Rumor: First Details About Gareth Edwards’ First Star Wars Spin-Off Movie.

BountyHunters

The only official information revealed about this project so far is that it’s directed by Gareth Edwards and written by Gary Whitta. The movie is expected to hit theaters on December 16, 2016. Now /Film has another great Star Wars scoop for us…

 

A long long time ago we shared some rumors, that the spin-off movies won’t be about characters that we know from the movies. Later there were talks that the spin-off movies will be used to explain some aspects of the stories from the new trilogy. And then of course is the most popular rumor about Boba Fett.

 

Now /Film reports a very interesting rumor about the plot of the movie. Here’s an excerpt from their article.

We’ve heard the 2016 Star Wars spin-off movie is about the group of people out to pull off the ultimate heist in a galaxy far, far away.

 

What the group is trying to steal is one of the most important linchpins in Star Wars history — they are out to steal the plans for the first Death Star.

 

That’s right, the story is set during the A New Hope era. However, it’s not the Rebel Alliance as we’d all assumed.

 

As rumor has it, the story follows a group of bounty hunters who were hired for the job — think the Seven Samurai or Suicide Squad meets Ocean’s Eleven in the world of Star Wars.

 

For the full story make sure to read /Film’s full report HERE.

            Just making a vague point on how there is a larger ratio of fans that enjoy the OT than the PT; likewise there is a smaller ratio of fans that dislike the OT than the PT. So, it would be natural for Disney to go for the source material where the money/ratings are more often than the underdog.

          Me too! I still enjoy them to this day. And the Clone Wars animated series make them even better IMO. People like to focus on the negatives but there were alot of positives as well.

        If people actually took time to watch the clone wars you’d realize just how well they tie into the PT and how they make you appreciate it much more. I’m starting to believe the reason the PT was hated so much is simply because people can’t wrap their brains around what Lucas was trying to show. The story to the fall of the republic and the Jedi is actually really friggin deep and intelligent. But that requires brain power and imagination to see. Instead of focusing on two main pathetic things to bitch about. JAR JAR BINKS, and a whiney ass Hayden in AOTC.

        If people didn’t focus on those things like the negative bitches they are, they might actually enjoy the PT. Which they seem to forget how much better Hayden’s acting was in episode 3. The entire downfall of the republic and anakin was due to how ridiculously arrogant and bloated the Jedi order was. To think they can control everything and that the balance of life means everything must be on the “light” side of things. Which anyone with a brain should realize life is not black and white. There has to be darkness and light. Lucas, his PT, and the clone wars series tied this all together and did a good job at it. Lucas might not be the best director by far, but his biggest problem was trying to tie it all together and attempted to please every target audience. If anything he was too ambitious with the PT and because of few things that didn’t sit well with people, his work is shit on because of it. People should be ashamed of themselves for being so hateful to him about it.

          Jar jar was a bad character but is so so low on the list of things wrong with the pt. Hadens acting was bad but Lawrence Olivia could not have done anything with that character and diologue. Much bigger problems include. Shitty characters that were not interesting, likable, funny fun or cool. Zero chemistry between anyone in any of the movies. Unbelievable bad writing and directing. They were not ambitious there are lazily conceived and awfully executed.

            Hayden acting in EP II and III was much, much better than Mark Hamill acting in all 3 movies of Original trilogy.

            Also Ewoks and Jabba de Hutt palace crowd were much more anoying than Jar Jar.

    The MacGuffin for this sounds lame… steal the plans for the Death Star?

    I thought many Bothans died to get that blueprint anyway. Kind of a stale plot point.

    Hope this rumor is off. The underworld part is fine, but we need new plot points.

      The bothans died to get the plans to the new Deathstar in ROTJ.

      This film would be about hijacking of the original DeathStar plans.

      That would be a good film. Remember when bounty hunters took over the Senate in a CW episode with Cad Bane. That is one of the best episodes of the show.

    R2D2 should be a part of this somehow. I always found it weird that R2 had the Death Star plans and everyone would be s.o.l. if something happened to him. It would be cool if it was 7 bounty hunters and R2.

      R2 won’t have anything to do with this. He only got the plans from the princess when her ship was intercepted and she couldn’t deliver the plans herself. R2 only got them to stop the Empire getting hold of them. He didn’t have anything to do with their theft or subsequent delivery to the Tantive IV.

    I assumed it would be the “Star Wars: Rebels” crew that would steal the plans. It seems like the most logical and satisfying way to connect them to EP4 in a way that makes them integral. I don’t really want some random group doing the job. And I doubt they would give us the end point of the Rebels crew that early.

      There’s nothing to be confused about. That’s the whole point of calling this stand-alone movie as opposed to being another episode. I think this is exactly the sort of thing that they should do with the stand-alone films. As for doing a movie where the end is already known that can be tricky but it can be done well. Valkari was a great movie even though you knew how it would end. To a certain extent that is true of most history based movies.

    still looking for and would kill (not literally) to see a spin-off of Darth Vader after Episode III and before Episode IV… the evolution of Vader, his relationship with Obi-Wan… basically a Vader/Obi Wan/ Yoda spin-off all together… that would be an epic tale

      just think… a pissed off vader establishing dominance, looking for Obi wan and any other jedi left and hunting them all down. It could easily link to Rebels and the formation and rise of the rebellion, stealing of the death star plans… hell throw in Han and Lando and the kessel run while your at it… possibilities are endless and so many parts of the backstory/history can be revealed.

