Moving forward with Star Wars: Where do we go from here?

[obarth]

What can be removed from a Star Wars movie and still be Star Wars?

So much of the story has been defined by the Jedi, Skywalkers, Sith, Empire/First Order.

How can Disney move beyond that and expect to make the money Lucas put 40 years into building. Disney wants money now.

An old Jedi story would fail just because people already know the outcome. Move beyond IX would need Rey to set it up. Go far out into the future and it’s not really Star Wars as we know it and a huge gamble for a risk adverse conglomerate.

The force, light sabers, blasters, space ships, shyt going light speed, different alien species. All of that is Star Wars. Them continuing to make "Star Wars as we know it" is exactly how we got to this point. They said fukk creativity, let's just keep up the fan service. This franchise has not grown since the 80sThe one time they tried to do something new, they were met with huge backlash and reverted to fan service. Blade Runner 2049 was able to do, in one movie, what six movies couldn't do after RotJ. You know the great thing about space? There's a lot of it. Any writer, producer, director worth half a shyt can think up an original story in this universe.

They need to retcon the last trilogy as a bad dream that luke had while he is training the new jedi order to prepare for the Vong invasion

Mara Jade: "What's wrong, honey?"
Luke: "It's nothing. I just had a terrible dream. Goodnight."

Just let it die for ten years

this is the right answer but won’t happen due to the money at stake.

I don't know if the commerical flop Blade Runner 2049 helps your message.

On top of that, we aren't just talking about throwing some space ships, blasters, and aliens on screen is going to make money. Sci-fi flops like everything else but is usually high budget. John Carter, Tron, Velarian, whatever the Wackowskis done since the Matrix.

We are talking about creating new stuff in comparison to one of the most iconic images of our time.

You think Dis(let's remake the Lion King in CGI)ney wants to make merchandise that isn't guaranteed money like Storm Troopers, Imperical ships, X-Wings? Outside of Darth Maul, there isn't much from the PT that sells anywhere near what the OT does. They're still making Jabba's ship from ROTJ. Where's the AOTC gladiator ring playlet?


Star Trek ran into this. Nothing since TNG has been able to creatively step up to what Roddenberry made in the 60s and 80s. iPads were on screen decades before Jobs put them in our hands.

It’s true. All of it. Search your feelings you know it to be true.

Using a company’s past actions is BS. Right.

Just accept it. Disney could have set this movie series at any time or adopted any EU character into a spin off.

They undid the victory at the end of ROTJ to have a resurrected Empire of the exact same weapons and techniques that got beat before.

My bad, I thought this thread was about making good movies

fukk everything I said before then, brehs. The Mandalorian already set the template: baby versions of all the already iconic characters. Y'all telling me Baby Jabba The Hutt ain't finna get them puters putin?Get Lizzo to do the mo-cap and that's an easy kids meal crossover for all the fat little kids. Baby Chewbacca with the good hairBaby General Ackbar. So cute, you won't care it's a trapPrototype Private Grievous, before he worked his way up the ranks

This idea pretty much sells itself, brehsAfter the first baby trilogy, we can do Disney+ shows for their awkward teen years

Good movies don’t equate to franchises or money unfortunately.

I’m just telling y’all what the truth is. Disney didn’t buy Star Wars to tell good movies. If it happens that’s great too.

Galaxy’s Edge, Disney Plus content or whatever is what they want.

That's cool. That means you have no problem with their formula and you'd be cool with them doing what they've been doing. Rise of Skywalker is well on it's way to a billy

 

[Egomaniacal1]

I really though they was gonna go the route of resurrecting Vader thru cloning or that Kylo was going to don it when they kept showing his burned helmet...so sad they didn't do it.

So now i think they are going to go forward having Rey training new Jedi's and maybe looking for Jedi Masters who still may exist around the galaxy to reform the Jedi Council....other than that force power Mandalorians would be kind of dope.

I didn’t say anything about what I’d do or like.I wouldn’t have done the sequel trilogy this way or Solo.

But looking at the world as it is and who is in charge. It doesn’t point to them doing something daring and original.

 

[Peter Popoff]

First do a knights of the old republic explaining the origins of the Sith and Jedi as well as stories about Darth Bane, Revan and Malak.


Next would be a trilogy to the last one. I guess resurrect Darth Bane, the original Sith and create a protagonist that's a descendant of the last trilogy that's looking for the Skywalker children spread throughout the galaxy to restore order. The problem is that Rey and Leia are so overpowered that it makes no sense. These bytches can basically blow up ships with their hands and fly through space. It's fukking retarded.


Finish it with trilogy about the Quill explaining the Midochlorians and the origins of the force to create balance.
