What would you like to see a standalone SW movie about?

[kirk55555]

I want to see a movie with adult Boba Fett being a badass. Set it right after RotJ, and showing his escape from the sarlaac. Then, have him hunt some big target, maybe some remaining imperial officer sends him after a rebellion target (someone that can easily be recast but is still important, like Mon Mothma) or maybe just some powerful warlord or something.

Also, a solo Obi-Wan movie starring McGregor set between Episode 3 and 4 could be great.

Early days of the Jedi/Sith. Maybe contained to a single planet with a more medieval vibe, outside of the light swords they develop.

This with the development of the lightsaber. Maybe not so terrestrial, maybe early hyperspace, with only a few systems safely known...

Also, a solo Obi-Wan movie starring McGregor set between Episode 3 and 4 could be great.

This. Id love to see the novel "Kenobi" as a movie.

Taking off of my thread, I would love a SW origin story, like the creation of the Jedi, and maybe Yoda being young and lively like I was in Attack of the Clones. What species was Yoda anyway, or does that not matter.

"Seven Samurai" with Jedi. Set a few years after RotS, Survivors of the purge (and friends) are gathered up by a grizzled, old, one-armed Mace Windu (Living under an assumed name in the darkest alleys of Coruscant) who has been hunted down by a force-sensitive kid in the hopes of procuring his help fending off the Imperial invasion of an outer-rim planet where the first inklings of a serious Rebellion has begun to form in earnest. An Alamo-esque finale (and death of these last few Jedi) kick-starts these beginnings of the Rebel Alliance.

Maybe not Windu, but this is the best idea I've seen so far.

You want to throw Samuel L Jackson OUT of this idea?!

"I like the sound of pizza, if you'd leave off all that sauce and the toppings."

Windu was kind of a dick in the PT and Jackson never got to do much with the character. I think it would be great to see him as a humbled former Jedi Master and Council member finding some peace in doing one last good deed for the galaxy to account for his many failures.

Heck, you could even involve Vader and/or Boba Fett pretty easily, with Vader in charge of the Imperial force bearing down on the rebels and Fett called in by Vader to delay the ragtag team of Jedi with the promise of a chance to revenge his father.

Yoda is a member of Yoda's species. Neither he nor Yaddle have been given a specific name for their people.

Yes please! I haven't read the novel but I would love to see Ewan as Obi Wan again.

Windu was kind of a dick in the PT

How was Windu a dick? He was the only one who did not bend over and take the BS of Anakin being the chosen one, and said he did not trust him. If Kenobi (and Yoda) actually listened to that, he would have steered Anakin away from so much direct contact with Palpatine, and from there, who knows how the in-universe story could have played out?

 

[Greylock Crescent]

Windu was a bit of a dick. He completely misread Anakin as a person. He was arrogant. Myopic. And ignorant.

Remember, he's the one who said Dooku couldn't possibly be a bad guy because "He was once a Jedi. It's not in his character."

Put simply, Windu - for all his power and intelligence and badassery - was emblematic of the problems (e.g. hubris) of the Jedi Order in the PT.

Windu was a bit of a dick. He completely misread Anakin as a person. He was arrogant. Myopic. And ignorant.

He did not trust Anakin and his relationship with Palpatine. He was correct, the greatest example of that was cutting Windu's hand off to protect a Sith lord.

Remember, he's the one who said Dooku couldn't possibly be a bad guy because "He was once a Jedi. It's not in his character."[/quote]

He's basing that on the honorable he once knew, so again, he was correct. Moreover, at that time in the film, other Jedi had the same opinion of Dooku (Ki-Adi Mundi's "He is a political idealist, not a murderer.").

was emblematic of the problems (e.g. hubris) of the Jedi Order in the PT.

Anakin was the textbook example of it, to the point where even non-Jedi like Padme questioned the go-nowhere thought of wanting to be all-powerful. The other Jedi did not see themselves as such. In fact, one can say Windu taking other Jedi with him to arrest Palpatine illustrates that he was not arrogant enough to think the job would be easy. Far different than Anakin or Palpatine.

Pretty much all of the Jedi are on the dickish scale to some extent or another. Qui-Gon (and possibly Yoda) is about the only one with more than a line or two who escapes coming off as an asshole at some point or another.

How about a movie, or a whole series, that is to the Star Wars trilogies what "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" is to the Indiana Jones movies.

Now that I would love to see!

I'd like to also see a definitive on screen conclusion to Darth Maul's arc. I know there was a comic, but I want to see it on film. They went to the trouble of bringing him back from the dead, they have to properly wrap up his story. Maybe he can appear in Rebels? Perhaps Obi Wan can duel him on Tatooine, similar to in that Visionaries comic?

Ventress , too. Her story needs a proper conclusion

 

[Mr Light]

As for Ventress, read the Dark Disciple novel.

 

[Venardhi]

It really shouldn't be necessary to read and watch everything to get fully realized arcs and stories. Having Grievous show up in RotS was weak tea because it meant the medium he was created for wasn't able to finish telling his story and his appearance meant little-to-nothing for the general uninitiated audience. Having crossover in the movies is one thing, but characters in the show should stay in the show and have their entire story told there. If they have another story that they can be introduced into the films for, that is another matter.

 

[Mr Light]

Dark Disciple is a novelization of unproduced Clone Wars episodes. It was supposed to be on the air but they cancelled the show.

 

[Turtletrekker]

I want to see a movie about the thousand year journey of pain and suffering through the Sarlaac's belly.

 

[Skywalker]

Bingo. They were never going to get to do those episodes on TV, so they smartly repurposed them into a novel so the story could still be told.

The same thing happened with the comic miniseries Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir. It focused on what happened to Maul after his final appearance in The Clone Wars. Interestingly, while it was produced by Dark Horse Comics (their contract with Lucasfilm had yet to expire), it's considered canon with the rest of TCW.

 

[SPCTRE]

Basically a Knights of the Old Republic movie, but only if

Spoiler: KOTOR

Darth Revan is female

, because HEAD CANON.
