They don’t screen test Star Wars. They never have on any of them.
Have you heard of the director jj Abrams? He has a huge thing about secrecy.

Look up the source to your story.

It was true though. The project was in development for at least three years and had a director and a writer. We all knew this.

Right, but the 500 times your sources said the announcement was coming that week, they were all false. They never came every time you said they would. My point being you post stuff from unreliable places here too

No. The sources are reliable. The announcement just didn’t come.

Big difference.

Have a look at the sight LL posted. Even a brief glance. Then come back.
It’s all bullshit.

Series writer Hossein Amini spoke with Discussing Film about the upcoming series, revealing that Lucasfilm did have plans to make a movie at first with Stephen Daughtry before eventually switching gear.

"I was initially contacted by the original director for the film version, Stephen Daldry and chatted with him and loved him as a director and then with Lucasfilm, it was more of a conversation than a pitch, I am incredibly gracious about it. They didn’t make it feel like an audition," Amini explained.

The writer also added that he spoke with Lucasfilm about the transition from film to TV series, adding that there were major changes to make it fit in the context of a 6-episode

"I think because of what we were speaking about before, the situation is so complex both for him personally and in a way, the state of the galaxy, you sort of need time to explore it and to be honest there are loads of other stories within that period as well, it’s quite a few years," Amini said. "There is so much going on between episode 3 and 4 that hasn’t been explored. The idea of being able to go into a character journey plus the politics and plus all the vastness of the empire and what’s going on is exciting just because it feels like a proper period of history and sometimes that is hard to do in two hours. Sometimes with two-hour movies there is always an imperative for the action and the plot to move particularly fast and quickly and to go from action sequence to action sequence and there are many more aspects to storytelling that I find interesting."

Totally missing my point completely, but ok. I know the movie or series was happening and it was true. That's not what I'm saying at all. But I'm not going to explain it again

Your point was I was wrong. I wasn’t. We had regular updates on this series being developed. First as a film. Then as a series.
I never posted anything fake. I posted what was taking place.
You then said I posted from unreliable sources. I never have. Nor would I.

Take it back sir. I demand you take it back.

His point was not that you were wrong about it happening, you were wrong when you would say your ultra secret sources were saying there would be an announcement and then there wasn't one. For years, there wasn't one (an announcement) when you said there would be.

We’ve never had this before. A Star Wars series to kill the pain of waiting for the release of a new film. And the last episode is out a week after the film as far as I know. What a time to be alive

It is. And there has to be a plan behind that, too.

I want to speculate responsibly but I’m thinking there has to be some significant tie in or cross over.
What it might Be though is anyone’s guess.
