Willow

Wow really? Is little opie cunningham running it?

Warwick Davis has the Patrick Stewart gene, looks like he's reverse ageing. Thought he and Val were great in the first one, Warwick is pretty damn funny. Not sure where Kilmer is with the throat cancer though. Sucks that it happened just as he was primed for a comeback.

Their meet the cast trailer sets a fun tone:

Great, another fond childhood memory to be destroyed because they don't have the creativity to come up with their own brand.

I think Disney got it along with everything else Lucas had when they made him a multibillionaire, so why wouldn't they see if they can squeeze it for some $$$?

I'm hoping Leslie Jones or Chaz Bono gets casted as Madmartigan.

Fuck that bring on fat/tired retired Madmartigan, Val would crush it.

What? That was cringe as fuck.

I have less than zero hope this series will be anything but a complete trainwreck.

not gonna lie, I am hyped for this and very very happy it's a continuation and not a remake! Loved the original as I was growing up and never though there would be more.

This doesn't look bad at all.

Disney+ fuuuuuuck . Wonder where it will fall in the rankings between new lotro and new WoT series. Its like the battle of who can ruin an awesome original idea the most.

this is gonna sound crazy, but i never saw Willow at least not completely. i saw parts of it a bunch of times on HBO as a kid and it never got me into the movie enough to watch the whole thing. its pretty cool they have the original star reprising his role and he's a ginger. maybe they decided not to include the wise obese black woman who saves the day in the trailer. how the fuck did this scoot under the Disney radar without a diversity hire? eh i'll check it out and maybe even watch the original movie if this turns out decent.

No Kilmer, no care

I havent seen the movie since I was a kid and barely remember anything. Show looks decent.

Only way I see them bringing Kilmer and the original Madmartigan back is if he's retired and trained his replacement.