        Ya! Lets just throw some shit together and call it a movie! It’ll have the Kessel Run, Yoda making his hutt, Vader hunting Obi Wan,
        Obi Wan changing diapers, Sheeve talking dirty to a tied up Darth Maul, a one armed Mace surviving the Coruscant underworld, Luke killing womp rats, Leia discovering something that happens every month and to throw the corn kernel on that shit pile lets end the movie randomly with the death star plan heist featuring R2D2, Han Solo, Lando, Boba Fett, Ezra, Dead Bothans, and Selena Gomez as Cat Woman. ya……

    It could be cool if they pulled in some EU characters like Kyle Katarn…but overall not too excited. We saw the whole “steal the death star I plans” played out in numerous videogames, novels, comics, etc. Sure it is no longer official cannon, but why not do something we have NEVER seen in any form? It could turn out to be awesome but it just feels like a safe choice plot-wise

      I never liked how there were 100s (ok not 100s but a ton) of Star Wars stories about how the Rebels obtained the Death Star plans. They all contradict each other at some point or another or just entirely disregard the other stories about the same thing. When people bitch about how/why disney canned the EU, inconsistencies like how the Death Star plans were obtained is a good place to begin explaining why the EU had to go to preserve the franchise in the long run. So reestablishing this story’s details will only add one more variant on how the Rebels obtained the plans. YAWN.

      Anyway continuing on from there IF disney did make “Old Republic” spin offs it won’t be your Tales of the Jedi your Knights of the Old Republic, your Old Republic or any of the novels/comics that tie in to those. All those stories already contradicted the movie’s novels making them a “lower tier of canon” in the old EU. If the did Old Republic movies they would be… well lame unfortunately. These stories are best severed they way they were originally the inconsistencies, their flaws, really only help them feel like in-universe myths and legends

    Awrite, let’s examine this:
    “It is a period of civil war.
    Rebel spaceships, striking
    from a hidden base, have won
    their first victory against
    the evil Galactic Empire.

    During the battle, Rebel
    spies managed to steal secret
    plans to the Empire’s
    ultimate weapon, the DEATH
    STAR, an armored space
    station with enough power
    to destroy an entire planet.”

    Two key phrases I wanna emphasize:
    1. “During the battle” So it takes place during a battle of rebels vs the Empire, and the rebels win.
    2. “Rebel spies” So the characters infiltrate the Empire and spy for the rebellion.

    Doesn’t sound like bounty hunters to me, but who knows. Also, maybe the story will depict a failed attempt at stealing the plans?

        Leia doesn’t say that. She says she just has “images, feelings.” given the context of the scene, and given what Yoga tells us about the Force in ESB, it is clear that those “images, feelings” come from the Force. So there was no canon violation. Placing a story about bounty hunters stealing the DS1 plans anywhere but a Rebel-Empire battle, and not have them infiltrate the Empire, *would* be a violation of established canon.

    I love the few strings of truth disclaimer from / film. What makes me think this is fake is the sequel characters showing up in the spinoffs. Some one of authority at Disney said there isn’t any crossing over between the two. Its predictable if its about stolen Death Star plans. I thought the whole Death Star arc would be handled in Rebels, but a live action film could take precedent over an animated series. We’ve seen it before in SW continuity.

        But they did dozens episodes of a cartoon series where you knew the outcome for decades let alone before it debuted 3 years ago.

    Am I the only one who thinks the character of Obi-Wan was butchered in the prequels? I’m so happy to hear new rumours different from having an obi-wan trilogy. Obi-wan in the OT as played by Alec Guinness is amazing. So much depth and wisdom. Obi-Wan in the prequels is like an angry, whiny, moody jerk. My brain just can’t connect the two. I think if the prequels had been written using anything resembling the craft of professional screenwriting ewan mcgregor could have totally pulled off a young obi-wan, but I think having him back at this point would just bring up all the old prequel anxieties. You know, I just also wanna bring up another point that the prequel apologists seem to be blind to: George Lucas is the first one to say he not only is aware he’s a bad screenplay writer but he even said in an interview that while writing phantom menance he came up with some exciting action scenes and then filled the blanks with what he called “hamburger helper”. You prequel nuts always say that the prequels could have never lived up to what us OT fans imagined but that’s really not fair. Just imagine how amazing they could have been if they started with Anakin as an adult. If only Lucas would have cared enough to do the basic things that made the originals so great (collaborating with others being the main one) and got a brilliant writer, we wouldn’t have ended up with the convoluted mess called the prequels which tore this fan base up. It’s crazy. We could have had an amazing prequel trilogy with characters with depth and realistic motivations. Can you prequel fans not see that the original trilogy scripts themselves are soo different than the prequel scripts in terms of the craft of screen writing. If George would have never collaborated on the original scripts with others, the OT probably would have been just as a mess as the prequels. Want proof? Read Lucas’s first drafts of Star Wars and imagine he had the same attitude he later had and just stubbornly and lazily made a new hope from his first draft. Do you prequel fanatics really think the prequel scripts are of equal quality to the OT scripts? If you do you should read Story by Ribert McKee and learn more about the craft of screenwriting. George selling to Disney is the equivalent of darth Vader throwing the emperor into the reactor shaft. I am sooooo happy JJ Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy are politely finally listening to the fans who made the OT the phenomenon it was, and want so bad to give us new films that that aren’t made from rushed first draft scripts.

