Rumor: 10 More Star Wars Films in the Works at Lucasfilm?
Is Lucasfilm expanding their slate of films in pre-production following their historic box office success of The Force Awakens? Well, the obvious answer to that would be a likely resounding “yes”, but we have yet to see any proof to back this up.
Well, this morning there is one report out there that Lucasfilm and Disney are now working with a slate of 10 future films in mind. Now, this rumor comes from the Daily Mail, so it is advisable to take it with a heaping helping of salt. But at the same time, this would just make logical sense. With a $2B+ worldwide start under their belts, Disney can likely assume that barring extenuating circumstances, that they have built up enough good will to allow this franchise to run for quite a while before it can be overexposed to the point of straining profitability. So, the initial plan of 6 releases being extended to 10 (or possibly 13, the article is unclear as to whether Episodes VII, VIII, and Rogue One are included in this tally) would make sense.
As to the content of these films if they truly exist, that is anyone’s guess. There have long been rumors of a second sequel trilogy, an Obi-Wan trilogy, and the mostly fan fueled rumors of an Old republic trilogy. So, will these films be in the main Saga continuity? A spin-off trilogy like Obi-Wan? Additional stand-alone “Star Wars Stories”?
It’s possible that even Lucasfilm is unsure at this point. It is possible that they want to see how Rogue One, and more importantly the Han Solo film perform before committing to more of the anthology films. If either or both of those fail to meet expectations, it is likely a second sequel trilogy will be in our future. If people flock to the story of young Han Solo, then something like an Obi-Wan trilogy set between Episodes III and IV may be seen as a safer bet, while they push the second sequel trilogy down the road a bit and hold that in their back pocket as a savior for when they start seeing diminish returns on stand-alone films.
Or maybe this is just a rumor from a tabloid and a complete fabrication. Only time will tell. But it is always fun to speculate. What are you hoping for after the Sequel Trilogy wraps up? Let us know in the comments.
I mean this is nothing too surprising. Lucasfilm confirmed a bit ago that they have no plans of stopping star wars as longs as people want to see it and judging by the box office of just one movie i’d say there is easily 30 years of star wars films in our future (minimum). I think, or more accurately hope, that they will finish the new saga trilogy with episode 9, then switch gears to another trilogy like obi-wan or Old Republic, then after that start the next trilogy of episodes X, XI, XII. If there were no gaps between trilogies then it would feel less special IMO. I like the trilogy story arc format. I think snoke will be defeated and the first order will surrender at the end of XI and we will have a new story for X with cameos or mentor roles for the current cast. Perhaps some variation of the galactic invasion story or something new altogether.
Just like the Expanded Universe, right?
I agree with you on the gaps between trilogies. Though each movie is its own story, each trilogy tells a larger story and should have some gap. We’ll have to see. I’m just happy at this point to see a time where there are more good Star Wars movies than bad ones, though Episode III was pretty good for the most part.
It was always part of the plan….insert mad scientist laughter. No, but really, check this out from 1978: http://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,915986-1,00.html
nice find! Its always fun to read how plans are lost and found again as time passes.
I’m all about an Old Republic trilogy. I’ve enjoyed a lot of the material in the new canon, but I admit I am getting tired of the OT era and characters. Rogue One may be the exception as far as my excitement goes, but overall I’m ready to move on. Not really looking forward to the Han Solo film (or even the upcoming comic series). He was a great character, and may he rest in peace, but I don’t need his whole life fleshed out on screen. Han Solo may even be a good film, but lets do something totally unrelated to the OT next. Shoot, I’d even be up for a prequel era film, but especially for something far removed like TOR era, which could be epic in scope as well.
Though I’m not getting “tired” of the OT like you say, I think there would be some freshness in exploring alternate timelines and characters. The Old Republic storylines and characters are quite compelling. It will be interesting to see the reactions to a non Skywalker centered movie as the first spin off movie as well with Rogue One. I think the success of Rogue One has a lot riding on it, especially for future spin off movies.
Yeah, I think the Han Solo film is a mistake… especially re-casting Harrison Ford. It would have to be something truly amazing for me to overcome this feeling because even if it is “good” I will still feel like what’s the point.
It’s too bad the Boba Fett film or whatever Trank was working on has fell off the map.
I want this so bad. I want a trilogy where the Sith were an army, pre-Rule of Two, with the third movie ending with Darth Bane and his apprentice. Darth Bane is, after all, the only old Sith Lord who is still canon.
