STAR WARS
EPISODE VIII - THE BACKSTROKE OF THE WEST
THAT HELICOPTER THAT WAS CIRCLING THE ISLAND HAS GONE. WE'RE SORRY ABOUT THAT. LUKE SKYWALKER HAS TAKEN THE LIGHTSABER GIVEN TO HIM BY REY AND THROWN IT INTO THE OCEAN. BECAUSE HE HATES THAT THING AND EVERYONE THAT USES IT LOSES A HAND.

We have an entire galaxy of new characters to explore. Fuck the OT backstories.

Honestly, Rogue One and Obiwan are all we need. Fuck both the Han Solo and Fett movies. The only good thing about Solo is Lands being played by Glover.
I'd even argue that Rogue One is completely useless.
Rogue One is giving us Donnie Yen in a Star Wars movie and more Vader. So it's got some value, at least to me

I won't argue that. But it looks like a good film that's pretty inoffensive and we could use more of those in the Star Wars universe.

Even Ewan McGregor wants the Obi-Wan movie. Do it for him, Lucasfilm!

Can we get original movies instead of Star wars the teenage years or fill in the blank like rogue one.
Ewan desperately wants to be in a good Star Wars movie. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Force Ghost Obi-Wan in one of the new movies
We just had Episode 7 and Episode 8 is around the corner
I always liked the Boba Fett character for what he was in Empire Strikes Back: the best bounty hunter with a penchant for disintegrations.
His appearances anywhere else outside of fan-service boss battles in SW games have sucked (including RotJ), and I see little need expand beyond what he was in Episode V.

For those that want an obi wan movie, I hope you are watching Star Wars Rebels. It's hinting at stuff
I think a final Obi-Wan vs Darth Maul showdown should happen on the big screen, though.

I would but it's not on Netflix.

Bobba Fett might be the most overrated badass in cinema history. He died like a total loser.

Star wars is such a blank slate for stuff that having every movie take place in a 50 year window is lame
KOTOR was such a breath of fresh air. Also a lot of the Old EU as well
No lies detected. KOTOR is legitimately one of the best contributions to the franchise. It's probably the best EU story that isn't Thrawn and it's a better prequel than the prequels.

Boba Fett is such a lame character. Who is asking for this?

OFFS, stop trying to make that jobber a thing. Fett is a nothing character who was defeated by a mostly blind guy, on accident.

Like seriously.
His origins have already been covered.
What the hell was George Lucas's obsession with seeing everyone as a six year old?
WHAT. Seriously? I think I'm going to be sick. I always knew that was Greedo's race obviously but holy shit is this lazy and stupid that it's actually him.
In a massive universe they felt it was reasonable that Luke(by way of Anakin), C3PO, and fucking Greedo all have origins from the same neighborhood in Episode 1? My god.

Oh I definitely agree. I think the best Star Wars story after the OT is KOTOR so I would love to explore new characters and places. It's just that an Obi-Wan movie sounds much better than what we're actually getting.

But hey! at least it isnt a rip off like TFA was. Gotta appreciate the world building and orginality.
I hope not, that would be kind of lame.
Also what's the fixation with Boba Fett? Where does the cool come from? Certainly not from the movies

Fuck Boba. Bossk, IG-88 and Zuckuss all looked way more interesting in the lineup. Jango held his own against Kenobi, which is more than I can say for Boba at the Sarlacc.
Speaking of Kenobi...please make that movie before Ewan gives up.
If it helps, which it probably won't, Anakin's friend isn't Greedo, that's Wald. Anakin just ends up randomly fighting Greedo in the street in a deleted scene.

But we already did!
But yeah, a Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan film needs to happen.
George Lucas was a madman.
Remember when Chewbacca met Yoda for some reason? Remember that?

That's not Greedo.
It's Wald.
This is almost as funny as when people complain about prequel CG, but cite things that are actually models or sets.
I'm down with no crawl. The spinoffs get more freedom than episodes. I'm all for it if it's done well.

This.
All this Boba Fett hate is weird, I presume it's a reaction to the unadulterated fan-wankery he received in the old EU? The reason people remembered him at all from the OT was due to a cool design and the air of mystery. That's it, that's fine, he served his purpose in the story.
From what I remember, the pitch for the Fett film was basically like a spaghetti western in the Star Wars universe - with Fett basically filling the role of Clint Eastwood in Good/Bad/Ugly. I would have been cool with that because that sounds like a good pitch.
A Han Solo film though, seriously, fuck that. I could see that movie easily flopping because who the fuck wants a Han Solo movie without Harrison Ford?

What does this deleted scene have to do with the claim in my post?
That's right: nothing.
As said above, that picture is of Wald, not Greedo. Only Wald is in TPM. Greedo is in a deleted scene, which isn't canon.
EDIT: Too slow with the stealth. Your mistake will live on.

they are actually going with a spaghetti western style for the Han Solo movie + there are lots of talented people involved with the movie. Im willing to give them a chance.

I don't care what they say about that han solo movie it sounds like a trash idea. Lord and Miller arent good enough to make me give it the benefit of the doubt either.
That idea sounds fantastic. However they really fucked him over in Jedi.. it's kinda like.. we're getting a full movie about some idiot that accidentally got knocked into a Sarlacc pit by a fumbling blind man? I'd be so down to see more of the bounty life though, that's some of the lesser explored worlds in the canon.
I dunno that just doesn't sit right with me. They made him out to be some throwaway dude.

Glad to see they are distancing themselves from the tropes of the saga films, hopefully they'll also avoid their formulas as well. I want this one to be unique and stand out. Although it will be weird to see no opening crawl...

Kasdan has been dying to make this movie for years. It's got a great cast (except dragon lady). It's got great talent. Who do you trust more? Lord/Miller or Gareth Edwards?
History will prove me right. Unless it doesn't, which is fine, because I'd like Rogue One to be good.

Say what you will but I suggest a Vader film only because they are considering a Bobba Fett film. The former is considerably more appealing and important to me. Understanding how and why he was motivated, as well as his personal grievances between episode 3 and 4 makes for a more compelling movie than fucking Bobba Fett.
But instead of both, I'd take an Obi-wan movie in a heartbeat.

But TFA does the stupid small universe coincidence stuff too. If anything it worked the hardest out of any of the films to shrink the setting.
I have a hard time trusting the people who helped give us Son of Zorn
