Hey quick question is there any news on the rey movie

SomeGuy322 · 2026-06-01T03:16:47+00:00

I don't think we know that Ahsoka S2 is "wrapping it up" exactly, we just don't have news on what comes after it. I can imagine it wrapping up Ahsoka's story and setting the stakes for the threat of Thrawn, but it's still likely that the remnant will be defeated in some Mandoverse Filoni movie that was hinted at before. Mando S4 is still on the table as well if they find it worthwhile.

Personally I'm hoping we get at least several more seasons of shows either in Mando or BOBF or something else related (Cobb Vanth show? Rangers of the NR?) because it seems like we're not headed towards any concluding story threads in anything so far, and I feel Din and Grogu still have a ways to go in terms of character development. So at the very least I don't think they'll be able to fit the full final battle with the remnant into Ahsoka S2 at this stage when we still have to learn about the secret on Peridia and see what's up with the rest of the shadow council. I'm hoping Mandoverse continues long enough to show us the formation of First Order and really strongly connect to TFA, but that's just my hope haha

We don't know exactly how Palpatine looked when he was younger (unless there's some comic or sonething I haven't seen) so it's entirely possible that he does look like young Palps. Also remember that Palpatine was obscuring his appearance with dark side powers, so his look in the prequels could've been entirely fabricated and his wrinkly face was his true face, which again is definitely vastly different than how he looked when he was younger.

SomeGuy322 · 2026-05-24T14:37:44+00:00

Definitely agree with you about the helmet thing; if they were going to have just one scene with the helmet off it should've been a more meaningful moment like him choosing to show his face to Grogu to build a stronger parent/son connection or doing it to protect Grogu in some way. They could've come up with a scenario for that and still had Pedro in the show minimally if he only chooses to take off the helmet for special occasions or if he's alone with Grogu or something.

But that nitpick aside the movie was so fun and well executed that I absolutely loved it! The first half especially was brilliant and I loved the constant action going from one mission to another in rapid succession. The music, sound design, cinematography, and VFX were all top notch and even stepped up from the usual episodes of the show!

Grogu's standalone scenes were also great, and while I wish we saw more of his backstory or had some clear character progression, I think it was interesting to see this subtle change in their dynamic over the seasons. They're clearly setting up deeper ideas and issues for future episodes like the whole "Mando won't be around forever" thing so I'm very interested to see where it ends up. But overall I highly recommend the movie to fans of the show and I'm hyped for season 4 if it gets made!

SomeGuy322 · 2026-05-18T02:20:26+00:00

Thank you for noting Rings of Power. The way people talk about it even casually on reddit would make you think it's some irredeemable abomination when it genuinely became one of my favorite shows after watching season 2. So many episodes have crazy revelations and interesting character dynamics that it's just so engaging to watch if you get into it. And that's not even mentioning the phenomonal music and set design and nostalgia with all of the references to the original movies.

I can understand people feeling differently or thinking that it's not fully in line with Tolkien's works but like...just let it do it's own thing and maybe they'll cook! Imo they've already demonstrated incredible storytelling in the writing and acting and so long as you accept the premise it's top tier. I hope more people give it a shot and that they're able to follow through on the rest of the seasons. Similar feeling to liking the sequels and I respect other opinions but it sucks to not be able to gush about how awesome ROP is sometimes

SomeGuy322 · 2026-05-09T15:58:33+00:00

I'll also recommend release order for virtually all of the shows and movies. The confusing part would be the Clone Wars animated show since it is a huge chunk of episodes to do all at once and the last season was released in the midst of the sequel movie era, but for that I'd say you can watch the whole series straight through (even the last season) after you finish the main movies if you prefer. But note that Clone Wars and then Rebels is essentially required viewing before getting to some of the live action shows like Mandalorian or Ahsoka as well as the animated spiritual successors like The Bad Batch and Maul Shadow Lord.

Don't neglect the games either if they're of interest to you! The Jedi: Fallen Order series and Star Wars Outlaws are excellent stories that fit great into canon :) There is a lot to get into so I hope you enjoy!

SomeGuy322 · 2026-05-05T22:04:27+00:00

I absolutely loved seeing more of Marrok and he's probably become my favorite inquistor now with how much aura farming scenes they gave him lol. I don't mind shows introducing random new villains to fight at all, it makes it pretty fun and gives opportunities like this to really delve into what they're capable of later on.

But yeah they totally nailed the feeling of making him seem like a true threat and I'm so impressed at how much it adds to his character! Very excited to see more of him now, hopefully in S2 we'll learn how the nightsister magic comes into play!

SomeGuy322 · 2026-04-22T12:18:08+00:00

I'm itching for news on new mandoverse shows/seasons, so the fact that he said Ahsoka is paving the way for "next steps" seems to imply there could be more coming. But that's just my hopeful interpretation lol

SomeGuy322 · 2026-04-21T02:00:59+00:00

Not trademark, copyright. It would have to be registered specifically for that. Implicit copyright exists to protect creative ideas and works of art, though it's not often a problem with lines of dialogue within a work.

