Mara Jade Skywalker Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I really wish they'd either just announce a Fett movie already or stop perpetuating the rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Dameron Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I'm leery of the whole anthology idea. Also, I hope they push back Episode VIII to winter. I find that I really like having Star Wars and Christmas season together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El Chalupacabra Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Yeah it is weird that 2020 is 4 years away. There was a time where it might as well have been a century away. I wish they would cancel the Han Solo movie, and just produce 2 or 3 Obi Wan movies. I'm cool with the Rogue One and Boba Fett movie, though.

The Kurgan Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I'd like to see an ewok movie, a gungan movie and another holiday special. <edit> Oh, and a romance anthology made in tandum with the Lifetime television network, outlining the less known dates that Han + Leia and Anakin + Padme went on, and a preview of Rey + Finn.

I find that I really like having Star Wars and Christmas season together.I enjoy the Marvel character movies, and I'm assuming that's basically what they're doing with the Anthology movies, so I'm okay with it for now. Rogue One has a great premise so far. Recasting Han Solo might be a mess. On the one hand, the Prequels were all spring releases. On the other, I'm sure retailers LOVE having Star Wars and Christmas together... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Yeah it is weird that 2020 is 4 years away. There was a time where it might as well have been a century away. You mean 1920? I'm leery of the whole anthology idea. I love it. It was never the concept of the EU that I hated-- it's that I never felt that prose was the right language to tell a Star Wars story. More movies, a TV show, more cartoons-- those can, and should, tell more stories from the vast SW universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue One has a great premise so far. Recasting Han Solo might be a mess.Marvel's different. Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and Hulk are supposed to have their own stories. Bringing them together in The Avengers was like what DC did with the Justice League. It was a way to sell a lot of comics by having everyone's favorite characters in one place. Star Wars movies have always been centralized. The side-stories either happened in other mediums like comics, novels, or cartoons, or when they were theatrical were pretty far separated from the rest of the series (Ewoks movies). I love it. It was never the concept of the EU that I hated-- it's that I never felt that prose was the right language to tell a Star Wars story. More movies, a TV show, more cartoons-- those can, and should, tell more stories from the vast SW universe. Well, perhaps we just differ there. I thought Star Wars often translated extremely well to print when put in the right hands. In a lot of ways, print allowed for a much larger universe. Though I will admit that I'm much more of a reader than I am a television of film viewer these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceheart Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Don't you mean Poe + Finn?No. That should be left to the fanfic writers.Nowadays, fanfic gets book deals which then get movie deals. Poe + Finn movie it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like something you'd come up with using the Star Wars sequel debacle simulatron. Google search it if you haven't heard of it. It's good fun.

Mara Jade Skywalker Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 All joking aside, it's kind of sad that people automatically equate gay relationships with fanfiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDog Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 It really is. I also think it's sad that Star Wars is automatically not allowed to have them. That's just ... taken for granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
