Discussion Best Spinoff Ideas

I agree...

 

I just hope we don't see vader in the sequel trilogy!!!!

 

Lord Optimus - Cad Bane

He has never had a bad feeling about anything . . . He is the most interesting life form in the galaxy.

Air Jedi - I don't always kidnap babies, but when I do, I prefer Dos Jedi's.

He once made the Kessel run because it was on his way.

Lord Optimus - His hat alone is as wise as Master Yoda and as powerful as Master Windu.

Air Jedi - Vader found his lack of faith interesting.

He sleeps with a pillow under his blasters.

Lord Optimus - Dengar challenged him to a battle once, the loser had to wrap themselves in toilet paper.

Air Jedi - He was executing Order 66 before it was mainstream.

I Are The Internets - He was out for a while, but when he came back, NOBODY had delusions of grandeur.

He's been awarded the lifetime achievement on 12 systems.

 

Air Jedi

I used one of your quotes for my signature, I hope you don't mind.

 

Lando Calrissian.Cad Bane .once won a game of Sabacc without looking at his cards.
He just stared at the dealer droid until it folded, literally.

If i were in charge, and I should be because I rock, I'd make a 3 hour film centering on the various Jedi and order 66....focus on the lives and death of the Jedi killed in great detail for half of the film with the second half going into Anakin's character just after he becomes Vader hunting surviving Jedi throughout the Galaxy.

 

That would be awesome

 

Ya I know, thats why Lucas didnt do it in the prequels. It would've made to much sense.

 

They should focus of Dex's Diner.
There should be a food critic character who visits various restaurants in the Galaxy, sorta like Anthony Bourdain
Boba and Han should have a movie together. The Rock could play Boba Fett.
There should be a movie with an intergalactic dance crew as an homage to the Step Up series.
Ephant Mon's friendship with Jabba should be explored
Wicket should join the Rebel Alliance
bring back Ahsoka Tano

 

One-handed post ROTS Mace Windu Yojimbo style Tarantino directed movie. Add Bobba Fett in the mix(he can finally have his revenge for his father death).

 

This is exactly why the spin-offs have to be handled very carefully. Absolutely, categorically, no interaction between main players of the main saga. Spin-offs should be just that - spin-offs without any connotations towards the main story of the 9 part saga.

 

I don't mind at all, I would be honored.

 

Right before dying, Bolla Ropal thanked Cad for gracing him with his presence.

 

They could choose to do any number of in-universe spin offs later down the line, not necessarily having a direct narrative link with the ST.
It would be great if the opportunity was taken to flash back to historical events in the SWU, something like the Wookiees' first contact with off-worlders, the Hutts' rise as crime lords, the early Droid makers etc
Jedi are great but there's other characters in the universe too, and I think the spin-offs should be their playground and the Jedi should stay central to Episodes VII-IX (and maybe X-XII).

 

I've got plenty of 'em.

*What happened to Kitster?
*Something around Plif and the Hoojibs.
*The Nagais are unexplored.
*The adventures of Prune Face.

Just to mention a few.

 

"Game of Thrones" style live action tv series about a bunch of sith lords/politicians trying to take control of the empire after the emperors death. *if the villain in SW7 is a sith then it could lead into SW7*

 

A film set a thousand or so years before dealing with the Jedi and Sith. Basically, a KOTOR-type film. It’s the most logical choice, IMO.

I can also imagine that Disney will want to use the character of Darth Vader in some shape or form eventually, so I wouldn’t be shocked if we saw a film set between ROTS and ANH with Vader hunting down a group of Jedi on the run. They could use the fabulous Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader as a template. I don’t think Vader would be the main protagonist, but he would certainly have a large role.

I do also like the idea of something involving Kenobi set after ROTS.

 

1st post (saw this thread and had to state my opinion)

HK-47 and the Pretty Lights of Coruscant
based on this

Premise is simple, to prove to the adult fans of Star Wars that future movies wont be geared towards mostly children but be kid & adult films to like the OT, we get an entire movie of HK-47 blasting every politician he can in a two hour time slot... mocking the meatbags the entire way through. Just to prove the point that future Star Wars films will focus more on characters than exposition at the expence of characters/plot, and the politics being one of the main ways the PT did that. Not saying no politics in Star Wars (after all whats a war with out some politics), just saying a guilty pleasue movie meant solely to appease a select crowd that felt ignored by the PT... and making HK-47 cannon (good early advertisment for KotOR for those who are movie fans only and never had the pleasure of playing KotOR too. Just imagine the fan reaction for a KotOR movie if HK-47 was known before by the general populas wheny they see him in the trailer for a likely inevitable KotOR future film/new trilogy)

This of course assumes episode 7 will also feature the genocide of the gungans, else lets let HK-47 lose on them first.