Here’s my prediction for the next 10 films (If possible)
Star Wars: The Old Republic I: The Fallen Jedi
Star Wars: The Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
Star Wars: The Old Republic III: Fall of the Republic
Force Hunt: A Star Wars Story (Likely Zack Snyder’s idea of his own Star Wars film)
Delta Command: A Star Wars Story (Republic Commando remake)
An adaption of Twilight Company
Star Wars Episode X: An Order’s Dawn
Star Wars Episode XI: Wrath of the Hegemony
Star Wars Episode XII: Rise of the Knights
Obi Wan’s Journey
What you do think guys?
Cool names, I always love any excuse to use words like Hegemony. Though I hope by the time we get to episode X, we are not still fighting the first order
Cool concepts and titles. I don’t see Twilight Company being adapted to a film, though. Rogue One will probably be the closest we get to that.
Old Republic MAY actually happen now. That’d be keeno.
And I agree we’ll have another saga trilogy nestled in there too.
Republic Commando’s would be amazing. But, I have a feeling they’re still going to keep away from the Prequel era stuff.
An Orders Dawn, Wrath of the Hegemony, Rise of the Knights – you are joking, right?
You can more or less expect the main trilogies following the same formula of the original films, so it’s not that bad.
I’m sorry – I just couldn’t resist on some of these. 🙂
1. Star Wars: Padawan Taken
(Set a decade before TPM, Qui-Gon Jinn’s young apprentice has been kidnapped by Zygerrian traffickers. He uses his special set of skills to track down Obi-Wan’s captors and make them pay dearly for their grave misstep.)
2. Star Wars: Ben Kenobi and the Raiders of the Lost Holocron
(Set in between ROTS and ANH, Ben sets off on an adventure to stop the evil Empire from recovering the lost holocron of Darth Revan. The Emperor believes that the possession of the ancient artifact would make his armies invincible in battle, spelling certain doom for the galaxy.)
3. Star Wars: Ben Kenobi and the Sith Temple of Doom
(Set in between ROTS and ANH – After arriving on Onderon, Ben is asked by a desperate village of beast riders to find a mystical stone. He agrees, and stumbles upon a secret Sith cult plotting a terrible plan in the catacombs of the palace of Iziz. Ben soon discovers that the palace was built atop the ancient ruins of a Sith temple which lay deep in the catacombs.)
4. Star Wars: Ben Kenobi and the Fool’s Crusade
(Set in between ROTS and ANH – Ben Kenobi acquires Qui-Gon’s old diary that holds clues and a map with no names to unlock the secret of immortality. Following the clues leads Ben to his homeworld of Stewjon where he discovers that the next clue rests with a famed archaeologist, who happens to be Ben’s brother, who has unfortunately fallen into Imperial hands. Ben sets off to rescue his brother from the clutches of the Empire. However, upon retrieving Dr. Kenobi, the rescue mission turns into a race to find the secret of immortality before the Emperor – who plans to use it for complete galactic domination.)
5. Star Wars Episode X – A Fallen Hero
(Set 20 years after Episode IX – Following a horrific massacre at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant by a group claiming to be the long dead order of the Knights of Ren, Grand Master Rey Dameron embarks on a mission with her son and padawan, Lucas Dameron, to uncover the identity and whereabouts of the attackers. A surprising revelation sets events in motion that may finally be the undoing of the Jedi.
6. Star Wars Episode XI – Journal of the Whills
(Following the death of his mother and the dispersion of the Jedi, Lucas Dameron seeks answers in the ancient Jedi temple on Ahch-To, where he is visited by the ghost of his grandfather, Luke Skywalker. His grandfather tells him that the last hope for the Jedi may lie in the secrets of a hidden text in an ancient temple on Devaron. The discovery of the fabled text, the Journal of the Whills, long believed to be a myth among the Jedi, may give Lucas the edge he needs to restore balance to a galaxy in chaos.)
7. Star Wars Episode XII – Legacy of the Jedi
(After achieving full mastery of the Force through the discovery of arcane teachings in an ancient temple, Lucas Dameron sets out to bring balance once and for all as he unleashes the powers of Ashla and Bogan, the lightside and the dark, on the enemies of the Jedi.)
8. Star Wars: Old Republic – The Fall of Moraband
(The Ancient Sith Empire has risen from obscurity and attempts to reclaim its old homeworld from the Republic. The war that sparked the age old rivalry between the Jedi and Sith begins here.)
