apuszczalowski Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 This has been the rumored 3rd stand alone movie that Disney was going to make to go with the last trilogy. There were rumors also of an Obi Wan Original movie also but the Fans I think will go crazier over a stand alone Fett movie than an Obi Wan movie.

snafu Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I'm holding out for the stand-alone Jabba the Hut movie. The touching scene when he goes home, alone again, and checks the contents of his refrigerator to find it only contains bottled water. The ultimate admission that his menacing anger is the result of loneliness. Accepting the fact that he's a fat slug who can't find love. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Disney will be the death to the franchise. Just watch! It will get so bad it will have to be resurrected down the road, once everyone has turned off to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney will keep it alive until it stops making money for them and will probably continue it a hell of a lot longer than Lucas would have. But the greatness of the franchise died after the first trilogy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 For what it's worth, the Tatooine Cantina scene from Episode IV seems to be a fan favorite. And that could actually work, as the bar is a coming and going gathering place for all sorts of characters with their own story to tell. Would be hugely dependent on a great script, but what movie isn't? One drawback I can see, though, is that part of what made the cantina cool was how it was a crossroads for all types of characters and creatures from all over the galaxy. Very "urban" and diverse crowd in there. Most characters were not speaking English and that contributed to the texture of the scene. Most Star Wars fans and kids aren't gong to want to read subtitles all the time, though there are conventions around this. Maybe do what they did near beginning of Hunt for Red October...magically shifting from Russian to English as a convention so as to avoid the use of subtitles...and making Sean Connery (among others) try to speak Russian in a convincing manner, which he certainly couldn't do! You'd also have the creative freedom to follow whatever plots and sub-plots you want OUT of the cantina and into other parts of the planet/galaxy. The cantina could be a central focal point for the story, but as long as you are willing to leave it to explore other story lines, the script possibilities would be endless.

The Last Jedi sucked. I rewatched it recently and am still trying to make myself accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason I went was the radio station I worked for at the time had a promotion built around it. Kind of had to be there.

sodbuster Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Disney should never have attempted another trilogy and just pumped out these anthology movies. In my opinion, they knocked it out of the park with Rogue One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
