Where should Lucasfilm go after Episode IX? — Page 2

No need to even mash them up. I think stories in the style of Star Trek (but less sci-fi) and Indiana Jones would both neat to see.

Hopefully they just stop.

I enjoyed 7, mostly disliked 8, and currently feel really very little one way or the other towards 9.

Rogue One was an interesting side show but I didn’t bother with solo.

So yeah… just make it stop.

You shouldn’t take your frustrations out on Solo. It’s actually a fun movie in spite of it’s troubled production history.

Well half of that statement’s right.

I think the saga should end with 9 films. I think the other films should focus on other times and other people. I think for trilogies it needs to be something epic, but for a one off film it could be about anyone. I think for the trilogies they should go back to the glory days of the Republic and Jedi. We have Palpatine saying the Republic is 1000 years old and Obi-wan saying the Jedi have been the guardians for a thousand generations, which by some estimates is 25000 years. So that is a huge time frame. It would be fun to have a Trilogy on the origins of the Prequel republic and it would be awesome to do some movies from way before that. When the Sith were the real enemy and not just maneuvering behind the scenes. There are so many corners of the Star Wars universe and timeline to explore. The possibilities are endless. We need to be done with the Skywalker story.

I think Lucasfilm needs to go as far away from Disney and their bullshit as possible

I’m also not convinced much of this has to do with Disney. For better or worse, this is the vision a Lucasfilm without George has for Star Wars.

I think if they move away from the episodic saga, they should take that as an opportunity to move away from trilogies. Why not a pentalogy? Or a show?

Honestly, I would prefer they lay off the Skywalker saga for a long while. Perhaps they could pick it up again someday, with something like a 100 year timegap.

Sounds perfect. I can’t imagine that time gap would match the real one though. I think 50 would be decent compromise, but I don’t think the corporate machine could wait that long.

Or a break?

I think Lucas lost momentum by waiting so long between trilogies. But to be honest, I think the only way any more movies were going to happen was if Lucas removed himself. I think if he would have tried to the the sequels that he would have ended up with the same problem as the prequels - no one wanted to direct them with him staring over their shoulder. I think we will find that the sequels are really his story with some changes to make them work better. There are hints at that already. They may have moved as far from George’s treatments as some of his films did from treatment to film.

I think they should make some movies, take a break, make some more, take a break. I don’t think they gave Solo enough time. They should have stuck with the Christmas releases.

Trilogies make nice longer stories in digestable installments. Lots of franchises use trilogies. But the one off stories are awesome as well.

If they do take a five year break they should get rid of Kathleen, restore majority of the EU, promote Pablo as creative director, redo the prequels and restore and release the OUT. If anyone has a problem with this please pm me instead of derailing the thread.

I’d rather do neither.

I wouldn’t call it the “Skywalker saga.” It may have focus on the Skywalker family, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s about them. The originals were its own thing, the prequels told the backstory of the characters from the classic trilogy, and the sequels are about new characters, while the original characters still have a major role in the films, since we want to see where they are, not to mention them being galactic heroes. If Lucasfilm decides to make Episodes X, XI and XII, I think it would be a nice Segway from Episode IX to the fourth trilogy by having Rey and Ben lead off with their potential kids. Yes, I do think Kylo Ren and Rey will, in a way, end up together. Those are just my thoughts.

I agree 100% with not calling it the Skywalker Saga, hence why I never refer to it as such. This makes me wonder why you quoted me here.

I very much think that the Skywalker Saga is definitely over after IX. However I don’t think it will be the end of numbered episodes. And by that I mean, I think we’ll see the start of new “sagas” with their own numberings.

I have been considering the possibility of numbered sagas, an idea I got from the title of an early draft of ANH (like my username).

Blame Disney. Lucasfilm, like any sane person wanted a December release date, but Disney want to keep their promise to shareholders that their purchase of Lucasfilm would have broken even by this financial quarter.

I believe Dave Filoni had some trouble making The Clone Wars when it first debuted, due To George Lucas interfering. The Clone Wars movie that came out in theaters is just four episodes of the show mashed together, because they were being rushed by George because he wanted a movie in theaters.

The Clone Wars was only good because the two were working together. Without Filoni, you get the Prequels. Without Lucas, you get Rebels. Honestly, I’d take the former over the latter, but I think we can all agree TCW outdoes them both.

I’m really getting sick of your sh*t, Zerome.

You keep barging into threads and hating on anything that isn’t the OT (or the EU, apparently?). The way you go about it is very disrespectful towards the people involved in these productions as well as fellow users.

Well, I’m pretty sure Johnson’s trilogy won’t deal with Skywalker affairs and I don’t think anyone knows what the Game of Thrones guys are doing for their trilogy. I don’t think we’ll see Episode X for a very long time.

I’m really getting sick of your different opinions, Zerome.

You keep replying to threads and not responding in a pro SE and ST way on anything that isn’t the OT (or the EU, apparently?). The way you go about it is very confusing towards the people involved in these productions as well as fellow users.

FTFY. Also please play nice.