9. Star Wars: Old Republic – Rise of the Mandalorians
(The Sith join forces with Mandalore to strike at the heart of the Republic. Will the Jedi be able to defend against such a threat?)
10. Star Wars: Old Republic – The Scourge of Malachor
(The Jedi Revan leads his forces into a final battle against the forces of the Sith Empire and Mandalore that will decide the fate of the galaxy.)
I like the idea that Obi Wan spent the whole time living as a hermit on Tatooine between ROTS and ANH! Such a shame if they give him a bunch of action packed adventures between the movies, it diminishes his stoicism and pathos.
No, nothing too action packed, but Obi-Wan did come across like he was very familiar with Mos Eisley Spaceport. Perhaps he used their services a few times over the years?
Well, if Marvel can, than sure as hell Star Wars can too!
Why would anyone have any doubt that there would be a episodes 10,11, and 12?
No, I think that is most probable. They have made half of their money back from the purchase of Episode VII alone it would seem. I’m unsure, but I’ve seen some sources say that Episode VII cost roughly 200M to make, and made over 2 billion. Nothing to do at this point but make more movies and print more money.
I’d like to see an Obi-Wan / Owen Lars story. The entire thing could even happen on Tatooine – but something that leaves Owen leary of Obi-Wan in A New Hope.
Do we already need that. It’s pretty clear from the prequels why Owen is leary of Obi-wan.
Owen’s opinion of Obi-Wan is explored in the comics as well.
I feel like the movies show why Owen would be leary of Anakin or the Jedi in general, but not Obi-Wan personally. It seems like Owen in A New Hope knows Obi-Wan better than what we see in the prequels. It’s a relationship that I’d like to see expanded.
Think this is a safe bet. No reason to not believe that SW will continue way past Episode IX. Believe the sequels will move away from the Skywalker bloodline.
Kathy kennedy already said the main episodes will deal with the skywalker bloodline…rightly so.
She also said that TFA is about orphans. Luke, Leia, and Ben are all Skywalkers. There’s your sequel skywalker bloodline.
The problem with Kennedy’s comments is that it limits the outcome of the ST. We already know that Kylo Ren is a Solo. Will Rey be a Skywalker or Solo? If not, and if there aren’t any more siblings, then we can basically expect Ren and Rey to get together to have at least one kid, so that the Skywalker family can continue.
Only so many options.
A movie about Clone Troopers!
How about the Delta clones?
A “Clone Commando” movie, based on the Delta squad would be awesome. What would really be great would be if the Clone Commando novels would be made canon, with the “new” knowledge we have of the order 66 biochips integrated into the storyline – make the movie based on the novels or similar combat storyline – would give HALO a run for its money!
Any clones
I’m pretty sure a second sequel trilogy is being discussed – need to get a story well in advance. I don’t see much story with an Obi-wan movie set between Episodes 3 and 4 that would be interesting… maybe something where he leaves Tatooine and has to stay undercover to not expose himself as a Jedi. But a trilogy of movies?? That’s pushing it.
Would love Old Republic stories, though. That whole era is rip from some cool, fresh stuff.
I’d be all for a western-style Obi-Wan film set on Tatooine.
We need Old Republic movies!
We need a Jar Jar Binks trilogy set between III and IV. Inquiring minds want to know the fate Lucas’ most beloved creation! Perhaps he was murdered in the Geonosian coliseum for trying to redeem himself by overthrowing the Emperor!? Just like Russell Crowe in Gladiator. “ARE YOUSSA NOT ENTERTAINED!!!” Awesome!
Your comment has been reported for disrespecting the creator of Star Wars in a backhanded and sly way,
Why? Jar-jar was the key to all of this…
Your comment has been reported as well (for reasons similar that I gave the OP. Next time, don’t be a troll).
It’s a joke. Here’s a prescription for chill pills. Take 2 as needed.
Wtf are you talking about? I just quoted from George Lucas himself! Jar-jar was the key to all of this, can’t you understand?! He is a key character to star wars and we dont know his fate! He just as much deserves a trilogy as Obi-wan, okidoo?
Obvious troll is obvious!
I hope you’re not serious.
