Is the Rumored ‘High Republic’ Show Animated?

Posted on by

We have been hearing some incoming chatter coming across our various Imperial spies around the Outer Rim. Normally we would not disseminate this information to the denizens of the New Republic because we are unsure of the accuracy of the transmissions. However, we want to make sure that all information is on the table, so that you are not caught unaware in the galactic wilds! Remember to take everything below with a nice big helping of salt!

There have been many rumors floating about the web concerning a mysterious upcoming ‘Tales of the Jedi’ type show for Disney Plus. Putting all the puzzle pieces together, we can deduce that it is going to start filming in June under the working title Grammar Rodeo. Then came confirmation from another source that Grammar Rodeo would be based on the High Republic era of Star Wars. Then a rumor popped up about Jon Watts in talks to direct one or more episodes of a mysterious new Disney+ Star Wars series (rumored to be Grammar Rodeo.).

Finally this bit of rumor mill material popped up from Jordan Maison on Twitter. Jordan is the EIC at Cinelinx and has a few contacts around the industry. He tweeted an image of Icon Creative Studio featuring Monster’s Inc characters and then replied to that same tweet with the High Republic logo.

Could this cryptic tweet mean that he has information that the rumored High Republic show will be an animated outing for Disney Plus? We think we know that Grammar Rodeo is a High Republic show, so could this be one and the same?

Star Wars Celebration 2022 is just around the corner and this may very well be an upcoming announcement during the event. It seems Lucasfilm is keeping their cards close to the vest for now concerning all of their upcoming plans. Star Wars Celebration is intended to be their “San Diego Comic-Con” type of event for the franchise so expect big news to come out of the convention when it hits.

Until then, leave your comments concerning what you think any of this means. Am I grasping at straws? Let me know!

Is John Williams Coming Back for More Star Wars?

John Williams Wins Grammy

From the moment it was released, we all thought that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker would be John Williams “swan song” to the franchise that he helped create. A new facebook post from Cecilia Tsan who is a Cellist at Hollywood Recording Studios, suggests that something could possibly be up.

Now take this with a huge grain of salt… According to her post, she was in studio with John Williams conducting, a new piece of music. The last time they were in the same room, they were working on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Now this could literally be anything, but there has been no announcement for the composer of the Kenobi series as of yet.

Keep in mind, if this is for Kenobi, it could be just the theme song for the series as well. Similar to his work with John Powell for Solo: A Star Wars Story.

With the demand for Williams’ work, this literally could be anything. Williams was recently interviewed by The New York Times, giving a little more information about what he is currently doing…

“I don’t particularly want to do films anymore, six months of life at my age is a long time.” In his next phase, he plans to focus more intensely on another passion: writing concert works.

This year, he will complete what he expects to be his final two films: “The Fabelmans,” loosely based on Spielberg’s childhood, and a fifth installment in the “Indiana Jones” series.

Williams said that he expected The Fabelmans would be the pair’s final film collaboration, though he added that it was hard to say no to Spielberg, whom he considers a brother. (Spielberg, for his part, said that Williams had promised to continue scoring his films indefinitely. “I feel pretty secure,” he said.)

We also have to remember that the Oscars are not too far off, and he sometimes has little pieces of music dropped in the show. Could it be for that? Could it be new Star Wars? Remember this is a huge guessing game, but just the thought of new John Williams Star Wars music is tantalizing.

Of course, leave your thoughts below. Let us know what you think about this new information.
