00:00:02:15 - 00:00:22:10 Speaker 1
Welcome to the heavy spy show. I'm your host, Paul. And this video breaking down all the big
updates from Star Wars celebration. It's been a massive, massive week for trailers. I was going
to be spending some time with my family today, but YouTube comes first and thus
I've became a worse father than Darth Vader. However, there's lots of things to talk about.
00:00:22:16 - 00:00:40:07 Speaker 1
So our mission through this video is to boldly go where no one has gone before and talk about
everything that you need to know from the event. I would open with a sizzle reel of
all the Star Wars content that's coming the next couple of years. Kathleen Kennedy then
arrived on stage. Her eyes glowing red like those YouTube thumbnails.
00:00:40:13 - 00:00:58:14 Speaker 1
And she basically started to go through everything that was coming up. Now,
the first panel that they dropped was for Andor, and the cast joined Tony Gilroy on stage to talk
about the new season. This is actually going to finish filming in August and as we know,
it's going to lead directly into Rogue One. And because of this,
they kind of have a rough idea of when the release date is going to be.
00:00:58:14 - 00:01:20:13 Speaker 1
And they said on stage it's likely summer 2024. Tony Gilroy discussed a lot of things that were
going on in the season. And we also ended with Annie Circus chanting one way out. So yeah,
lots of things, teasing towards what could be coming down the line. I'd
love to see Annie Circus back, and though the character couldn't swim,
he might not be in too deep and be able to get out of the situation now.
00:01:20:14 - 00:01:38:10 Speaker 1
Next up was the acolyte, and this came with a brand new logo for the show. According to
discussing film, Kathleen Kennedy said she was blown away by the four finished
episodes of the show and that she absolutely loved it. We're also going to have a lucky
Jedi. And though it might not be grungy, we do have a feeling that it could be him.
00:01:38:21 - 00:01:56:05 Speaker 1
Legion J will also star as a Jedi master in the show, and the series is going to take a
heavy focus on martial arts. Lucky people at the panel got to see the trailer early and
they said it featured lots of lightsaber twirling. You know, those fancy twirls,
lots of martial arts, and basically lots of things that make it look amazing.
00:01:56:12 - 00:02:14:20 Speaker 1
An ax that was The Mandalorian, where they sort of touched upon what's come before and
those upcoming two episodes of season three. 7 minutes of episode seven were also shown on stage,
and the cast also stepped up and talked. And from here we went to Jon Watts's
Skeleton Crew, which apparently is now in post-production, following a group of kids.
00:02:14:21 - 00:02:40:15 Speaker 1
They go on an adventure throughout the galaxy, and this will be led by Jude Law. Attendees got
shown an exclusive trailer and there were also images posted that show the crew together. Next
up was the OC and if you been paying attention to YouTube, then you'll see the full trailers drop.
Some things coming, something dark.
00:02:46:02 - 00:03:01:06 Speaker 1
I sense it. I absolutely loved it. It's got so many cool Easter eggs in it,
You know, just seeing those rebel characters brought to life really blew me away. And I
can't wait to see it. It's actually releases in August. Knowing my luck,
I'll probably be on my birthday on the eighth. So make sure you get your card ready for that.
00:03:01:13 - 00:03:17:02 Speaker 1
And yeah, lots of things to unpack when we break down that trailer,
probably at some point later in the week because I want a weekend off. Please,
guys. Just that we have some time off. Now, we do know a lot about the cast and Natasha
Liberties will be playing Sabine Wren. Mary Elizabeth Winstead will also star as Hera.
00:03:17:03 - 00:03:35:00 Speaker 1
And we're going to get Genevieve O'Reilly, who'll be returning as Mon mama Thrawn will be
featuring too. And though I don't think we got any casting announcements when it came to him,
we did see the back of his head, which is the back of his head. Let's go wild. Dude,
they are also recreating the finale of Rebels in live action as well.
00:03:35:00 - 00:03:48:23 Speaker 1
And everything is really coming together in this season to build off the back of that. How
popular it is is going to depend massively on how big the fan base is for rebels,
But I love it. And thus I love seeing this trailer. I'm sure
there's lots of newbies out there who have no idea who these characters are.
00:03:48:23 - 00:04:04:10 Speaker 1
So if that's you, then let me know your thoughts below. So yeah,
lots of things to talk about. And Nerdy said on Twitter, even pointed out that we might
see Ezra in the trailer. No one's really talking about it. But yeah, I think it's
worth pointing out and absolutely blown away by how good this trailer looks. Anyway, from here.
