Opening scene could be a 'Fett's eye view' of him at the Sarlacc battle.....

Boba Fett survival/horror in the pit could make for an awesome movie.

The Road Warrior and Spaghetti Westerns have proven that audiences from the late 60's and early 70's love "Non-traditional Hero types" as protagonists.

I am not sure about the 20Teens though.

I'd watch that.

I think SW could learn a lot from the idea of limited budget "bottle episode". I read thing about how Star Trek II was made and how the limits on the budget really kept the director focused on storytelling.

I've been loving that they're dropping hints about the "Mind Harp" stories for Lando. I honestly have the old Ballantine Book collection of all 3.

How about a Vader movie? Between 3 and 4. That could be epic. Show him come to grips with his post cyborg self and become the total badass we saw at the end of Rogue.

Otherwise I only care about a Fett movie at this point.

At this point I don't want any more Disney Star Wars movies. Disney is garbage, they've ruined the happy ending of the OT, disgraced Han Solo and Luke and I don't want them to go anywhere near Obi Wan, Darth Vader, the Emperor or Darth Maul (who as far as I'm concerned died on Naboo)

At the very least not with Kathleen Kennedy at the helm, or round head Rian Johnson

You know darth maul survived naboo long before disney aquired sw right?

Also most of the stuff made under lucas was garbage.

I wasn't aware Rian Johnson even participated in the English Civil War. The man's certainly aged well; I'm glad he made it through the carnage to make movies for us!

According to the EU. I'm not keen on the idea of him surviving; he made a great villain because he was mysterious, looked awesome and dispensed with the boring trope of villains speaking to the protagonists they're trying to kill to gloat and tell them their plans. From what I recall he only spoke to Palpatine in the movie, and even then it wasn't much. Something is lost when every character's background is fleshed out. I wish Boba Fett hadn't appeared in episode 2, he's way cooler when everything we know about him comes from episodes 5 and 6.

Clone Wars isn't "EU".

As for Disney ruining Star Wars, there were three good films before the buyout, and four good films after it.

As above clone wars isnt eu. Its just strait up canon.

He's recently be talking about what his plans were for episodes 7-9.

Makes the Disney films look like cinematic greatness.

Basically, it would have focused on the 'Whills,' microscopic creatures that feed off and control the Force, and basically are responsible for everything. So the films would have somehow focused on the 'micro universe' and stripped free will and agency from pretty much every character. That was Lucas grand plan before Disney slapped him in the face with a wad of cash. It even makes the Oozing Vongs of the EU look like a not terrible idea.

The tagline for most of the Internet articles about it is something along the lines of 'Lucas' ideas for Star Wars would have *really* upset fans.' Which is true, as it basically doubles down on the midichlorian idea.

Although Lucas' prequels were quite awful (and by sounds of it his sequels would have been too) there is one and only thing where they were one up from Disney sequels: they broke new ground to Star Wars setting and introduced new places and concepts and visuals. Disney sequels have very little original content, nearly everything is recycled from first trilogy to the point of them being almost a remake of the series. Sure thing George recycled too, and a lot ("It's like poetry, it rhymes...") but at least he did it in new places. Ep. 7 and 8 have the visuals and settings borrowed from old movies. It's why many people feel like they are made to 'cash in' because even though objectively they are much better movies than the prequels, they have very strong 'committee work' feel around them, particularly TFA.

I'm not big on the idea of Boba Fett movie, we already saw his origin story and it would IMO run into same problem Stallone's Judge Dredd did: when a character who in original source material is defined by his helmet takes it off, character concept becomes sorta deflated.

You're both wrong, because as it's being used here the meaning of the word 'good' is INCREDIBLY subjective.

yes they are, it was only 1 good one, 1 passible one, 1 meh and 1 dumpster fire from disney.

As the disney non trilogy movies seem to be the only ones worth catching, I am curious on how they will handle boba and how his relation to maul & solo will be protrayed.

And here's how they can get boba to be profitable.

Rich Evans is the smartest guy on RLM.

You know, an Asoka film might not be bad. Or something set in the Old Republic.

Could be fun - would be nice to have a decent female character in the lead - although Rey was one of the very few good things in the gak fest that was LTJ she was not brilliant and the rest of the female characters were laughably bad.

Yes, it would be very nice if we could get a REAL strong female character back into Star Wars, instead of needing to tear male characters down to make weak female characters APPEAR strong.

I was making that point earlier today.

I would do it as a 2 part mini series. in the first movie it's during the clone wars done starship trooper style. Sure there's a war in the background but it's about Anakin & ahsoka. It ends with her leaving the order and Anakin feeling like it's his fault, adding to his fall. saying something like "I forgive you Anakin, it wasn't your fault" But it really needs shows the love and respect between the two.

the second movie would be ahsoka facing vader during the rebel tv series era, where she learns who he is, confronts him trying to bring him back to the light, but after a epic fight vader kills her, she again says really heartfelt "I forgive you Anakin, it wasn't your fault" lighting the conflict in vader that luke felt.

But Asoka already survived a confrontation with Vader in Rebels.....

I don't see why having a female beating male character is such a big deal, also what is a "REAL" strong female character?

well she wouldn't survive her second confrontation she has to die at some point, otherwise yoda would have sought her out instead of luke.

We know she lasts until after the Rebellion at least, thanks to the end of Rebels!

Did Yoda seek out Luke? Obi-wan sent Luke to Yoda.

"Long have I watched this one... all his life has he looked away...."

I should really catch up on that show, but I still think my idea for those movies could play well.

and when yoda dies, he tells luke, he's the last of the jedi. so it's really a matter of her fading into obscurity and dying for nothing, or sending her out in a grand fashion.
