Star Wars Saga (OT/PT/ST) Discussion Thread

[wormlander]

Been getting made since Texas Chainsaw....

I think its very telling that "heroes" are made of serial killers like Myers, Jason, Freddie and even Hannibal Lector. Many people here even have dolls of those characters. Idolizing.

But then, is it really any different than Alien, Terminator and Predator?

I personally prefer creature features. If I want to see people killing people I just watch the news...

I was re-watching Spider-Man: Homecoming this weekend and it got a few laughs out of me that I didn't remember last time, and when I watched the credits, I noticed John Francis Daley wrote the movie. I recognized his name from a few other successful movies and it got me thinking ...

Are there any notable writers or directors that you think would be a good fit for a new Star Wars movie? There are certain creatives that always knock it out of the park. Any movie directed by Denis Villeneuve, or written by Taylor Sheridan will put my butt in a seat (yes, Sicario is one of my favorites). Not that I think either of those two would be a great fit for Star Wars, but I can think of a number of great directors, but none that would be likely to take on a Star Wars film.

For example, would Edgar Wright make a good Star Wars movie? Probably not. He makes fun movies, but I don't see Star Wars as something he'd like to take on.

Is there anyone out there who has the chops to make an interesting Star Wars movie?

For Halloween In my school this year I had 3 or 4 kids dress up as Sonic or one of the other related characters.

None of the kids were anything Star Wars related.

This is a sad statement.

I don’t know if anybody can do that anymore because the goal for some reason is to try and piss people off and make people uncomfortable.

Like it’s weird. We seen it with joker 2. Screw the fanbase. Let’s get people angry and that gives us more traction but less money. Very odd

So, she waited 40 years to "attempt" to start a new Jedi Academy? Why 40 years? Was she changing careers?

She was doing Eat Pray Love.

I mean look at what happened when someone like Tony Gilroy came in.

So …
Christopher McQuarrie
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon
Kathryn Bigelow
Guillermo Del Toro
Steven Soderbergh
The Daniels

Interesting picks. McQuarrie and Del Toro I have no qualms with.

But why do Affleck/Damon, Bigelow, and Soderbergh jump out at you? They make good movies, for sure, but I don't see something like Star Wars in their wheelhouse.

Same question about The Daniels, I know nothing of them apart from EEAAO, which was a great movie, but what about their skills would be a great fit for star Wars?

Please keep discussion on topic. This is not the thread to describe graphic horror scenes.

So I finally started watching Mando season 1 again.. Only my 2nd viewing.. I was not that big a fan when it first came out but I am really enjoying it right now.

Of course I have not made it to Comic relief Tatooine lady yet. Man I hate here. Straight out of the SW Christmas special.

Yeah initially I was ok with her but she quickly tested my patience.

I miss Gina Carano she had charisma.

Stupid KK.

She's The Jar Jar of The Mando series....

Didnt her dialog include boasting of being intimate with a Jawa?
ha.ha.

Ughhh don’t remind me.

Oren Soffer
Hwang Dong-hyuk, out of South Korea
Damien Chazelle

This is assuming they'd get full creative freedom, but they won't.

What about that guy whth the unique idea to do Seven Samurai in Space!

No not that one,

No, not that one

 

[jye4ever]

There are so many directors out there that should be given a chance at SW.

First step though is cleaning house at Lucasfilm starting at the top.

Until that is done the director won’t matter under the dictatorship of the “message”.

 

[Khev]

The whole Rey trilogy makes no sense. Why does she need her own trilogy? Didn't she already have one?

Mando's all they got until they let KK go and bring someone in with some damn sense. I'm guessing that Disney is just too infected with the wrong kind of people to ever truly course correct though. Unless I'm proven wrong I'm fine just walking away and letting it burn. I've already got all the SW I'll ever need.

She was in the Mandalorian until the very end though, just like Grogu...

This is exactly the right way for Star Wars moving forward i.m.o. Well made one-off stories on exotic planets, not tied to the overarching saga. I'd personally prefer a jungle setting to Hoth though, especially since we recently got another great horror/ice planet episode in the Mandalorian...