On the other hand, maybe Disney will option my script for “Dark Apprentice,” the story of how Darth Vader seduces a force sensitive Jar Jar to the dark side and makes him his secret apprentice and comic side kick, ala Barney Fife. Hilarity and hijinx ensue until Vader discovers the existence of Luke, at which point he betrays and murders Jar Jar in a scene to rival the duel at the end of ROTS.
I’m up for going to XII in regard to episodes and various filler movies (to a degree), but would love then to see the origins of the fight between Jedi and Sith in a trilogy that could be expanded.
I would love to see an Obi-Wan anthology film, but a trilogy seems a bit much. He’s just supposed to be in the desert, watching over Luke. How many movies can you make out of that?
Maybe (in order to protect Luke) he has to go on some mission to defeat Maul and the Mandos?
Please no magically revived Maul
Well he was in TCW. If he manages to live through Rebels, an Obi-Wan Anthology movie is the best way to kill him off for good.
Did Obi-Wan really watch over Luke? He gave the boy to Owen and Beru and went off on his own into the desert. His encounter with adult Luke felt coincidental, not planned. Especially with the PT, I don’t see why Obi-Wan didn’t raise Luke himself and train him as a Jedi when he still was a child.
Anyway, I can see Obi-Wan having a handful of missions over 20 years as he continues to grow in the ways of the Force.
He might have had other things to do as well, but I imagine he never left Tatooine. Giving him a handful of missions is fine, but giving him three films worth of stuff to do pushes the credibility for me. The way he was spoken about in ANH always gave me the impression he was just by himself in the desert for all those years. I do hope we get to see Ewan McGregor again as Obi-Wan, be it in one or three films. He brought that character to life.
obi-wan movie please and thank you
I’d like some time between 9 & 10 to set the trilogy’s apart
Be nice if after 9 they made an old republic trilogy I’d like to see revan and malgus
Adapted for the movies and though only seen the trailer the old republic story featuring the twins where one is in black n the Outher in white looks interesting. I want to see light Sabres with battery packs 😀
Another 30 years of Star Wars should get me to my expiration date. Im all for it.
I was looking to expire at the end of Episode IX.
I’m pretty sure the amount of future Star Wars movies is sitting comfortably at infinite.
I was wondering also if they would ever re-make the original trilogy movies since they will look incredibly out-dated 10 years from now especially considering that by 2020 a large majority of movies under the “Star Wars” name will have been made in the modern era. I would’ve brought it up myself but I knew the entertainment of that notion would bring about large amounts of scorn lol.
I don’t think they will, no.
I think it’s going to depend on how Rogue One does. There’s going to be substantial pressure on that movie to perform since making infinite Star Wars films will require Disney to stray away from the core story of Star Wars on the big screen.
We’ll see how non-freak-nerd fans deal with a film that doesn’t have anything to do with the main cast.
Well I for one am onboard. They just have to be good characters… I never needed the original cast to return. While I loved the part they played in TFA… I also could have done without them.
And deals with events where we already know the outcome. Yes, they steal the plans, no, none of them matter in the larger story. I get Disney wanting to mine the OT, but I’m just not sure general audiences at large are going to care about this movie.
It has Star Wars in the name. Of course they’re going to care about it. The prequels showed us that people don’t care about the content of a movie as long as it’s called Star Wars. Anything is good enough to see in theaters.
Prequels, whatever you think about how they turned out, are STILL the core storyline though, and people know Obi Wan, Vader, and Yoda, so it’s an easier sell. Explaining to casuals and non fans (a big,BIG part of TFA’s BO) why they should care enough about a movie that isn’t part of the Episodes, and has a central story where we already know the resolution is going to be a real test of this whole “Stories” conceit.
True, true.
I care… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5Q7CcINC8M
We shall see.
I want to see a trilogy of trilogies at in the old Republic. It would freak with the discovery of the Force, the founding of the Republic, The founding of the Jedi Order, the Jedi-Sith schism and wars, Darth Bane and the rule of two… Way too much for just three movies.
I also would like a knight-errant type TV series set some 700 years prior to the existing films, featuring (not necessarily starring) a young Yoda. Maybe at some point in this series Yoda can take the initiative of founding a Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
Anyway, my $0.02.
Yes a TV series should not be forgotten. This is suitable for so many things. Old Republic. Just something decent. Not just some adventure thing with no background. Like the new Lego series for example.
I personally hope there will be a couple of spin-offs that are a ‘different’ genre. Think; thriller, horror (well maybe not), comedy, etc. I’d love to see a Guy Ritchie or Tarantino Star Wars spin-off.