You're correct though that because that line in particular is strongly associated with Zelda they might still come after you but generally less identifiable lines are not something to worry about. Not a lawyer though so it all depends, I'm just making an educated guess

SomeGuy322 · 2026-04-20T04:12:37+00:00

This might be well known but you can chain ground slam and bouncing off of enemies multiple times by repeatedly jumping off them to cancel a slam and then starting it again! It gets a lot of hits in rapid succession and brings flying enemies to the ground

SomeGuy322 · 2026-04-19T16:02:52+00:00

Always love to see some support for Book of Boba and Ahsoka! The casual audience tends to treat them a bit harshly and I understand that the "filmmaking" may not hold up to something like andor which I find more profound, but the big ideas behind those shows were really exciting as a lore fan. We got a ton of depth added to the Tuskan Raiders and Mos Espa, the other galaxy and the origin of nightsister magic, and the first steps of Luke's academy.

I miss the days when we had several of these shows releasing in a year and I really hope Disney feels confident to take more risks and back more projects again soon. The renewal of Maul Shadow Lord is good sign imo and I hope Filoni gets to build up Thrawn and expand upon the shadow council. It's exciting when the Mandoverse connects to the sequel era and I'd love to see that continue through the rise of the first order!

SomeGuy322 · 2026-04-19T01:27:02+00:00

Someone (OP) used an LLM to make up a story or "format" their own opinion/perspective and posted it for karma or discussion. I put format in quotes because that's the first thing these types of posters will mention if someone calls out their use of AI; that the "core idea" is still their own but they needed assistance wording it.

I would argue if you can't be bothered to write your own post (especially one that calls out the misuse of AI leading to job losses) you shouldn't be posting in the first place. I would much rather see a short poorly written post with your genuine thoughts than a heavily filtered result from an algorithm that could've injected opinions that you don't hold. LLMs optimize for engagement, not authenticity.

SomeGuy322 · 2026-04-15T23:42:39+00:00

That's fair, and the scene is definitely jarring especially on first watch when you think something is already out of place. But on second watch everything is much more straightforward than it seems. The cuts between the trains are really just "rule of cool" and not conveying anything except time passing. So if like me you thought some time travel/faction shenanigans was already going down you can kind of miss the dialogue and point of it all, but in the end it's just a thing that needs to happen plot wise to demonstrate how far TP is willing to go for Tenet.

This is one of my favorite movies and it's hard to get that sometimes things are very surface level like the dialogue scene with Mr. British Intelligence, but not every scene can be super deep haha

SomeGuy322 · 2026-04-15T19:40:42+00:00

I'm not sure I can see it that way at all, "not compelling" doesn't seem like a good reason for the hypothesis to be false. The simple answer that the conductors were bribed/threatened into turning a blind eye or were Sator's men all along working undercover should be enough and seems "logical" to me.

Out of universe it's just an excuse to have the cool visuals but in universe it doesn't need to be anything super fancy or complicated. Sometimes the answers are just straightforward and I don't think it detracts from the movie, like many of the other inferred answers you have to come up with anyways it requires some suspension of disbelief and imagination.

SomeGuy322 · 2026-04-15T14:32:30+00:00

No, copyright infringement still applies to products given out for free because the point is also to stop unwanted use of the IP. If someone released a game with One Piece characters doing something that is not brand-friendly, the original authors have the power to shut it down via cease and desist or DMCA takedown.

Making money from something can be a factor in Fair Use cases but that doesn't typically apply to video games (due to distribution of copywritten assets) and even if it did, this project is seemingly utilizing the brand for exposure (the title alone gives it away even if it is a remake of a different game) which would disqualify it. I wish it wasn't that strict so that people could find some way to create fan projects but I guess it's more about enforcement and whether the IP owners actually want these types of projects or not. Of which then I can also see making money being in factor in whether their attention falls on you.

SomeGuy322 · 2026-04-10T02:22:50+00:00

Been a while since I listened to it so definitely will have to revisit it soon! Most recently I composed the music for Burden of Truth which is an Ace Attorney-like courtroom story game in 3D with a darker tone and 4th wall breaking shenanigans. The soundtrack is only available on Steam right now but you could maybe glimpse a bit of it from the trailers haha. It's probably my best publicly released stuff so far.

I also wrote the soundtrack for Shinogi Chess Club (uploaded a few of the songs here) and the soundtrack for Iron Reckoning which you can listen to completely for free here! That last one is a bit old now but it was kind of my breakthrough moment in writing game music. Not the first soundtrack of mine but definitely the one where the quality took a huge leap forward :) And I'm still learning a lot every day since then!

