@3:35 What are you talking about Chris? Star Wars has been a comedy since Disney bought it. A bad comedy sure, but what else would you call what they've been putting out?
He said in an interview that he was tired of everything involving a Skywalker, so there is that. Probably just set in the same universe could work if he just used familiar places and involved something like the huts that everyone is familiar with
I wonder how things might've been different if Ryan Gosling had played Anakin instead of Hayden Christiansen. Ryan IS the better actor & only 1 year younger than Hayden, but could his talent have actually bloomed under George's cardboard directing? I dunno but this whole story has gotten me thinking about it.
Imo the problem with the Anakin role is twofold: (1) Hayden wasn’t allowed to play Anakin in the first movie, but it’s the first movie where the audience is supposed to bond with the character and (2) the wooden dialogue of the second/third movie isn’t helping in selling the romance/anger part. Would Ryan have done a better job? Maybe. But without fixing the main problems, it probably wouldn’t have been enough.
Ryan Gosling would negotiate for a boat load of money as a signing bonus regardless of the movie, making it to production. If his agent is smart, there would also be a time limit to how long he would have to wait before seeking other projects.
Have you guys seen the channel Skywalker Stories? The channel uses a lot of novelization dialogue and AI to bring to life some interesting scenes, such as Darth Plagueis talking to Palpatine, or Darth Vader talking to Qui Gon.
My question is the powers that be….are they willing to own the failures they have created or will they continue to blame “toxic fans” for the overall shortcomings of the Disney owned Star Wars universe
If Lucasfilm was cool... He would be playing Cade Skywalker. Idc about how it doesn't canonically work for Disney canon anymore, I think we're all past that. I want too see Cade go up against Darth Talon and Darth Krayt, flying around in his Mynock ship, taking death sticks to cut himself off from the force.
As fun as the Deadpool films are, they swim in shallow waters. Star Wars being Star Wars depends on the depth of its lore being respected. This has never happened from Disney, since Kathleen is purposely trying to tear it down and rebuild/claim it as her own with her incompetent ideas. No, we don't need to know the origin of objects/names or references to Star Wars brought to us by inferior derivatives of beloved characters from when Star Wars was good.
Why, Chris? C'mon, man. Money. lol And I know you're supposed to report on this kind of stuff but, like, make fun of it because almost nothing Disney announces about Star Wars comes to fruition.
He doesn’t even have a real British accent like both other previous actors who played obi wan , Gosling is just to attract the women and the gays and put off the fans who have been watching it over 30 years
I mean i could see this working if this is a rougie squad style movie but as you and many others have said lucas film can't have any input to it. That i just dont trust to be the case. But this could be pitched to goslin as part of a relaunch. So you say they are getting rid of kk and want a star wars adjacent story like rougue squadran which could go to multiple one off movies or a continued atory. Then as a high profile actor with a person who has a good track record if your heading up the rival for after kk is gone then you could become the new face of star wars. I think that could be tempting enough to draw him in but there is a lot of unkowns here and it would certainly be safer to not do it
they just cannot let it sit, can they? SW needs to be put in a vault and locked away for the next 5-10 years, and then brought back with storylines that actually reflect the old EU... Cheers!
big difference between little sprinkle of comedy like og star wars and marvels nonsense where it seems every other line must be comedy (literal forced cringe comedy)
This film is not getting made. Just like the rest of these 13 announcements. Iger has cut the funds, Mandolorian is the final Bomb to drop. Levy has been writing this since 2022? His next project is a promotional video for Club 21 at Disney Parks. As for Gossling being in talks it's him finding out do you have a story? What is it? When will it be filmed? How much cash am I getting paid? Levy doesn't know and Gossling says well I would like to work with you but not on this project. Talks continue...
Holy shit. Somebody please inform Hollywood that Star Wars is dead. It's been dead. Have you ever seen those old timey photos, where they used to prop up the dead next to the living, to try and capture one last, heartfelt, moment? That's what Hollywood is doing with Star Wars. It doesn't matter whos in it. It doesn't matter what its about. It doesn't matter how many explosions, girl bosses, or exploding girl bosses they put in it (ok, I might actually watch exploding girl bosses...lol)...I digress...it ain't happening. It's over. Done. The limbs are rotting off, and falling to the ground. Good lord, let it die. lol
This is a surprise. I’m not a fan of Levy. He does comedies. Not sure why he’s good for Star Wars. Gosling in my opinion is 2nd only to Jaquin Phoenix ( subjective ofc) . We don’t know if this will be a Gary Oldman in True Romance cameo. If this was a serious director I’d be excited. Not with Levy.
I'm sick and tired of Disney's Temu Wars. Let it die already. And then sell Lucasfilm to someone who actually likes its IP's and who is going to start over. With good intent and exceptional expertise. [I know, will never happen. But let me have my illusions 😉].
Disney / Lucasfilm if you want to have a successful direction I have the stories and a plan for that. If you want to keep walking through the wilderness keep doing what you are doing. Let me pitch please and I will right the Lucasfilm ship through my faith in fans. Have Hope fans!
My favourite actor to watch in my once favourite series of films... and I don't care.
Disney : We... Can't... Leave... It... Alone.
DON'T DO IT RYAN!
Chris let Alan speak.
No.
OBI Wan can blow me ? I’m just Kenobi
Gosling has some young Harrison Ford energy. If the part is written well and suited to his strengths, it could be awesome.
Star Wars. AKA kicking a dead horse.
Obi-Wan Kenoughbi
A layer of humor is different than something being a comedy. No one describes Star Wars as a comedy.
Watching what has happened to the Star Wars IP is a comedy, but a tragic one.
Exactly! Chris rattles off like a list of things that are "cute." Cute is not comedy. lol
Poor Chris, doesn't realize he's in the room place if he's talking about a buffet lol
I'm all in for deleting 7 through 9 and most people are too

