I think they should do a film where Condorman and Boba Fett make babies called Condorfett and Bobaman.
A "Mos Eisley" miniseries a la Fargo would be neat.
Ditto. Just wish they didn’t make him a modicum more tolerable in TCW.
FTFY
Darth Bane stuff ? I’m on !
Ditto. Just wish they didn’t ruin him in TCW.
Also I don’t know if you’re joking or not.
Why would I be joking about it ? There is a great film to be made about that, maybe a tv series. Don’t remember if it was really ruined in TCW: Yoda just happened to meet a fake Darth Bane ghost.

You’ve called TCW Darth Bane an “abomination” twice, you said that Darth Bane was right to destroy the Brotherhood of Darkness in spite of the fact that the Rule of Two was created to prevent infighting, and here you said that TCW ruined Darth Bane.
Don’t remember if it was really ruined in TCW: Yoda just happened to meet a fake Darth Bane ghost.
When Lord Haseo says “ruined,” he means “differed from the Darth Bane novels.”

Ok… well, I don’t really care about SW novels, my only interest for the saga is the movies and tv series. That being said, SW is now Disney, and Pixar belongs to Disney, so an animated adaptation by Pixar of the “Shadows of the Empire” material (novel, video game, soundtrack) is something I would want to see, with Brad Bird involved, and Genndy Tartakovsky as well. The only spin off movie I would be interested to see. Young Han Solo ? Don’t care. Boba Fett adventures ? Sounds boring. Obi-Wan trilogy ? I don’t see the point. How the rebel alliance stole the death star plans ? Filler material, can be fun but I’m pretty sure it will be a pointless movie. To explore the old republic era and the legendary Sith/Jedi schism ? Ok, here you’ve got my attention (Peter Jackson could do something about that, without goofy stuff that have ruined parts of his Tolkien adaptations. Guillermo del Toro would also be the man).

Here’s a reply I made to someone on Youtube regarding the same subject:
The Darth Bane in TCW is for all intents and purposes a generic Sith. Darth Bane’s temperament, mannerisms, rationales and mindset in the novels are what make him interesting. The Darth Bane in the Karpyshyn books would have found the phrase “I created a legacy so resilient that now you stand before me.” to be woefully pathetic. A useless exercise in boasting that wouldn’t have resulted in anything. Especially since the Dark Side hadn’t exactly prevailed just yet. Also the Darth Bane in the novels wouldn’t be worried at all if he’s feared by Yoda. He would note it in his mind (if at all) and move on. Such a petty thought would have been worthy of a lesser Sith.
“they let him keep his contributions to the mythos.”
All the canon Bane did was create the Rule of Two. None of the other shit from the novels carried over.
“How do you know this Bane couldn’t be just as good if not a better character than the non-canon one.”
It’s possible but seeing as how they wrote him to be a generic Sith in TCW that doesn’t bode well. The reason Darth Bane is so liked is because he’s so different from the myriad of Sith Lords who came before and after him.
Also it’s been a while since I brought him up so I don’t get why you’re on my nuts about this.

There’s no need to normalize anything, they’re already on a scale of 100. People prefer the OT (with TFA on par with ROTJ) and are meh at best on the PT. Scores in the 60’s are not good.The normalization is used to compare results within a same batch, as a whole “SW perception”. Does not change too much thing anyway.
Most people don’t care for the prequels. Deal with it. How relevant is comparing them to the original trilogy when we’re discussing rebooting the prequels? Not relevant at all.
Besides making TESB 100 is innacurate as there will always be some (very few) that would not give it 10/10 and instead 9/10.
Most people don’t care ? That’s hardly the issue dude. PT is canon, deal with it yourself.
edit: thread title is “WHAT OTHER SPINOFFS SHOULD DISNEY MAKE?”
How relevant is discussing about rebooting the PT ? Not relevant at all.
I am dealing with it. People were saying that there would be backlash against a PT reboot when data shows otherwise. Not really an issue, more like support for my arguement.
I consider a PT reboot a spinoff as it would not be that tied to the main canon Skywalker saga (being non canonical and all). So yeah, pretty relevant, and besides this is my thread.