I want dark spin-off about the Jedi Purge.
I think your article is spot on. Disney aren’t oracles. They’ll need to see what works and what doesn’t. But I think almost everything with Star Wars works. They just need to be original.
Would love to see the Bane trilogy with an “R” rating although I know that isn’t going to happen. But will be glad when they move out of the OT era.
I’d love to see something with the Emperor, the actor that plays him is getting older too…
I smell a prequel with a younger actor….
David Tennant?
Well he is Scotish, has stage experience, and was in TCW.
Yeah he’s certainly got the look and acting ability – great choice
Sam Witwer would be an excellent choice.
Is the Daily Mail still trying to convince people Mussolini isn’t such a bad guy?
He was compared to Mao and Stalin. I think he might be better than anyone on the ballot today since at least he was honest about what he was going to do in office.
I’m not sure I’d call that a virtue, but it is one of the reasons “None of the Above” needs to be a ballot option.
“But…..but….but you are wasting you’re vote”
Seems like the ones who waste their vote are those who keep settling for the lesser of two evils which is why we keep getting the resukts we do.
Yeah, pretty much.
Demockracy.
Does this even have to do with the rumors above?
As a matter of fact, yes.
“If people flock to the story of young Han Solo” : this might happen IF the story of Han Solo is a good movie. When they stop making good movies, the people will stop watching. Simple as that
Yes, I was quite disappointed with Kasdan’s (and by extension, Abrams’ and Arndt’s) work on TFA…. having raised my expectations post TESB and ROTJ, I was hoping for great things…… but the resulting TFA makes me worried about the HAN SOLO story.
Sorry but the story of any jedi like Yoda, Qui Gon Jin, Obi Wan, would be more interesting than Han Solo, Han Solo is enough in 4 movies, let him go.
It is my hope that Felicity Jones is playing an undercover Princess Leia in Rogue One… that we don’t even find out she is Leia until the end of the movie. Then in a couple of years we’ll have our new Han Solo. At that point, all we’d need is someone to play Luke and then Disney can start making movies that start off mid-OT (Shadows of the Empire?) and as the cast gets older they start filling in the gap between ROTJ and TFA. A Jedi Academy triology could detail Ben Solo’s fall from grace and the rise of Snoke. If done well, they can spend the next 20-30 years making movies with a new “Big Three.” I’d also love to see the cast from TFA add plenty of post-sequel triology content over all that time as well.
Not possible since it takes place right before ANH and she looks or sounds nothing like Fisher.
She’s a thin white girl with brown hair. If she can act, that’s all that’s necessary.
Different colored eyes and build too.
Meh. Close enough. No one really cares.
Shadows of the Empire should be animated, with the original cast doing the voice work. Han’s not in it, so you don’t need Harrison, who obviously wants to be done with the series.
I would love to see films 10-12 happen. That was the whole idea back then. My journey with The Star Wars Saga isn’t yet over for me. And to The films 10-12 into a new Trilogy I want to collect instead of buying one at a time.
me too, i just hope they give it a couple years break in between to allow the new cast to age a bit.
Kenobi trilogy, one movie I think would cover that! The old republic trilogy a definite! Jedi vs sith in all its glory! Why does no one say a Vader movie!!? Let’s see a proper anakin in the clone wars then jump to Vader. Vader destroying the Jedi and his sideline agenda! How amazing, then we could have some good memories of how anakin should have been!! Star Wars is Vader! Maybe 9-12 if there’s a story…
I’m still wondering how Disney thinks it is going to sell a movie about a guy they just killed in their first movie for the franchise…? Who, other than hardcore fans, are going to want to see an “early years” movie about Han Solo? Didn’t Disney tell us they want to make movies that they can market to a “wider audience”? So why then make a movie about a dead guy that only hardcore fans would appreciate? Don’t get me wrong, I am a hardcore fan who would appreciate it if done well, but Disney just seems to be confused in its market outreach…?
I’d agree with you under almost all circumstances, but we are talking about Han Solo here. Not exactly obscure.
I’m new to Star Wars. Who is this Han Solo you speak of?
He’s the guy who does the thing.
In the place with the stuff, right?
Yeah…. The stuff.
I never said he was obscure – I said he was DEAD! How do you interest new moviegoers or non-fan audiences in the back story of a dead guy, no matter how famous we all think he is?
