Discussion Where does Star Wars go as an IP from here?

Which kind of underlines the fact that the ST is totally disconnected. The 'Skywalker Saga' should be viewed as a 9 chapter book (or a 3 act play with each trilogy being an act). That being the case, the first 3 chapters (or the first act) should be just as relevant to the final chapter/act as the previous.

If you actually want to have an intelligent conversation about this, I suggest you refrain from using lazy and inflammatory terms like 'bashing'... as it kind of suggests that you are incapable of having an intelligent conversation about this.

I refer you to my previous point. The ST comprises chapters 7, 8, 9 and should (by all measure of what constitutes 'logic') be connected to 1,2 and 3... just as much as 4, 5 and 6. Who writes a book thinking the last chapters should only reference and reflect what immediately came prior? That's not how serial fiction, of this nature, tends to work. This isn't Die Another Day or The Amazing Spiderman 2, where it's just the latest film in a franchise (or at least it shouldn't be). It's kind of what sets Star Wars apart.

That it doesn't make sense to you does not mean it is without sense. You understand that right?

 

Luke literally makes a speech about the PT jedi order failing as one of the reasons why he went into hiding.

 

I just mean that I don't think we're going to see Rey, Finn, and Poe anytime soon if ever on the big screen. No Rey leading a new band of Jedi. No Finn developing his connection to the Force, No Poe doing...I don't know...Poe stuff? Maybe we'll have a new character make a vague reference to something that happened in the ST, maybe a character will say the name Skywalker or Palpatine or Vader but aside from that, if we ever get post-ST movies the connections between the ST and the post-ST movies will be light.

 

But... the direction of SW as an IP apparently needs to take into account the idea of having a coherent and planned story from start to finish unlike the ST, or so says JJ....

Lucas ST Cut

 

Don't

 

I disagree - this is not like the Snyder Cut whereby footage has been filmed earlier and stitched together with some newly-shot scenes for a more "accepted" version of the Justice League movie... In contrast, there is not a single piece of footage shot by George for the sequel trilogy and what ideas he had are just that - IDEAS IN HIS HEAD ONLY...

So it's good that the franchise is moving in a new direction with the new productions like The Bad Batch, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka, Andor, Lando, Rogue Squadron, Acolyte, and A Droid Story exploring different timelines and segments of the huge Star Wars galaxy... Let's hope that the new movie trilogy will go towards a currently unexplored era in the big screen then - during the time of the Knights of the Old Republic!

 

I want to see Maul and Darth Talon againt Luke Skywalker and the New Republic that was the original ST story

 

Boba Fett takes Mauls place.

 

I don't know bounty hunters and jedi sometimes seems even matched.

 

This. Obi vs Jango was a tough fight (and remember, Obi was a master, which means he was one of a handful of elite powerful Jedi in the AOTC era where there were 20,000 Jedi or so in the galaxy); Mando was doing OK against Ahsoka also. The two factions were at war, and there seems to be implication that it wasn't a total route, that while probably less powerful, the Mando's held their own. Luke is portrayed as super powerful in the Mando episode, but taking other portrayals into account, I agree the Mando's could give them a run for their money. It's kind of a mixed bag, with Mando's looking really tough in some, and silly in others (e.g. the end of ROTJ) The same can be said of the Jedi, looking more and less powerful in different portrayals. Although not technically Mando's, Boba and his dad clearly had similar abilities.

For a number of reasons, I wouldn't want them to remake the ST with or without Lucas, but of course, would love to see Lucas do a production.

Also, they should make an episode where Cara Dune dies from some strange disease engineered by the empire after refusing to wear a mask or get a vaccine

 

You also have Cad Bane taking down many jedi.

 

counter point Jango kills the dinosaur jedi who tried to take down Dooku, i think fight to the death most times jedi wins, but sometimes bounty hunter wins, like Boba could probarly take down any no named jedi.

 

I mean he had a second to react and deflected the first two shoots.

 

Simply being a jedi doesn't make someone Bruce Lee.

 

if you are named jedi you do, but unnamed ones are not.
