many independent film-makers have done before (whether their movies actually made or not). It’s not some grand philanthropic endeavour.
Disney has a few options, regardless of your opinion on the political soapbox stuff that seems to come around any time somebody employed by them starts talking. One the one hand they should probably just be quiet.
Time works wonders for things like this, and in a few years there will probably be people clamouring to return to the saga. Some parts of the audience will develop total apathy, others will start getting nostalgic. So regardless of whether any of this is a good idea simply getting on with a project quietly should be their first priority. Announcing stuff, making a big fuss, then firing people and shifting it all around makes them look weak and foolish.
On the other hand they need to take action to improve their brand. The TV shows outside Andor have been a total mess in terms of tone and quality. A course correction based on The Rise of Skywalker is probably a bad idea. But if they’re going to do it, they should get on with it. Who is directing something, who is writing it, who cares. It’s STAR WARS. They need to get back into their heads what that actually means and deliver some decent output.
Behind the scenes they’re probably panicking because their only hit recently was Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3, the final note for a series that is essentially done despite all the filler post Avengers: Endgame. If their goal is to make money then they’re running out of people who are willing to spend any. Why they’re wasting time with all this talk is baffling. But then again so is most of their decision making in the past five years.