Back in 1999 there was a lot of interest in an entire TRILOGY about a guy who died at the end of RotJ.
Solo’s back story is hardly as important to the progression of Star Wars as Vader/Anakin’s was in 1999.
That wasn’t your initial argument. You said audiences wouldn’t care because he’s dead. In any case, the argument is still pretty weak: Solo is just as recognizable/popular with the average moviegoer as Vader is. Not like there’s a shortage of Han merchandise out there…
Sorry, I didn’t realize i had to justify my opinion to you – its an opinion, weak or otherwise, just like the 154 others presently on this page.
Have you seen this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0169547/
Your point?
Spoiler alert 1999: The first thing you learn about the protagonist in this movie is that he will die by the end of it. It is still super engaging.
“pre production” is pretty vague and can mean a lot of things. most likely they are just mapping things out like marvel does for each of its phases. i don’t see them doing more then one film a year for the near future(though i’d be super excited if they chose to).
I do remember Lucas tossing the idea around, back in 2005, for a possible one-off
movie about a newly-knighted young Yoda, back in the heyday of the Republic. Wonder if he had a treatment written – I’d be up for that I think.
I remember that too and he said that was his idea of Episode 0. Even in the EU, His early life has never been touched upon.
I never heard that – but I think it would be awesome!
George has always kept Yoda’s origins very close to his chest. Now that Disney owns LFL i doubt that we would see Georges vision of a Yoda origin story.
A good excuse for posting this picture…
All I ask is that they are are all different fom each other and preferablly from a genre standpoint too. I think their MCU bubble is about to crash soon so I hope these are spaced out once a year as well. Deadpool’s shown there is an audience for anti-heroes so I hope we get some villain centric films too.
Maybe move some of the ideas for Underworld into the realm of features?
I like it! There should be at least one Sith Lord film too in there somewhere. Something like the Plagueis/Bane books where the heroes lose in the end.
“I think their MCU bubble is about to crash soon”
Mmmmmmm..no. Avengers 2 made 1.4 billion dollars. That ship’s not gonna sink for a very long time.
Yeah, if Marvel has generated enough goodwill to get people to spend that much money on such a completely worthless piece of garbage, they’re by no means in danger of going under. Besides, that universe is expansive enough to give them years of raw material. Much is the same is true of Star Wars.
Ooh, someone sounds salty.
Natural reaction to seeing Whedon take one of the most dangerous villains in the Marvel stable and turn him into an ineffectual quipster who would be more at home in a Roger Moore-era Bond flick. I jumped for joy when it was revealed he’d bowed out and the Russo Bros. would be taking over.
i enjoyed AoU for the most part, but yeah, ultron was a let down, especially after what they sold us on in the trailers.
Yep. The Ultron depicted in something like Annihilation or Ultron Unlimited was what we were promised, but what we got was about as threatening as expired milk.
Ultron was funny, but oh well. It’s really not worth getting mad about tbh.
It did but the reviews were not kind even among fanboys. Plus it’s all downhill after Infinity War, You can’t really top that in terms of storylines and they are down to their C-Listers now far as material. I also think the DCEU will burn people out on comic book films too much like the western by the 70’s.
That’s exactly how it’s going to go. Already I can tell interest in these films is waning. Poeople aren’t freaking out over the trailers the way they used to. DC is receiving nothing but yawns and I predict Warner will lose a ton of money before realizing they should have just stuck with Nolan’s Batman. Marvel may keep it’s head above the water. Star Wars will do incredibly well. Unless 8 and 9 are turkeys like 7 again.
Turkeys that make 2 billion dollars and get 93% on RT? You people are hilarious.
If they just spaced them out like the Bond films every two years or so during the old days then they could stave the burnout a little bit longer but carpet bombing the theater with them is why the YA genre has burnt itself out in a littlessx than half a decade.
Wish the MCU bubble would burst. Find all these comic book movies so repetitive. Even Deadpool was so underwhelming.
Then don’t watch them. Don’t ruin the fun for everyone else who enjoys the movies. I could very well say
“Wish the Star Wars bubble would burst. Find all these sci-fi movies to be so repetitive. Even The Force Awakens was so underwhelming.”
You wouldn’t like it, would you?
If he thought it had been dried up and needed to die so that it could eventually be rejuvenated, he might say that. If he has no interest in the franchise and is just tired of seeing/hearing about it, then I agree that it would be wrong to simply hate seeing other people happy.
