Discussion What Future Star Wars Films Would You Like To See Made?

As long as it features Darth P in the background..he looked so good..that better use his design for something else

 

I feel like people said the same thing about the Old Republic. That it was disconnected from the skywalkers and so would appeal to people for being different. Now saying the Old Republic would do that would suggest that the wider audience would be able to tell the difference. The wider audience being more the people who they want watching. Which is probably why these shows and films are the way they are.

The thing with the alcolyte is that it was different. It also have minimal viewership compared to the earlier Star Wars shows. Which will not encourage Lucasfilm. They will always take the careful route out. Even if undeserved.

 

A Darth Bane trilogy starting with the Jedi-Sith war and ending with the establishment of the Rule of Two. C'mon LFL, it's such low-hanging fruit!

 

While the Acolyte did fail, I do think the general/casual viewers of star wars can be invested in a pre-Skywalker era, as long as the story/characters is done well.

Fans love seeing big battles/lightsaber duels, which the Old Republic has plenty of. Made even better if we are invested in the characters and the plot is well done.

 

I think at this point, Lucasfilm/Disney needs to lean into what's worked. And IMO, the two things that seem to have gotten audience's most excited so far were the return of Luke Skywalker in Mando season 2, and the return of Anakin Skywalker in the Ahsoka series, especially during the Clone Wars segment. So that's what Lucasfilm should do. Follow the success.

One, continue the Mandalorian/Ahsoka/Boba Fett post ROTJ storyline and bring in the original ST heroes, Luke, Han, Leia and the gang. It seems like this is exactly what they're doing.

Two, they should do a Clone Wars movie, with Anakin, Obi Wan, young Ahsoka, Mace Windu, Padme, Yoda, Emperor, Grievous, and the main villain should be Darth Maul. If it's good, they can do two more and make it a Clone Wars trilogy.

That's it. Do those two things, and see what happens. Most likely, both would be huge hits, and both would result in several possible spin offs and branches that are totally impossible to predict.

I'm not saying don't try new things. Within the movies, they should make as much attempt to be original and new and different. But give the fans what they want, and just have faith that things will move forward accordingly.

All of this trying to capture lightning in a bottle with something new and original is ambitious and admirable, but it ain't gonna happen.

 

No clone wars movie staring Obiwan, Anakin, Ashoka, etc …

We have seen plenty of them, though I’m down for TCW being truly finished.

I think a Clone Wars movie would work best if focused on non-Jedi, a gritty war movie similar to Rogue One.

Picture a Republic Commando movie. We haven’t seen much of the commandos in current canon during the war.

Getting to see clone wars with modern cgi, etc…

Could bring back Grievious, maybe introduce Ventress in live action.

 

They won't make a Clone Wars movie Starring Ewan, Hayden ect ect. Its just not happening. I think if this was a thing they would have been talking about it a long time ago. They don't even want to make a series 2 of Obi Wan.

I also think new characters are harder sells to the audience. And not particularly that appealing. Unless you are Star Wars version of Iron man mixed with Boba Fett and given a force using gizmo from gremlins equivalent of Yoda.

 

I suspect you are in the minority on this one, but I could be wrong. Not sure how you can say we've seen plenty of them, unless you mean the prequels. We've had one flashback episode of Ahsoka, and seems to me like everyone freaked out over it. The problem with the Obi Wan show wasn't Obi Wan, and it wasn't Ewan MacGregor. There is also a big difference between a tv episode and a well funded summer blockbuster.

Saying we've seen too much Clone Wars already, IMO, is like saying we didn't need Infinity Wars or Endgame because we'd already seen all those characters plenty of times before. Not like this we haven't, not all together in live action.

 

If only someone made a tv show or a movie about those …

Seriously, I realized yesterday that if I ask myself the question in the header of this threat the honest answer is: Anything that actually gets made is fine with me.

To really get my interest nowadays I must see something to reignite the spark. I don’t want the guys who did The Acolyte to do The Old Republic. I don’t want the guys who did Rise of Skywalker to do a Big Three movie. Show me there is another Rogue One in you Disney and I might be interested. Otherwise I’d watch the next movie three weeks after the release date to feel a good sense of nostalgia and hope it is enjoyable. That’s okay. I know I don’t get the Star Wars of my youth back. So any Star Wars is probably better than no Star Wars.
If I shall get crazy about it, they need to make it more special.

So what Star Wars movie do I want to see made? One not born out of corporate logic. One done by a filmmaker passionate about it yet detached enough to actually know what it is about, Era? Plot? Let that dude or gal decide. Just give me something with a spark of magic.

 

Rogue Squadron.

 

Never change, sir.