        I’m not a hater actually. I don’t hate the prequels. It’s just obvious that the scripts for the OT were better developed and written. I’m the opposite of a hater. I love Star Wars. For years I thought I just didn’t get the prequels. But as I got older and read everything I could about the making of the films, it became very clear that it wasn’t me, it was the scripts. If I said m. Night shamalan’s last air bender is a poorly made film, I don’t think anyone would call me a hater for recognizing that. Like get over urself. The only reason I get called a hater is cause prequel fans are deluded and when they hear the truth it bothers them. The scripts for the prequels weren’t as well developed as the scripts for the OT.

          Scripts of original movies are not any better than these from prequel movies.

          Scripts of original movies were mocked countless times by various people in past decades.

          Even some actors from original trilogy mocked them. Harrison Ford said multiple times how he dislikes original trilogy scripts.

          People are not deluded if they like any of star wars movies. It is all personal taste. And everyone has different taste.

            You’re really wrong here. The OT scripts were collaborated on. Lawrence Kasdan was involved with empire and jedi. The prequel scripts were rushed first drafts by Lucas, who again, admits he hates writing and isn’t good at it. What your referencing in regards to the actors thinking the scripts are bad, really what they meant was the dialogue for a new hope was so filled with words that were new at the time that it was hard to figure it all out cause it was so unique. A new hope and empire are really well strutted screenplays with properly written dialogue. Please tell me you can see that if Lawrence Kansan and George Lucas both sat down to write the same scene , George’s dialogue would be horrible and kasdan’s would be witty and clever and character revealing. That’s why Lucas hired Kasdan! Wake up!

    Wasn’t the Death Star being built at the end of Episode 3? Isn’t that what Vader and the Emperor were looking at?

    Sounds stupid. I hate Boba Fett.

    If they need to make spin-off movies. I would rather have movies about Sith or jedi origins, or about Obi-wan.

    Who cares about bounty hunters and Boga Fett.

    Is this not the Rebels crew though? Bounty Hunter = Kanan, Millennium Falcon looking ship = Ghost?
    Could Ezra Bridger be the episode vii character introduced – Oscar Isaac

    Sounds a bit too simple, but that would be more Disney-like rather than their first spin-off movie being about bad guys from the OT, regardless of how cool that may be.

    You know, it’s so lame getting called a hater just because I recognize the prequel scripts are terribly less developed than the OT scripts. I love the OT so much and know about how they were developed and created and when you take away all adversity and all real collaboration that shaped them, you get the prequels. Like do you nuts just think OT fans are just hate filled people? And like I said before: GEORGE LUCAS HIMSELF ADMITS HE IS A POOR SCREEN WRITER. it would have been horrible if the hyucks didn’t do the uncredited last rewrite polish on a new hope because the dialogue would be as dead as the prequel dialogue. Some of you prequel fans need to learn a little bit about the actual craft of writing a screenplay.

      Some people love, adore original trilogy movies so much, for so many years, even decades. And because of that they do not see the flaws in them, refuse even.

      Problem is in them.

      Original movies have the same flaws as prequel movies.

      For new generations of fans, prequel movies were like original movies to old fans.
      And of course if they are attacked, if something that they like is attacked, they will defend what they love.

      Scripts of original movies are full of flaws likewise.

      It is not problem because some fans like original movies better than prequels ones.

      Problem is that some fans seek every possible opportunity to bash prequel movies, just because they like original ones better.

      So problem is in them. Not in people who like all movies, or prequel ones more than original ones.

        God this has got to be one of the worst arguments for the prequels that comes up lol an OT fan doesn’t like the prequels because they were rushed and poorly written and the prequel fan response is “hey! The original films suck too!” Like what a nut so argument. What film doesn’t have flaws? Two wrongs don’t make a right

    I don’t think there’s another series of films like the prequels which need so many excuses and explanations and conspiracies.

      Prequel movies do not need excuses. They are good as they are.
      Problem is in people who seek every possible opportunity to bash prequel movies, just because they like original ones better.

      And that sreams insecurity.

        Insecurity? Um sorry prequel fan, you seem like the only one who’s insecure. I think the reason the prequel films are bashed so much on here is because after such a long time being stuck with only prequel era stuff (which clearly tore up the fan base), we (OT fans) are now being given a new trilogy with the characters we loved and the style and feel we loved, and it’s very validating.