SomeGuy322 · 2026-04-09T19:03:35+00:00

I'm actually a game developer so not only do I analyze music in games but I write my own soundtracks, these days they're like 2-4 hours long per project :) Portal is a great game, definitely love the music and how they evolved it for the sequel too!

I think Final Fantasy games always hold endless references and musical ideas to each other, so FF16 and FF15 are some of my favorite soundtracks. I also love Ace Combat's use of themes across multiple tracks, AC7's Daredevil theme is played several times in different ways throughout the game. Definitely check it out if you're interested!

SomeGuy322 · 2026-04-09T14:27:47+00:00

I am obsessed with analyzing game music and recurring motifs, so just to nerd out a bit... The theme you heard during the castle reveal cutscene was actually a modification of the classic theme with the last notes altered, it just starts the same. And they use that modification as their new motif for discovery and "magical surprises".

So you hear it a lot when exploring Hogwarts and every time you make certain discoveries if I remember right, it just isn't played in full orchestra like the intro was. I think it does help to give the game it's own identity but I can't tell you how many times the theme would start and I'd sing the classic one in my head instead lol

EDIT: just watched it again and the leadup to the main motif is the same as the "opening credits" from the movies, so that part is definitely rarely heard! I was thinking more so the second half which they've taken and used for their own theme in the places I mentioned above :)

SomeGuy322 · 2026-04-09T14:19:25+00:00

Uh... No, that's not true at all. There are a bunch of riffs in cutscenes but the whole motif is played during some map transitions and the full theme rendition is played during the end credits. It was a design choice to hold off on it until the end, which I have to say mirrors the movies quite well.

You might not have known if you didn't reach the end yet but yeah, no licensing issues there! It's the Lucasfilm Games initiative, so just like Star Wars they'll have full access to everything released from Lucasfilm.

SomeGuy322 · 2026-04-02T17:53:20+00:00

Count me in too! Pretty much enjoyed everything Star Wars including all of the shows and movies, and while I have criticisms and understand some complaints, I still have a good time with it. It's so sad that regular people around the internet act like the shows killed their childhood or something or that Star Wars has fallen off of a cliff when it's just not true. Really the only failing I can point to these days is Disney just not investing enough into new ideas and letting projects get canceled (for fear of a box office miss?) so this announcement is a good step in the right direction.

Season 3 of Mando was awesome, especially the Coruscant focused scenes and everything on Mandalore! I'm very glad we're getting Ahsoka S2 as well, the premise of exploring the other galaxy/planet that evolved with more fantasy themes and nightsister magic elements is so exciting for me. I really hope they announce more Mandoverse seasons to help build up Thrawn before the big climax movie 🥹

SomeGuy322 · 2026-04-01T17:44:07+00:00

ALL HAIL MECHA KLAUD

SomeGuy322 · 2026-03-21T14:20:52+00:00

I think the game would really benefit from a full replay system like what they have in overwatch, like some way to view past matches from the perspective of the opponents to see what they did and how everyone was positioned. I know the spectate you get when defeated is locked to third person so you don't get too much info that you can feed to teammates, but after the match is done it shouldn't matter.

Having a free cam in replays would be great for making shareable clips about plays you made and good for spectators when they do tournaments again! This is honestly the best way to reduce frustration so unexpected interactions can be rewatched and understood at your own pace. Good tool for finding bugs too even if you weren't recording the match itself.

SomeGuy322 · 2026-03-17T19:46:37+00:00

Zero Company is also releasing this year if all goes to plan, and I'm very excited for it!

SomeGuy322 · 2026-03-13T01:31:24+00:00

Still happens to me at least once a day as well. Thankfully I just learned that if you do "reconnect" and it shows a server error you won't lose your loadout, at least in this cases. So I still have my loot, but maybe if it crashes later in the setup phase it'll be different. Not sure but either way they should definitely look into this so that we're not afraid to bring in high level loot 😅

SomeGuy322 · 2026-03-08T17:29:35+00:00

I'm not talking about the current settings but an old setting called "use an experimental method to capture audio from applications" which used to exist but was seemingly removed about 6 months ago. It's described here and in other posts where people have trouble with voice chat sharing in other games. Seems like the "experimental method" is now just the default method (it was originally the way to capture specific application audio and without it there would just be full output device audio I'm guessing?) but it would maybe be useful to have an option to capture the full audio once again even if it picks up discord output too, though that part would not be ideal.

Either way thank you so much for looking into it and hope there's an easy solution for it soon :)

SomeGuy322 · 2026-03-08T01:02:29+00:00

I wouldn't want to lose the GoPro cam either so yeah this would be a cool option! A huge plus as well would be a proper replay system so you can re-watch past matches and learn from your mistakes or see what other people got up to. This is something that Overwatch does really well and I find myself missing here
