Well, I binged the entire Tales of the Empire yesterday & watched the first 5 episodes of The Bad Batch S3 for Star Wars day yesterday, & I have to say the animation never ceases to amaze me, & I couldn't help but wonder is Lucasfilm & Disney really missing an opportunity to do something special with it animation department? I have made a similar post like this before but it's a thought I can't ignore & keeps me intrigued cause I know this would work. I have called for Disney to turn Shadows of the Empire into a 3D animation TCW style movie several times in the past on here & I have no doubts that Filoni 🤠 & the animation team at Lucasfilm can pulls this off, & reset the course for Star Wars under Disney until they get their damn act together & deliver consistent high quality live action that we know they are capable of (Rogue One, The Mandalorian Season 1 & 2). 

Back in 2008 George Lucas was getting set to release Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Cartoon Network, when watching the first four episodes in a private viewing Lucas was captivated by the animation & said " This should be seen on the big screen." The Clone Wars movie often gets criticized but Lucas released in theaters for it's visual quality not it's story quality. But, I think Disney should return the animation department back to the big screen & what a better place to start than to come full circle & release The Siege of Mandalore in theaters for a limited time two week release to test the waters of launching Star Wars animation on the big screen. The animation in the finale of TCW was phenomenal would be absolutely amazing to experience in theaters. I know most of us are subbed to Disney+ & heck I own a bootleg copy of S7 on DVD but I would definitely go see it, it would be worth the price of a movie ticket & no doubt draw huge numbers. Heck, The Phantom Menace garnered $2.3 million in it's rerelease this past Friday & I know Siege of Mandalore could match or possibly top that.

But, the possibilities are endless if Disney would go into this direction. They could gives us something special imagine if they put Luke, Han, & Leia in TCW style animation on the big screen, giving fans what they desired ten years ago with TFA, & they could get Mark Hamill & Harrison Ford back to voice Luke & Han. I know Carrie isn't around any longer & it wouldn't be the same without her but it could be pulled off well in animation & plus not to mention we still have Anthony Daniels, Ian McDiarmid, James Earl Jones, & Billy Dee Williams around to voice their Iconic characters be a great way to kick things off for a new start. They could adapt so many of the old EU novels into animated films all they would have to do is make a few minor adjustments to make them fit canon & boom.. instant success. I don't know maybe I am being to optimistic about this but if Star Wars is to be relevant again I think this is the best way to go.

Anyway, leave your thoughts on this subject in the comments below 👇 & until next time...
