Discussion Kevin Feige to Produce New Standalone Star Wars Film

TLJ literally started out with a "Yo Momma" joke, and you are complaining about jokes in the MCU?

 

Feige: Kathleen Kennedy
Kathleen: ...Lord Feige
Feige: You seem unsettled.
Kathleen: No, just... pressed for time, there's a great many things to attend to—
Feige: My apologies! You do have a great many things to explain.
Kathleen: I delivered the franchise that Bob Iger requested. I deserve an audience to make certain he understands its remarkable... potential.
Feige: Its power to create problems has certainly been confirmed. A fanbase divided? An Star Wars movie bombing at the box office?
Kathleen: It was Ron Howard who directed Solo.
Feige: ...you were not summoned here to grovel, Kathleen Kennedy.
Kathleen: No, it's —
Feige: There is no Rian Johnson trilogy. The fans has been informed that it's been postphoned indefinitely
Kathleen: Yes, my lord.
Feige: I expect you not to rest until you can assure Bob Iger that Rian Johnson has not compromised this franchise in any way.
Kathleen: So I'm still in command? You'll speak to Bob Iger about thi-
Feige: Be careful not to choke on your aspirations.

 

I’m not following, already many examples exist of Star Wars stories taking place in different times. I think a film or series of films set in the distant past or distant future would do just fine. We already have many examples of such stories in games, books, and comics. That doesn’t mean they have to take away elements of the force, jedi vs sith, or even empires vs rebels. All of those things exist in KOTOR for example.

The best part of the ST in my opinion is the new characters. I’d like to see more stories featuring new characters.

 

I must have missed the part when Poe said, "Yo momma so fat, when she walked by the TV I missed the whole episode."

 

Empire vs Rebels is in KOTOR? I don't see how that would work. The point being is that so far they've been completely stuck in the OT design mindset. They can't escape it so whenever they go it's just going to look like it's the same period.

I would say to that what new characters? That is the other problem as with the design. All they can do is riff on the already created characters but just make inferior versions of them.

 

I'm really happy with this news, I love the MCU and Marvel Star Wars comics. I think Feige will be adapting something from Legends since that is what he's best at.

They really need to just come out and just confirm the future of Star Wars movies post the Skywalker saga though. Right now we have 7 movies confirmed and also know they are slowing now to at least only 1 every 2 years. So starting in 2022 with B/W trilogy by the time they are all done it will be 2036. It just doesn't add up.

 

yes KOTOR has stories featuring sith empires and Rebels fighting them. Obviously that’s a very simplistic version of the story, but the point is that it’s entirely possible to have stories take place in different times that include Jedi, Sith, the force, and Rebels vs Empires, good vs evil in other words.

 

If this trend continues, more big names will be attached to develop new SW films.

 

I think with all theese new movies after the break they continnue with the one movie a year.

 

It’s important to remember that Kevin Feige is a hardcore SW fan, he loves this franchise more than Marvel.

 

I hope that means more then the OT, and he loves the PT and tv shows and the ST.

 

I don't understand, what you're trying to say? The original characters were simple iterations on mythical characters that have existed forever.

So if you're talking archetype, well there is different variations within all of them..

A character may be "rogue" but what type of rogue? What's motivates them? What's their skillset?

Lots of ways you can go with that. A very easy thing to do would be to write characters in another setting, and transfer them over to Star Wars...

Even Lucas doesn't think this stuff is that complicated(it isn't)...

The big issue(I see)is having some creative courage to break out of established Star Wars aesthetic...

Personally, I think the right path: reduce the problem size. Instead of a galactic problem, make the story more personal...

 

Maybe Feige can convince that director he got when he kickstarted the MCU. That guy was great. What was his name again? Doesn't he have some tv series coming out soon? Geeez...he'd be great for a SW project.

 

Jon Faverou is the one you thinking with iron man, and he's doing the mandalorian now.

 

I know. It was a joke. Like...obviously.

 

oh, sorry little dazed out,

 

Well one thing is for sure Super Hero movies have evolved for the better the Original Super Man Movies were cheesy, Tim Burtons Batman movies were improved style of Super Hero movie but still corny. Then we got the Toby Maguire Spider Man movies and the X Men movies which were improved from Tim Burtons Batman. And then we got The Dark Knight Trilogy and Disney's MCU I think Black Panther was a big game changer for the fact it was up for best picture at the Oscars as will be Joker I am sure Joker will be up for best picture at the Oscars. My point is each subsequent super hero move since Super Man was a Game changer that changed the style of Super Hero movies made them more main stream like Star Wars! I think MCU films are very similar to star wars movies they even go to space the difference some take place on our world but to me all the MCU movies are just as epic as Star Wars! An underrated MCU film was Ant Man And The Wasp I recently saw that and enjoyed the heck out of it! And I love the mid credits and post credits scene in these films would love to see that in a Star Wars film! I would also love to see cartoons in front of these films like the old days Imagine a Rebels or Clone Wars short cartoon before these films or even a Simpsons or Bobs Burgers or Futurama or Family Guy short cartoon before these films all the cartoons I mentioned are owned by Disney so they could do that!

 

It does sound like a one-off. Maybe it will have the potential for growth, if the audience shows interest. That said, I think Star Wars is ready for a Phase of chronological films.

 

I don't see that at all. To me they've destroyed Thor after his first 4 appearances to the last 3 where he's become a joke of a character like the Hulk. I would never have seen a classic character like Thor ending up where he did. They didn't do that to Iron Man or Captain America but Thor got "Skywalkered".

 

They tried going the direction you wanted with The Dark World and it just didn’t work with audiences.

So Marvel revamped him and it’s clicked with audiences ever since.

 

My initial feeling is that I don't like this decision. The ultimate answer to LFL's problems is not to bring in more producers, it's to replace Kennedy.

 

I mean this could be a set up for that. Her contract ends in 2021....

I mean, normally, you don't announce executive producers when declaring projects...

It's either directors or writers..

They're trying to get Feige name(reputation) associated with Star Wars...

 

I like this news. Looking forward to seeing what his movie is about.

I've never been a regular comic book reader so I had no expectations when I started watching the MCU films. They were just something fun and I ended up getting sucked into the story through the characters. For me, I think KF has done a very good job with the overall story among all the movies leading up to IW and EG. The casting has been very good from Hiddleston stealing Thor's thunder in the first film, to making Bucky Barnes a very well done sympathetic character (much better than Crylo) with less than an hour (45 minutes) of screen time especially the movie named for him. There's alot of heart and emotion in the relationships which is something the ST is lacking IMO.