If a Gosling Star Wars gives LuKKasfilm an actual win, then KK can finally retire and fade out.
Your assuming what comes next is better . . .
We need a Babylon sequel
Maybe Gosling will be Palpatine's kid, Rey's father. He comes back to find out why she took Skywalker's name instead of his.

Run Ryan, RUN!
Don't do it, Ryan!
*IT'S A TRAP!* 🐙
Wow….cant wait……
Have you guys seen the channel Skywalker Stories? The channel uses a lot of novelization dialogue and AI to bring to life some interesting scenes, such as Darth Plagueis talking to Palpatine, or Darth Vader talking to Qui Gon.
I thought they would announce a Gosling-Nicolas Winding Renf combo
I wonder what his costume will be like? Let me guess… mustard yellow.
Gosling has demonstrated good taste in the past, if he's associated in the product it's a good sign.
Epstein weinstein puff daddy etc gosling is another pedowood turnout. Gtfoh with your pathetic celebrity fawning.
My question is the powers that be….are they willing to own the failures they have created or will they continue to blame “toxic fans” for the overall shortcomings of the Disney owned Star Wars universe
Do any of these movies ever get anywhere near a studio?
I’m a perfect world he’d be Luke’s kid in a complete post Jedi reboot. No Grogu. No Mando . None of it.
Poor Skeleton Crew, The Acolyte was so bad it killed both shows.
If Lucasfilm was cool... He would be playing Cade Skywalker. Idc about how it doesn't canonically work for Disney canon anymore, I think we're all past that. I want too see Cade go up against Darth Talon and Darth Krayt, flying around in his Mynock ship, taking death sticks to cut himself off from the force.

Jake Skywalker = Ryan Gosling

Star Wars is long dead. How many times is Disney going to violate the corpse?
They seem to have have necrophilia.
Did you guys see the trailer for A Knight's War(2025)? Also, how much truth is there in rumors about Toxic Avenger (2025) coming to movie screens?
Please stop: how much more of this dying, empty Disney Star Wars content do we need?
I got a bad feeling about this😅
How many 'new' Star Wars movies is that now!! Please, someone, tell Disney to stop now!!
Cool, make it a musical, maybe get Lady Gaga as well . . . I just can't with Disney Star Wars anymore 😞
I mean i could see this working if this is a rougie squad style movie but as you and many others have said lucas film can't have any input to it.
That i just dont trust to be the case.
But this could be pitched to goslin as part of a relaunch.
So you say they are getting rid of kk and want a star wars adjacent story like rougue squadran which could go to multiple one off movies or a continued atory.
Then as a high profile actor with a person who has a good track record if your heading up the rival for after kk is gone then you could become the new face of star wars.
I think that could be tempting enough to draw him in but there is a lot of unkowns here and it would certainly be safer to not do it
Ryan Gosling would attach himself to a Star Wars project because MONEY. I mean he did Barbie and The Fall Guy.
Skeleton Crew was more entertaining than Ahsoka.
they just cannot let it sit, can they? SW needs to be put in a vault and locked away for the next 5-10 years, and then brought back with storylines that actually reflect the old EU... Cheers!
Make a sequel to the “The Nice Guys” instead Ryan!

Oh, who _isn't_ "developing a Star Wars feature" now? Developing isn't delivery.

We don’t know if this will be a Gary Oldman in True Romance cameo. If this was a serious director I’d be excited. Not with Levy.
Even if I was in Star Wars I wouldn't watch it.
I love Star Wars but it’s time to just let it go
I'm willing to bet that he's not doing it for free.
I liked him in Blade Runner 2049. But Disney Star Wars sucks.
That's gonna be a no for me tho.
Must be fake. Disney Star Wars never has a script ;)
I won’t watch a star wars movie if he’s in it .
I'm sick and tired of Disney's Temu Wars. Let it die already. And then sell Lucasfilm to someone who actually likes its IP's and who is going to start over. With good intent and exceptional expertise. [I know, will never happen. But let me have my illusions 😉].
Ugh. Make it stop.
《STAR WARS: Only Jedi Forgive》
..."Help us, Obi-Ken Benobi, you're our Only Hope"...
...i wonder, does he have a LaLaLandspeeder...?

Never going to happen.
Gosling is such a boring actor.
care to toss your career onto Disney's trash fire ?
WHO CARES! star wars is a dead franchise