Deadpool was awesome, and I’ve really not liked the majority of the Marvel movies.
It tried too hard to be different but ending up being just as derivative as any other comic book movie.
What does that even mean?
I think he means that it wasn’t as original as it claimed to be.
All bubbles burst eventually. It kind of needs to happen so that when they reboot it they know what not to do. In a way the ST owes gratitude to the PT in that regard in that the PT owes the EU for keeping SW alive.
Would love to see a movie based on the time before sith had the rule of two. Basically a jedi vs sith movie
So a full on Jedi vs Sith war? Platoon in a GFFA.
If Disney wants these so called stand alone films to be successful, they Need to start releasing footage of Rogue One. Friends at work and at home who are Star Wars fans, but not geeks like myself ,lol, don’t even know there is another Star Wars movie coming out this December that’s not part of the original Skywalker saga. The Force Awaken released a teaser almost 13 months before release of that film. It would behoove Disney to get the ball rolling. So far marketing of this film has been poor. It’s almost 9 months till the release. Come on
Disney/Lucasfilm.
Surprised they didn;t take advantage of the billion dollar audience of TFA to announce that these stand-alone films were coming,
Absolutely!
A Old Republic trilogy would make the most sense. I’d understand why they would make a Obi Won Anthology film, but a trilogy? 😐
I want a stand-alone film about Sabine up until she joined the Ghost crew and it could be a little bit “darker” with the rating going up to about PG-15
If it’s in the vein of the DC aminated straight to DVD films, absolutely. But I doubt anything rebels related would make it to the big screen on its own.
I would love to see an Obi Wan and Old Republic film. The Obi Wan could be great with a western or lone wolf and cub vibe.
More Vader, dammit. I wants me some more Vader.
I purpose an ererotic back story about Rey…
I propose you learn to spell 🙂
It’s my phone that had the spelling issue.
Thx and go fuck ya’self 😉
I think your phone spelled duck wrong 🙂
Yup, my Ducking phone is a piece of sheet…
hehe
Just please give me a concrete ending to the saga films(ones with the episode moniker), at 9 or 12, I don’t care which as long as the story continues to be good. Unlike the comic book films, please give me some sort of story with the skywalker/solo clan that has a definitive beginning middle and end.
I wouldn’t mind seeing a few other stories. Obviously one or more Obi Wan movies and the continuation of the sequel trilogies, but let’s see some older period stuff. Say a Darth Bane trilogy (since he is cannon via The Clone Wars). And possibly pull in something even older then that from the Ulic Qel Droma era. And lastly even something everyone wants, a Darth Plagaus movie
I think that the Old Republic would be a good time-period to tap, just simply on the virtue that it is a time where tons of Jedi fought tons of Sith. None of that “the Sith are extinct and there are only 2 of them” bullshit. It would be nice to see a squad of, say, 7 Jedis doing cat-and-mouse hunting of 6 Sith in some jungle; and that’s something that literally can not be found in any other SW film without breaking canon, so Old Republic has a huge leg-up in my opinion.
I would like a story about civilians in an era where empire was reigning the galaxy. I also would like to avoid old republic… Everytime I see tons of jedis the magic is gone… Also politics is too present in any republic era which is something that bores me to hell.
Hire the Germans that took two years making that amazing new Darth Maul- Apprentice Fan Film. and make a Darth Maul standalone movie. The actor playing Maul in this fan film looks just like Ray Park, and has some serious skills.
we need another Ewok movie to round off a trilogy of Ewok based movies. It’s been a long time in waiting, and I’m sure it’ll be a bigger hit than Episode 7.
Fuck yeah!
I kind of hope it’s not true actually, if we see a star wars movie every year for the next decade plus it’s almost certain to water-down the franchise. Maybe anthology movies would be okay, but I’d hate to see an endless cycle of trilogy’s following the skywalker family and the continuing emergence/defeat of the dark-side.
I want a Lost Stars adaptation.
I’d prefer to have 1 great film rather than 10 mediocre films.
You’ll get 10 miserable films. You already got one last holidays.
Personally, I’d really like to see and entire movie on the History of the Millennium Falcon.
From the production on Corellia to the Game with Solo. There’s some good history there. As well as the Falcon is one of the most iconic ships in history and takes on a character of its own.
Plus, as C-3PO states, the Ship has its own “peculiar dialect.” It could even tell its own story 🙂
