A new “Star Wars” series is in the works at Disney Plus, Variety has learned from sources. The series hails from Leslye Headland, the co-creator, showrunner, and executive producer of the critically-acclaimed Netflix series “Russian Doll.”

Details of the exact plot of the series are being kept under wraps, but sources say it will be a female-centric series that takes place in a different part of the “Star Wars” timeline than other projects. Headland is said to be attached to write and serve as showrunner on the series, with the show currently staffing. Source

Oh good, there hasn't been enough female-centric stuff in Star Wars lately.

Bugg · 04-23-2020, 12:34 AM

Lol. I love how the first detail revealed is that it'll be female-centric. It's beyond a parody at this point.

ArrestedDevelopment · 04-23-2020, 06:10 AM

$10 she'll step down as showrunner in a few months due to "creative differences".

Yup. But hey, ST defenders will be happy so that is the main thing . . .

It's gotta be a live action Ahsoka, Sabine going to find Ezra right?

Fnord Prefect · 04-23-2020, 03:31 PM

Read a little about her background and some recent interviews. Turns out she's a massive racist, misandrist and hypocrite, sorry, far left progressive.

This is going to be an absolute shitshow.

Hopefully that is saved for another season of Rebels.

ben6543 · 04-23-2020, 05:54 PM

oh boy Midnight's Edge will have a field day with this one. I bet Kennedy will have her hands all over this

Bugg · 04-23-2020, 06:50 PM

It'll probably go into production some time in between the Rian Johnson trilogy and the Dan and Dave trilogy. Next week it will be axed and Disney will announce they will not be starting any new projects for a few years, then a month later they will announce the launch of the Wookieverse with a Chewbacca movie.

For anyone who hasn't already decided to hate whatever this turns out to be, I suggest giving Headland's Russian Doll and Sleeping With Other People a look if you haven't already. I thought both were pretty good.

These are the writers "allegedly"

The final season of Clone Wars has been rather "female centric" the last bunch of episodes but seems to be getting praise for the most part.

Rebels doesn't need another season. It ended perfectly imo.

BUT she might be in the new season of The Mandalorian.

That would be cool.

Because the episodes are great that's why.

Bad haircuts not make one great.

Hey I know, let’s decide we hate something we barely know anything about and be sure to complain about imaginary agendas endlessly all the way up till the premier. You see, none of that will have any effect and we’ll be able to judge the show fairly on its on merits of course.

Why would anybody in a STAR WARS thread watch legitimately good TV made for adults!

Imaginary agendas? Do some research on things this person has said in interviews before you rush to their defence. Also she reportedly just deleted 200 tweets. I am sure there is nothing to be seen there either...

But hey maybe you have the same beliefs as her which is your right. But at least be brave enough to admit it instead of putting down others opinions without sticking your own neck out there.

That's exactly my point though. Everyone's jumping on something without the final product even existing. Sure, they could've announced this new one better, but imagine if they said "Clone Wars will have a female centric arc featuring a pair of bad ass sisters we've never met before!"

The middle arc though with the sisters stunk. It’s like here is an example of a bad female led storyline in the Star Wars universe while this new arc with Ashoka is completely the opposite.

I mean overall I have seen very little praise for the “sister arc” at all.