I didn’t mean it like that. I had a PT reboot listed as a spinoff in the OP which means a PT reboot is a spinoff and therefore relevant to the thread. MalaStrana (sorry if I mispelled) said a PT reboot was irrelevant.
I don’t want a PT reboot, because I know that the OT will come next. It also confuses things. What if a young child wants to have a marathon, so he watches original Episode I, rebooted Episode II, and then both cuts of Episode III because he thinks they are two separate films? It would just mess everything up.
Not enough people read the EU.
I think the decision to include the original cast in the ST indicates that the OT is probably safe from reboots in any case. Beyond that though, they made such a big fuss about the official status of the new canon when they threw out the EU that I’d be astounded if anything that survived the purge ends up being discarded. I guess it’s possible decades down the line, but not before another enormous overhaul like the Legends thing.
I would like to see the Han Solo film, the post ROTJ Boba Fett film, as well as Rogue One. It doesn’t matter that we are getting these films now, it matters when the younger generation can watch all of these in chronological order.
I hope we get a very young 50-100 year old Yoda film, but what would it be about? You could see the ancient Sith attacking Yoda’s planet/species leaving him and maybe a couple of others left.
Darth Bane, I would love to see that too.
I’ve mentioned it before, but I’ve got a definite idea in my head of how the Fett movie should go. Aftermath showed some Jawas in possession of a battered set of Mandalorian armor that was heavily implied to be Boba’s. I’d like to see some young guy purchase it and start posing as Fett. Unbeknownst to him him, though, the real Fett survived the Sarlacc and is now on his trail. It could be like a SW No Country for Old Men if done well. It might even be cool to end it in such a way that we aren’t sure which one wins out, so that we’re always wondering who’s in the suit whenever Boba Fett shows up again afterward.
I doubt that the OT will get remade. The closest we will get is a crappy cartoon (not Rebels, but a cartoon replica of the original story) or a young Han Solo. Similar to how no one will remake the Wizard of Oz unless it is a loose prequel/sequel or a cartoon no one will see.
The Person in Question
I’d be up for a straight adaptation of the Baum books, but the MGM musical casts a very long shadow. The hostile reception Return to Oz got proved a lot of people have no clue about the source material at all.
Where were you in '77?
^ George Lucas agrees with you.
“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”

Kids aren’t that stupid. If they are confused, they Google search. A kid stupid enough to do that probably can’t even walk. You never hear any confusion about the various superhero reboots over the years. If a kid is young enough, there will be no confusion as the rebooted prequels will be the only prequels they know. Lucas’ prequels will be forgotten by non superfans same as the Ewok movies and the Holiday Special. Happy ending for everyone!
Most young kids also have parents nudging them in the “correct” directions.

Both of these are true, I don’t see PT reboots happening anytime soon but the PT may eventually end up in the “Legends” category. I would have higher hopes for this but the fact that their comics and TV series are so closely tied to the prequels and have retconned the shit out of the OT so i don’t know if Disney will completely erase our current versions of the PT from canon. I do see the possibility of them doing a “special edition” of them by going in and trying to fix things up.

I feel like I’m losing my mind reading this prequel discussion. I get wanting a PT reboot, but believing that it’s something that’s reasonably possible is delusional. In the year and a half or so since Disney threw out all the Legends stuff (and ignoring the fact that the PT and TCW were kept 100% official canon), the nuEU has made a point of creating tons of links and ties from the PT to the OT and beyond. It’s a load-bearing element in the continuity, and it’s only becoming more entrenched. I know a lot of you aren’t interested in that stuff and that you’d rather have new prequels, but it should be clear from the fact that Disney is producing this material that they’re not on the same page. We’re in a bubble here, and it’s easy to think the priorities the denizens of this board share are the norm across the fan base, but go look at the Cantina forum. Look at TFN, even though they’re awful. Hell, look at Tumblr. There’s plenty of PT conversation going on, and it isn’t all about how much they suck by a long shot. And there’s a massive TCW following. I cannot see Disney, with all this goodwill from TFA, turning around and alienating that sizable segment of fans by saying, “we’re going to redo that thing you like because those angry guys over there on the other side of the internet feel like they got shafted seventeen years ago”. It’s true that most people don’t like the prequels, but it’s also true that most of those people apart from the obsessive fans have moved on and are just excited about the ST. And those casual fans are where the numbers are. This is a special interest. Maybe fifteen or twenty years down the line I can see them splitting the continuity a la JJ’s Trek films (although please, damn it, no time travel), but I find it impossible to believe that it’s even on Disney’s radar for anywhere in the near future.

If they were ever going to go that route, I think they would have done it already during the Great EU Purge.
