polishgenius Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Of course all the usual whiners have filled up the comments on that announcement crying about how it's no fair that they've said it's women-centric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russian Doll was one of the best TV shows I've seen in a very long time, but it is almost perfectly antithetical to Star Wars, and boy has Disney messed up what they've done with Star Wars. During the pandemic, does having your project be "in development" with Star Wars mean you're in a lower circle of hell than everybody else "in development"?

I like Russian Doll quite quite a bit so I'll give it a shot. I'm also curious if/when they are going to make official that George Lucas is in with Disney now as has been heavily rumoured for months.

This is great. My four year old daughter is absolutely Star Wars crazy. Maybe this will get her into something other than re-enacting with her dolls the scene where Leia is chained to Jabba.

Kalbear Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I kind of hope we get a young Leia-themed story. Rose would be good too, especially given how much shit she got from the fans, but what I'd love more is more stories of Leia, especially without Han. A high republic story would also be cool.

Darth Richard II Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Betting it’s high republic related, but who knows. Also thanks to someone screwing up a quote on a source some sites are reporting this will be in an alt timeline. It’s not. Don’t fall for the bullshit.

I agree, i eventually wound up really enjoying russian doll despite being initially turned off by the character and the middle class NY bubble. But i can't help but think of a similar character/set-up in star wars. Which is maybe a bit unfair on the creator as she's maybe capable of doing other things and has shown an interest in SF. I guess toned down a bit leia could work well as abrasive spoiled kid who realises things are shit. Maybe Ashoka is getting a spin-off and not just appearing in the mandalorian? Or disney play it safe and have mandalorian/Ashoka as connected shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Don't care when the show is set or who we get in it, I just want decent writers/ showrunners working on the new show. I haven't seen Russian Doll, but most of the talk around it was that it was good. I'd prefer that it's not based on earlier stuff and something entirely new, but I don't really mind previous characters if there is a good story to tell. Plus, it's not another dude behind the camera/ writing the show, which is always a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant point Russian Doll was mostly really good, but I don’t see it’s any real qualification as to whether that will lead to a good Star Wars property. Feels like there are too many other factors around Disney and Star Wars in general deciding the quality of their output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm just terrible at starting shows. I find that more recently I'm much more into watching shows that release weekly as opposed to stuff that's on netflix ( unless it's a cooking show, I'll watch those *all* the time) Will defo check it out soon though.

This does raise the question about what happens now to Russian Doll. Somewhat oddly, they pitched it as a three-season show to Netflix and it was so successful that Netflix renewed it for a second season last June, but as far as I can tell they hadn't started shooting yet. I'm wondering now if the second season is still happening (and if they had a three-season plan, why they ended the first season so completely and definitively).
