THE ACOLYTE Creator's "Guiding Principle" For The STAR WARS Show Was "What Would George [Lucas] do?" — GeekTyrant
Before The Acolyte got the axe in 2024, the team behind the Disney+ Star Wars series was following a very specific mantra, one that came from its creator, Leslye Headland: 'What would George do? According to cinematographer Chris Teague, it was baked into the foundation of the show's visual language. In a recent conversation with Gold Derby, Teague opened up about the creative mindset that drove their approach to filming. He explained: 'Leslye would always say, 'What would George do? What would George think?' And that was our guiding principle.' Set during the High Republic era, The Acolyte followed the intertwined paths of Mae and Osha, who where twin sisters played by Amandla Stenberg caught up in a dark mystery sparked by the murder of a Jedi Master, portrayed by Carrie-Anne Moss. The series aimed to explore the rising shadow on the edge of the Jedi's golden age. Teague described their cinematography as rooted in 'elegant simplicity,' something George Lucas himself championed in the original 1977 Star Wars. 'If we're going to move the camera, it needs to mean something. It needs to underline some part of the narrative, or it needs to be connected to some aspect of the choreography, or something like that.' The creative team were looking to do something with different and unique with this show, but for whatever reason, Disney pulled the plug on the show. Reports cited declining viewership as the main reason, but other reports say that the viewership was actually decent. In the end, for better or worse, the series was made with the constant thought of what would George Lucas do? The question is, did you see Lucas' influence on the series while you were watching it?

Fun Trailer for Arnold Schwarzenegger's Action-Comedy FUBAR Season 2 with Carrie-Anne Moss — GeekTyrant
Netflix has released the first trailer for Season 2 of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carrie-Anne Moss' action-comedy series Fubar . Schwarzenegger is returning as grizzled CIA vet Luke Brunner, who is once again teamed up with Monica Barbaro as Emma, his daughter and fellow operative. The father-daughter duo is back on the job, and this time the threat is personal. Moss joins the story as an ex–East German spy. According to Netflix, Greta is 'an old flame from his past who threatens to destroy the world… if she doesn't destroy [Luke's] life first.' Moss talked about the experience of working with Schwarzenegger, saying: 'I watched the show, and I laughed so hard, and in the way that he described Greta, I just thought it would be really, really fun. And, of course, working with Arnold was just an amazing thought in my mind — like, how amazing would that be?' 'The first time that I met him was actually in a dance rehearsal. We just jumped in, and it was just so fun. He's just a hoot. We got to know each other, rehearsing to start with, and then on the set, and then we'd run into each other at the gym and have breakfast. I mean, fun is just the word that comes up all the time.' You'll see the two dance together in the trailer. Schwarzenegger went into filming just after open-heart surgery. Back in March, he addressed concerns about his health and the show's schedule, saying: 'I've gotten so many kind messages from all over the world, but a lot of people have asked if my pacemaker will cause any problems with Fubar Season 2. Absolutely not. I will be ready to film in April and you can only see it if you're really looking for it.' Moss joins a packed returning cast that includes Barbaro, Fortune Feimster, Travis Van Winkle, Jay Baruchel, Aparna Brielle, Andy Buckley, Milan Carter, Fabiana Udenio, and Barbara Eve Harris. Fubar is the creator of Nick Santora, who returns as showrunner, and executive producer. The series is set to premiere on June 12th.
