    Are their any storyline concepts or themes that haven't yet been depicted in Star Wars media. It can be anything, even a piece of technology.

    I still really want something like Treasure Island, there have been several other Sci-fi Adaptations of it but I would love to see it in Star Wars.

    Superheroes, really. I can't imagine them ever dominating the setting, but you'd expect there to be more than one galactic tech wiz who built a supersuit and fights crime while keeping his identity under wraps.

    No. They rarely if ever evoke the superhero genre, despite their powers.

    Ha. I read all of LotF. Stopped part way through FotJ, though.

    Superhero could work in star wars.

    Eg:
    The son of a wealthy Moff tires of the imperial ways and decides to fight the empire on coruscant by becoming (insert scary star wars alien)-man! Attacking the empire from the shadows, he becomes a figure of hope for the citizens of coruscant. Imagine a cowering imperial commander clutching his blaster and one by one his stormtroopers are taken out from the shadows

    "What the hell are you?!"
    "I'm The Rancor[face_skull] "

    It works :)

    Unless they have Rey end up escaping into the past suffering from amnesia only remembering her master's name so they assume her surname is Skywalker... her eventual owner Watto inadvertedly names her Shmi but when a wandering Jedi notices how strongly her son resonates in the force he fails to notice she is even stronger!:oops:

    A series showing how the empire bdz's a targeted system and their effort to fight back leading to eventually meeting the rest of the rebel alliance?

    Or better yet a series set in the TFA era where the First Order tests Starkiller Base devastating several systems as it prepares to be used on the New Republic explaining what really caused Finn to break his conditioning...

    3PO and R2 travel forward in time (and then back to their own time) via a "rift" in the Droids/Ewoks crossover comic.

    Also - in the Devilworlds comics (Tilotny Throws a Shape) the stormtroopers are taken back in time thousands of years, by one of the Bedlam spirits.
    Ewoks comics again, had one, as did the Boba Fett comics:

    Some guy also time travelled a couple centuries before the PT to a couple decades before the PT. Forget the guy's name though.

    Darth Rivan time travels (as opposed to simply being "stasised" in some way):

    http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Rivan

    whereas Saes Rrogon's ship was effectively "frozen in time" though a hyperspace misjump - being preserved for thousands of years before coming out of the border zone between realspace and hyperspace:

    http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Saes_Rrogon

    After a bit of searching - I believe you were thinking of Bosbit Matarcher:

    That's closer to a Stargate than a teleporter though.

    I thought it was more "Opens tunnel through hyperspace - you move through the tunnel."

    Something like the Eldar Webway.

    Still, depending on the portrayal, it may be more "portal network" than "tunnels".
