Hopefuy with the success of the main saga films like TFA, Disney will become confident enough to really take risks with the spinoffs.

I’d also be interested in a Vader standalone set during the time between ANH and ESB based off the Vader comics by Marvel.

It’d be interesting to have an entire Star Wars movie focused on the villian, with the good guys only dropping in from time to time as opposed to the other way around.

I would rather have a Vader film set between ROTS and SW. Not only would it give us Vader killing Jedi (like what should have been shown in ROTS) but we would get to see Vader struggle with his diminished potential, his Dark Side training, the actions he took in ROTS and how he got used to his cybernetic suit. There’s a lot more room for growth with that option.

Rogue One seems to be going into a different and bold direction with it essentially being a war film. Some will complain that “It doesn’t feel like Star Wars” which is a complaint that will be abundant as it pertains to these new films but it doesn’t matter to me as long as they make good stories and try something different every now and again. Hopefully Episode VIII will continue this trend and seeing as how Rian said the film would be weird it seems as though risks are being taken in that film as well.

I want a film showing what Palpatine was doing during ANH. Show him dissolving the Senate.

PALPATINE stands in the floating circle in the middle.

PALPATINE: You're all fired. Go home.
BRAVE SENATOR #1: You can't do that!

PALPATINE shocks them with his unlimited lightning power. Exit SENATORS.

In a world without the cheesy prequel backstory, Aniken Skywalker, a Star Wars Story would’ve been awesome. That, RO, and maybe some sort of Kenobi solo story, would’ve made a great prequel trilogy.

Wow, that brings up a good point, with GL no longer in charge. That means if they make a Boba Fett movie that they might use the voice of whoever portrays him rather than hire back the guy from the prequels. That’s what a normal studio would do anyway. So how would that be? Boba Fett with yet another voice?

Also, are you guys hoping it’ll be like Dredd? Where he never takes his helmut off?

They could, but I highly highly doubt they ever would.

I’d like the helmet to stay on the whole movie, too, yeah. Just do a kinda Space Western like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly or The Man With No Name.

If Fett takes his helmet off, I’m definitely not watching it. Assuming I know beforehand, say from a trailer or word of mouth after the first week (I don’t trust online spoilers).

I felt the same way when I saw ESB and again when I saw ROTJ. They ruined Vader.

Since head canon is such a big thing here this

is the face of Vader I know to be canon. Sebastian is still in the Ewok celebration though.

That’s… an interesting thing to decide to head canon.

Thank you. My head canon also consists of Leia lying about always knowing Luke was her brother. I’m not really opposed two consenting adults who happen to be related getting it on but Luke and Leia don’t really strike me as the type to be down with that.

No…they burnt off…like what happens to a lot of burn victims in real life.

If they did Boba like an intergalactic Man With No Name kind of thing, it might work. The original concept art certainly invokes Clint Eastwood’s character.

Also, they need only show Boba repairing the voice filter in his helmet, fiddling with it until it sounds like Wingreen again. Problem solved! 😉

I’m probably one of the few people who doesn’t mind Temura Morrison. Sure he’s a prequel retcon/SE change but if you look past that he does have a cool voice.

I never had any loyalty towards Wingreen. Honestly, I don’t get it. It’s a cool voice but he’s got four lines?

As for the potential spin-off, I don’t think there’s much to worry about. Morrison’s easy to get past if you just forget why you hate him (PT/SE). Boba’s origin has already been fucked so no need to worry that the movie will do that. Besides that the character is a blank slate in the new canon so there’s a lot of room for something interesting, and finally a way for Fett to live up to his off-screen hype on-screen.

My beef is if your normal voice is coming out of that helmet, why wear a disguise at all? You don’t see Dengar wearing a mask.

And the way Fett operates in the few EU novels I’ve read involves wearing a disguise to get close to his quarry. All the more reason to disguise your voice when you’re in the suit.

And Temura’s line reading is so damn bland.

I really liked Tem in AOTC. He was great as Jango in my mind, I just wish he hadn’t been related to Boba and I wish Boba hadn’t been a lame clone. Changing the voice in the OT is now just a reminder of hos shit they made the character in AOTC (and how shit those movies were in general) every time I watch the OT. It’s like if, since Hayden Christensen played Anakin, they went back and replace James Earl Jones’ voice with a modulated version of Hayden.

To be fair, Boba’s badass gravelly OT delivery is a big reason he was so cool to me. He sounded like a grizzled gunslinger. Tem’s read sounds half asleep.

Wasn’t there a rumor that the first scene of the Boba Fett movie was going to be Clone Boba getting his ass killed and a new character taking the armor and name?

It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher

Yeah that’s been going around, and that could be awesome… but it’ll never realistically happen.

AKA the Dread Pirate Roberts scenario.

Hopefully not going that far. One time is plenty to fix what George did, but I don’t generally like the idea that a character (James Bond comes up a lot) is just a title that’s “passed down” from person to person over generations. It just seems silly to me.

This is kinda my dichotomy with this scenario: As much as I don’t like it, the Lucas Clone Boba is now the real Boba Fett. There’s no reason for someone else to take Clone Boba’s name if he’s lame enough to be killed by someone else and has no reputation, but if Clone Boba is good enough and has enough reputation for someone to want to kill him, he is Boba Fett being usurped by an imposter.

They’d have to sell the “Legend of Boba Fett” to me pretty hard for it to be acceptable, because there’s no precedent for a Dread Pirate Roberts situation. Jango’s clone was the first Boba Fett (you could argue that his kid was the first “Boba Fett” in a long time but then why is Jango also a Fett and why didn’t he just take the name Boba himself?) and for there to even be a legend, Clone Boba would have to become the Boba Fett, at which point why even kill him off except to say that the Empire Boba is a different person (which is just not likely after they spent all the time and money to redub his OT lines).

You’d have to have at least two movies to show Clone Boba becoming the best bounty hunter in the galaxy, and then another movie to show how someone else (you could just alter the Jaster Mereel origin for the story) got better and offed him.

As much as it sucks, I just don’t see a way to salvage the character.