 

I want to see a Star Wars version of The Seventh Seal. Failing that, maybe a feature length Star Wars Lego movie. Or a film like Prey, but with rabid Ewoks.

 

That bit sounds an awful lot like "things I don't like were done because of corporate logic and things I like were done out of passion" and that's is just not how this works. Whether a creative lead was passionate about the project has no bearing on whether anyone will like the movie or show. Just like said person being a fan or not will have no impact on whether someone will like the outcome. A group of people can be passionate about something yet still deliver something hardly anybody cares about. Just like someone can take a paid job he doesn't care much about and deliver something everyone fawns over. And the perceived quality someone assigns to a movie does not give any indication about corporate influence on the project either. You can have someone with perfect vision of what he wants to achieve, and a studio which offers just the right amount of influence for him not to get lost in his own ideas, and still end up with something that does nothing for the vast majority of the audience.

You don't know whether there is a spark of magic until they are done and people got to watch it. If they could know beforehand, almost all movies or shows that would get released would be great, but they clearly aren't. Because it is an impossibility. Some people may have a bit more of a nose of what could work and what won't, but in general all you can do is try to do your job in the best way you can, and hope the outcome is satisfying.

 

With Acolyte being cancelled I really want them to cast Manny as Raven in a TOR project.

 

I agree. A project being created from passion doesn't guarantee a good reception from most audience.

In fact, I feel a lot of passion from The Acolyte's director, but it's apparently one of the shows without a "spark of magic" according to DarkLordoftheFins.

 

With what happened to The Acolyte, my confidence in Disney portraying pre-prequel era is quite low, especially in its portrayal in the Jedi Order.

The higher ups seemed fine with The Acolytes story and let it get made…and that is concerning.

The Old Republic eras…depending on if a big war is happening, can be dark times for the Jedi. I don’t want that to translate into “we need more stories about how the Jedi are quite flawed….”.

So before any movies are made (even before a potential DoTJ movie). I want to see a new animated/live action series that portrays the Jedi Order well…and has a great story/characters. If Disney can give me that……then I would be open to seeing them give us DoTJ/Old Republic.

 

Darth Plagueis the Wise.

From Qimir apprentice to taking on Palpatine after a Qimir betrayal but then ultimately being murdered by replacement apprentice, Palpatine. With creation of life under The Force an underlying theme giving rise to Plagueis creation of Anakin that Palpatine takes for himself for the future, thus linking to the PT.

I guess what I hoped Acolyte season 2 would be, but focussed on Plagueis, Qimir and Palpatine instead exploring extreme elements of the Dark Side.

In fact to get audiences in perhaps just call it The Dark Side.

A Darth Plagueis movie is what I have wanted since Revenge of the Sith. Haven't re-read all this thread but I am sure others have similar sentiments. Very annoying The Acolyte wasn't taken further forward!

 

Probe Squadron

 

The Great Mouse Droid Detective

 

I've always wanted to see a film based on this description of Vader from the Visual Dictionary:


A piece of "mad human wreckage" who "stalks the corridors of the Imperial Navy" and who is "fighting the resentment and contempt of the higher officers" only to become Tarkin's protege in spite of himself and who gradually develops into the character we know from Kenobi, Rogue One and the O. T.

This would lead on nicely from where we see him at the ends of ROTS where he learns of Padme's death and is broken in both body and soul. It would also provide more time to develop the transition of his personality from Anakin to Vader and give it more plausability by depicting him suffering from a complete mental breakdown and explain why Tarkin is "holding his leash" in ANH.

 

I basically just want to see the galaxy rebuilt, instead of left in a state of apparent permanent chaos like it was in both VI and IX. A real ending to the larger conflict. Ideally, I’d want a proper “final trilogy” that ended that way, as Time magazine back in 1980 indicated the eventual sequel trilogy was supposed to.

(And after that, there’s nothing wrong with an endless episodic series of individual new post-Rey Jedi Knight quests and planetary adventures in a largely peaceful galaxy, that goes on as long as people keep paying for it.)

 

Tere will always be Wars but i hope we see more hopeful galaxy post TROS.

 

Did that Time article indicate it was Leia who would end up restoring political order to the galaxy as Lucas has indicated in more recent interviews? We will never see that resolution now, for obvious reasons.

I agree, though, that there is no proper sense of closure to the saga yet.

 

I don't mind throwing my hat in to the ring for the obvious Vader film.

I also wouldn't be impartial to a film starring the big 3 in some form of adventure set between the first 2 films or even set after Jedi. How they make it work who knows, but it's something I'd like to see.

 

This is a winning strategy imho.

need to fix the single biggest mistake of the ST, in that Leia, Han, and Luke back together again for one short scene in the Falcon. Still can’t believe they didn’t see the need for that scene.
