The bounty hunter story in SWTOR was one of the better stories in that game.
Young bounty hunter decides to join the Great Hunt an annual bounty competition, forms a rivalry with a jerk that tries to kill him. Bounty hunter kills jerk.
Collects a bounty against a Jedi Knight to win the Great hunt.
Member of the Jedi Council out of revenge makes him the most wanted man in the Republic, all bounty hunters chase him.
Eventually kills the Jedi, the Sith Empire puts a bounty on the Supreme Chancellor of the republic, the Bounty hunter goes to collect it . . .

The Disney streaming service isn't launching until late next year. These Star Wars series are intended to be launch-day releases for the service.
I wouldn't be surprised if they launch the service worldwide (or at least the English-speaking world) at the same time. If they don't, they'll likely make a deal with either Netflix or Crave to make the shows available in Canada, similar to the deal DC made with Netflix to distribute Titans worldwide or CBS made with Crave & Netflix for Star Trek Discovery.

Ya I'm not worried about it being available or not, some way some how it will happen.I think those concerns are a thing of the past now given the way media is so competitive. They need their stuff out now and available to compete.

Yeah, I would guess that when Disney is ready to roll this out its going to be absolutely epic.
I mean, who has more potentially available content than Disney? I cant even guess what they'd offer off the bat in terms of movies and content.
Probably start the rollout with this, the prior Star Wars movies, some of the Old Favourites and all of that crap they threw out from the Disney Channel and that alone is tons and tons of content.
Then they'll start adding things like Marvel and on and on it goes. You'll likely be able to get this Disney streaming service even if you lived on the Moon.

It'll be a while before they'll be able to stream a bunch of the Star Wars films!

Turner paid about $275 million for the six Star Wars movies released between 1977 and 2005, plus the newer titles.

Looks like they are also playing hardball in Disney trying to buy them back.

Seriously though, any idea how long that contract with Turner is for? Disney would probably be better to just wait it out.
Or Disney being Disney they'll just buy Turner.

Contract is until 2024, was an 8yr deal signed in 2016, just before Disney announced they'll be getting involved in the streaming business. And agreed, I don't think this will stop people from signing up with Disney, lots of ways to watch the older movies. Disney is rich with content, and probably one of the only groups that can actually compete with Netflix.

Yeah, you're talking about the Original Trilogy, which is everywhere for 4-5 years. I cant see that being a substantial hurdle.
There will likely be ~10 new Star Wars movies in that time and suckering kids into suckering their parents into stuff is the bedrock of Disney's business model. They'll be fine.

On his Instagram account, Favreau posted a picture from the set of The Mandalorian that shows the prolific director in the company of brothers Joe and Anthony Russo, who directed such smash hits as Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War; Peyton Reed, who directed Ant-Man as well as its sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp; and Taika Waititi, the legend behind Thor: Ragnarok.

Apparently just a visit, not sure how many are involved in the actual show, but pretty cool none the less. Lot of talent there.

Always thought Nick Nolte was one of those people that always looked old...then I looked it up and he's actually 77, and he didn't actually get any prominent roles until his mid 30s. I take it back.
