RUMOR: Disney+ To Adapt Popular Star Wars Novel: “Lost Stars” As A Young Adult Animated Series

Lucasfilm is developing multiple Star Wars projects for Disney+, and according to That Hashtag Show, one of these projects is an animated version of the popular Star Wars Novel, “Lost Stars” as a young adult animated series.

The reign of the Galactic Empire has reached the Outer Rim planet of Jelucan, where aristocratic Thane Kyrell and rural villager Ciena Ree bond over their love of flying. Enrolling at the Imperial Academy together to become fighter pilots for the glorious Empire is nothing less than a dream come true for the both of them. But Thane sours on the dream when he sees firsthand the horrific tactics the Empire uses to maintain its ironclad rule.

Bitter and disillusioned, Thane joins the fledgling Rebellion — putting Ciena in an unbearable position to choose between her loyalty to the Empire and her love for the man she’s known since childhood.

Now on opposite sides of the war, will these friends turned foes find a way to be together, or will duty tear them — and the galaxy — apart?

When the novel was originally released in 2015, it helped fill in the gap between “Return Of The Jedi” and “The Force Awakens”.  The novel was written by Claudia Gray and is one of the most popular recent Star Wars novels.

Last month, it was revealed on Reddit, that Canadian animation company ICON Creative Studio was advertising on LinkedIn for a number of roles for “Modeling/Texturing,” “Rigging” and “Animation” on a joint-production with Lucasfilm.   The company has previously worked with Disney on “Elena Of Avalor” “Firebuds” and “Monsters At Work”

If this show is real and gets greenlight it will join Disney's attempt of using Disney+ as the home for Young Adult Animation (Infinity Train,The Dragon Prince, She-Ra The Princesses Of Power,Voltron Legendary Defender, Tales Of Arcadia, Kipo And The Age Of Wonderbeasts &  Adventure Time: Fionna And Cake,) along with Disney’s Rhona Who Lives By The River, Disney’s The Witchverse and that rumored Star Wars Darth Maul animated series.

altairrae

ALTAIRRAE is the world in which fantasy novels GLASS SHARD and VIVA LA VIDA are set, where there’s intrigue and betrayal and, you know, too much gay tension.

the wifeys

the ever-bullshitting wifeys - @terranovas and @hellshores - could take over the world if they weren’t exhausted or procrastinating. for better or for worse, they happen to be the authors of GS and VLV, respectively.

the assclicks

the ever-iconic circle of even more bullshitting idiots, known exclusively as the ASSCLICKS ( yeah we don’t know either ), consist of the main characters of both GS and VLV combined. like stated previously, too much gay tension - except now there’s supreme saintshit and impeccable dynamics in addition.

the beemer

the ever-famous BEEMER happens to be kyrell illeron’s bae gorgeous bmw :) such a gorgeous car, in fact, that the assclicks just had to make a fanblog ( @okbeemer follow because hell why wouldn’t you follow ) - but it’s all right, drystan, we still love you </3

favorite v,l,v quotes ?

“Falling sins and saints, this man was the epitome of morosis. Misspelling address was bad enough, considering Argent had literally wrote it on the paper for him to copy, but a case of knifes? Argent almost wished she had some knives herself to teach this blubbering food a certain spelling lesson.” it’s just so iconic

“The next day, Drystan had vanished, leaving nothing but a shimmering memory. And it was then, and only then, that Kyrell finally understood what the fallen king had truly been sorry for.”

“And sure, the nickname was cute. Being considered one of the Unholy Trinity was cute. But Mech didn’t do cute.” 

“It sounded like a broken scream, a chorus of broken screams, and then - glass. Glass, splintering and fracturing and shattering apart.”

“As far as the world knew, she didn’t have a voice.” / “Which would mean that any semblance of a voice she ever had in this world was gone.”

The Manga Revue, 5/21/18

Remember the good ol’ days when a new Star Wars movie took three years to make, and no one was certain that George Lucas was going to get around to Episodes I, II, and III? I miss those days; new installments felt like a joyful public celebration, rather than a dutiful obligation, and the films were an irresistible mixture of bad acting, thrilling space battles, and earnest conversations about the Force. When I’ve felt a twinge of nostalgia for my childhood Star Wars experience, I’ve found the manga adaptations of the original trilogy much more satisfying than the current batch of Disneyfied films. So I was curious to see what a more recent Star Wars manga might look like: would it explore new territory, or simply recycle the same plot points, a la The Force Awakens, Rogue One, and The Last Jedi? Read on for the scoop!

Star Wars: Lost Stars, Vol. 1 Original Story by Claudia Gray Art and Adaptation by Yusaku Komiyuma Yen Press, 192 pp. Rated T, for teens

Lost Stars is to Star Wars what Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is to Hamlet, a retelling of an iconic story from the perspective of two peripheral characters. Many of the most famous moments from the original trilogy appear in Lost Stars — the capture of Princess Leia, the annihilation of Alderaan, the ice battle on Hoth — though the framing of these events is new, seen through the eyes of two young Imperial pilots: Thane Kyrell and Ciena Ree, both of whom enrolled in the Imperial Academy hoping for adventure and a better way of life.

The inclusion of these scenes is a double-edged sword; they provide a handy point of reference for the Star Wars greenhorn while simultaneously pandering to the hardcore fan by faithfully recreating iconic images and dialogue from A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. There’s a dot-the-i quality to them that suggests that Yusaku Komiyuma was more concerned with nailing down the original details than imagining how Thane or Ciena would perceive — or participate — in these events. The other problem with these scenes is that they’re more dramatically interesting than Komiyuma’s brisk but flavorless adaptation of Claudia Gray’s novel. The most thoughtful elements of Gray’s work — particularly the class politics on Thane and Ciena’s home planet Jelucan — are presented in a bald fashion that reads more like CliffNotes than honest-to-goodness fiction, while important scenes of character development are too compressed. The net result is a manga that successfully bridges the aesthetic gap between Shonen Jump and Star Wars without achieving its own distinct identity. Your mileage may vary.