00:04:04:11 - 00:04:32:23 Speaker 1
Kathleen Kennedy appeared on stage again. Boo Boo! This.
And she said that it was time to announce the future of Star Wars films. Fingers crossed these
actually get made. I might be wasting your time going over them, but, you know, it is important
to talk about. So. Yeah, let's let's get into it. Now, the first big announcement. It's going to get
a lot of goodwill with fans, I think, and that is that Dave Filoni will be directing a film set
after the events of the mando birth, likely picking up with the Mandalorian characters.
00:04:33:00 - 00:04:55:06 Speaker 1
I think that is kind of the natural progression now, because that Season
three has been a bit rough. Personally, I think it would have worked great as just one big binge
or potentially put into a film if we didn't have those weird cameos that keep popping up
to fill up the season. Anyway, James Mangold will also be directing a Star Wars film too,
and this will be about the First Jedi described as a biblical epic.
00:04:55:14 - 00:05:12:21 Speaker 1
This is really, really interesting to me. My Mangold's an incredible director in my opinion,
and seeing him work on Star Wars will be something really breathtaking. The fact
it's about the First Jedi as well can really flesh out that backstory that we haven't really seen in
live action before. And I think they've got the right guy for the job here to deliver a home run.
00:05:13:06 - 00:05:37:14 Speaker 1
The next is the big announcement that you've probably see him blowing up on Twitter. So
follow me out. Heavy spoilers and that is Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will be directing a
Star Wars film set with a new Jedi Order set 15 years after the sequel trilogy. It's going to see
Daisy Ridley returning as Rey Star Wars sorry, Rey Skywalker. Personally, I'm hoping that John
Boyega returns as well as I think Finn was just picked up and dropped after The Force Awakens.
00:05:37:20 - 00:05:55:09 Speaker 1
The guy who was clearly teased is being a Jedi. And with Rey rebuilding the Jedi order,
I think it makes sense to at least bring him in as one. So yeah, those are the main
announcements. Whether these movies actually get made, you know, you really don't know when
it comes to Lucasfilm. But fingers crossed they do, because they all sound really interesting.
00:05:55:09 - 00:06:11:20 Speaker 1
I'm guessing that they're just kind of in the planning stages at the moment.
My my bet on my safe bet would be that the Daisy Ridley one at least gets made,
and then they kind of build off that. But yeah, it's going to go down a bit of a bit of a storm,
I think, with people's reactions on Reddit, right?
00:06:11:21 - 00:06:28:21 Speaker 1
It was obviously a very mixed character.
So yeah, let me know below if you're interested in seeing this movie or if you know, I think in
general when Star Wars things are announced, you know, people often do go in with goodwill and even
if they've hated things in the past, they're like, well, you know, maybe this could turn it around.
00:06:28:21 - 00:06:50:08 Speaker 1
Generally, the reaction that I tend to see from fans is that they're willing to give
everything a chance if they've been invested in the universe before. And
therefore I think that people are genuinely positive towards this. However, you know,
we will end up seeing the fact that Dave Filoni is getting a movie as well. I think that's really
important as it's something that US fans have been crying out for years and years and years now.
00:06:50:13 - 00:07:07:04 Speaker 1
Guy clearly understands Star Wars. To me, he's the most trusted person, you know,
put the franchise in his hands and I think he'll do really well with it. And yeah,
I am glad to see that announcement, Alex coming through. So yeah, lots of things to
talk about there. We kind of rushed through it. Obviously we weren't in attendance at the panel.
00:07:07:11 - 00:07:24:06 Speaker 1
There are people that were. So if you were there and you're watching this video back thinking
you got that wrong or it didn't talk about this enough, then yeah, the comment section,
guess what? It was designed specifically for you to be able to leave your thoughts and let
you go ahead and do it. If you appreciate me taking some time away from my family for this.
00:07:24:06 - 00:07:41:16 Speaker 1
And I'd also appreciate the thumbs up and make sure you subscribe for Star Wars breakdowns.
Almost every week we are going to be doing The Mandalorian Episode seven on Wednesday,
so keep an eye out for that if you want something else to watch them as a video on
screen right now. Thank you for bearing with me, Abby. Paul, I hope you enjoy the rest of Easter.
00:07:41:17 - 00:08:00:10 Speaker 1
You take a small piece. Yeah, those Easter eggs. And you could say, Oh, oh.