 

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

"That's why I am fine with Darth Vader film and I am fine with an Obi-wan film, but under no circumstances should their paths cross before Ep. IV. It would cause too many continuity problems."

Why should their paths have to cross? Personally, I would love to see an OB1 spin-off story taking place between ROTS and ANH. Vader can be in it too and they wouldn't even HAVE to meet. Order 66 was probably still in effect, so OB1 would want at all costs to avoid any Imperial entanglements.

I envision OB1 helping to form and organize the Rebel Alliance while dodging Imperial efforts to hunt him down. The rise of the Rebel Alliance itself could provide much of the story for this spin-off. Also there is the matter of the "training" that Yoda alluded to at the end of ROTS. What was that about? Also, why wasn't Luke's last name changed to Lars as long as Owen and Beru were taking care of him? With all the Imperials crawling around Tatooine, it shouldn't have taken long for Vader to find out that there was a kid named Skywalker living on that planet! What about other Jedi besides Yoda and OB1 that might have been in hiding? I'm sure others can think of even more elements to add to this story.

"When I left you, I was the learner. Now the circle is complete. Now I am the master."

This is a very problematic statement. For one thing, it's not even true. If Vader was talking about the fight on Mustafar when he says he was the "learner", the truth of the matter is he was a full-fledged Jedi knight before he became a Sith and therefore NOT just a learner. If, on the other hand, Vader was talking about being a Sith "learner"/apprentice then the "Now I am the master" part is untrue as Sidious is his master. Does anyone have another take on this?

 

1. I would much prefer Obi spin off to staw away from the Rebellion, away from the Empire, away from the Lars', basically away from anything involved with the main saga. (When I say away from the Empire, I mean away from the Empire in any way that would have connotations towards the main saga.)

2. It could be viewed that while Anakin was a Jedi Master, he was not part of the council. Obi had trained Anakin, was also a member of the council and bested Anakin in a fight.

 

I think that they should either make a prequel to the prequel which would include; Obi growing up, how he became a Jedi, showing more of Quii Gon as a master, and what the Jedi were up to before palpatine got in with the senate, even having Darth Plagiues involved, thats would be interesting!

Or...

The events between Episdoe 3 and IV, that would be interesting, showing what happened to Yoda, how Obi and Yoda learned the path to immortality! How Han came about meeting chewbacca!

Even showing what Vader was upto, was he completely dark, how he overcame the loss of Padme, did he have an apprentice?

 

Another idea..

The whole saga could have just been a dream within Yoda's mind. When Qui Gonn first told Yoda about the boy on tattoine being the one to bring balance to the force, he could of forseen the future,knowing that he would of became evil under Palpatines ruilership, the jedi could have killed palpatine and they could recreate the whole saga again, Qui Gonn wouldnt have to die, Anakin doesnt become Vader and becomes still one of the strongest Jedi of all time. This would bring back OB1 and all the main characters,

 

"1. I would much prefer Obi spin off to staw away from the Rebellion, away from the Empire, away from the Lars', basically away from anything involved with the main saga. (When I say away from the Empire, I mean away from the Empire in any way that would have connotations towards the main saga.)"

Could you give us an example?

2. It could be viewed that while Anakin was a Jedi Master, he was not part of the council. Obi had trained Anakin, was also a member of the council and bested Anakin in a fight.

I'll have to disagree with you here. Anakin WAS on the Jedi council, but only at the behest of Palpatine. Also, are you saying that when a Jedi knight got defeated in a contest with another knight or master that he would have been somehow demoted back to being an apprentice/learner/padawan(?).

 

Best Spin-off ideas

The Rise of Darth Vader and the missing piece where he discovers he has a son.

The Rise of the Rebellion leading to its first victory talked about in the ANH scrawl.

Post RTJ (TCW Cartoon version) Anakin is bought back to redeem himself for his evil crimes aided by his sidekicks Ahsoka and Starkiller with a Force Ghost Obi-wan in toe he goes around helping the helpless and saving lost/fallen souls
