I'm not the kind of guy who usually squees but i'm holding one back right now.

This is a nice birthday gift.

Happy birthday Kaiseror!

Also I'm still really against a time skip but EEEEEEE, my boy!

I still wonder if this is going to introduce some variety of "other" that the Diamond Authority's empire fought against. After all, it still strikes me as a bit odd that they had so much of a military division even before Rose's rebellion, and still maintain as much of one as they currently do.

Pretty happy that they're doing at proper timeskip, the only question is how long it was.

Do you think he'll sound any older?

Probably, at least it means Zach would likely be able to speak in his normal voice.

How long do you want to guess the time skip
I'd guess around two years. Four at the most, which would make the movie six years from the series' begin in-show and out.

(Some people are also guessing time has barely past and Steven just willed himself to be older, but why would he do that? Even if he figured out how to change his age at will, Steven wouldn't want to age any faster than Connie or his other human friends.)

What is that thing in the background on the left side of the image? Looks like a tower of some sort.
It does seem to be in the same approximate location. It's definitely some kind of building, but there's no way to tell for what.

Also, looks like the temple got rebuilt.
The temple wasn't damaged (further), just the attached beach house. It's been expanded above Steven's room, there's something tall atop that elbow sticking out of the sand, a crystalline dome like the kind on top of the moon bases was added, and there's some kind of blue orb (the observation orb?).

I like the jacket and new shirt. Those shades of pink and blue suit Steven.
It's a nice remix of his color scheme, changing the shades and moving them around a bit.
Do you think he'll sound any older?
I'm sure Callison will be at least closer to his natural voice.
Nicole Rodriguez has a bunch of "neck Steven" artwork she's been sitting on [1] [2] [3] [4]. Amber Cragg has one too.

(I love how "Neck Steven" seems to have been their Production Nickname for his new design.)

Something about the way Nicole draws Older Steven reminds me of Lupin III for some reason

The >:3 mouths make me think of Amethyst, actually.

...why do I have an urge to watch Lupin III now...

Anyway, I'm just gonna leave this here because I can't think of anything witty or clever to go with it:

I'm excited. Also, huh, from the voice credits mentioned, seems we're getting another Diamond song from Yellow and Blue at least, Sapphire and Ruby, and even Bismuth.

It's been fun.

Timeskip is confirmed to be two years. Steven is now 16.

Hmm. I'm not happy there's a time skip, but at least it's not too long. (Preteen Onion is not something the world needs to deal with yet.)

I'm not surprised by a time skip. It makes much more sense than just picking up right where they left off.

Hopefully they cover what goes on within the timeskip to avoid making it come off like a handwave for certain characters' development or arc resolutions, particularly Jasper's and the Diamonds'.

Hopefully they cover what goes on within the timeskip to avoid making it come off like a handwave for certain characters' development or arc resolutions, particularly Jasper's and the Diamonds'.
I think it's more likely character-important stuff just didn't happen in the meantime. (In particular, I expect Jasper to have barely talked to Steven and company.) The show already had implicit months of inactivity, and it's not like gems change much in two years without external stimulus.

Those two years will probably be consequences of "Change Your Mind" better shown in the aftermath. For example, they could have characters discussing where the uncorrupted gems will live, or just show them living there.


I wonder if anyone but Steven, Connie, Onion, and Peedee will visibly age (as opposed to just dressing differently).
The show only changed opening because they could reused the animation from the short, and there weren't any plans to do it again. But now that two of the main characters are going to look significantly different, it would be surreal if they kept it the same. Maybe they could work another opening sequence into the movie in a similar manner.

A timeskip was really the most logical place they could have gone after the way season 5 ended. The only real lingering plotline is Jasper's redemption

Also a better look at Sugar's art of 16yo!Steven

I'm wondering how the timeskip will effect Homeworld,or if indeed anything will change there,I could them take *small* steps towards giving their Gem citizens some quality of life instead of having them obey mindlessly

A closer look at the rebuilt temple looks like they actually built a Diamond Communication center into it.

Also the CN San Diego Comic Con panel is tomorrow afternoon so expect new stuff about the movie and possibly season 6 to come then
