TV Discussion The Future of Star Wars on TV

I think Quinlan's ending in the Republic books was prefect and I never really saw the need of showcasing his life past that point.

 

Mostly because it relates directly to George Lucas’s plans. I’ve been hyping up a Quinlan Vos continuation since I was like 12.

 

I want to see Titmouse Inc, gets to make a Star Wars animated series. I enjoyed the Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures shorts, along with Nico and the Sword of Light, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and the Legends of Vox Machina. They have great bright animation and super story.

 

^ Liked just for Lower Decks.

 

I love Lower Decks. A lot. But I don't want that kind of animation for Star Wars.

 

I didn't want that kind of animation for Trek, but eventually I watched LD and realized that it totally worked for the show that the writers had in mind. With the right material, it could work for SW too.

 

What is the Star Wars equivalent of a "sarcastic Vulcan Salute"?

 

Star Wars would need to take it self a bit less serious that already does for anything like lower decks to happen although visions is taking us in the right direction as well as the occasional Star Wars Lego special

 

Star Wars will always take itself serious, outside of lego and small children program

 

the first half hour of the first star wars featured two comical droids, the empire strikes back featured a muppet as the jedi master, the latest star wars featured a group of lost kids looking for treasure

you could just ask easily make a case that star wars has never taken it self seriously

 

All too often, I wish SW took itself more seriously.

 

A story set straight after ANH, in the style of Andor centred around a new Rebel hero. With Mon Mothma, Ackbar, Willard, Dodonna and Rex featuring.

 

I want a Dodonna origin show that's about him and Screed. Starting with the two in the CW and then the transition to the empire

 

I'm not sure if this article which quotes Tony Gilroy has been mentioned yet as I've been avoiding all Andor related spoilers including the threads on this forum but it might be of interest to those in this conversation. I only clicked on the article because of the title, I couldn't resist. As for Gilroy's suggestions I'm not sure which I'd want more, a sitcom or a horror film.

 

Horror...flesh eating ewoks please

 

Tony Gilroy wants hard R

 

Gilory is going to get in his F-bomb in Star Wars by any means necessary.

If LFL is doing a fan Star Wars animation competition, someone should just submit the leaked episode of Detours

 

100% agree with Gilroy. Star Wars is, first and foremost, a world and a visual language. They can and should tell all kinds of different stories, with different tones, within it. The only thematic line I draw is against authoritarianism. Nothing that supports authoritarianism should be made under the Star Wars banner.

 

As long as it feels and looks like Star Wars. Thats my one thing i hope no one forgets

 

“Looks like,” yes, though without being overly strict. “Feels like” is subjective on a whole other level and they shouldn’t be narrow-minded on that front. After all, a bunch of fans didn’t think the prequels either looked like or felt like Star Wars. So whose interpretation of what Star Wars looks and feels like do you use as a standard? Better to open up the door to widely varying interpretations. Which is a big part of why I like Rogue One, Mando S1, Visions, Andor, and Skeleton Crew, the best. I think they’re the most “in George’s artistic spirit” of the Disney era for that reason. They’re not shackled to a specific pulp formula.

 

Deadpool has a lot to answer for!!!

 

We got our Assajj Ventress and Cad Bane stories in Underworld.

 

Yeah, all I care about is quality at this rate. New Star Trek stuff is neither good nor feels like Star Trek (Section 31), lots of new Star Wars stuff “feels” like Star Wars but are pretty bad (Rise of Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, etc), but I’ll take things like Skeleton Crew suburbia or Andor having Steve Earle music over that stuff.
