ST Star Wars 50th anniversary How do we celebrate it? Episode X or XII or reboot or Old Republic movie?

I know that in 2017 we will celebrate the 40th anniversary of SW with the release of Episode VIII on May 26 of that year. But what will happen in 2027 the 50th golden anniversary of SW and how should it be celebrated? Should we have the first film of the SST Episode X be released then or have Episode X be released in 2023 and the last of the SST Episode XII come out in May 2027? That would be a perfect way to celebrate the golden anniversary of the greatest franchise ever! But If Episode X comes out in 2025, Episode XI would come out in 2027 much like Episode VIII in 2017.

Or how about have the first reboot film with Luke,Han and Leia but played by younger actors and be set between ANH & TESB when the Rebels were on the run from the Empire and were pursued across the galaxy from one side to the other or set sometime shortly or a few after ROTJ with the New Republic battling the remnants of the Empire with Han flying the Falcon and Luke piloting his X-Wing or even Leia flying an X-Wing in some awesome space battles against the fleet of the Imperial Remnant.

Or how about a Darth Vader trilogy set between ROTS and ANH where Vader pursues the remaning Jedi across the galaxy and fight the young Rebels or space pirates or any faction trying to sabatoge the construction of the Death Star in some cool space battles in his TIE Fighter or the black Eta-2 interceptor he flew in Lords of the Sith and Tarkin. It could loosely be based on those books.

Or start off an Old republic saga with six,nine or twelve films and be based on some some of the comics or books like The Old Republic Annihilation or Fatal Alliance or any of the books by Drew Karphasyn.

Finally how about a standalone anthology detailing the life of Tarkin or Thrawn or Lando. A Tarkin adventure film would be cool leading the Outland Regions Security Force fleet in multiple space battles or protecting the Death Star construction and helping Vader wipe out enemy fleets of Rebel factions flying Seperatist era ships or a Thrawn film featuring his adventures in the Unknown Regions leading a fleet of ships against multiple threats in the Unknown Regions like the alien warlord Nuso Esva,the Yuuzhan Vong etc. or a Lando film dealing with his adventures flying the Falcon across the galaxy and his heroic piloting in the Battle of Taanab.

 

How about re-releases? There is a very big danger of watering down the SW universe with too many movies. And a reboot would be a bad move IMO.

 

A reboot already looks to be likely what they're doing and I'm not even convinced SW will make it to 50.

 

I voted for a recast movie set between VI and VII, since I think episodes X ++ will move away from Skywalker's and it will be the same stuff just with different names, so I go for the recast version, since the other options were not exciting as well.

 

We are ripe for a new era/timeline. I would LOVE to see thousands of years before ANH.

 

No reboots.
We already had a trilogy for Darth Vader ... see PT.
Can I vote for none of the above?

 

Some things shouId be SIMPLY LEFT THE **** ALONE! No 'Reboot' - God knows NO 'Recasting'!!

For the 50th - PIease Iet the PTB understand that a re-reIease EVENT of the OT on the big screen (aIa what Fathom Events does) wouId be the best route and Iet the Iegacy move forward without bastardizing the fiIms that have come before.

 

or they could make my movie: Luke fighting 50 sith in 2 hours.

 

I hope there will never be a reboot of Star Wars.
And after the ST, they should concentrate more on Anthologies. While I wish that the Skywalker bloodline continues through the ST, they can move away from it after the ST.

There are multiple eras with potential. An Old Republic movie, if executed well, could be a fresh experience for general audiences and also something the fans are waiting for. So I voted the Old Republic movie.

 

The beginning of the Old Republic era. They could spend the time between Episode IX planning their oun version of the Old Republic era, probably with pre-lightsaber Jedi and Sith and a more primitive travel that still takes months to years in order to go from a certain place to another.

Coud be even promoted with something along the lines of "the next era of Star Wars". As some have previously stated, it would be a fresh experience for the general audience.

 

I'd love to see the games remade....I loved the OT on SNES so an updated version of those would get my vote. I'd imagine most people would hope for something a little bigger

I voted for a an Old Republic film, because I felt the biggest short coming of the games was that it didn't actually look like it was set millennia before The Phantom Menace. You could have told me it was a handful of decades before, and based on how everything looked I wouldn't have questioned that. So, an Old Republic film, but only if they really commit to the Old part. However, I'd also love to see a film similar to the Legacy comics. Set something a few hundred years after Episode IX, which 1) allows you to do whatever the hell you want in a brand new time period that doesn't have the word "prequel"attached to it at all, and 2) still allows for Episodes X-XII to be done 10-15 years after IX.

 

I felt the original KOTOR games felt older the only one that didn't really feel old was the MMO. But yeah I would love an old republic movie or even better a pre-old republic movie. For a 50th anniversary movie what could be better than a movie detailing the creation of the Jedi and that movie they could really stylistically make it feel very ancient.

 

I really want Old Republic content, don't really care what media. Just give it to me

 

Hope they would start the Old Republic movies way before 2027.
I say rerelease all 9 main movies in theaters.

 

you mean everything that defines Star Wars? You can take out 1-2 things, but you vote to take away everything? You can call a blaster/pyrates and no force user movie as Star Trek or Guardians of the Galaxy, but not Star Wars.

 

There were plenty of stories in the EU that didn't have Jedi or Sith or the Force or lightsabers or Skywalkers and worked just fine.

 

I completely disagree. Jedi are an important part of Star Wars, but they are not all that is awesome about the GFFA. Rogue One will illustrate this to great effect.

 

This would be fine for me as anthology movies, but not as the main saga. I'm simply more interested in the Asian Samurai part of this universe. My father would have preferred the Cowboy/Western approach, so to each their own.

 

how to celebrate the 50th??
well you release a New Skywalker Saga movie and you also make a dramatized movie of the making of SW by Lucas, let the Lucas fancasting begin.

 

Then they will create another Saga a couple hundred years later.
As long as they familiar planets, aliens, tech, species and so on and so forth I will be content. Thousands of years before the movies, hundreds of years later, doesn't matter to me. Bring it on!

 

I don't see an option for "Build a fully functional Death Star." That's what I'd choose.

 

THIS. Force willing I'll still be around then.

 

Yeah, it doesn't even need to revolve around Revan. I just want to see an early history of the galaxy.
